Chapter 563: Chapter 338: The Vanished Boy
(The third update from yesterday.)
Why were these people so fanatic?
Because this clearly identified team was from Zhongjing City’s top military enterprise!
They were representatives of the local forces on Blue Capital Star—the Lan Du Military Group!
After the first half of the convoy, eight limited-edition Silver Wing Floating Cars slowly passed by, followed by four extra-large armed heavy trucks.
The long trailer behind the heavy trucks was covered with a thick layer of blue-gray felt cloth.
However, from the bulging shape, one could clearly see its gigantic outline!
The convoy was uniformly marked with the logo of the Lan Du Military Group, looking very imposing.
Inside the second black Floating Car, Gaoling Ze and Donald sat side by side in the back seat.
Listening to the cheers nearby, Gaoling Ze remarked with a click of his tongue, “I never thought we could attend such an important event as hosts.”
“The rotation among the Four Major Star Regions will naturally come back to us. However, Blue Capital Star has not made it to the top 32 in nearly ten years. It’s time for a change,” Donald replied, his eyes smiling though they appeared cold.
“Yeah, who would have thought we’d pull in a Quasi-Ace Mechanical Master and a Mecha with technology from beyond the stars? Natello, are you planning to let that Mecha compete?”
“Why not? The internal assessment is quite high on this Mecha. I’m eager to see just how strong the Mecha we’ve put so much effort into is. Otherwise, how could we live up to the host’s extra spot?”
“It’s really interesting. The Mechas from Loki Heavy Industry are registered in our name, then Loki Heavy Industry forfeits—just thinking about that scene gives me an uncontrollable thrill,” Donald laughed maniacally.
The neurotic laughter was perfectly contained within the car; Donald was determined to make it into the top 32 of this martial arts competition!
He was securing a ticket for his father into the elite circles of Capital Star.
His ruthless gaze was filled with indescribable confidence; he had been preparing for this day for a long time!
The Tang family shall rise again from me!
“What’s the situation with those two now?” Gaoling Ze asked.
“Hmph, they’re still being closely watched inside. I wonder how long they think they can hide, waiting for their wounds to heal? The entire Zhongjing City is under my surveillance. Loki Heavy Industry is destined to be the stepping stone for our rise,” Donald said with a smile at the corner of his mouth. Right now, at Purple Jade Star, the incremental takeover of the Wang Family’s assets had begun.
Wang Ji was still missing, and Wang Lingfeng would have his information blocked for another two days.
“Young Master Tang is truly meticulous,” Gaoling Ze gave a thumbs up.
A burst of unrestrained laughter filled the car.
Outside, too, there was cheering—the crowd was cheering for their local heroes!
…
On the edge of the eastern district of the city, inside a small medical facility, a girl curled up on the ground gently murmured, then suddenly opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face: “Grandpa, don’t go!”
Her pale face was dripping with large beads of sweat, and her eyes couldn’t hide the unmistakable terror.
Nuonuo had just had a dream. She was floating alone in the universe, with no one around her, enveloped in darkness and solitude for a long, long time.
Then she saw her grandpa walking towards her, which immediately comforted her.
But he merely smiled at her and then disappeared before her eyes.
The endless darkness came again, causing Wang Nuonuo’s heart to beat violently; she woke up instantly in a great fright.
Phew…
It was just a dream!
She and the adults must have been resting in this medical facility for a night.
Right, how are the adult’s wounds!?
Remembering this, Wang Nuonuo hurriedly looked around.
But there was no sign of Mu Fan beside her…
“Adult!~”
“Mu Fan!”
Still nothing; a growing sense of foreboding gripped her.
The adults must be in another room; he wouldn’t just abandon me.
Her eyes red-rimmed, she was about to stand up leaning on the floor, but her palm touched the edge of a soft piece of clothing.
Then she saw neatly folded suit lying beside her hand.
A Sky Communication device lay quietly on top of it.
“Is this the adult’s Sky Communication… has he really left?”
With tears in her eyes, Wang Nuonuo looked down at the floor, her pale fingers caressing the blood-stained suit, when her fingers brushed over Sky Communication, the screen suddenly lit up.
Hm?
Nuonuo hurriedly picked up the Sky Communication device, and then coincidentally saw the text that was set to display automatically upon activation.
A message left for herself by Mu Fan!?
She carefully held it, reading each word on it aloud.
“Nuonuo, if you wake up, do not panic, please wait calmly.”
…
“The clothes you gave me, I liked them very much. I also liked the Mecha you gave me. So this time, I also want to give you a gift.”
…
“I will tell you, in this world—there has never been an impossibility.”
When the girl finished reading the last sentence, large, scalding tears fell to the ground; the text was warm, and her restless heart was instantly soothed.
There has never been an impossibility…
Imagining Mu Fan leaving the message while gravely injured, Nuonuo’s eyes went blank with affection.
The medical facility’s working hours start at 8:30, and Wang Nuonuo being there alone would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble.
So after a moment of silence, she picked up the blood-stained suit, preparing to find an opportunity to evade.
But then, the Sky Communication device suddenly started vibrating.
The vibrating number displayed: Unknown.
Watching the device vibrate for over ten seconds, was it an adult or someone else… perhaps Lin Wu?
Wang Nuonuo finally decided to grit her teeth and answer it.
“…” Her delicate breathing came through the Sky Communication to the other side, but she said nothing.
She would not reveal her situation before confirming the identity of the caller.
“…Nuonuo, it’s Mu Fan.”
The voice from the other side resonated, immediately putting down the girl’s guard.
A myriad of words ultimately condensed into two, “Sir.”
All the worries, hesitations, everything was hidden within these two words.
“Everything is fine here with me. Now, I need you to do something,” Mu Fan’s voice was steady and calm.
“Okay, you say,” Nuonuo did not ask any questions but agreed directly and decisively.
“Walk out, go to the Floating Car parked at the entrance, then drive that Floating Car to South Suburb Plain and wait for me at the entrance.”
When Mu Fan uttered the words “South Suburb Plain,” Wang Nuonuo’s heart skipped a beat!
The place named South Suburb Plain, yet it was a civilian military construction cluster.
It was also the open garrison location for the Zhongjing Military District, furthermore…
It was the final registration site for the Mecha Martial Arts Competition!
“Sir, what are you doing? That place is the registration site for the Mecha Martial Arts Competition! And there are still people tailing me outside here.”
Wang Nuonuo was utterly shocked.
On the other end of the Sky Communication, Mu Fan stood alone in the center of the Nautilus warehouse, looking up at a completely black heavy truck that was covered completely with armor, with flames burning in his eyes.
“Nuonuo.”
“Mm.”
“This time, I’m giving you a gift.”
…
Five minutes later, a young girl clutching a blood-stained coat hurried out from Ward 1032 of the medical facility, and upon entering the floating car that had been parked overnight, she directly drove towards the city area.
Bearded and others, having surveilled her all night, immediately entered an excited frenzy, ready to start tracking.
But to his shock, he realized that until the car left, only Wang Nuonuo had appeared!
Where was that guy!
He instinctively felt something was off.
Five minutes later, Bearded stood horrified in the storage room, exchanged a glance with his subordinates, then suddenly took out his Sky Communication.
His voice carried an intense panic:
“Master, there’s been a situation at the medical facility, the target female has evacuated, and the target male… completely disappeared!”
