Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Chapter 1135: Chapter 717: Third Uncle’s Misunderstanding, Greeting (Part 2)

Li Yu was silent for a moment. In that instant, he almost wanted to rush out and lead the search personally.

But reason told him that dashing out recklessly was not the right choice.

They hadn’t figured anything out yet. He hadn’t even seen the person. What if that person was just a decoy? What if there was an ambush waiting?

The drone hovered in the air for two minutes, and Luo and others finally arrived.

Luo looked around but saw no sign of anyone. Then he looked at the drone hovering in the sky and asked, ”Where did the person run off to?”

Li Yu’s eyes were full of solemnity as he slowly spoke, ”Tell Luo to come back.”

Li Tie then used the walkie-talkie to say to Luo, ”Luo, that person is long gone. My brother wants you to come back. Withdraw.”

Luo’s expression was like constipation, utterly stifled.

It was embarrassing.

They only saw a glimpse at the start, and then never saw anyone again.

Moreover, according to Li Tie, the person was carrying someone, and they still couldn’t catch up, despite their prior military experience.

Embarrassing, truly embarrassing.

Luo blushed, lowered his gun slightly, and spoke into the walkie-talkie, ”Director Li, I want to track them further to see if I can find anything.”

Li Yu frowned, took out the walkie-talkie, and said, ”Don’t pursue further; it’s meaningless. The four of you can’t handle him. Come back!”

Hearing Li Yu’s voice, Luo, despite his reluctance, had to comply.

”Xiao Ding, Xiao Liu, Ma, let’s go back.” Luo said in a bad mood to the team members beside him.

”But we haven’t caught him yet!?” Xiao Liu said somewhat unwillingly.

”Chase, chase, chase—why didn’t we catch him just now? That guy was even carrying someone! Embarrassing, so embarrassing!” Luo shouted at Xiao Liu, a bit exasperated.

The others felt ashamed, just as the captain said. It was truly embarrassing.

They chased for over ten minutes without catching up.

Li Yu looked at the mountains and forests surrounding the drone, finding it somewhat familiar, and said, ”Luo and his team should have passed High Mountain Corner by now, right?”

Second Uncle looked at the drone screen, nodded, and confirmed, ”Yes, they have. This is past High Mountain Corner, about 3 kilometers from the base.”

”From the first sighting to losing sight of him, how long did it take?” Li Yu asked.

Li Tie had just checked the time and replied, ”Less than ten minutes.”

Less than ten minutes, three kilometers, and not on flat ground but in the complex terrain of mountains and forests, plus carrying someone.

This speed—Li Tie clearly understood what it meant. Even in the military, it was extremely rare.

Luo and his team, looking like defeated soldiers, returned dejectedly to the construction site at the Third Outer City.

The drone also flew back from the forest to the duty room.

Soon, Li Tie took out the recorder from it and projected it onto a large screen for everyone to view.

Everyone stared at the large screen, watching from start to finish. Li Tie paused at a frame that showed the person’s profile.

After watching, Li Yu was secretly shocked. This person’s running speed, just as Li Tie had said, was not that of an ordinary person.

However, Li Yu also noticed that when the drone first spotted the person, he pulled out a dagger, seemingly ready to take the drone down.

But for some reason, this person didn’t act.

By now, many people had gathered in the duty room to view the footage recorded by the drone’s recorder.

Ju Tianrui, Luo, Old Bi, Old Lv, Dapao, Li Hang, and others had all come here.

”This person must have been in the military,” Luo suddenly said.

Second Uncle asked puzzled, ”How can you tell?”

Luo thought for a moment and said, ”It’s just a feeling. I can’t exactly explain it, but I feel this person must have been in the military and for quite some time.”

Ju Tianrui nodded and said, ”I feel the same way. The tactical running movements seem very familiar, don’t they?”

Luo slapped his thigh and said, ”Exactly, that’s it.”

”Could he be from the Western Alliance?” Li Hang suddenly asked.

As soon as he said this, everyone fell into contemplation.

Old Lv, staring at the child on the person’s back, hesitated before saying, ”Probably not. The Western Alliance is so far from us; it doesn’t make sense to bring a child along, wasting time and effort. If he were from the Western Alliance scouting, he would definitely prioritize avoiding exposure.

But according to Li Tie, when we discovered him, he ran away without leaving the child behind, which suggests a deep relationship—likely a father and son.”

Luo, who had also been to the Orange Continent, added, ”The Western Alliance, based on the interrogations of Gao Ru and Hai Chao, shouldn’t have such a person. Besides, when we went to the Orange Continent, we didn’t encounter anyone capable of such things.”

Second Uncle looked at Dapao and Yang Tianlong and asked, ”You’ve just seen the video. Can any of you do what this person did?”

Upon hearing this.

Dapao directly shook his head and said, ”Difficult, probably can’t do it.”

Yang Tianlong hesitated a bit; he didn’t know if he could do it. The point was, he wasn’t confident enough.
