Looking at Wu Yin who was sleeping soundly, Lin Fei added a few more pieces of firewood to the bonfire. He looked up at the beautiful night sky.
Dense stars dotted the night sky like a black curtain.
The little stars were twinkling, seeming to be blinking at Lin Fei who was looking at them.
Looking at the beautiful night sky above his head, Lin Fei's thoughts couldn't help but start to spread outward.
The scene when he, Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru were camping in the oasis of Tucker Desert came to mind.
At that time, the three of them were lying on the deck chairs in front of the campfire, looking up at the stars in the sky, chatting and eating snacks.
Thinking of snacks, Lin Fei couldn't help but feel a little greedy. He immediately took out a package of spiced beef jerky from the dimensional space. After opening the package, he took out a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly.
"Ah! Lin Fei, you secretly eat beef jerky by yourself, hurry up and give me some... I want to eat too."
"Lin Fei, Xiaoyue, we just had dinner not long ago! Are you hungry again?"
The voices of Zhou Yue and Wang Xiaoru suddenly appeared in Lin Fei's mind.
"I have to find a way to return to Blue Star quickly. Although I sent a voice message to Zhou Yue and Xiaoru before leaving, they will definitely be very anxious if there is no reply for too long."
Lin Fei looked up at the night sky with his eyes slightly distracted, and his thoughts began to wander aimlessly.
…………
In the hotel room, the lamp on the bedside table emits warm yellow light.
Two pretty figures were lying on the two single beds. They had their eyes closed and their breathing was even, as if they were asleep.
Suddenly, Zhou Yue suddenly opened her eyes, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room.
"Xiaoru, it's already past one o'clock in the morning, and there is still no news about Lin Fei. Let's go to the Superpower Management Bureau to report the case tomorrow morning!" Zhou Yue stood up and leaned on the bed, saying to Wang Xiaoru.
"..." After hearing Zhou Yue's voice, Wang Xiaoru, who had her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, turned to look at Zhou Yue who looked sad, and said, "It will take forty-eight hours for a missing person to be filed."
"It takes forty-eight hours? It takes that long?"
"The day after tomorrow! Let's wait another day. If there is still no news from Lin Fei, then we will go to the Superpower Management Bureau to report the case."
"Yeah." Zhou Yue nodded, then lay down again, mumbling, not knowing what she was mumbling.
"Xiaoyue, I'm ordering takeout. What do you want to eat?" Wang Xiaoru picked up the mobile phone placed next to the pillow, opened the takeout ordering software, and then asked Zhou Yue, who was mumbling something that she couldn't quite hear clearly.
"I have no appetite, you go ahead and eat!" Zhou Yue stopped mumbling and said listlessly when Wang Xiaoru asked what she wanted to eat.
"Xiaoyue, people are like rice and steel! If you don't eat, your stomach will be starved... You should eat more. If Lin Fei knew that you didn't have a good meal because of his own reasons, he would feel bad.
." Wang Xiaoru persuaded Zhou Yue.
Zhou Yue thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "Then please order me some seafood noodles!"
"OK."
Later, Wang Xiaoru ordered two seafood noodles. After ordering takeout, the two of them immediately closed their eyes again, and the scene when they parted with Lin Fei this afternoon kept replaying in their minds.
"Hey... I should have held him back then and not let him go!"
…………
It was past two o'clock in the morning, so late, when everyone was asleep, but the conference hall of the Yuncheng Superpower Management Bureau was brightly lit.
In the conference room, there were many investigators with level three or above strength.
These powerful investigators are not only local to Yuncheng, but also investigators from other cities who come to Yuncheng for support.
"The current situation is like this. After our extensive search, we have not found any strange animals within the five kilometers surrounding Yunze Lake.
Now it can be basically concluded that the space crack that appeared this time was just a false alarm."
"Should we repeat the search tomorrow, or expand the scope of the search?
After all, the space cracks are connected to the spirit world, and the alien beasts coming from there don't know what abilities they will have.
If the alien beasts can use some methods to hide themselves well, then the result will not be good for us..."
"That's right. I support repeating the search tomorrow, and then expanding the search scope further..."
"Agree."
"agree."
In the conference room, the investigators had a heated discussion, each put forward their own opinions, and finally everyone reached a consensus.
Tomorrow, everyone will conduct a search outside the location where the space crack appears, and expand the search range by five kilometers.
After the meeting, the director of the Yuncheng Superpower Management Bureau personally sent several investigators who came from other cities for support out of the Superpower Management Bureau, and then he returned to the office with his secretary.
"Director, it seems that this space crack incident is really just a false alarm!" The secretary said to his boss with a relaxed smile on his face.
Although at the meeting, everyone repeatedly emphasized that we should not take it lightly, and everyone agreed to continue to search the suspicious area again tomorrow and expand the scope of the search.
However, everyone who participated in today's search operation knows in their hearts that this space crack incident has come to an end.
"Yes! If we in Cloud City were to encounter a disaster like the attack by a strange beast like Neihe City, I am afraid that many citizens would be killed or injured.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, otherwise, the consequences would have been disastrous." Liu Benqi nodded to his secretary with a smile.
"Director, according to the oral accounts of some people on three ships full of tourists when the space rift appeared.
It is said that at the beginning, a huge pale golden hand ran out of the space crack, and it wanted to attack a ship full of tourists.
But a lady rushed forward and wrapped around the huge pale golden palm that ran out of the space crack, preventing it from attacking the tourist ship.
After that... another man flew into the air from another ship and flew towards the woman in the sky who was fighting with the huge pale golden palm.
I think that the thing that ran out of the space crack was stopped by the man and woman that the tourists said.
But after we rushed to the scene, we didn’t find a man or a woman who could stop the strange things that came out of the space cracks.”
The secretary put a document in his hand in front of Liu Benqi, and then told the general situation.
Liu Benqi picked up the file on the desktop and browsed it quickly. His originally relaxed expression gradually frowned as he browsed the contents of the file.
"Snapped."
After reading the document in his hand, Liu Benqi placed the document on the table. He thought for a few seconds and then spoke.
"Do you think the figure that Wang Qiujie saw running into the space crack could be one of those two people? Or, in other words, both of them entered the space crack. It's just a matter of order."
"..." Liu Benqi's secretary was stunned for a moment, and then a shocked expression appeared on his face, "Director, no way! Does anyone really dare to break into that unknown space crack?"
"Why do you think some people don't dare? As far as I know, there was a person who broke into the space rift not long ago."
"Director, the spiritual world area connected by the space rift is an unknown area. After entering, you have no idea what is going on on the other side.
Just like now, Wang Qiujie said that he saw the figure entering the space crack, and then the space crack disappeared.
If that figure is really from our Blue Star people, now that he has entered the space rift and is trapped in the spirit world, he may never have the chance to return to Blue Star in this life." Liu Benqi's secretary frowned and said.
"Yes! Everyone knows what you said, but what the tourists on the ship said, that man and woman may not have known that the space cracks would disappear so quickly.
Maybe they were just curious and wanted to go in and take a look, but now they are trapped there," Liu Benqi said.
"This... is indeed possible. If this is really the case, then... it would be a pity for those who entered the space crack." Liu Benqi's secretary thought of the practitioners on the Blue Star side who were trapped in the spiritual world.
, he felt very sorry.
"Yes! What a pity... To be able to take the initiative to block the huge pale golden hand that ran out of the space crack for those strange tourists, I guess they are also very powerful practitioners.
Such combat power is now trapped in the spirit world and unable to return to Blue Star. It is a regrettable loss for all of us humans!" Liu Benqi sighed and said with regret.
.
The two sides were silent for a while, and then Liu Benqi's secretary asked his boss curiously, "Director, you just said that a person broke into the space crack not long ago. Did that person come back safely in the end?"
"He's back. As far as I know, after he entered the space crack, he came back before the space crack disappeared." Liu Benqi said.
"That's it! Then he is very lucky. If the space crack disappears early, then he will be trapped in the spirit world.
Director, who is that person? Is he a colleague of our Superpower Management Bureau?" Liu Benqi's secretary asked curiously.
"He! You should have heard of his deeds." Liu Benqi said with a smile.
"Have I heard about his deeds?" Liu Benqi's secretary looked at his boss in confusion.
Seeing his subordinate looking at him with a puzzled look, Liu Benqi didn't give in and said with a smile, "That person's name is Lin Fei.
Not long ago, wasn't there a space rift in Rongcheng? Lin Fei lived in Rongcheng. He was notified at that time and rushed to support. Then he single-handedly entered the space rift, and finally fought his way out.
.”
"It turns out it's him! He's so strong that it's not surprising that he dared to break into the space crack alone." Liu Benqi's secretary didn't show any particularly surprised expression when he heard that the person who rushed into the space crack was Lin Fei.
.
Because he had heard of Lin Fei's deeds, it was not particularly surprising that a practitioner who could kill a mid-level fourth-level beast by himself would do such a thing.
"Okay, that's it for today! You go home and have a rest first, and you have to get up early tomorrow to continue the follow-up work!" Liu Benqi said to his secretary.
"Yes." Liu Benqi's secretary nodded, then turned and left. It is already past two o'clock in the morning and almost three o'clock in the morning. Tomorrow's plan will start at eight o'clock. If he goes home now, he can still rest for four to five hours.
After his secretary left the office, Liu Benqi came to the window of his office and looked out through the transparent glass, his eyes falling on the empty street.
At this time, there was almost no one on the road outside, except for the occasional night shift taxi passing by on the street.
"The strength of the third level peak is still not enough! When this incident calms down, I will apply to my superiors and try to apply for one to two months to practice in seclusion to see if I can break through to the early stage of the fourth level.
It would be great if we can successfully break through to the initial stage of the fourth stage. Otherwise, if a space crack incident like this happens again next time, I will still have to request support from my superiors and then trouble other cities to send people to reinforce."
As the head of the Yuncheng Superpower Management Bureau, Liu Benqi leads his subordinates to protect the more than 10 million residents of Yuncheng.
The first time he learned that a space crack had appeared in the area under his jurisdiction, he felt as if he was struck by a bolt from the blue, and then there seemed to be an extra hill on his shoulders, making him somewhat breathless.
.
He is not afraid of those strange beasts in the spiritual world that run out of the cracks in space. Even if he were asked to rush forward and fight those strange beasts until he died, he would not be afraid.
But he was afraid that the alien beasts that came out of the cracks in space would attack Yuncheng, cause huge damage to Yuncheng, and cause the death of many innocent citizens. This was what he was most afraid of and worried about.
"Breakthrough, I already feel the opportunity for a breakthrough. As long as my superiors approve my application, there should be a 70% chance that I can break through to the early stage of the fourth stage within one to two months."
Liu Benqi looked at the silent night outside the window, his thoughts racing rapidly, and at the same time, the spiritual energy in his body was running unconsciously and rapidly.
…………
What happened in Cloud City today quickly became the headlines of global news.
After all, it is extremely rare for a large city with a population of tens of millions to suddenly sound the alarm and then put the entire city under martial law during a holiday.
At the press conference of the local Superpower Management Bureau, the spokesperson told a group of reporters who came to Yuncheng what happened.
However, reporters who came to attend the press conference always felt that the spokesperson at the Yuncheng press conference did not tell the truth about the alien beast attack on the city.
The official announcement stated that when it was discovered that the alien beasts were about to attack Yuncheng, the local Supernatural Power Management Bureau made a prompt decision and immediately sounded the alarm.
Then, while arranging citizens to take refuge in air-raid shelters, investigators were dispatched to eliminate the strange beasts that were preparing to attack Cloud City.
