"Call the consultant's home and see if anything happens." Asahina Yuutarou turned around at the door and looked at Nishida Jiro, "Nishida, go support Araki and the others first."

"Yes!"

Nishida Jiro responded and then quickly ran past Asahina Yuutarou.

After a while, a Condor roared across the sky.

"Team East? Where's the advisor?"

At this time, Moriyama Izumi's voice sounded again, but it was a call to Gu Chen's home and it was Higashi Kotaro who answered the call.

"The consultant went out early in the morning. Didn't he go to the headquarters?"

Higashi Kotaro asked curiously.

"No."

Izumi Moriyama replied.

"Did something happen?"

"A monster has appeared."

"Monster?! I'll be there right away!"

When Higashi Kotaro heard that a monster had appeared, he immediately became alert. After hanging up the phone, he rushed straight to the ZAT team headquarters.

On the other side, hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Izumi Moriyama couldn't help but put down the communicator in his hand and turned to look at Asahina Yuutarou.

"The advisor isn't home either? Where would he be now?"

Asahina Yutaro frowned slightly. At such a critical moment, Gu Chen would usually not be absent. Why was he nowhere to be seen this time?

"Moriya, you stay at the headquarters and try to contact the consultant. I'll go support Araki and the others first."

Thinking of this, Asahina Yuutarou gave an order to Moriyama Izumi and immediately left the operations room.

……

Beep, beep, beep, beep…

Feeling the vibration and reminder from the watch, Gu Chen took off his watch without changing his expression, and then slowly turned the barbecue skewers in his hand to ensure that they were heated evenly.

He had learned about what happened on Hachijo Island through the Light of the Earth, and had also sent an avatar to deal with it, so he should just quietly look at the sea and relax.

After a while, the skewers were ready. Gu Chen opened a bottle of happy water and started eating skewers while looking at the beautiful sea view.

……

At the ZAT team's headquarters base, seeing that he couldn't contact Gu Chen, Mori Shanquan couldn't help but start to get anxious, thinking that something had happened to Gu Chen.

Then, she suddenly had an idea and dialed the number again: "Assistant Shi, Assistant Shi, please reply, please reply, something bad has happened."

After a while, the communication was connected and Shi Xinyu's voice sounded: "What happened?"

"The consultant has disappeared, and I still can't get in touch with him."

When he heard Shi Xinyu's voice, Moriyama Quan seemed to have found his backbone.

"Don't worry, he just went to relax."

On the other side of the communication, Shi Xinyu looked at the note left in Gu Chen's office, then crumpled it up expressionlessly.

Gu Chen left, but all the work fell on her, the assistant officer.

Looking at the pile of documents piled up on the desk, Shi Xinyu sighed imperceptibly.

It is really her blessing to have such a leader.

"Relax? But, if a monster appears, don't we need to notify the advisor?"

After hearing Shi Xinyu's answer, Mori Shanquan felt relieved.

"I'll find a solution here, you guys deal with the monster problem first."

Hearing this, Shi Xinyu pondered for a moment and told Mori Shanquan not to worry about it.

Then the call was disconnected. Shi Xinyu thought about it, then picked up the phone and dialed a number.

There might be something wrong with Gu Chen's situation. Shi Xinyu was very sure of this. After all, she had worked under him for so many years and she had some understanding of Gu Chen.

Although Gu Chen would complain about being tired and not wanting to work on weekdays, he would still do the work himself unless there was a special event.

Moreover, once a special incident occurs, Gu Chen will be the first to understand the situation and even go to the scene to participate in the battle.

Although such behavior gave Shi Xinyu, Staff Officer Manabe and others a headache, they got used to it over time.

But now Gu Chen ignored the special incident and left all the work to his assistant. No one knew where he had gone and whether he had brought the barrier maker with him to avoid any danger and death on the spot.

So she thought it would be better to make a phone call to inform others.

"Staff Officer, it's me. The consultant is missing. He said he was going out to relax. Then he left all the work to me. He didn't care about any special events... Yes... Yes... Yes... Okay, no trouble, this is what I should do. Okay, bye."

After a few words, the call was disconnected.

Putting down the communicator, Shi Xinyu looked at the desk piled with documents again, sighed lightly, and resigned herself to taking the documents to her seat to start processing them.

On the other side, Staff Officer Manabe put down the phone and sighed softly.

What he was worried about still happened, but it was also something he expected. After all, in this line of work, Gu Chen was really too young.

Being young generally also means being immature, especially for someone like Gu Chen who has clear political views. When he sees that there is no hope of achieving his political views, he will definitely feel a little frustrated.

Thinking of this, Staff Officer Manabe stood up from his chair, temporarily put down the work at hand, said something to his secretary, and drove away from his office.

As for where Gu Chen is now, Staff Officer Manabe doesn't have to worry about not knowing.

After all, people of Gu Chen's status would carry a positioning device on them, but this positioning device would not automatically turn on unless it detected any abnormality in Gu Chen's vital signs, unless someone with higher authority actively turned it on.

Coincidentally, Chief of Staff Manabe is a person with even higher authority than Gu Chen.

Therefore, Staff Officer Manabe took out an instrument, and Gu Chen's location was transmitted to the special instrument in Staff Officer Manabe's hand via satellite.

After matching the coordinates on the map, Staff Officer Manabe was slightly stunned. He did not expect that Gu Chen would actually go to that place.

That was the place where humans declared war on the Nongmalt people, where humans drew their swords against Tiga, and where the first Tiga disappeared.

Staff Officer Manabe was a little confused as to why Gu Chen wanted to go to that place to relax.

With such doubts in mind, Staff Officer Manabe drove all the way to the beach where Gu Chen was.

Soon, Staff Officer Manabe saw the Black Panther docked on the beach.

Then, there was the figure of Gu Chen leisurely eating skewers on the beach.

The charcoal fire was curling and steam was rising. Gu Chen used a brush to evenly apply oil on the skewers of meat. Listening to the sizzling sound of the oil coming into contact with the high temperature made people feel hungry.

"Hey, Staff Officer Manabe, what a coincidence, would you like a skewer?"

Hearing the sound of a car passing behind him, Gu Chen turned around, raised the half-roasted skewers in his hand, and greeted warmly to Staff Officer Manabe who got out of the car.
