Chapter 584: Condition 584
Mainly, it would be great if these Spirit Plants could be stored in my own Storage Bag.
Seeing others harvest more valuable Spirit Plants, who wouldn’t be tempted? These are all Spirit Stones. Many, many Spirit Stones. People die for wealth, just like birds die for food, an eternal truth.
Although the place where they were transported wasn’t the Medicine Garden, there were still plenty of Spirit Plants. For the past two months, most people haven’t left here.
Disciples of the Sect, having more experience than Loose Cultivators, found this very unusual.
However, Loose Cultivators thought that sect disciples just wanted to monopolize everything, so they simply didn’t listen to them.
As a result, no one wanted to leave. Everyone just lingered here.
The father and son were unaware of this situation as they walked in their direction.
Their harvest along the way truly made them happy, really happy. Qi Hong was happy because he now had materials for Alchemy when he returned.
"Dad, why haven’t we seen any demon beasts in a long time?"
"I don’t know either. You all must be careful. We encountered so many demon beasts earlier, it’s impossible there are none here. So be extremely cautious.
Also, these are tags; take one each. If we are forcibly separated, no matter who, you must find a way out. We will be waiting outside."
Tan Shaoting had thought for a long time and decided to do this. After all, the unpredictable future holds unknown events. He might not be able to ensure his children’s safety in times of crisis.
So it’s safer for everyone to have a tag.
The four of them were extremely cautious. But for several days, nothing happened.
"Dad, why haven’t we met anyone?"
Tan Shaoting was also puzzled, "I can’t say for sure. Let’s just be careful."
At night, while they rested, Tan Shaoting still held the three children as they slept.
Only in the stillness of the night did Tan Shaoting think about his wife.
How is she now? She’s probably very sad, right?
Does she think of me now? She must. Although, in her heart, I’m not as important as the children, I must still cross her mind.
Tan Shaoting found it a bit amusing; in his previous life, he constantly thought about returning to the Cultivation World. But now that he’s back, he wants to leave.
Meanwhile, Su Yuanyuan was having a meal. The three of them didn’t stop at night either. Shao Hongming was initially worried Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t hold up, but she showed no unusual reaction at all.
That night, they set up a fire, boiled water, and toasted bread to eat.
"Su Yuanyuan, are you okay?"
"I’m fine; I’ll speak up if I can’t hold on."
They were in a hurry, as the archaeologists were expected to arrive in about five days.
But at their current speed, they should arrive in three days. That would be perfect timing for them.
"I didn’t expect you to be interested in these things," Shao Hongming said with a smile.
"I’m curious because I haven’t seen them before."
"Even if you had seen them before, you probably wouldn’t remember, right?"
"Yes, but I probably haven’t seen them before. Mainly because I didn’t have time.
From what I understand, I never had the chance to be involved with these things before."
"Actually, if you really like this, you can follow the archaeological team."
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I still don’t know now. I’ll see after we arrive. And if I can’t let go, I can’t do anything."
"Su Yuanyuan, do you think they’re still alive?" This was a question everyone wanted to ask, but no one did.
Shao Hongming couldn’t help but ask.
"They’re definitely still alive. It’s just that we can’t find them now."
Listening to Su Yuanyuan’s firm tone, Shao Hongming felt a bit uncomfortable. Wasn’t this the emblem of a woman deeply in love with that man?
According to normal reasoning, the chance they survived is zero. Only Su Yuanyuan believed they were still alive.
Shao Hongming realized Su Yuanyuan held on to this belief as a mental pillar, a form of self-deception.
But who could say anything against that? This is a woman’s, a mom’s thought, unrelated to others.
But this meant his pursuit of her was hopeless, right?
Watching Su Yuanyuan quietly drinking water nearby, Shao Hongming suddenly laughed. What’s the harm? Tan Shaoting and the children live on in her heart. He still held out considerable hope.
After dinner, they continued moving forward, with Zheng Xiaodong driving at night.
Su Yuanyuan sat in front, while Shao Hongming slept in the back; he had to drive tomorrow. The orderly, Zheng Xiaodong, was very competent, with no distractions, though he occasionally thought his leader was different.
The two didn’t speak the entire time. Both were not fond of talking.
Su Yuanyuan just leaned back with her eyes closed. In fact, she already knew that she could go several days and nights without sleep.
She simply didn’t let others know that. So, as long as she was in the car, she closed her eyes.
At dawn, the three entered the city, mainly to refuel. It was a chance to have a meal in the city.
Su Yuanyuan didn’t like the taste here, but as it was freshly cooked, she ate until she was full.
Then Zheng Xiaodong went to the back to sleep, and Su Yuanyuan took over driving.
"Su Yuanyuan, after this mission, I’ll have a few months off. If you need anything, you can find me."
"Okay."
"Su Yuanyuan, can’t you try? During that experiment, you didn’t react at all.
It’s too dangerous. You really don’t need to take such risks."
"I have to do this. My children might be waiting for me.
What if, if I don’t succeed?"
"Then what can we do? Keep searching. I refuse to believe there won’t be any news."
"Who knows where the tornado on the ocean will take us."
"No matter where it takes us, I insist on seeing the living or dead, never leaving it unresolved."
"But human capability is limited."
"So I’ll just do what I must and can do."
With that, Shao Hongming had nothing more to say.
"Su Yuanyuan, if I have a problem, could you come and help me?"
Su Yuanyuan looked at Shao Hongming, "What problems could you have? My ability is really limited. You will find I’m only lucky to have accomplished what I have. It’s not because of any exceptional strength."
"Luck is a form of capability too. Su Yuanyuan, if I really run into difficulties, please help me."
"Sure, if I can’t help, then there’s nothing I can do."
