Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

At this time, Ye Minglang discovered that his parents were not in the dormitory either. He went to the cafeteria to look for them. The chef in the cafeteria said that he had not seen Ye Minglang's parents come, and he had not seen them come to eat at noon.

Ye Minglang went to the nearby high ground and looked into the distance, but there was still no sign of his parents. The key point was that the phone could not be dialed, indicating that the phone was out of service area.

Ye Minglang called Gulinar again, but the number was still out of service area.

He finally sensed something was terribly wrong and quickly called Wu Yongjie. "Captain Wu, I've discovered something really bad, but I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, or if it's significant..."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Wu Yongjie was a little impatient.

"I found that the secretary, my parents, and Gulinar's phone numbers were all disconnected. In other words, they are all missing."

"What?" Wu Yongjie was stunned for two seconds and said, "Call the police."

"Call the police?" Ye Minglang had some opinions. After all, although these four people could not make phone calls at the same time and were missing, it might just be a coincidence.

Wu Yongjie said, "Call the police immediately and tell them there's a missing person in the camp and they need their help finding him."

Ye Minglang did not dare to be careless and immediately called the police.

Just after I finished calling the police, I received another call from Wu Yongjie. He said solemnly, "Xiao Ye, something's not right today, but I can't get out. I have to stay in the tunnel. Nothing can happen here. I must stay here. If the tunnel is there, I'm here. If the tunnel is gone, I'm gone. So I can't leave this tunnel today until we get to the bottom of the missing explosives..."

I can't get through to Ling Fengxi on the phone. Maybe something happened. I'm relying on you for everything out there."

Ye Minglang felt as if his shoulders were suddenly heavy, as if they were carrying several sacks. However, he still agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, Captain Wu, there won't be any chaos outside, and nothing will happen in the tunnel either."

Regardless of whether something happens or not, Wu Yongjie has to stay in the tunnel. This is Wu Yongjie's firm idea.

Ye Minglang hung up the phone and realized Fang Ya was right beside him. She smiled slightly and asked, "Captain Wu is guarding the tunnel?"

Ye Minglang nodded and said, "But the tunnel has been checked, and there's nothing wrong."

Fang Ya nodded. "Why is Captain Wu Captain Wu? Why is he able to lead such a strong engineering team to complete this almost impossible engineering task? Because he is Wu Lao Hu. When it comes to critical moments, his ideas and actions naturally have their reasons."

After Fang Ya finished speaking, she returned to the medical room, changed her clothes, took her lunch box to the cafeteria to get some food, and then went to the tunnel.

Of course, Wu Yongjie was happy to see Fang Ya.

"Yaya, you're so thoughtful. Everyone is very busy today. These guys all know that I didn't have lunch, but no one remembered to bring me one."

"Don't act like you're being aggrieved. Your workers have worked hard today. They started the inspection without even having a meal when they returned to the camp. When I arrived just now, they were already eating in groups under the organization of Ye Minglang and Lin Jinghui."

Wu Yongjie asked again, "How about you? Have you eaten yet?"

Only then did Fang Ya realize that she was so busy bringing food to Wu Yongjie that she forgot to eat herself. When Wu Yongjie asked her this, her stomach growled.

Wu Yongjie couldn't hide the distress on his face, and directly put half an egg from the lunch box to her mouth, "Eat."

He was quite imposing when he ordered people, and Fang Ya actually felt that she couldn't refuse, so she obediently opened her mouth and bit the egg. Wu Yongjie said, "Go back to the camp quickly. Be more stable. If anything happens there, you can at least take care of it. I don't feel safe leaving a bunch of young people there."

Fang Ya hummed, "I'm a little worried about Ling Fengxi, too. He's always been a man of his word. It's strange that he's suddenly disappeared without a trace. I just saw Ayala running around the camp. She must be looking for Ling Fengxi."

Wu Yongjie was already very clear about what happened between Ayala and Ling Fengxi at this time. He was very emotional and said, "Yaya, Lao Ling is a good person, but he is too indecisive when it comes to feelings. The reason you missed him is not your fault, but his. Let's not make the same mistake in the future. We can't miss each other."

In fact, Fang Ya has never responded positively to Wu Yongjie's pursuit of her, but today, she especially wants to take this matter seriously.

When she heard Wu Yongjie's voice coming from Ye Minglang's phone, and the words "As long as the tunnel is there, I am here. If the tunnel is dead, I am dead", her heart, which had been numbed by the failed relationship, suddenly felt a sharp pain and tightened. At the same time, it was as if her heart was suddenly cut open by a knife, and her heart, which was about to close and become numb, suddenly came alive.

At this moment, she actually took the initiative to lean her body towards Wu Yongjie.

Wu Yongjie sensed it and put down the lunch box in his hand. He was usually bold, but now he became cautious, "Yaya, you——"

Fang Ya finally leaned herself completely into his arms, then raised her head, her originally stubborn eyes now tender and affectionate, "Old Wu, I think we definitely won't miss it."

Wu Yongjie's face flushed red, and his heart began to beat rapidly, but his movements were very stiff. He was a little at a loss, until Fang Ya took one of his hands and pressed it against her chest. "Old Wu, the tunnel will be fine, and neither will you. I don't want to go back to the camp. I want to stay here with you."

"Yaya, I, I, I..." Wu Yongjie, who has always been eloquent and good at retorting, was like a big stutterer at this time, which made Fang Ya laugh.

"I can't bear to see you alone in such a long tunnel. Didn't you say we shouldn't miss each other? Not missing each other means being together, life or death."

"Yaya!" What else could Wu Yongjie say.

He called her name excitedly and hugged her tightly.

Looking up, the tunnel was really long, so long that the entrance and exit could not be seen. The whole lighting was dependent on the lights inside the tunnel. The light was a bit weird, and the two seemed to be no longer on the earth, but on a lonely star in the sky. There was no one else in the world but them.

……

While Wu Yongjie finally found his own love, things in the camp were not that simple. It was getting dark and the police arrived, but they still had no clues after investigation.

Based on various analyses, it can be basically confirmed that Ling Fengxi may have entered the mountains.

Including Gulinar and the two elderly people, they may have all gone into the mountains, because after the police arrived and interrogated the workers, some workers gradually provided some information, saying that they saw Gulinar, the two elderly people, and Ling Fengxi, enter the mountains one after another.

The workers had not provided this information before because they had been looking for explosives. They didn't find the explosives, but the people were missing. In addition, Ye Minglang called the police mainly to find people, so the information gradually gathered.
