Chapter 58: Life or Death Unknown Li Zhangzhou

"Out of service area?" Li Yuan felt a jolt in his heart.

If it couldn't be connected temporarily, it was very normal; perhaps he was busy.

But being out of service area only had two possibilities.

First, the signal at his uncle's location was interfered with.

Second, his uncle was in the Star Realm.

As far as Li Yuan knew, the interior of the Star Realm was very special, seemingly not in the same space as the normal Blue Star world, and many technological weapons would fail, making it very inconvenient to contact.

"Could it be that Uncle had already entered the Star Realm area?" Li Yuan's heart sank.

According to the war news about the Luo Bu Sea, the military and Martial Hall martial artists had already penetrated deep into the Star Realm to counterattack.

And when he communicated with his uncle, his uncle always said he was at the "No. 7 Base" in the rear.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Li Yuan's mind.

"Qianqian, don't worry too much, Uncle will be fine," Li Yuan remained calm on the surface.

Li Yuan didn't want his sister to be frightened.

"It should be that the signal was affected, so it's out of service area."

"Uncle has always been in the rear; even if there is an accident in the war, he can quickly withdraw," Li Yuan comforted her. "Aunt might be in class and unable to answer the phone, don't worry too much."

The middle school Li Qianqian and Li Muhua attended was not the same school where Chen Hui worked.

"Really? Brother!" Li Qianqian seemed relieved, but still full of worry. "Is Uncle really in the rear?"

"Naturally, it's true," Li Yuan revealed a smile. "Okay, continue to class first, I will tell you if there is any news."

Hanging up the phone.

The smile on Li Yuan's face disappeared, and he said directly, "Xiaoyu, search immediately for the recent war situation in the Luo Bu Sea and check if a Level 2 war alert has been initiated."

A Level 3 war alert already meant large-scale mobilization of troops and martial artists to reinforce.

Level 2? It meant the entire Star Realm defense line had the risk of being completely breached.

Every province would inevitably provide large-scale support.

"Yes, Master," the auxiliary intelligent responded.

Only a few seconds later.

Hum~ A light screen projection formed.

What was displayed was a news video, exactly the military spokesperson of Xia Nation.

The news release time was thirty minutes ago.

The spokesperson was wearing a military uniform, his face solemn, reporting with a trace of sorrow.

"……Tier-2 Star Realm Luo Bu Sea……, since last September, so far, more than 11,000 people have sacrificed…… initiating Level 2 war alert," the spokesperson said solemnly.

"I believe that in this battle, Xia Nation will win, and humanity will win."

Following closely, the news revealed in the light screen was about large-scale assembly and mobilization in various places.

"Twenty-nine martial arts university support teams."

"Combat robot legions."

"Aerospace forces."

On the vast wilderness, multi-functional combat vehicles speeding forward continuously……

On the airport runway, fighter jets and aircraft taking off continuously……

On both sides of the high-speed rail line, combat robot legions ready to go……

……In various parts of Xia Nation, the combat-ready martial artist teams stationed by the two major Martial Halls also began to set off urgently.

Support from all sides.

……

All of this.

Nothing but explaining how urgent and dangerous the war in the Luo Bu Sea Star Realm was.

Looking at the news on the light screen, Li Yuan couldn't help but clench his fists, the veins on the back of his hands faintly bulging.

In an instant.

Li Yuan thought of the Star Realm disaster he had personally experienced more than ten years ago.

He survived.

But his parents left forever.

Now, is this scene going to be staged again? Uncle, even if he is in the so-called rear, it is the rear of the front line.

Is it definitely safe?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan subconsciously looked out the window.

It was still sunny and cherry blossoms were fragrant.

Through the window, he could see a large number of students on the side of the martial arts teaching building, still carrying out martial arts practice in an orderly manner, and many students were even playing.

The Level 2 war alert had just been issued not long ago.

Except for the military and the two major Martial Halls, most ordinary people probably didn't know.

Besides, Beijiang Province is very far from Jiangbei Province.

The Level 2 war alert mainly involved the mobilization of military martial artists, at most conscripting retired soldiers, and would not carry out total national mobilization, nor would it cause a major impact on Jiangcheng City.

"Xiaoyu, help me connect to Uncle," Li Yuan said in a low voice.

"Beep—Target is out of service area, unable to contact," Xiaoyu responded.

"Connect to Aunt," Li Yuan said again.

"Beep—beep—" Every second felt like a long wait.

It connected.

But Chen Hui didn't turn on the light screen, only voice communication was displayed.

"Aunt?" Li Yuan said directly. "Luo Bu Sea……"

"Little Yuan, I know, don't worry," Chen Hui's voice was quite calm. "Just after I received the news, I immediately called a colleague at your uncle's company headquarters and asked."

"The No. 7 Base where your uncle is located has not been attacked, they have already started to retreat, but the signal is estimated to be affected."

Chen Hui said, "It is estimated that he will call us tonight or tomorrow."

"Is that so?" Li Yuan felt slightly relieved.

What he was most worried about was that the place where his uncle was located had been attacked and lost contact.

"Yes, you don't have to worry too much," Chen Hui's voice was quite relaxed. "Okay, I'm going to have a meeting, hanging up first."

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone.

……Inside an office at the school, it was empty, and other teachers had gone to class.

Hanging up the phone with Li Yuan.

"Zhangzhou." Chen Hui's eyes were red, faintly with tears, and her fingertips flipped through the light screen.

Another chat screen appeared, and the other party's note name was "Manager Liu of the Xia Construction Ninth Bureau."

The last message sent by the other party clearly wrote: "Chen Hui, don't be anxious, the No. 3 Base where Old Li and the others are located has indeed lost contact, but the company has not confirmed it has completely fallen. The war base is very solid, and there is still hope for rescue."

No. 3 Base is an advance base.

"Must!"

"Must survive," Chen Hui muttered in her heart.

What echoed in her mind were all the scenes she had experienced with Li Zhangzhou for twenty years.

Chen Hui understood that the front line of the war was so dangerous, and the entire war base had lost contact…… the hope was slim.

However.

Without getting the accurate news that the base had completely fallen, Chen Hui would still hold onto hope.

……

Hanging up the phone with his aunt, Li Yuan felt relieved, not as worried as before.

Suddenly, his eyes widened.

No! Something is wrong!

"If Uncle is really safe, Aunt would definitely show worry, and might even complain to me," Li Yuan's thoughts were like lightning. "But Aunt spoke too lightly."

This is not Aunt's personality.

At the same time, Li Yuan also thought, why didn't Aunt turn on the video?

Could it be?

After taking a deep breath, Li Yuan said again, "Xiaoyu, help me contact Wang Haoyu, the note is Uncle Wang."

Wang Haoyu was his uncle's former department colleague and also his uncle's good friend.

Li Yuan remembered that when he was in elementary school, Uncle Wang and his uncle Li Zhangzhou often drank and ate together.

It was just that since his uncle applied for an overseas assignment, the two had much less contact.

Soon it connected, and a middle-aged man in a suit appeared on the light screen.

"Uncle Wang," Li Yuan's face was full of anxiety. "How is my second uncle? Can you contact him? Have they withdrawn?"

"Little Yuan, you know?" Uncle Wang in the video was stunned.

"Basically, I know everything," Li Yuan's face was full of anxiety. "Wasn't it said that the war was almost over? How could it suddenly be like this? Uncle Wang, do you know the latest situation?"

"Since your aunt told you, I won't hide it from you," Uncle Wang sighed. "The No. 3 Base, although it wasn't the first wave to be counterattacked, is located on the edge of the Star Realm, and it is indeed out of contact now, it should have been besieged."

No. 3 Base? Li Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Uncle is not at No. 7 Base, but at No. 3 Base?

"But No. 3 Base is an advance base, the most solid, and the country is mobilizing forces to rescue it," Uncle Wang said in a low voice. "Perhaps they can be rescued…… in short, there is still hope."

"In addition."

Uncle Wang hesitated and said, "Little Yuan, I heard that you have achieved something in martial arts, and even got the title of 'Youth Hero.' I was happy for you when I knew it before."

"You have grown up. If, I mean if…… it is really the worst result, you must be strong, take good care of your aunt, and your younger brother and sister, understand?" Uncle Wang looked at the white-clad youth who was somewhat silent on the other end of the video.

Uncle Wang couldn't bear it and even felt his words were a bit cruel.

He watched Li Yuan grow up.

But he felt that at this time, he should entrust Li Yuan with a few words.

"I understand, I understand everything," Li Yuan said in a low voice. "Uncle Wang, don't worry, I will take good care of the family."

"Okay, in two days, I will come to see you and your aunt," Uncle Wang said finally. "I'm busy here, call me if anything happens."

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Wang," Li Yuan hung up the phone.

Inside the martial arts room.

Li Yuan was a bit dazed, even with a trace of dizziness, his mind full of Uncle Wang's words just now, No. 3 Base!

Lost contact, possibly fallen?

And, he also heard from Uncle Wang's words that there was a high probability that his uncle would not return alive.

"Must."

"There must be hope."

"Uncle, must still be alive," Li Yuan clenched his fists, his heart aching like a knife, full of despair.

However, Li Yuan still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Standing on the spot, motionless.

Li Yuan was silent for a long time.

Seeming to have figured something out, Li Yuan began to send some messages to some people, including his younger brother and sister.

Whoosh!

Li Yuan bent down gently and picked up the big spear he had thrown on the ground just now.

"What has happened cannot be changed."

"Whether Uncle can survive, I can't decide either; that depends on the national army, on the martial artists," Li Yuan gritted his teeth. He was very worried, his heart was trembling.

"I can only pray that Uncle can return safely."

In Li Yuan's heart, Uncle and Father were no different.

"If…… it is really that kind of result," Li Yuan's eyes were slightly red. "Just like what Uncle Wang said."

"I must support this family."

"Uncle, definitely wouldn't want me to be sad and decadent; he would rather I live like a man," Li Yuan clenched his fists.

His eye sockets were slightly red, but tears never fell.

Li Yuan didn't continue to make calls, nor did he look at the news again.

Instead, he practiced the spear again!

Spear shadows appeared again.

Whistling and blooming in the martial arts room, Rock Foundation Pillar, Dragon Hidden in Rock Ravines, Myriad Phenomena of Mountains…… one by one, the Rock Spear Technique killing moves were executed by him.

"Kill!"

"Kill!" At this moment, Li Yuan felt that the big sandbag in front of him had turned into a Yuling clansman.

Turned into those bloodthirsty Star Realm creatures.

In Li Yuan's heart, there was an irrepressible worry and sadness, and even a trace of anger, wanting to vent it out happily.

Thrusting and slashing the spear again and again, time passed, and Li Yuan's spear technique became faster and faster!

More and more fierce.

It had already surpassed the past! Truly beginning to touch a brand new realm.
