Chapter 588: Chapter 417 This is Not a Dream
After leaving the office, Dong Tianyu tentatively made a call to Ye Liuyun, just as Dong had suspected, although the call was connected, the person answering was not Ye Liuyun. Instead, they notified Dong Tianyu that Ye Liuyun was rather busy recently and not very convenient to take calls, stating that he would contact Dong Tianyu after he was done with his urgent matters.
Hearing this, Dong Tianyu understood that Ye Liuyun’s phone had been tapped. It seemed the matter had blown up far more than expected.
However, Dong Tianyu had never imagined that Butterfly and those people could cause such a commotion. It seemed they truly despised Ye Liuyun.
Just after walking out of the airport office building, Dong Tianyu thought that if those people could detonate a bomb on the plane as the passengers disembarked, it meant they definitely were observing the situation from somewhere in the airport at the time; otherwise, they couldn’t have set off the bomb so promptly.
With this in mind, Dong Tianyu immediately expanded his Divine Sense, hoping to find any suspicious individuals within the airport. Yet as soon as Dong Tianyu deployed his Divine Sense, he suddenly discovered that many areas within the airport were capable of shielding against Divine Sense.
Dong Tianyu did not know if this was because his cultivation level was not high enough and his Divine Sense too weak, or if the newly emerged mineral veins after the disaster all had the effect of blocking Divine Sense.
Thinking this, Dong Tianyu shook his head somewhat helplessly and finally left the airport with a calm expression.
Unbeknownst to Dong Tianyu, the moment he stepped out of the office building’s main door, he was already being watched. Although Dong was not a Martial Artist, if someone were to directly stake him out, Dong would still be able to sense that he was being tailed.
However, the professionals tracking him had become more astute. Although Martial Artists possess a keen sixth sense and often could intuitively sense the direction of someone watching them directly,
now these professionals avoided direct methods of surveillance and instead utilized the principle of mirror reflection. Each reflection off a mirror diminished the intuitive response of the person being followed. As long as they set up several reflecting mirrors, under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the target to intuitively sense being monitored by others.
Even though this method was undetectable by the target’s intuition, since it required multiple reflections off mirrors, the surveillance equipment was quite bulky and conspicuous, which could easily attract the attention of others.
Under normal circumstances, Dong Tianyu would have easily noticed this very peculiar suspicious person if he had expanded his Divine Sense in the airport. But the man was lucky, stationed in a building with an exterior fashioned from special metals. Therefore, in Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense, this place was precisely in an unobservable location, thus evading Dong’s scrutiny a moment ago.
With this incident, Dong Tianyu did not go home that evening but randomly found an unoccupied spot and directly entered the Cave.
The night was filled with the dance of dragon fish.
The next morning, Kyoto had arranged for a plane to come ahead of schedule. However, unlike before, ground crew did not leave the plane to take a break as usual, but stayed on board, ready for takeoff at any moment.
No one except passengers was allowed near the plane, and passengers had to undergo a professional and thorough check before receiving their boarding passes.
For such a procedure, everyone was actually unsurprised, as among them today were several lucky ’survivors’ like Dong Tianyu from the day before. The more stringent the checks, the more at peace they felt.
This time, after boarding the plane, Dong Tianyu did not experience the sudden feeling of palpitation as he did upon entering the plane last time. This comforted him quite a bit, indicating that the incident from the day before must have truly been targeted at only Ye Liuyun.
As the plane soared through the clouds, Dong Tianyu, watching the buildings below grow smaller, was not preoccupied with Ye Liuyun’s affairs but was focused on the Data Layout screen. When a countdown suddenly appeared, Dong Tianyu knew that a new round of disasters was about to descend.
Thinking of the basement his father had secretly dug out at home, Dong Tianyu had already filled it with various long-term storage emergency food and water, providing him with considerable peace of mind.
Under normal conditions, the duration of a disaster was typically half a year to a year. Considering that, as long as his parents weren’t wasteful or overly generous with their aid to others, the stored food could satisfy not just the two of them with their modest appetites, but even two more big eaters if need be.
In terms of provisions, whether Dong Tianyu was at Saxon County Camp or not, it would not greatly affect his parents.
As for safety, the current Saxon County Camp was different from before, with the city defenses no longer patchy as in the beginning. Multiple layers of city walls maximized the protection of the camp’s safety, and the number of survivors was incomparably greater than before. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the defensive strength of the camp was in no way inferior to Pengcheng.
Thus, Dong Tianyu could rest easy about his parents staying at Saxon County Camp. It was precisely for this reason that he could comfortably return to Kyoto.
Perhaps because of the strict checks before boarding, the flight to Kyoto proceeded without any mishaps. After Dong Tianyu got home, he notified Yara the next day to collect the goods.
Upon receiving Dong Tianyu’s notice, Yara did not dare to delay. Initially, her cooperation with Dong Tianyu was merely intended as a small venture, as nowadays, ancient creature meat was far superior to that of pigs, cows, and sheep, both nutritionally and otherwise.
