Chapter 299 Drying the Wounds
Chapter 299 Drying the Wounds
It was Mrs. Seaforth on the phone.
The purpose was not for her husband, but for her daughter who was far away.
Everyone was deeply concerned about Sifos' disappearance, but at such times, they had to act as if they were indestructible, whether at school, at work, or in front of their relatives and friends.
The three children seemed to have matured overnight. Even Ryan, who was usually the most noisy, became much quieter, not to mention Ryan, who was already taciturn, and Kane, who had the strongest sense of responsibility.
As Elman thought, they didn't believe that Sifos would die. As long as there was no bad news, it was good news.
To put it another way, even if Sifos really has some strengths and weaknesses, they have to continue living.
Compared to the clueless black hole, they were more worried about Selvie. She was fine when she left, but she couldn't come back when she came back! How could this be? I don't know how scared the child would be. I'm afraid she would think that her family didn't want her anymore.
In the vast universe, they only knew that Selvie was on the planet Goodall. But where this planet was was a mystery. Even though Mrs. Seaforth and her two sons had been there, they could not ask them to show them the way.
They had no choice but to ask Elman for help. After all, the Fourth Army was now under his control. They didn't know, but the soldiers who followed Sifos and were responsible for driving the starship must know. If they could find these soldiers, Wei'er's whereabouts would be known.
After hanging up the phone, Elman immediately searched for files about the planet Goodall on his computer, but unexpectedly discovered that it was classified as top secret and only the highest commander of each district had the authority to view it.
And his ancestor who was floating around somewhere unknown obviously had no contact with him.
Elman covered his face and sighed deeply.
The idea of directly asking the relevant people to come over was shattered. And my friend classified it as top secret and obviously didn't want to make it public, so I could only use the stupid method of passing it on step by step.
But in the end, they found that no one was on duty. Those soldiers who had been to the planet Goodall happened to be brought to that battle by Sifos.
It's normal... normal... those who can participate in special missions must be elites. The more capable they are, the more work they do, and the more they get. If I get it, I'm lucky. If I lose, it's my fate... My fate is too miserable.
Elman didn't believe in Buddhism, but now he wants to go and worship. Why is it that Sifos is the one who disappeared and suffers?
After the breakdown, you still have to face life positively.
Selvie was so cute, and he had even held her in his arms. For the sake of the person who called him uncle, he had to get her back.
So, the scene on the starship appeared.
It is clear that the stories circulating about the planet Goodall are not exaggerations.
Everything was fine on the way here, but the closer we got to the recorded location, the more unexpected situations occurred.
At first, it was just the generator fault light that sounded, but after testing, it was found that the motor field was de-energized and the line contactor was disconnected. Elman gave up the reconnection and activated the backup battery.
Then the automatic control system failed, the navigation system failed, the audio system malfunctioned, there was constant voice noise, and in the end one of the starships was like a drunk, swaying and showing signs of falling.
Elman quickly ordered it to turn around and leave the current area.
Ten minutes later, the pilot, who had run more than 2,000 kilometers, reported in shock that the starship had returned to normal.
This strange phenomenon caused a surge in psychological pressure on those who stayed behind. Hearing about it and experiencing it in person are two completely different things.
Elman could only order the patrol ships that were still fully functional to speed up their exploration. Even if they couldn't find any inhabited planets, they would draw an electronic map and record the paths they had taken, and then study them slowly when they got back.
The first operation ended in failure, and Elman ordered the fleet to return.
The Sivers family was naturally disappointed when they heard the news. Mrs. Sivers regretted for the first time that she was too rigid and did not ask her husband about the mystery even though she was curious.
But fortunately, not nothing was gained.
Elman gave them a copy of the action report. If you look closely, you will find that the starship's failure has a certain pattern. With a certain coordinate point as the center of the circle, the closer it is to it, the more serious the failure will be.
Moreover, all the faults involved signal transmission and electromagnetic induction. This made them seem to have grasped something in the thick fog. The planet Goodall was indeed bizarre, but not to the extent of being weird.
The old man began to invest in a scientific research team to develop a new type of detector. Elman also sent sentinels to take turns to monitor whether there were any unusual movements in the target area.
This is not going to be an easy road, but they will not stop.
Xu Weiwei's room was cleaned every day, and everything was the same as before she left. Every year, her family kept her birthday presents and placed them in an empty room, waiting for her to open them herself when she came back.
At first, the servants in the house were very shy about mentioning the names of Sifos and Xu Weiwei, fearing that accidentally mentioning them would upset the master. Until one day, they blurted out the names out of habit.
"Madam, there has been too much rain on Myron Star this year. The quality of the honeydew melon that Miss Wei'er likes to eat is not very good. Do you want..." The maid realized halfway through her words and hurriedly bowed to apologize.
"Isn't that right? I'm sorry, ma'am, I forgot! I didn't mean to...I, please forgive me..."
The maid was about to cry, secretly cursing herself for being so stupid. She couldn't even imagine how painful it was to lose a child. The master treated them very well, but she hurt the master's heart like this...
"Stand up straight." Mrs. Seaforth's voice was gentle, but also carried a hint of irresistible majesty.
The maid hesitated for a moment, then slowly straightened up, but her head was still buried low, not daring to raise it, let alone look into the lady's eyes.
However, to her surprise, Mrs. Seaforth did not blame her. On the contrary, she said calmly, "Don't be shy about mentioning Wei'er's name. She just left us temporarily, not forever. Whether she says it or not, as a mother, I will always remember her."
"It would be disrespectful to associate her with pain and to bury it and never mention it again."
"well said!"
The maid looked up in surprise, then said respectfully, "Master, Madam."
The old couple came down from upstairs hand in hand, and were deeply moved when they heard what their daughter-in-law said.
"Our Bao'er is alive and well! After traveling for a few years, he must have gained more knowledge and become stronger when he came back! This is a good thing, there is nothing to be afraid of! I just can't stand the way you are shrinking back!"
The old man's powerful voice echoed in the villa. He was nearly sixty years old but his face was not depressed at all. His hair was neatly combed, he was wearing a well-tailored suit, and his steps were steady and powerful. He always stood behind his son, making people forget how powerful he was.
The once majestic lion of the empire remains as majestic today.
The housekeeper wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and agreed, "You are right."
He turned to the stunned maid and said, "Just remember what the master said. Come back to me about the purchases at noon. Go down now."
After today's incident, the atmosphere in the Sifos family changed subtly.
Wounded people dry their wounds in the sun instead of wrapping them in the dark to prevent them from rotting and becoming infested with insects.
