Earth, Space Travel Agency.
Lin Lin was frantically flipping through the list of tourists who left Earth, hoping to find Jiang Chen's name, but in the end he failed. No matter how many times he read it, he could not find the word 'Jiang Chen'.
"Why is there no name for him? Didn't he leave the earth?" Lin Lin murmured.
Since returning to Earth three days ago, Lin Lin has been investigating Jiang Chen's whereabouts. However, whether it was found by Grandpa Liu or through Hu Zhentian's relationship, he entered the tourism bureau to search for himself, but there was no information about Jiang Chen's departure. The news on Earth all points to one thing: Jiang Chen is still on Earth.
But if he is still on Earth, why can't he be found anywhere? Whether it was the surveillance video near his home or the answers Lin Lin got after visiting Jiang Chen's neighbors.
"That young man from the Jiang family? From what you said, it seems like he hasn't been seen back for several days. Maybe he is making a lot of money outside? It's normal not to go home for a few days."
As for Jiang Chen's parents, they left the earth to travel long before Jiang Chen disappeared, so they didn't know the whereabouts of their son. Of course, Lin Lin didn't say anything about Jiang Chen's disappearance, but only made side remarks. conclusion reached.
Putting down the tourist list, Hu Zhentian sent a message.
"Mr. Lin, I found the news!" Hu Zhentian's voice came out.
"What? Where?" Lin Lin immediately cheered up. This time he was going to catch Jiang Chen and beat him up, and he actually disappeared?
Hearing Lin Lin's question, Hu Zhentian became hesitant: "Well, Mr. Lin, please come over to my place. We need to talk in person."
Say it in person? Lin Lin was a little confused, wasn't it Jiang Chen's whereabouts? If you tell yourself directly, why don't you just go and find him? Why do you need to tell him in person? However, Lin Lin still agreed: "Well, you should stay over at Kunlun Mountain, right? I'll come find you."
"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, I am no longer there. I am now responsible for the entire northwest theater." Hu Zhentian smiled.
"Northwestern War Zone?"
"Yes, as for the one you killed last time, I handed over his body. Not long after, he told me that I had been promoted. I am now here in Bu'er Basin. I sent the coordinates Here you go, just come over here." Hu Zhentian did not hide his joy at being promoted, and even Qiu Chu standing next to him could see his face.
According to the original arrangement, after Hu Zhentian was promoted, Qiu Chu should take over his position in Kunlun Mountain. However, due to the strong demands of Hu Zhentian and Qiu Chu, and the body handed over by Hu Zhentian was of special importance, Because of the research significance, the superiors had no choice but to promote Qiu Chu to an extra level. At this time, he was still Hu Zhentian's deputy.
Qiu Chu stepped forward and coughed twice, telling Hu Zhentian to calm down and not get too excited. However, Hu Zhentian was not happy and said, "I finally got promoted, can't I be happy?"
"What I mean is, you are so happy that you talk to everyone you meet. You are afraid that others will not know that you are now one of the eight commanders of the theater. That's it." Qiu Chu cursed angrily. During this period, even if he met Tiao Chu on the road, Hu Zhentian was eager to go up to the dog and chat with it about his promotion. This made Qiu Chu, the adjutant who had to be with Hu Zhentian at all times, feel very embarrassed.
Then, the two started scolding each other, and Hu Zhentian didn't care that he hadn't hung up the communication with Lin Lin yet.
Silently hanging up the communication, Lin Lin walked out of the tourism bureau, summoned the mecha, and flew out amidst the exclamations of passers-by.
It has to be said that after Hu Zhentian was promoted, it was also helpful to Lin Lin. For example, if Lin Lin used to fly a mecha in the downtown area, he would inevitably be stopped by the police for questioning. But now, after Hu Zhentian was promoted, Lin Lin was immediately put on the white list. As long as it affected order, he could fly at will.
…
Not long after, Lin Lin approached the place where the coordinates were displayed. From the air, the Bubo Basin looked like it had been pressed out by a huge turtle, with its limbs and head clearly visible.
Regarding this place, Lin Lin only knew about its urban legends and parallel universes. However, at that time, Lin Lin had no interest in these things. He only heard some of them when chatting with his classmates.
However, looking at it now, Lin Lin felt that there really seemed to be a hint of mystery in it, because in such a dry place, looking down from the air, there was actually some vague feeling, just like fog. You know, Lin Lin Lin Ke has been strengthened, even in this case, there is a foggy feeling, which is enough to prove the difference here.
For now, even without those urban legends, Lin Lin would think that there was something wrong here. At least, there was something wrong with the magnetic field here.
Because of this mysterious feeling, Lin Lin finally gave up the idea of entering the basin directly and followed the coordinates to land next to the military camp.
Qiu Chu walked up to Lin Lin and took Lin Lin to the tent where Hu Zhentian was: "Mr. Lin, your friend's matter is a bit complicated. We can't confirm whether he is still alive."
"Complicated: Good?" Lin Lin became more and more confused. What happened to his ordinary good friend? Not only was his whereabouts secret, but he was still alive and dead.
Hu Zhentian clicked on a video and said to Lin Lin: "Mr. Lin, look, this is a piece of photography equipment that our people found in the basin."
After Lin Lin nodded, the video started playing.
It was fine at the beginning. It was just a record of a few travel companions going on an adventure together. Among them was Jiang Chen, whom Lin Lin had been looking for. The time on the video showed that it was just seven days ago, the day before Lin Lin contacted Jiang Chen.
The video is very short, only thirty minutes in total. Half of the time is Jiang Chen and the others walking in the desert while talking and laughing, but in the second half, it becomes weird.
Several people moved faster, with a hint of fear on their faces. The photographer also kept looking back while moving, as if he was looking at something, but the thing they were afraid of was not photographed.
At the end, the photographer collapsed in the desert, and the video was frozen here. In the last scene, several people who were exploring together collapsed on the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
"Mr. Lin, that's it." Hu Zhentian looked at the silent Lin Lin.
"Where's the body?" Lin Lin discovered the problem. Why only the video? This last scene was filmed with several people falling to the ground, but why did they only show the video?
Hu Zhentian and Qiu Chu looked at each other and said, "The person who discovered the equipment did not find any corpses nearby, and there were no traces of dragging on the ground. That's why I say this matter is a bit complicated."
"No body? Not even a trace?" Lin Lin suddenly felt bad. Could it be that a new alien race was experimenting on Earthlings, and Jiang Chen and the others were unlucky enough to be selected?
"Yes, we are now wondering whether there are aliens coming to the earth, just like they did hundreds of years ago, capturing people for experiments." Hu Zhentian expressed his thoughts.
Qiuchu took out the document and continued: "However, no matter what instrument we use to detect, we can't detect the traces left by the aircraft or aliens at the incident site. There are only two situations."
Lin Lin didn't speak, just waiting for Qiu Chu's next words.
"The first point is that the opponent's technological level is extremely high and can capture people without leaving any trace. However, according to common sense, a civilization of that level will not be interested in earthlings, so this is just a guess."
"The second point is that there really are some monsters and ghosts. We caught them. According to our myths, it is easy for monsters and monsters to come and go without leaving a trace."
"The above is our conclusion on this incident." Qiu Chu put away the documents and looked at Lin Lin: "But no matter what the situation is, we are currently unable to find traces of the other party."
"What do you mean, Jiang Chen and the others are probably really dead now?" Lin Lin asked.
Hu Zhentian sighed: "For now, they are in danger and can already announce their deaths to the public."
…
Night, outside the military camp.
Lin Lin did not leave the Bubo Basin. He still did not want to believe that Jiang Chen was dead. He decided to go to the incident site with the scientific researchers tomorrow to try their luck. Maybe they were only in a brief coma and forgot about the equipment after waking up. What's up?
"You are the only friend I have on Earth." Lin Lin sighed. If Jiang Chen really died, he would be truly alone on Earth.
"It is detected that the host is within the cosmic radiation range of Ziwei, and the system automatically accepts the task."
[The Mystery of Bu'er Basin]
Task tip: Find out the reason for the disappearance of Jiang Chen and others.
Mission reward: 10 attribute points, optional surface-level mecha coating x1
Mission time limit: seven days (from the time of accepting the mission)
After the new mission appeared, Lin Lin did not look at the mission reward, but stared at the prompt. The conspicuous word missing was not death, but missing. This meant that during the systematic investigation, Jiang Chen They are all still alive.
However, Lin Lin was confused about the cosmic radiation range of Ziwei. What did this mean? Could it be those ghosts from last time again?
Hydra, the Willow Clan, and the last time the Ziwei Universe appeared in the mission description, these things appeared that almost caused Lin Lin to die on the spot.
"System, what does this mission mean? What is the Ziwei cosmic radiation range? Is it those things again?" Lin Lin asked.
"After system monitoring, there is the aura of the Ziwei Universe here, so the task is assigned to the entry of the Ziwei Universe. However, no life from the Ziwei Universe has been found so far."
After getting the answer, Lin Lin felt relieved. He didn't want to face that kind of ghost again. The Hydra that appeared last time was extremely poisonous, and the Liu Clan was invulnerable. They couldn't even fall to death for thousands of meters. In the end, they still Use their own stuff to kill him.
Lin Lin really didn't want to face those things from the Ziwei Universe.
