After returning, they resumed their search.

As the orange-red sunset shone on the ground, Cheng Zhi, covered in sweat, sat silently on a stone bench by the street.

There's been no news all day, which is really not a good thing. The longer it goes on, the less likely it is to be found. She doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

She kicked away the pebbles at her feet and felt the air become stuffy.

Huang Yiyi put away the electric bike, walked over and squatted down next to her. "If you can't find her in one day, search for two days. If you can't find her in two days, search for three days. To put it bluntly, we need to find her alive or dead. There has to be some result."

Cheng Zhi nodded, "We definitely have to look for it. Let's rest for a while and then continue the search."

After a short rest, two of them from 806 collapsed: Chen Siyu fell into a coma with a fever, and Zheng Wan collapsed due to mental confusion.

Seeing Chen's parents already in tears, they dared not carry Chen Siyu back, for fear of frightening the parents.

So they took the two of them to Zheng Wan's family's tent. Only her uncle, aunt, and fourth sister were inside; everyone else had gone out to help.

After explaining the situation, Fourth Sister readily agreed to take care of her, saying, "Zheng Wan is just tired, let her sleep. You can leave Si Yu to us without worry."

Both locals fell ill, and the three women from Yangzhou pinned all their hopes on Liu Liu.

Xiao Feiran looked at Liu Liu with some distrust, "Are you really sure you know the way? Can you really bring us back?"

Liu Liu blinked its round little eyes and looked at Xiao Feiran very seriously.

While looking at the map, Huang Yiyi confidently declared, "I've got it. I'll definitely bring you back!"

After she finished speaking, the two people next to her both turned to look at her.

Three seconds later, Xiao Feiran smiled and patted Liu Liu's head twice, "Liu Liu, you can do it!"

Huang Yiyi: "..." You'd rather believe a dog than me!

Now was not the time for fighting; they only said a few words and then moved on.

Searching like this isn't going to solve anything. Cheng Zhi took Xiao Zhi out of her spatial storage, held it in her hands, and asked, "Xiao Zhi, do you have a function to find people? We've lost a little girl and want to find her right away."

Ash, who was being held in someone's arms, immediately replied, "Yes, as long as you provide me with just a little bit of the other person's DNA, I can start searching right away."

Before Cheng Zhi could even feel happy, she immediately cooled down when she heard that DNA was needed. Where were they supposed to find such a thing?

Xiao Feiran felt a bit of a headache. "Xiao Zhi, is DNA the only thing that can be used to find people? We don't have any of those things. We only have one doll that she played with. Why don't you do a search yourself and see if there's anything similar that can be used as a substitute?"

Ash paused a little longer this time, and said very seriously, "Ash also has a fortune-telling function, and it's very accurate. It can also be considered a function to find people. Master, would you like to try it?"

The trio: "..."

It's hard to say whether it's sophisticated or not, as it's used for fortune telling and finding people; yet it's also a high-tech product.

Regardless of the method, as long as it works, that's fine. Cheng Zhi immediately handed the doll to Xiao Zhi.

Just like the real thing, Ash touched the unicorn doll all over with his two little paws, and then slowly said, "In the place where the sun sets, I saw five rolling hills, a dried-up lake, and lots of shrubs and trees. Children were huddled together, they were very tired, but they still wouldn't stop."

After hearing Xiao Zhi's words, Cheng Zhi felt that things were very bad, so she quickly picked up the map and looked to the west. Sure enough, there were a lot of parks there.

There was no time to care whether Xiao Zhi's divination was right or wrong. In any case, they couldn't think of any more likely places. They immediately got into the car and headed west.

They were in a real hurry. Huang Yiyi and Xiao Feiran were pedaling frantically, almost sending sparks flying from their bicycles.

As the last rays of the setting sun dipped below the horizon, they turned on their lights and loudspeakers and continued on their way under the cover of night.

They finally arrived at Wuling Mountain Park, only to find that the park gate had already collapsed. They quickly went inside.

Sitting in the back seat, Cheng Zhi was worried that the loudspeaker would drown out her younger sister's response, so she turned it off and stood up to call out, "Chen Zhiyu! Little sister! Chen Siyu's sister!"

They got off the bus and called out repeatedly, searching everywhere with flashlights.

It's completely dark now, and there's nothing to light the way except for the moon on the horizon and the lamp in my hand.

Cheng Zhi, who was walking at the front, did not miss any bushes or the backs of any trees. She did not see any people, but she saw the dried-up lake ahead.

She became even more certain that Chen Zhiyu was here, so Cheng Zhi crossed the bridge to look for him on the other side.

In the darkness, there wasn't even the sound of insects chirping; the silence made Cheng Zhi uneasy.

She shone her flashlight around, looking at everyone as she spoke, "Zhiyu, please don't hide from your sister, okay? I'm Cheng Zhi, your sister's roommate. We've met before, and we often greet you during video calls. We even brought you your favorite unicorn. Please come out, we'll take you home to meet your parents and sister..."

Huang Yiyi, on the other side of the bridge, saw Cheng Zhi talking to thin air. "Is little sister really here? How can Cheng Zhi be so sure?"

Standing by the bridge, Xiao Feiran recalled Xiao Zhi's words, "The place where the sun sets, five continuous hills, it really fits, I also feel that my little sister is here."

After speaking for a long time without receiving a response, Cheng Zhi stopped to catch her breath and continued speaking, turning back to signal the two of them to keep searching.
