Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Octopus, Killer Whale, Great White Shark...
Bai Qing: "Don't worry, we will never hurt you."
The bed was quite high, and when Ye Ning sat on the edge of the bed, her legs couldn't touch the ground.
"You betrayed Gaojiang District. It will be even harder for other orcs in Gaojiang District to advance."
Gaojiang District was already xenophobic, and Baiqing's actions would surely make it even more so. Her actions vividly demonstrated the saying, "Those who are not of my kind must be different in heart."
Ye Ning shook her legs and looked at Bai Qing again.
"Did you also abduct the other two pure humans who disappeared?"
Bai Qing immediately shook her head, "No, they were taken away by the rebels."
Ye Ning lowered her head. She no longer believed what Bai Qing said.
Bai Qing dared to tell her so directly, either he was continuing to lie to her, using the identity of a wandering orc to cover up his tracks, or he was certain that she couldn't leave them and run away.
If she were to kidnap someone, she would never tell the other person her true identity so directly.
Otherwise, if she ran back or was found, or even if Gaojiang District and Xisha District found out, they would definitely go to the Wandering Orc Alliance to settle the score.
It didn't really matter whether they were rebels, the Wandering Orc Alliance, or some other group, because the bottom line was, they deliberately created chaos and took her away.
They restrained themselves from hurting others, and the series of warm behaviors that followed seemed to her more like an attempt to win her favor.
If she was really just a child of a few years old, and was taken away by someone close to her, and they tried to gain her sympathy and dependence by crying and showing weakness, she might get used to it after a few years and think they were nice people.
Ye Ning expressed great loneliness and sadness at the right moment, "I still don't understand why you went to such great lengths to kidnap me."
"Is it because you want me to help you plant plants, or because you want me to help you save people?"
"If you had just told me directly, I would have definitely agreed to it."
Bai Qing's heart seemed to be suddenly clenched by a hand. She squatted down and looked at Ye Ning: "I know that although you are young, you are kind and smart."
Bai Qing still had sincerity and guilt towards her, but this sincerity and guilt were not enough to make her give up their plan. So she still kidnapped her.
Ye Ning looked into her eyes and said, "But Baiqing, I'm very sad now."
"If you want to take me away, then take me away. If you want to destroy my planting area, then destroy it."
"You know exactly how much effort and resources went into those plants."
"You could have come to me openly and honestly. Whether you needed seeds or seedlings, I could have provided them to you. You could have planted them yourself like Gaojiang District did. But you chose this method instead."
"What exactly is your purpose?"
The air seemed to stagnate in Bai Qing's chest. After a while, she explained with difficulty and paleness, "The plants outside were not damaged, and the fire in the planting room did not harm the plants either."
"I took you away not to force you to grow plants for us, nor to ask you to save people."
"Wandering orcs don't have fixed residences, so even though we haven't contacted you directly, we've already obtained your seeds from other channels and started planting them."
Ye Ning also felt that it shouldn't be for these two, but apart from these two, what else could it be for?
Bai Qing calmed down and looked at Ye Ning again, "You may know that the Wandering Orc Alliance also has a pure human."
Ye Ning searched her memory and quickly found the information of that pure human being.
"Is he the one who grew the mint that the teacher bought back at the auction?"
Bai Qing nodded.
"He is the only plant healer in the Wandering Orc Alliance."
"He was originally a plant therapist affiliated with the Capital District. Ten years ago, he left the Capital District and joined the Wandering Orc Alliance."
Ye Ning: "I don't think I've heard much news about him."
Bai Qing: "There aren't many rumors about him outside because the rebels have been sending people to hunt him down for the past ten years."
"Lord Huyue is seriously ill and cannot come to see you in person, but the situation is urgent and he doesn't have much time left, so he really hopes to see you."
Ye Ning had only heard some information about Hu Yue and knew that he was also a very outstanding plant therapist.
Since Bai Qing is their insider, they should have mastered the latest planting technology like Gaojiang District.
Ye Ning: "I don't know him, how could he have something important to tell me?"
Bai Qing: "Because you are the most talented plant therapist on Sea Dust Star. If anyone can save Sea Dust Star, it is only you who can do it."
"But I have only received this task. You will only know what he wants to say to you after you meet him."
"But I suspect this matter may be related to Dust Planet, and to purely human matters. Dust Planet has been plagued by frequent natural disasters and pollution surges in recent years. It seems all of this is related to something. But I don't know what it is exactly."
Is all this related to something? She knew that the pure human was probably only in his thirties or forties this year.
Yan Gang is also seriously ill, and this pure human is also seriously ill, and they are both very young. Is there any other connection between the two?
Bai Qing continued, "And we received news that the rebels will soon attack you, so we want to strike first."
Ye Ning looked at her: "How did the rebels know my whereabouts?"
Even He Yang didn't know what she looked like, and when she was in Xisha District, only Hou Yu knew her identity. Unless there was a second spy in the planting room.
Bai Qing said seriously, "The plants you've just planted can effectively purify new pollutants. This special effect will make it easy for the rebels to target the Xisha Islands."
But if Long Qi was there at that time, even if the rebels appeared, they would not be able to take her away.
But they had already kidnapped her, so there was no point in saying any of this.
Ye Ning looked at her expectantly: "So after we meet, will you send me back?"
Bai Qing nodded and said, "We will send you back immediately after we finish."
She looked at Ye Ning, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "We do have selfish motives. The outside world thinks this was done by the rebels. We want to take this opportunity to have the Federation vigorously eliminate the rebels."
"So this is your ultimate goal?" This is the only reasonable reason that Ye Ning thinks so far.
Once she disappeared, everyone would definitely think it was the rebels who did it.
Hou Sen told her that among the three major forces on the entire Dust Star, the Federation was gradually declining, while the power of the rebels and the Wandering Orc Alliance was growing.
Aside from the rebels, who are known for their petty tricks, the Wandering Orc Alliance has always been relatively neutral. They are organized by tribe and are solely focused on money.
However, when she took all the things Bai Qing said together, none of them attracted her.
And she is so good at growing plants, how could they really let her not grow plants after bringing her back?
Put a few more pitiful cubs in front of her and see if she will relent or not, save them or not. Once she relents and saves them, then continuing the planting process will be a natural progression. The whole process is like boiling a frog in warm water.
Ye Ning pushed the plate over and said, "I'm still very sad. I don't want to eat these. I want to eat stir-fried meat with mushrooms."
As she said that, she lay back down again, her back facing Bai Qing.
Bai Qing was stunned for a moment and silently put the plate back.
Ye Ning bought a moss seed, let it sprout in the palm of her hand, and then threw the plant care guide on it.
The model of the Dust Planet immediately displayed Moss's current location. She had actually left the Xisha area. If she hadn't left, how could she have slept peacefully in the house?
But here is...
【It is the East Star District.】
Ye Ning: "East Star District? What a coincidence, all the pure humans disappeared in the East Star District."
"I always feel that Bai Qing is lying to me. Maybe she is a rebel. We can see Yan Gang and the pure human who disappeared before."
The little mushroom was nervous. [Aren't you worried? ]
Ye Ning carefully observed her surroundings, but couldn't see anything inside. She released a very subtle supernatural power, extending it out along the doors and windows.
"I'm worried, but there's no point in worrying. I have to think of a way to see if I can find a chance to escape."
There was no way she would go back with Baiqing. If she did, she might never have the chance to come out again.
They were actually on the ground floor of a building.
The windows and ventilation ducts are very small, and several people are specially arranged to guard the door. There are also surveillance cameras in the room.
This was definitely not the destination, so Ye Ning directly opened the mall and started looking for suitable plants.
After looking for a long time, I decided that mushrooms were the most suitable.
She simply bought the spores of several poisonous mushrooms, ripened them with her supernatural powers, crushed them into powder, and put them into her sleeves and pockets.
These poisonous mushrooms certainly cannot endanger the lives of orcs, but they can still cause them to experience dizziness, stomachache, vomiting, hallucinations, etc.
In her private waters, Ye Ning directly purchased five high-quality fishing baits worth 1,000 gold coins at one time.
1,000 gold coins were indeed very valuable. She directly caught a giant octopus, a killer whale, a giant squid, a great white shark, and a giant squid.
The giant octopus was extremely huge, with blue-black skin and purple-blue ring-shaped spots on it. Its tentacles were about seven or eight meters long when spread out, and each tentacle was as thick as a python's body, covered with dense suction cups.
You know, octopuses can live for a long time out of water. And this octopus is poisonous.
These creatures were bigger than each other. Ye Ning originally thought that her private sea area would be packed with them.
As they appeared one after another, her private waters expanded directly to 1,000 square meters, just enough to accommodate them swimming freely.
If she had known that she could expand in this way, she would not have been so stingy with those few gold coins.

When the sky was slightly brighter, Long Qi, who had just resumed communication, finally saw the message in his bracelet. Only then did he know that Ye Ning had disappeared in the early morning.
Seeing that he had finally returned, Le Song rushed over and said, "Long Qi, Ye Ning is missing!"
"We finally tracked him to the border, and then we couldn't find him." Le Song's face was full of self-blame and regret, and he almost cried.
After they blocked the border and identified the area, they began to search frantically, but when they found him, they discovered that the other party had already silently crawled out of the tunnel they had dug in advance.
Long Qi had a gloomy face, and a terrifying cold aura emanated from his entire body. He was extremely cold.
He had just returned from the central area, his body covered in polluted blood. He casually took off his protective suit and threw it aside. "What now?"
"They should be in the East Star District now. After going out of that exit, they took a small aircraft and ran away directly, but that small aircraft can only go to the East Star District. Gu Yu has already rushed there with a group of people. I'm waiting for you here specially."
Long Qi rushed out without saying a word, and Le Song quickly followed behind him.
Hou Lin was also leading people in the investigation.
After the Xisha District activated its highest-level emergency plan, every street and store, and any available surveillance footage, was carefully reviewed frame by frame.
All the people and available soldiers were mobilized, and they carefully searched every street and every possible hiding place for clues.
Not only the Xisha District, but also the five nearby districts have all launched emergency plans of the same level and highest standards as the Xisha District.
The reason was simply because Gaojiang and Xisha Districts had offered so much. They had directly promised to provide high-quality seeds and seedlings for three years free of charge, as long as they could help find the person and bring him back safely. They would also teach them the most advanced planting techniques without reservation!
So, as soon as the news got out, several nearby districts all took action. In any case, it's always a good idea to establish a good relationship with a plant therapist!
The people in Xisha District also tried their best to provide useful clues to find Ye Ning.
Hou Lin looked at the information in front of him.
"Are you sure these are the people who came to buy it?"
"Yes, that's the five of them. They were big and burly, and their manners were particularly sloppy. They practically rushed in that day, drank a few bottles of mint water first, and then paid. They also bought a lot of things afterwards, so I was very impressed by them."
"I've seen this person before. He came to our place and bought a lot of things, so many bags and small bags that we couldn't even fit them all in. We had to teach him how to find a car to transport them out."
"These people always look like they've fled from somewhere, but they're also very generous."
"Captain Hou, we just discovered this!"
A group of people analyzed the video frame by frame and sound by sound.
Hou Lin frowned, "Aren't they speaking the common language of the Federation?"
An Ze explained, "Some wandering orcs use their tribe's language to facilitate internal communication. This language is very rare and most people may not have heard of it."
Hou Lin's eyelids twitched. "You mean, they might also be stray orcs?"
Bai Qing's identity is indeed consistent with the background of a wandering orc.
An Ze nodded. "Their modus operandi this time is indeed different from previous cases of purely human disappearances. But we can't rule out the possibility that they are deliberately concealing their presence."
It was troublesome enough to have just one rebel army, but now stray orcs were involved.
Hou Lin thought of Bai Qing and felt hatred again.
After receiving the news, Xilos took his men directly to the East Star District.
All the S-level marine orcs accompanying him also spread out after repeatedly familiarizing themselves with the photos of Ye Ning and Bai Qing.
His dark blue seaweed-like hair was tied up high behind his back. Even with a filter mask on, his extremely tall figure still attracted attention.
"Your Majesty, the East Star District Chief sent troops to conduct a city-wide search this morning, but even though they checked the district-wide surveillance, they found nothing suspicious."
Adults are good at hiding their whereabouts, but Ye Ning was still a cub, and it's rare to see someone holding a cub. But after a two-hour sweep of the Dongxing District and a frame-by-frame review of the surveillance footage, they still couldn't find her.
If people are not in the East Star District...
Xiluosi's eyebrows and eyes became even colder. "Keep investigating. If the East Star District can't find anything, let our people go in and help them investigate."
"yes."

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Qing brought over another serving of milk, eggs and meat.
"Without mushrooms, I can only stir-fry the meat like this."
Ye Ning nodded, wanting to eat, but then looked at Bai Qing, "Do we still need to travel today?"
Bai Qing nodded slightly.
Ye Ning hesitated, "If I eat this, will I pass out again?"
Ye Ning covered her head and said, "I feel dizzy. Will this drug make me stupid?"
"No, there's nothing here that can make you unconscious." Bai Qing squatted in front of her. "This is the East Star District. If you run around, you'll probably be caught by the rebels."
Ye Ning nodded. That was right. The thing that had knocked them unconscious before must have been the smell of blood on her body. If they really wanted to make her unconscious, there was no need to put it on the food.
"So when are we going to leave here today?"
Bai Qing: "After two hours, you can take a rest."
Two hours later, such an exact departure time should be the time when they left by aircraft.
I don’t know what the situation is outside. She must have been missing for half a day.
Ye Ning took a fork and cut the eggs and meat into small pieces before starting to eat.
Ye Ning stopped when about 1/3 of the portion was left.
She stirred it with a fork, sprinkled mushroom powder and mushroom spores into it, and said to Baiqing, "I want to drink mint water. Do you have mint seeds?"
"have."
Bai Qing immediately took out mint seeds and gave them to her.
Ye Ning took it and it quickly sprouted in her hand.
She threw a few mint leaves into the water and gave the rest to Baiqing, "Take this and drink it."
Bai Qing looked at the mint in her hand and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
Ye Ning's mood seemed a little too calm.
Ye Ning looked at her, "If I get angry, will you send me back?"
Bai Qing paused and shook his head.
Ye Ning looked at the mint water in front of her and said, "I'm still very sad, so I won't smile at you anymore."
The next second, Bai Qing's nose suddenly itched and she sneezed.
Although Ye Ning looked serious, she still had some baby fat on her face, which made her even more adorable when she spoke so seriously.
Bai Qing's heart softened, but she still said to Ye Ning, "I'm sorry."
Fresh food is very precious. They will definitely eat the remaining ones. And the mint has a lot of poisonous mushroom spores attached to it. The plants produced by the system are very effective, and I don’t know if it can have any effect.
When Bai Qing went out again, Ye Ning stood up and looked around.
Bai Qing must have done something to cause her chip to be blocked.
She didn't know where the shielding source was, but she could find a way to get the chip out.
For example, the toilet.
There is a sewer outlet in the toilet.
But when Ye Ning entered the bathroom, she found that her appearance had changed as well.
Her originally black hair turned golden yellow, and her facial features also changed very obviously, but at first glance, it was still her.
Ye Ning rubbed her face and didn't feel any discomfort, but she felt as if her facial features had changed.
Now was not the time to dwell on this, so she quickly squatted down, looked at the hole carefully, and then slowly released the vines that she had not released for a long time.
A very thin vine was tied firmly into a double cross knot on the chip to ensure that the chip would not be lost. Then Ye Ning inserted it into the sewer pipe.
She didn't know the distance between the signal shielding source and the source, but it would definitely be right to send it farther away.
The pipes were extremely complicated, and she would occasionally encounter some messy hair or fur. Fortunately, her vines were quite tough and could avoid and pass through those obstacles very well.
Ye Ning estimated the distance and it extended to about twenty meters before stopping.
Twenty meters is definitely enough, otherwise, there will be no signal if you get too close to them.
And she can't extend it too far. If she does, it will be troublesome to retract it later, and positioning errors are likely to occur.
Ye Ning squatted at the sewer entrance, calculating the time.
At the same time, the bracelets of Gu Yu, Long Qi and Xilos all showed the location that had disappeared!
Sure enough, it was in the East Star District! And right inside one of the encirclements they had been searching and narrowing down!
Almost the moment they saw the positioning point, they rushed in that direction.
“Bang, bang, bang—”
Suddenly there was a hurried knock on the door.
"Lord Ye Ning, we can leave early."
It was Bai Qing's voice. Ye Ning quickly retracted the vines as quickly as possible.
"Lord Ye Ning? Are you okay?" Bai Qing seemed to put his hand on the door handle, about to open the door.
"I'm in the bathroom, don't come in." Ye Ning replied immediately.
Bai Qing: "We need to get out of here now."
"Then you can't watch me go to the bathroom. Wait a moment, I'll be out soon."
Ye Ning rubbed her clothes, making a rustling sound, and then pressed the flush button on the toilet.
Just as she had retracted the vines and put the chip back in place, she opened the bathroom door.
"I'm leaving now—"
Before she could finish her words, she was picked up by Bai Qing, who was dressed neatly.
Bai Qing was moving incredibly fast, practically carrying her at full speed. There were also many orcs in protective suits and masks in front and behind them. A rough estimate put the number at around twenty, far exceeding the five she had seen in the early morning.
And it was only at this time that Ye Ning discovered that there were countless passages at the bottom that led to other places!
