The base was in perfect order, with houses lining the streets. The morning sun shone on the ground, creating a sense of tranquility and peace. Vendors had already set up their stalls, displaying a wide variety of goods, attracting a crowd of people.

The magnificent buildings within the base towered into the sky, like the guardians of the city. At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a layer of red gauze on these buildings, making them look particularly beautiful.

People bustled through the streets, their faces filled with smiles of contentment and hope, as if filled with confidence for the future. Yet, within this seemingly peaceful base, hidden were many unknown stories and secrets. Every corner held a moving story, and every person had their own past and dreams.

As night fell, a light in the base gradually lit up, like a dazzling pearl, illuminating the entire city. In a corner of the city, there was an unremarkable little house, standing quietly there, in stark contrast to the surrounding bustle.

Inside the house, an elderly man sat quietly in a chair, his eyes deep and worried, as if he was pondering something important. Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door broke the night's silence. The old man slowly stood up, walked to the door, and gently opened it. Outside, a young figure appeared before him.

"Teacher, I'm here." said the young man.

The old man nodded and motioned him to come in. After the young man sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Teacher, when can we leave here?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The time is not yet ripe, we still need to wait."

The young man looked a little disappointed, but he nodded. He knew that the teacher's decision must have his reasons.

"Brore, are you still going to work tomorrow? We will go to draw tasks tomorrow. The four of us did well in the final exam. Combined with the last task, if we complete it well, our credits will definitely not be low." Ma Tuan was holding a big bag of mountain jujube flower slices, eating while looking at the report card.

"Don't look for Bai Di's name. He's up there. What's the point of looking from the bottom up?" Nan Song glanced at him and took the opportunity to pick a handful of mountain jujube flower petals from him.

"I won't go tomorrow. I want to go back with Sister Nan during the holidays. I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time. I want to go back and see them." Blore walked beside Bai Di, his tone was irrepressibly cheerful. In his hand were the letters sent by his grandparents, as well as a handful of something unknown, which were firmly packed in a box.

"Well, in that case, Blore, can I go on a trip to your place?" Ma Tuan said and immediately handed all the remaining mountain mud jujube flower slices to Blore.

"Sure, Bai Di, do you want to come with us? The scenery there is beautiful." Blore agreed immediately and gave Bai Di a handful of mountain jujube flower petals.

"Okay, if you want to go out and play, we can go somewhere else together in the last few days of a month. I can take you to Duzhu Kingdom." After Bai Di said this, he silently finished eating all the mountain mud jujube flower slices.

Ever since the last time several people came back safely and appeared on the plant floor, almost all of them were shocked by the scene at that time.

Inside the botanical building, shallow pools of water permeated the ground, forming a small lake. Snow-white, wriggling mycelium filled every corner, like a mysterious group of creatures thriving in this humid environment. Everywhere was a pristine white, as if the entire world were covered in snow. Even snowflakes drifted from the sky, adding to the chill and mysterious atmosphere.

In this white world, heavily attired guards stood everywhere. Clad in thick protective suits and transparent masks, they held weapons in their hands, vigilantly observing everything around them. These guards, like warriors from the future, exuded a cold and majestic aura.

Their presence makes the whole scene more tense and oppressive, as if danger could come at any moment. Their figures stand out against the white background, as if they are the guardians of this world.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, sending snowflakes cascading down. The guards' figures swayed in the wind, like a group of solitary dancers. Their gaze remained steadfast, guarding this mysterious botanical building and the secrets within.

Seeing eight people suddenly appear, they rushed over and pinned them to the ground, and immediately locked them up. Several people were put on hoods before they even had a chance to speak, and were picked up like chickens.

In the end, it was only thanks to the comprehensive testing at the academy base that proved the eight people had not been alienated and the mediation of an unknown force among the four people in Group A that the eight people were barely released on bail.

The college asked them to keep this matter highly confidential, so it could not be included in their final examinations. However, each person would be given a "hush money" and then verbally praised in private.

Except for Blore and Green-Eared, who seemed to be indifferent to everything, the rest of the people were actually not very satisfied. After all, they were all rich, and the hush money was not enough to buy a meal.

But the matter has been sealed and stored in a top-secret safe. After all, since they came out, they have been questioned several times in turn but have not found the entrance. The people inside don’t know how they got out, but the people outside have no way to get in.

So after giving them a few days of vacation to rest, they have to get back to their studies. After all, the exam cannot only test what they have learned, they will also be tested on the lessons they have missed during that period.
