Not long after, Guo Xuyang felt a peculiar sensation.
This feeling was very intimate, making him want to draw closer.
He scanned his surroundings but found that it wasn't the person he was looking for.
The target was a white man, busy with something inside an aircraft.
He didn't disturb the other party, choosing instead to wait.
There were surprisingly many humans in space.
Of course, there were also those who had become corpses.
These were likely remnants from accidents that occurred during space exploration over the years.
Guo Xuyang's perception of signals became increasingly familiar.
If it were a deceased human, the signal would be extremely weak.
If it were a living human, the signal would be stronger and remarkably intimate.
If the contact was with humans of the same skin color, the signal would be even stronger.
Suddenly, he felt a sense of kinship, as if blood was thicker than water.
This feeling told him that the other person must be from his own country.
He looked, and sure enough, it was a six-person interstellar scavenging team.
He also recognized people within the group, particularly the initial captain, Xin Rui's brother, Xin Dali.
"Found them. Kasa, let's head over now."
Guo Xuyang said to Kasa.
"Excellent, Master.
Please mark the location, and we'll fly over immediately."
Guo Xuyang checked the distance. Traveling by spaceship would likely take two days to reach them.
So, he absorbed Kasa and the spaceship into his mind, performing a point-to-point teleportation directly to a meteorite not far from Xin Dali.
"Kasa, send a signal to them and let them know we've arrived."
Guo Xuyang released the spaceship and Kasa, saying this.
"Understood, Master. The distance to them from here is three hundred kilometers.
Should we proceed now, or wait for their reply?"
Kasa said, looking at the spaceship's display.
"Let's wait for their reply.
I'll see if I can find anyone else.
Continue sending the genetic signal."
Guo Xuyang said.
"Understood, Master."
As Kasa made contact with Xin Dali, Guo Xuyang discovered another team.
In this team, he only recognized one person, Zhang Li, who used to be in charge of spaceship piloting.
However, their current distance was even farther than the distance to Xin Dali's spaceship before he had moved.
"Master, we've established contact with them.
They are now changing course and heading towards us."
Kasa said, looking at Guo Xuyang.
"Let's go meet them."
Guo Xuyang said, continuing to amplify his perception.
Unfortunately, he found no one else.
"Are you Guo Xuyang?"
Xin Dali's voice suddenly sounded from the control panel.
"Captain, it's Guo Xuyang."
Guo Xuyang replied.
"Is everyone with you alright?"
"Everything is fine on our end, we've just lost contact with the ground."
"Something happened on the ground. It's good that you are all safe.
Do you have enough supplies?"
"More than enough. We planned for a month out here and prepared our supplies thoroughly.
We just didn't expect to suddenly lose contact with the ground."
Xin Dali said.
"Follow me, and we'll go find the others."
"Have the others also lost contact with the ground?"
"Yes. Do you know the whereabouts of the other two teams?"
"We're not clear. Our missions are classified, and each team has its own designated area."
Xin Dali said.
"I understand. Stay close behind us."
Guo Xuyang said, having Kasa push the ship to full throttle as they headed towards Zhang Li's team.
...
"Director Jiang, the person has been found."
Jiang Qixin's phone suddenly rang.
"Excellent. Can you restore his signal?"
"He said the original component was damaged and couldn't be recovered."
"How could this happen? Are there replacement original components?"
"No. He said each signal receiver is unique."
"That's impossible. According to him, the original components have to be updated every time a spaceship is launched?
Isn't that absurd?
Find out what this person did before.
Identify his teacher.
Have his teacher handle this matter."
"Understood, Director Jiang."
"Contact his teacher as soon as possible. If that's not feasible, you can find his fellow students to do it.
I don't care how you do it, but you must find someone within three days."
"Yes, I guarantee the task will be completed."
Jiang Qixin hung up the phone and then dialed another number.
Unfortunately, the voice on the other end still said the number was temporarily unavailable.
He trusted his intuition; Guo Xuyang was definitely not dead in the spaceship explosion.
As for why he couldn't be contacted, it was probably because he was deliberately avoiding him.
With no other options, Jiang Qixin had to call Lü Liang.
"Liangzi, have you seen Yangzi?"
"Yangzi? Wasn't he out on a mission? What's going on?"
"He didn't call me back, so I'm calling to check."
"Boss, where did he go on his mission?
Didn't he used to be forbidden from making calls during missions?"
"That's right. I forgot about that."
Jiang Qixin said.
"Could something have happened to Yangzi?
Boss, don't lie to me."
"What could happen? How could I lie to you?"
"I called Yangzi, but it showed as unreachable."
Lü Liang said.
"Yesterday evening, Xiao Yun's phone was found in the moat, but we still haven't been able to contact her."
"What? Xiao Yun is missing? What happened?"
"Fatty was looking for Xiao Yun all day yesterday and couldn't find her. He contacted me last night.
I had people track Xiao Yun's phone, and it was recovered from the moat.
As of now, we still have no news of Xiao Yun."
"Have you used technical means to investigate?"
"We're arranging for people to investigate, but the results haven't been ideal."
"Didn't you have four personal bodyguards assigned?
You can have them step in."
"If it comes to defense, I might not be their match, but when it comes to finding people, they're really not up to it.
We've already found out Xiao Yun's hotel and are currently tracing her movements."
"You must find her as soon as possible, and tell me the outcome, whatever it may be."
"Understood, Boss."
Jiang Qixin hung up the phone and felt increasingly uneasy, so he went directly to the office of the old man with white hair.
"Boss, someone has started targeting Guo Xuyang's associates."
"What's going on?"
"Yangzi's wife, Xiao Yun, has been kidnapped, and her whereabouts and condition are unknown."
Jiang Qixin said.
"Hmm? It seems some people can't wait any longer?
Make arrangements to ensure the safety of Guo Xuyang's family.
We cannot let our hero bleed and weep."
"Yes, Boss."
"Have Guo Xuyang's family been informed about his situation?"
"Not yet. Yangzi went on this mission just a few days ago. I'm afraid they might not be able to bear it."
"Hiding it isn't a solution forever. They will find out one day."
"Let's hide it for as long as we can. I hope a miracle will happen."
Jiang Qixin said.
"A miracle? I also hope a miracle can happen."
The old man paused and said.
