Chapter 487 Still Not Back
"Don't worry, I'll be extremely careful when I make contact with Chief Lunn!"
As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, she saw Han Shuo stand up and quickly asked.
"You little brat...are you leaving already?"
His tone was filled with reluctance...
...
"Um."
Han Shuo nodded, unsure of what to say to comfort him.
He was never really used to farewell scenes like this.
After much deliberation, he finally uttered a sentence.
"Brother, take care of yourself... Also, please give my regards to Sister-in-law Yu Qing, Brother Deliang, and Dr. Lin."
After saying this, he smiled slightly at Qingyu, then turned and walked towards the window.
Qingyu's body trembled slightly, and he quickly shouted from behind.
"Aren't you going to meet with them?"
"They're gone! They've left!"
Han Shuo waved his hand without turning his head, preparing to leave.
As he opened the window, he stopped, uttered a few words, and then leaped out of the window, disappearing into the night.
"Brother, don't worry, we're all doing well, and Xiao Zhao is doing just as well..."
...
Sigh~
Qingyu looked in the direction Han Shuo had left and sighed sadly.
"This brat has grown up so much without me even realizing it. Every time we meet, he brings me unexpected joy..."
He slumped on the bed for a while before he could calm himself down.
Then, his reluctant gaze gradually turned serious.
Stopping thinking about it, he turned and quickly walked out of his room.
That evening, he called Yu Qing and her group for an emergency meeting, which lasted until late at night. After the meeting, everyone prepared to change their course the next morning.
They definitely need to go to that big stadium where Len is...
...
Han Shuo, during his conversation with Qing Yu tonight, did not mention anything about the silver-haired man and the others.
He only told his older brother that the rest of their team were currently stationed in a very safe place.
Of course, he didn't intend to hide it from Qingyu; it's just that the secret of the silver-haired group being cyborgs had never been made public.
Han Shuo greatly respects the privacy of the elderly...
He also understood why the silver-haired man didn't want to reveal his companions' identities to the public.
After all, in most people's minds, cyborgs are created by humans and should therefore serve humans.
Once this barrier is completely broken, the silver-haired people will inevitably be met with strange looks when they are exposed to the world.
It's not their fault, but some identities, once revealed, are destined to be discriminated against by others... They may not say it aloud, but deep down they definitely have similar thoughts...
...
And so, the night passed quickly.
The next day, Han Shuo stood on the roof of a tall building, watching Qing Yu and his group leave in the distance before turning back to his truck.
"well--"
He sighed, stopped thinking about it, calmed himself down, and started his drive back.
...
On the way, he opened a pack of cigarettes, listened to some music playing in the car, and took out a lighter to light one.
"Phew~"
He exhaled a cloud of smoke and tasted the cigarette again, feeling a deep sense of nostalgia.
"Cough, cough."
However, after such a long time without smoking, Han Shuo coughed lightly twice, feeling a little uncomfortable.
His head was spinning a little, and it wasn't until half a cigarette had burned out that he gradually regained that familiar feeling.
...
On the way back, Han Shuo thought about it and intentionally slowed down the truck.
On my way here, I hunted down a few alien species, and now I have collected 8 drops of turbid liquid.
At this time, there were still two barrels of spare fuel in the vehicle, and the food was also plentiful.
He planned to hunt down some more alien species before returning, to collect 16 drops of turbid liquid.
In this way, Xiao Zhao can continue to complete the next evolution.
And so, Han Shuo continued his journey, stopping and starting, and with some bad luck, it took him three days to collect the final eight drops of turbid liquid.
Then, without wasting any more time, he sped up and headed straight back to the location of the Silver Hair Base.
Finally, a day and a half later, he arrived at the base safely.
In total, he stayed away from home for 10 days on this trip.
...
"I'm exhausted, but I'm finally back."
Looking at the familiar mountain wall, Han Shuo smiled.
However, the entrance tunnel did not open in time this time. He quickly realized that he had changed vehicles midway and needed to verify his identity again.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, a drone descended from the sky and scanned Han Shuo's face. Only then did the stone walls on both sides in front of him slowly open.
"Time to go home!"
Han Shuo shouted excitedly and drove into the tunnel.
...
As soon as he parked the truck on the side of the valley and opened the door, the fat man and his group ran out of the base gate.
Han Shuo stretched with a smile, ready to greet everyone and share his joy of the trip, when the fat man looked anxious. The next sentence made his expression change drastically!
"Han Shuo, you're finally back! Yao Nan and the others haven't returned yet!"
"What!!"
Han Shuo's expression instantly turned serious. He quickly put his own matters aside and asked.
"How long have they been gone? Have they not returned at all while I was gone?"
Li Shurou also came up, thought for a moment, and said with a frown.
"Hmm, they haven't come back yet. Judging by the time, Brother Yao Nan and the others have been gone for more than half a month!"
"So long? How much food did they take last time?" Han Shuo pressed on.
“Not a lot. There are a lot of them. If they ate normally, they should have run out in the last two days!” Li Shurou replied quickly.
As soon as the words were spoken, Han Shuo's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh no, could something have gone wrong?!"
Although he didn't want to think that way, the feeling of unease in his heart was still extremely strong.
...
He then forced himself to calm down, gave some instructions, and temporarily dispersed the crowd.
"Everyone, don't worry. Yao Nan and his team are quite strong, and they've been surviving in the wild for so long, so there shouldn't be any major accidents. They might have been delayed on the way due to some special reasons."
"Well then, it's getting late today, and it'll be dark soon. Everyone should get some rest for the night, and we'll go out to look for Brother Yao Nan and the others tomorrow morning!"
"good!"
Fatty and the others all showed worried expressions, but they also knew that they couldn't be too hasty. They could only follow Han Shuo's instructions and return to the base.
That night, everyone tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Although Cheng Shenghong and his group were friends they made along the way, the two groups had lived together for so long and experienced so many things together that they had already established a deep friendship.
No one wanted anything to happen to Cheng Shenghong's team...
