The sound of vehicles moving from far to near finally stopped on the path of whirling mulberry trees outside the courtyard gate.
Then someone opened the door.
The sky outside the window was already covered with a deep blue color that is about to break at dawn. Yan Luyi was not asleep yet, so he turned over and saw warm yellow light coming through the crack in the door. It was from the corridor.
The overhead light is turned on.
Then came the sound of gentle footsteps. Judging from the direction, it should be Yan Yue walking out.
Yan Luyi was a little worried, so he jumped out of bed and pushed the door open to follow him, asking: "Who is he?"
Feng Jiiling's voice came up from downstairs: "It's me."
Yan Luyi immediately asked: "Sister Ling, have you and the people from the Security Department found that pit? The pit that is covered with mutated plants and has many particularly disgusting big balls?"
Feng Jiling snorted: "It's quite disgusting. That's why I didn't go down."
Yan Luyi said: "There's going to be big news now!"
Feng Jiling said: "Yes."
Yan Luyi looked at her, waiting for her to tell her how everyone in the Security Department would react when they saw a pit in a different space beyond their existing cognitive range. Unexpectedly, Feng Jiiling did not say anything. Her expression was usually indifferent and plain.
When he reached the top of the stairs, he took out a small round electronic component and handed it to Yan Yue, saying, "I recorded the entire situation inside the cave."
Yan Yue asked: "Where is that person?"
Feng Jiiling shook his head: "I couldn't find it."
Yan Yue said: "Not in the pit either?"
Feng Jiling said: "No."
Yan Yue asked: "Have any mutants been found?"
Feng Jiling said: "Yes. I have also considered the possibility you pointed out. I have compared the corpses one by one, both in terms of individual characteristics and the remaining cloth on the body."
Yan Luyi heard this with confusion: "What are you talking about?"
Feng Jiling said: "I think you should still remember that semi-foreigner with clear consciousness."
She turned around and walked to her room: "I feel a little sick, I'm going to take a shower. If anything happens, call me anytime."
Yan Yue hummed: "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go to bed early."
Feng Jiling left. Yan Luyi stared at her blankly. Although he knew that she was always calm, he still felt that this reaction was too bland. So he said: "Sister Ling, you didn't realize the trap and the trap you created."
Is the isolation space like that in some ways?"
Feng Jiling said: "No."
Yan Luyi shouted: "Isn't it possible?"
Feng Jiling said: "Maybe you made a mistake somewhere?"
Yan Luyi turned to Yan Yue: "I want to watch the video."
Yan Yue agreed readily: "Okay, it just so happens that I don't dare to watch it alone."
The two walked into his bedroom. Yan Yue placed the electronic component in the wireless sensing area embedded in the corner of the workbench, and then called up the matching interface on the computer screen. Yan Luyi dragged a leisure chair from in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat on it.
next to him.
The screen started to play. It was the scene of Feng Jiiling following the combat team of the Security Agency into the cave.
The combatants held flamethrowers and kept waving them, burning the black sticky wadding hanging on the cave walls into charcoal particles, which fell straight down.
The background sound was a bit messy, and from time to time someone was shouting, indicating that he had discovered something. The picture followed quickly. However, all he saw were the corpses of mutants and the wreckage of several drones.
In this video, everyone had just entered the cave and could see nothing strange at all. Yan Yue opened the secondary screen, brought up the design drawing of the artificial cave, moved the cursor to mark a few points, and said: "This is Jiang You being surrounded by plants."
Drag them away to the place where they were before. The place where Sun Hua and Yu Nian were attacked."
His mouse pointer finally stopped in a small hall where forked roads met, and he said: "This is where you temporarily hid with Aling's space barrier. Then you followed Jiang You separately, in which direction did you pursue him?"
Yan Luyi took a stylus, and while thinking about it, he marked the route he followed Jiang You, and said: "Finally, I found a particularly narrow passage here... Wait, this passage
It doesn’t even exist on the blueprints!”
Her eyes flicked to the main screen where the video was playing: "Does it exist in reality?"
Yan Yue clicked on fast forward.
Feng Jiiling followed the team from the Security Department all the way inside. Soon he passed the hall and entered the fork in the road.
After all, the cave is artificially built, which is very different from a natural cave. Due to the limited area, the branch roads extend not far apart, and they quickly came together again.
The advancing route of the Security Bureau finally coincided with Yan Luyi's tracking route. Yan Luyi stood up and stared nervously, grabbing the mouse several times to pause the playback.
Until she was sure that the forked road she rushed in at that time had indeed turned into an artificial mountain wall that was baked by the flames and charcoal particles fell off layer by layer.
Yan Luyi stared at the screen in shock, palpitating because of fear.
Yan Yue said: "A human-controlled space channel. It is opened at that time and closed at this time. This way, the secrets of the space will not be exposed to the public."
Yan Luyi: "This shows that it is indeed a trap. They want to lead us into that space."
Yan Yue sighed.
Yan Luyi quickly apologized: "I was wrong!"
Yan Yue tapped on the keyboard to let the video screen continue to play.
A group of people from the Security Department continued to walk deeper into the cave. Suddenly, several people in front shouted loudly to remind everyone to be careful, and then a series of gunshots rang out.
The voice of the Security Bureau team leader who had spoken to Yan Luyi: "Burn! Burn! It's useless to shoot!"
Several combatants rushed over. A cold fire burned deep in the cave.
The screen was quickly blocked by waving arms: "Xiao Feng, be careful, stay back a little!"
Wind Mailing had no choice but to retreat.
She couldn't capture anything, but just listening to the sound in the picture was enough for Yan Luyi to deduce: "If shooting doesn't work, it should be plant vines, not mutants. These plants come from another space. Could it be that
Is the space channel opened again in front?"
Yan Yue was noncommittal.
The two stared at the video screen.
The vines of the mutated plant were wrapped in translucent blue flames, turning around the passage and pressing outward. Everyone in the Security Department screamed in surprise and retreated, but the fire from the injectors in their hands was still raging.
The bright blue enchanting flames and the pitch-black surging vines clashed and collided, the two facing each other in a stalemate.
The flying ash in the air was scattered and scattered, rolling and unable to fall.
This burning lasted for several minutes. Yan Yue dragged the progress bar several times and finally saw that the vines' outward surge was gradually weakening. It was not known whether the length of the vines was burned out, and everyone in the Security Department was finally able to suppress it.
With three cone-shaped flames opening a path ahead, the combat team advanced inwards, passed two corners, and came to a huge cave.
Several surprised voices sounded one after another: "What is that!"
The sparkling black water surface rippled from time to time, and thick plant vines, like giant nocturnal anacondas, rolled and swam in the swamp.
