"Well, don't worry, things have progressed and the investigation will be completed soon. When I get home, we'll take a family photo together."
After greeting the girls on the phone with a smile, Shen Cheng closed the video call and stretched.
Turning around, I saw Shao Silin holding a blanket and said to Shen Cheng: "Boss Shen, you go to the room to sleep tonight, I will sleep on the sofa."
Obviously, Shao Silin was still very clear about why Shen Cheng refused to sleep in the same room with him.
Chen Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I'd better sleep on the sofa. My physique is better, and sleeping on the sofa won't affect me. We still have to climb the mountain tomorrow, so you should have a good rest."
Shao Silin opened his mouth to try to persuade him, but considering the overall situation, he nodded and agreed.
Everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. Shen Cheng turned off the lights, lay down on the sofa, covered himself with a blanket, and fell asleep happily thinking that he would be able to finish his work and go home soon.
Late at night, Feicui opened her eyes and looked at Dr. Xiaoliang who was sleeping beside her, with a slight smile on her lips.
Jade got out of bed quietly, looked towards the door and took a step forward.
The next moment, a ruthless hand grabbed the back of Feicui's neck, causing her entire body to stiffen slightly. Dr. Xiaoliang's emotionless voice came from behind her: "Operator Shen has to go on a mission tomorrow. Don't disturb his rest."
"Uh... I, I'm just going to the bathroom..." Jade replied stutteringly.
"Hold it in." Dr. Xiaoliang said lightly.
"Hmm..." Feicui puffed out her cheeks, cursed her inwardly as a sour-faced woman, and then went back to bed and rested obediently.
When the sky was just getting light, Shen Cheng opened his eyes.
Seeing that it was still early, Shen Cheng originally planned to sleep a little longer, but when he thought about going home after completing the mission, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
After lying on the sofa for a while, Shen Cheng simply got up, washed up, and started preparing breakfast for everyone.
Because there was finally rice, and thinking of Feicui's bottomless stomach, Shen Cheng specially added a little more to breakfast today.
When breakfast was served, Liusu and others got up.
"You got up so early today." Liusu said to Chen Cheng after taking a look at the steaming food on the table.
Shen Cheng smiled and said, "I can't sleep when I think about going home after the mission is over."
"If my little brother leaves, there will be no one left to cook for me." Feicui sat down at the table and took a big mouthful of rice.
"I'll have them send you to the Institute of Biological Sciences by then. The food there is much richer than here." Dr. Xiaoliang suddenly said from the side.
Hearing this, Feicui was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Dr. Xiaoliang.
Dr. Xiaoliang smiled and raised an eyebrow: "Why? Can't bear to leave me?"
"No, I can finally leave you, my sour-faced woman. I'm so happy!" Jade turned her head away and snorted.
After dinner, everyone packed up their equipment and drove towards the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
…
Shen Cheng could clearly say that he seemed to have overestimated Ji Yuanqiu and Shao Silin last night.
Not long after climbing the snow mountain, Ji Yuanqiu and Shao Silin's cheeks were already flushed and they were panting.
"Hey, you are all fit people who have received professional training. Why are you so lame?" Chen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but turned his head and said.
Liu Xiaobao, who was standing by, smiled and said, "It's okay. These two are just not used to the plateau. Don't look at them like that. In fact, you can let them climb to the top of the mountain in one breath. And they will be back to their lively and energetic self as soon as they get down the mountain."
“Since you have altitude sickness, why did the organization send you to the Western Territory to carry out the mission…” Shen Cheng covered his face.
Little did they know that at this moment, at the foot of the mountain, a cloaked figure appeared. Looking at the footprints on the snowy ground, he stood there for a moment, then slowly walked up to follow.
Although Dr. Xiaoliang has reduced the scope of Shen Cheng and others' investigation to the minimum, Shen Cheng and others can only wander around in this area like headless flies.
They kept wandering around like this until noon, but they still didn't find any clues.
Because mountain climbing is a very physically demanding activity, the few of them simply found a place sheltered from the wind, took out some biscuits, bread and other things and started eating.
Ji Yuanqiu and Shao Silin each took out a cup, poured milk into it and handed it to Dong Yuanhua.
Dong Yuanhua sighed and took the cups from the two.
The next moment, Dong Yuanhua had an idea, and flames suddenly appeared in his hands. From time to time, wisps of hot steam began to rise from the milk in the cup.
Chen Cheng was a little surprised. Is this how fire abilities are used?
Thinking of Huihui at home, Shen Cheng nodded to himself.
Hmm... maybe I can give it a try when I travel in the future.
"Wow, the cup is a little hot." Ji Yuanqiu and Shao Silin took the cups from Dong Yuanhua, and then started drinking happily.
Dong Yuanhua looked at the two of them eagerly, but they just ignored her.
Seeing this, Dong Yuanhua couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Hey! At least prepare something for me. How can you order people around like this?
"Buzz—"
Shen Cheng, who was chewing on bread, suddenly felt an extremely sharp sound piercing his eardrum, causing a sharp pain in his brain.
The sudden severe pain caused the bread in Shen Cheng's hand to fall into the snow. Shen Cheng put his hand on his forehead and couldn't help clenching his teeth.
"Chen Cheng? What's wrong with you?" Liu Su was startled and hurriedly supported Chen Cheng to ask what happened.
The severe pain faded away like a tide after only a moment. Shen Cheng waved his hand: "It's okay, my head just hurts suddenly."
"Could it be that Boss Shen is also suffering from altitude sickness?" Shao Silin was stunned. "Why don't you take a rest first? After all, it's your first time, so it's normal to feel uncomfortable."
For some reason, several people always felt that Shao Silin's words seemed a bit ambiguous. Ji Yuanqiu and Dong Yuanhua quietly distanced themselves from Shao Silin.
"It's okay, it only hurts for a moment, it won't affect me... Wait!" Shen Cheng, who was indicating that he was fine, suddenly felt as if some movement came into his ears, and quickly fell silent and closed his eyes.
Seeing Shen Cheng like this, several people immediately became quiet and stared at Shen Cheng intently.
“It’s the wind…” After a moment, Shen Cheng slowly spoke.
"Wind?" Dong Yuanhua was startled. "The sound of the wind? The mountains should be filled with the sound of wind right now."
"No, it's a very strong wind, from bottom to top..." Listening to the direction of the wind, Shen Cheng suddenly stood up and faced one direction.
"It should be Gu Feng." Dr. Xiao Liang's voice came from the headphones of several people: "Chen Cheng, which direction did you hear the sound of the wind? There should be a clue about Long Yin's matter!"
"It's in that direction!" Chen Cheng pointed forward and took a step forward to set off.
"Buzz—"
The next moment, a buzzing sound broke out in Shen Cheng's ears again. The intense pain in his brain almost made Shen Cheng cry out. He covered his forehead and staggered two steps.
