Chapter 6: Not a trace left

"Wa Wa, Wa Wa, Wa Wa!" The shockingly loud sound of the baby crying spreads throughout the whole plane.

That is really loud! Even the sound-proofing device is not entirely effective.

At the start, Lan Xiao saved one-third of the eggshells, but the baby wouldn't stop crying, Nan Cheng was especially reluctant. So she gave him a little more to eat. After that, he stopped crying.

When there's one-fifth of it left, the baby started crying again. The sound was loud and clear, at the level of a male soprano singer.

One-sixth, one-seventh, one-eighth,..., finally one-tenth of it!

In the end, one-tenth of the eggshells were preserved, this is the bottom line. Lan Xiao can't make the decision by himself anymore, he needs to take responsibility for the whole team. So, he can only harden his heart, let the baby cry and not let him eat it anymore.

Nan Cheng could also understand his decision, they are both researchers after all. Although she would often use her puppy like eyes to look at Lan Xiao, she did not mention allowing the baby to continue eating.

They all thought that originally when the baby was tired, he would stop crying. But who knew, he really is strangely talented! Seeing him cry so tiringly, the penetrating cry continued for three days and three nights without stopping.

Three days time, the reconnaissance plane has completed its scan of the Extreme Northern Land, but the research team was completely exhausted. Not one could rest well with the baby crying, meditation or sleep, don't even think about it.

There's a specially made lounge in the plane, but not even the metallic walls of it were able to block off the cries, so, when the plane was on it trip back and in the autopiloting mode, everyone was extremely tired.

Nan Cheng's mind was completely of the crying baby, she takes care of him every day, but he doesn't drink water, doesn't eat anything, his cries just can't be stopped. Making her tired both physically and mentally.

"Put him back in the protective barrier and quickly go catch some sleep, the sound-proofing of it is slightly effective." Lan Xiao looks at the pale Nan Cheng pitifully.

"Ok." Nan Cheng couldn't take it anymore.

There's still a degree of effectiveness of the soundproofing barrier, the crying was less loud, everyone feels a sense of relief. Other than the pilots who need to be awake to prevent any accidents during the flight, in a few minutes, everyone else was asleep.

The past few days were so tiring, added that the main work was all done, everyone was more relaxed, natural, including Lan Xiao, everyone was deeply asleep.

"Wa Wa Wa..." The baby's cry continues, his pair of large beautiful eyes was filled with indignity.

The one-tenth of the eggshell was left similarly left on the test bench, in another barrier, sealing out the air, preserved under low-temperature conditions, preventing the quality of it from changing. When they reach the Ancient Spirit Beasts Research Centre, they would then use large types of equipment to do a lab test.

Meditating amidst the cries is proving to be a challenge, with the risk of becoming mad, so Lan Xiao, Nan Cheng and the rest of them chose to sleep, deep in their sleep, the plane gradually quietens down, only the cries, continues to loom.

The pilots continue piloting the plane, the cruising system is working normally. After leaving the Extreme Northern Land, the plane continues cruising at tens of thousands of metres above, according to the speed, they would need roughly seven, eight hours to reach the airport. Their research trip is going to end soon.

The pilot sneezed, he was constantly disturbed by the cries, exhausted by it. Once again, he checked the cruising system and defensive system, after confirming it was without errors, he shuts his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Now, the Soul-Guidance Reconnaissance Plane are all very advanced, the alarm will ring the moment a malfunction occurred in the cruising system. Not to mention, there wouldn't be any problems occurring under normal conditions.

The breathing within the plane became smoother, of course, other than the crying baby. The gold and silver pattern shines on the eggshell, at the time no one was able to detect that accompanying the baby's cry, the leftover shining eggshell started to have some slight changes.

When the bay was crying the loudest and clearest, the gold and silver patterns shines bright, and when the crying was the softest, the brightness of the shining patterns becomes softer accordingly.

Gradually, the eggshell resonates with the baby's cry, becoming more transparent, on the surface of the transparent egg, small cracks appeared. in the beginning, it was thin but continues to develop.

"Ding" the sound ringed as the eggshell cracks, not into pieces but a cloud of powder, a cloud of light.

The gold and silver cloud of light easily penetrates its own barrier, it again penetrates the baby's barrier, as it enters the baby's mouth and nose, he finally stopped crying.

The whole plane was finally quiet again. After the cloud of light enters the baby, he gradually fell into sleep.

Don't know how long time has passed...

"Weng, Weng, Weng!" The low sound rang throughout the whole plane, everyone gradually wakes up from their sleep.

"Wu, that was a comfortable sleep! Is that the warning that the plane was descending? Are we reaching soon?" Nan Cheng semi-consciously opened her eyes and was shocked to discover the warning signal at the front of the plane.

The pilot was already awake before them, he smiled and said: "Yes, we are reaching soon. In the middle of a descent."

Nan Cheng felt that there was something different, consciously, she went to the test bench not far from her.

The small little baby was curled up, the powdery white skin glowed gently, he's so tiny, but looked so lonely.

Nan Cheng unconsciously thought, where are his parents? They must miss him very much.

"Yi!" She noticed what was different, why is he no longer crying?

Nan Cheng immediately stood up, went to his side. His small chest was rising and falling steadily, his small face also has some movements, and was even smiling.

Is he finally asleep? Nan Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wu, are we reaching soon?" Lan Xiao stretched his waist and stood up.

"Lan Xiao, quickly, look, he's not crying anymore. He looks so cute when he's not crying!" Lan Xiao happily said.

"Not crying anymore? Right. Or we wouldn't have been able to sleep for such a long time." Lan Xiao said grinningly while speaking, he turned his head and looked at the other side, then he stood there shocked.

"The eggshell? Where's the eggshell?" He suddenly turned, eyes on Nan Cheng.

"Ah?" Nan Cheng dazed, she also looked over where the eggshell was stored, that's right, it's completely empty. There's not a trace of it left, completely disappeared.

"It's not me, I didn't do it!" Nan Cheng hurriedly explained.

That moment, the others were also awaked and found the eggshell missing, hurriedly gathered around.

Nan Cheng waved his hands up, "Don't worry. If you say you didn't do it, you definitely didn't. There would be records of the barrier being opened. Let us check it first, see if it's been opened before."

Only then did Nan Cheng felt more at ease, that's right! When opening the barrier, it would leave a record, even the password used to open it was different for everyone. But she felt more satisfied at Lan Xiao choosing to believe what she said immediately, unconsciously easing up more. But, where's the eggshell?

They quickly found their answers within the surveillance system.

Everyone looked at one another, till their gaze concentrates on Lan Xiao, he smiled bitterly, "Don't look at me, I also have no idea what to do. This is really a dead end, there's no evidence, there's not a trace left."
