Chapter 588: Searching in the Fog
Zuo Qing'er's voice echoed in the empty office, with a barely perceptible tremor.
"Xiangning, have you ever thought that... those whose time has been stopped can survive in the ocean currents... without breathing?"
Wu Xiangning was stunned. This sudden thought was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in her mind.
No need to breathe?
Time stops?
Zuo Qing'er forcibly pieced these two seemingly unrelated concepts together, but strangely, they stirred a ripple in her heart.
She subconsciously clenched the silver nameplate in her hand, and the touch of the cold metal calmed her down a little.
"Report!" A crisp voice broke the silence in the office.
Wu Xiangning turned around and saw a tall woman standing at the door.
Her fiery red short hair is particularly eye-catching, her delicate facial features have a hint of determination, and her eyes sparkle with an indescribable light.
"Jialan'er? You're finally here!" Zuo Qing'er showed a relieved smile on her face, as if a drowning person had grabbed the last straw.
"Commander, I heard..." Jialan'er spoke in a hurried tone, as if she couldn't wait to express something.
Zuo Qing'er waved her hand, signaling her to calm down, then turned to Wu Xiangning and explained: "Jia Lan'er is the only survivor of the second special team."
"Two years ago, they encountered an unknown attack while on a mission. Except for her, all the other team members... disappeared."
"Since then, she has been drifting on the sea, looking for traces of her teammates."
"Drifting? Two years?"
Wu Xiangning widened her eyes in surprise. She couldn't imagine how a person could drift alone in the vast ocean for two years.
What perseverance and desperation that is.
"Yes,"
Jia Lan'er's voice was trembling, and her eyes were slightly red.
"I never gave up hope. I believed they were still alive, just trapped somewhere..."
"According to our latest intelligence,"
Zuo Qing'er's voice became serious.
"The Fifth Special Team was last seen in the waters near Japan. I suspect they, like your teammates, encountered some unknown force."
"This time, your mission is for you and Jia Lan'er to go to Japan, find them, and bring them back."
"Japan?"
There was a glimmer in Jialan'er's eyes, as if she saw the dawn of hope.
"Great! I finally have a chance to find them!"
"remember,"
Zuo Qing'er's tone was solemn.
"After you find them, don't let them get involved in the conflicts between the kingdoms of God. Their mission has ended. The most important thing now is to protect their safety."
"I understand!" Wu Xiangning and Jia Laner answered in unison.
"Okay, you guys go now,"
Zuo Qing'er pointed at the map on the table.
"This is a detailed map of the waters near Japan. I've marked some possible locations. You can focus your search."
Jialaner couldn't wait to pick up the map and study it carefully, as if she couldn't wait to fly to Japan.
"and many more,"
Wu Xiangning suddenly thought of a question.
"Commander, we only have one nameplate. How do we contact the Fifth Special Squad?"
Zuo Qing'er smiled mysteriously, "Jialan'er doesn't need a nameplate."
Wu Xiangning looked at Jialan'er in confusion, but the latter just gave her a meaningful smile without any explanation.
At the same time, in the distant Hokkaido, Japan, Lin Ye'er and Yu Huiqinggong were walking in the snow.
"Wow, the snow here is so beautiful!"
Lin Ye'er opened her arms excitedly, feeling the cool touch of the snowflakes falling on her face.
"yes,"
Yuhui Qinggong also showed a rare smile, "The air here is also very fresh, much better than in the city."
Suddenly, a deafening explosion was heard in the distance, the earth shook violently, and snowflakes fluttered down.
"What's going on?" Lin Ye'er's face changed and she looked around vigilantly.
"It seems like something exploded..." Yuhui Qinggong's voice was a little uneasy.
Lin Ye'er narrowed her eyes and vaguely saw a black shadow flash across the snow at an astonishing speed.
"What is that?" Lin Ye'er's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Let's go and take a look!" Yuhui Qinggong said, and ran towards the direction of the explosion.
Lin Ye'er followed closely behind, her heart filled with doubts and uneasiness...
"Driver, go faster!" Lin Ye'er urged anxiously.
The taxi sped along the winding mountain road, and outside the window were endless snow-capped mountains and dense forests.
"Miss, this is my fastest speed."
The driver replied helplessly, "This road is already difficult to travel on, and it's been snowing heavily and the roads are slippery..."
"I know……"
Lin Ye'er interrupted him irritably, "But we have to get there as soon as possible!"
She looked out the window at the increasingly desolate scenery, and a strange sense of unease rose in her heart...
"It seems to be just ahead..."
The driver pointed to a dilapidated village ahead and said.
