Chapter 731: Underground Research Base
In a seemingly ordinary overseas farm, the owner was cleaning up the place when he heard the sound of approaching engines. The farm owner immediately became alert.
A car entered the farm, and several people in black clobber got out. They looked around and found nothing amiss, so they tapped on the car door, signaling for the people inside to get out.
Gu Fan and Lin Xi got out of the car. Led by the people in black, they walked into the farm’s storage warehouse, and the farm owner showed no intention of stopping them.
The farm was just a cover to conceal the underground scientific research base, and the storage warehouse was one of its entrances. Gu Fan and Lin Xi were now in an elevator heading down to this research base.
As they stood in the elevator, the oppressive feeling of the descent made Gu Fan and Lin Xi hold hands, strengthening each other’s resolve to face whatever came next, together.
When the elevator doors opened, the three scientists they had encountered in the Triangle Sea Area greeted them in the hall. They all seemed very expectant.
One of the scientists was the first to speak: "We hope what you told us over the phone was the truth."
Gu Fan nodded: "I assure you we’ve been honest. But you must also promise that you haven’t lied to us."
"Of course, after we got the information from that island, we finished constructing the space-time door. We’re only missing the energy key now." Once they finished saying this, all the scientists turned to stare at Lin Xi. Their instincts hinted the key was in her possession.
