Chapter 225 One less person
"When will the heavy rain stop?"

"I don't know. The rainstorm should come and go quickly, right? It won't last long."

"I thought I would be able to return to the imperial capital today, so it seems that there will be another day of delay."

"..."

Everyone chatted with each other, watching the storm outside, and the surrounding trees were almost bent.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd:
"Have any of you... seen Xiao Qiao?"

After the words fell, everyone searched the crowd subconsciously, but they didn't see the little Qiao he was talking about.

Xiao Qiao is a staff member of the program group and is in charge of field affairs. She has just graduated from university for two years, and she is the youngest girl in the entire program group except for Jian Xiao.

"I saw her before the rainstorm." One of the staff members said, "I heard from her at that time that she wanted to go to the back mountain to take some pictures."

After everyone heard this, a bad premonition flashed in their hearts.

I don't know how far Xiao Qiao walked to the back mountain. If it is too far from the camp, it is probably trapped by the heavy rain.

"What's Xiao Qiao's phone number?" Jian Xiao asked, taking out her phone by the way.

It's dangerous to make a phone call in this kind of thunderstorm weather, but now that there are fewer people, I don't care about so much.

"Let me call." The staff member said, and then dialed Xiao Qiao's number.

Fortunately, the call was quickly connected:
"Hey, Brother Li!"

Xiao Qiao's voice came, with a little surprise and a little panic.

"Little Joe, where are you?"

"I... I was in a cave in the back mountain. It rained heavily suddenly. I didn't bring an umbrella and I couldn't see the way. I can't come back now." Xiao Qiao said.

"Then don't run around, just stay in the cave and come out after the rain stops." Brother Li said.

"Okay, Brother Li, don't worry, I didn't..."

Before Xiao Qiao finished speaking, she heard a booming sound from the other end of the phone, as if something had collapsed and fallen.

"what--"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qiao panicked:
"Help, Brother Li! It's collapsed! The cave has collapsed!"

"I……"

With a click, the phone was hung up.

When Brother Li called again, no one answered.

For a moment, everyone's hearts were tightly clenched.

Heavy rain is inherently dangerous, coupled with the collapse of the cave, the possibility of Xiao Qiao encountering an accident is very high.

"Director Ling, what should we do?" Everyone turned their attention to Ling Moyao.

He is the chief director of the show and the person with the most right to speak in the whole team, everyone listens to him.

Seeing this, Ling Moyao thought for a moment and said:
"Well, I'll take a few people to the back mountain to look for Xiao Qiao. If we can find her, it would be great to rescue her in advance."

"But the rain is too heavy. I don't guarantee when we will find it. You have to call the outside world for help. We have to prepare for the worst."

"Heavy rains in mountainous areas are most prone to mudslides."

Upon hearing the word mudslide, everyone is inevitably a little scared. After all, natural disasters are always merciless.

"Director Ling, I'll go with you." Brother Li volunteered.

"Okay." Ling Moyao nodded, looked at Jian Xiao again, and said, "Miss Jian, I know you are very skilled, and you are good at surviving in the wild, and you are very good at finding your way. I wonder if you can come with me too?"

Jian Xiao was about to nod, but found that above Ling Moyao's head, the malicious value towards her that had been maintained at "70" suddenly increased to "90".

Earlier, Jian Xiao had drawn a special card called emotional perception, which allowed her to see the kindness and malice of others towards her.

Because of Ye Xiner's relationship, Ling Moyao's maliciousness towards her has never been low, but it has remained at a fixed value.

But today, the moment he asked her to go out to rescue together, the malicious value suddenly increased.

[This shows that his malice towards you has increased, and he wants to harm you. 】

The system explains.

Jian Xiao suddenly understood: Ling Moyao asked her to go out to rescue together, not necessarily because he really wanted to save people, but because he wanted to take advantage of this natural disaster and attack her.

Seeing that Jian Xiao didn't speak, Ling Moyao smiled apologetically:
"Sorry, Miss Jane, I don't mean to kidnap morally. If you don't want to go out, I won't force you."

"I just think you are very powerful, so I ask you for help."

In a word, how dare you say that it's not a moral kidnapping if you label her as a desperate person?
Jian Xiao also smiled:
"I didn't say no, why is Director Ling so anxious?"

"I was just thinking about what we should bring. We can't take nothing when we go out for rescue, right?"
