The next day, in the quiet city, the dim streets slowly lit up.
Inside the apartment, light slowly filtered through the window, illuminating the room. Several figures lay sprawled on the sofa, eyes closed, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
As the sound of Ye Qingning quietly coming down the stairs was heard, several people slowly woke up and sat up.
Looking at the quiet living room, several people sat on the sofa, relaxing their drowsiness.
It seems that Xiao Yuezhu didn’t come back all night... Where did she go?
After a quick tidy-up in the living room, they all recovered and gathered to discuss the matter. It was indeed getting a bit frustrating to wait any longer.
"Just go ask that person..."
Zhang Chu pondered for a moment, looked at the people around the sofa, and said in a deep voice.
"who?"
Yang Yu looked at Zhang Chu's thoughtful expression and asked with some confusion.
"commander……"
Zhang Chu said this, then stood up and stretched his neck.
I had originally planned to ask Xiao Yuezhu, thinking that would clear things up. However, since she hadn't returned all night, I had no choice but to ask the commander first.
This matter concerns Ayun. Her reconnaissance ability has made great contributions to the base, so I think she will not sit idly by.
Ye Qingning heard Zhang Chu's idea and proposed to follow them. Because this matter was also related to Xiao Yuezhu, she was a little worried.
Zhang Chu thought about it and did not refuse.
Afterwards, Ye Qingning said a few words to Wang Keyin and Gugu, and asked them to stay at home obediently.
So, a few people packed up the house and left the apartment with Shangguan Yuner and Mengmeng.
Several people searched along the streets and came to the command compound again.
Because of the special nature of the commander's position, his residence was arranged in the command compound. After successfully passing through the gate, Zhang Chu and his companions arrived in front of the command building.
The soldiers standing guard at the door looked nervously at Xiaobai and the others behind Zhang Chu. However, Zhang Chu immediately stepped forward and started negotiating with them.
Under Zhang Chu's repeated assurances, even though the soldiers were a little worried, they had to let a few people in. They knew the situation of the White Spider, and if they really wanted to kill them, they would not come to negotiate with them.
After entering the building, you can see busy office workers walking back and forth in the corridor.
When they saw Xiaobai and the others behind Zhang Chu, they were all startled, but then they forced themselves to calm down. Without saying anything, they quickly left to do their own things.
"Wait for me here first..."
Zhang Chu led several people to a conference room and asked them to wait there while he went to find the commander to find out the truth.
After all, he is the head of a large base. Bringing a group of people to look for him would be a bit abrupt, and it might even cause misunderstandings.
As Zhang Chu slowly went upstairs, the space on this floor was obviously much more spacious, with only three doors.
Two soldiers were guarding the middle door, watching Zhang Chu going upstairs, and one of the soldiers stepped forward to negotiate.
After hearing the sound in the corridor, the doors on both sides opened and a man and a woman walked out.
"Lao Zhang, what's going on?"
When one of the men saw Zhang Chu, he stepped forward and greeted him familiarly, and called back the soldiers around him.
These two were Evolvers accompanying the Commander, responsible for protecting him. Zhang Chu knew them, so he approached and negotiated with them.
After hearing that Zhang Chu had something to report to the commander, he asked a few simple questions and then asked the soldiers to inform him.
"Come in."
A somewhat old voice came from inside the house, and then the soldier opened the door and Zhang Chu walked in slowly.
The office is spacious and bright, filled with a serious and solemn atmosphere. The layout of the room is simple and elegant, and the desks and chairs are neatly arranged, reflecting the old man's rigor and efficiency.
Military maps and strategic plans are hung on the wall. In a corner of the office, the commander's military uniform and medals are placed, which bear witness to his outstanding military achievements and glorious journey.
The entire office exudes an air of majesty and power that fills people with awe.
The white-haired old man was wearing glasses and sitting at the table looking through the documents in his hands. When he saw the person coming into the room, he slowly looked up.
"Sit down, what's going on?"
The white-haired old man gestured to Zhang Chu to sit down with his eyes. His tone was old but steady and powerful, and he then looked through the documents in his hand.
Zhang Chu was aware of the commander's efficient military style, so he didn't elaborate and sat down directly opposite the old man.
"Commander, there is something I need to report to you..."
Zhang Chu sat on the stool in front of the desk, thought for a moment, and then reported the situation to the commander with a serious face.
Zhang Chu kept talking in the office, and the old man was quietly looking through the documents in his hands.
When he heard the news that Shangguan Yun'er was controlled by the golden light, the old man slowly stopped what he was doing, raised his head with a serious expression, and continued to listen to Zhang Chu's report.
"You mean, the source of that golden light is a light tree? And it was eradicated by the white spider?"
The old man frowned and confirmed with Zhang Chu in a deep voice. Seeing the other party nod in confirmation, the old man lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment.
"Commander, Yuezhu didn't come back yesterday. What do you think about this..." Zhang Chu asked, looking at the thoughtful old man. But the old man just nodded slightly, obviously knowing that Xiao Yuezhu had left the city.
Seeing this, Zhang Chu didn't ask any further questions. He had already said everything he needed to say. Since the commander wanted to keep Xiao Yuezhu's story secret, there must be some hidden story behind it.
What they need right now is a solution, so there is no need to ask any more questions.
"I don't know where Yuezhu went, but I did hear her talk about the solution..."
The white-haired old man looked at Zhang Chu, who looked a little expectant, and spoke slowly. He reached out and picked up a photo frame on the table. Looking at the photo on it, the old man's hard face softened, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.
On it was a photo of the white-haired old man and Xiao Yuezhu. The old man in the photo was wearing a military uniform, and next to him stood a young girl in a black dress, holding the old man's arm. The two of them were standing in front of the railing by the lake.
The picture is bright, with several lotus flowers blooming quietly on the lake behind them, and soft sunlight shining on the two of them.
The girl in the picture had smooth black hair that fluttered gently in the breeze. The hem of her skirt swayed with her movements. Her lively eyes narrowed slightly, and her smile was as bright and radiant as the sun...
"I don't know what the boss asked..."
In the conference room downstairs, several people stayed inside quietly waiting for news from Zhang Chu.
As footsteps were heard outside the door, the door of the conference room was opened and several people looked in the direction of the sound.
The young man slowly entered the conference room. It was Zhang Chu, whom Yang Yu had just been talking about.
At this time, his steps were a little hurried, and his face was vaguely excited, but his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.
"There's a solution..."
