If it's a deep-seated hatred, then Lappland is most likely dead. If it's a matter of seeking fortune through danger, then she's probably imprisoned or detained. Just like you said, she won't give in so easily.

In short, I will use my Psychic Scan the entire space of the two Mobile Cities. Then I will search these areas for all the people who have been kidnapped. If there is a seriously injured or unconscious Female Lupo, I will have to go down and confirm it myself. This search is purely a last resort.

"Okay, then you go ahead with your work, I'll warm you up."

Texas took a sip and offered to act as his human power bank. Shi Lei had long surpassed human limits and didn't need these things, but he didn't stop her.

He first spent more than two hours thoroughly searching all the spaces in Volcini and New Volcini.

They then flew over White City and once again used their Psychic Power to conduct a lengthy scan of the entire city.

Unfortunately, there was no suitable target.

With a grave expression, Shi Lei flew away from White City and arrived above Seven Hills City to conduct a full scan of the city. If he couldn't find it here or in the wasteland, then there would truly be no way to find it.

Just as the clock struck five, Shi Lei suddenly opened his eyes in Texas's arms:

"Found it!"

Chapter 560: First Courtesy, Then Force (4K)

Upon hearing from Shi Lei that they had found it, Texas, her face pressed against his back, tilted up and asked proactively:

Is it Lappland?

"I'm not sure. My ability scan only gives me a rough outline, like a thermal image. I've determined that the target meets two criteria: being held captive and having female characteristics."

Whether it's truly Lappland or not, we'll have to go down and confirm. Wait until I finish scanning Seven Hills City, so we don't go down too early and alert them."

Although Syracuse is known for its simple and honest people, cases of kidnapping and imprisonment are common. However, most of those imprisoned are adult men. Women and children are treated differently, and imprisoning them is not cost-effective.

Including Seven Hills City, Shi Lei scanned all four Mobile Cities. Finally, he found a target that met his criteria and, suppressing his excitement, continued scanning.

Texas, seeing that he had his eyes closed, hugged him from behind and began to explain the origins of Seven Hills City.

As the name suggests, Seven Hills refers to Seven Hills. Originally, Seven Hills consisted of Seven Different Tribes. They were considered as a whole before being allocated a Mobile Cities.

The tribes here revere nature and rarely use technological products. Therefore, it is understandable that the Madam Sicily did not obtain the surveillance footage.

"Honey, before we go down, tell me the location of the target so I can negotiate with them."

"Hehe, no need for that."

Shi Lei pointed to his head and explained:

"The Madam Sicily's investigation involved a thorough, door-to-door search. I don't need to go through that trouble; I can scan the underground space directly. If they really have captured Lappland, what do you think they'll do when they see us at their door?"

Texas understood immediately, grasping the point instantly:

"They'll move immediately, taking Lappland to another place to hide. And if they wanted to kill her, they would have done it long ago; there's no reason for them to leave her alive until now."

Shi Lei smiled slightly and continued the conversation:

"That's right, we don't even need to go in. We just need to show up and reveal our identities. If they have a guilty conscience, they'll naturally move Lappland. We can stay in the sky and reappear when they're transporting her away..."

Texas smiled knowingly upon hearing this.

"Brilliant!"

Madam Sicily and the Twelve Families had searched for so long without finding Lappland's whereabouts. Yet her own husband had made progress in just one afternoon.

This ability to scan terrain is even more impressive than sonic weapons and radar. If applied to assassinations, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, making them virtually invincible.

"Honey."

Texas reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck, her eyes practically drooling. Her man was so amazing, which filled her with pride and satisfaction. Plus, they were so close, and she found herself getting wet without even realizing it.

"What's wrong?"

Fortunately, Texas knows what's important and won't suggest going to the Happy Pot at a time like this. Those entertainment options can wait until they find Lappland.

"Nothing, I just suddenly wanted to call your name. You can continue scanning, I won't say anything."

"Um."

Twenty minutes later, Shi Lei finished scanning Seven Hills City. There were as many as thirty people imprisoned in the Underground Space, only one of whom was a woman.

"Scan complete, just this one."

He controlled the Rock platform to descend rapidly, landing safely outside the large iron gate of a certain tribe. Texas took the initiative to communicate, pulling on the iron ring to knock on the door.

"Knock knock knock."

Who is it?

Upon hearing the noise, the guard peered cautiously through the crack in the door, not getting too close.

"I am Chelinina Texas, the Lone Wolf of Texas family. I have come today for the White Wolf of Saluzzo family, and I request an audience with your Chieftain."

The guard didn't open the door for her; instead, he retreated further inside while responding to her.

"Please wait a moment, I'll inform the Chieftain!"

Shi Lei didn't force his way in; instead, he used his Psychic Power to follow the guard behind the door. He followed him into the tribe's interior and finally arrived at a place where people were gathered.

Although he couldn't hear the sounds inside, he could scan for someone approaching a target that met the criteria.

"Would you like to wait inside, or come with me to wait in the sky?"

Texas smiled, took his arm, blinked, and said nothing; the answer was self-evident.

Shi Lei carried her into the air quickly, hovering two thousand meters above the ground while keeping an eye on the ground.

Under the scan of Psychic Power, all the tribe's tricks were exposed. They not only moved the female Lupo, but also moved other men to create illusions.

Shi Lei watched quietly from above, occasionally offering his comments on their performance. Targets who met the criteria were escorted from the Underground Space to the back door, ready to board the land vehicles here to be transferred to other locations.

Upon seeing that iconic white hair, Shi Lei descended from the sky with Texas. Like two heroes arriving, they stomped heavily on the earth.

When Lappland saw the two of them arrive, she let out a weak, mocking laugh:

"Hehe, you're all finished, hahahaha."

Lupo, who was in charge of escorting the shipment, was about to kill her with a single blow, but no one could kill the target that Shi Lei was protecting.

The blade could barely penetrate the Jade Shield, not even causing a slight scratch.

"Texas, these men are yours."

Shi Lei went forward to check on Lappland's injuries; as long as he had a breath left, he could be saved.

Her hands and feet were Shackles, and there were two Steel Nails piercing her collarbone, which greatly restricted her movement.

Seeing Shi Lei come to her rescue, Lappland was deeply moved, but she wouldn't mince words:

"I've been missing for months! Why did it take you two so long to come? If you'd been any later, I would have died!"

Texas, as if deliberately trying to annoy her, gave an absurd answer:

"My sweetheart and I went on our honeymoon."

"Darling? You guys..."

Shi Lei was preparing to provide treatment when he saw Lappland swaying and frowned, saying:

"Don't move!"

The next second, a fist the size of a sandbag slammed into his face.

Lappland's face paled in horror, and she instinctively stepped back to avoid it. But the movement pulled on the two Steel Nails piercing her collarbone, causing her to wince in pain.

"Ooh... hiss..."

Soon, Lappland found that her physical condition was improving. After taking two more punches from Shi Lei, her back was no longer sore, and her legs no longer hurt. It was truly amazing!

In fact, when Shi Lei first transmigrated, he already possessed the life-sustaining ability to break through the Jade Shield and restore his health.

However, he rarely used it, which led Lappland to forget that Shi Lei had this ability for so long.

Shi Lei didn't remove the Steel Nails first; instead, he focused on restoring Lappland's health. Once Lappland's condition improved, he quickly pulled out the Steel Nails that were restricting her movement.

"Ahhh..."

The moment it was pulled out, there was not only a sharp pain as if it had pierced through the shoulder bone, but also a strange sense of satisfaction. Lappland stretched her neck, grinning to reveal two Fangs:

"Zhongli, I rarely ask for favors. Today, I beg you to cast the Jade Shield on me and not cancel it. They've tortured me in the Water Prison for so long; today, I'll show them what it means to retaliate in kind!"

Shi Lei understood the other person's feelings; as for why she was captured, he could find out later. At this moment, Lappland harbored a burning anger that desperately needed to be released.

"Good."

Upon hearing this, Lappland smiled.

Like a wild beast escaping its cage, she fought the guards with her bare hands. She quickly seized their weapon, gripped it tightly, and stabbed it back into the enemy's hand!

Killing just one person won't quell the fire in my heart.

Lappland kicked open the back door and joined Texas in retaliating against the tribe members there. As they passed each other, it was as if they had returned to the days when they stood side by side many years ago.

Kill!

Although there were only two of them, they were like one man against ten thousand. Ignoring enemy attacks and arrows shot from who-knows-where, they only needed to focus on killing.

Attack, keep attacking.

Lappland's pent-up rage finally erupted, and she chased after more than thirty people, hacking and slashing. If her blade became dull, she would pick up the weapon on the ground and continue her pursuit.

Kill!

Texas was ultimately spoiled; after playing for more than ten minutes, she felt tired and retreated to her lover's side.

Of Shi Lei's three girlfriends, she always had the worst physical strength. Even with deliberate training, she still couldn't compare to the energetic Mudrock and Xi.

Shi Lei didn't lift a finger; the grudge they incurred by imprisoning Lappland was left for her to avenge herself.

Within twenty minutes, Lappland had stormed from the back door all the way to the courtyard and then to the main hall. She was panting heavily as she slowly returned to Shi Lei's side. Then, in a very irritating way, she turned her face to him and offered her face:

"Come on, hit me two more times."

"Haven't you killed enough yet?"

Lappland shook her head, clearly feeling it wasn't enough:

"They arrested me, wanting to force me to reveal how I recovered from Originium-related illness. I've held out for so long without giving you away, how about that, isn't that enough?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Lei's expression turned somewhat grave. He had assumed that she had been captured because of the Wolf Soul ability taught to her by Zaro.

Unexpectedly, Lappland suffered this Unforeseen Disaster because of her own abilities:

"Do you need my help?"

"No need, I'll handle these people. If you want to help, give me a couple of punches, come on!"

Shi Lei had no reason to refuse, and two powerful punches helped her recover.

Energetic Lappland once again drew her sword and confronted the tribe Chieftain's hastily assembled troops.

She moved like a tiger among sheep, cutting through the crowd seven times, with no one able to stop her.

Seeing that the tribe's warriors were only at this level, Shi Lei asked with some doubt:

"They don't seem like much to me, how did you get caught by them?"

Lappland gets angry whenever this is mentioned:

"How could I possibly be defeated by them? Are you kidding me? It was the Wolf Lord who launched a sneak attack and used a war of attrition to wear me down before I was finally captured."

When Shi Lei mentioned the Wolf Lord, the first thing that came to mind was a guy who was extremely concerned about saving face in front of humans:

"The Wolf Lord? Zaro?"

"No, it was another Wolf Lord. I killed the Fangs it had trained, so it used a war of attrition to wear me down. In the end, it even launched a sneak attack. How shameless!"

If Shi Lei remembered correctly, the Wolf Lord of Syracuse had an agreement that they could not attack humans. This was something the Emperor told him personally after returning to Lungmen.

It is said that the Wolf Lord would use Syracuse as a chessboard to hone their Fangs and compete. However, according to Lappland's description, some Wolf Lord have already shed their disguise.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this for you. Are you calm now? If not, continue. If you are, I'll take you to see Madam Sicily."

Lappland looked puzzled, quite perplexed by this arrangement, and asked in return:

"Madam Sicily manages the Grey Hall, but she can't control these Wolf Lords. What's the use of seeking her out?"
