Chapter 639 (2/2)

A melody soon placed from nearby and as Hao Ren turned towards the source, he saw a digital billboard that was attached to the wall. After the music ended, a video with scores of men and women appeared with the background sound going. “….Our strength is needed for a comfortable sanctuary. Lets us join hand in hands to create a peaceful home….”

Wuyue slithered towards the screen as she looked about. Hao Ren was not sure what she even pressed before the screen suddenly changed and a stiff-looking man appeared in the middle of the screen. “… Bringing you the latest news of the sanctuary. The investigation of the fire at Danding station has been completed. The sanctuary manager annouced that the incident was caused by an electrical short circuit in a grocery store’s warehouse…. The reactor maintenance team had completed their work and the planet’s thrust is stable. The President extends his thanks to the tireless workers. According the Presidential spokesperson, the planetary ark is closing in on a ‘resupply zone’, and before us is a very rich asteroid belt. The ark will perform its first deceleration since launch and after reaching level two navigation speed only will the resupply starts. The required time to decelerate until target speed will take about a year. We will be able to extract sufficient resources from the asteroid belt to feed the reactor. During deceleration the sanctuaraies may experience minor shakings. Please stay calm should that happen…”

It seemed like it was a news bulletin. Hao Ren immediately thought of something as soon as he heard the last part of the message and contacted the MDT which was standing by in orbit. “MDT, scan the planet’s flight path. Is there an asteroid belt before it?”

The MDT’s reply came swiftly. “There is an asteroid belt in front of it. Perhaps from other celestial bodies. It is a rather huge one. What about it?”

“…We are watching extraterrestial news broadcast.”

“Huh?” The MDT did not understand.

Hao Ren cut the communication and turned towards the rest. “There is an asteroid belt in the navigation path… This is not mere recordings.”

Vivian looked at the screen which was still playing the news. “…So that is to mean that the news are current. There’s really someone broadcasting this.”

Hao Ren looked at the empty concourse. “Yes, yet there are no one here.”

Nangong Sanba suddenly frowned as an bizzare expression appeared on his face. “Wait a minute! I’m feeling some aura…”

As he spoke, Nangong Wuyue rose up as well. She use her long serpentine tail to push herself about two to three meters in to the air as she gazed in a particular direction. “…Water element… it’s water…!”

Everyone looked at each other in shock, and realised what was going on!

Nangong Sanba kneeled down as he pressed the ground. Using his demon hunting ability to trace the movement of aura in the area. He suddenly looked up towards the deep part of the shopping complex. “Over there!”

The two siblings exchanged glances as shock and elation ran across their faces and the both ofd them dashed towards the source of the aura. Hao Ren and the rest were a step slower but caught up with the Nangong siblings. The group sprinted across the empty concourse as if fearing a step later would lose them their target. They finally came to a stop before a shop filled with groceries and slowed their breathing as they look out for any signs of activity.

The Nangong siblings did not dare to take a step further. They just looked slackly at the shop, and their breathing seemed to have stopped.

Behind a shelve, two figures was moving. A feminine arm flashed across the gap between the shelves as she took a few items.

The two figures seemed to also have sensed something as they stopped at the smae time before coming out from behind the shelf.

Nangong Wuyue held her brother’s hand tightly as she looked she might faint any time soon. Her voice shivering. “Mom.. Dad?”

They found them at last.
