"Among all the people here, you are the only one who has just entered that place. Although there seems to be nothing wrong with you right now, we cannot completely rule out the possibility that you may be carrying the virus."
"So we'll need you to come with us to the hospital later for a comprehensive physical examination."
Faced with Commander Wu's words, which were full of concern and responsibility, Shen Xiaochuan nodded without hesitation to show his understanding and responded firmly.
"Don't worry, Commander Wu, this is what I should do. I will fully cooperate with all subsequent work arrangements."
Just as they were talking, they soon saw a group of people rushing towards them from a distance.
These people, dressed in full protective suits and carrying various testing equipment and tools, were clearly the expert team members that Commander Wu had previously notified.
Shen Xiaochuan was also taken to a separate car.
Sitting in the car, Shen Xiaochuan stared intently at the group of figures in white protective suits hurrying by outside the window, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
Time passed by, and each moment seemed exceptionally long.
About half an hour later, suddenly, a figure rushed out of the cave.
The man sprinted towards Commander Wu and Commander Xiao, who were standing not far away. After stopping, panting heavily, he quickly removed the heavy protective mask from his face, revealing a face covered in sweat and anxiety.
"Reporting to the two commanders! Preliminary tests have not yet detected any dangerous biological or chemical substances. However..."
The staff member paused briefly, took a deep breath, and continued, "We found a large number of complex devices inside the cave, which seem to be researching some kind of special energy source."
"Unfortunately, most of the relevant information is missing, and the remaining information is mostly damaged and unreadable. Only some mysterious symbols that are completely incomprehensible have been found."
After hearing these words, Commander Xiao and Commander Wu exchanged a glance, both revealing a solemn expression in their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the two of them turned their gazes to the car parked to the side, or more precisely, to Shen Xiaochuan, who was sitting inside the car.
Shen Xiaochuan felt two sharp gazes fall on him, and his heart tightened involuntarily.
After a brief hesitation, he pushed open the car door, slowly stepped out, and walked with firm steps toward the two commanders.
"Comrade Shen Xiaochuan, can you be 100% certain that you didn't touch anything like an agency at the time?"
Commander Xiao asked with a serious expression, his sharp eyes fixed on Shen Xiaochuan, as if trying to see through his eyes to understand everything.
Shen Xiaochuan shook his head vigorously and replied firmly, "Commander Xiao, I swear! I was extremely careful and absolutely did not encounter anything unusual."
However, just as the two were talking, a very slight vibration suddenly came from the previously silent cave.
Although the sound wasn't loud, it was exceptionally clear in the enclosed and quiet environment, instantly alerting everyone present.
Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" suddenly rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone's ears ring.
At the same time, a powerful shockwave erupted from inside the cave, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Oh no! Someone must be injured! We need to go in and rescue them!"
Commander Xiao made a decisive decision and issued the order without hesitation.
He quickly directed his men to take action.
Soon, a dozen well-trained and agile soldiers rushed into the cave like arrows released from a bow.
However, the mountain itself was extremely narrow, and the sudden explosion had caused a large number of rocks to fall down, completely blocking the already narrow passage and making the space available for passage even smaller.
Nevertheless, these brave and fearless soldiers did not back down, and they struggled forward through the pile of rocks.
Every step they took required tremendous effort and sweat, while the constantly falling rocks above them posed a constant threat to their lives.
After more than an hour of arduous effort, a dozen soldiers finally reached the deepest part of the cave.
One of the soldiers who was the first to see the situation inside the cave reported the situation to Commander Xiao, who had come in with him.
"Reporting, Commander! We've found something very strange inside. It looks like some kind of energy, and it's still faintly glowing."
Just now, after investigation and analysis, experts have preliminarily determined that the explosion was most likely caused by the protective mechanism triggered by that mysterious object.
Although the situation has stabilized for the time being, no one can be sure whether this protection mechanism will be activated again.
Commander Xiao stood there, his brows furrowed in deep thought.
After a long while, he decisively gave the order: "Treat the wounded first. After you get the wounded out, be sure to carefully bring that device out for me!"
Upon receiving the order, the soldiers immediately sprang into action, taking steady and cautious steps into the dark and deep cave.
Time ticked by, and everyone's hearts were in their throats. Finally, after a tense wait, a group of soldiers in uniform, their expressions serious, slowly emerged from the cave.
What they were carrying were the mysterious device that had caused the massive explosion and the wounded.
When the device was placed on the ground, the surrounding crowd quickly gathered around, curious to see what it was all about.
The device emitted a faint blue light, as dazzling as the twinkling stars in the night sky.
What's even more surprising is that its surface is densely covered with all sorts of strange and bizarre patterns. These patterns are intricate and complex, like a mysterious and unpredictable ancient scroll.
Standing in the crowd, Shen Xiaochuan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu about the patterns in front of him.
So, he unconsciously took a few steps forward and stared intently at the patterns, examining them carefully.
Just then, a thought suddenly came to mind, and Shen Xiaochuan subconsciously reached out his right hand to gently touch one of the lines.
In the blink of an eye, the instant his fingers touched the patterns, a dazzling blue light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the surrounding dark corners.
Upon witnessing this sudden turn of events, everyone present gasped in surprise.
Some people even tried to rush forward to stop Shen Xiaochuan from continuing his adventure, but Shen Xiaochuan ignored them and walked forward step by step, touching the blue patterns.
He stood there unharmed, and not only that, a subtle look of understanding flashed in his originally clear and bright eyes.
