Huang Yi walked over and asked, "Can you use your abilities to search the area? Lisa from Group Six has gone missing. I've already sent out Drones to search, but it's too dark at night, with too many blind spots in the lighting. We might have missed something."
Gene shook his head. "I can see the special aura emitted by Contaminants, but there are too many Locusts here. Even though we killed quite a few today, their aura won't dissipate that quickly. The residual aura left by the Locusts will interfere with my judgment."
Huang Yi looked at Feng Ling.
Feng Ling helplessly shrugged. "I don't have any leads either. I can see Hunters and Contaminants within ten kilometers, but I haven't seen a single Hunter who's alone. In this situation, either she's already dead, or she's underground, because I can't search underground."
"Underground..." Huang Yi frowned and looked toward the valley. "There should be Mine Caves in the mining area, but during today's operation, everyone only hunted Locusts around the outer perimeter of the valley."
Feng Ling nodded. "Right. You had me guard the valley entrance. Other than the Grulu Hunters who originally lived in the valley, no one from our Rescue Team went near it."

Leland and Gene's expressions both changed slightly.
If she had died from a One-Hit Kill, they truly could not rule out the possibility that one of their
