This warehouse is very large and divided into three rooms.There is a thermometer on the glass door of the first room on the right, indicating that the temperature inside is -80°.There are many barreled containers made of special equipment, which should be frozen specimens that need to be stored at low temperature.

Feng Chen knew that the box would not be here, so he walked to the next room.

In the second room, there are large and small glass jars, soaking various human or animal body parts.Feng Chen glanced at it and walked straight to the third room.

These glass jars made Yan Bubu feel very horrified, but he couldn't help being curious, and kept turning his head to look at them.

"Look, is that a fetal zombie? It's only as big as my palm." Wang Suizi pressed against the glass, pointing at one of the glass jars and whispered.

Looking at the little zombie floating in the glass jar, Yan Bubu couldn't tell what it was like, so he dragged her away from there: "Don't look, it should be that its mother has become a zombie, and it died before it was born." Then it changed."

The third room is very large, and there are rows of shelves with specimens of the institute, such as some kind of uncommon ore, or some kind of strange and rare tree roots, and many sealed boxes.

Seeing that Feng Chen was already looking for it on the shelf, Yan Bubu also went to another row to start looking.

"Brother Feng, what are you looking for? We'll help you too." Cai Tao asked.

Feng Chen didn't hide it either: "A silver-white cipher box the size of a cigarette case, made of a special metal material, smooth but grainy."

"Then look for it, I'll go to the monitoring room on the second floor and delete our surveillance video." Ding Hongsheng said.

Feng Chen nodded: "Okay, do you need help?"

"No need, as long as there is no one, the operation is very simple."

Ding Hongsheng went to the monitoring room to delete the video, and everyone else began to rummage through the shelves, and when they saw something unusual, they would look up at the specimen name on the shelf.

"What kind of animal's bone is this? A mutated Zine Gu beast... This is the first time I've heard of such a beast."

"What's in this jar? Salt? It turned out to be powdered canesite. I thought it was salt."

Ten minutes later, the warehouse was searched all over, but no one found the silver-white cipher box.

Yan Bubu walked around to Feng Chen's side from the other end of the shelf: "Brother, could the box not be placed here?"

"It's normal whether you're here or not." Feng Chen looked around: "The soldiers from the research institute are coming back soon, everyone should look for it again before they do."

Everyone started the screening again, this time the search was more careful, and any specimen that could fit a cryptex would be picked up and shaken.

Yan Bubu and Feng Chen faced back to each other, picked up a large ore to look through it, he suspected that the ore was hollow, and shook it from side to side: "Brother, what if we can't find that box?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't find it." Feng Chen said flatly: "Finding the box will verify one of my guesses, but if I can't find it, it will verify another guess of mine."

Yan Bubu pondered for a while: "You mean, it doesn't matter if the box is here or not?"

"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's here or not."

Yan Bubu wanted to say something else, but Feng Chen interrupted him: "Look for it quickly, don't use your strength on your mouth. Of course it would be better if you can find it, so you don't have to go through a lot of trouble in the future."

"it is good."

Cai Tao muttered as he rummaged: "What kind of treasure is it? Of course, I don't have to figure it out, but I'm just curious..."

"Since you don't have to find out, then you don't have to be curious." Ji Yi, who was separated from him by the locker, smacked his lips, "Actually, I want to know what's delicious in the kitchen of the research institute."

Chen Wenchao said: "If you're looking for something, just look for it, can you stop talking so much nonsense?"

Cai Tao said: "I didn't stop, I was able to find things while talking... Hey, what kind of skull is this? It seems to be a mutant, it looks so strange——"

Chen Wenchao suddenly turned serious, and interrupted Cai Tao: "The soldiers are back."

Seeing everyone stop and look at him, he added: "The convoy of the research institute just passed the intersection on the right, and there are five off-road vehicles in total."

"Did your crocodile see it? Why didn't my wolfhound tell me?" Cai Tao asked strangely.

Chen Wenchao ignored him, Ji Yi said: "Do you still need to ask? Your wolfhound must have gone crazy without knowing where to go."

Feng Chen put down the box in his hand: "Let's go, it only takes about 8 minutes to get here from the intersection on the right, let's leave quickly."

"Aren't you looking for it? But you haven't found it yet." Yan Bubu was holding a tree root and shaking it vigorously.

Feng Chen took out the tree root and put it back to its original place, then led him and said, "I won't look for it anymore, let's leave immediately."

A group of people walked towards the door, Feng Chen glanced at a large dark clay pot on the shelf next to him, suddenly paused, and said, "Wait a minute."

Yan Bubu also stood still, watching Feng Chen pick up the big pot and dump it on the ground.The pot was filled with soil, and it was dumped on the ground together with the lid of the clay pot.

Feng Chen explained while pouring: "The labels on the top of each item are very detailed, and the specimens are clearly written, but the label on this jar only has a word written in soil."

"Soil? Is it some kind of rare earth? For example, what important minerals does it contain?"

Several people gathered around, Ji Yi picked up a pinch of soil, twirled it between his fingers, and brought it up to his nose to smell: "This is not an important specimen, it is the soil that can be seen everywhere on our second floor. It has not been long since the soil was put in, and there are still some of them. Moist, look, fresh grass roots still in there."

The clay pot was about to be emptied soon, and a streak of silvery white fell out from the mouth of the pot and landed on the dark soil.The first time Yan Bubu saw it, he recognized that it was the cipher box they were looking for.

"Brother!" He called out in surprise, picked up the box to wipe off the dirt, and held it up to the light to check.

"How? Is it this?"

"I finally found it, and it's actually hidden in this clay pot."

After Yan Bubu turned the box around, he silently looked at Feng Chen.

"Is it fake?" Feng Chen asked without any surprise.

Yan Bubu nodded, "It's fake." He pointed to one side and said, "There was a scratch here, but this box doesn't."

"Fake?" Several other people also stared at the box, "We turned into the research institute to find a fake box?"

"Let's go, we have to get out of here quickly, the soldiers will be back soon." Feng Chen didn't explain, put the box away and asked the intercom: "Old Ding, have you fixed it?"

"It's done. All the surveillance images tonight will be deleted. I'll wait for you at the stairs."

As soon as the words fell, a car sounded from far to near, and stopped in front of the research institute.

The few people didn't stay any longer, and quickly left the warehouse, closed the door, and went downstairs according to the original route.

"Team [-] and Team [-] go to eat first, Team [-] stays to set up posts, and Team [-] goes to check the place..." The voices of soldiers assigning tasks came from outside the gate.

Cai Tao, who was walking in the front, peeked out at the corner of the stairs, and found that the soldiers were gathering to listen to the order, so he quickly beckoned.

Ding Hongsheng, who was in the depths of the passage, hunched over, hid under those glass windows and ran over, joined a group of people, then quickly went down to the bottom floor, and turned to the back door behind the stairs.

"... Dismiss, go to your respective positions."

"Yes!"

The moment the soldiers pushed open the door, Ji Yi, who was walking last, also got out the back door.

"Quick, quick, they will soon find out that the monitor has been tampered with." Ding Hongsheng urged.

Running across the backyard, Ding Hongsheng climbed up the wall first, Feng Chen held Yan Bubu's waist, and directly lifted him up.The remaining two sentries did not delay, Ji Yi carried Wang Suizi on his shoulders, Cai Tao knelt down and let Chen Wenchao step on him.After the three guides climbed onto the wall, the three sentries climbed up neatly.

A few people were still on the top of the wall, and they heard the rapid and sharp alarm bell ringing in the office.

"We've been spotted, run away."

Even though there were bricks and rocks outside, Yan Bubu also jumped down, before he had time to stand still, he was dragged forward by Feng Chen like flying.

Several quantum beasts had already waited in the dark, and now they also chased after them, running forward with their master.

Cai Tao glanced at the bushes next to him while running: "Can we—"

"No." Feng Chen interrupted him, "Those sentries can find us with mental power."

Feng Chen released his mental strength while running, and poked towards the rear.

He saw people moving around in the research institute, some people were searching the interior, and some people opened the gate, and they were divided into several groups to search.

"Don't panic, we are all wearing sterile suits now, even if we are seen from the back, it will be fine." Feng Chen ordered: "Everyone disperses, take the Quantum Beast back to the spiritual domain, and return to the academy individually."

When they reached the intersection, they immediately divided into three directions.

Feng Chen led Yan Bubu and ran forward. The black lion had already withdrawn from the spiritual domain, but Binunu still ran with the two of them.

Feng Chen said into the headset: "The sentries are all ready, run if they can, and knock people unconscious if they can't, as long as they don't see their faces."

Binunu hesitated when he heard this.

Feng Chen turned his head and glanced at him: "You are an excellent student in the guide class, you don't need a guide for rough work like beating people."

Binunu no longer hesitated, and rushed forward directly past the two of them.

Feng Chen lurked his mental power around the corner, staring at the two soldiers chasing in their direction.When the two of them were about to turn a corner, their mental power struck the back of one of them like a knife.

The soldier was knocked unconscious immediately, and the remaining soldier was about to press the alarm in his hand, when Feng Chen turned his energy and struck him on the back of the neck again.

The soldier also fell silently.

This place is very close to the college, and you can see several trucks parked at the door, and someone shouted in front of each car: "The weapon is back, don't bring it into the college, which car you took in the beginning, go and change your clothes back , the combat uniforms are uniformly cleaned by the academy..."

"Take off the sterile suit quickly." Feng Chen whispered.

He quickly took off the sterile gown on his body, and helped Yan Bubu strip off his body, and then quietly stuffed it into the compartment of a car next to him.

Surrounded by students, he led Yan Bubu and joined the students as if nothing had happened.

The voices of several other people also sounded in the headset.

Ji Yi: "Wang Suizi, Ding Hongsheng and I climbed into a college truck, we should have thrown them off, and we are coming back with the truck."

Cai Tao: "I put a sterile suit on the wolf dog and let it lure people away. After I ran away, I took it back to the mental domain. Chen Wenchao and I also hid, hahaha..."

Yan Bubu and Feng Chen found the car they took when they started the next floor, handed over their guns, got in the car and changed back to their clothes.

"Remember to change your clothes, our car is parked at the gate."

After Yan Bubu instructed, Feng Chen stretched out his hands to straighten his collar. He stood still, listening to the discussions of the students around him.

"Fortunately, we got there in time. The rental site we were in charge of didn't suffer much casualties, but it looked miserable."

"The casualties at our point were a bit heavy. Some people were hidden in the cabinet and were found by the zombies, damn it."

……

"Let's go, let's go in." Feng Chen pulled Yan Bubu inside, "Go home first and take a shower and change clothes."

Back in the small building where the two lived, Feng Chen washed first, after washing, Yan Bubu went into the bathroom, and Feng Chen went out.

He didn't go in the usual direction to the teaching building, but turned right and walked into the depths of this small single-family building area.

The instructors and administrative staff of the college live in this area, and the dean is no exception.It's just that the dean's residence is larger than other small buildings, and it also has two small courtyards attached.

Kong Siyin was sitting behind the large desk in the study, talking on the phone with someone.

"...Yes, every sentinel guide is very precious now, so their safety must be guaranteed. Because the division time of the students is different, some of them will go to the battlefield with them as soon as they enter the academy. This is very dangerous. The actual combat of many students Lack of experience, I want to train them slowly, I hope the military department will try not to let them participate in too dangerous battles... Well, I listen... Well, I know the situation is difficult now, and the military department is short of manpower... ..."

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall and handsome young man in military uniform walked in, followed by a burly black lion.

Kong Siyin looked at Feng Chen, watched him turn and close the door, and lock it with a click, but he was still talking: "Students will continue to guard the plantation and mine, but if you can kill zombies, don't let them To deal with... ok, I know... ok."

Kong Siyin ended the call, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at Feng Chen calmly: "What's the matter?"

His tone was as if he was facing an ordinary student in the principal's office, not in his own study, where someone sneaked in silently and locked the door.

"I have something to do." Feng Chen walked to the center of the study and stopped, with a calm tone.

"If you have something to do, go to the dean's office and say, this is my home." Kong Siyin reprimanded: "Get out."

Feng Chen didn't respond, he took out a monitoring interference device from his pocket and put it on the coffee table next to him.And the black lion had already walked to Kong Siyin's side, and snapped the alarm hidden under the desk in two.

During this process, Kong Siyin never looked at the black lion, and only turned his gaze when the alarm sounded broken.

Feng Chen didn't ignore this point, so he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Dean Kong, you can't see my Quantum Beast?"

"I have experienced a mutation, and I recovered and became an ordinary person." Kong Siyin stared at Feng Chen from behind the lenses of the gold-rimmed glasses, "Why? Do you think an ordinary person can't be a whistleblower to the dean of the academy?"

"No, I just think that as an ordinary person, Dean Kong must have extraordinary wisdom and talent to become the dean of Senxiang Academy, which I admire even more." Feng Chen stood upright, with a neither humble nor overbearing attitude.

Kong Siyin said: "Then do you know that Chen Size, the consul of the Eastern Allied Army, and Ran Pinghao, the consul of the Western Allied Army, are ordinary people who have recovered from mutation?"

Feng Chen was slightly taken aback: "I don't know yet."

"What are you trying to do by sneaking into my house like this?" Kong Siyin narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were sharp, "Don't think that if you destroy such an alarm, I have no other way to deal with you."

"Of course I know that Dean Kong still has many ways, but I just want you to see one thing."

Kong Siyin slowly leaned back in his chair: "What are you looking at?"

Feng Chen reached into his pocket and took out the cipher box, stepped forward a few steps, put it on the desk in front of Kong Siyin, and returned it to the original place.

Kong Siyin's eyes fell on the cipher box for a few seconds, but his expression was not surprised, on the contrary, he put away his anger.

He stood up and walked to the water dispenser by the window: "Have a cup of coffee? A rare harvest in the plantation."

Feng Chen shook his head: "Thank you, no need."

"Well, actually I don't like drinking coffee either." Kong Siyin poured two cups of plain water, handed one to Feng Chen, and returned to the desk with the other to sit down.

"Okay, let's get down to business now." Kong Siyin raised his finger to the cipher box on the table, "What do you mean? You want to use this box to blackmail me? Then you are too naive."

Feng Chen put the water cup on the coffee table beside him: "Dean Kong misunderstood, I just wanted to ask, what happened when Major General Lin Fen handed over the cipher box back then."

Kong Siyin sneered and asked, "Why do you think I should tell you?"

Feng Chen said: "Based on the fact that so many people in the central city become zombies every day, this cryptex is related to the fate of everyone, and it is also based on Dean Kong's conscience."

Kong Siyin's face darkened, and his tone became cold: "Do you think I have no conscience?"

"Don't dare." Feng Chen said.

"I don't think there is anything you dare not do." Kong Siyin slapped the table, making a bang, and the teacups on the table also jumped.

Feng Chen's expression remained unchanged, and after taking two steps forward, he bowed his head to Kong Siyin and saluted: "Principal Kong, I wasn't sure at first, but when I saw the fake cipher box being put in the clay pot like that, I wondered." Understood."

"Understood what?" Kong Siyin asked back.

"You suddenly changed your mind to match me because you discovered the deep bond between me and my guide, and wanted to force me to use the relationship behind me. After you confirmed that I was not the person who was inserted by the East-West Alliance, you released this box. Put it in the warehouse of the research institute, waiting for me to get it. After I confirm that the cipher box is indeed fake, I will definitely come to you."

Feng Chen looked up at Kong Siyin: "Dean Kong, you are investigating me so cautiously, and then using the box to lure me, isn't it just because you want to tell me about Lin Fen?"
