Chapter 142 You Betrayed My Trust in You
Missing...
Mu Jiu frowned. The moment Fu Hengyuan said he wanted to go to the Flour Country, she felt something was wrong.
It's a lawless area with food, medical supplies and guns. It will be difficult to take it down before the end of the world.
Not to mention that after the end of the world, in such a harsh environment, the army's mobility will be significantly weakened.
The mountainous terrain where the enemy is located is very conducive to hiding, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"How long has he been missing?" Mu Jiu asked.
When I went to see Captain Fu yesterday morning, I didn't see any worry on his face. I guess this happened not long ago.
Duan Ran was a little surprised when he saw Mu Jiu's serious expression. He felt as if he was being questioned by his superior...
He hesitated for a few seconds, thinking that before Fu Hengyuan left, he was able to tell her about the mission with confidence, which showed that he trusted her.
So Duan Ran still spoke:
“This matter concerns the base commander and the entire Fu family, and is still in the confidentiality stage.
You must ensure that this information is not leaked, otherwise something serious may happen at the base."
Mu Jiu held up three fingers, "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell!"
Even as an outsider, she could get a rough idea of the power struggle within the base.
In short, undercurrents are surging and crises are lurking everywhere.
Even a family like the Fu family, which relies on strong contribution points to sit at the top, has the possibility of being overthrown.
After all, the Gu family is a lesson for us.
Ever since the father and son were killed by Mu Jiu, the Gu family, which was originally wealthy and powerful, seemed to have ceased operations and disappeared in an instant.
Similarly, if Fu Hengyuan, the only son of the Fu family, were to pass away, it would be a devastating blow to Director Fu Ji.
Then the entire base will be shaken by the base commander.
“A week ago, Fu Hengyuan personally led a team and tried to penetrate the heart of the largest gang.
After the end of the world, the gangs’ whereabouts are very secretive and difficult to find.
So he went in and asked Zhao Yue to bring people to support him outside.
The signal was extremely weak in the mountains, so we had originally agreed to contact each other every 6 hours to ensure safety.
But after yesterday noon, the regular contact suddenly stopped.
Up to now, 22 hours have passed.
Zhao Yue has already adopted emergency rescue mode, looking for people everywhere, but found nothing.
The base commander did not allow this matter to be made public.
And you are one of the very few people who know that he is carrying out this secret mission.
Now I have sent out three batches of trusted troops in succession to cooperate with the special forces to search the mountain secretly, but to no avail so far.
The mountainous terrain is complex and the area is too vast. My people couldn't even find the gang's lair.
Not even a trace of Fu Hengyuan was found, so the possibility that it was deliberately erased cannot be ruled out.
The longer this matter takes, the more trouble it will cause. Maybe Fu Hengyuan has already been killed...
If the military makes too much noise, it will arouse suspicion from the top brass at the base, which will be very tricky.
Miss Mu has a lot of ideas in this regard. Let’s see if she can come up with any good solutions.
It would be best to find Fu Hengyuan while minimizing the impact."
As Duan Ran spoke, the expression on his face never relaxed. Although he was exhausted, the pressure and tension made him dare not relax at all.
Fu Hengyuan's life was in danger, and he regretted not stopping him and not carrying out the task for him himself.
"Perhaps Commander Fu has gone deep inside the enemy and it is inconvenient to contact him?" Mu Jiu said.
"You mean, he's okay?"
“It’s possible. From what you just said, Commander Fu was acting with his special forces team.
I have seen how those people protected their boss.
They were willing to give their clothes and shoes to Commander Fu even at the risk of freezing themselves.
They didn't want Commander Fu to die more than anyone else.
So if something happens to him, the others will definitely try to save him and convey the message for help no matter what.
But you said that a large number of troops were sent to search the mountain, but no trace was found.
Then I think it is most likely that Commander Fu led his men deep into the gang.
Otherwise, with so many people, is it possible that we can't even contact one of them?" Mu Jiu analyzed seriously.
Duan Ran thought what she said made sense when he first heard it.
If they are missing, it is impossible for so many people to disappear at the same time. There will always be one or two people who can pass on the news.
Maybe they were just overthinking it.
"Commander Duan, do you still remember the storage location of the weapons warehouse in the forest in Brown Bear Country?" Mu Jiu asked.
Duan Ran frowned, "You mean, we can't find the location of the gang because the base is inside the mountain?"
Mu Jiu nodded, “Southern countries don’t see snow all year round, so I’m afraid they don’t even have many winter clothes.
In the face of extreme cold, living deep underground in the mountains can maintain a certain temperature.
Perhaps we can search the original forest again from this angle."
Duan Ran thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he immediately called in the soldier guarding outside the door.
Ask him to notify the radio department, relay Mu Jiu's words, and have people start searching for hidden buildings in the mountain.
"Thank you Miss Mu for your advice. Please keep this matter confidential and don't tell anyone about it."
Then Duan Ran looked at the fruits and vegetables that Mu Jiu sent, “It has to be Miss Mu who can grow such good fruits and vegetables in such a short time!
After Fu Hengyuan returns safely, I will host a party and invite him and Miss Mu to my home.
I will cook it myself and make sure that I live up to the fresh fruits and vegetables that Miss Mu sent me!"
"Okay, I'll definitely go!"
Seeing the fatigue in Duan Ran's eyes, Mu Jiu didn't want to disturb him too much and left the military camp.
On the way back, Mu Jiu was a little absent-minded.
Although Fu Hengyuan's strength is there, he is facing a group of extremely vicious creatures.
He has been missing for 22 hours, it is hard to say whether he is okay or not.
Even if their lives were not in danger, their condition must not be very good, otherwise why would they have collectively cut off contact?
The words she just said to Duan Ran were actually just said casually to comfort him.
At this point, even the military has no better solution.
After all, the northern part of the Flour Country has such a vast mountainous and forested area.
In order to protect Fu Hengyuan's life, they dared not alert the enemy. However, it was really difficult for ordinary people to find someone without anyone noticing.
But looking at Duan Ran's appearance today, she thought that the consequences of Fu Hengyuan's accident might be more serious than she expected.
It was not easy to meet such a good base leader and future successor, and Mu Jiu was secretly reluctant to see anything happen to them.
Among the second generation who went north together, Mu Jiu didn’t see many reliable people.
As the saying goes, like father, like son, so for Mu Jiu, this generation is not worthy of trust.
If the base commander changes to someone like Deputy Base Commander Xue who looks down on others, or someone like Deputy Base Commander Gu who is deeply selfish, Mu Jiu would be absolutely unwilling to do so.
In that case, even if she takes control of the farm, her life in the base will not be easy.
After all, humans are social animals. From the beginning to the end, Mu Jiu never thought about leaving the crowd and living alone until old age.
So to some extent, saving Fu Hengyuan's life means preserving the healthy development of the current base.
Things that I was not able to do in my previous life, I am clearly more than capable of doing in this life.
For things like secretly searching for people, her space teleportation mirror is the most suitable.
However, this matter cannot be made public.
To do or not to do it is just a matter of Mu Jiu’s thoughts.
After returning to the farm, Mu Jiu called Gu Yang, Gu Nuan and Lou Nan to hold an internal meeting in Mu Jiu's office on the third floor.
"I have some personal matters to attend to recently, so I have to go out for a while.
It won't be too long. The farm will be handed over to you three to manage for a while.
Well, Gu Yang is the main one, and Lou Nan and Gu Nuan assist him. No one other than the farm employees is allowed to enter.
If there is anything going on above, please wait until I come back to discuss it. If it cannot be resolved, Gu Yang will go to the military region to find Commander Duan.
The first wave of harvest on the farm has been completed. Starting tomorrow, we can give everyone a few days off to rest.
A week later, we start sowing the next season’s fruits and vegetables.”
After instructing everyone on the specific matters that needed attention, Mu Jiu asked everyone to disperse, but Gu Yang did not leave.
"Is there anything else?" Mu Jiu asked.
"Where are you going, sister? It's not safe outside right now. Are you going to help the base do something secret again?" he asked worriedly.
"It's my private matter and I can't talk about it." Mu Jiu looked at him, hesitant to speak, knowing that he was worried about her.
"I..." He wanted to stay by his sister's side. Even if he could only help in a small way, he didn't want to do nothing.
"The base may be a little unstable in the near future, so you can help me take care of the farm, which will be a great help to me.
You also know that it is not easy to get the products back from the farm. Many people are watching it. Now that such a large amount of finished fruits and vegetables has been handed over, it makes people even more jealous.
Keep a close eye on everything, don't let anyone take advantage of you, and don't betray my trust in you!" Mu Jiu looked at Gu Yang and said seriously.
Suddenly being entrusted with such a serious task by Mu Jiu, Gu Yang felt that there was a deeper meaning in his sister's words, and the burden on his shoulders instantly became a thousand pounds heavier.
"I will definitely help my sister protect the farm and never let anyone take any action against it!"
After arranging farm affairs that night, Mu Jiu left the base.
She drove away from the base to avoid suspicion. When she was far away from the base, Mu Jiu put the G-Class into the space and replaced it with a helicopter.
While Fu Hengyuan was teaching her how to fly a military helicopter, Mu Jiu also carefully studied other aircraft in space and test-flew them one by one, and basically had no problems.
Then a wartime helicopter with the emblem of the Brown Bear Country disappeared into the darkness and flew towards the south.
