Chapter 129 Underground Base Exploration
Zhou Yu's expression froze, not knowing how to answer.
Nan Mingcheng was not going to make his feelings clear to Chen Yijin yet, so he told Chen Yijin what was going on.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Seeing Zhou Yu's tangled facial features almost twisted together, Shen Yijin narrowed his eyes and asked suspiciously.
Zhou Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! How could we possibly hide something from you!"
Zhou Yu responded too quickly. The more he denied, the more it seemed like he was trying to hide something.
Nan Mingcheng sighed helplessly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He calmly helped Zhou Yu out of the embarrassment: "Zhou Yu also wants to learn fortune-telling. He plans to build a good relationship with you first, and then take the opportunity to steal your skills. When he learns all your skills, he will steal your business and open a live broadcast room for fortune-telling."
Shen Yijin pondered it for a moment, and found Nan Mingcheng's explanation barely made sense, so she didn't pursue it any further.
"Fortune-telling requires talent. You are not cut out for it. You should improve your skills in concealment." Shen Yijin looked at Zhou Yu for a few times and shook his head slightly.
Zhou Yu said awkwardly: "Is that so? Forget it then."
While Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he did not forget to curse Nan Mingcheng in his heart, saying that he had to say that he wanted to steal his skills instead of making a good excuse. Wasn't this ruining his reputation?
If he wants to be Nan Mingcheng's love strategist again in the future, he will be a dog!
The plane flew in the air for more than four hours and finally arrived at Northwest Airport.
Shen Yijin and the other two shuddered involuntarily when they got off the plane.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is not an exaggeration. Even though the three of them put on cotton jackets before getting off the plane, they were still freezing.
Zhou Yu rubbed his hands and asked, "Where should we go next?"
The desert was hot enough during the day to dry eggs in the sun, and they were short on time, so they had to use the night to travel.
"Let's go borrow a camel first, and then follow the map." As she spoke, Shen Yijin had already seen the camel farm staff who came to pick her up, and she took Zhou Yu and the other person over.
The farm staff were reluctant to go to work late at night. He handed the three camels to Shen Yijin, forced a smile, and promoted the farm project to them: "Do you need a tour guide? We also have professional desert tour guides in the farm, and we guarantee that you won't get lost in the desert."
Chen Yijin declined: "No, the tour guide is probably asleep at this time, so I won't let him work overtime."
The staff member turned around and left, cursing. Shen Yijin vaguely heard a few words, probably cursing them for entering the desert so late at night and their heads must be full of sand.
Shen Yijin shook her head helplessly.
She flipped over and mounted the camel, looking at the map and leading the way.
The desert at night is no easier to travel than during the day. Shen Yijin and Zhou Yu were so numb from dealing with desert insects that they had lost track of time.
The deeper you go into the desert, the worse the cell phone signal becomes.
Shen Yijin had long since given up using mobile phone navigation and relied on hexagrams to determine where to go.
The location of the organic ranch was relatively easy to find, and the three of them arrived at the ranch before noon.
"I'll go check out the situation, you guys wait here." Shen Yijin handed the reins to Zhou Yu, intending to find the entrance to the underground base by himself.
Nan Mingcheng saw Shen Yijin was about to leave, and hurriedly grabbed her: "It's too dangerous for you to go alone, let's go together."
Shen Yijin looked at Nan Mingcheng, then at the camel.
She didn't say anything, but everyone knew what she meant.
Zhou Yu sarcastically said, "Haha, Chen Yijin thinks you are holding him back! My good brother, you should have some self-awareness. You are as incapable of protecting yourself as a camel."
“You should just stay here with Luotuo. I’ll go with Shen Yijin!”
Zhou Yu walked up to Shen Yijin with his head held high, never thinking that he would be rejected by Shen Yijin.
Shen Yijin immediately distanced herself from Zhou Yu and said sternly, “No, you have to stay and protect him and Luotuo’s safety!”
Zhou Yu was stunned. He opened his mouth to try to argue for himself again, but then he heard Chen Yijin say again: "You insisted on bringing him here, so you have to be responsible for his personal safety. You also know how wealthy Mr. Nan is. He may not be able to afford the compensation even if he sells us both."
Nan Mingcheng's mouth twitched: "I'm not as fragile as you say...Also, we are all members of the same team now, can you please stop calling me by this unfamiliar name?"
Chen Yijin gave Nan Mingcheng a look that said "You really have no self-awareness" and ignored him.
She bypassed Zhou Yu, put an invisibility talisman on herself, walked into the organic ranch, and calculated the entrance to the underground experimental base.
Just as Shen Yijin guessed, traces of the remnants of the formation could be seen everywhere in the organic ranch.
It is easy to imagine that these formations were set up by Bei Lanshan in order to hide the entrance to the underground base.
Shen Yijin calmed down and cracked the formations one by one.
She did not completely break the formation, but only destroyed part of it. This would render the formation ineffective, making it easier for her to find the entrance, and also prevent Bei Lanshan from discovering that the formation was destroyed and rushing over to arrest people.
Chen Yijin quickly found the entrance to the underground base. She did not rush in. She took a look at the entrance and returned the same way to meet up with Nan Mingcheng.
Nan Mingcheng and Zhou Yu had been waiting anxiously for a long time. When they saw Shen Yijin coming back, they quickly surrounded her and said, "Why did you take so long? We thought something happened to you."
Shen Yijin shook her head: "No, I have found the entrance to the underground base. The process was too smooth, I always feel that there is something strange here."
But they have to try it to know if there is any problem. No matter it is a dragon's den or a tiger's den, they have to go in and take a look.
The three of them settled the camels and were all silent as they set out for the underground base.
Shen Yijin pushed open the door of the underground base. It was pitch black behind the door, and she couldn't see her hand in front of her face.
Zhou Yu had the best ability to hide and was also very sensitive to danger. He walked in front, tentatively moving forward step by step.
After the three people entered, the door of the underground base closed automatically.
Shen Yijin tried to open the door again, but found that it was closed and could not be opened from the inside.
"It seems that the exit and the entrance are not in the same place." Shen Yijin whispered, "We have no way out."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said, "We seem to have overlooked some steps. I feel that the road ahead is very dangerous, as if some mechanism has been activated."
Shen Yijin also realized it. She was more intuitive than Zhou Yu and clearly heard the sound of the mechanism being triggered.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.
Shen Yijin urged Zhou Yu to move forward while calculating: "It's okay, stop when you sense danger, I will calculate a safe path for you, and you just need to do as I say."
The underground base was covered by Bei Lanshan's spiritual consciousness. Shen Yijin tried her best to reduce the fluctuation of spiritual energy caused by divination, but in this way, the hexagrams she calculated were not accurate enough, and she could only calculate a relatively safe path.
What Zhou Yu needs to do is to find a way to allow an ordinary person like Nan Mingcheng to pass safely based on the route given by Shen Yijin.
Zhou Yu's palms were already soaked with cold sweat, and he had a premonition that if he took one more step forward he would trigger the mechanism.
