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.
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…
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.
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.
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.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes were somewhat lifeless. He had to retract his spiritual power because he could no longer clearly sense everything outside.
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.”
“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.
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.
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.”
