1635 Only Seven Days

Finding these staff members made Chu Nan feel energetic. This proved that his tracking direction was at least correct and he had already found a very important witness.

The next goal was much clearer. Chu Nan continued to search through the rooms one by one and finally found the target he wanted to find in one of them.

This room seemed to be less crowded than the other rooms, but it was still filled with nearly 20 people. However, there was someone in the middle of the room who clearly occupied a slightly larger position than the others, indicating that his status was slightly different from others.

Chu Nan recognized him at a glance. This middle-aged man was called Saúdo and held an important position in the guard team under the Noctem Chamber of Commerce. He was the commander-in-chief of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce who had escorted three enterprise-level battleships to the Earth Federation.

Through Elkart, Chu Nan had contacted him many times and the two sides were relatively familiar with each other.

Seeing him, Chu Nan was relieved.

He was still alive and well, proving that the other party was not too interested in these staff members. At the very least, he did not pull Saúdo out alone to do anything.

After sensing the surrounding energy fluctuations for a while, with a thought, Chu Nan accurately controlled a weak spatial energy fluctuation to an extremely small area and guided it into Saúdo’s ears, forming a certain microwave vibration that produced a sound in his ears.

“Hey, Saúdo, wake up.”

Clearly, Saúdo was not sleeping soundly. As soon as the voice sounded in his ears, his body shook slightly and his eyelids moved.

“Don’t move, I’m Chu Nan. Continue to pretend to be asleep and listen to me.” Chu Nan immediately sent a voice transmission.

As the elite of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce and the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Saúdo was naturally extremely well-educated. As expected, he immediately suppressed the abnormal movements in his body.

“I’m asking you a question. If you answer yes, move your finger. If not, move twice. Do you understand?”

Saúdo moved his body, looking like a natural roll in his sleep. However, he took the opportunity to pull his right arm to his side and carefully hide it. Then, his right index finger moved.

“Very good. Let me ask you, did you encounter an attack in the Eka R27 Star Field?”

Saúdo moved his finger.

“Are there many Star-Grade Martial Artists attacking you?”

Saúdo moved his finger again.

“Did you unintentionally produce a teleportation door in the battle with those Star-Grade Martial Artists?”

He snapped his fingers.

“You were controlled and brought here by them?”

Saúdo hesitated for a moment as if he had something to say, but in the end, he still moved his finger.

“Ignore the details for now. Tell me, is the entire fleet locked up here?”

Two fingers.

Chu Nan was a little surprised, “Those guys took away some other people? Who did they take away?”

He casually reacted that Saúdo could not answer this question in his state. He hurriedly asked, “Which part of the fleet is it? The combat department?”

Two fingers.

“Commander’s Office?”

Two fingers.

“Could it be the logistics department?”

It was still two fingers.

Chu Nan frowned slightly and thought for a moment before suddenly realizing.

“Could it be the research team that came with you?”

He snapped his fingers.

“It seems that these guys came prepared… Saúdo, do you know where those three enterprise-level battleships are now?”

He snapped his fingers.

“You actually know?” Chu Nan was stunned. He thought for a moment and asked, “Were they taken away by those guys?”

Two fingers.

“Where did he go…”

Saúdo was silent for a moment before suddenly bending his finger cleverly and pointing up.

“Up there?” Chu Nan raised his head in confusion and saw the endless night sky above the temple. He thought for a moment and understood, “You mean that they parked those three enterprise-level battleships in space?”

He snapped his fingers.

Chu Nan was even more surprised.

Those guys had spent so much effort to ambush those three enterprise-level battleships, but in the end, they had only taken away the researchers accompanying the fleet, They had left Saúdo, the members of the fleet, and the three most valuable enterprise-level battleships behind. Why?

Next, he asked Saúdo, but it was obvious that Saúdo, who was imprisoned, would not have much information. The information he gave was not rich at all.

“Then let’s do this for now. I’ll tell Elkart the situation here and let your Chamber of Commerce think of a way to save you. Before that, try your best to protect yourself.”

Saúdo’s finger moved a few times in a row before he finally drew a symbol on the ground.

Chu Nan focused his gaze and discovered that this symbol represented a number.

“Seven?” Chu Nan frowned and did not understand, “Seven what? Seven days?”

Saúdo moved his finger.

“What does seven days mean?” Chu Nan was even more puzzled, “Does it mean that you only have seven days left?”

He snapped his fingers.

“Huh? No way?” Chu Nan was shocked, “Could it be that these guys are going to kill all of you in seven days? Are they so bold?”

Saúdo quickly moved his fingers twice.

“Oh, does that mean that I have to transfer you away in seven days, or do those enemies want to take you away again?”

He snapped his fingers.

“Alright, I understand. I’ll tell Elkart as soon as possible. Seven days should be enough for your Chamber of Commerce to react. Before that, try your best to cooperate with them to protect your lives.”

Saúdo moved his finger and flipped around, putting on a relaxed appearance.

“I’ll leave first. I hope I can meet you in a safe environment next time.”

After Chu Nan said this, just as he was about to move, he suddenly heard an ear-piercing alarm in the center of the temple. Then, he immediately sensed an extremely intense energy fluctuation surging from all directions.

“Oh no!”

Chu Nan immediately reacted. This should be because the middle-aged priest he had knocked out had been discovered, or because he had woken up and punished the alarm in the temple.

“Sigh, if I was ruthless enough and directly killed him, it might be simpler.”

Chu Nan sighed in his mind and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He quickly sneaked out of the northwest corner of the temple.

With the concealment effect brought about by the Hidden Dragon Reconnaissance Technique and his super precise control of energy fluctuations, he quickly escaped the Temple of Dedale without alerting anyone.

After successfully escaping, Chu Nan did not hesitate. He flew into space and flew towards the unstable teleportation door slightly higher in the synchronous orbit.

Saúdo expressed that they only had seven days, so if he wanted to save them before they were transferred away, he had to inform Elkart as soon as possible. This way, the Noctem Chamber of Commerce would have hope of implementing rescue measures on them in time. Otherwise, if they were transferred away again, it would be very difficult to find them and the three enterprise-level battleships.

Chu Nan entered the teleportation door as expected. In about five minutes, he passed through the teleportation door and returned to the second planet in the nameless star system in the Dark Star Field.

The canyon was still dark. The power of the teleportation door had already weakened compared to when Chu Nan passed through it earlier. This made him not dare to be negligent and he flew up, preparing to return to Elkart’s side as soon as possible to inform him of these situations.

Just as he flew to the crack in the great canyon and was about to return through the spatial jump because he had already left the influence of the teleportation door, an incomparably surging and shocking energy fluctuation suddenly surged from all directions. What followed was a terrifying domain that completely sealed the entire space, causing people to instantly feel that they could not resist.
