Chapter 183: Found It
Chapter 183: Chapter 183: Found It
Everyone had only been here for thirty minutes, just long enough to understand the situation and discuss a plan before they all deployed.
Mo Xuan took a Hoverboard into the air, focusing his spiritual power and beginning his search.
They searched from day to night, but after more than ten hours, they had found absolutely nothing.
Meanwhile, Huang Bo Lin was watching their operation. He saw them searching everywhere to no avail.
A feeling of delight grew in Huang Bo Lin’s heart. ’The bomb is hidden in a very clever location. It’s not somewhere they can find just by looking.’
"You have a little over a day left. I hope you succeed."
Huang Bo Lin said with a smile, watching the busy figures on the large screen.
Just then, there was a knock on his door.
Huang Bo Lin immediately switched the screen to a TV show he usually watched.
After the knock, the door opened, and Huang Wan Zhi burst in, holding a large glass tank.
"Dad, look what I caught at the beach!"
Huang Wan Zhi held up the glass tank for him to see. A silver lantern fish was swimming inside.
Huang Bo Lin took a closer look and said with a smile, "It’s a lantern fish. It even glows at night."
"Yes! I heard this kind of fish is really hard to catch." Huang Wan Zhi said with a cheerful laugh. She placed the glass tank on the desk, looking down at the fish inside. "I caught this fish especially for you, Dad."
"You work so hard at night, it must be bad for your eyes. I heard from people on the Star Network that this fish helps relieve eye strain, so I went to sea to catch it."
Hearing his daughter say the fish was for him, Huang Bo Lin felt a warmth spread through his heart.
"Thank you, Xiao Zhi." Huang Bo Lin thanked her quickly. "Dad will take good care of it."
"Mhm!"
After talking about the fish, Huang Wan Zhi thought of the news she had seen on the Star Network and said with great sorrow, "Dad, S12 Star might be blown up by someone."
"Who could be so cruel? To blow up an entire planet... Over a billion people live there."
The culprit himself, Huang Bo Lin, listened to his daughter and put on a regretful expression as he replied, "Yes, it’s such a shame."
"I can’t imagine who would be so audacious as to even think of blowing up a planet."
"Yeah, that person is horrible!" Huang Wan Zhi nodded emphatically. "If I ever find out who it is, I’ll definitely give them a good beating." As she spoke, Huang Wan Zhi clenched her fists with a fierce look on her face.
Sitting to the side, Huang Bo Lin watched her and let out a soft chuckle. ’My daughter wants to beat me up. I’m actually looking forward to it.’
After venting to her dad, Huang Wan Zhi then asked, "Dad, have they found the person from that day?"
"They have." Huang Bo Lin no longer hid it, answering straightforwardly.
Hearing that, Huang Wan Zhi grew excited. "Who is it?!"
"His name is Shi Feng."
Shi Feng...
Huang Wan Zhi mulled over the name. ’It sounds so familiar. Is it the one I’m thinking of?’
"Dad, is it the same Shi Feng who was on the livestream?" Huang Wan Zhi asked cautiously, afraid she was getting her hopes up.
"Yes."
That single word made Huang Wan Zhi’s eyes widen.
"Really?!" Huang Wan Zhi jumped up and down in excitement. To think the person who saved her that day was actually Shi Feng! She adored him and his team.
’They’re so strong, the food they cook looks delicious, and the atmosphere between them is so great.’
Huang Wan Zhi had been watching their livestream the entire time it was on.
"They’re my idols."
"After this vacation is over, I have to pay them a personal visit."
Listening to his daughter, Huang Bo Lin kept a smile on his face, but in his heart, he knew the truth.
He and Lin Jingjing’s group were already enemies. The next time they met, it would be a fight to the death.
Besides, they could never return to the Capital Star. If Lin Jingjing knew he was the mastermind, then Yun Yiyou would surely know as well.
It was a kill-or-be-killed situation.
But in front of his daughter, he still had to put on an act. "Alright. When the time comes, I’ll prepare a grand gift for you to bring."
"Thank you, Dad!" Huang Wan Zhi exclaimed. She reached out to give Huang Bo Lin a hug before leaving the room.
After his daughter’s figure disappeared, the smile on Huang Bo Lin’s face slowly faded.
’I will give Shi Feng and his team a grand gift. A very, very grand gift.’
’I’m sure they’ll love it.’

"Found it!"
Standing on his Hoverboard, Mo Xuan looked toward an abandoned welfare home in the distance and shouted into his Star Ring.
Hearing his voice, everyone rushed toward his location.
"Did you find it? Where is it?" Feng He arrived the fastest. She stood on the ground, looking around as she asked.
"It’s in the abandoned welfare home up ahead," Mo Xuan yelled, pointing toward it.
Hearing it was in the welfare home, the people who had just arrived immediately charged toward it.
Once there, they immediately began scanning with their instruments. When they sent down a probe bot, it lit up as expected.
"We found it!"
"We really found it!"
After their moment of joy, they rushed in and began searching the open grounds for the bomb.
After some time, the bomb was revealed to everyone.
The bomb was even larger than they had imagined. A dozen or so people with shovels worked to dig it out of the ground, bit by bit.
Staring at the massive bomb, the few of them were stunned.
"This... how am I supposed to defuse this?"
Mo Xuan’s mouth hung slightly open, his face a mask of astonishment.
"I don’t know how to defuse a bomb like this! We need a professional!" Mo Xuan shouted urgently.
Fortunately, there was a professional bomb disposal expert in the group. Someone volunteered, raising a hand. "Deputy Mo, I can do it."
The one who raised her hand was a small, slender girl. Her frame was a size smaller than everyone else’s, making her look almost like a minor.
But who would have thought that this young girl was the most skilled bomb disposal specialist in the group?
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Gu Kaiwen asked, looking at her with some concern.
"Why couldn’t I? You shouldn’t underestimate me," the girl said, standing there looking quite displeased.
"Don’t let my small size fool you. When it comes to defusing bombs, I’m an expert," the girl said with a smile, patting her chest.
Mo Xuan nodded. ’If she volunteered, it must mean she has the skills to back it up.’
So he chose to trust the girl standing before him.
"Alright, I’ll leave it to you then," Mo Xuan agreed with a nod.
Now that the bomb disposal expert had been decided, he arranged for the others to retreat.
The five of them didn’t retreat, however. They stayed behind to accompany the young girl.
"Captain Lin, you all can go too. I can handle this by myself," the young girl said with a smile, seeing that they had no intention of leaving.
"It’s fine. We’ll stay and keep you company. It must be lonely working here all by yourself," Feng He said.
