Chapter 738: Chapter 738: Group Captain Tang Appears
In every region, research on food improvent was given the highest priority. Perhaps ordinary people were unable to understand more, but the leaders of the major underground towns were clearer than anyone else.
This winter, on the surface above, there had already been three rounds of extinction-level “sweep” operations.
Now, on the surface, not to ntion food, maybe there wasn’t even grass left, let alone living organisms.
The surface had already beco unsuitable for human habitation.
Yet, underground, people were still being kept in the dark, oblivious to all of this. Many still harbored fantasies that one day, after the dangers on the surface were eliminated, everyone could return to their once ho to live.
In reality, that possibility no longer existed.
Therefore, whether it was a large city or a small town, all were engaged in vigorous research on food improvent, especially in the soilless cultivation of vegetables and grains, which everyone was researching frantically.
The world seed to have suddenly changed into sothing else entirely.
A layer of soil separated the above from the below, creating two completely different worlds.
Above was cold, desolate, and lifeless; below, however, in the dark and narrow space, the tenacity and perseverance of humanity shone through.
Regardless, survival always ca first.
And to be able to survive ant adding a glimr of hope for the future.
It seed everyone was gradually adapting to the new way of life.
From the initial anxiety and tension, even hostility, to the orderly present.
After his hair had turned completely white, Qu Guo’an finally received a bit of news about Tang Zelin.
Although, the ssage had been passed around so much that its authenticity was hard to discern.
But any bit of news about an old friend was still joyous to him.
Inside the group headquarter, after hanging up the internal communication phone, Qu Guo’an paced back and forth in the room with a look of happiness on his face.
Now, the new first battalion commander Ji Dong, who had been promoted after the original commander was transferred to a higher departnt, brought so bad news that knocked on the group headquarter’s door.
Qu Guo’an said, “Co in!”
Ji Dong entered, saluted first, and then stated his purpose.
“Political Commissar, the group captain’s ssage has been cut off.”
“Cut off?!”
The hope that had just risen in Qu Guo’an was extinguished by his subordinate’s words.
“Political Commissar, it won’t do. I’ll lead a team to W province to retrieve them.”
“W province is too far from us. Without a request to the superiors and an order to pass, how can you go there to retrieve them?” Qu Guo’an refused without even thinking about it.
Ji Dong said, “The last ssage from the group captain was in W province. Besides that, we have no other option. We can’t just wait for the two of them to co back on their own, can we? It’s too dangerous.”
Ji Dong’s concerns were obvious, and the sharp-witted Qu Guo’an could think of them just by rolling his eyes.
But the idea of traveling a thousand miles to retrieve soone when the ssage might not even be true made Qu Guo’an hesitate.
He too wanted to see Tang Zelin as soon as possible, but so far, all the ssages he had received were vague, like ‘seems like,’ ‘perhaps,’ ‘maybe,’ without a single accurate ssage.
Qu Guo’an was still not at ease.
What made him uneasy wasn’t just the inaccuracy of the news about Tang Zelin and Su Shu.
Another reason was that he had been pondering all winter and couldn’t quite understand how Tang Zelin and Su Shu had managed to disappear in Underground City C right under everyone’s eyes.
He had many theories. Could it be that the superiors assigned Tang to carry out so special mission, which couldn’t be left in a normal way? Or, did they really encounter so bizarre kidnapping incident? And so on.
