"This morning, the boss contacted us and said the mission was going smoothly and that he’d be back by noon. But at two in the afternoon, the helicopter suddenly lost contact mid-air. At the same time, we lost the location data from the watches of the boss and the brothers who went on the mission with him."
The plane lost contact mid-air...
The color drained from Tang Mo’s face.
’Impossible. Absolutely impossible.’
"Sister-in-law, do you think... do you think the helicopter crashed?"
Hu Laosan’s voice was tinged with tears. Although he was ranked third in the team, his strategic thinking and courage didn’t measure up to even a tenth of the second-in-command’s.
Faced with this situation, he was completely panicking.
The boss had taken twelve people on this mission. Among the dozen or so who remained, Hu Yong held the highest rank, so everyone was listening to him.
But Hu Yong was out of ideas. When he got the call from his sister-in-law, he had immediately asked her to come over, clutching at her like a lifeline.
Hu Yong’s words had been blunt. There was a high probability that Qin Ling’s group had been in a plane crash...
A plane crash. Throughout history, whenever a plane has gone down, the survival rate is practically zero.
Tang Mo’s legs went weak. She stumbled for a moment before grabbing a chair to support herself as she sat down.
’No, it can’t be. It just can’t be.’
Tang Mo dug her nails into her palms, forcing herself to calm down.
’Knowing Qin Ling’s caution and intelligence, even if the helicopter ran into trouble, it’s impossible that he was completely helpless.’
’He would have done everything possible to ensure his own safety.’
’Besides, even if—even if the plane really did crash, Qin Ling’s group has extremely high attribute values. They make up more than half of the people on the rankings! And with all their equipment, it’s not like they wouldn’t have some way to save themselves.’
Tang Mo began to analyze the situation with the rationality that came from her forced composure.
’If they had died in a crash, not everyone’s watches would lose their tracking function at the exact same time.’
’They must have landed somewhere with no signal, or where the signal is being jammed or blocked.’
’He must still be alive.’
Tang Mo had an inexplicable faith in Qin Ling. She refused to believe that anything had truly happened to him.
’I have to find him. Even if something did happen... whether he’s alive or dead, I need to see him with my own eyes!’
Tang Mo had a rough idea of how complicated the internal situation of the Qin Family was. With things so uncertain, she couldn’t possibly ask them for help.
The remaining members of the Qinling Team couldn’t make a move. If they did, people in the base would quickly realize something had happened to Qin Ling. It was hard to say what kind of chaos that would cause in the base, and she couldn’t take that risk.
Besides, they didn’t even know where the group was. Bringing more people would be useless.
Going to find Qin Ling by herself was the best—and only—option right now.
