Because carrying two exhausted people across several kilometers would be extremely taxing on their physical strength, Lu Yuan's timely discovery of them allowed them to get adequate rest.

Where was the body discovered?

Lu Yuan asked impatiently, while the four team members pointed to the place behind them where the two team members had been found.

"There's a cave behind that mountain over there. That's where we found it! The rest of the team members are waiting over there. Mr. Lu, why don't you go take a look?"

Lu Yuan nodded immediately, then took out some food and water from his backpack and handed them to several team members.

"Give them something to eat first. Here are a few golden fruits. Let them recover their strength and rest well. Wait here, I'll be right back!"

Several team members nodded immediately, while Lu Yuan vanished from his spot in a flash.

When Lu Yuan appeared there the next second, he saw several team members still searching around the cave. They would occasionally find some things left by the exploration team members nearby, and the more they searched, the more they found.

Lu Yuan looked at the things they had put away and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"Great! Have you found anything else?"

Several team members shook their heads: "We only found those two people and these lost items. We haven't found the rest yet, and we're still searching in the vicinity!"

"Okay, search every inch of this place, don't overlook any clues. I'll call the rest of the team over right now!"

After saying that, Lu Yuan flashed towards the other teams again.

When all the team members were gathered here, the search immediately had a specific target. They began to search back and forth along the vicinity of the cave, while Lu Yuan returned to the desert and found the two exploration team members who had regained their senses.

After eating the golden fruit and some other food, they regained some strength and were now able to speak.

Lu Yuan grabbed someone impatiently and asked, "Where are Han Wen and Xi Wen?"

One of the men suddenly shed a tear, and then said in a choked voice, "Captain Han Wen is missing, Xi Wen jumped into that abyss and is now nowhere to be found! And another team member has died!"

Upon hearing his words, Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine, as there was still no trace of Han Wen and Xi Wen. Lu Yuan stood there, clenching his teeth, his eyes scanning his surroundings.

"Han Wenhe wants to know when they went missing and the specific circumstances at that time!"

So the two of them quickly recalled the scene and told Lu Yuan everything they knew.

After analyzing their descriptions, Lu Yuan also figured out some things: Xiwen had entered that distorted space half a month ago.

After that, there was no trace of them. In order to take care of the other team members who were exhausted, Han Wen would go out for several hours every day to look for food. However, this time it took even longer. A day and a night had passed, and there was still no clue of their return.

The lack of clues gave Lu Yuan an even bigger clue: given Han Wen's condition at the time, he must have run too far, so Han Wen must be nearby.

So he immediately faced the other team members who began to search quickly outside the cave, while Lu Yuan also released his mental energy and began to continuously examine the surroundings.

Finally, as the saying goes, heaven rewards those who persevere. Lu Yuan finally found Han Wen behind a sand dune. Han Wen had collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Her clothes were tattered, and she had several new wounds on her body.

Having not eaten for a long time, Han Wen was so hungry that her cheekbones bulged high, making her face look like a skull. Lu Yuan quickly stepped forward, picked her up, and then forced a golden fruit into her mouth.

Fortunately, Han Wen did not lose her ability to swallow. After drinking some water and eating a golden fruit, she finally woke up slowly. The moment she opened her eyes and saw Lu Yuan, two streams of hot tears flowed down her cheeks.

Lu Yuan held her quietly, letting her lean on his shoulder and cry for a while until she finally regained her strength.

Seeing Han Wen's miserable state, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow. After all, Han Wen had been with him for a very long time, and had helped him a lot when they were in District Nine.

Along the way, Han Wen had become one of Lu Yuan's better friends, and seeing him in such a wretched state filled Lu Yuan with sadness.

"Xiwen, Xiwen is gone! He went into that black hole! I can't find him! I'll never see him again!"

Han Wen lay in Lu Yuan's arms, tears streaming down her face. Lu Yuan gently patted her back, unsure how to comfort her.

After a long time, Han Wen actually fell asleep. Lu Yuan sighed, then gently hugged him and waved to the team members around him.

"Call everyone back. We should go back. We've found everyone, except one person who's dead. The rest of you go back, and we can investigate this place later!"

As if confirming what Qin Xiaohui and Lü Zhan had said earlier, a strong wind began to blow nearby, and the sand dunes in the distance were constantly moving.
