Chapter 65
Not only has someone betrayed her teacher, but Mi Xing is also in danger.
During her brief contact with Mi Xing after the apocalypse, she deduced that Mi Xing was probably in a bad environment. The retrospective chip left to her by her teacher made her certain that Mi Xing must have been in danger.
She couldn't help but look at Lin Bai again.
Then her sight was blocked by Bai Chuan, who stared at her and said, "Why do you always look at my Ah Bai?"
It's really not Baichuan's fault for misunderstanding. Elena said someone betrayed her teacher one second, and then she stared at Lin Bai the next second.
Elena looked away and said, "It's nothing. The teacher was betrayed, and Aurora's people appeared here. Maybe Aurora is planning something. We need to go out and investigate quickly."
Tang Mali couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "With Aurora's current influence, even if you investigate thoroughly, you may not be able to do anything to them."
Elena didn't show any sign of retreat when she heard this; she didn't even frown. She just spoke calmly, "My teacher once taught me a saying from an ancient book: 'Do good deeds, and don't worry about the future.' I think it's true. No matter what the outcome, I just want to do everything with a clear conscience."
Tang Mary, who wasn't well-educated, didn't quite understand what that meant, but she understood Elena's choice and said indifferently, "She's truly a fair judge from the Federation. It would be best if that Aurora really did do something bad. I'm really annoyed by their weird behavior all the time!"
Bai Chuan said coldly, "You're thinking too far ahead. We may not be able to get out right now."
This is the truth. They have been in the laboratory for nearly eight hours, but the mutant zombies outside have shown no intention of leaving.
And through the dim glass windows, you can see rotten limbs swaying in the corridor outside.
Elena put away the backtracking chip and was about to pick up the map book again to study the way out when her eyes fell on the envelope beside her leg.
Envelopes are rarely used in the Federation anymore. Her teacher studies some ancient star culture, and occasionally sees her using envelopes to write some essays and put them in books. Now, knowing that there are zombies in the apocalypse, she still uses envelopes to enclose the traceback chip.
Elena trusts her intuition very much. Since she joined the law enforcement department, her intuition has helped her solve countless cases. Now, her intuition tells her that the envelope used by the teacher to put the chip must have a deep meaning in it.
As she thought about it, she picked up the light envelope.
Apart from the yellowed paper, it didn't look like anything special.
You can tell at a glance that the envelope interface is glued together because there is a trace of glue overflowing from the edge.
I took the envelope in my hand and looked at it carefully according to my intuition. Something was wrong. Given the teacher's rigorous and careful habits, it was impossible for glue to overflow the edge.
Elena took off her oxygen mask, placed the envelope under her nose and sniffed it. In the odor-filled laboratory, she could smell a faint scent of white fir wood emanating from the envelope. It was very faint, but Elena, who was familiar with this scent, could smell it immediately. It was the scent of her teacher's pheromones.
This further proves that there is another secret behind this envelope.
There were zombies wandering around outside the laboratory and the environment inside was oxygen-deficient, but Elena's heart seemed to calm down all of a sudden.
"Lin Bai." Elena heard herself calling out this name.
Hearing the voice, Lin Bai looked up at Elena, and an envelope was handed to him. "Look at this envelope, can you see anything?" Elena looked at Lin Bai and said.
When the envelope was handed to him, Lin Bai paused for a second and reached out to take it.
Baichuan and Lou Tiannan also turned their heads to look together.
The envelope was only this big, and a few seconds was enough to flip it through. Lin Bai saw a trace of glue overflowing from the edge of the envelope, and she also knew what Elena meant by handing the envelope to her.
Since Elena had already confirmed her identity and even handed her an envelope to ask her, Lin Bai no longer wasted time pretending to be stupid and said directly: "There are traces of glue on the envelope. I need to tear it open and take a look."
"Yeah." Elena nodded, looking at Lin Bai's face.
Seeing that Elena had no intention of taking action, Lin Bai pulled a piece of board to cushion the wound. Tang Mary had originally handed over a thin piece of iron sheet, but later found that the glue was very loose and could be easily torn apart with a gentle touch.
The laboratory was very quiet. Lin Bai sat on the ground and quietly bent over to open the envelope.
From Lou Tiannan's angle, he could only see the back of her head. Occasionally, her long hair fell down and was casually tucked behind her ear by Lin Bai. The movements of her fingers were light and gentle, and she treated the envelope very seriously and with great importance.
When Elena saw Lin Bai really taking action, a hint of emotion appeared on her face. There were thousands of questions in her mind, but they were all suppressed by Elena. Now was not the right time, and there would be a chance to ask her.
Baichuan looked at Lin Bai's movements, with a hint of realization in his eyes, because Lin Bai's movements gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. A long time ago, his boss was like this when he was drawing at his desk. It turned out that this person was worthy of being a bionic man made by his boss. He really looked like his boss.
Under everyone's gaze, Lin Bai tore the envelope into a complete rectangular piece of paper, both sides of which were blank.
At this point, Lou Tiannan and others certainly would not think that this piece of paper was just an ordinary envelope paper.
After trying high temperature, low temperature and water immersion methods, the paper did not show any information. Just when she was at a loss, Elena remembered something and hurriedly found an experimental lamp in the laboratory.
As soon as the light was turned on, the words on the paper immediately appeared.
After carefully reading the words on the envelope, they all saw hope in each other's eyes.
Because of what Xiao Hehua said in the envelope, she guessed that the journey would be dangerous, so just in case, she hid powerful explosives under the floor tiles of the laboratory and office. She also marked the windows of the office in advance and placed the explosives in appropriate places. The powerful explosives could blow open the special windows and find a way for them to escape.
They saw the mark mentioned in Xiao Hehua's envelope in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office through the one-way window of the laboratory. According to the location indicated by the envelope, they also found the explosive synthetic agent in the floor tiles under the laboratory storage cabinet.
Tang Mary said, "Your dean is really amazing. He was able to predict the future and hide a large dose of explosive compound in the laboratory."
"The teacher has always been great." Elena never looked down on her teacher.
The potion is ready and the mark has been found. The next question is how to install the potion at the marked location under the siege of those mutant zombies.
Powerful explosives are no joke. If they make a mistake, they will be buried here.
"I'll go out and lure them away, and you guys set the explosives." Lin Bai offered some ideas.
"No!" the four people said in unison.
"Lin Bai, how can you go? I'll go!" said Tang Mary.
Lin Bai didn't respond, but went to see Bai Chuan first. Bai Chuan looked at Lin Bai's emotionless face and remembered that her original body was not human, but a android. If she went, it would seem safer and more reliable. So Bai Chuan hesitated and said, "Lin Bai...it's not...no."
Then, he was quickly condemned by the eyes of Lou Tiannan, Elena and Tang Mary.
"I'll go." Lou Tiannan said.
"Can you go?" Lin Bai asked him back.
Lou Tiannan was shocked by Lin Bai's question. He suddenly realized his mission. He could not go because he had a more important responsibility - to bring the original blood vaccine back to the Federation.
Seeing Lou Tiannan silent, Lin Bai ignored Tang Mary and went to see Elena, “Elena, it’s most appropriate for me to go, you know.”
——"Elena, look what I brought you today? You know!"
Elena did know that from the time she received the electronic reminder in the border prison, to when Lin Bai was able to revive after losing his breath for eight hours, to when she saw that Lin Bai was able to remember the 314-bit checksum, and finally when Lin Bai was able to see that the envelope left by Teacher Xiao Hehua was abnormal, all these times were telling Elena, you know, you have already guessed it.
Lin Bai is Mi Xing, and Mi Xing is now... not a human.
In the current situation, it is most appropriate to let Lin Bai attract the attention of the zombies.
After listening to Lin Bai's words, Elena's reason told her that Lin Bai was right, but her emotion told her that she didn't want Mi Xing to take risks, so she chose to keep silent.
Tang Mary looked at Bai Chuan, then at Elena, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about! Lin Bai, you are not allowed to go! It's too dangerous!"
"Someone has to go, and it's safest for me to go. Don't forget, I also have special abilities." Lin Bai said calmly, "I will be back after I hear the explosion."
Lin Bai easily persuaded the three people, and Tang Mary finally agreed reluctantly.
After making a plan, Lou Tiannan said, "I'll wait for you to come back."
"No need. If the window blows up, just leave quickly." Lin Bai was not too worried about herself. She was a bionic person. As long as she blocked the breath setting on her body, the zombies would not sense her presence.
"I will wait for you until the last second." Lou Tiannan was very stubborn.
Tang Mali was particularly fond of Lou Tiannan at the moment, "Lin Bai, just let Captain Lou come to help you. He has fire-type abilities and can hold on for a while."
Lin Bai knew that Lou Tiannan was a man of his word and a selfless character, so he could only respond, "Okay."
She found two medicine bottles in the laboratory, pulled Bai Chuan and said, "Draw some blood for me, I can use it to divert attention later."
Baichuan generously let Lin Bai draw a tube of blood, and Tang Mary also volunteered a tube.
Lin Bai stuffed the potion bottle into his pocket and said, "You guys step back, I'm leaving."
After she finished speaking, she opened the door of the laboratory at lightning speed. The flow of air caused the mutant zombies stranded in the office to react immediately. Lin Bai closed the door tightly and ran past the mutant zombies like a gust of wind. The mutant zombies who smelled the scent of living human blood chased after Lin Bai madly.
The office was suddenly empty. The four people did not dare to waste time. They rushed to mix the explosives and placed them in the marked positions, then ran back to the laboratory to wait for the agents to react and explode.
Xiao Hehua said on the envelope that after the chemicals were mixed, they would explode within thirty seconds.
The four of them counted the seconds silently, their eyes all looking outside the office. In an invisible place, there was someone who made them all worried.
They just hope that the explosion will come faster and faster!
