Chapter 155 Other children are picked up
Due to frequent sandstorms and missing persons, the Xie family's expedition team was forced to stay in Lop Nur for nearly two weeks.
Chi Yu looked at the countdown above his task panel which had not yet stopped, and sat in the tent in boredom, waiting for the return of a person who had not disappeared in name.
"Jie Dangjia" sat opposite him, holding a stack of documents that had been flipped through several times, and no one knew what he was looking at.
The sound of the wind outside the tent would often stop temporarily after raging for several hours, and that was the safe time to unwind and go out - like now.
A waiter called out tentatively outside the main tent where Chi Yu was. After getting permission, he opened the door curtain and walked in, saying to Mr. Xie who was sitting in the main seat:
"Boss, the logistics department said that the remaining water and food are only enough for us to search for another three days. If you want to continue searching, you can only leave the no-man's land first, replenish your supplies, and then come back to search."
Xie put down what he was holding and said, "Then let's search for another three days. The climate in Lop Nur is dangerous now, and you have taken enough risks."
After saying that, he looked at Chi Yu who was sitting beside him, thought for a moment, and said, "Chi Yu..."
Chi Yu glanced at him, and the other party quickly changed his words.
"The terrain of Lop Nur is complex. Although the guide knows this place well, two surveyors also disappeared with him. No matter what the result is, we have to give an explanation to the Forestry Academy. So I have to trouble Military Advisor Chi to pay more attention."
...With such acting skills, what's wrong with those guys? Can't anyone see that something is wrong?
Seeing that Jie Dangjia was trying to avoid him, Chi Yu snorted, glanced at the display of the Moyu map, and turned to the guy and said:
"This sandstorm is over and will not come back for a long time. Your activities today will not be affected by weather factors. Just remember to return to the camp before dark."
The waiter responded, "So, Military Advisor Chi, is it still the same today?"
Chi Yu responded with a "hmm": "Everything remains the same. Search according to the map I provided and pay attention to the outside world. There will be no additional danger."
After getting the news, the waiter quickly pulled back the curtain and went out, leaving only Chi Yu and Jie Dangjia in the tent.
Mr. Xie watched the man leave, sighed, picked up the document he had just put down, and started reading it again.
Chi Yu also sighed leisurely: "You hold it upside down."
The hand that was flipping through the document paused for a moment, turned the text around, and rewound it. He seemed to have endured it again and again, and finally looked up at Chi Yu: "Military Advisor Chi, if you are really bored, how about going out with those guys to relax?"
"not so good."
Chi Yu crossed his legs and rested his left elbow on the table. He held his face with one hand and tapped the fingers of his right hand rhythmically on the table.
His light-colored eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone sounded a little nonchalant: "I'm already giving you face by not leaving now, Mr. Jie, if you want me to do something for you, it's not enough to just talk."
Xie Dangjia choked for a moment, but quickly recovered: "Then you can't just come over and sit here with me every day, doing nothing but staring at me."
It's really creepy, he thought.
For some reason, when they first met, Chi Yu liked to stare at him all the time.
At that time, he was very alert to the source of this strange gaze and subconsciously glared back. As a result, he instantly felt an indescribable terror descending upon him.
He still cannot forget the feeling of being completely locked up, as if his life would be brutally snatched away in the next second. Even with the comfort from his boss, it was only slightly alleviated.
Although he had successfully become desensitized to Chi Yu's gaze after this period of contact, he still couldn't bear to be in the same space with such a dangerous person.
So the boss is worthy of being the boss, Batu thought. He only hoped that the boss could come back sooner. If they continued to get along like this, he might die young.
No matter how eagerly Batu looked forward to Xie Yuchen's return, those words could not really reach his ears.
After successfully leaving the expedition team, Xie Yuchen left Lop Nur in disguise.
The factional disputes within the Xie family became more intense as he grew older. Those relatives who chose to return after the Xie family was revived could naturally get a share of the pie by relying on their status.
Everyone knows that Xie Yuchen is the head of the Xie family, but the Xie family has more than just the voice of Xie. They all act independently and some even want to go beyond Xie Yuchen's authority and seize more power from the family.
Those complicated relationships were intertwined and twisted into a rope, becoming a constraint on Xie Yuchen.
If Xie Yuchen wants to solve this problem completely, then there is only one most convenient way.
To be honest, Xie Yuchen once hesitated about this. He was not sure whether he should do this, but he also knew very well what the consequences of being soft-hearted would be.
Xie Yuchen has suffered a lot due to his age. He does not need the slow death brought by hesitation. What he needs is the rebirth brought by change.
It was a plan that affected the entire body, so before that, Xie Yuchen had to ensure that all links were under his control.
And when everyone's eyes were on him, it was difficult for Xie Yuchen to let go and do what he really wanted to do - even when he came to Lop Nur, there were still spies from other factions in this team.
Xie Yuchen knew that this was unavoidable, so he chose to show those people the calm movement of "nothing happening" in order to hit the target with one blow.
He took advantage of the time bought by Chi Yu to secretly set up a trap that those people could not detect. Before the two-week deadline, he returned to Lop Nur with two other people wearing human skin masks, wrapped in a robe filled with sand.
"There are no signal base stations in the uninhabited area. We should set the beacon and location in advance."
"No beacon is needed." Chi Yu said.
Behind his calm tone was his confidence in his own abilities. Chi Yu looked at Jie Yuchen, his light-colored eyes reflecting him.
"You can choose a place you like, or not. As long as you return to Lop Nur and stay in one place for more than an hour, I will bring people to find you."
This sounded a bit unreliable, so Xie Yuchen asked him: "I'm not sure when I can complete those arrangements. The time fluctuates too much. Without a beacon, how can you be sure that I'm back?"
"I told you, you just have to trust me."
Chi Yu chuckled at this, he stretched out his hand and nodded at Xie Yuchen: "No matter where you are, I will find you."
Xie Yuchen stopped beside a small sand dune. He looked at the sky and exhaled a puff of mist. "We'll wait here for an hour."
"Don't we need to fire a signal gun?" one of them asked.
"There is no such thing."
The two men looked at each other, did not refute Xie Yuchen's words, and rested in this selected shelter.
Xie Yuchen knew what they would think because of this sentence, but he didn't care.
Because there are some things that he will never believe unless he experiences them himself.
Xie Yuchen sat on the highest point of the sand dune, looking at the barren Gobi Desert in the distance, waiting for time to pass.
An hour is up.
He stood up and several figures appeared in the distance. The person leading them was dressed in black, which was Xie Yuchen's most familiar signature outfit. It was Chi Yu.
"Let's go." Xie Yuchen smiled, "He's here to pick me up."
