Xia Chujian carefully asked the soldiers and officers, "So what should we do next? Should we contact other people?"
The military must have its own way of contacting them.
But the school didn't tell them how to contact each other in this situation.
The officer on the military airship said: "We have emergency measures."
"For now, let's wait here and see if there are any other aircraft or airships returning here."
Xia Chujian said, "Then I'll wait with you guys for a while, okay?"
"I don't know how to contact the school's expedition headquarters. I can't connect to our school's local area network."
The officer said, "No problem. We are traveling with you this time, and we have the responsibility to protect you."
Xia Chujian felt relieved as if a huge stone had been lifted from his heart.
She said, "We'll stay here tonight, but is it safe outside the camp?"
The officer said, "We'll definitely have to put someone on duty at night. Besides, we can stop near that col over there."
The officer sent the coordinates of the valley to Xia Chujian.
Xia Chujian had returned to his aircraft and received the coordinates sent by the officer on the military airship.
She scanned with the aircraft's radar and found that the place was just 500 meters behind them.
It was surrounded on three sides by charred mountains and by a fiery river of volcanic lava.
Xia Chujian asked, "Is it safe there? There are mountains on three sides and volcanic lava on one side. Are those three mountains all volcanoes?"
The officer said, "Yes, there are volcanoes on three sides and a volcanic lava river on one side."
"There won't be any spatial cracks in places like this. Because spatial cracks often exist on wide, flat plains."
"Like where that camp is."
Xia Chujian was greatly surprised: "There is such a statement? Then why didn't you warn our expedition headquarters before?"
The officer on the military aircraft smiled bitterly and said, "Classmate, this is Green Star, a planet still in its prime and stable period. It's not a planet on the verge of destruction. Who would have known that it would have space cracks?!"
Xia Chujian thought about it and it made sense, but she felt that those people had really bad luck.
Thinking of those people's luck, she thought of her teammates.
If they hadn't been worried about her going out alone to collect supplies and insisted on going with her, they would definitely...
Xia Chujian sighed, supported his chin with his hand, and stared at the scenery outside the porthole in a daze.
At this time, Chen Yanjun pushed the door open and came out.
He stretched himself, yawned, and said with a smile, "Captain, where are we?"
As he spoke, he walked towards the public area, stood next to Xia Chujian, and looked out the porthole.
"Huh? Is this... a campsite? Haven't we left yet?"
"Why is the campground so bare? Why don't we keep going back?"
Chen Yanjun has been meditating all day and his mind is still extremely active.
Xia Chujian said calmly: "We have gone out and now we are back."
"Eight hours have already passed since morning."
Chen Yanjun gasped, "It's already been eight hours?! Why do I feel like I just closed my eyes!"
"What's going on at the camp? Is everyone out gathering supplies?"
Xia Chujian was about to speak when he heard the rooms of his teammates in the aircraft open one after another. They had all finished their meditation to consolidate their mental strength and came out to move around.
Xia Chujian decided not to answer Chen Yanjun's question for the time being. She would wait until everyone was present and then explain the situation to them.
Sure enough, those people came to the public area one after another and took a look out the porthole.
Like Chen Yanjun, all the questions popped up as soon as he took a look.
Xia Chujian waited until they finished asking questions before speaking with a slightly heavy voice, "We left the camp this morning and took a walk outside. By the time we came back, eight hours had already passed."
"When we returned, we found the camp empty. The team members who had said they would stay that morning, along with the aircraft and airships, the teachers, and half of the military personnel, were nowhere to be seen."
"I and a few soldiers from the military airship over there went down to take a look."
"As soon as we walked into the camp, a white light shield appeared in the sky above the camp, almost sending us away."
"The officer on the military airship over there believes there's an extremely rare spatial rift in the camp."
"Those white light shields are the energy phenomena that accompany the appearance of space cracks."
Chen Yanjun and the others listened in amazement and were speechless for a long time.
It was Mai Aotuo who spoke first: "I knew it was safest to follow the captain!"
Chen Yanjun also came to his senses and immediately said, "I was worried this morning that it would be unsafe for the captain to go out alone to collect supplies! It turns out that the most unsafe ones are us!"
Jiang Sheng said with lingering fear: "...We are also rewarded for our good deeds, right?"
Xia Chujian curled the corners of her lips at what Jiang Sheng said.
But when she thought of the missing people, the corners of her lips turned down again.
At this time, she thought of Tao Pao, Zong Ruoning, and many other students who had gone through untold hardships to qualify and participate in this starry sky exploration activity.
They are just freshmen, and their bright future has just begun...
Xia Chujian coughed lightly and said, "Even if you don't go out with me, when I find out you're missing, I will definitely find you back."
