Void Jigsaw Puzzle

In Zhong Chenmu's memory, there is an old proverb, which goes, "There is always a way out."

It was unknown how long after the ancient man uttered this sentence, but in another corner of the universe, it was verified again.

The "Element Node Method" he came up with in a flash was implemented and verified by Helium B, and the six people easily left the central water supply system under the dome and appeared again at the Houkun River.

"Long time no see..." Tan Ping squinted his eyes, which had not yet adapted to the new world, and muttered to himself.

After staying in the underground world for too long, everyone except Hei Yi was trying to adjust their five senses.

"It feels so good to be free!" Guo Ling opened his arms and shouted loudly towards the river.

Fan Ting patted his shoulder and said, "Could you please not be so flamboyant?"

Guo Ling narrowed his eyes and grinned: "If I don't show off now, I'll get old. I was trapped underground just now, and I finally thought it through. I don't care who I love!"

Earlier, on the central water supply system, he had noticed that Fan Ting was quite interested in Zhang Chuyu, occasionally flirting with him, but Zhang Chuyu was like a block of wood, not responding to Fan Ting at all. Guo Ling felt a little complicated, although he couldn't explain why.

He speculated that Zhang Chuyu might be Fan Ting's unforgettable first love. He had originally disbelieved such coincidences, but after Hou Chang's incident happened to him, he became convinced. Why couldn't something similar happen to Fan Ting?

Moreover, looking at Zhang Chuyu's performance, Guo Ling inferred that Fan Ting would probably encounter a similar result to what he had encountered with Hou Chang, wishfully seeking to reconcile the broken mirror, only to find in the end that the other party had already put another piece of the mirror together.

However, Zhang Chuyu is a bit too cruel. He doesn't even dare to recognize each other?

But Fan Ting still looked like a crazy fan, which made Guo Ling very unhappy.

Zhang Chuyu seemed to be unable to believe that he could come out from underground, staring blankly at the other side of the river.

After Zhong Chenmu recovered a little, he looked around. He didn't know how long he had been underground. If the Turtle Clan's goal was to use the Carbon Crown's hasty intention to infect the entire Carbon Clan, it would most likely have already begun.

First of all, we have to find Carbon Crown and the others.

But where are they?

What made Zhong Chenmu feel a little strange was that no matter on the bank of Houkun River, on the spacious central road, or on the "Big Ingot" standing in the distance, there was no abnormal scene. There were cars on the road, pedestrians and tourists on the roadside, and traffic lights changing in an orderly manner. The thrilling experience underground just now did not seem to spread at all.

Ever since the protesters were tamed by sedatives, then ripened and killed by stimulants, the whole situation did not show any sign of an impending crisis.

Others also gradually reacted and had similar questions as Zhong Chenmu.

"Where did they go after they came up? I thought we'd be facing a hellish scene when we got out, but I didn't expect it to be so calm."

Zhong Chenmu looked at He Yi and asked, "Lord He Yi, can you sense their presence?"

After coming out, Helium B will be more useful. After all, there are four people in virtual form in the opposing camp, and they can all be detected by Helium B.

He Yi shook his head. "As soon as I came out, I started looking for them, but until now, I haven't found any trace of them."

Zhong Chenmu was stunned: "Did they escape from here? Through the elemental node?"

"We can't rule out this possibility, but if it's true, it will be troublesome. The universe is so big, where can we find it..." Helium B was quite worried.

Zhong Chenmu shook his head and denied his own judgment: "No, that's not right. They must still be here, at least in the Carbon Clan's territory. The Silicon Clan won't leave until they achieve their goal. What's more, the Hydrogen Clan and Helium Clan's territories are now closed. If they can't return to the Hydrogen Clan and Helium Clan's territories through the elemental nodes, then Hydrogen Ao and the others will not be able to restore their abilities to their full state."

"Well, that's true. As long as they don't return to the Hydrogen and Helium Tribes, it doesn't matter where they are. Why not stay in the Carbon Tribe? With the Tribe leader and a group of senior leaders as hostages, they can move freely."

After hearing Hei Yi's words, Zhong Chenmu smiled and said, "Lord Hei Yi, although you are already in virtual form, your language still contains many words that can only be said in physical form, such as 'walk sideways'."

"Isn't this for your benefit? Even if it's not for your benefit, there are still readers."

"..."

Despite their jokes, the worried expressions on their faces did not fade, and the others soon noticed this as well.

Tan Ping came over with good intentions and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with? After all, I know this place best."

Zhong Chenmu glanced at her gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Tan Ping. I want to ask, do you have any special places like that here?"

Tan Ping had a strange expression on her face: "What's special about it? You're so young, why are you asking such a question?"

Zhang Chuyu laughed beside him and said, "Little brother, don't ask like that. Those of us who ask such questions here are all looking for places like the 'Four Great Entertainment Places' run by Tan Jia."

"...Then let me rephrase the question. Is there any particularly high place?"

"You mean, very high?"

"Yes."

Tan Ping thought for a moment and said, "It really exists. On the northern edge of Houkun City is the highest peak of the entire core P1 star - Tianqian Peak."
