The downtime after the second attempt was longer than after the first because the energy consumption was greater.
General Yu Muchen went to see General Bai Ling again, and for the last reconnaissance mission, he managed to gain one extra hour for Lan Xuanyu, totaling four hours. This was already the limit that could be achieved.
On the third time boarding the star probe, Lan Xuanyu’s lips were tightly pursed, and his right hand was always holding onto the dragon scale pendant hanging on his chest.
“Teacher Nana, please, let me feel your presence.” He silently prayed in his heart. He was really scared, so scared. An indescribable fear filled his mind.
Not only him, but Mr. Le also fell silent and his face became unusually solemn. Under this kind of pressure, he found that his memories were constantly resurfacing. In the depths of his mind, a figure kept appearing.
Suddenly she would give a charming smile, and then a helpless smile, and sometimes a resolute one. Everything seemed to be constantly changing and flashing, all belonging to one person – the woman with silver hair and purple eyes. He was now completely certain of her importance to him, and they must have known each other before and shared an extremely close relationship.
At this moment, his nervousness was no less than that of Lan Xuanyu. He really had the urge to plunge into the star and search for Nana on the surface.
The star probe slowly slid out of the mother ship and descended for the third time to the surface of the star. The atmosphere inside the probe became noticeably tense. If they couldn’t find her this time either…
Yi Zichen came to Lan Xuanyu’s side and said in a deep voice, “Child, good things come to those who wait. Before the final result is clear, you must maintain hope. Only then can you have the greatest possibility of finding her trace. Your mental state will affect your perception in the search process.”
“Thank you,” Lan Xuanyu’s spirits lifted. Indeed, they had not yet lost hope and there was still a chance!
Taking a deep breath, Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes, steadying his mind and strengthening his belief. This time, no matter what, they would find Teacher Nana, it was certain!
Ten thousand meters, eight thousand meters, six thousand meters, five thousand meters! They reached the surface of the star once again. The exploration began in earnest.
Lan Xuanyu squeezed his spiritual perception as hard as he could, focusing on feeling outside the spacecraft. Tang Le’s spiritual guidance amplified his perception.
After several rounds of cooperation, they both felt a sense of unity. The reconnaissance began.
The probe flew continuously and steadily around the star. All sensors were fully activated.
One lap around the southern hemisphere! An hour and a half had passed.
The second lap, further from the equator. An hour and twenty minutes had passed.
No discovery was made.
Everyone’s emotions were stretched tight, and they had just over an hour left to search again. The previous two searches yielded no results, and it seemed that this rescue mission was coming to an end.
They had already searched most of the surface area of the star in the three previous explorations, but there was still no discovery.
Lan Xuanyu’s lips were tightly pursed, and although his face was already very pale, he had no intention of withdrawing his spiritual power.
Tang Le’s face was solemn, as if water was about to drip from it. His extremely handsome face even looked a bit fierce.
This was the last chance they had to explore in the third round.
Elder Yi and Meng Fei had also stood up and come to the big screen, focusing their attention on it, hoping to find some clues during the exploration process.
No, no, still no!
The time had finally come, and the third lap was finally completed. But still, there was nothing.
Lan Xuanyu’s body shook, and he was hugged by Bai Xiuxiu beside him.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Bai Xiuxiu’s beautiful eyes and instantly soaked Lan Xuanyu’s clothes. But she dared not cry out loud. In her mind, all she could think of was Nana’s teacher’s face and smile at this moment.
“Xuanyu, sometimes human effort can only do so much,” sighed Yu Muchen, speaking in a low voice. He had indeed done his best.
During the three explorations, although Lan Xuanyu hardly spoke, his persistence, his wholehearted efforts, and his emotional fluctuations were all seen by Yu Muchen. He was a rare talent! He was able to do this for his teacher. To be honest, Yu Muchen was somewhat envious. He also had disciples but compared to this young man in front of him, they were far behind.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes were somewhat lifeless. He had to retract his spiritual power because he could no longer clearly sense everything outside.
“General Yu, let me rest for a while. If I take a break, I can continue the exploration. I can do it,” Lan Xuanyu’s voice trembled, and his body was also shaking. If it weren’t for Bai Xiuxiu holding him tightly, he might have fallen to the ground at this very moment.
“Xuanyu, we did our best. You did your best too. Sometimes, we must believe in fate’s design,” said Elder Yi in a deep voice.
Although Meng Fei and Tang Miao didn’t say anything, their expressions were dim. This exploration was indeed the most advanced search and rescue method that the Federation could achieve. However, water and fire were merciless, and stars were intense. They all understood that Nana had probably already been completely swallowed by the star, and there was no chance she was still alive.
“We’ve done all we could do. Xuanyu, please take care,” sighed Wang Tianyu.
Yu Muchen looked at Zhang Zekai and said, “Prepare to return.”
They had already given the maximum support possible. The space fleet was a crucial tool of the Federation and could not keep doing something they deemed meaningless, not to mention the fleet’s duty.
Lan Xuanyu closed his eyes in pain. He had really tried his best, but he didn’t know how else he could find Teacher Nana. However, he refused to believe that Teacher Nana was already dead.
“She won’t, she won’t. Teacher Nana won’t die,” he muttered to himself, tears streaming down his face.
Bai Xiuxiu helped him sit down on the ground and buried her head in his shoulder, unable to restrain herself any longer and burst into tears.
“Wait!” Suddenly, a loud shout interrupted Major Zhang Zekai, who was preparing to retrieve the gravity chain.
It was not Zhang Zekai, but Tang Le.
Everyone’s gaze fell on him, and Elder Yi’s eyes were the most complex.
Tang Le’s gaze was fierce and focused. “Give me a few more minutes. Let me go out. Let me make one last attempt.”
“You want to go out?” Zhang Zekai looked at Yu Muchen.
Yu Muchen said in a low voice, “It’s very dangerous out there, and without having found the target in advance, you’ll be wandering blind.”
“I want to go out.” Tang Le’s eyes suddenly shone, and in that instant, his pupils suddenly dilated, and an indescribably terrifying aura burst out from him. Golden lines began to appear on his skin, and extremely unstable energy fluctuations hovered around him.
Lan Xuanyu was also awakened by Tang Le’s sudden change in aura. The bloodline aura in his blood vortex suddenly became restless along with Tang Le’s aura change.
Yu Muchen’s face darkened, and he was about to say something when Elder Yi said in a deep voice, “Let him try. Perhaps, he really has a chance. It will only take a few minutes, and I will go and ask General Bai Ling for permission.”
While speaking, he approached the front of the communication device and said, “General Bai Ling, this is Yi Zichen from Shrek Academy. Please allow us to activate the star probe again and let one of us explore outside. If there is no discovery within ten minutes, we will return immediately. Please consider this a request from Shrek Academy.”
Yes, Elder Yi was one of the few who could represent Shrek Academy.
On the other side, General Bai Ling’s voice came through, “Elder Yi, I understand your feelings. Ten minutes is fine. But please ensure your safety. All of you currently aboard the star probe are the Federation’s most precious assets.”
