Chapter 1890 A Utopia
Zhuo Yun promptly recalled that Chairman Sheng was King at the mention of Mirage Base.
In that case, the things that had happened recently were planned.
But exactly what did Chairman Sheng want?
A serious look emerged in Zhuo Yun"s eyes. He could only hope that Prof Min was okay now.
He inhaled deeply. He turned around to look at his boss sitting in the backseat waiting for his instruction and approval.
"Keep going," said Min Yu mildly.
The stranger it was, the more they were at the right location.
Zhuo Yun nodded. He continued driving the off-road car. Also, he communicated with his subordinates telling them to follow behind him closely.
After a brief silence inside the car, Huo Yao suddenly asked Myron, "Have you entered Mirage Base"s secret chamber?"
"Uh huh. Just that year… I inadvertently entered the place once."
Mirage Base found Myron back in the day and nearly made him their lab rat. Although G.o.d of Wealth saved him, he inadvertently entered the secret chamber. After a day, he eventually escaped the base.
Hence, he had a clear recollection of the secret chamber.
"Other than the map, what else was inside the secret chamber?" Huo Yao did not have the chance to access the secret chamber, but she could faintly sense it contained the secret of Mirage Base"s very existence.
"A stone platform was inside." Myron pondered and added, "Nothing else was inside and the room was simple. I remember seeing dents at the center of the stone platform. It resembled a special machine requiring a key. I"m not sure if there was more to the secret chamber."
He knew nothing about ancient-style mechanisms. At that time, he simply wanted to stay alive. How could he have the time to study the things inside the room?
Hearing this, Huo Yao touched her jacket collar intermittently.
The high-precision simulated map was probably a map showing the way to the Shangguan clan. As for the stone platform and key… they sounded like they had something to do with the clan as well.
Myron looked into the rearview mirror. When G.o.d of Wealth said nothing, he finally said, "The moment we have a signal, shall I send my men to check on the secret chamber?"
Huo Yao snapped out of her thoughts after a couple of seconds and shook her head. "It"s okay."
The answer was in the Shangguan clan"s restricted area and it was about to be revealed soon.
"Okay then." Myron did not continue with the subject.
The off-road cars continued driving on the mountain through the forest. Not long after, they came to a dead end.
The trees towered over them completely blocking out the light and making the place very dark.
They had no signal and the compa.s.s continued to fail. It seemed as though they were cut off from the outside world and it was impossible for their cars to keep going.
They got out of the cars and proceeded on foot.
Fortunately, Zhuo Yun had experience surviving the wilderness. Also, their men had undergone special training. The dense forest was unable to stop them.
"Tell everyone to stay close together," said Huo Yao as they entered the forest.
Her voice sounded relatively normal, but it was a little more serious than usual.
Min Yu looked at Huo Yao. "What"s wrong?"
Huo Yao looked up, pursed her lips, and said, "The place has ancient-style mechanisms and formations. If you get lost inside, you can never come out."
Hearing this, Zhuo Yun leaned close to her sternly. At the same time, he signaled his subordinates behind him.
He had no doubt in Huo Yao"s words at all.
Huo Yao raised her brow and said, "Just follow me."
Saying this, she took the lead in entering the forest.
Zhuo Yun looked at Huo Yao from behind and touched his nose. Then, he looked at his boss with a look of surprise. "Miss Huo seems to know the place very well…"
Before he could finish his sentence, Min Yu interrupted him. "Stop talking and just walk."
Zhuo Yun promptly shut his gap.
Did his boss dislike him again?
Before long, everyone took their gear and followed closely behind her.
The deeper they went inside the forest, the stranger it felt. It was completely different from a normal forest. It felt as though they had gone to a different world. They could keenly detect the darkness and coldness inside.
After walking for some time, the darkness gradually disappeared and the s.p.a.ce opened up.
In the distance, a rather small village could be seen in the valley. The entire village was surrounded by dense forest. It was early Spring and cherry blossoms could be seen everywhere. It was truly Utopia.
Seeing the scene before her, Huo Yao was unable to feel any tranquility inside for the first time. Instead, she felt worried.
At this moment, Zhuo Yun said excitedly, "Isn"t that the plane that the archaeological team took?"
