In the courtyard of the Mushroom House, the atmosphere seemed to spark with excitement.

Looking at Yang Mi's red eyes and her anxious stomping of her feet, I could see...

"Boss Yang, Boss Yang, don't be in such a hurry."

Upon seeing this, Teacher Huang offered words of comfort:

"I've already sent Pengpeng to call the child."

"Pengpeng is quick on his feet, he'll probably be back soon."

"That kid's clever, he's probably digging somewhere... uh, working, he didn't hear his phone ring."

Yang Mi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the panic in her heart, and nodded.

however.

Just as Teacher Huang finished speaking...

A figure stumbled and ran into the courtyard.

It was Peng Peng.

He was out of breath, his face flushed, and before he could even steady himself, he shouted urgently:

"Master! Boss Yang!"

"I...I couldn't find it!"

"I went to the fishpond, but there's no one there! I only saw a newly dug pit, but Brother Mo'ang is nowhere to be seen!"

........................................

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi felt her head buzz and her body sway, almost losing her balance.

The person has disappeared?

At this critical juncture, in a dangerous area where a nuclear bomb could be detonated at any moment, the person has disappeared?

"How could he have disappeared? Where could he have gone?"

He Ling and her sister also gathered around, their faces full of worry.

Just then.

"Teachers! Miss Yang!"

Several fully armed soldiers strode over, their expressions serious, speaking very quickly:

"Please get on the bus with us immediately!"

"Evacuation orders have been issued. This area is within the core lockdown zone and is extremely dangerous!"

"The helicopter is ready, please evacuate immediately!"

Although the soldiers spoke politely, their resolute determination to carry out orders was still evident in their words.

Faced with the soldiers' urging.

Yang Mi bit her lip.

She glanced in the direction of the back mountain.

Normally, she would definitely cooperate with the authorities immediately and would never cause trouble.

But right now, that bastard Li Mo'an is still nowhere to be found.

He was the only son of the Li family, a junior she brought into the circle, and her nominal nephew.

If this child really dies here, she will never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

"I'm not leaving."

Yang Mi suddenly spoke, her voice still trembling slightly, but her tone was unusually firm.

The soldier hesitated for a moment: "Miss Yang, this is an order..."

"I know."

Yang Mi raised her head, and her fox-like eyes, which usually carried a hint of charm, now revealed a resolute determination.

She didn't say I was looking for someone, nor did she throw a tantrum.

Instead, she tidied her slightly messy hair, exuded the aura of a top female star, and uttered words that left everyone speechless:

"There are still so many villagers who haven't been evacuated."

"As a public figure who enjoys so many social resources, how can I be the first to run away at a time like this?"

"I want to set a good example."

"Let the people go first!"

"I'll leave once everyone is safe!"

That's called emotional intelligence.

That's what you call vision.

Even though she was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, wishing she could rush into the mountains herself to drag Li Mo'an out, on the surface, she still gave the most perfect reason.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Huang and He Ling exchanged a glance.

"Yes! We're not leaving either!"

Teacher Huang straightened her back and said, "Mo'an is a member of our Mushroom House. We are a family, and we can't abandon him."

"I'll stay too!" Pengpeng raised his hand.

"Me too!" the younger sister said softly but firmly.

Even director Wang Yuzheng, who had been squatting in the corner questioning his existence, suddenly stood up.

He glanced around and gritted his teeth.

"Run? Where to run?"

"After such a major incident, if you run away at the last minute, how will you ever face anyone in this industry again?"

With this in mind, Wang Yu made up his mind.

Rather than running away and getting caught, it's better to stay and make a name for yourself.

What if... what if I do something good?

Or at least cultivate some goodwill so that when the higher-ups investigate and hold him accountable in the future, they might consider his dedication to his post and give him a lighter sentence.

So Wang Yuzheng stepped forward resolutely: "I'm the director, I'm not leaving! I'm staying to cooperate with the work!"

The soldiers were also at their wits' end looking at the group of celebrities and directors who were refusing to leave.

Their orders were to evacuate, but the other side used the righteous reason of "letting the masses go first," so they couldn't really forcibly take them away.

In addition, the evacuation of villagers there is still in full swing, and manpower is already scarce.

"Alright!"

The squad leader glanced at his watch and stopped pressuring, saying, "Then you must stay in the safe zone and don't wander off!"

After saying that, he led his soldiers to turn around and evacuate the other villagers.

........................................

They saw the soldiers were about to leave.

Yang Mi then realized what was happening.

She quickly stepped forward, grabbed the class monitor's sleeve, and said in a pleading tone:

"Comrade! Could...could you do me a favor?"

"We have an artist here named Li Mo'an. He went to the back mountain just now, and we can't contact him now."

"Could you send someone to help look for him? He might be in the nearby woods!"

Upon hearing this, the class monitor frowned.

Now is the time to race against time, and every soldier is precious.

But he also knew that every life is equal.

"Okay! I'll report this to command and arrange a search and rescue team immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief, her palms sweating profusely.

And just then...

Rumble—!!!

A more intense and awe-inspiring roar echoed through the sky.

The sound boomed like rolling thunder, surging in from all directions, causing the rubble on the ground to tremble slightly.

Everyone instinctively looked up.

On the distant horizon, a huge cluster of black dots appeared.

As the distance closed, the black dots rapidly grew larger.

It's a helicopter formation!

It wasn't just one or two.

Instead, it was a dozen or so heavy helicopters, each with a different paint scheme and model, flying over like a flock of giant steel eagles, blotting out the sky.

Thirty minutes after that top-ten bigwig made his promise.

Not a minute more, not a second less.

The top talents and resources mobilized by the whole country have finally all been in place!

This scene left everyone present speechless and deeply shocked.

This is the power of a nation!

This is the Dongguk speed!

woohoo-

The wind blows.

Helicopters began landing in batches at village entrances, threshing grounds, and even on paved roads.

The hatch opened.

One by one, people dressed in white lab coats or special training uniforms, carrying cases of precision instruments, jumped down in a hurry.

Some of them had gray hair, some wore thick glasses, and some looked refined and cultured.

But each person wore a badge around their neck that commanded respect.

Nuclear physics expert, geological exploration master, academician of blasting engineering...

These figures, who usually only exist in textbooks or on the news, have all gathered in this remote mountain village.

Followed by.

Boxes of equipment labeled "fragile" and "precision instrument" were unloaded.

There were even several futuristic, tracked special robots that drove out directly from the tail section of the transport plane.

Those who had not yet evacuated from the scene, including Yang Mi and her group, were immediately given heavy anti-radiation suits.

"Put them on quickly!"

No one dared to be negligent.

After putting on that bulky protective suit, Yang Mi felt a little short of breath, but the tension of being in battle was instantly overwhelming.

........................................

At this time.

A temporary field command post has been set up on the open ground at the entrance of the village.

Qian Chenghui, the old man, was standing in front of a huge tactical table.

Those top experts who had just gotten off the plane quickly gathered around Qian Lao, even before they had a chance to catch their breath.

There was no small talk.

There was no nonsense.

With a calm and even methodical expression, Mr. Qian began to issue orders.

Although his voice was weak, it carried a calm and steady quality that could stabilize any situation.

"Map experts!"

"Here!" Several senior professors immediately stepped forward.

"This is the map I found in the archives."

Professor Qian handed over the yellowed piece of paper: "Immediately compare it with the current satellite cloud images and geological data! I need to pinpoint all possible coordinates as quickly as possible!"

"yes!"

"Engineering expert team!"

"arrive!"

"Based on the engineering standards of the original 'Operation Crusade for the Jade,' we need to develop an on-site plan for opening the blast doors and for emergency support! Assuming the internal structure has partially collapsed, how do we get in?"

"yes!"

"Satellite dispatcher!"

"Present!" A young officer wearing headphones saluted.

"Mobilize over-the-top satellites to conduct multi-band scans of this area! I need to check for any unusual heat sources or cavitation reactions on the surface!"

"Yes! The satellite has changed its orbit and will pass overhead in two minutes!"

"Network informant!"

"arrive!"

"Sift through all the clues online to see if any locals have mentioned strange caves or if there are any rumors passed down from elders!"

"yes!"

At last.

Mr. Qian's gaze fell on a squad with the best equipment, all of whom wore special badges.

"Investigation expert team!"

"arrive!"

"Take the Geiger counter and ground-penetrating radar, and head to the back of the mountain immediately!"

Mr. Qian pointed heavily at the blurry mountainous area on the map:

"Since the map points here, then search every inch of it!"

"You absolutely must find that entrance for me!"

"Set off!"

"yes!"

With a command given.

The entire command system immediately sprang into operation at high speed, with perfect accuracy.

Everyone performs their duties and fights for the same goal.

Not long after.

The ground team, composed of top reconnaissance experts, carrying a rudimentary copy of the map, wearing heavy radiation suits, and carrying sophisticated detection equipment, nimbly crossed the cordon.

They began to enter the back mountain, into the dense jungle.

Drop drop-

The detection instrument in his hand emitted rhythmic sounds.

As they walked, they compared the surrounding terrain and conducted on-site investigations at various suspicious locations.

They walked past the courtyard where Yang Mi was anxiously waiting.

We passed through the area where the villagers had previously lived.

They wandered around and around.

Guided by that map, or perhaps it was preordained in the dark.

This search team, representing the nation's highest level of scientific and technological strength, began to slowly deviate from its intended route.

Little by little.

It pointed to the place where Li Mo'an had been sent to dig a fishpond, and where he was now sweating profusely and tirelessly digging—

That inconspicuous direction at the foot of the mountain...
