After giving the latest deployment order, Chen Ye unintentionally turned around and realized that Su Yun had already disappeared from the spot. This immediately made him anxious. Just as he was about to ask the police officers if they had seen Su Yun, he saw Xu Kui rushing over from afar.
“Commander Xu, have you seen Su Yun?”
Facing Chen Ye’s question, Xu Kui was still a little confused. “What Su Yun?” Chen Ye roughly recounted what had just happened, making Xu Kui’s eyes widen. “What? Su Yun came to Cangluan Mountain? This brat was really persistent! Where is he now?”
Chen Ye pointed helplessly at the place where Su Yun had been. “He was just there a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.”
“This kid is really elusive. What does he want to do now?” Xu Kui muttered angrily. He suddenly saw something on the ground. This made him quickly squat down to check. It was a note that was pressed under a rock.
Xu Kui looked up at Chen Ye and hurriedly picked up the note. He opened it and leaned over to take a look.
“The overseas factions have discovered a new entrance to the tomb outside the border. Tell the archeological team to evacuate quickly. Remember to be careful!”
This news made Xu Kui and Chen Ye frown. Although there was no name written on the note, it was undoubtedly left behind by Su Yun, but the contents of the note made the two of them feel uneasy.
“Oh no, if the note Su Yun left is true, we have to quickly transfer the archeological team back.”
Hearing Chen Ye’s words, Xu Kui nodded gently. Then, he looked at Chen Ye again. “Leave this matter to the police. I’ll also send a team to search for Su Yun. Hurry up and gather in the temporary command room. I came to look for you because something happened outside the border.”
“What happened?”
“Hurry up and go to the temporary command room now. The commander of the border military district is already waiting in the temporary command room. Let’s talk on the way.”
From Xu Kui’s tone, Chen Ye could tell that the matter was serious. Therefore, he quickly instructed the others to look for Su Yun while he followed Xu Kui to the temporary tent built on the mountain.
Along the way, Xu Kui roughly recounted the matter, causing Chen Ye to quickly become solemn.
“The overseas factions are starting to become restless and are leaning towards this side. Could it be because of the entrance to the Chi You’s Tomb mentioned in the note Su Yun left behind?”
Facing Chen Ye’s question, Xu Kui shook his head. “It’ll be easier if we know. I just don’t know what their goal is. This is what makes me most uneasy. According to Commander Feng’s speculation, it was indeed very likely that they were here for Chi You’s Tomb. However, I’m puzzled. How did Su Yun get to know this news before us and be so sure?” As he spoke, Xu Kui lifted the curtain and walked into the temporary command room with Chen Ye.
Feng Shaoyu was personally presiding over it. He stood at the command table with a solemn expression and was waiting for the two of them to come. He had already heard what Xu Kui had said at the door. He immediately nodded and said, “That’s right. Our border military region has always had our own special information channels, but the information coming from these channels is almost the same. More than six factions are rushing over, and their goals are the same!”
As he spoke, Feng Shaoyu pointed out a location on the map. This place was not far from the border. It was precisely because of this that Feng Shaoyu looked so solemn at this moment.
“We have reason to suspect that these factions are here for Chi You’s Tomb. The data provided by Professor Sun and the others also mentioned that the area that extended underground past Chi You’s Tomb was immeasurable, but it was very likely that it had already exceeded the border.
“In that case, we can’t rule out the possibility of entering the entrance of the Chi You’s Tomb outside the border. I think this is also the only reasonable explanation for why so many factions are restless at the same time.”
Xu Kui thought for a moment and clenched his fists. “If this guess is true, doesn’t that mean that the archeological team in the tomb is in danger? We also have a note left behind by Su Yun. We can almost confirm that such an entrance to the Chi You’s Tomb really exists outside the border.
“Therefore, we had to transfer the archeological team back in advance. We have no reason to interfere with these forces operating outside the border. If they bring firearms into the tomb and encounter our archeological team, won’t they be doomed?”
“That’s right. This way, there will be big trouble. Not only will it endanger the lives of the archeologists, but we might even lose important cultural relics!”
Chen Ye’s gaze was complicated. He knew about genetic research. It was very important and the higher-ups were very concerned. He could not afford to lose it! He looked at Xu Kui and Feng Shaoyu anxiously and said, “Chiefs, quickly send a team into the tomb to support the archeological team. It shouldn’t be too late now.”
“Wait a minute. Who is this Su Yun you’re talking about?” Feng Shaoyu was very puzzled about this, but at this moment, Chen Ye and Xu Kui were no longer in the mood to explain.
“I’ll explain this to you slowly. Let’s get the archeological team back first..”
