long night fire

"Why are you so clear?" Du Heng was a little surprised.

Shang Jian Yao straightened his back and replied triumphantly:

"Because we were the ones who found the headquarters of the Eighth Research Institute, and we were the ones who spread the news."

We didn't spread the news, we just reported it to the company... Jiang Baimian corrected Shang Jianyao's statement in his heart.

Du Heng nodded, smiled and praised:

"You are very good, it is not in vain for me to guide you again and again."

"Yes, yes." Shang Jianyao accepted it frankly.

This made Jiang Baimian, who wanted to be humble, unable to answer the conversation.

She parked the car, and put on the military exoskeleton device with Shang Jianyao.

Then, they went to the corridor connecting the elevator area together with Du Heng.

Chapter 116 In-depth

Along the way, Jiang Baimian found that there was nothing in those open rooms, it was empty.

If it weren't for the occasional broken beds and broken chairs, she wouldn't be able to be sure that this was a place to live.

"It's really clean..." She said with emotion from the bottom of her heart.

"Don't give the relic hunters a chance." Shang Jianyao sighed.

Du Heng reached out and touched the handle of the door next to him, and said with a smile:

"That wouldn't be the case.

"The handle, the floor tiles, the ceiling, and these lamps are still valuable, not to mention that there may be steel bars in the wall..."

Dangdang, Shang Jianyao's applause interrupted Du Heng's words.

He praised:

"Teacher Du Heng, you have a lot of life experience."

Du Heng laughed:

"No matter how I say it, I am still a hunter of relics for many years."

It has only been a few years since I became an "official hunter"... Jiang Baimian silently added in his heart.

After coming to the elevator area, she checked the following:

"There is still electricity."

"There is still electricity!" Shang Jianyao was shocked, "Blessed are the relic hunters."

"Maybe the Eighth Research Institute didn't have time to dismantle the power station, and it should have been a few days after they moved, and the power station is still running automatically." Jiang Baimian guessed the reason.

Judging from the terrain of the mountains and the characteristics of the ice sheet, it is impossible to build hydroelectric power plants or thermal power plants here, and it is not suitable for solar power generation. Wind power is limited by seasons, and it is impossible to maintain the stable operation of the entire research institute.

Therefore, Jiang Baimian suspects that there is a miniaturized nuclear power plant somewhere on this mountain.

"It's a good thing, you don't need to climb the stairs." Du Heng pressed the button indifferently.

One of the elevators opened the door immediately.

Jiang Baimian frowned suddenly.

This was blocked by the mask of the military exoskeleton device, and no one noticed.

Seeing Du Heng and Shang Jianyao walking towards the elevator, Jiang Baimian hurriedly said:

"something wrong with."

"What's wrong?" Shang Jianyao asked.

Jiang Baimian pointed to the elevators and said:

"You see, at least one-third of the elevators stop on the fifth floor."

"What's the problem?" The honest Shang Jianyao expressed his confusion confidently.

Seeing Du Heng also looked over, Jiang Baimian explained:

"Normally, the transfer must come to the entrance and exit level to gather and leave.

"Those elevators should all stop on the ground floor."

"Maybe the last batch of people who came down didn't use all the elevators." The honest Shang Jianyao retorted.

"The problem is that as many people go up, as many people come down." Jiang Baimian had already analyzed the corresponding situation.

The same group of people used seven or eight elevators to go up, but not only three or four elevators to go down.

"It's normal to squeeze." Shang Jianyao said, his voice suddenly lowered, and he told a ghost story, "Maybe some people went up and didn't come down again..."

This is exactly what Jiang Baimian wants to say:

"Then where did they go?"

"I don't know." Shang Jianyao shook his head, "I haven't sensed their human consciousness anyway."

Speaking of this, he looked terrified:

"Is there a trap on it?"

"Go up and have a look and you'll know." Du Heng was still calm and didn't care much.

It's easy to say... Jiang Baimian thought for a while, but he didn't object. He just reminded Shang Jianyao with the help of the communication system embedded in the military exoskeleton:

"I'll keep a little distance from Mr. Du Heng later, and drag behind him."

Shang Jian Yao raised his right hand and made a good gesture.

This time, neither he nor Jiang Baimian carried an assault rifle. Anyway, the military exoskeleton device had a corresponding weapon module.

The three of them took the elevator and soon reached the fifth floor.

There is little natural lighting here, relying entirely on street lights on the ceiling.

Fortunately, the power hasn't gone out yet.

Otherwise, the search efficiency of Jiang Baimian and others will be greatly reduced.

According to Professor Qin's memory, the fifth floor is divided into three parts.

Coming out of the elevator, the first area is where the "Professors' Association" usually meets and the various departments that provide services for it.

In that conference room, not to mention the materials, there was not even a scrap of paper left.

It might be because the black conference table was too big to move, and it was placed in the center of the room, but there was no chair around it.

"Too thorough, too thorough..." Shang Jianyao shook his head and sighed.

The nearby rooms belonging to different departments are also in a similar state, only the most cumbersome things are left, and occasionally one or two copies of paper documents can be seen, but it is not someone's punishment decision, or some material distribution plan, which belongs to the existing Obsolete, do not take away and affect nothing.

Passing through this area, after passing through a dark metal gate, Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Du Heng entered the place where the "Vice President", "Professor Li" and other "New World" powerhouses lived.

There is not only the room where they slept, but also the original dean's office.

For some reason, as soon as he stepped into this area, Jiang Baimian felt a heavy heart.

This is very close to the dreary and depressing feeling before the storm.

"Do you think something is wrong?" She asked Shang Jianyao with the help of the communication system of the military exoskeleton device.

Shang Jianyao replied:

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"Didn't you feel dark and tight in your chest?" Jiang Baimian asked.

"No." Shang Jian Yao usually doesn't joke around at such times.

Jiang Baimian turned his head sideways, made a sound, and asked Du Heng.

Du Heng also shook his head:

"It's normal."

"That may be my own problem..." Jiang Baimian was almost speechless.

She analyzed it and found the most likely cause:

She is the weakest of the three.

In the realm of the awakened.

Although she has passed the psychological shadow that has delayed her for a long time, she has no way of knowing how far she is from the "spiritual corridor". However, Shang Jianyao and Du Heng have explored the depths of the "spiritual corridor". The awakened one has a mysterious origin, and his strength is only stronger than Shang Jianyao's.

In the rooms of those "New World" powerhouses, not only were all the instruments that maintained their physical activity gone, but there was not even a single bed that they could move on.

"The locusts are crossing the border, the locusts are crossing the border!" Shang Jianyao was heartbroken, "If it wasn't for the inconvenient removal of the toilet, they would have taken them away together."

"Understandable." Du Heng smiled and comforted, "There is a lack of supplies on the dusty soil. Although the Eighth Research Institute controls some military bases and corresponding farmland and factories, it is not lacking everything. Moreover, this is also to prevent us from passing Find useful information with clues."

Shang Jianyao glanced at the toilet in the bathroom, and said indignantly:

"It's driving us so fast, just pump out the dung!

"This can analyze the physical conditions of the corresponding 'New World' powerhouses. I don't believe they even took away the feces!"

You must have read too much old world entertainment materials... Jiang Baimian let out a sigh of relief and said:

"In the septic tank, so many are mixed together, do you know who belongs to whom?"

Moreover, the strong in the "New World" usually rely on infusions to maintain their vital signs.

Shang Jian Yao was taken aback for a moment:

"It's because I haven't considered it carefully enough."

After leaving the rooms of those "New World" powerhouses, they continued to go deep into this area.

Under the corridor, gusts of wind from an unknown source blew, bringing a chill that pierced the bone marrow.

——It’s not yet summer on the ice sheet, and the mountainside is extremely cold.

Shang Jian Yao looked up at the ceiling and said:

"Why don't these lights move?

"If they're dangling around, flickering on and off, it's more sensational."

His tone was full of regret.

"It's meaningless, and Xiaohong is not here." Jiang Baimian responded casually.

"Yeah..." Shang Jian Yao sighed.

Not long after, they arrived at the office that Professor Qin remembered originally belonged to the dean.

The room was tightly closed and tightly locked, as if there was some scourge inside.

"Do you want to go in?" Jiang Baimian asked deliberately.

Before Du Heng answered, Shang Jianyao said:

"Professor Qin has never sensed that there is human consciousness in it."

"Let's take a look, maybe you can find something." Du Heng said in a tone that has come all the time, "There is something, and the Eighth Research Institute should have transferred it long ago."

Jiang Baimian did not express any objection.

I don't know where the key to that door was lost, but Shang Jianyao couldn't be bothered.

He lifted his right foot covered with metal skeleton and kicked it forward forcefully.

With a bang, the door fell apart.

There was no light in the room, Jiang Baimian saw the flying sawdust and the accumulation of dust visible to the naked eye with the help of street lamps.

Pa, Shang Jianyao turned on the light inside.

Under the light, the panorama of the room came into the eyes of the three.

It's not big here, a desk is placed on the innermost side, with a few documents scattered on it, no computer, no books.

There is a row of bookshelves near the door, and the other side is the sofa area.
