Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

Yang Mi was speechless.

Her own nephew, who could unearth so many bombs just by repairing a road, was, in her opinion, at the highest level of strangeness.

Now an even more outrageous one has appeared?

Can you find state secrets by following footprints? Is this a sensible statement or a myth?

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

Inside the command center, Qian Chenghui's lips twitched uncontrollably.

He shook his head violently, trying to pull himself out of that extreme sense of unreality.

As one of the most outstanding physicists in the East, he had always believed in science and data. But what happened today was far too much of a challenge to his worldview.

He took a deep breath, fixed his gaze on the screen again, and asked the Alpha Squad leader on the other end of the video call in a serious tone:

Are you sure?

"Are you telling the truth?"

He even had a ridiculous thought pop into his head.

"These kids, could they have accidentally eaten some kind of poisonous plant, like Boletus luridus or a white parasol, while searching in the mountains, and are now all hallucinating?"

You should know that this is Yunnan Province.

Every year, there are many cases of people being hospitalized for mushroom poisoning, seeing all sorts of little people dancing in the air.

Although this Alpha team is the elite of the elite, they are still human, not machines. Under extremely tense and high-pressure conditions, misjudgments are not entirely impossible.

"Reporting to Mr. Qian! We guarantee it's absolutely true!"

The captain on the other end of the video call immediately answered loudly, his voice clear and full of energy.

"We've confirmed it repeatedly; the footprints are very clear, definitely standard canvas shoe prints. And we've reached the entrance; the fortification entrance here is fresh, with recently excavated soil!"

The captain's voice was firm and resolute.

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

After receiving another affirmative answer, Qian Lao fell silent.

The experts in the command center also fell silent.

If once is a coincidence, what about twice?

If the captain is the only one with poor eyesight, does that mean the entire squad is?

Is metaphysics the end of science?

No.

Mr. Qian did not believe in this.

He stared at the screen, remaining silent for a good ten seconds, as if processing this unbelievable information.

Then he spoke again, his voice hoarse as he pressed on:

"Those footprints...can we determine who left them?"

"Report: We cannot confirm at this time. The footprints are very ordinary, and the mountain forest environment is complex, so we are unable to extract any useful biological information," the captain replied.

"Unable to determine..."

Old Qian repeated it in a low voice, a hint of determination flashing in his cloudy eyes.

He stopped worrying about who left those footprints.

Right now, the most urgent task is that nuclear bomb!

Currently, the Alpha team has only found a possible entrance based on the footprints, which can only be considered as having a 90% certainty.

They also had to send people in to personally confirm whether it was the final sealing point for the "Jade Shattering Plan"!

After confirmation, an even more daunting task lay ahead—how to safely dispose of this time bomb that had exceeded its "design safety lifespan".

Thinking of this, Mr. Qian slammed his hand on the table.

"I'm not waiting any longer!"

He made a quick decision and said:

"I'll go to the back mountain myself!"

After saying that, the elderly man with graying temples suddenly turned around and strode towards the outside of the command post, as if he was preparing to take a helicopter to the scene immediately.

Everyone in the command post was taken aback by Qian Lao's sudden decision.

That's a national treasure, how could he personally go to such a dangerous place!

"Old Qian!"

"Mr. Qian, this is too dangerous!"

Several experts and security personnel immediately tried to follow and dissuade them.

"It's not safer here than there, if there really is a nuclear bomb." Old Qian waved his hand.

Just then, Yang Mi, who had been waiting anxiously on the sidelines, could no longer hold back.

Seeing that Mr. Qian was about to leave, she disregarded the occasion and rushed forward to block his way.

"Old Qian!"

Her voice trembled slightly with a hint of pleading as she anxiously asked:

"Excuse me... do you have any news about my nephew?"

Fearing that Mr. Qian might not know who she was referring to, she quickly added:

"His name is Li Mo'an! He's... he's the one who caused the bombing at the village entrance! He went to the back mountain and hasn't come back yet; we can't get through to him on the phone!"

Yang Mi is really anxious.

She placed all her hopes on this old man.

However, she had barely finished speaking.

Wang Dafa, the garrison commander, stepped forward, frowned, and said in a slightly reproachful tone:

"Ms. Yang, I have already dispatched a search team into the mountains. I will notify you as soon as I have any news."

Wang Dafa felt somewhat displeased.

He felt that the female celebrity was being too disregard for the bigger picture.

What time is it now?

This is an emergency! Everyone's attention should be focused on that nuclear bomb.

Isn't it obvious which is more important, a person's disappearance or a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment?

Although he knew that this young man named Li Mo'an was no ordinary person.

You see, just a short while ago, Commander Zhao Dashan personally called to say that the bomb incident involved an important figure and asked him to ensure everything went perfectly. He knew that the important figure the commander was referring to was Li Mo'an.

That's why, upon learning of Li Mo'an's disappearance, Wang Dafa immediately drew manpower from the most elite troops to form a search and rescue team, whose level was no lower than that of the Alpha Team.

He certainly took this matter very seriously.

However, while it's important to pay attention to things, priorities must be distinguished.

The most critical and deadliest issue right now is that nuclear bomb!

In Wang Dafa's opinion, Yang Mi's decision to stop Qian Lao from asking about this matter was really a bit reckless.

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

Upon hearing Wang Dafa's words, Yang Mi immediately realized what he meant.

Looking at Qian Lao's tired face and then at the tense experts around her, she realized that she had been too concerned and had indeed been a bit presumptuous.

A hint of apology immediately appeared on her face, and she was about to step aside.

It was at this moment that...

On the command platform, the communications officer, who had been in charge of communications, suddenly looked up and reported:

"Report! Alpha Squad's second video call request!"

Mr. Qian was taken aback. What was going on? Another video call request?
