Chapter 1390: Chapter 1390: Searching for the teorite
Ling Feng nodded: "Okay!"
Lin Xue looked at the computer, then raised her head: "There’s no report yet, it might have just happened, and the information exchange hasn’t concluded."
"Then let’s wait a bit."
Ling Feng also didn’t know what she ant by information exchange, so he nodded and sat down.
Exchanging glances, Lin Xue looked at him: "Have you found anything new this ti?"
"That’s right, and it’s quite significant. When you get to the Nine Heavens and et Fei’er, you’ll understand!" Ling Feng laughed.
Lin Xue responded with an "oh," then turned to look at the screen: "When are you free?"
"Why? Do you have sothing in mind?" Ling Feng asked.
"I’m planning to return to the Demon Capital soon, co with ," Lin Xue said.
"Sure, I was planning to visit Uncle Lin anyway," Ling Feng nodded.
"Mhm."
Lin Xue nodded, a slight smile appearing at her lips.
But before she could speak, the computer screen refreshed with a piece of the latest information.
"After verification, a teorite from beyond the heavens fell in Gudu County, 300 kiloters away. It’s a desolate mountainous area," Lin Xue stated.
"Do we have specific coordinates?" Ling Feng asked.
Lin Xue shook her head: "Just a general area, that teor disintegrated mid-air, and fragnts might be scattered within a radius of several kiloters!"
"Alright, I’ll go see what’s going on," Ling Feng nodded.
"I’ll go with you. It’s not just you, many people who observed this are heading there!" Lin Xue got up and said.
Ling Feng was stunned for a mont: "Many people? Why?"
"This teorite has substantial economic value. A piece of just over ten grams can sell for tens of thousands. Most people are going there to get rich," Lin Xue explained.
Ling Feng was a bit speechless and laughed: "Is that possible?"
"Yes, teorites from beyond the heavens have high research value, and so people like to collect them, so they’ve beco quite sought after in recent years."
As they talked, the two left the building, and after getting in the car, Ling Feng asked: "Aren’t you on duty?"
"With sudden events, I can arrange my schedule freely!" Lin Xue replied.
Ling Feng nodded without saying more and drove away from Longyuan.
The 300 kiloters were not a short distance. The car got on the nearest highway entrance and began speeding down the highway.
The sky gradually brightened, and it wasn’t until the sun ca out that they arrived near the destination.
After leaving the highway, based on the location Lin Xue provided, they were still 30 kiloters away from where the teorite fell, but the remaining road wasn’t easy.
Especially after entering the mountains, there was no road, just a rudintary dirt path, unsuitable for regular cars and SUVs.
The rugged vehicle could only go about ten kiloters further before there was practically no road left, so they had to stop.
Ling Feng and Lin Xue got out of the car, looked at the desolate mountain forest around them, and began hiking into the mountains.
Though they set out promptly, what they didn’t expect was that by the ti they climbed a hill and saw the scene in the distance, they were a bit taken aback.
The valley already had quite a few people, scattered across several square kiloters of wilderness, searching for teorite fragnts!
"The power of money is really terrifying. Where did they all co from?" Ling Feng asked, sowhat speechlessly.
"They should all be locals from this county, it’s nearby, so they arrived quickly!" Lin Xue said lightly.
"Let’s go then, maybe soone has already picked up fragnts. If they’re just ordinary teorites, there’s no need to search further!"
Ling Feng uttered, naturally embracing her waist, and then leaped down the hill.
In the wilderness, there were more than a hundred people searching, no one noticed the sudden appearance of these two.
After arriving, Ling Feng and Lin Xue didn’t rush to ask these people about their findings; instead, they took steps, slowly walking through the mountain.
anwhile, Ling Feng extended his divine sense for a scan.
Unfortunately, he could only see within a thousand-ter radius of treasure seekers, unable to distinguish which stones were teorite fragnts and which had always been there.
Feeling helpless, he said to Lin Xue: "Looks like we have to try our luck too."
"Nothing particularly unusual suggests they’re just ordinary teorites, and that’s good, saves us so trouble!" Lin Xue chuckled.
"That’s true!"
Ling Feng nodded and started walking towards the hill ahead.
Two young n approached from the opposite side, chatting and laughing, as if they were there for an outing rather than treasure hunting.
When passing by Lin Xue, both couldn’t help but glance at her a few more tis.
After all, her delicate features and her unique, courageous aura naturally attracted attention.
But Lin Xue didn’t mind the gazes of others; she had grown used to such situations after many encounters.
As they passed, the two young n suddenly stopped, and one of them said: "Miss, are you here to look for the teorite too?"
"Yes!"
Lin Xue nodded, then asked: "Have you found anything?"
"Not yet, but you shouldn’t go ahead; the area was already thoroughly searched, and there’s nothing there!" the young man said.
Lin Xue made an "oh" sound: "Thank you!"
With that, she didn’t say more and continued walking forward.
The two young n glanced at each other, and the one who spoke couldn’t help but say: "If you want to find the teorite, why not co with us? We know where there might be so!"
Lin Xue paused: "Really? How do you know?"
"We just know, don’t worry, we’re not trying to deceive you, it’s true!" the young man said.
Lin Xue said nothing, glancing at Ling Feng.
"Since the two young n are willing to share, let’s walk with them then!" Ling Feng smiled, reaching out to take Lin Xue’s hand.
The two young n then realized the two were a couple and felt a bit regretful.
But since they had already said it, it was hard to backtrack, so they simply nodded: "Alright, let’s head north!"
So, their group of two turned into four, walking together toward the north.
On the way, Ling Feng looked at the two: "You’re both still students, right?"
"Yes, we’re students at the Electric Power Institute!"
The two young n nodded, with one of them saying: "I’m Ma Hao, and this is Sun Lei. And how should we address you two?"
"I’m Ling Feng, and this is Lin Xue!"
Ling Feng didn’t conceal it and directly introduced himself, then proceeded to ask: "Your school isn’t far from here, right?"
"Yes, just 20 kiloters away in Gudu County," Ma Hao nodded.
"Not that close either, you sure ca early," Ling Feng laughed.
"Indeed, when we saw the teor fall last night, we jumped over the wall and biked here directly!" Sun Lei said.
