49: Depressed Alice

"Shh, don't make a sound. Wei He sent me to save you!" Huang Yichen said calmly.

"Wei He? Is that the person who killed so many people and is the target of the Empire's punitive expedition? I don't know him. Why is he looking for me?" Su Qinglei asked, looking puzzled.

"This is no place to linger. Come with me first!" Huang Yichen was worried that Alice might return at this moment; if he were to face a Magister-level mage, he would definitely be doomed.

"No way. The General treats me so well. I don't want to leave. My home is in the Northern Province. The despicable demons killed my entire family and kidnapped me, but thanks to the General who saved me and kept me by her side, I haven't had to wander the streets or suffer bullying!" Su Qinglei said with tears in her eyes.

"Leave! If you don't leave, I'll kill you!" Huang Yichen said, a fierce look appearing in his eyes.

"The General will be back soon. You should leave quickly. If she really comes back, you won't be able to get away!" Su Qinglei certainly didn't believe he would kill her; if he wanted to kill her, he would have done it long ago, so she didn't know why this demon, Wei He, was looking for her.

"Ah!" Seeing that Su Qinglei was unwilling to leave, Huang Yichen simply tapped the back of her head, and Su Qinglei fainted.

Alice, who was examining the insane soldier, suddenly raised her head, her eyes lighting up as she said: "There are energy fluctuations. The enemy is here!" After speaking, she tapped her toes lightly and flew toward her tent.

Alice opened the tent flap. There was nothing unusual inside, including the large hole in the ground from earlier; it had disappeared, replaced by a flat floor and the unchanging interior decorations. The only difference was that Su Qinglei, who was supposed to be boiling tea in the tent, was gone.

"The tea is still hot. She hasn't gone far!" Alice said, holding the teacup on the table.

With the energy fluctuation that had just appeared and the fact that Su Qinglei was now missing, Alice instinctively assumed that Su Qinglei had been kidnapped.

And that was indeed the case. While Alice was ordering her subordinates to hurry and search for Su Qinglei, Huang Yichen had already placed her on a night hawk helicopter, and under the cover of night, the night hawk helicopter flew rapidly toward the Danga Archipelago.

"How is it? Have you found her?" Alice, who hadn't slept all night, asked her subordinates early in the morning.

"Reporting to the General, there is still no sign of Miss Su. Moreover, the people we sent out have either had their limbs crippled by something unknown, or they suddenly started going crazy and attacking their companions. There is really no way to carry out the work!" the soldier reported truthfully to Alice.

"What exactly is going on?" Alice said, her brows furrowed.

"General, from yesterday until now, we haven't seen anyone around. Could it be that too many people died in this forest before, making it an inauspicious place? In my opinion, it would be best to leave as soon as possible!" a person wearing general's armor nearby said.

"Order the army to set out today, but leave a team behind to continue searching for Su Qinglei. Tell them to be careful!" Alice said calmly, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Yes!" Everyone received the order and exited Alice's tent.

In a pink carriage, Alice was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, while three giant purple horses pulled the carriage, moving forward slowly.

It had been three days since the last attack. The team sent to look for Su Qinglei had not returned, and whether they were marching or camping, people were inexplicably getting injured, dying, or starting to go crazy and attacking their companions.

Therefore, everyone's nerves were strained, fearing that the person next to them would suddenly go crazy or be beaten or injured by something unknown.

This caused every soldier to not get proper rest and become exhausted. When marching, they were like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring; at the slightest sign of trouble, they would scatter and flee, making the marching speed extremely slow.

The Sniper and Yuri did not attack continuously, as that would have been discovered long ago. After each attack, they quickly changed positions and attacked again after an interval, leaving them confused and unable to find the enemy.

Now, Alice's attempts to send people to find the enemy also caused non-combat attrition. Camping and marching both resulted in casualties. In three days, more than 3,000 soldiers had lost their combat effectiveness. If this continued, those soldiers would sooner or later mutiny.

Alice had never fought such a frustrating battle. In the past, when dealing with the Lingshu Kingdom, or even the demons, she could just wave her hand and cause countless casualties. Even if someone ambushed her, she could easily detect their energy fluctuations and easily find and eliminate them.

But now, except for the slight energy fluctuation that appeared when Su Qinglei first disappeared, there had been none since.

This made Alice feel very frustrated, but in front of her soldiers, she could only pretend to be calm.

In the Danga Archipelago, at the Red Alert Base, Su Qinglei had been there for three days. She had gradually calmed down from her initial panic and was carefully observing the entire island.

Aside from some strange steel buildings on the island and various strange people (red alert soldiers), everything else was quite good.

"Su Qinglei, do you really not remember me?" Wei He appeared beside Su Qinglei and asked, his tone slightly anxious.

"Why are you still asking that? I said, I don't know you at all. You've got the wrong person!" Su Qinglei said impatiently.

"Then when did you transmigrate here?" Wei He continued to ask.

"Wasn't I captured by your people and brought here? Why are you still asking?" Su Qinglei said, speechless.

"I mean, when did you transmigrate from Blue Star to this world?" Wei He explained.

"Blue Star? Where is Blue Star? I don't know what you are talking about. I have always lived in the Lingshu Kingdom. Later, because of the demon invasion, the General happened to pass by and saved me. I don't know what this transmigration or Blue Star nonsense you are talking about is!" Su Qinglei explained patiently.

"Could it really be just a resemblance? That's impossible. This is a one-to-one recreation. Even the name is the same!" Wei He muttered to himself, puzzled.

"What resemblance? What are you talking about?" Su Qinglei felt that Wei He was simply inexplicable.

"Oh, it's nothing. You can play here. Whenever you want to go back, let me know, and I will send you back!" Wei He said, feeling disappointed after realizing that the person in front of him was not her.

"Oh, I see!" Su Qinglei replied suspiciously, not knowing what Wei He was up to.

"By the way, are there any ships leaving here? I want to go out and buy some things." When Su Qinglei arrived here, she was in a coma and woke up directly on the island, but since Wei He could live here, there must be a way to get out.

"Yes, you can take this to leave!" Wei He didn't care why she wanted to go out; even if she wanted to escape, it didn't matter, because he was going to send her back anyway.

A night hawk helicopter descended from the sky. The strong wind caused by the propellers blew Su Qinglei's hair, which made Wei He feel a little moved. When the night hawk helicopter landed steadily, Su Qinglei looked curiously at this flying metal object.

"This is my first time seeing a flying metal object. What is this?" she asked curiously, looking at this blue-grey thing.

"This is the transportation for you to leave the island!" Wei He opened the cabin door first and walked up.

Seeing Wei He walk up, Su Qinglei learned from him and walked up as well.

When the night hawk helicopter took off, Su Qinglei first danced and screamed in fear, but after realizing there was no danger, she began to tidy up her appearance, while curiously looking at the scenery outside.
