After a moment of silence, Liusu slowly placed the black pistol in her hand on the coffee table, placing the two guns together.

“Patta…Patta…”

Two bean-sized tears fell down and hit the gun, splashing star-like particles.

Then, a few more tears fell, but Liusu ignored her falling tears and just sat there blankly.

"Liusu!" Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but rush forward and hugged Liusu, resting her head on his chest: "Chen Cheng will be alive, he will definitely come back safely, you have to believe in Chen Cheng..."

"...When my father died...you all said the same thing..." Burying her face in Liu Xiaobao's arms, Liu Su suppressed her sobs and said hoarsely, "But he hasn't come back yet..."

“…”

Liu Xiaobao clearly felt that her chest was soaked with Liusu's tears. She fell silent and silently reached out to gently pat Liusu's back.

"Chen Cheng wants to go home... He's been thinking about going home since the day he came to the Western Region... He wants to celebrate New Year's Eve with Sister Huihui and the others..." Liusu's delicate body couldn't stop trembling: "I want to go home too... I want to go home with Shen Cheng... We clearly agreed to take a family photo together..."

"Wow! Little brother!" Feicui couldn't help but burst into tears and threw herself into Dr. Xiaoliang's arms.

Dr. Xiaoliang lowered her face and gently stroked Feicui's back. She was only thinking about the news from the rescue team coming over as soon as possible.

The clues about the dragon were no longer important to them at this moment. They only wanted to know the news about Shen Cheng.

When the news of Shen Cheng falling off the cliff reached the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences, the atmosphere inside the institute was also depressing.

At this time, Yu Lan was sitting in her office. Her long, silky chestnut hair was a mess, and her eyes were faintly bloodshot as she stared at the screen of her mobile phone.

Every few minutes, she would ask about Shen Cheng's situation.

The rescue team has arrived at the bottom of the Mianlong Cliff. According to their report, the area below the Mianlong Cliff is completely barren, with no grass growing, and the temperature is extremely cold.

As for Shen Cheng's information... there was none at all. Not to mention the corpse, not even the shadow of a person could be seen.

If it weren't for me...

Putting down the phone, Yu Lan grabbed her hair with a painful look on her face.

"We had already decided not to let you go to the Western Territory. If I hadn't approached you privately, you wouldn't have... It's all my fault..."

Yan Jinfang stood at the door of Yu Lan's office and stopped the senior executives of the Institute of Biological Sciences. "Everyone, calm down. It's still unknown whether Shen Diao is alive or dead. Please wait for news from the rescue team."

"Dr. Yan, you should be very clear that given Officer Shen's physical condition at the time, the chances of surviving after falling off the Sleeping Dragon Cliff were extremely slim!" A senior executive of the Institute of Biological Sciences rushed forward and grabbed Yan Jinfang's collar, but quickly let go.

Although Yan Jinfang is not even the vice president of the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences, his prestige is on par with that of the president, and the scientific researchers of the Institute of Basic Biological Sciences respect him very much.

"Then what's the point of you looking for Lan Lan? If Yu Lan hadn't asked Director Shen to assist in the mission, I'm afraid Director Shao and the others would have ended up with no one surviving when facing the Awakeners!" Yan Jinfang still stood there stubbornly, not letting anyone get close to Yu Lan.

When Yan Jinfang heard the news that Shen Cheng fell off the cliff, his head buzzed, and his student Li Ji became autistic on the spot.

By the time Yan Jinfang realized what was happening, he felt something was wrong. He rolled and crawled all the way and finally arrived at the door of Yu Lan's office before this group of people.

"Indeed, from this point of view, if Yu Lan hadn't asked Shen Diao to assist in the mission, I'm afraid our Institute of Biological Sciences would have lost five special agents in one go, but..."

A senior executive took two deep breaths and said to Yan Jinfang, "Doctor Yan, you can't be unaware of how important Officer Shen is to us, right? Moreover, before he fell off the cliff, he single-handedly killed an Awakener!"

"Don't worry, Dr. Yan, we are just going in to talk to Yu Lan. Yu Lan has reduced the losses of the Institute of Biological Sciences to a certain extent anyway. We won't make things too difficult for her. We shouldn't be emotional about such things." Another senior executive said to Yan Jinfang with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinfang clasped his hands together in front of everyone, his tone pleading: "In any case, let's wait for the exact information from Shen Diaoyuan before discussing this matter. The news of Shen Diaoyuan's fall from the cliff has already been a huge blow to Lan Lan."

Looking at Yan Jinfang's appearance at this moment, everyone was silent for a while, then they sighed, shook their heads, and turned away.

After watching the old guys leave, Yan Jinfang sighed and turned to look at the door of Yu Lan's office.

After this incident, the top leaders of China went straight to confront Hongguo.

The representative of Hongguo was completely stunned when he received the call.

What? An awakened person appeared in my Rainbow Country?

What? I, the awakened one from Hong Country, went to China?

What? My Rainbow Country Awakeners attacked the Chinese Special Agents?

What? My Hongguo special agent was shot dead in China?

Because Huaguo deliberately concealed Shen Cheng's strength, it announced to Hongguo that Ishinumasai was killed.

You should know that awakened people need to be registered in every country, and if they go abroad, they must report to the country they are visiting.

For people like Ishinumasai, Hongguo has to bear the blame.

After the incident with biological weapons, Hongguo was already unable to hold its head up in front of China. Every time the representatives of Hongguo saw the representatives of China, they would lower their heads and take a detour. Now this incident has made the situation even worse for Hongguo.

…

Mio City, Guangdian Cat Cafe.

After get off work, the girls gathered happily on the sofa, waiting for Xue'er to make a video call to Shen Cheng.

Chatting with Shen Cheng after get off work every night has become one of the things they look forward to most every day.

After laughing and joking for a while, Xue'er finally made a video call to Chen Cheng. The laughing girls immediately fell silent and looked at the computer screen with anticipation.

Ye Xi stood behind the sofa with his arms folded, looking at the dialing interface on the computer screen with a frown on his face.

Not long after Shen Cheng used her feather for the first time, he used it a second time, and then she found that her connection with her feather was broken...

Using her ability twice in a short period of time, and losing contact soon after, made Ye Xi's heart sink slightly. She vaguely guessed that Shen Cheng was probably facing a very difficult situation.

The call took a long time and the final result was that no one answered.

Xueer made a few more calls, but the result was the same.

The smiles on the girls' faces gradually froze, and Ye Xi's heart sank to the bottom.
