About six hours later, Chen Jin had led his expedition team back to the huge crater camp. The second they arrived, he grabbed his bag and headed straight to the portal and went back to his bedroom.
Wa-Wah Wa-Wah!
In the bedroom, the robot Wa-Wah waved and greeted him from the corner. Chen Jin took his Huawei 2.0 from one of his drawers and turned it on, ignoring Wa-Wah. And as he expected, 124 missed calls from his mother.
The time was 4:16AM, October 9, 20x8. He was supposed to be home two days ago. His mother was sleeping upstairs. To take a load off her mind, Chen Jin did some cover-up and gave his mom a call around 5AM.
RINNGGG…
Her phone was answered immediately. "Son, where have you been? Why didn't you call me? Where are you now? Are you alright?" He Li got out of bed as soon as she got the call, anxiously asking him all sorts of questions.
