As the security personnel at the camp communicated with He Rui, Cole Mormon's voice came over another channel.

"This is Cole Mormon, camp and He Rui, please respond. Over."

"He Rui received, over."

"Camp received, over."

"He Rui, this is team leader Cole, don't wander around now, record your current coordinates, and then return to the camp by the same route. Over."

"This is He Rui, but... just retreat like this?"

Obviously, He Rui didn't quite understand Cole's request. After all, among these people, only Cole knew the situation of Devil's Gulch.

"Listen, He Rui, this is an order, retreat immediately."

"He Rui received, over."

He Rui finally carried out Cole's request.

At the same time, Cole summoned other groups who were out on missions, gathered the remaining sixteen people in the camp, and discussed countermeasures.

This was the first time that a team member had gone missing, completely unexpectedly, and Cole panicked all of a sudden. He had originally planned to do some more research on Devil's Gulch before considering going deeper, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.

He Rui claimed that they had not set foot in the "restricted area" designated by Cole. He explained that they were still some distance away from the restricted area designated by Cole at the time, and did not break into that restricted area without permission.

Moreover, He Rui and Han Dongsheng often acted together and had a good understanding of each other. Han Dongsheng would not abandon He Rui and disappear without a word.

The situation in the Himalayas is complicated, and many dangers are hidden under the white snow. It is understandable that people go missing in extreme weather, but it is a bit puzzling that four living people suddenly disappeared in broad daylight on a clear day.

Except for Cole, no one realized the seriousness of the matter.

Alive, they wanted to see the person; dead, they wanted to see the body. In the end, everyone reached a consensus and went out to find these sixteen people.

Cole foresaw the dangers ahead, and he insisted on taking a final group photo of the expedition team before leaving. Unexpectedly, this photo became the last fixed photo of the remaining sixteen members of the expedition team.

Because they did not know the existence of the "droplet," all twenty members of the Mormon expedition team (including the four missing Han Dongsheng and others) lost their lives under the "droplet" due to incorrect operations.

Twenty people is not accurate, to be exact, it is eighteen people.

The "droplet" devoured the other eighteen people, but did not devour Zhao Haiyang and Zhao Dalu.

The days on Earth passed day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year, time slowly passed away...

Zhao Haiyang and Zhao Dalu could not feel the passage of time at all. The two of them were like ascetics in the endless void.

They didn't know why, but they didn't feel hungry, or pain, or even a trace of sadness or even happiness. They felt that they were trapped in a place beyond their understanding, but they couldn't do anything about it.

They seemed to have entered sage time, endless sage time.

In sage time, time and space become blurred. In this wonderful time and space, the two brothers can explore and understand the essence of the universe, can travel through blind spots in thinking, find things ignored in daily research, and relive past memories.

However, sage time is also a mysterious and dangerous time and space.

In this time and space, the distortion of time and space gradually made the two of them lose their emotions and their perception of everything.

More than twenty years later, as Zhao Chenguang cracked the secret of the meteorite in the Himalayas, the "droplet" disappeared, and the two of them were finally freed from the endless void.
