They weren't martial artists, but they all possessed considerable strength, so it seemed that logistics were mainly their responsibility.
After everyone was on board, Du Qiu drove the armored vehicle, its engine roaring as it sped along the street toward the east of the city.
...
Upon entering the restricted area again, Chen Qian stared absently at the sandstorm rushing past the car window.
The vehicle had been traveling for two hours and was long away from Jingcheng. Small piles of snow appeared from time to time by the roadside. Looking at the snow, Chen Qian was reminded of some memories.
I don't think he'll blame you.
Gu Zifang leaned closer and said softly.
Shen Qian paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Zifang with some surprise.
"What's wrong?" Gu Zifang subconsciously touched her face.
"This is the first time I've realized you're quite observant; you guessed it all," Shen Qian said truthfully.
"Are you trying to kill me? I'm a girl, isn't it normal for me to be a little careful?" Gu Zifang scolded, giving Shen Qian a light pinch.
Shen Qian vaguely felt that Gu Zifang's behavior these past two days was a bit strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong. Just as he was about to speak, the armored vehicle suddenly began to slow down and then slowly came to a stop.
"Everyone, get off the bus!"
He Weichen put on his mask, opened the car door, and was the first to jump out.
"arrive?"
Shen Qian and Gu Zifang exchanged a glance, then put their masks back on and got off the bus one after another.
Amidst the swirling sandstorm, Chen Qian looked around.
The terrain here is rather strange. To the left front is a swamp, and to the right front is a dark forest, but patches of green grass appear sporadically along the edges.
"Three Heads Town... this is it. There's a Dawn Bounty and a Sunlight Bounty here."
Because of the sandstorm, everyone was equipped with earpieces, and He Weichen's voice rang in everyone's ears.
"Du Qiu, show the mission scroll to a few new recruits. Let them complete the Dawn Bounty."
The bounties offered by Dawn are relatively small, usually ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands. The Dark Star team rarely accepts Dawn bounties anymore, but they specifically took on two this time, mainly to give newcomers practice.
"Come here, Ouyang Fei, all of you!"
Du Qiu turned around, clapped his hands, and called out.
Ouyang Fei, Gu Zifang, and Chen Peng all gathered around.
"What about before it sank?"
Du Qiu frowned and asked when he noticed that one person was missing.
Ouyang Fei and the others were all taken aback. Gu Zifang turned her head in surprise and said, "Huh? He was just talking to me, Shen Qian!"
The group tried shouting into their headsets, but no one responded.
At this moment, He Weichen and the others also noticed the abnormality and came over.
"What happened?"
"Shen Qian has disappeared..."
"They can't just disappear after getting off the bus, can they?" He Weichen frowned and shouted into his earpiece, "Everyone, assemble in front of the bus immediately!"
In less than a minute, everyone had gathered in front of the car.
After taking inventory, Shen Qian... was indeed not there.
He Weichen turned his head to look. The wind and sand made everything around him seem vast and boundless, but the visibility wasn't too bad. He could see about a hundred meters ahead, but he couldn't see any trace of Chen Qian at all.
"Yang Ni, you were the one who led the guards around just now, right? Did you see anyone run out?"
He Weichen even peered under the car to make sure Shen Qian wasn't joking before looking up and asking.
“There’s nothing unusual, and no one has left the vicinity of the vehicle by more than 30 meters. I’m quite certain of that,” Yang Ni shook her head.
"A perfectly healthy person just vanished right under everyone's noses?"
He Weichen found it hard to believe, yet it seemed to be true.
