Chapter 244: Back to the Beginning
The convoy proceeded through the heavy snow.
Inside the vehicle, Han Yi suddenly spoke up, "Let’s call it off."
The soldier sitting in the driver’s seat quickly stopped the car, turned his head towards Han Yi in confusion, and asked, "Chief? ... Are we not searching anymore?"
The soldier was puzzled. The chief and his wife were deeply in love. They had only been searching for two hours, so why call it off now? Was it because he was concerned about the weather, thus deciding to give up?
Han Yi was engulfed in an extremely gloomy mood, his face utterly expressionless.
"Contact Xiao Jian, tell him to call off the search." His voice was both hoarse and tired.
The soldier mumbled a response and took out the communicator to contact Xiao Jian.
The winds and snow outside were getting stronger, and the people from other bases had already returned to their camps, leaving only some logistical personnel clearing the battlefield.
However, the soldiers from the Space-Time Base, after the battle had ended, did not return. Instead, they all stayed behind, searching for signs of the chief’s wife amidst the snow—no footprints, no tire tracks, no clues at all. It was as if Han Jiaojiao had vanished into thin air. They only found the bodies of the driver and the bodyguard, both killed by a gunshot from the most common type of bullet used by many soldiers here.
The search area kept expanding, but still, no news came back.
