Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Sonny’s Disappearance

They used ropes to tie the boxes and had those inside the building pull them up. In this way, all the supplies were quickly moved into the building.

Because of the ice that had been sticking to the floor and stars due to the lack of heating, the boxes got wet at the bottom and some began to tear.

This forced the team to work quickly and move all the boxes to the apartment shared by some of the people who escaped the laboratory.

It was the lowest occupied floor.

It was at this moment when everyone was taking their share of supplies and moving them to their own apartments that someone noticed one person was missing.

“Where’s Sonny?” Zaizai asked in shock when he turned to call his long-time companion and found him missing from the team.

Everyone was shocked when they heard Zaizai’s shout.

It was only at that moment that everyone realized that the glass-wearing gentleman was not in the team.

To make matters worse, no one knew when he had disappeared, which made it almost impossible for them to know where to start searching.

What was even worse was that it was getting dark and they couldn’t even go out at this time.

Everyone turned to Leng Pan and Lu Zhen for guidance on what to do but found that the two seemed completely unbothered by Sonny’s disappearance.

Seeing this, different people had a different reaction.

Some got angry because the leaders they trusted didn’t seem to care about their lives or death, while others who could be said to have brains like Juan Ke realized that Sonny’s disappearance may not have been a disappearance after all.

“Leader Leng, why aren’t you doing something about the missing teammate? Are we just going to leave him out there to freeze to death?” One of the ladies from the underground laboratory asked with some anger and helplessness in her voice.

The others, who shared her sentiments also turned to Leng Pan expectantly.

“And what would you have me do?” Leng Pan asked casually.

She didn’t show much concern in her voice or expression. Anyone who didn’t know her well would have thought she was completely heartless.

Apart from the people who came from the ancient earth, only Juan Ke and Janna who worshipped Leng Pan blindly didn’t question her leadership at that moment.

The others were already looking at her like she was a monster who wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice them if necessary.

However, Silk seemed to be skeptical and stopped Vortex who was about to step forward and question Leng Pan’s unconcerned behavior.

Vortex, who was stopped, didn’t understand why Silk wouldn’t let him stand up for Sonny.

Even though they hadn’t known each other for long, their training sessions had made them closer than brothers and itadenhim angry and hurt that his brother had gone missing and no one seemed to care, especially the leaders.

Silk just shook his head at Vortex and pointed to the people who had come to join them together with Sonny, which included Ouyang Jin, Momo, Zaizai, and the others.

Even Zaizai, who had raised the alarm about the missing Sonny, was no longer looking worried.

Anyone with a keen eye could tell that these people weren’t really worried. It was as if what was happening at that moment was normal.

In fact, Silk wasn’t wrong in thinking that. The only reason Zaizai had been so shocked that he raised the alarm about Sonny’s disappearance was because it had been a long time since it happened and they had almost forgotten about his spontaneous disappearances and appearances over time.

Now that he had come back to his senses, he realized that he was panicking for nothing and stopped worrying.

He continued to distribute supplies.

However, the way Leng Pan asked the question about what she was supposed to do still made people uncomfortable.

Anyone who didn’t know better would think she didn’t care about their lives and death.

But for Leng Pan, this was an opportunity to test whether these people were worth keeping around.

She didn’t mind the teammates questioning her about their missing companion because that showed that they cared about their teammates.

However, there was a line between questioning her in good faith and accusation.

If someone from the team threw accusations at her, that meant that they were not to be kept. That was because they didn’t trust her enough as a leader.

That was dangerous because it meant that such a person would start questioning her orders and instructions at critical moments, which could be fatal for them.

Such a person, no matter how strong they were, was not worth keeping.

“At least, let’s organize a search party for him. Even if we can’t go out tonight, we can leave tomorrow early in the morning.

The sooner we find him, the better, right?” The lady continued.

She seemed to have realized that her behavior of questioning Leng Pan so casually and aggressively was wrong, so she toned her voice and aggression down as well.

Leng Pan looked at that girl for a long time before replying.

No need. He will be back.”

Lu Zhen had just pretended not to notice when Leng Pan and Sonny were communicating with their eyes.

In fact, even in their last lives, he had long discovered that Sonny’s constant disappearances had something to do with the woman he loved, but since she wanted to keep it a secret, he pretended not to know.

Even now, he pretended not to know anything.

The others who came from the ancient earth also knew that there was no danger in Sonny disappearing as he always came back, but unlike Lu Zhen, they didn’t know why he disappeared or where he disappeared to.

Silk finally exhaled the breath he didn’t even know he was holding when he heard what Leng Pan said.

He had suspected that Sonny had not just disappeared as they assumed when he saw that Lu Zhen and the others didn’t seem worried.

That was why he had stopped Vortex from talking, now his suspicions had been confirmed.
