Little Four's forehead was hurt from the flick. He became more afraid and sobbed. "Boss, just now, I almost became unable to see you again."

Little Four's words dumbfounded Ling Lan. She waited for Little Four's explanation, but he only held onto her thigh and didn't say any more.

Sensing Little Four's fear, Ling Lan softly caressed his hair and said, "Little Four, you have to remember that if you suddenly vanish one day, I will definitely find you. Definitely!"

Ling Lan's serious tone pacified Little Four's fearful heart. Little Four's emotions slowly calmed down. He nodded and answered softly, "Okay, I believe you Boss!"

After she caressed Little Four's head for a little longer and felt that his emotions were returning to normal, Ling Lan instantly pushed him away and left her mindspace in a flash. She rejoiced that all of this had happened in her mindspace. No matter how many things happened in her mindspace, only one or two minutes would have passed in the outside world.

Little Four instantly felt hurt after seeing the empty mindspace. Wah wah wah, this little brother was definitely brought up by the step-mom, otherwise Boss wouldn't have tossed him aside so heartlessly.

After leaving the mindspace, Ling Lan immediately told everyone what she had discovered. "Logically, the always sunny Yang side of the sea rarely sees rainfall, so its humidity should be lower than the Yin side of the sea. However, as luck would have it, the humidity is higher than the humidity of the location where we had dropped from…"

Those who could participate in the mecha tournament were all talented and intelligent people. They knew that the humidity of rainy places was definitely higher than that of sunny areas. Qiao Ting nodded and said, "Regarding this point, it indeed doesn't make sense."

"Is it possible that before we dropped down, a thunderstorm had just occurred in this area?" Someone brought up a very plausible situation that could have happened.

Everyone looked at Ling Lan in unplanned unison, waiting for her answer.

"Yes, of course, there is that possibility. In order to see if that is true or not, I have decided to wait for half an hour," Ling Lan spoke out her decision. "Looking at the current intensity of the sun, the humidity may decrease in half an hour. This way, just like what that team member said earlier, it would be very possible that a thunderstorm had passed before we arrived and the humidity in the air had not dissipated completely. However, if the humidity remains the same and doesn't decrease, then this sea…"

"This sea could be a trap." Qiao Ting understood the meaning behind Ling Lan's words and immediately said, "I agree to wait!"

"I also agree!"

"Agreed!"

…

All the team leaders had agreed to wait for half an hour. According to the map, if everything went according to plan, the Yang side of the sea was half an hour away from their headquarters' location. That was why they had 30 minutes to waste.

Just like that, all the members of the First Men's Military Academy silently waited and 30 minutes quickly passed by. Many people were monitoring the humidity levels and they found that the humidity in the air did not decrease during this time, but slowly increased instead.

Qiao Ting saw this situation as well. He raised his head and looked at the blazing sun that was almost above his head. His said worriedly, "What is happening? Why did a situation like this occur?"

Ling Lan didn't answer, but instead, she asked him, "Captain Qiao, I'm not sure if you've heard of The mirage city under the sea?"

Ling Lan's words stunned everyone present. The Mirage City Under the Sea, or Mirage City for short, was a natural phenomenon that resulted from the refraction of light beams, a mirage created from the light from objects of the ancient Earth refracting light through the atmosphere.
