Chapter 890: Destination

The people sitting at the conference table ignored Shang Jianyaos muttering and seriously discussed the pertinent questions. From the looks of it, they wanted to go into the details with Shang Jianyao.

Shang Jianyao obviously knew nothing. Upon seeing that the situation was going south, he immediately ran to the meeting rooms brown door.

Without any other changes to the scene, he wanted to see if the door could be opened now.

Shang Jianyao stretched out his palm, clenched it, twisted it, and pulled. The brown meeting room door moved back, no longer holding steadfast.

He immediately clapped and smiled. As expectedwe have to resolve the problem thats plaguing them before we can advance in the dream.

He was in no rush to leave the meeting room. He stood at the door and looked out.

All he saw was darknesshe couldnt see the corridor clearly. Or rather, there was no corridor at all.

Shang Jianyao didnt hesitate to stride out the door with his head held high.

Support our newn0vel(0rg)

Bright and gentle light quickly lit up in front of him, illuminating his surroundings.

This was the same meeting room. A long, pale-white table with the same chairs occupied most of the s.p.a.ce. Right on the heels of that, figures appeared again.

Dumbfounded, Shang Jianyao didnt hide his surprise. Do we have to explain it to them clearly before its considered a pa.s.s? Only then can we leave this place and enter the next scene?

Without giving him a chance to speak, a man in the group walked to the projection screen, projected his slides, and began speaking. Unlike before, those people conversed in the Red River language this time, mixed with a large number of long and complicated terms.

Shang Jianyao had a solemn expression as he muttered to himself, I originally had problems understanding the stringed-up words I knew. Now, I dont understand many words Horrifying, absolutely horrifying!

He tried to retreat, but he realized that the brown door was already closed and couldnt be opened again.

Shang Jianyao thought for a few seconds and walked toward the shadow at the bottom of the meeting room. This time, he left as he wished and returned to the Mind Corridor.

He pa.s.sed through the door with piqued interest and entered Room 205.

As expected, he saw the same meeting room, but all the voices he heard were in the Red River language.

No matter what, at least the dream has changed sufficiently. Jiang Baimianwho was leaning against the jeep doorcomforted Shang Jianyao. This means that theres nothing wrong with our direction.

She pondered for a moment and said, What you need to do next is the same as before. Memorize the questions those people discuss and tell me bit by bit.

But I dont understand many words! Shang Jianyao was abnormally sad.

Remember the p.r.o.nunciations, Jiang Baimian replied without hesitation. As long as I confirm that they are still discussing biomedical problems, I can do some auto-correction and restore the actual meaning based on the context even if you get a few words wrong.

Alright. Shang Jianyao didnt hide his embarra.s.sment. He then said with a pained expression, Could it be that the dream is essentially conference room after conference room, each filled with questions that get harder to answer? If theres no end to this, Ill go crazy sooner or later!

What made you think you arent crazy?

Jiang Baimian found it amusing. She then consoled Shang Jianyao. No worries. In any case, youre a medically certified patient.

Thats true. Shang Jianyao immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Du Heng watched from the side and didnt say a word.

After Shang Jianyao spent a few days extracting the question in the second meeting room to reality, their jeep had already arrived at the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes headquarters.

Of course, they didnt dare to venture deeper for the time being. They only lingered at the edge and confirmed the situation in various ways.

Why does it feel like n.o.body is patrolling? Shang Jianyao sat in the pa.s.senger seat and looked outside in disappointment.

In the backseat, Du Heng smiled. Didnt I say? Maybe the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute felt that there was no way to hide the fact that their headquarters had been exposed, so instead of putting up a defense, they moved to a backup base.

But isnt there something important hidden deep in their headquarters? The honest Shang Jianyao pointed out the problem.

Du Heng laughed. Maybe that item can be moved.

That makes sense. Shang Jianyao clapped.

Jiang Baimianwho was in charge of drivinglooked at the rearview mirror. Maybe the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute relies on satellites in s.p.a.ce to monitor its surroundings.

I cant say for sure. Du Heng indicated that he didnt know much about this.

He turned his head to look out the window as if he were saying, Lets get closer to that mountain and take a look.

The Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes headquarters was located in a mountain range that divided north and south Icefield. Half of the mountain had been emptied.

This was somewhat similar to Pangu Biology, but the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes buildings didnt extend underground.

Alright! Shang Jianyao replied excitedly.

Jiang Baimian shot him a glance. Have you memorized the solution I gave you?

Ive memorized it. Shang Jianyao had an expression that said it was a painful memory.

This referred to the solution to the problem discussed in 205s dream.

In Jiang Baimians words, the problems in Dawns dream were too old. Some of them had been resolved before the Old World was destroyed. How could it daunt Pangu Biology researchers who specialized in biomedical science?

This seemed to confirm that Dawns body of descent was an Old World biomedical scholar.

When you have time, enter the Mind Corridor and try to resolve this problem. Try to see what changes the dream will have after you pa.s.s through that meeting room.

Alright. Shang Jianyao agreed quickly, but he didnt do it immediately.

As the jeep was approaching the mountain where the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes headquarters was, he had to focus on sensing his surroundings and observing the area ahead to prevent any accidents.

Perhaps due to the approaching summer, the snow on the mountain had mostly melted. Only the peak and the elevated areas remained white. They reflected the blue sky and were especially pure.

Upon seeing the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes entrance approaching, Jiang Baimian couldnt help but mutter, Theres really n.o.body

Du Heng stroked his beard and chuckled. They have most likely fled. I dont sense anybody inside.

You can sense it from so far away?

Jiang Baimian raised her eyebrows.

The jeep was still two to three kilometers away from the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes cliff entrance. After entering, n.o.body knew how far they could go. Yet in such a situation, Du Heng could confirm with certainty that there was n.o.body inside.

Jiang Baimian wasnt surprised at all. She even felt that this still didnt match Teacher Du Hengs ident.i.ty.

Then, lets go in directly, Shang Jianyao said eagerly.

At this point, Jiang Baimian naturally didnt stop him. Alright.

She drove straight to their destination.

Shang Jianyao still dutifully took on the role of navigator.

Before long, the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes hidden entrance appeared in front of them. The heavy, two-paned door painted in camouflage colors was ajar.

They really ran away! Shang Jianyao was filled with regret.

Jiang Baimian tersely acknowledged it. Maybe they moved to the military base where they fired the missiles.

As they spoke, the jeep pa.s.sed through the door and entered the mountain.

Similar to Pangu Biologys underground building, they were greeted by a wide parking lot. However, there were only a few damaged cars awaiting repairs.

Sigh Shang Jianyao sighed at the fact that the Eighth Research Inst.i.tute had already moved.

After pa.s.sing through the parking lot, tunnels appeared. They led everywheresome were connected to the rooms on this floor, and some were connected to many elevators and emergency access pa.s.sageways.

Upon seeing the jeep stop, Du Heng asked, Where are we going?

Shang Jianyao asked in surprise, Didnt you say that you were going deep to search for that important item?

Du Heng laughed. I did say that, but the problem is that I dont know how deep it is.

Shang Jianyao came to a realization. I know that. Take the elevator to the fifth floor; theres a tunnel that leads deep into the mountain. The place where the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes Professors a.s.sociation holds meetings, the room where a few New World powerhouses are sleeping, and the original presidents office are all outside that tunnels entrance. They seem to be guarding it.

How do you know so much? Du Heng found it strange.

Shang Jianyao straightened his back and replied smugly, Because we were the ones who found the Eighth Research Inst.i.tutes headquarters and spread the news.

We didnt spread the news and only reported it to the company

Jiang Baimian corrected Shang Jianyao inwardly.

Du Heng nodded and praised with a smile, Not bad. I didnt guide you guys in vain.

Thats right, thats right. Shang Jianyao frankly accepted it.

This left Jiang Baimian, who wanted to be modest, at a loss for words.

She parked the car and put on the military exoskeleton with Shang Jianyao. They then walked to the corridor that connected to the elevator area with Du Heng.
