The worry in their eyes was slowly deepening, because they knew very well that if they couldn't find Shirogane Miyuki and Komei this time, it would be difficult to rescue them next time. Realizing this, the two of them didn't know what to do.
Chika, observing the situation, noticed that their initial anxiety about occupying the area was slowly dissipating. She then turned to Ram and said:
“We can’t just keep messing things up here. We also need to find Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, because they are imprisoned inside and may not know that the situation outside has become chaotic.”
After saying these words, Chika's expression turned serious. She pondered for a moment, then said to Ram:
"Moreover, if they know the situation is chaotic, they will definitely try to escape. If they take a different path from us then, the situation will become even more complicated. So, after we sort out the situation here, we will lead our people to evacuate and search for people in the vicinity."
A hint of agreement flashed in Ram's eyes. After discussing some other countermeasures, they made the situation even more chaotic. Seeing that the place was already in disarray, Qianhua and Ram did not waste any more time and immediately led their people to evacuate.
However, they didn't run very far. Instead, they searched the surrounding area for people. But after searching the area, they still couldn't find Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing. Realizing this, the worry in their eyes gradually deepened.
Because they were also very worried that after all their efforts, neither Shirogane Yuki nor Natsumi could escape. Wouldn't that have been a waste of their time? Realizing this, the two of them frowned deeply.
After searching the entire area, they still couldn't find Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki. Realizing this, the two men frowned deeply, and just as they were wondering what to do, Chika, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt her phone vibrate.
A flicker of joy flashed in his eyes, because at first he thought it was Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko contacting him, but when he saw what his phone displayed, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes. The person who contacted him was none other than Kaguya.
Chapter 315 Comfort
Seeing this, Chika frowned slightly, but he still pressed the answer button. Just as he pressed the button, he heard Kaguya's voice coming from the other end:
"How are things? Where are you now? Have you found Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing? Are they safe?"
Hearing Kaguya's barrage of questions, Chika's brows furrowed even more. Seeing this, Ram's eyes flashed with worry, but then he heard Chika say to Kaguya:
"We're doing alright right now, so don't worry. We've found traces of Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko, and we'll be able to reunite soon. You just need to rest and recuperate in the hospital."
After hearing these words, Kaguya's worry lessened a bit, but at the same time, she felt uneasy for some reason, so she asked about the current situation.
Realizing this, Chika sighed softly, but he couldn't tell Kaguya the whole story. After all, Kaguya was still in the hospital and hadn't fully recovered. A strange look flashed in his eyes, but given the current situation, all he could do was comfort Kaguya.
However, Kaguya on the other side did not calm down despite Chika's comfort. Moreover, due to his illness, his emotions remained unstable, even though Chika had told him that Shirogane Miyuki was no longer in any problems.
However, he was still very worried. Chika, on the other end of the phone, naturally understood Kaguya's feelings and sighed softly.
After finally comforting Kaguya, they hung up the phone. Ram, who was standing nearby, rushed to Chika's side, glanced at him, and then asked:
"What's wrong? It was Kaguya on the phone. What did she ask you~?"
Upon hearing these words, a hint of worry flashed in Chika's eyes. Then, glancing at the chaotic situation, she realized that they still hadn't found any trace of Natsuhiko and Shirogane Miyuki. Her worry deepened, but she also felt helpless. She had sensed from her phone call with Kaguya that Kaguya's emotions were very unstable due to her illness.
And he kept asking about his current situation. Even if he didn't tell him, he could vaguely guess. Realizing this, he sighed heavily and then said to Ram in front of him:
"Let's leave this place to them for now and let them search here. We should go back to the hospital to take care of Kaguya. I feel like her condition has worsened, and her emotions haven't been very stable. If she finds out about this news, it could lead to other consequences."
Ram's brow furrowed slightly, but at the same time, he was very worried. After all, there were no clues about Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki. Chika, who was standing beside him, naturally noticed Ram's thoughts, patted his shoulder, and then said to him:
"Alright, I know what you're thinking, but think about it, if we send someone else to take care of Kaguya, we'll probably be exposed very quickly. It's better if the two of us go; then we can cover up the lie more easily."
Chapter 316 Stay behind
Upon hearing this, a hint of agreement flashed in Ram's eyes. After making some arrangements there, they had no choice but to return to the hospital and stay there.
When Kaguya saw Lum and Chika in the hospital, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and she hurriedly asked them:
"You're finally back! How did it go? Any news about Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko? Are they safe now? Did Lord Long do anything to them? Were they injured?"
After saying this, Kaguya looked expectantly at Chika and Ram. Seeing this, the helplessness in Chika and Ram's eyes deepened. They glanced at each other, then a smile slowly appeared on their lips. They sat down on either side of Kaguya's hospital bed and said to 563:
"Oh dear, you're sick, why are you still worried about these things? Didn't I tell you? We already have leads on them, we know they're in a safe place, and they haven't contacted us yet, which is for the best, since Boss Long's men are still holding us back. But I can assure you that they are absolutely safe right now."
"Yes, yes, don't think so much. Besides, you're still sick. It's best to rest and recover. If Shirogane Yuki comes back and sees that you're still not better, he'll definitely feel guilty. So just focus on getting better and don't worry about anything else. They're both safe right now."
Ram, who was standing to the side, echoed Chika's words. After hearing these words, Kaguya's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, because he also had experience with these kinds of things.
However, after carefully observing Ram and Chika's situation, he discovered that they were not nervous at all. Realizing this, he gradually began to believe it in his heart. Ram and Chika started talking, and then they talked about some other details.
Of course, Kaguya questioned them repeatedly, but fortunately they managed to calm her down. However, despite this, Ram and Chika could only stay at the hospital to take care of Kaguya.
They were acutely aware that they had to keep Kaguya calm. If Kaguya acted impulsively, she might attract the attention of the Dragon Lord. Realizing this, their vigilance deepened.
However, at the same time, they did not give up looking for clues about Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki, and they also sent people to secretly investigate Xia Yan and Shirogane Miyuki.
However, after checking, there was still no news from Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko. Realizing this, the worry in their eyes gradually deepened. At the same time, they also sent people to check on Long Ye's side and found that Long Ye had not captured Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko either.
After learning this news, the worry in their eyes gradually lessened. Meanwhile, on the other side, Shirogane Yukichi and Natsumi had escaped from the place where Lord Long had imprisoned them after that chaos, but they were still in Lord Long's base.
Because Lord Long's base was too complicated, they couldn't find the exit at all. They had originally been infiltrated by Lord Long's men, and luckily they weren't directly discovered.
Chapter 317 Search
Moreover, Lord Long's guards quickly familiarized themselves with the terrain.
After learning about the terrain, Shirogane Miyuki glanced at Xia Yan, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes, because in their view, this was definitely a great opportunity.
Realizing this, Xia Yan glanced at Shirogane Miyuki and then said to him:
"It seems we are safe now, but I don't know what the situation is like outside, and whether Chika and Ram are safe."
Upon hearing these words, Shirogane Miyuki, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly, though he was genuinely worried about Kaguya's safety.
What's more, Kaguya was still in the hospital before he arrived, and he didn't greet her when he came. Realizing this, his brows furrowed even more. However, he was very clear in his heart that the most important thing for them now was to leave this place as soon as possible.
Realizing this, a resolute glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. However, Shirogane Miyuki was also very clear that even if they wanted to leave now, they could not let Lord Long and the others go for nothing.
A glint flashed in Shirogane Miyuki's eyes. He then carefully observed the terrain before turning to Xia Yan beside him and saying:
"Now that we've figured out the terrain, why don't we just set it on fire and burn it down? We've been imprisoned here for so long, we can't let Master Long get away with it so easily."
A smile slowly crept onto Xia Yan's lips, though he now wholeheartedly agreed with Shirogane Miyuki's opinion.
Knowing he didn't want to let Master Long off so easily, the two reached a consensus. They discussed it briefly, then, avoiding all the other people, they finished setting up the place and set it on fire.
Seeing the rising flames, they didn't linger and hurriedly began looking for a way to escape. Meanwhile, on the other side, Long Ye was already furious because of the chaos that Qianhua and Ram had created outside.
His first reaction was to send someone to check where Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki were, but when the people he sent out returned, they found that Xia Yan and Shirogane Yuki had already disappeared.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
Realizing this, the anger in his eyes gradually deepened. However, he also learned from rumors that Chika and Ram were still searching for Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi. So soon, Lord Long realized that Xia Yan and Shirogane Yukichi had not escaped.
Now that he knew this, he naturally wouldn't let these two people off easily. Considering the significant losses they had caused him, Master Long frowned slightly, then spoke very seriously to his subordinates:
..... ...... ...
"Although things are very chaotic outside, I'm telling you that Shirogane Yuki and Natsuhiko are very likely still here with us. You two guard all the exits, you might as well seal this place off completely. Under no circumstances can they escape. If they do, you won't be able to exist either."
Upon hearing these words, a hint of panic flashed in the eyes of everyone present. At the same time, they knew that this matter was extremely important, so they hurriedly and respectfully said yes, and then began to lead their subordinates to try to seal off this place.
Chapter 318 Resentment
But just as they stepped out, a guard rushed in in a panic and said to Lord Long:
“Dragon Lord Linglong 852, 1042 Dragon 78 Lord, something bad has happened, it’s on fire.”
Master Long suddenly stood up from his chair, a look of disbelief flashing in his eyes. He then went straight to one of his subordinates, grabbed him by the collar, and said:
"What did you just say was a fire? Where is the fire?"
The panic in the eyes of "563"'s subordinates was gradually deepening, and then they subconsciously pointed outside. At the same time, thick smoke was billowing out from outside. When those people went out, they could no longer tell which way they were going.
A flicker of fear crossed their eyes. They didn't know why a fire had broken out here, but the thought that Master Long was going to seal this place off meant they were being pushed directly into the inferno. Realizing this, all of Master Long's men panicked.
Not only that, what they wanted to do now was to leave this place as soon as possible, and not stay for a moment longer. They knew that once the fire started burning, it would show no mercy. After realizing this, they could no longer care about Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing.
They ran straight outside, but when they reached the various exits, they found many guards standing there. Upon seeing this, they frowned and a look of confusion flashed in their eyes.
But at the same time, they also felt smoke billowing out from inside, and a burning sensation. Realizing this, their panic deepened. They couldn't care less about anything else and hurriedly tried to rush out, shouting to the outside as they did so:
"Are you really tired of living? If you don't want to live, get out of our way! We still want to live. Don't you know there's a fire inside? If we don't get out soon, none of us might make it out."
"Yes, yes, get out of the way! What are you doing here? Get out of here! If this place catches fire, who can control it?"
"Yes, yes, escaping is the priority right now. What are you all doing here guarding the place? Don't you really want to die?"
But no matter what the people inside said, the guards outside remained standing there motionless. Seeing this, a flash of anger crossed their eyes. However, before they could even react, Lord Long appeared in front of them...
Upon seeing this scene, a glimmer of anticipation flashed in the eyes of everyone present. However, before they could hear Master Long tell them to make way, he suddenly spoke to them:
“I know there was a fire inside, and you all want to get out. I absolutely do not mean to harm you, but I am going to search each and every one of you. You also know that Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing have definitely not left here. If they admit to this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, then all our previous efforts will have been in vain.”
After saying these words, Master Long, who was standing to the side, looked at everyone present with a meaningful gaze. A hint of shock flashed in the eyes of everyone present, because they did not expect that Master Long would still want to search those two people when lives were at stake.
They believed that as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn, so escaping first was the most important thing. However, they did not expect that Master Long would come up with such an idea. After realizing this, the people present began to harbor resentment towards Master Long.
Chapter 319 Incitement
However, at the same time, they dared not offend Lord Long in front of them. After all, in their eyes, Lord Long was the one in charge here. Realizing this, although they harbored great resentment towards Lord Long, they dared not show it on the surface.
However, the burning sensation they felt grew stronger and stronger. Realizing this, their panic deepened, because they were extremely concerned that they might lose their lives here.
Everyone present exchanged glances, their anger slowly intensifying. And Dragon Lord's estimation was correct; now, Shirogane Yukichi and Natsuhiko were mixed in among them.
Shirogane Miyuki quietly approached Natsuhiko and whispered to him:
"What should we do now? If the search continues at this pace, we really won't be able to leave here anytime soon. We should hurry up and think of a solution."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yan frowned slightly. Just as they were wondering what to do, the people at the front of the group suddenly spoke up to them in a loud voice:
"To prevent the two prisoners who came out from mixing in with you and sneaking out, we need to search everyone before we can completely let you through. Please hold on a little longer."
Upon hearing these words, everyone present frowned deeply, realizing that the heat they were feeling was intensifying, and the experimental base was filled with thick smoke. They felt the air was becoming increasingly scarce, and the oxygen they could breathe was dwindling.
In addition, the place was already crowded with people. Who knew if they could escape alive after everyone was searched and released? Realizing this, the fear in their eyes deepened and they were extremely panicked.
However, before they could figure out what they were going to do, on the other side, Master Long insisted on searching everyone before he could feel at ease, even after someone told him about the situation there.
Moreover, this action by Master Long completely enraged these people. In their eyes, they usually risked their lives for Master Long, but at this moment, Master Long disregarded their safety and still wanted to find those two prisoners.
If they were really to be shown this, it would truly be a case of "where there's life, there's hope," but what Lord Long did this time was truly excessive. Realizing this, they began to discuss it among the mortals. Xia Yan and Bai Yin Yuxing, who were standing nearby, exchanged a glance, a glint of light flashing in their eyes.
Then they deliberately went into the crowd and suddenly said:
"How can this be? How can we do this? Isn't this treating us like we're not human? If we can only leave after you've finished investigating, we'll all be dead by now."
"Yes, yes, we usually work so hard for you, but now you don't treat us like human beings at all. What do you take us for? Do you think we're someone you can just sacrifice ourselves for? Besides, it was so chaotic outside just now, those two prisoners might have already escaped. Aren't you just trying to make us die here?"
Many people showed a hint of agreement after hearing these words, especially since Master Long's behavior had just completely enraged them.
Chapter 320 Resistance
Now, with Shirogane Miyuki and Natsuhiko constantly stirring up emotions, everyone is extremely resentful. They exchanged glances, a hint of agitation flashing in their eyes, and then began to say:
"Yes, yes, how could you do this? You should have let us out in the first place. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild. Besides, how could you be so sure those two mortals were among us? Release us right now!"
"Yes, yes, let us out quickly, or we'll really die here. Can't you see the fire is getting bigger and bigger?"
