1888: Serene Village

Serene Village

Was… was that her master?0

Huo Yao went into a daze. When she tried to take a second look, the car across from the road had already made a U-turn. All she could see was the rear of the car.

The rear window was dark, so nothing could be seen inside the car.

Min Yu detected something amiss with Huo Yao's expression, so he could not help looking at her. Then, he looked out the window in the same direction. "What's wrong?"

"Follow the car in front." Huo Yao reached her hand out and pointed at the car about to disappear into the traffic and said.

"Follow the car in front." Huo Yao reached her hand out and pointed at the car about to disappear into the traffic and said.

Huo Yao continued looking out the car window. For a moment, she thought she had made a mistake. How could her master still be alive?

She went quiet for a few seconds and said, "I don't know, but something is wrong."

She spoke with certainty.

There was no such thing as coincidences in the world.

Hearing this, Min Yu did not continue probing. He simply told Zhuo Yun to follow the car.

Before long, both cars moved in the same direction at a casual speed while they kept a relatively close distance between each other.

Shangguan Hou leaned sideways into the car seat. When he saw the car following behind through the rearview mirror, his lips curved upward slightly.

Ten minutes later.

Zhuo Yun suddenly hammered the steering wheel infuriatingly. "I lost the car."

Although they had just passed through a street with high traffic, he was very careful out of fear he might lose the car. Unexpectedly, he had lost it.

Huo Yao looked ahead. She did not seem very surprised. At this moment, Min Yu's phone rang.

Yang Yi was calling.

"Boss, we have located the plane…"

Hearing this, Min Yu recalled the things Huo Yao had said 30 minutes ago.

They would have the plane's location in 30 minutes at most.

Sure enough, she was spot on.

Min Yu's eyes turned dark. He quickly hung up the phone and looked at her. "We know the plane's location."

He paused and added, "It's in City C."

Huo Yao had yet to speak, but Zhuo Yun's face was already filled with joy.

"Did we find it? That's brilliant!"

Zhuo Yun was finally able to relax a little. He stepped on the gas. "Shall we meet up with Yi then? Hang on. I mean, are we still following the car from earlier?"

As he spoke, he looked into the rearview mirror.

"Where is the plane located in City C?" Huo Yao asked Min Yu.

"It landed in a rural village in the city. The signal was intermittent perhaps because of bad telecommunication services out there," said Min Yu slowly.

No one knew how the plane managed to avoid satellite detection or how it entered City C at all.

Huo Yao looked out the car window. When she saw the street signs outside, she lowered her eyes. Before long, she veered her eyes and said, "Don't bother trying to find the plane. Just go straight to the location Yang Yi mentioned."

First, they used her master's face to lure her in. Now, they revealed the plane's location. One move happened after the other. Sure enough, it was just as she expected.

Even if Yang Yi did not call, she would have thought about the village on her own.

It was Serene Village

It was a very rural and backward village with a vast forest behind it. It did not have strong telecommunication services or good infrastructure. The place seemed completely cut off from the world.

One thing was quite different about the village. No one in there could live past 50 years of age.
