Chapter 409: Chapter 409 Wanwan, I’m here
If they were still alive, that meant they weren’t anywhere else.
The most likely possibility was that they had been taken to Central City!
Su Wan said, "Sister Li mentioned that Central City would recruit workers after some time, we could sneak in."
Not knowing the situation, they definitely couldn’t resort to using force, and Su Wan had already tried, she couldn’t summon the Vermilion Bird Mech either.
They could only rely on their wits.
But this would mean a longer delay.
She hoped Ajue and the others wouldn’t come in!
What Su Wan didn’t know was that Gu Jue and Agros had also arrived at the place where they had encountered the white mushrooms.
Gu Jue looked at the Photon Cannon that lay on the ground.
Agros walked over, picked up the Photon Cannon, and immediately recognized it.
"This is from the Eighth Starship Fleet!"
Gu Jue looked around.
Wanwan and the others must have run into trouble here.
There were no signs of a struggle.
None at all...
White Tiger: "Master, I’ve searched already; there’s no signal from Vermilion Bird around here. It’s strange; even if the lady had an accident, Vermilion Bird’s signal shouldn’t be lost!"
"Wanwan couldn’t possibly be in trouble!"
"Right, the lady definitely couldn’t be in trouble! What I meant... It’s as if they vanished into thin air!"
After meticulous calculations and signal scanning searches, plus the fact that there were no signs of struggle here,
White Tiger came to a conclusion.
Vanished into thin air!
And it was a collective disappearance!
Gu Jue turned around and suddenly saw white mushrooms sprouting from the ground not far away.
He remembered that there had been no mushrooms here before.
Agros also noticed those white mushrooms; he did not touch them directly.
Instead, he took out his instrument, ready to examine them.
And then, thin mycelium threads emerged from within!
"Commander, get away quickly!"
The mycelium was too fast and had already entangled Agros; sensing trouble, he hoped Gu Jue would avoid them.
Actually, Gu Jue could have evaded the mycelium’s attack.
Even though they were difficult to deal with,
But when he saw Agros’s body gradually disappearing, he realized something.
Perhaps, this was how Wanwan and the others had vanished!
Gu Jue didn’t avoid the mycelium; he stood still.
White Tiger’s voice became anxious, "Master, I, my signal is becoming unstable, it’s like, like that time we went to the black hole..."
Sshhh.
White Tiger’s voice vanished completely.
A black hole?
Gu Jue frowned slightly, then he looked up and saw the mycelium cautiously approaching him.
At first, it seemed almost afraid.
But when they sensed Gu Jue wasn’t moving, they became bolder and gently touched his body.
Then, his body began to disappear bit by bit!
Gu Jue watched as his body slowly vanished, his heart strong, he didn’t feel fear or horror.
If it was like the black hole, then either they had crossed an immensely vast space,
Or they had... arrived in another universe!
Gu Jue’s eyes suddenly lit up!
If that was really the case, it also meant that Wanwan must still be alive!
Wanwan, I’m coming.
Darkness descended...

When Su Wan and Meiling planned to leave, they suddenly found many people walking toward the gate of Central City.
There was a notice board... The electronics in this world were truly primitive; Su Wan saw them still using devices resembling mobile phones.
Of course, there were no lightbrains.
There were even things like signboards.
She immediately went over to Meiling to take a look.
A tall man stood in front, who seemed to have been pushed by someone. He turned around, visibly annoyed, about to curse out loud.
But then he saw Su Wan and Meiling.
Especially Su Wan, who, despite wearing plain clothes, had attractive features that were on display.
Her dark eyes looked at him with a lively expression.
The man’s face turned beet red in an instant.
The curses he intended to hurl were swallowed back alive!
Su Wan, "Excuse me, what is written on the signboard?"
The man immediately said, "It’s the job recruitment needs of Central City. There are two recruitments a year, but the number of people and positions are variable."
It made sense; working in Central City was highly sought after.
The competition was also very fierce.
Su Wan, "What are the job types this time?"
The man, "They are looking for chefs and blacksmiths."
Su Wan’s eyes suddenly lit up!
After confirming that registration was possible tomorrow, Su Wan took Meiling and left.
They still walked around the outskirts of Central City, returning to the circus around noon.
Lin Yu and Qiao had also returned, and everyone shared their findings.
Lin Yu, "There is a big problem with this Central City. Our arrival here is certainly related to them."
Meiling, "Other team members must be in Central City!"
Su Wan, "The other team members are all beastmen. Does that mean the people from Central City have captured all the beastmen? What are they planning to do with them?"
Everyone fell silent.
This matter was too strange.
If the other teammates were indeed captured by the people of Central City,
then it could be certain that people there harbored great hostility towards beastmen!
But then again, even without mechas and other weapons, the combat power of beastmen was not weak.
How did they manage to capture all the beastmen?
What are they planning to do after capturing the beastmen?
And most importantly... why was Su Wan unharmed?
All were question marks!
Su Wan looked around at everyone and finally said, "Tomorrow, Meiling and I will go to apply for the chef positions. You guys keep an eye out outside, see if you can find any of our people."
Lin Yu disagreed, "We can’t let you two take the risk alone. If we go, we all go together."
Su Wan asked, "Can either of you cook? Or do either of you know how to blacksmith?"
Qiao was a medical student; his knife skills weren’t bad, so he should have no problem with the cutting tasks in cooking.
As for Lin Yu...
Lin Yu finally said, "I’ll apply to be a blacksmith."
Going together would be beneficial; they could look out for one another in case anything happened.
In the end, all four went to the interview, but three were rejected—only Su Wan was selected.
The man in charge was blatantly lecherous, his gaze sweeping over Su Wan’s beautiful face before he said, "You can cook; that’s good."
The three were somewhat worried.
Lin Yu was even more concerned, pulling Su Wan aside to whisper, "Don’t go, we’ll find another way in!"
Su Wan, "What if our other teammates can’t wait? Don’t worry about me; if it comes down to fighting alone, no one is my match. You guys stay outside, adapt as necessary, and if you meet other team members who have gotten in, join together."
"If there’s any trouble, I’ll come to the circus to find you."
After making arrangements, Su Wan turned and followed the others towards Central City.
The gate slowly closed behind her.
The cooks selected were three young and beautiful women who also knew how to cook.
Meiling was rejected because she couldn’t cook.
The three other blacksmiths were big and strong men, older in age, who had been led away by another manager.
That male manager led the three to a room.
He spoke with a smile, "There are three places that need people. The work is different in each, and the more comfortable the position, the higher the salary. Which place would you three like to go to? Oh, that’s right, apart from cooking, do you have any other special skills?"
His presumptuous gaze swept over the three women.
