With time running out and the mission urgent, Mi Bao had already set up a spatial passage for Li Xiyue, which led directly to the mountain where Song Haoqiang had disappeared.

Li Xiyue walked out of the middle passage and stood in the forest. She used the search system to search for Song Haoqiang's location.

However, to her surprise, her search system seemed to have malfunctioned and could not find Song Haoqiang's location.

She said to Mi Bao, "That's strange, why can't we find his location?"

Mi Bao said, "I don't know either. Why is that? Wait a moment, I'll come and meet you after Li Xiulan and I finish our meal."

After Li Xiulan finishes breakfast, she helps the kitchen wash vegetables and cook. Then she gets busy with her own work and doesn't care where I go to play!

There was no other way; it had to stay with Li Xiulan. It could only run out to meet Li Xiyue when Li Xiulan was at work.

Li Xiyue said, "Okay, you eat with Li Xiulan first, I'll look for it in the woods!"

After she finished talking to Mi Bao, she walked alone in the woods.

The mountain forest area is quite large; it's practically impossible to find someone on foot...

Li Xiyue retrieved the electronic map of the entire mountain forest from the spatial map.

She studied the terrain on the electronic map, looking for places where people might be hiding.

After all, people can't live directly in the woods; they need to find shelter to settle down.

Therefore, if there is a cave, it is most likely where Song Haoqiang is hiding.

She kept zooming in on the electronic map, looking for places where caves might appear.

She eventually found a place, which was a very steep cliff with an open space in front of it.

There were no tall trees growing in this open space.

Based on Li Xiyue's experience, this place should be mostly rock with little soil, which is why there are no tall trees growing here. And there is a high probability that there are caves or similar structures on the rock walls.

She directly set up a spatial portal and used it to reach a large tree near the rock face.

She emerged from the exit of the spatial passage and stood directly on the branch of a large tree. Her X-ray vision peered at the rock wall from afar, and sure enough, she saw a cave in the rock wall!

She said to Mi Bao, "Haha! I found a cave! I bet a dollar there's someone inside!"

Mibao said, "If there are people inside the cave, it would be too dangerous. You can't go in alone!"

"Wait a minute, Li Xiulan and I are almost finished eating. I'll turn into a bird and fly in to check the situation. If there's anyone there, we'll call the police!"

Li Xiyue said, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. It's true that she's going in alone, while the other side is likely to be three men, and she's all by herself!

She sat on a big tree, took out a bag of spiced melon seeds from her spatial storage, and ate them while keeping an eye on the situation inside the cave.

After Mi Bao and Li Xiulan finished breakfast, as expected, Li Xiulan was busy clearing the table and washing the dishes, and didn't have time to pay attention to Mi Bao.

Mibao squatted down next to her grandma and said, "Grandma, I'm going to go play with the older boys!"

Li Xiulan nodded and said, "Okay, go find the boys to play with, but don't go into the woods, there are big bad wolves there!"

She tried to scare Honey in the same way she would a child, but there really were wolves in the woods!

Mibao nodded her little head and said obediently, "I understand, Grandma. I won't go into the woods. I'll go find the older boys!"

It waved goodbye to its grandma and skipped away!

Li Xiulan sat on a small stool, washing dishes without stopping. Her gaze was fixed on Mi Bao's back. It's so nice to have children. They don't know anything and can enjoy a carefree childhood.

But she's an adult, she knows everything, and her son is still nowhere to be found!

She sighed, her heart aching with worry as she wondered where her son was.

Fortunately, Commander Zhao from the military region took care of them, allowing them to stay in the military region's family dormitory compound. At least here, she had food to eat, clothes to wear, and someone to play with her grandson...

After running out of the cafeteria, Mibao went straight to a deserted place and immediately entered the spatial passage to meet up with Li Xiyue.

The exit of the spatial passage was also on the branch of that big tree. It ran out of the spatial passage and hugged Li Xiyue tightly.

"Yue'er, I'm here! I'm here! Did you miss me?!"

Li Xiyue hugged Mibao and said, "I missed you, I missed you! I missed you so much after just a short time apart!"

Mi Bao kissed Li Xiyue on the cheek, "Yue'er, I missed you too!"

Li Xiyue's heart was melting at the sight of Mi Bao. She patted Mi Bao's head and said, "We'll have to rely on you again this time. You'll transform into a little bird, a tiny one, and be careful not to attract the attention of the people in the cave!"

She knew that Honey loved to show off and had a penchant for pranks. She was afraid that if Honey flew inside and discovered there were people in the cave, she would start causing trouble.

Mibao said, "I understand, don't worry!"

It immediately donned the bird's skin, flapped its little wings, and flew toward the cave.

This time it transformed into a little swallow. The little swallow is also very small, so it is not easy to attract attention when it flies.

It flew into the cave in a flash, and when it flew deep into the cave, it immediately saw two people sitting inside.

The two people lay in the cave, groaning incessantly.

One person was in slightly better condition; his injuries were minor, but he was skin and bones, as thin as a monkey.

Another person's condition was slightly more serious; he had injuries to his arm and chest, and his upper body and arms were wrapped in thick gauze.

Mi Bao recognized the two people at a glance: one was Brother Hai, and the other was Skinny Monkey.

As expected, these two had already made contact with Song Haoqiang, so no matter how many people the army sent to imitate the cuckoo's call, it was useless; they wouldn't fall for it!

There was no sign of Song Haoqiang in the cave. Mi Bao flew around the cave twice but still couldn't find him.

It flew to the entrance of the cave and installed a pinhole camera there. Whenever Song Haoqiang appeared, the pinhole camera could capture his image.

It flew out of the cave to meet up with Li Xiyue. It stood on Li Xiyue's shoulder and said, "There really are people in the cave. Skinny Monkey and Brother Hai are in the cave. They are both injured."

Li Xiyue said, "I don't know where Chief Zhao, Skinny Monkey and Brother Hai, are hiding! As long as their people come, they can arrest these two!"

I don't believe these two people would keep their mouths shut and protect Song Haoqiang like that!

Mi Bao said, "I don't believe it either. These profit-driven people would definitely choose to betray Song Haoqiang to reduce their own sentences! But the problem is, how do we notify Chief Zhao? That's a problem!"
