Neverland

Since Qin Wei's energy sample has power fluctuations that are not from the world line, Xu Muzhou doesn't need to think too much about the source.

Although Xu Muzhou didn't know how Qin Wei obtained the sample, he was also aware of the seriousness of this problem—this meant that Qin Wei had the means to preserve the sample.

Xu Muzhou has long discovered that although Yan Cen is almost omnipotent, when faced with technological means, his reaction will always be slower than others.But Xu Muzhou, as a technology enjoyer in the 21st century, of course knows that this kind of thing is like a firecracker. As long as there is a lead, it will take minutes to take off.

So this is a very serious hidden danger. If the energy sample is compared to some kind of information chain, then Qin Wei has the sample, and it is not impossible to trace the source.

——But how could the guides of Neverland leave such an important thing behind, Xu Muzhou thought.

The electronic wall clock on the wall dutifully issued a reminder for lunch break, Xu Muzhou came back to his senses, subconsciously glanced at the safe in the corner of the inner room, and then glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Xiao Xu, are you going to eat together?" The team leader of group A locked the door inside and asked casually.

"I'm not going to eat." Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes to hide, fiddled with the sensor handle in front of him, and said, "I ate a little too much in the morning, and I'm not too hungry now."

The researchers in Group A and Xu Muzhou didn't usually work together, and they didn't know much about his habits, so they stopped insisting after hearing the words, and left after a few words of advice.

The office door was taken from the outside, and the metal door's slide rails made a slight friction sound. Xu Muzhou didn't look back, and waited guiltyly for three or four seconds before slowly relaxing the tense shoulders.

Xu Muzhou let go of the joystick in his hand, turned his head and looked in the direction of the door.

The office of group A is more than three times larger than that of group C, and it is a room similar to a suite building.The outer room is used as an office, and most of the space is separated by enclosed glass. It is the core experiment room of Group A.The energy sample that Qin Wei kept was placed there.

It's just that the core experiment room is equipped with sophisticated sensing instruments, and once there is no sign of life inside, it will be locked immediately. Xu Muzhou weighed it and felt that with his own ability, the chance of success in going in and destroying the sample is about zero.

Xu Muzhou took two steps towards the glass partition, staring at the sample box inside with a frown.

The sample box is made of all metal and is placed in a hollow glass tube, hanging in the center of the laboratory.Taking the box, which looked like a square metal Rubik's Cube from the outside, Xu Muzhou observed it for a while, but he didn't find any traces of energy inside.

——Perhaps ask Yan Cen to come over and take a look, if you can see something, Xu Muzhou thought.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the communicator on his wrist, and was about to send a text message to Yan Cen, but hesitated again.

The special scientific research team is independent from the central base, and Yan Cen is not qualified to come and go at will.If Qin Wei knew that Yan Cen had secretly entered the special research team when she was not around, it would be difficult for her not to be suspicious.

There is a precedent for reporting work, Xu Muzhou would rather raise Qin Wei to the first level of alert in a hurry, and dare not slack off in the slightest.

But it’s not the same thing to just leave this thing alone. He and Yan Cen can pat their butts and leave after completing the mission, but maybe one day they will wake up in Neverland, and they will have to face their own problems. Qin Wei found from the other side of the "bridge".

When Xu Muzhou just thought about this scene, he felt that it was an embarrassing scene with capital letters. Goose bumps all over his body, he shook his head quickly, and shook the scene out.

The sample box is close at hand, but unfortunately Xu Muzhou's authority is still far away from this kind of core secret, so he dare not act rashly. Let's talk again.

Xu Muzhou left the surveillance area of ​​Group A's office, closed the door, and looked back through the glass to see what was going on inside.

For some reason, in this mission world, Xu Muzhou always felt a sense of insecurity.

Whether Yan Cen is perfecting the daily work for Qin Wei, or the current research progress in the laboratory, they have shown Xu Muzhou anytime and anywhere that Qin Wei is a very special existence.

She couldn't be regarded by Xu Muzhou as a game NPC from another world like the previous mission objects.Qin Wei's ability and uncontrollability made Xu Muzhou feel threatened without exception.

Xu Muzhou shook his head, walked to the surveillance corner in the corridor, and turned on the communicator.

The communicator hummed slightly on Yan Cen's wrist, the vibration stopped and started again, and the cycle lasted more than 20 seconds.Yan Cen waited patiently for the end of the response period to automatically hang up, his eyes moved slightly, and he did not raise his hand to check the message.

——Because Qin Wei is back.

"Hongfei?" Qin Wei, who was on the opposite side of the video call, slightly bent her eyes and asked in a good mood, "What's wrong?"

Yan Hongfei's communicator had already been turned to silent mode by Yan Cen, and the slight vibration was almost negligible through remote communication.

"No." Yan Cen said without changing his face, "I will arrange the route for you to enter the base."

The area of ​​the central base is too large. Of course, it is impossible for Qin Wei to get off the car at the door, and then step by step into the central area through the outer gate.She has her own lane, which is closed most of the time and only opened when needed.

"Don't worry." Qin Wei said, "I came back early this time because I have something to do."

Yan Cen is different from Xu Muzhou, he has to deal with Qin Wei almost every day these days.Whether it's the future decision-making of District C or the daily affairs report, Yan Cen has roughly figured out Qin Wei's temperament through these bits and pieces of communication.

She is much more mature and stable than girls of the same age. This is probably due to her childhood experience, which makes Qin Wei's mental age a few years older than her actual age.

Yan Cen has been working as "Yan Hongfei" for more than half a month, and this is the first time he has seen Qin Wei show such obvious positive emotions.

The communicator on the wrist started to vibrate again, except for Xu Muzhou, no one would contact him so frequently.Yan Cen's left hand outside the camera subconsciously turned around, thinking that Xu Muzhou's eagerness to contact him and Qin Wei's short-term notice to return to the central base may have something to do with it.

Qin Wei doesn't have many personal hobbies, and there is no special day recently.In the remote video conference a few days ago, Yan Cen also heard the results of her going out to negotiate this time, and it seemed that things were not going very smoothly.

——Very suspicious, Yan Cen thought.

There may be many things that can make Qin Wei happy, but the factor that makes her look so radiant is that Yan Cen doesn't think about anything except Song Yan.

But the problem is that the progress bar on Xu Muzhou's wrist has not moved for a long time.Qin Wei's obsession is stuck in a place where it can't go up or down, as if it's stopped at the final safety limit.

"Do I need to make any preparations?" Yan Cen asked calmly.

"No need." Qin Wei smiled: "My car will arrive at the central base in five minutes."

The camera of the video call captured a flash of surveillance equipment. Qin Wei's car drove past the area fence 600 meters away from the central base at a constant speed. Yan Cen looked away from the screen and said yes in a low voice.

The video call came to an abrupt end, and the communication projection beside Qin Wei flickered and disappeared beside her.

Qin Wei flicked the communicator, turned off the communication mode, and looked sideways at an electronic screen on the other side.

This electronic screen was embedded on the back of the co-pilot, so it was convenient for Qin Wei sitting in the back row to check it at any time.When the call was just made, Qin Wei's communicator had a very tricky angle, so she didn't capture the screen.

If Yan Cen saw this screen, he would find that Qin Wei was watching the surveillance cameras in the central base.

Xu Muzhou had disappeared from the monitoring screen for 15 minutes, but Qin Wei was not in a hurry at all. She put away the communicator, relaxed her body and leaned on the back of the chair behind her, tapped her elbows with her fingers, and waited for Xu Muzhou to return. Mu Zhou reappeared in the screen.

"General." The guard in charge of driving in the front seat asked routinely: "The central base is ahead, should we stop near the second gate as usual?"

Qin Wei's exclusive car passage can directly lead to the central area, but for safety, there is no corresponding parking lot under the central area.In addition, in order to prevent the vehicle from being tampered with, Qin Wei usually gets off near the security check of the second gate, and asks people to change the road to the outer parking lot for vehicle inspection.

The guard just asked casually, and had already slowed down habitually, but heard Qin Wei say, "Go straight back to the central area."

The other party was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at her from the rearview mirror.

The screen on the monitoring screen moved, and Xu Muzhou re-entered the mirror from a corner of the screen. Qin Wei glanced at the time and found that Xu Muzhou had disappeared for exactly 10 minutes.

Xu Muzhou in the surveillance screen obviously didn't know that he was being spied on. While rubbing his cuffs, he subconsciously returned to the original route. When he walked to the office of Group 1, he stopped for some reason.He looked into the room along the window, hesitated for a while at the door, then turned around and left.

The surveillance camera in the corridor changed its angle according to his walking direction. Qin Wei looked at it and found that he was walking towards the lobby of the central area.

"Send a message to the person in charge of Group 3." Qin Wei said, "I heard that the B-2 experiment has entered the clinical stage. Please Dr. Xu to make a follow-up report."

"The leader of Group 3 should be free." Qinwei called out the contact page and reminded: "Dr. Xu's qualifications are still young, and he may not be as familiar with the research content as the leader of Group 3."

"It's him." Qin Wei seemed to be smiling, and she said meaningfully: "Dr. Xu is young and promising, with great potential."

The personal guard saw that she had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more, and said yes, and sent a message to the person in charge of the third group.

"That's right." Qin Wei remembered something: "Give Yan Hongfei high-level emergency authority."

"...What?" The guard was completely stunned: "You—"

The high-level emergency authority is usually only activated during wartime. The main significance is that if something unexpected happens to Qin Wei and the management of Area C cannot be carried out, then the decision-making and management rights of the affairs of Area C will be temporarily handed over to the person with emergency authority. hands.

This authority is tantamount to the secondary protection of Area C.

"He did a good job in the assessment during this time." Qin Wei said, "Yes."
