Almost at the same time, the old Taoist priest's voice sounded in his ears.

"Cover your mouth and nose, it's smoke."

Hearing the old Taoist's words, Nan Ci subconsciously held his breath, took out a mask from the space, wet it with water, and distributed it to everyone around him.

Because of the dim light and the smoke all around him, Sun Hao was scared and nervous. He didn't notice Nan Ci's actions at all. He just subconsciously took the mask Nan Ci handed over and quickly put it on his face.

With the wet mask to isolate the smoke, it cannot enter the nasal cavity directly, so it does not have much impact.

The visitor did not expect that Nan Ci and his companions would react so quickly.

But soon, they took other actions.

A group of masked people rushed up, holding sticks, sacks and other items in their hands.

As soon as he came over, he started to attack Nan Ci and the others, as if he wanted to pack them up and take them away.

After seeing this scene, there was nothing Nan Ci didn't understand.

These must be the people from the research institute coming out to arrest people.

I had only heard about it before, but I didn't expect to encounter it in person now.

Although he was a little surprised, Nan Ci had no plans to go to the research institute to take a look.

So when these people rushed up, they took out their guns directly.

When dealing with people, especially at such a close distance, using thermal weapons can always resolve the situation faster.

Because the guns were equipped with silencers, these people did not realize something was wrong until several of them fell to the ground.

But it was too late for them to retreat now.

Nan Ci didn't give them any chance to leave and kept them all.

There were 12 people in total, all fell to the ground, without a sound.

Seeing that the crisis was finally resolved, Sun Hao's body suddenly collapsed and he knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.

"I...I just said it's dangerous at night. I will never come out at night again."

Sun Hao murmured these words, his face full of fear and relief.

It was normal to have such a reaction after surviving a disaster. Nan Ci just glanced at Sun Hao indifferently without any disgust.

Zhou Ziyang had a guilty look on his face, "I'm sorry, it's because of me that you have to accompany me around the base late at night.

If it weren’t for this, you wouldn’t be experiencing these things…”

Mu Qianqian looked at Zhou Ziyang reproachfully, "Ziyang, what are you talking about? Do we still need to talk about this?"

Nan Ci nodded in agreement, "There's really no need to talk about this between us."

They have been friends for life and death for a long time, so naturally they don't need to care about these things.

The old Taoist patted Zhou Ziyang on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has been dealt with. Now you should hurry in and find your family. This will be worth it."

Hearing the three of them say this, Zhou Ziyang's expression became firm and he nodded vigorously, "You are right, let's go now."

Although the wall in front of us is also very high, there is no electric fence on it.

As long as there is no power grid, such a wall will not be able to stop them.

Although Sun Hao’s hand is not as good as theirs, he has the little turtle!

After the little turtle grew bigger, it let Sun Hao stand on its back and directly sent Sun Hao to the top of the wall.

The group entered the factory smoothly, only to find that the lights were on and various sounds were coming from the factory.

Zhou Ziyang was the most familiar with these. He explained softly, "The workers are working overtime to weave cloth and make clothes."

Sun Hao was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Then what should we do?

You can't just rush in in front of these people, right?"

"Of course we can't just rush in, but I think they should have locked my family in a basement or something like that and wouldn't let them stay outside. So they shouldn't be inside the factory.

Let's look around the yard first to see if there's any entrance to the basement."

There is no other solution at the moment, so Zhou Ziyang's proposal is feasible.

Several people tried to walk as lightly as possible and did not dare to turn on the flashlights, for fear of attracting the attention of people in the factory.

Fortunately, they were lucky. After searching for more than ten minutes, they actually found the entrance to a basement in an abandoned warehouse.

The entrance was locked with a big lock, but this did not pose a problem for them, so they simply removed it with violence.

After opening the big iron gate, Zhou Ziyang couldn't wait to go downstairs.

Mu Qianqian was worried about Zhou Ziyang, so she hurriedly followed him down.

Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest walked down one after another.

In almost an instant, Sun Hao was the only one left outside.

The whole area was pitch black, which made Sun Hao unable to stop being scared. He hurriedly followed, "Wait for me."

The stairs leading to the underground were not long, and Nan Ci quickly reached there.

Before Nan Ci could see clearly what was happening in the basement, he had already heard Zhou Ziyang's excited voice.

"Dad, Mom, uncle, second uncle, third uncle, eldest aunt, youngest aunt, third aunt, fourth aunt, it's me, Zi Yang, I'm here to save you."

Hearing Zhou Ziyang's series of words, Nan Ci's mouth twitched subconsciously.

Zhou Ziyang only said that he had a lot of family members, but he didn't say there were so many!

There are so many elders alone, and if you add Zhou Ziyang’s cousins, how many people would there be!

Thinking this in his mind, Nan Ci also looked in the direction of the voice.

It seemed that Nan Ci really heard it.

The space in the basement is very large and is brightly lit at this time.

There were many machines placed in the center. The people standing next to the machines turned around and looked at Zhou Ziyang in surprise.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a moment, a middle-aged woman walked up to Zhou Ziyang, raised her hand excitedly, and touched Mu Qianqian's face.

"It really is you, Ziyang. Mom thought she would never see you again!"

Zhou Ziyang was very excited and hugged the woman directly in his arms, "Mom, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you, and we will never be separated again."

"What do you mean save me? I'm fine, I don't need you to save me!"

Zhou Ziyang stiffened when he heard this, and slowly let go of her, "Mom, aren't you imprisoned here?"

“We are not…”

Nan Ci, "???"

Not only Nan Ci had a face full of question marks, but Zhou Ziyang did too.

Zhou Ziyang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then repeated what the fake young master had said before.

After hearing what Zhou Ziyang said, everyone, including the woman, looked angry.

“They told us before that the situation at the base was too complicated and the struggle between the three forces was very intense. People like us with skills could easily become victims of the struggle.

They suggested that we live in the basement and concentrate on research, and leave the rest to them. I thought they were kind-hearted, but I didn’t expect that this was their idea! ”
