Wang Tiefeng continued to explain in a low voice, "His daughter is an evolved being. Half a year ago, she volunteered to participate in that mission to explore the dense fog area... and then she never came back."
"Everyone thought she was dead, but he didn't believe it. He always felt that his daughter was still alive, just trapped. He would go crazy whenever this was mentioned."
Although Wang Tiefeng lowered his voice, Chen Fengzi still seemed to hear the words "his daughter" and "dead".
He turned around abruptly, his eyes bloodshot, and roared at Wang Tiefeng, "You're lying! My daughter isn't dead! She's definitely not dead! She's just lost! She'll come back! Get out! All of you, get out!"
He brandished the wrench, losing control of his emotions.
Jiang Wu's lips twitched.
How could Wang Tiefeng say that his daughter was dead in front of others?
She has even less emotional intelligence than I do.
Jiang Wu stepped forward, blocking Wang Tiefeng. He didn't try to reason with him, but spoke to Chen Fengzi in a firm and empathetic tone: "Engineer Chen, I understand! How can you say someone is dead without seeing the final result? I trust your intuition as a father!"
These words had a magical power, instantly calming the enraged Chen Fengzi down.
He stared blankly at Jiang Wu, as if grasping at the last straw: "You...you think so too??!"
Looking at Engineer Chen, whose face was suddenly full of hope, Jiang Wu suddenly felt sorry for him.
With a sigh in his heart, Jiang Wu calmly said, "As long as we haven't seen the body, there is still hope. Besides, your daughter is an evolved being, which gives her a much better survival ability than ordinary people."
After saying that, he looked at Wang Tiefeng and asked, "Colonel Wang, what exactly is the situation inside that foggy area?"
The question was clearly directed at Wang Tiefeng, but after hearing it, Chen Fengzi's eyes glazed over again, and he clutched his head in anguish: "I don't know... I don't know... They said they're all dead, they've gone mad... My Xiaoya..."
It seems he has once again become lost in his own world.
This made Jiang Wu sigh again.
Wang Tiefeng smiled wryly and continued, "Mr. Bai, two soldiers escaped back then, but they were both completely insane. All they could say was 'monster,' and we couldn't get any valuable information out of them. I'm afraid only the high-ranking officer who directly organized the operation knows the specifics..."
"Who is that high-ranking official? Can I meet him?" Jiang Wu immediately asked.
Wang Tiefeng shook his head, his smile growing even more bitter: "He's dead. Just a few days after the exploration team's accident. The cause of death... is very suspicious. They say it was an accident, but many people feel it's not that simple. This matter is a taboo topic in the base."
Jiang Wu frowned.
The only high-ranking official who knew the truth is dead?
The foggy area and the events were even more bizarre than he had imagined.
Looking at the engineer before him, who was obsessed and driven mad by his daughter, he knew that without solving his daughter's problem, it would be almost impossible to persuade him to leave.
After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Wu made a bold decision.
He looked at Chen Fengzi and said in an almost reckless, righteous tone, "Engineer Chen! Waiting like this won't work! I'll go in and look for you! I'll go to that foggy area and try my best to find clues about your daughter!"
"If I really can't find it... I've done my best. But I hope that, considering I risked my life to help you, you'll accept my invitation and come back to my base with me! I guarantee your absolute safety!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Tiefeng's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock, "Mr. Bai! You can't go to that place! The team was led by two of the top ten experts in the base at the time! They were all elites! And yet, they were all wiped out! Aren't you just sending yourself to your death by going alone?!"
Chen Fengzi was also stunned. His previously unfocused and cloudy eyes stared intently at Jiang Wu, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood of his words.
Jiang Wu, however, remained calm. He even smiled, with an inexplicable confidence: "Colonel Wang, I'm fast and always have good luck. If I encounter danger I can't handle, I'll definitely make my escape immediately. Besides, I have that golden bird to back me up."
He looked at Chen Fengzi again, his tone sincere: "Engineer Chen, what do you think? This is the only way I can think of that might lead to a clue about your daughter. We can't just keep waiting, can we?"
Chen Fengzi stood there for a long time, his cracked lips trembling. Finally, he said in a hoarse voice, "You...you're really willing to go to that godforsaken place to help me?"
Jiang Wu nodded solemnly.
Chen Fengzi's eyes suddenly reddened. He grabbed Jiang Wu's hand tightly, so tightly that Jiang Wu raised an eyebrow slightly: "Fine! Fine! If you can bring back news of my daughter, even just the slightest clue! My life, Chen Guodong's life, is yours! I'll go wherever you say!"
"Even if you don't find it... as long as you come back safely, I promise to go to your base with you for a while! I keep my word!"
"It's a deal." Jiang Wu smiled.
Anyway, he was also curious about the Fog Zone and would go check it out sooner or later.
Now, if we go there, we can still lure away Chen Guodong, a talented individual.
Kill two birds with one stone.
As for any danger, Jiang Wu wasn't worried at all.
It's probably some kind of powerful evolved beast inside, and a really terrifying one at that.
That's why the two people who escaped, even after going insane, still kept shouting "monster."
When facing evolved beasts, Jiang Wu possesses both the danger foresight ability he obtained from the system and the system's warnings.
In addition, there is his own strength.
Jiang Wu is truly not to be underestimated.
In addition, although the area is very large, spanning tens of kilometers, its width is estimated to be even wider.
The total area is estimated to be several thousand square kilometers.
But at Jiang Wu's current speed of running at full speed, which is faster than a high-speed train, that small area is really nothing.
Wang Tiefeng stared blankly at Jiang Wu.
I completely don't understand why Jiang Wu would risk his life.
Although it's unclear why Jiang Wu possesses a giant golden bird as his mount.
However, this is absolutely a blessing for humanity!
Its potential impact is immeasurable!
If they were to die like this, it would be a great loss to humanity!
Wang Tiefeng gritted his teeth, preparing to continue persuading him.
But Chen Guodong became energetic and looked at Jiang Wu excitedly, saying, "Come on! I'll treat you to a good meal at Longfeng Restaurant! I've heard the food there is unbelievably delicious! I've been saving up my crystal cores, wanting to go, but I've never had the chance!"
"After we eat, I'll take you to Tiandao Foot Massage City. There are lots of beautiful women there!"
Jiang Wu also laughed heartily and said, "Okay! You treat me now, and I'll treat you properly later."
He is currently really short of money.
Chen Guodong laughed heartily.
Suddenly, he looked down at his clothes, which were covered in black oil stains, and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to change my clothes!"
After saying that, he ran wildly toward a house.
Jiang Wu's lips twitched.
It seems that Chen Guodong is still somewhat confused in some aspects.
Are you just going to leave me standing here like this?
