The meaning of this sentence is not to let people in the institute live in the "past", but to stop them from trying to change the future they should have.

Ross Lee wanted to return the world to the apocalypse, but this had already gone against the trajectory of the world. Their behavior was discovered by Dragon Vein, which resulted in "forced correction" from Dragon Vein.

Dragon Vein will not stop Rose Lee directly, but will make the results he wants inexplicably disappear.

As a result, a serious mutation occurred in the research institute, almost wiping out their entire army.

Decades of scientific research results were also destroyed, as if the entire underground research institute did not exist.

When the underground energy is exhausted, this place will turn back into a wasteland.

From the day the institute was established, it was destined to be "erased".

"The third sentence, you can tell the truth or conceal the truth. If you choose nothing, you will be..."

Before Chu Yao finished speaking, Gu Xiaonan suddenly shouted frantically: "Stop talking! I told you to stop talking!"

"I was thinking before, what is 'contamination'... The process of becoming Vasak is 'contamination', right?" Chu Yao asked unhurriedly, "A human's daily drinking volume is at least 1000 Milliliters, even if you stock up on four boxes of mineral water, if each bottle is 500ml, you can only last for forty-eight days at most."

Now several years have passed. How did Gu Xiaonan survive in a water-scarce environment?

The room they entered in the living area was Gu Xiaonan's bedroom. When she had two bottles of water left, she could no longer control her mutation.

Just like the female researcher Gu Xiaonan met at the end said, "contamination" or mutation can be alleviated, and the way is to write words.

Writing can be said to be an ability unique to humans. Although some animals can simply write numbers, writing a complex sentence is something only humans can do.

Writing can make humans sober, but the process of defilement is to slowly make humans lose their minds, so "writing" is used to slow down the process of mutation.

Whether it is writing the truth or concealing the facts, in the final analysis, Gu Xiaonan needs to rely on constant thinking and writing to keep herself human.

Therefore, the bedtime book was filled with notes, including what happened in the institute.

But after all, writing can only delay but cannot completely contain it. The speed of mutation will slow down, but it will not stop.

The Vasak they met was actually not a researcher, but Gu Xiaonan.

She is no longer a human being. If she stays on the F3 floor when she is awake, she will be spared by the robot. However, since she just returned to human form from Vasak's state, she will naturally be judged as "alien" by the robot.

Gu Xiaonan knelt down on the ground dejectedly and said sadly: "I don't want to either...I don't want to either, but what can I do..."

If she could go back to the beginning, she would not choose to push Yueyue away. Even if she did not leave the institute at that time, Yueyue had already negotiated with the researcher and would definitely let her leave.

"I have one last thing to ask you." Chu Yao knelt down and looked at Gu Xiaonan. "Before all this started, where did you go after taking the photo?"

Gu Xiaonan was stunned for a while. She did have that memory in her mind, but because she had experienced too many cycles, she temporarily forgot the memory.

She no longer wanted to ask why Chu Yao knew. She blinked blankly, and dusty memories suddenly surged out.

"That day, after work, I was going back to the institution. When I was driving halfway, a man stopped my car and said he wanted a ride."

"Because there were very few taxis passing by that intersection, and I was in a good mood, I agreed."

"After getting in the car, he was still chatting with me at first, asking me where I bought the ornaments on the car..."

The picture in her mind seemed to be stuck, and Gu Xiaonan couldn't remember when it started.

She only remembered that her heart throbbed suddenly, and then she fell into the driver's seat.

She watched helplessly as the man skillfully took out a USB flash drive from her bag, copied all the contents inside, and put the USB flash drive back into its original place.

Gu Xiaonan didn't even know how the man knew that the USB flash drive belonged to Professor Xia and contained all the files in the institution.

She wanted to raise her hand and snatch the USB flash drive back, but her strength seemed to be drained away.

Gu Xiaonan felt that her body was shattering bit by bit, spreading upward from her fingertips, and she could even see her skin beginning to peel off.

At the end, when she completely lost consciousness, she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

It turned out that her whole body melted, leaving a huge caterpillar sucking her body.

"That man... that man..." her voice trembled, "I know him! He is..."

Her words were stuck in her throat, as if someone was strangling her throat. Gu Xiaonan stared desperately, trying to say the name.

But she failed. Her face instantly turned pale, as if someone had drained all the blood from her body.

Gu Xiaonan's body fell backwards, and she slammed her right hand to the ground. The little blood left stained the back of her hand red.

Zhou Weiqi on the side was stunned by the scene in front of him. A living person had his blood drained out of thin air!

This also proves that the stone book was not completely destroyed, it just cannot go back in time, but the oath rules set by the man in white robes are still in effect.

Zhou Weiqi asked tremblingly: "What's going on? Didn't she say that she didn't swear an oath in front of the stone book?"

"She thought she didn't have one. In fact, there are many ways to swear, just like the sentence she casually said, 'I am willing to have only twenty years left in my life.'" Chu Yao said with emotion.

After a long silence, Zhou Weiqi patted Chu Yao on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to go back."

After returning to the Secret Service, Ling Feng was already waiting for them in the office.

It can be said that I have gained a lot after coming back from the research institute this time, and the things left behind by the research institute still need to be dealt with by the Secret Service.

Ling Feng turned on the projector and said: "My current plan is that Zhou Weiqi and I will lead separate teams to recover the machines and data above the F5 floor of the institute, and destroy other things that cannot be taken away on the spot, in case they come back again. Transfer the data to the institute."

He looked at Chu Yao again: "There is another matter that needs to be entrusted to you, but it's time for us to take a break and discuss it tomorrow."

Today is an ordinary day.

Professor Xia is busy checking the work report in his hand. He is about to retire and has to hand over many things to his subordinates.

"Professor, I sent it to you, did you receive it? Also, the task you mentioned..."

Professor Xia was stunned for a moment when he saw the young woman in front of him.

For some reason, he suddenly felt like he was in a different world, as if he hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Professor? Professor? Didn't you get a good rest?" the woman asked cautiously.

Professor Xia shook his head. Maybe he was too tired. He opened the mailbox skillfully and read the file she sent.

"Well, the direction is very accurate. It seems that you have made progress in the past few days. It's this format..."

The woman stuck out her tongue, and the professor began to be critical again. Every time he handed in something, he had to knock it down five, six, seven or eight times before he was satisfied.

In her opinion, it was just some minor flaws that could be corrected. Why should every document be so strict?

Realizing that she was absent-minded, Professor Xia immediately asked seriously: "Xiao Nan, are you listening to what I am saying?"

This student has been with me for nearly ten years, from college to work. Although he is occasionally careless, he is still relatively serious in doing things.

However, she is still a long way from being able to take over her position.

Thinking of this, Professor Xia had a headache.

Time makes people grow old, and if it weren't for the fact that his energy couldn't keep up with the high-intensity work, he would have wanted to stick to his position for the rest of his life.

Especially in recent years, his health has been getting worse year by year. In the past, he stayed up several late nights in a row and was still able to run to the scene in high spirits. Now he goes to bed later and feels weak the next day.

"Okay, you can go down and change what I said. By the way, about the photo shoot in two days..."

Professor Xia paused suddenly. He suddenly had a bad feeling, as if Gu Xiaonan would encounter some danger.

He still trusts his sixth sense. In their line of work, sometimes they have to rely on intuition.

"Ahem, forget it, you've been too busy with work recently, I'll let someone else go." Professor Xia said, about to arrange for another person.

Gu Xiaonan quickly assured: "I'm fine, professor, just believe me, I can definitely complete the work!"

"Really?" Professor Xia asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say two days ago that you were feeling unwell and wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

"I've had a good rest. You can see that my face is not bad. Besides...I have done a lot of preparation work. If you change someone temporarily, it will be difficult for others to adapt." Gu Xiaonan said.

Professor Xia is retiring soon, and she can't give this opportunity to others in vain!

"Okay, then go ahead and remember to come back early." Professor Xia said with a smile.

Suddenly, his vision went dark, and the scene around him completely changed.

He only felt as if he was in a dark corridor, and something seemed to be chasing him behind him. He ran forward with all his strength, not daring to relax at all.

Until he ran to the end of the corridor, he saw someone in front of him who seemed to be half hanging on the edge of the stairs.

Professor Xia leaned over and took a look. There was an endless abyss under the stairs!

And that shaky figure was none other than Gu Xiaonan!

Professor Xia had no time to think about where Gu Xiaonan and himself were. He quickly stretched out his hand and handed it to Gu Xiaonan.

"Xiao Nan, hurry up! Hold my hand!" he shouted anxiously.

Gu Xiaonan was obviously exhausted, and half of her body was outside the range of the stairs.

After hearing Professor Xia's words, Gu Xiaonan raised his head and showed a pale smile.

"I'm sorry, Professor, I... failed to live up to your expectations." She said slowly.

Professor Xia was stunned for a moment, then urged: "What are you talking about, Xiao Nan! Come up quickly, I will take you back!"

"It's too late...Professor." Gu Xiaonan panted, "I can't go back, forgive me..."

Since she couldn't control her mutation, she began to fall into a deep sleep, and when she woke up this time, she realized that she had reached her limit.

That's fine. She was too tired from living. She was always comparing herself to others and always wanted to strive for the best, but she forgot that she actually didn't have that ability.

Even without the impression of lifespan, monsters cannot go to the ground.

The female researcher didn't lie to her. There were indeed rays outside that could kill monsters instantly, which were ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun.

And the watch Yueyue gave her contained the same kind of thing.

It's not like she hasn't tried it before. When she left the underground for the first time, in order to test whether there were any deadly rays outside, Gu Xiaonan directly threw a monster's body out.

It was a scorching sun at that time, and the monster's body suddenly started to burn itself, which startled her.

Gu Xiaonan tried several times, but she had to be convinced that she could no longer leave the underground.

It may be a kind of luck to be able to see someone familiar to her before she died. At least she didn't leave silently.

Professor Xia's eyes widened. Gu Xiaonan took the initiative to let go of the hand holding the lever, and his body fell vertically.

"Xiao Nan!" he shouted, rushing to the stairs.

But all he saw was darkness, and the person he was worried about was nowhere to be seen.

……

In the hospital, Professor Xia was lying on the bed with a frown on his face. He looked as if he had aged several years.

Thanks to Ling Feng who sent him over in time, his life was saved. However, due to excessive blood loss, some troublesome sequelae may occur.

At this moment, his eyelids were trembling slightly, and he seemed to have spent a lot of effort to open his eyes.

The first thing Professor Xia did when he woke up was to turn his head and look around, as if he was looking for something.

"Where is Xiaonan...? Why, why isn't the child here..." he asked tremblingly.

Zhou Weiqi hurriedly handed over a glass of water and said, "Drink some water first and take a moment. We will tell you about her later."

If he didn't have that stubbornness, he wouldn't be Professor Xia.

He pursed his lips tightly, as if what Zhou Weiqi had handed him was poison, and stared at Zhou Weiqi with a pair of eyes that refused to admit defeat, as if to say that he would not drink the water unless Zhou Weiqi told him Gu Xiaonan's current situation.

"Let me tell you." Ling Feng sighed and sat beside Professor Xia's bed. "You promise me first that no matter what result you hear, you will control your emotions, okay?"

Professor Xia nodded and listened quietly.

"Half an hour after I brought you to the hospital, Gu Xiaonan passed away."
