He called Lin Zhen’s cell phone while Gao Yan called Lin Zhen’s home. Lin Liye, Lin Zhen’s father, answered but told Gao Yan that Lin Zhen had gone out the day before yesterday and hadn’t returned yet.
While both men were at a loss of what to do next, Shi Lei came over.
“Are you looking for Lin Zhen?” Shi Lei asked.
Zhao Liang looked at Shi Lei somewhat warily. He didn’t want to mention anything regarding Lin Zhen’s situation to anyone, including Shi Lei. He wasn’t sure whether he could still trust the team leader.
Shi Lei gave a bitter smile, and whispered in Zhao Liang’s ear, “Old Zhao, Lin Zhen is my brother. I won’t harm him. Without Lin Zhen, I might never have been able to leave Yi Lan. I also know that he’s a Golden Level Spiritual Mind Master. I hope this clarifies things.”
Zhao Liang stared at Shi Lei in surprise, then laughed. Now that Shi Lei had revealed this information, it proved that Lin Zhen still trusted him.
Shi Lei continued, “We must locate Lin Zhen right now. I have an idea. We could use the satellite surveillance center in our Base City to find each martial artist’s location via their cell phone. We could ask them to ascertain Lin Zhen’s location and then go look for him. We can’t lose Gale Martial Arts Hall’s face todav!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liang hesitated. He was unsure whether or not to look for Lin Zhen. He believed that Lin Zhen had a plan for this fight and was confident that Lin Zhen would eventually show up. However, if Lin Zhen didn’t show up within the next half an hour, it might be too late even if he did turn up.
At this moment, Dongfang Jun called over to Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang had no choice but walk over. Dongfang Jun asked, “Zhao Liang, do you know where Lin Zhen is now? No one answered when I just tried calling Lin Zhen’s cell.”
Zhao Liang shook his head slightly. He truly didn’t Imow where Lin Zhen was, although he was pretty certain that Lin Zhen should still be in Ice City Base City, since they’d spoken over the phone yesterday.
At this point, Lu Ming also said, “Old Zhao, what are you hesitating for? If you can find Lin Zhen, hurry up and do so. As long as he can defeat the Russian, no matter what his requirements are, as long as they’re within my abilities, I will promise him anything!”
After hearing Lu Ming’s words, Zhao Liang made up his mind and said bluntly, “If we really have to look for him, I recommend using satellite location to find Lin Zhen’s cell phone. But it’s better if the people from Base City don’t go. After ascertaining the location, our Demon Hunter team should go to locate him. However, I can’t guarantee whether Lin Zhen will show up.”
“Great! Let’s do it that way. How could I have forgotten this tactic? Get to the surveillance center immediately, take my helicopter. I’ll have people locate him right now.”
Lu Ming quickly dialed a number, while Zhao Liang, Shi Lei, and Gao Yan all got into Lu Ming’s helicopter and headed straight for the Base City Satellite Center.
Just as they stepped out, Meng Dong, pale-faced, tumbled off the stage, but he hadn’t suffered any severe injuries since he knew he couldn’t hold out any longer. He willingly stepped down to avoid injury.
Nelov laughed aloud, “So the martial artists of Gale are just this weak after all.
You have to know, I am the weakest out of the three of us. It seems we are going to trample on Hua Xia’s No.l Martial Arts Hall today!”
Fu Chengya couldn’t bear it any longer, drew his twin swords, and hopped onto the stage. Just as he did, Eva also took out her two Western swords and stepped onto the stage.
Both of their moves were incredibly fast, with hardly any wasted words. They clashed in a confrontation akin to Mars crashing into Earth.
Eva was a Level Nine Fighter in the middle stage while Fu Chengya was at the Peak of Level Eight Fighters. He knew there was a gap in their realms, and thus chose to fight swiftly from the get-go, hoping to execute the fiercest attack and defeat Eva quickly.
Although Eva was a woman, she did not fight impatiently. She deftly deflected with her Western swords and moved lightly. Despite Fu Chengya’s fierce attack, she wasn’t threatened for now.
The deadlock seemed temporary, but the watching martial artists felt uneasy, worried that Fu Chengya would not be able to hold out till the end due to fatigue.
Someone posted online calling for Lin Zhen to appear quickly, but most people still didn’t think highly of Lin Zhen. They questioned — if Lin Zhen could really turn the tables, why wouldn’t he appear now? Was he hiding because he knew he had no chance of winning?
While the fight ensued, Zhao Liang and the others reached the satellite surveillance center.
They entered the surveillance center’s control room and found a group of technicians conducting the tracking mission.
“Starting satellite positioning, identifying the phone number… Location within the Ice City Base City.”
The satellite image on the big screen was centered on Base City, confirming that Lin Zhen was currently in Base City. This made Zhao Liang and the others breathe a sigh of relief, as it would be quite a hassle if Lin Zhen weren’t in Base
“Satellite positioning phase two, identifying regional location…identified as Ice City’s North District.”
Zhao Liang and the others exchanged glances. The North District, wasn’t that where Lin Zhen’s house was? Could it be that Lin Zhen never left his house?
“Satellite positioning phase three, identifying exact location… identified as Ice City Water Park.”
The North District of Ice City Base City is considered a rich area, mostly filled with villas, and it also has a water park. A water park in such an expensive land area is very rare. There have been suggestions in the past to turn this water park into a residential area, but they were almost unanimously vetoed by everyone. This is because it is a rare recreational area for the people and it must not be demolished. Otherwise, people wouldn’t have anywhere to have fun.
However, it was now deep winter, and the water park there had been sealed off because of the freezing temperatures. Hardly anyone goes there now. What was Lin Zhen doing there?
“Can we get a more precise location?” Shi Lei asked.
The final phase of satellite positioning began, pinpointing Lin Zhen’s location near the waterfall in the water park.
“Let’s go over there and take a look.”
The group quickly left the satellite center and took the mayor’s helicopter straight to the water park.
The helicopter was extremely fast, and in less than ten minutes, they had already arrived above the waterfall in the water park.
However, there was no place to land the helicopter here, so they had to land at a small plaza 300 meters away from the waterfall.
Zhao Liang and the others got off the plane and immediately bolted towards the direction of the waterfall.
Time was running out. In the scene of the fight, Fu Chengya had gone from attacking to defending, and it was becoming clear that he was severely fatigued. Meanwhile, Eva had gone from defending to attacking and had started a fierce counter offence. It seems the match will be decided soon.
As they approached the waterfall, they could hear the sound of rushing water. This waterfall, and its natural source from the Songhua River, was the source of all the water in the park and the only place that wouldn’t freeze over. However, upon reaching there, the group could not find any trace of Lin Zhen.
“Call him!”
Zhao Liang quickly took out his phone and started to dial.
The call got through quickly, and they even heard Lin Zhen’s phone ringing.
“The phone is here!”
Gao Yan called out, and everyone saw that a mobile phone was abandoned on a bench nearby, ringing intermittently.
“This is undoubtedly Lin Zhen’s phone, but where did he go? Why would he abandon his phone on this bench?”
Everyone looked around and was a little stunned.
The surroundings were void of people. At this time, there was no one in the water park. Even if there were some people ice skating, they would be on the far side of the artificial lake where the ice was more solid. The ice surface near the waterfall was not sturdy, so no one came here to skate.
Only the waterfall ahead was roaring down, and no one knew where Lin Zhen was.
“This is really strange, where’s Lin Zhen?”
Before they could find Lin Zhen, Fu Chengya was defeated at the martial arts hall, leaving everyone anxious and desperate..
