Chapter 237 The Auction Begins
Bai Muran smiled bitterly: "We have seen the spirit fox many times, and we have a certain understanding of its habits and demeanor."
"As far as I know, that fox's ears would keep moving when it encountered danger. Look at this fox."
Everyone turned their attention to the fox in the cage, which was still staring with its big eyes and turning around.
Ye Xin understood it all at once!
"When a real fox is frightened, it moves its ears, and its whole body does not move. But this fox only moves its eyeballs, and when it is frightened, it will move around in the cage!"
Bai Muran nodded: "I remembered that someone used a dyed fox to cheat people out of money, so I wanted to give it a try, and the result was... hehe!"
Ye Xin and Liu Mingfei looked at each other, what should they do?
After working hard for most of the day, I ended up exchanging a fake one for a fake one!
Does the Advanced Base have a real fox spirit?
If this fox was just meant to lure someone in, they would have placed surveillance equipment in a difficult-to-see location.
In other words, their actions tonight have exposed their intentions, and perhaps even their whereabouts!
"There is another question," Bai Muran suddenly said, "The little white mouse does not recognize the real spirit fox. How can we tell whether the one at the auction tomorrow is a real spirit fox?"
"Are we still going to twirl the fox fur?"
Meng Jinghan suddenly said, "Big Cat! Big Cat knows the real fox spirit! Ye Xin, let Big Cat take a look."
Ye Xin carried Big Cat out of the space. Big Cat yawned and glanced at Ye Xin.
"Big Cat, come and see if this is the spirit fox?" Ye Xin didn't care about its attitude. It would be safer to listen to Big Cat's opinion. What if this really is the spirit fox?
When Big Cat heard this, his eyes widened immediately, he stared at the fox in front of him and turned around twice, making a "meow, meow..." sound from his mouth.
After a while, Big Cat shook his head at Ye Xin.
No need for Xuanxuan to translate, everyone can see that this is not a real fox spirit! It is really fake!
The little white mouse can't tell the difference, but the big cat can!
Ye Xin sat dejectedly on the chair: "Xuanxuan will bring Da Miao over tomorrow and let Da Miao confirm it on the spot. If it is fake, we will just watch the excitement. If it is real, we will take action."
Liu Mingfei agreed: "This is the only way."
"Bai Muran, take your men to guard the base and don't let anyone get into our nest! Damn it! This is actually a trap!"
Drones are still patrolling over the base, and nothing special seems to have happened so far.
However, the opponent now is a cutting-edge base, where elites from all industries gather. If they can make surveillance temporarily ineffective, let alone the elites of the cutting-edge base?
It's better to be cautious. Except for those who will be on a mission tomorrow, half of the management staff will not rest tonight. We will add more patrol officers and take turns to sleep tomorrow.
After Ye Xin arranged all this, she let everyone go back to rest and gather their energy for the tough battle tomorrow.
…
At this time, the cutting-edge base was in chaos.
Deputy Captain Zhang, who was returning to the base from the auction, was furious: "The auction is about to start tomorrow, where is the boss? Who can tell me where the boss is?"
"He brought a dozen people to attack the Hope Base. Hope Base is still fine now, but our boss is missing! A dozen brothers are missing! Who can tell me what is going on?"
Everyone in the room lowered their heads and dared not say a word.
The people above have already spoken. If they can't get funds, the supply of materials will drop significantly. There is also research funding. Which one does not require strong economic support?
Fortunately, the boss caught the fox. He thought the fox could become their cash cow, but he didn't expect the boss to disappear at the critical moment!
They had sent people to check Hope Base several times, and they were the only prisoner there.
They spent a large sum of money to buy that man back from the Hope Base, hoping to find the whereabouts of the boss through him. However, they did not expect that the prisoner said: the boss had run away with the others when he was captured.
"Fuck!"
Deputy Captain Zhang smashed another teacup. "He is already the boss of the Advanced Base. Where else can he run to? Where can he have a better advantage than the Advanced Base? Not even the A701 Base!"
Everyone knew that he was telling the truth, but it was also true that the boss couldn't be found.
A man wearing black-rimmed glasses spoke up, "It looks like we have to adjust tomorrow's procedures. Deputy Captain Zhang, tomorrow you can say that you caught the spirit fox. It's just a made-up story. It won't affect anything."
"But we can't use zombies as guards when the boss is not here. We need to strengthen our guard force. Zhao Ming, go get some people to go with Deputy Captain Zhang."
"And as for that fox, we must send more people to follow the car tomorrow. Nothing must happen to the fox. Today, the fake one was targeted."
Deputy Captain Zhang sat down on the chair and panted heavily: Others may not know, but he knows it very well. This is a big black pot! He doesn't want to bear the responsibility! If something really goes wrong, his uncle will tear him to pieces!
But at the critical moment, Liu Chang was gone! He had no place to vent his anger, so he could only smash a few cups.
No! We need to discuss this matter with our uncle in advance. Do you want him to take the blame? It's not that easy!
Deputy Captain Zhang stood up and ran out, completely ignoring the fact that it was already late at night.
…
The night at the Mid-Levels Base was unusually quiet.
Ye Xin did not dare to be careless, so he had to leave Li Yanwu at home to strengthen the guard. He took Bai Muran, Meng Jinghan and Xuanxuan to attend the auction together.
Meng Jinghan brought the cat Xuanxuan to a shop 200 meters away from the auction, and both big and small cats followed Xuanxuan.
Xuelang, Xiao Liu and another person stayed outside the auction to prepare for the response.
Ye Xin, Bai Muran, Liu Mingfei and Zhao Ying put on masks and entered the auction site.
It was still early for the auction to start, but the venue was already packed. Music was playing in the hall, drowning out the sound of people talking.
Ye Xin raised her wrist and pointed at Liu Mingfei, who then noticed that the signal had been blocked in this hall, and even the atomic watch could not be used.
They took off the atomic watches on their wrists tacitly. Ye Xin guarded the right rear, Bai Muran guarded the left rear, Liu Mingfei was five or six rows in front of Ye Xin, and Zhao Ying was on the same level as Liu Mingfei, guarding the left front.
With this arrangement, they can quickly take control of the situation once chaos breaks out.
There were emergency exits not far from Ye Xin and Liu Mingfei, so they could still escape if things got really bad.
Bai Muran, Liu Mingfei and Zhao Ying all made OK gestures to her. Ye Xin sat down with a smile and watched the music playing in a loop on the big screen in front of her.
For a moment, she seemed to have returned to the beginning of the end of the world.
However, what is about to begin here is not a movie, but an auction that concerns the fate of all mankind.
At ten o'clock, a man in a gray-brown suit walked onto the stage. The music stopped and the whole place suddenly fell silent. Hundreds of eyes were fixed on the man in front of them.
