Chapter 2832 Last Resort
Indeed, the chance of stopping the catastrophe was almost zero. Levi and Black Hawk were simply going for the last bet.
They had no high hope of success but were willing to give their all till the end.
Meanwhile, Zoey was frantically searching for Forlevia.
The Ancient Clan left no traces of themselves after they abducted Forlevia, so she was at a loss on where she should start searching.
She did not know who took Forlevia, so the only thing that came to her mind was to contact Levi.
However, Levi had already left to save the world and she had no means to get in touch with him. All the leaders were also busy with the evacuation and no one had time to spare for her.
When Dr. Erebus got to know of the matter, he immediately contacted Zoey.
“I think I have a good guess on who has abducted Mr. Garrison’s daughter!” he said.
Zoey almost collapse from shock upon hearing that.
“You do? You know where she is? Tell me! Quick!” she begged.
“According to my knowledge, there is a research group overseas known as the Ancient Clan. They are knowledgeable and have a keen interest in cultivators and the ancient art of cultivation. Even I, a commoner, was on their list of potential research subjects. I think they must be the ones who took your daughter,” he said.
“When I left Zarain with Mr. Garrison, they discovered us, and most likely, they were also the ones who exposed Mr. Garrison. The sneak attack on Mr. Garrison and Pengornis looks to be their mischief as well!” he added.
“I wasn’t too certain they were the ones until I heard Mr. Garrison’s daughter was abducted. That confirmed my suspicion. During the previous battle, your daughter displayed the brilliant legendary skills of the Ecclesiastic Order. That is a subject that they are keenly interested in, so I believed that is the reason for your daughter’s abduction.” Dr. Erebus’ analysis was logical and spot on.
He had his suspicion but had no proof. Forlevia’s abduction confirmed that he was right.
That Ancient Clan discovered them, came to Erudia, and split into two teams to track down Forlevia and Levi.
Dr. Erebus looked at Zoey and assured her, “Mrs. Garrison, please do not worry. Your daughter is not in grave danger. They are interested in doing research on her and will not hurt her.”
“Would you be able to find them?” Zoey asked anxiously.
“I am not too sure, but I will definitely give it a go. Unfortunately, we don’t have much time left,” Dr. Erebus said.
The maximum he had was ten hours before the disaster reached their shore. He predicted it would take a lot of time and effort to track the Ancient Clan. Regardless, he promised, “I will give it my best shot! That is the only thing I can do to repay Mr. Garrison.”
“Since Mr. Garrison is in the midst of facing the crisis, we had better not distract him with this news,” he added.
Along with Zoey and her company, he set off to find the Ancient Clan. To him, the mission at hand was just as tense and urgent as Levi was with the interception.
Back with Levi, he and Black Hawk proceeded with their chase via the new tunnels they created. They had not given up on their attempt to save the world.
“We managed to make up for a bit of the lost time. However, you only have an advantage of about one to two minutes. That is not going to be helpful,” Digital God solemnly announced his latest assessment.
“Black Hawk is not doing any better than us. I think… I think we have lost all hope.”
It was disappointing that both parties had failed, despite putting in their best efforts.
As the minutes ticked away, the two aircraft were getting closer to the super-spiritual ley line. That meant their hope of stopping them was also diminishing by the minute.
Half an hour went by, then an hour.
Soon, the two aircraft were only twenty minutes away from their target, and both Levi and Black Hawk were still giving chase.
Everyone’s heart sank as they realized their efforts were futile.
“No, we can’t go on like this. We have to think of another solution!” Levi mumbled, his brows deeply knotted as he racked his brain for an alternative solution.
“What else can we do? I’m at my wits’ end here and have long since run out of ideas. Our jets are also traveling at their maximum speed, so there is nothing more we can do!” Digital God cried out loud.
“Since the jet can’t keep up, I will be the one to speed us up! I just hope the jet can withstand that force!” Levi jumped to his feet and was raring to go.
He leaped out of the fighter jet and gave it a mighty push.
Whoosh!
Pengornis shot forward at a high velocity and went beyond what it was capable of flying by itself.
