Chapter 73 Sister
Ye Zheng looked towards the door of the conference room, where sat the members of the expedition team who were about to set off.

"Well... the scientific research team has taken protective measures and is mentally prepared to sacrifice at any time."

Su Yuqing didn't know what to say.

While he was talking to Ye Zheng, he was also communicating with Feng Ling. He learned that the contamination of the maze was caused by the death of the maze administrator, and he passed this news to Ye Zheng.

Ye Zheng held the phone and whispered, "…We have been preparing for this operation for too long, both in terms of personnel and materials. We are leaving tomorrow. It is impossible to cancel it temporarily because of a phone call. Moreover, the maze manager is an alien species. The alien species said that the spread of pollution is irreversible. Can humans only accept the irreversible result? We should give it a try. Even if we fail, at least we have tried."

Su Yuqing remained silent.

Of course he knew that the long-planned operation would not be canceled because of a phone call. He was just worried about Ye Zheng's safety. If the accompanying personnel might be contaminated and mutated, what would be the difference between that and carrying a bomb that might explode at any time?
Feng Ling on the other side was still urging him: "Old Su, should we also post this news on the forum? Maybe someone is forming a gang to conquer the maze. After all, there are quite a few card holders among the people. If you don't say anything, I will assume that you agree..."

"Post it." Su Yuqing said solemnly, "You go to the forum and post it. I'll contact Captain Shen in Yuquan City and try to get the Yuquan City Branch to reinforce you. Also..."

He paused for a moment and said, "Keep an eye on the maze manager next to you and don't let it die."

call ended.

Feng Ling looked at the phone in confusion, muttering: "Why does this guy seem to have suddenly become depressed? What happened to him?"

"When are we going to the maze?" Huangfu Miaomiao was anxious. "If there really is a group of players chasing the maze administrator, shouldn't we enter the maze as soon as possible? Otherwise, if we run into that group of players, we'll have to find a way to save him."

She pointed at Li Qing as if he was a burden.

Li Qing sat with his head down and said nothing.

Feng Ling was also quite annoyed and sighed, "I'll post something on the forum first."

She opened the Alien Forum app, edited a post and posted it.

Then I remembered that my new phone had a forum specifically for hunters, so I copied the text and pasted it to the Hunter Alliance Forum.

After a while of busy talk, Feng Ling felt that he had made efforts for world peace and the survival of mankind.

"Okay, that's it."

She stood up, grabbed the cat spider and cat owl in the RV, stuffed them into the pet box, then picked up a box in each hand and said to the two people in the RV, "Let's go and take a look at Goddess Peak first."

Li Qing hesitated to speak, but finally followed them out of the car...

The process of the three people entering the scenic area was not smooth.

First of all, pets are not allowed into the scenic area.

Feng Ling asked Li Qing to help her carry the pet box. The scenic area staff could stop tourists but they could not stop the Taoist priests.

Then, when taking the cable car, Li Qing had no money to buy a ticket.

Feng Ling had no choice but to advance the ticket money for him.

Although Li Qing looked like he had no money, Feng Ling never expected that he couldn't even afford a cable car ticket.

The three of them got into the cable car along with the two pet boxes. Feng Ling couldn't help but ask Li Qing: "Where's your money?"

Li Qing was stunned, "...I'll transfer it to you."

"I mean the rest of your money," Feng Ling suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, "Is it all gone?"

Li Qing frowned and explained: "There are still 25 left, which is indeed not enough to buy a ticket. I really didn't lie to you."

Feng Ling was convinced.

He was so poor but still transferred money to her. I really don't know what's going on in this person's mind.

When the cable car arrived at the station, it was crowded with tourists.

Looking around, there are people selling water, grilled sausages, corn, blessing plaques, incense and candles, as well as intangible cultural heritage handicrafts. It is very lively.

Only by continuing to move forward and away from the crowd can you experience the quiet and ethereal atmosphere of the mountains and forests.

However, none of the three were in the mood to see the scenery, so after arriving at the station, they headed towards Goddess Peak.

Li Qing led the way, and Feng Ling and Huangfu Miaomiao followed behind. Huangfu Miaomiao was particularly excited.

Ever since she luckily obtained the clue to the maze, she has been preparing to enter the maze. She has experienced many twists and turns in the process, but now she can finally achieve her wish!

It is no exaggeration to say that all hard work pays off!
When she thought of this, Huangfu Miaomiao's short legs moved faster.

"elder sister!"

A childish voice suddenly sounded, I don’t know whose child it was calling “sister”.

The three of them didn't care and continued to move forward quickly.

Unexpectedly, the voice came after her, "Sister! Sister!"

Huangfu Miaomiao finally felt that the voice sounded familiar. She turned around and just stopped walking. A little girl about four or five years old came forward and hugged her, smiling and shouting, "Sister!"

"...Shasha?" Huangfu Miaomiao's eyes widened in astonishment, and she immediately looked around, "Why are you alone? Where are your parents?"

"I don't know!" the little girl answered in a baby voice.

"What's going on?" Feng Ling frowned and asked, "Hey, little skeleton, when did you get a sister?"

Huangfu Miaomiao touched her face subconsciously.

She had lost her skull mask, otherwise she wouldn't have been recognized.

"She is the child of the family I registered. Her name is Huangfu Shasha." Huangfu Miaomiao picked up the little girl, a little embarrassed. "She just started kindergarten and doesn't know anything."

"Sister, why don't you go home?" The little girl said in a confused manner, "If you don't go home every day, your mother will spank you."

Feng Ling was a little upset, "We are not going to look after the children here, are we?"

Goddess Peak is just ahead, and she is still waiting to enter the maze!

Li Qing said, "Let's hand the child over to the staff at the cable car. There are a lot of tourists today, so she might have gotten separated. Her parents should be nearby."

Feng Ling let out a breath and walked back with heavy steps, "...Okay, let's find the staff."

They returned to where they had taken the cable car.

Before I saw the staff, I saw a young couple rushing over here.

The woman rushed forward, her eyes red, and snatched the little girl from Huangfu Miaomiao's arms, yelling, "Don't touch her! Monster!!!"

The man's face was pale and tense, and he immediately pulled his wife and daughter behind him, as if he was afraid that Huangfu Miaomiao would hurt them.

The little girl was hurt by being pulled, and when she saw her usually gentle mother suddenly become ferocious, she was frightened and burst into tears.

Other tourists looked over.

Li Qing quickly explained: "You misunderstood. This child got lost just now and we met her on the road, so we quickly sent her back."

Li Qing has a handsome and gentle appearance, and wearing a Taoist robe, he can easily win people's trust.

The man protected his wife and daughter and said "thank you" to Li Qing.

The woman hugged the child tightly, still staring at Huangfu Miaomiao with extremely hateful eyes.

Huangfu Miaomiao didn't dare to look into the woman's eyes. She lowered her head and hurriedly followed Li Qing and Feng Ling.

When the three figures went away, the woman's emotions collapsed and she cried while holding her child. The man's eyes also turned slightly red.

At the busy cable car station, there is always a young man wearing a straw hat squatting in a hidden corner.

He raised the brim of his hat slightly, held the phone and said, "I found the maze manager, but something seems a little wrong..."

"What's wrong?"

"Yeah, there's a hidden boss next to the administrator."

Last time someone asked me what the heroine's claws looked like. Haha, I drew it today, but I didn't want to draw the heroine's face. I feel that this way there is more room for imagination~
