The following evening.

The three of them set off on their search into the darkness of night.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, Gong Yixue clearly felt the temperature drop sharply.

The surrounding area was flat, so the cold wind was even more unrestrained, as if it could blow into your bones.

She and Ye Mohan usually drink water from the Spirit Lake. Although it feels extremely cold, they can still bear it.

Gong Yixue was a little worried and turned to look at Ye Yunhen.

Seeing that he remained calm and did not seem to be overwhelmed, I felt much more at ease.

It's probably because he's been here for decades and has experienced extreme weather, so he's naturally developed a tolerance for it.

Gong Yixue produced two pills out of thin air and gave one to Ye Mohan and his son. "These are medicines that can protect the body and internal organs. After taking them, we will begin our operation."

Ye Mohan and his son accepted the food without suspicion and ate it.

During this time, Ye Yunhen had become immune to his daughter-in-law, who seemed to possess superpowers.

That's why Ye Yunhen believed everything she said 100%.

Although Xuefeng Mountain is 3,000 meters above sea level, the path to the top is relatively flat and there are no particularly extreme terrains, so climbing it is much less time-consuming and strenuous.

In addition, the group's physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, so they managed to shorten the journey, which originally took six or seven hours, to three and a half hours.

Gong Yixue was the first to reach the top of the mountain and saw a house with a panoramic viewing platform sitting on a man-made flat ground not far away.

From the outside, the building didn't look special at all. But she had done her research before coming, and the two or three floors that were visible were just the tip of the iceberg; the real core research institute was probably underground.

Before long, Ye Mohan followed Ye Yunhen up the stairs.

Normally, Ye Mohan's stamina would not have kept him behind Gong Yixue for so long, but Ye Yunhen's physical fitness was not as good as theirs, so he was slower.

To take care of him, Ye Mohan silently followed behind him.

Upon hearing the noise, Gong Yixue knew that they had come up.

Ye Mohan and Ye Yunhen stood side by side beside Gong Yixue.

Ye Yunhen looked at the research institute in front of him, feeling very nervous.

He was both excited and nervous throughout the journey.

I'm also worried about what will happen if Ge'er isn't here.

He was even more worried about what would happen to him for the rest of his life if Ge'er were gone.

The more he thought about it, the closer he got to the truth, the less calm he became.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone, otherwise he really wouldn't know what to do.

Gong Yixue said, "Let's rest here for a while, recharge our energy, and then set off again."

The other two had no objection and nodded.

Gong Yixue took out some fruits grown in her space, some water from the spirit lake, and some food she had prepared beforehand.

Ye Yunhen ate the room-temperature fruit and drank the water, slightly surprised.

You should know that all the water and food in his bag were frozen solid and he couldn't eat them at all.

I never expected the food here at Gong Yixue's place to be so good.

However, he didn't ask any more questions. The group quickly finished their food and then headed towards the laboratory.

Before coming, Gong Yixue had discussed it with Ye Mohan.

There isn't much information about the research institute online, especially regarding its core research content.

To find out these things, you can only go to the institute's archives.

Their purpose in coming here was to find it.

Gong Yixue glanced at the most advanced password door on the door. This was the 'eye password' developed in recent years, which identifies the pupils of the registered personnel.

To be more precise, it's about recognizing the retina and iris within the pupil.

Everyone's iris is different, which is another new discovery after fingerprints.

However, for Gong Yixue, part-time work was child's play.

Having spent many years by Conrad's side, Ye Yunhen naturally knew about the rapid development of technology today.

He also recognized the lock; it was a state-of-the-art combination lock, using the user's fingerprint and iris scan as the password, both of which were indispensable.

His brows furrowed deeply immediately.

Just as he was about to speak to Gong Yixue, he saw the previously locked door slowly opening automatically.

Ye Yunhen's mouth dropped open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"It's open already?"

Ye Mohan, however, was already used to it.

He has always been amazed by his multitalented wife.

He wasn't surprised by anything that happened to her. But seeing his father like this made him even more proud.

That seemed to say, "Look, this is his wife, isn't she amazing?"

Gong Yixue put away the microcomputer and tools, looked at Ye Yunhen and said, "Yes, it's on."

"Let's go, Dad, let's go inside first."

It's never safe enough to be at the entrance; who knows if there will be patrols?

Ye Yunhen knew this wasn't a good place to talk, so he nodded, and the group slipped into the archives.

The doorway was as if no one had ever been there.

Even the patrolling officers didn't notice anything unusual.

Not to mention the monitoring room.

Gong Yixue had already dealt with the surveillance footage before it was even brought in.

She will never be discovered unless someone with better skills appears.

-

In the archives.

Gong Yixue sat in front of the computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard in a dazzling display.

Her eyes remained fixed on the computer screen.

They skimmed through the text, afraid of missing any useful clues.

Ye Mohan and Ye Yunhen stayed by his side and watched.

Before they came in, they had planned that they would manually search for information, while Gong Yixue would find a way to hack into the research institute's intranet.

But once inside, I found that this archive room was truly impressive; rows of bookshelves stretched as far as the eye could see, just like a library.

That's probably why the archives are equipped with computers.

There were only two of them, so they were sure they could find it even after searching for a long time. Gong Yixue told them to wait.

Since there are computers here, all the information should have been entered.

However, the workload was enormous, and seeing that it was almost dawn, Gong Yixue copied all the data and then led the others into the space.

Ye Mohan, on the other hand, remained calm.

He had come to this space countless times over the years and had long since become accustomed to it.

Ye Yunhen was stunned when he saw the surrounding scenery change drastically in an instant.

It took me a long time to react.

Upon entering the space, Gong Yixue wanted to check on Xiaomeng, so she turned to Ye Mohan and said, "You explain to Dad that I'm going to check on Xiaomeng."

Because of what happened before, Xiaomeng has not woken up yet.

Ye Mohan knew that Gong Yixue was worried about Xiaomeng, so he nodded to her.

Seeing this, Gong Yixue turned around and went into the room in the courtyard.

Upon arriving at Xiaomeng's room, Gong Yixue saw Xiaomeng still unconscious, and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
