Su Guowei’s current attitude clearly explained one thing. His request was not made as Mountain Condor, but as a father.
Zhao Gang and Feng Shaoyu both expressed their understanding of this, so they did not refuse. Instead, they asked Su Guowei to rest in the command room first. Feng Shaoyu quickly told everyone that Mountain Condor had come.
All the civil and military officials in the court were dressed in robes. Chang’an could hear Chongguan’s words. The originally not spacious command room became overcrowded because of Su Guowei’s arrival. Furthermore, any one of the people present would at least be in a position of provincial level.
Among these people, there were high-ranking officials in the military and officials. In this year, it was rare to gather so many big shots for one person. After more than 20 years, the name Mountain Condor was almost no longer known by others.
However, to the previous generation, this name had more meaning than code names. When everyone mentioned what happened 25 years ago, they would always have a serious expression on their faces. They wanted to say something but hesitated.
At this moment, Su Guowei would wave his hand and interrupt. “Let’s not talk about the past. I’m only here for my son now.”
Even though so many big shots present said that Su Guowei only needed to wait for their news here, Su Guowei put on his raincoat very firmly. As he walked out, he said to everyone, “I have to do it myself. My son must be waiting for me now.’
Many higher-ups looked at Su Guowei’s lonely figure as he walked into the heavy rain, their eyes filled with pity.
“In the blink of an eye, it’s been 25 years. Even Mountain Condor is old.” Looking at Su Guowei’s back, Zhao Gang sighed deeply.
Feng Shaoyu stood at the side and nodded gently. “I didn’t expect Su Yun to be Su Guowei’s son. The son of Mountain Condor is naturally extraordinary.”
“That’s right, like father, like son!”
Everyone did not stay here for long. Instead, they quickly rushed into the heavy rain again. The search and rescue operation was carried out day and night. Everyone only had one goal, and that was to find Su Yun.
They did not dare to think too deeply that there was no chance for Su Yun and Chen Jie, who were buried in the ruins, to survive after three days had passed.
Although no one said it explicitly, they actually had the same thought in their hearts. No matter if he was alive or dead, they wanted to see him.
On the devastated ruins of Cangluan Mountain, there were several search and rescue teams operating day and night. As the days passed, the chances of Su Yun surviving were getting slimmer and slimmer.
Xu Jiajia’s hands were already dripping with blood. The wounds on her hands would often add new wounds before they recovered. But it was as if she could no longer feel any pain. All she wanted to do was dig out Su Yun, who was buried under the ruins, as soon as possible.
Su Guowei was even more so. Perhaps no one present could understand the pain in his heart. Days passed, but there was still no news of Su Yun. Although Su Guowei did not say it, the pain in his heart increased day by day. He kept talking to Su Yun in his heart, telling him to hold on until he found him. Otherwise, not only did Su Guowei not know how to face this matter, but he also did not know how to tell Yang Shan about it.
Chen Ye, Xu Kui, and the others had already started a large-scale search of the mountain with the archeological team. They hoped to find other usable breakthrough points on the Cangluan Mountain.
After all, according to his estimation, it would take at least a week to completely clean up this ruin and find the buried tomb.
At that time, it might be too late.
Everyone broke out in cold sweat because of Su Yun. The upper echelons of the various factions had gathered on Cangluan Mountain for Su Yun alone.
Helicopters filled the sky and circled over Cangluan Mountain 24 hours a day.
Professor Sun and the others had not slept for a few days and nights. They stared straight at the thermal imaging display in front of them, hoping to find
Su Yun’s thermal imaging reaction from the detector in the search team’s hand.
However, all of this seemed to be in vain. From the beginning to the end, no one made any progress. The ruins were being cleared step by step, but it was not a simple matter to find the buried tomb and clear the ruins.
The public opinion on the Internet was getting wider and wider. Everyone was praying for this unknown hero. The officials did not express their stance for a long time. In the eyes of the netizens, it was a form of tacit approval. So much so that everyone was sweating for this nameless hero.
This sudden rainstorm did not show any signs of dissipating even for the next few days. Not only did this greatly increase the difficulty of the rescue team’s work, but it also made Professor Sun and the others feel depressed.
In their opinion, perhaps even the heavens were crying over the death of a young hero.
Crack.. crack… crack…
In the dark underground canyon, the sound of cutting trees kept coming from the dense forest.
Su Yun and Chen Jie followed the stagnant water and finally arrived here. A steep underground cliff blocked their path. The cliff formed a 90-degree angle with the ground. The height was at least 50 meters..
