Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Hydrogen Thought naturally sensed Zhong Chenmu's brief but weighty message.

There is a strong pressure contained in it.

At the beginning, when Zhong Chenmu told him about this possibility, he was still a little skeptical, but now judging from Zhong Chenmu's firm message, it has most likely come true.

"At first, the clan leader was still confident that these cosmic hooligans had been driven away to the other side of the universe. Unexpectedly, they returned so quickly..."

Hydrogen Nian did not dare to delay. After quickly verifying the situation, he reported to Hydrogen Ao immediately.

"Marshal, at Zhong Chenmu's suggestion, we did some surveillance work. We have to say that the cosmic rogues are as cunning as ever. They chose to possess a very ordinary couple, and perhaps to avoid being discovered, they even adhered to some of the host's living habits, such as buying breakfast at the same breakfast shop. However, they were still discovered by Zhong Chenmu's teammates. During the escape, they switched hosts. The original host fell into the river and drowned, and the new host is missing. We are currently investigating..."

Before the message was fully delivered, it was rudely interrupted by Hydrogen Ao: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Report to me when you find them! Otherwise, what's the point of just telling me the status? I don't care about the process, I only care about the result. The result is, I want them to die outside our territory, and don't alarm Chief Hydrogen Memory!"

Hydrogen Thought could only lower his head and explain, "It's mainly because the people in Nameless City have such backward communication methods. Of all the people in Nameless City, we can only locate Zhong Chenmu's position in real time—of course, that's assuming he's not on guard against us and we can sense him while he's constructing information in his mind... As for anyone else, unless we lock onto them ahead of time, it's very difficult to track them down. Even if we lock onto someone like Pierce, as long as we don't send someone to keep an eye on him, he'll likely disappear from our sight, and it'll take a long time to find him again."

"Are you saying that we now have fewer means to use against these cosmic thugs than before? Just because they possessed the bodies of people in the backward Nameless City?"

"Yes, they are too backward, so it's difficult to monitor them. Furthermore, when the clan leader recreated their bodies, he didn't perform any advanced evolutionary treatments."

"I remember that proactively intervening in the civilization of Wuming City to better defend against cosmic rogues has been our strategy to this day. Now you're telling me that this strategy is even more troublesome to implement? Which idiot came up with this strategy..."

Just as Hydrogen Ao was about to get angry, he realized in a flash that he was the initiator of this strategy, so he swallowed back what he was about to say.

If he had not been attracted by Pierce's river sacrifice ceremony and the graceful figures of the Twelve Apostles, how could he have been exposed?

Hydronian wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. He still kept his head down, not daring to look at Hydron Ao.

"..."

Hydrogen Ao quickly found his point from another perspective: "Well, since the cosmic gangsters have already arrived in Wuming City, there's no need for us to expend a lot of energy to find them, at least not at this stage. We should continue to advance the 'Reunification' plan and make Wuming City even more chaotic. In the process, perhaps the cosmic gangsters will die out without us having to do anything. When they are both defeated, we can finally put an end to everything. Until then, we only need to strictly monitor the passage between Taibai Star and Wuming City, as well as the three border disturbances you have experienced."

Before Hydrogen Thoughts could answer, he added, "This is still our best option."

Hydrogen Thoughts softly warned, "That's good, but I don't think the civilization of Wuming City can fight the cosmic hooligans to a point of mutual destruction."

"Will you die if you don't speak? Just follow the instructions resolutely!" Hydrogen Ao was a little impatient.

"......Yes."

......

The meeting room in the Linjiang Building advance team's office area was already dead silent.

There were actually five people in the room, but they were all leaning weakly against their chairs, exhausted.

Before the silence, the place experienced the saddest emotions that the people in Nameless City could think of and experience.

And the crying and tears that this emotion brings about.

Whether it is the disappearance of parents or the loss of contact with wife and children, these are all things that happened at the "singularity moment". They will only stir and roll in people's memories. How can this unforgettable level compare to the loss of both parents in reality?

Therefore, when Zhu Tong heard the news from Zhong Chenmu, any reaction he made was understandable to the other four people.

After all, she is only a seven-year-old child.

At this time, Zhu Tong had cried until her voice was hoarse and her tears had dried up. Her big eyes, which were once watery, had lost their luster. She lay woodenly on the chair, her eyes unfocused, not knowing where to look.

Fan Ting stroked her hair and back silently, unable to say a word.

Guo Ling looked at her with complicated eyes, which contained tenderness, sympathy and sadness.

He looked at Zhu Tong and couldn't help but think of his son again: "If he couldn't contact me and thought I was missing or even dead, would he be so sad?"

In the end, it was Old Man Liu who was the first to break free from this dead silence.

He coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "Everyone, please accept my condolences. The dead cannot be resurrected. I have experienced several such life and death separations. Whether it is normal or abnormal, we must always look forward."

Then, he looked at Zhu Tong and continued, "Little Tong, I support Captain Zhong's actions. Next, you need to consider whether you still want to stay with us. Of course, we very much hope to take you with us. Regardless of whether our advance team remains independent or not, and regardless of how severe the challenges or fierce the enemies we face, we don't want to abandon you. Because, as you always say: a family must be together."

Zhong Chenmu interrupted, "I was the first to say this, but I don't mind transferring the ownership to Xiaotong."

The two people's words were like a breeze in the extremely solemn atmosphere of the conference room.

Guo Ling and Fan Ting also said to Zhu Tong: "Little Tong, wherever we are, that is your home."

As time passed, Zhu Tong's expression began to regain some redness.

She blinked, pursed her lips, tilted her head, and said childishly, "I'm not leaving. I want to stay with you. From now on, Grandpa Liu is my grandpa, Brother Xiao Zhong is my brother, and Uncle Guo and Sister Fan are my parents!"
