Since the goods had already been delivered to Saxon County, the items Ye Liuyun had prepared for the transaction were quickly ready. Yara, after confirming the flight departure time from Pengcheng, did not linger in Saxon County and took off directly with the goods prepared by Ye Liuyun.

Taking advantage of the roads being open, the two quickly got Yara on a plane. Ye Liuyun had to leave early for some urgent matters, while Dong Tianyu stayed in Pengcheng waiting for his parents to arrive.

Most people from the Saxon County Camp had moved there from Pengcheng. Although they had gone, many relatives remained in Pengcheng, so once the roads were reopened, many took the opportunity to return to Pengcheng to visit family.

Even though Pengcheng had no shortage of food, Zachary still prepared some long shelf-life food as gifts.

Due to Mr. Thompson’s work, the family of three spent only three days in Pengcheng visiting friends and relatives.

The Thompson family relatives were faring fairly well. During the separation, not only had no one been lost due to the disaster, but there had also been the good news of new births.

Although Grandpa was still robust, he kept bringing up the cousin’s situation to Mr. Thompson and Zachary while at Grandpa’s home.

While Zachary and a cousin lived in Pengcheng, Grandpa still missed his own grandson. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The cousin had stayed in Magic City after graduating and only visited Pengcheng for a few days each year before the disaster. Since the disaster, the cousin from Magic City had been completely out of touch.

During dinner, Grandpa kept alluding to this, while the uncle kept his head down, eating silently without uttering a word.

Seeing this, Zachary and Mr. Thompson exchanged glances, and without speaking, both understood each other’s thoughts at this moment.

After dinner, Mrs. Thompson wanted to stay and chat with her father, but Mr. Thompson advised her to leave. Seeing the uncle who hadn’t spoken up until the end, Zachary said to him directly, "Uncle, I guess you’ve also inquired about the current situation.

Although there is a phone line directly to Magic City, this kind of satellite phone is not widely available. Even if I manage to borrow a satellite phone, I can’t get in direct contact with my cousin.

The simplest way to find out about my cousin’s situation is for you to visit Magic City yourself. The travel is quite convenient now. If you’re really set on going, I can help arrange the flight for you. You will fly from Pengcheng to Kyoto first, then transfer from Kyoto to Magic City."

Hearing Zachary’s words, the uncle did not speak, his face showing much hesitation.

Seeing the uncle like this, Zachary did not urge him and just stood beside him, waiting patiently.

After a long contemplation, the uncle finally spoke up, "Zachary, I know you’re capable. Could you go to Magic City to look for your cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Zachary couldn’t help but laugh, "Uncle, shouldn’t you be the one to go search for your nephew? Not to mention the cost of the trip, consider how much time it would take to find someone there.

To put it bluntly, I have my work. I can’t just go to Magic City to find out about my cousin’s situation.

If you really want to find your nephew, the most I can do is help arrange your itinerary. Once you get there, how to find him will be up to you to arrange."

Hearing Zachary’s words, the uncle fell silent again until Mr. Thompson called for Zachary to leave with him, and the uncle still hadn’t given a definite response.

On the way back to the city in the car, Zachary told his parents about the conversation with his uncle.

After hearing about the situation from Zachary, Mr. Thompson’s face showed an "I-knew-it" expression, while Mrs. Thompson’s face showed some hesitation, "Son, if you have time, why don’t you go to Magic City?"

Before Zachary could reply, Mr. Thompson scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you let your son do such an unrewarding task?

I’m not being narrow-minded, but with this kind of searching, if you find the person or get a clear message, that’s good. But if you don’t, when you come back, who knows how they might complain about you.

If the person isn’t found, they might say you didn’t try hard enough or other things. By then, you can’t clear up the issue even with ten mouths. Don’t give your son nonsense tasks for no reason."

After hearing Mr. Thompson’s words, Mrs. Thompson hesitated for a long time and eventually did not continue to speak.

Before Yara’s second visit, she directly contacted Zachary and, after quickly completing the transaction with a lot of haste, she left Pengcheng without even having a meal and took the return flight.

Upon receiving the mysterious items traded by Yara, Zachary casually sent them into the Cave to be decomposed.

With this batch of nutrients, the progress of upgrading the Cave surged by a notch.

The following days were somewhat uneventful. Ye Liuyun stayed mostly in Pengcheng after the two places were connected by road.

Zachary, not wanting to stay at home, moved into Ye Liuyun’s house. It happened to be a time when Ye Liuyun wasn’t at the camp, giving Zachary a relatively hidden space for cultivation.

Everyone thought this interlude between disasters would last only a month or two, as usual, but unexpectedly, more than a year went by, and a new disaster still had not occurred.
