Chapter 155: Bad News
The economic reconstruction projects in the Vu District are being carried out according to the plan. The exploitation of seabed resources has indeed brought a lot of wealth, at least it is more than enough to maintain the construction of the base camp. He now basically doesn't have to worry about economic reconstruction.
The idle Flame finally began to worry about the expedition.
It's been more than a month since Jason and the others went on an expedition to the hidden zone. During the month, she barely heard from them.
She wasn't so much concerned about how it went, but about their safety. Although the monster unravels her, no news is good news. But she felt a vague uneasiness in her heart.
She went to Lucifer's break room to find out some news from him, but she didn't find his figure, but saw a paper newspaper on the table.
Nowadays, paper newspapers are becoming more and more scarce, and they are gradually being replaced by electronic newspapers. But some powerful people subscribe to paper newspapers to show their status.
Xian Xian picked up the newspaper, glanced at it casually, and was immediately attracted by the huge headline.
"There was a sudden mudslide in Yongfeng Mountain in the hidden area, and the lives and deaths of many explorers are unknown"
Xian Xian's hands trembled, and he muttered to himself, "Isn't Yongfeng Mountain the place where Jason and the others went?" ”
"Burning? Do you have something to do with me? As soon as Lucifer returned to the room, he was slightly surprised to see the back of the burner.
He held the newspaper up and asked, "Have you read this report?" ”
Lucifer's face sank, he didn't expect Xianxian to see this report so quickly. He had just left the break room to call the hidden area to verify if this was true and who was on the list of the dead.
"I just checked with Jacques and there's no one of us on the death list." Lucifer replied.
"Jason, did they really go to Yongfeng Mountain?" Xianxian continued to ask.
Lucifer nodded and said, "Jacques said that Jason did leave his signature before venturing into the mountain. ”
"So, Jason, are they now unsure of their fate or death?" Xian Xian's whole person was confused, "No, I have to go to them." ”
She put down the newspaper and rushed out the door, but was clutched by Lucifer.
"Calm me down! What do you think is the use of rushing over like this? ”
She turned her head and looked at Lucifer, her eyes completely moistened.
"You let go, I can't leave them alone!" Xianxian yelled excitedly.
"Xianxian, use your brain to think about it, how can the local newspaper in the hidden area appear here?" Lucifer reminded.
Xianxian looked at him in surprise and asked, "Isn't this the newspaper you and Ryan subscribe to?" ”
Lucifer shook his head and said, "Ryan subscribes to the News of the World and the news from all over the Wu District. ”
Xianxian was stunned, "Then how did this newspaper come from?" ”
"Someone deliberately brought this newspaper in." "That's why I just called Jacques to verify the authenticity of this report." ”
"Although the report is true, this newspaper is too strange." Lucifer frowned.
Xianxian instantly calmed down and said, "Someone wants to lead me to the hidden area for rescue?" ”
Lucifer calmly pondered everything that was happening around him, could it be that there was really a spy in Ryan's mansion?
"Lucifer, I think it's more important to find Jason at the moment." Xian Xian reminded earnestly.
"You're wrong." Lucifer looked at him with a cold expression, "I made it clear just now, even if you rush over immediately, it won't help. You're not a professional rescuer, and you can only add to the chaos in the past. It's safest for you to stay here. ”
"The first thing we should do should be to find the undercover agent." Lucifer said calmly.
"Undercover? At this time, who would pay attention to the undercover thing? "Even if I can't help there, at least I can know their safety first." ”
"Lucifer, I hope you don't stop me." Xian Xian pleaded solemnly.
"Let me think about it, and I'll give you an answer tonight." Lucifer replied.
"Good. I'm waiting for your reply. You can let go of your hands now, right? She pointed to Lucifer's hand, "You're pulling me a little painful." ”
Lucifer immediately let go of her hand, and the red marks on her wrists that had just been grabbed could be faintly seen.
She rubbed her wrist and walked out of the lounge. She didn't expect Lucifer's hand to be so strong, she couldn't break free at all.
Lucifer walked to the window and dialed King's phone.
"Is it okay?" King saw that the caller ID on his phone was Lucifer's number, and immediately answered the call.
"You really care about her." Lucifer scoffed, "Since you care so much, why don't you just let her stay with you?" Trouble us! ”
King smiled and said, "I want to take her with me every day, but she probably doesn't want to!" She shouldn't be bound by me. ”
"Alas, something very strange happened today." Lucifer said with a sigh.
"Oh? What's going on? King asked curiously.
"The local newspaper in the hidden area actually appeared in my break room." Lucifer said, "And Xian happened to see the above report and wanted to go to the scene of the disaster. ”
King pondered in silence before asking, "Who the hell is the spy?" Do you have a suspicion in your mind? ”
Lucifer said speechlessly, "Now the focus is not on spies, but on your family." I'll naturally take care of the scheming matter, but I'll have to ask you for advice on your next move. ”
"Tell me about your concerns." King said calmly.
"I suspect that this mudslide disaster was deliberately planned. And their goal is to burn. "But even if I tell me how dangerous things are, I can't stop her from going." ”
"If you know you can't stop me, why bother asking me?" King smiled and asked, "You're as cunning as ever, and you always want to put the blame on someone else." ”
"Let's not say anyone's." Lucifer muttered.
"Let her go. Stopping her now will only make things worse. If she runs to the scene without permission, it will only be more dangerous. King said.
"What about the deployment of personnel?" Lucifer continued.
"In order to lure the snake out of the hole, we can't send too many people." King said.
"You're going to use her as bait?" Lucifer was surprised, he didn't expect King to do this.
"Only by using all available resources can we accomplish the task efficiently." King smiled and said, "She'll understand." ”
"Aren't you afraid of what if?"
