Wang Ye quickly increased his strength.

The third day of the joint operation ended.

By the time he returned to the assembly point, Wang Ye’s gains were huge.

After the search and rescue of Wangzhai Town was completed, he and Yu Shuiqin started searching the next area, Dayu Village, in the afternoon.

“You have already gone to Dayu Village?” Song Shuyi widened her eyes and turned to look at Huang Zirui.

The latter was wiping his silver-white spear, pretending not to hear her, but his slightly twitching facial muscles betrayed him.

“We’ve only just completed half of the search and rescue in Qinyin Town…” Song Shuyi stuffed a bun into her mouth and muttered, “Brother Rui and 1 are too slow.”

“Don’t talk about me. You’re the one who’s slow!!” Huang Zirui was roaring in his heart, but he remained silent and wiped his weapon seriously.

“It’s good to be slow. You can be more meticulous and not miss anyone,” Yu Shuiqin comforted.

“But not only is she slow, she’s also careless. The refugee in the basement was right under her nose and she missed him…” Huang Zirui complained in his heart.

Wang Ye looked at Huang Zirui’s despairing expression. Although he shouldn’t have, he still snickered a few times.

It was like a powerful ADC paired with Yasuo as support.

Wang Ye walked over and patted Huang Zirui on the shoulder. The latter turned around and forced a smile politely as if he was saying, “Brother, you know me best.”

“Did you bring any healing potions? Mine are finished. It’s best if it’s the newest HF3,” Wang Ye smiled brightly.

Huang Zirui was speechless.

At night, some connected to the Moon Web to cultivate in the car, while others slept soundly with their mouths open.

Wang Ye was cultivating in an abandoned hotel near the gathering place.

At this point, his Star Evolution Technique had reached the perfection stage!

He could feel his body improving in all aspects as he cultivated time and time again. The effect was superior to the Scarlet Sun Evolution Technique of the same level.

“The overall strengthening effect of the body is about 1.5 times that of the Scarlet Sun Evolution Technique.”

From the progress bar on his personal panel, Wang Ye could roughly estimate the progress.

For a level 3 genetic warrior, the Scarlet Sun Evolution Technique would increase his strength by 1% in 10 hours while the Star Evolution Technique brought about a 1.5% increase.

Moreover, it was a comprehensive effect.

The Scarlet Sun Evolution Technique was more focused on increasing his essence. Although it was a pleasant feeling to be hard, it would cause a drawback for the long-term development of genetic warriors.

The Star Evolution Technique was a transformation of cells, strengthening the body in all aspects. This was very impressive.

At the same time, cultivating the Star Evolution Technique would allow him to absorb cosmic energy, expand his psyche, and improve his strength as an ability user.

The effect of the technique on his level as an ability user was no different from that of its effect on his level as a genetic warrior.

However, as he was currently only a level 2 ability user, the improvement was rapid.

Moreover, Wang Ye also discovered the special effect of the perfection-stage Star Evolution Technique: His perception was outstanding.

Two days later, on the fifth day of the joint operation.

“Our search and rescue mission is almost complete.” Wang Ye smiled at Yu Shuiqin.

“Yes, we saved five people in total.” Yu Shuiqin’s tender face was smooth, moist, and youthful. It made Wang Ye want to try out the wonders of dry shower foam.

Compared to Wangzhai Town, Dali Village was slightly smaller.

Coupled with the fact that the two of them now had better tacit cooperation with each other, they completed the search and rescue faster.

“Let’s go help them. The sooner we finish the mission, the sooner we can wrap up.”

Wang Ye called Huang Zirui through his field watch.

He wouldn’t complain about earning too many potential points.

After advancing to become a level 3 genetic warrior, he no longer had extra rewards for crossing levels and killing high-grade fiend-level monsters.

That being said, there were many monsters in the wild, so his potential points easily exceeded 100 in two days.

He planned to save them to upgrade the Basic Star Evolution Technique.

“Okay.” Yu Shuiqin revealed her signature sweet smile.

In the past five days, she had a better impression of Wang Ye.

He was kind, responsible, and took good care of her. He took full responsibility for the fight with the monsters and never let her do anything.

She knew why Brother Rui didn’t want her to get too close to Wang Ye. It was because the gap between their families was too big. Wang Ye was a refugee before.

But she didn’t care.

If he loved her back, she was willing to do anything.

Hmm? No one picked up.

Wang Ye then called Song Shuyi.

“What’s wrong?” Yu Shuiqin looked at Wang Ye, who was a little surprised.

“Neither of them picked up.” Wang Ye pondered.

“Maybe they’re busy?” Yu Shuiqin guessed.

“Let’s go take a look.”

At the gathering place, the four substitute captains were gathered, eating meat and drinking wine. They were very relaxed.

“Captain Tong, it looks like you’re going to lose to the East Camp this time,” Captain Chen from the South Camp laughed.

“It’s just good luck,” Ma Junjie, who was wearing sunglasses, laughed.

“It doesn’t matter, our elite rescue team wins more.” Tong Wu was expressionless. Suddenly, his watch vibrated, and he pressed the button to open it. “What is it?”

Ma Junjie was speechless as he remembered the fear of being dominated by Xia Wuguang.

Why did such a freak appear in the West Camp?

“What’s wrong, Captain Tong? Why do you look so serious?” Captain Chen’s eyes were bright.

“Two of my team members are missing.” Tong Wu stood up, his tall and sturdy body standing tall like a tower, exuding an oppressive aura. “1’11 go find them now.”

“Keep in touch.” The three captains said seriously.

It was very common for accidents to happen during missions.

For example, the East Camp had encountered nightmare-level monsters before. Fortunately, Wei Shengtian was strong enough to survive.

However, the strongest among the four members of the West Camp rescue team was only a level 2 genetic warrior.

Baimu Village was a scene of fields and mountains, with classic tile-roofed houses.

It was dusk, and the sky had already begun to darken.

“Something happened to the two of them. Be careful,” Wang Ye said, “There might be nightmare-level monsters on the mountain. Captain Tong is already on the way.”

Although he didn’t want to admit it, something bad had likely happened since those two couldn’t be contacted until now. The biggest possibility was that they had encountered a nightmare-level monster.

“Yes.” Yu Shuiqin’s expression was a little flustered. She and Brother Rui had grown up together and were as close as siblings.

When she heard the news, she was completely stunned. Until now, she was still in a daze.

Fortunately, Wang Ye was here.

The two of them searched everywhere, not letting go of any clues.

The more he searched, the more his heart sank.

Wang Ye knew very well that the longer they dragged on, the less likely they were to survive.

Calm down. He had to calm down now. He couldn’t lose control.

Wang Ye stood in the middle of the country road, watching the sunset and sorting out his chaotic thoughts.

Something was wrong.

At present, the greatest possibility was that the two of them had encountered a nightmare-level monster.

Based on Huang Zirui’s personality, he would definitely stall the monster and make Song Shuyi retreat immediately.

Yet, no matter if it was he, Xiao Qin, or Captain Tong, none of them received a call for help.

In other words, they didn’t have time to ask for help.

Wait!

With Song Shuyi’s personality, if Huang Zirui asked her to run away and ask for help, she would probably shout, “Brother Rui, if we’re going to die, we’re going to die together!”

Then, she would just rush up with a whoosh…

There was no way to deduce her actions.

Wang Ye paced left and right and pursed his lips tightly.

He recalled the mother and daughter he had saved in Xinhe Residential Area. The information they had given him and the strange phenomenon he had discovered in the area seemed to point to a faint possibility.

Could it be…

Wang Ye’s eyes fell on the road sign at the intersection of the country road, and his pupils dilated.

Then, he shot out like an arrow and abruptly stopped at the intersection where there was a directional sign. There were four signs pointing to the east, south, west, and north respectively.

Baimu Ridge, Hejia Village, Shanghu Bridge, and – Longwang Mountain!
