After the spacecraft retrieved everyone, the return journey was halted because everyone was hoping for a miracle, hoping to see that Qi Yue was not dead. This waiting lasted several days. The United States military officers on board the spacecraft raised their objections, but at that time, the spacecraft was filled with countless threats of violence. No one dared to anger those Eastern lions. Moreover, even the Pope and Rain Eye were willing to wait.
This waiting lasted several days. The spacecraft practically searched every corner of that airspace, but still found nothing, until the energy of the spacecraft was nearly exhausted and insufficient for a return to Earth. Only then did they head back. The President of Mejion promised to dispatch all space reconnaissance ships to look for Qi Yue's whereabouts, dead or alive, the search would go on.
