Chapter 273

By the riverside, Sui Yi and his two companions had actually seen from afar that no one was around and had hastened their steps to get there.

’Gone.’

Controlling his emotions, Ye Changan still remained calm and looked around, while Xiao Yu, with her strong investigative ability, immediately found on the soft sand opposite their original landing...

’I think you should look at this.’

At Xiao Yu’s words, both of Sui Yi’s companions walked over to see.

The sand was very soft, and as soon as the three of them stepped into the area, they left their own footprints.

Naturally, they also saw other traces.

’These lines... It looks like a large group of creatures crawled over here... Judging by the size, it seems to be some kind of ants.’

All three thought of the Acacia Ants, ’There are also shoe prints here.’

There were faintly two shoe prints a meter in front of Sui Yi.

Xiao Yu looked and said, looking up, ’Judging by the length, width, and the depth of the collapse, this person is neither tall nor heavy...probably a woman.’

A woman?

Here are only two footprints, so it was a woman.

Soon the three deduced such a scene: a woman had come from the desert, followed by countless Acacia Ants. The footprints she left behind were covered by the traces of the moving ants until she finally stood in front of Gong Jiu and others, leaving a pair of footprints, and then countless Acacia Ants swarmed towards Gong Jiu and the rest...

Since they were women themselves and all highly independent females, the three did not consider whether another woman could do such a thing.

What mattered most now was... the person, were they dead or alive, and if alive, where had they gone?

’If it’s Acacia Ants, bones should be left behind. There are no bones here, so I think they must have been captured after being threatened by a swarm of Acacia Ants... But it’s strange, how did this person track us down when we came through the water... Did she know from the start that we would enter the water and knew this underwater outlet would lead here?’

There was a traitor helping the other party.

Xiao Yu and Ye Changan both leaned towards this assumption, but then both turned to look at Sui Yi, who had been staring at the footprints on the ground...

Feeling their silent inquiry, Sui Yi slightly raised his head to look at them, and relaxed the slight furrow in his brow, sharing Gao Yi’s situation with them.

The two of them were suddenly astonished, and before they could comment, they saw Sui Yi take off the not-so-large backpack he was carrying and pull out an object from inside.

A pancake-sized dial instrument, which looked very sophisticated and high-class, Ye Changan didn’t delve into such matters and didn’t understand, but Xiao Yu recognized the gadget at a glance.

’GPT4310?’ Xiao Yu was shocked.

’Yes,’ Sui Yi nodded, shouldering his backpack again, while saying, ’I had spoken to Gong Jiu about my suspicions regarding Gao Yi, so Gong Jiu and the others must have taken action, but there are only two outcomes, either she succeeded in overpowering Gao Yi, or she failed. If she failed, it’s only because Gao Yi still has accomplices, and these accomplices are much more powerful than Gong Jiu and his people. If so, they had the ability to completely trap all of us from the start, yet they still haven’t...’

’This means they think we still have value to them!’ Xiao Yu looked at Ye Changan.

Ye Changan’s eyes lit up, ’It looks like my grandfather was bound to escape death. But my grandfather isn’t foolish; he definitely would have negotiated to ensure that no one else is harmed, so right now they all must have been taken away...’

It was very likely that everyone was still alive.

This possibility slightly eased the tension on Ye Changan and Xiao Yu’s faces.

Then, Ye Changan suddenly looked at the device in his hand, ’So this in your hand... GPT4310?’

’It’s a tracker, a top-tier tracking instrument just launched two months ago in the USA, commonly used in military tracking. As long as a sensor is placed on the subject, even in places like deserts where many satellites cannot locate, it can still perform tracking by combining wide-range heat sensing with satellite connections... It’s also traded in international markets, albeit at a very high price. Is this from Gong Jiu to you?’

As a die-hard military man, Xiao Yu looked eagerly at the device, almost wishing he could snatch it right away for research. But considering Sui Yi’s formidable combat power...
