Chapter 259 Back to the Cave
"Are they down there?" Marcus asked in a cold voice, looking down from the snowy mountain where Nancy was.
Inside the helicopter, a computer was placed in front of the slender young man. Even if he was ill, his fingers tapped on the keyboards flexibly.
"Well, three kilometers away from here, but the sound of the helicopter is too loud. We can't get in."
The loud sound would cause avalanches. They might be fine, but Nancy and Shawn would be in danger.
Marcus wouldn't leave his sister any harm.
"Everybody, land."
Marcus gave the order, and all the helicopters found a place to land. Then a group of young, dressed in the same uniform descended from the helicopters.
Everybody had got a backpack on them and was going to enter the mountain to look for Nancy.
"Marcus, I want to go with you."
Adam ran in front of Marcus and looked determined.
"I'm sick and I can't follow you, but I can locate Nancy's phone and offer some help."
Symon pressed his lips and looked at Adam. Even if he wanted to enter the mountains, he had to admit that his health didn't allow him to do so.
He clenched his fist and lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment. He felt so helpless.
Marcus stared at Adam for a moment.
Adam was afraid of Marcus's oppressive gaze, but didn't want to be outdone and tried to meet Marcus's piercing gaze.
"I can!"
Marcus turned around and said, "Let's go."
Adam was ecstatic. "Wait for me, Marcus."
Neil pushed his eyeglasses and patted Adam's head.
"Good. You've grown up."
Adam smiled but then tried to keep a straight face and pretended to be mature.
"I'll find Nancy and Shawn!"
Symon was left behind to communicate with Marcus and others via a wireless network.
Neil was left behind too, not because he didn't want to go but because he was strong enough to cover the long distance.
But that didn't mean he couldn't help.
Neil snapped his fingers, and a white robot suddenly flew out of one of the helicopters, which was different from those of the Brook family. The small robot about the size of a basketball was suspended in the air like the technological products in the movie.
"I'll lend the robot to you."
At the command of the master, the robot flew to Marcus and them. Then the mechanical eyes shone lights, instantly illuminating the area 500 meters ahead.
The characteristic mechanical sound reached everyone's ears.
All but the Brook family were shocked by what they saw.
The high-tech robot could only appear in the movies.
And that was not the end of it. Neil shared the vision of the robot with Symon's computer screen.
"Alright, we can keep an eye on you."
Marcus looked at the time, waved his hands, and everyone started on the route the robot had planned.
Once inside the snow mountains, Adam, with a custom-made mobile phone, started to locate Nancy, Shawn, and others.
"Ivan and Nancy are not in the same place."
Adam had made some progress in his hacking skills. Although he processed it more slowly than Symon, he still managed to do it.
It was the first time Adam put what he had learned into practice. Adam felt a sense of accomplishment!
But when he found that Ivan's location was not different from Nancy's and Shawn's location.
"Did they lose their phones or were they separated?"
Marcus pointed at the headphones in his ear.
"Can you locate the cell phone of Shawn's two friends?"
"Yes."
Symon's voice came, and a few minutes later...
