Neverland

Xu Muzhou received the communication application from the team leader of Group 3 on the way.

"...Do you want to report again?" Xu Muzhou asked.

"Yes." There was an obvious smile in the voice of the woman on the other side of the phone: "This is a good thing. The transfer applications for the special scientific research team are all selected by the major general. It will be good for your future development if you register with her. .”

Xu Muzhou was silent and did not speak.

In the new era, the proportion of stone ore and wood has been greatly reduced. 80.00% of the entire central base in Area C is made of metal materials. Xu Muzhou stood in the middle of the empty metal corridor. He pressed the earphone with one hand, feeling as if he was locked in a huge cage.

Qin Wei found him, Xu Muzhou thought.

His heart sank inch by inch, and he didn't do anything to the fluke that "maybe it was just a coincidence that she valued him".

"Dr. Xu" is just an ordinary researcher in the special scientific research group, and this kind of pie in the sky is unlikely to happen to him anyway - besides, Qin Wei is not a character who can make pies without nothing.

Xu Muzhou has always believed that there are no random coincidences or whims in this world, and all events have their root causes.

"Major General's time is very tight, I will see you in the office in 5 minutes." The team leader on the other end of the phone is still talking: "Fortunately, you know the experimental situation of B-2 better, and I will send the specific data to your The communication is in the cloud, please pay attention to check it."

The team leader of Team 3 didn't notice Xu Muzhou's abnormality, and he was still giving instructions on the other end of the phone.

Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes, humming from time to time to signal that he was listening.

The surveillance cameras in the corridor are constantly changing angles, and only the slight sound of mechanical friction remains in the quiet corridor.

Xu Muzhou raised his head, and his eyes just collided with a camera in front of him.

The cold and rigorous machine is coated with a layer of dark metallic color, the color of the lens is almost taupe, and the halo of the dome light embellishes a bright spot on the lens.Xu Muzhou's figure was shrunk down and merged into the transparent lens the size of a fingernail. Xu Muzhou looked at his figure in the lens, and suddenly felt like he was looking at someone.

"Little Xu—?"

"Ah, I'm here." Xu Muzhou hurriedly came back to his senses and said, "Say it."

"Don't be distracted when you are going to report." The team leader said worriedly: "Have you remembered what you just said?"

"Remember." Xu Muzhou said.

"Just remember." The other party breathed a sigh of relief: "Then go quickly, the major general's time cannot be wasted."

Xu Muzhou didn't speak, and cut off the call.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not, Xu Muzhou thought, after all, Qin Wei didn't really want to hear his report.Xu Muzhou still doesn't quite understand where his omissions have occurred. Qin Wei has not been in the base for many days, and how can he be sure that something is wrong with just a short work report.

Even just now, he was afraid that the sample box was a trap, so he didn't choose to act rashly. Where did he give Qin Wei the confidence to confirm it.

Xu Muzhou tightened his grip on the communicator.

The page on the communicator stays in the historical call, and below the communication code of the group leader of the 3rd group is the communication he just ended with Yan Cen 6 minutes ago.

Xu Muzhou originally wanted to delete this communication record habitually, but after thinking about it, he clicked on the SMS page first.

【——I'm going to give Qin Wei a report. 】

It took more than half a minute to answer the phone just now, and the deadline of "5 minutes later" given by Qin Wei is getting closer and closer.Under the dense monitoring in the corridor, Xu Muzhou didn't dare to call Yan Cen anymore, so he could only send him a text message.

【——I doubt she found me. 】

Xu Muzhou glanced at the screen and continued typing.

【——Although I don't know the consequences of revealing my identity, if I lose my horse, remember to leave me alone and be careful. 】

Xu Muzhou originally planned to just click to send, but when he looked at the information page, he felt that this topic was not quite right, it was a bit like the precursor to the climax of a certain war movie, as if his body was already full of small flags.

So he let go of the send button for the time being, and filled in two more lines on the text message.

[Of course, I may have to trouble you to take over my work in the future—Brother Yan!It's up to you! 】

[Neverland will be proud of an excellent employee like you who loves and works hard. 】

[PS: Remember to delete the text message. 】

Finally, Xu Muzhou filled in a smiley kaomoji with symbols and numbers, and finally felt that the atmosphere was good, so he clicked the send button.

The message interface flickered for a moment, and after prompting that the message was sent successfully, Xu Muzhou directly deleted the text message, smashing the message along with the communication records.

The time on the communicator skipped another minute, Xu Muzhou looked away from above, set the communicator to silent mode, turned and walked towards Qin Wei's office.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, it's up to fate, Xu Muzhou thought.

Of course Xu Muzhou's two legs are no match for a four-wheeled car, not to mention he has to go through security checks over and over again.

When he hurried and knocked on the door of Qin Wei's office with the tail of "5 minutes", Qin Wei was already waiting for him inside.

Qin Wei just came back from the outside, feeling chilly all over her body, she looked at Xu Muzhou who was standing at the door like a formidable enemy, but she laughed first.

"Dr. Xu." Qin Wei said, "Please come in."

Her attitude was too ambiguous, Xu Muzhou looked at her vigilantly, did not make a sound, but took two steps, barely closing the distance.

"Open the skylight and speak the truth." Qin Wei said, "Dr. Xu, I think you're not here to give a report either."

The door of the office closed behind Xu Muzhou, and the surveillance camera facing the door turned down a slight angle, facing Xu Muzhou's face.

Xu Muzhou could see clearly that Qin Wei had the same type of random mech he had seen in Yan Cen's wrist hanging on the wrist of Qin Wei, and there was a gun on the desk beside him.Judging from the meager knowledge of weapons that Xu Muzhou had acquired from Yan Cen in the past few days, the gun was still loaded.

——The Hongmen Banquet still has a banquet anyway!Xu Muzhou thought angrily, what kind of strawberry milk cake is simply misleading.

"I'm here to give a report." Xu Muzhou lowered his eyes, and refused to admit it with an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "You asked me to come."

"I called you here." Qin Wei said.

She leaned back on the wide chair and waved at Xu Muzhou.

"Dr. Xu, you can come closer." Qin Wei said, "In this room, the security is the same for you standing at the door and standing in front of my desk—or it is safer in front of me."

Xu Muzhou gritted his teeth secretly.

Qin Wei stripped off the coat that hid her hierarchy, and began to reveal her independent personality underneath.Sharp, resolute, and a bit of a bad factor.

Of course Xu Muzhou understood what she meant, and knew that what she said was indeed the truth. In this office, if Qin Wei really wanted his life, it would be an easy matter.

Xu Muzhou didn't answer, but followed his advice and walked a few steps forward, stopping three steps away from Qin Wei's desk.

Qin Wei did not force him to come forward, but took out a box of something from her pocket, and motioned to Xu Muzhou.

"Do you want it?" Qin Wei said.

Xu Muzhou took a quick glance and found that it was actually a tattered box of cigarettes.

This pack of cigarettes is different from Xu Muzhou's cognition, but tobacco is always the same, and it can be smoked by rolling it with tissue paper, so Xu Muzhou recognizes it as no obstacle.

Since he came to this timeline, he has never seen such a thing. Whether it is a scientific researcher or an ordinary soldier, it seems that neither of them has the habit of smoking.Xu Muzhou didn't understand why Qin Wei took this thing out for a while, because of his almost nothing vest, Xu Muzhou only took one look and then looked away.

"No, thank you." Xu Muzhou said, "I don't know this thing."

"Really." Qin Wei said.

Qin Wei took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. New Era Tobacco was simpler than the boxed cigarettes that Xu Muzhou knew. There was no strict distinction between the cigarette holder and the cigarette body. It looked more like the kind of old people. I am used to self-rolling cigarettes, which are out of place in this office.

Xu Muzhou frowned and didn't speak.

Qin Wei didn't look at him either, but found a small firearm from the desk and lit the cigarette.

She obviously doesn't smoke, Xu Muzhou can tell.

People who are not used to smoking tobacco will instinctively reject this irritating feeling, and will not let the smoke enter the body. They will only exhale the smoke with their mouths, which is very easy to distinguish.

The smell of this low-grade tobacco was very strong, Qin Wei slightly frowned.

She only took a puff to ensure that the cigarette was lit, and placed it in a small crystal bowl on the table.

The tobacco continued to burn, and wisps of mist rose, blended into the air, and then were sucked away by the central ventilation facility.

"Would you mind telling me your name?" Qin Wei asked.

"Xu Muzhou." Xu Muzhou said.

Qin Wei smiled, wondering if she believed what he said.

"Dr. Xu, I have to say that you are really cautious." Qin Wei said, "Although I don't know how you...or the people behind you did it, you are indeed like a fish in water in my central area, and you As for everyone around you, they didn't realize that there was an 'outsider' beside them."

Xu Muzhou's expression turned serious.

Qin Wei had already talked about this, so of course Xu Muzhou wouldn't naively mean that the other party was still cheating on him.

"It's amazing. It's even more terrifying than I expected." Qin Wei said, "But I'm also grateful for your coming... My guess is finally confirmed."

"There is indeed another world in this world, right?" Qin Wei said.

"Since you have said that I am cautious..." Xu Muzhou asked in a deep voice, "Then how did you find me?"

"Don't be so nervous." Qin Wei said: "This expression looks a bit too sloppy."

"It's actually very simple." Qin Wei stood up from her desk and looked directly at Xu Muzhou: "Although I don't know how you managed to make other people accept your existence..."

Xu Muzhou was startled, and then a very absurd thought came to him.

"But the special scientific research team has a total of 18 people, all of whom I personally selected." Qin Wei said, "Among these people, there is no one named Xu Muzhou."
