Chapter 1261: Arrival at the Experimental Base

For the next few days, Xu Chenchen, wearing Lin Xiaoling's appearance, wandered around outside with everyone.

He performed flawlessly, portraying every detail of Lin Xiaoling to the fullest extent.

Only Mu Xinruan suffered; although the person before her indeed looked like Lin Xiaoling, the thought that it was a grown man made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

But to catch the person behind this, she forced herself to endure it, constantly hypnotizing herself, telling herself it was fine.

After a few days of interaction, Gu Yanqi also realized that the girl Mu Xinruan was not bad; it was just that having been pampered by everyone in the past and present, she had suddenly become spoiled, with some Young Lady habits, yet her personality was quite soft and gentle.

This made her look a bit more like a "tea" girl.

Four days passed in a row; on the fifth day, someone finally couldn't hold back. While walking, Xu Chenchen accidentally bumped into someone. Their eyes met, and Xu Chenchen immediately understood the situation of the newcomer.

Touching the note in his pocket, Xu Chenchen slightly curled his lips, then patted Mu Xinruan's right shoulder.

This was the agreed signal: once someone was suspected, pat Mu Xinruan's left shoulder; once someone was confirmed, pat Mu Xinruan's right shoulder.

Seeing Xu Chenchen's signal, Xiao Han, hidden in the shadows, immediately moved out and followed the person who had just left.

Xu Chenchen then took out the note, which read: "Midnight, outside the base on the right, be there or be square."

Since they now had a lead, they no longer needed to pretend outside.

Xu Chenchen immediately took Mu Xinruan back to the residence, while Ning Chen and the others had already returned.

Xiao Han was the last to arrive; he told everyone that the person had left the base.

"Do you have any impression of that person?" Ning Chen looked at the elders of the East District Base, Tianze and Noah.

Both shook their heads; this person probably held no official rank and seemed to have blended into the ranks of ordinary people.

"He must have support from high levels behind him; otherwise, it would be impossible to pass through the gate so quickly."

Hearing Ning Chen say this, everyone also realized the strangeness in this.

Indeed, how could an ordinary person leave the base so easily? That was clearly unrealistic.

"So, should we go to this appointment tonight?" Xu Chenchen placed the note on the table, looked at Ning Chen, and waited for him to make a decision.

"Go, of course we go."

There was still a considerable amount of time before midnight. Ning Chen, using the title of Elder, led everyone, except Xu Chenchen, out of the East District Base through another gate.

After making a large detour, Ning Chen parked the car at a spot some distance to the right of the East District Base gate.

This was exactly where Ning Chen had hidden the car before; here, due to the darkness, their eavesdropping could be greatly ensured to remain undetected.

Midnight arrived quickly, and Xu Chenchen came to this spot at the appointed time to keep the appointment.

Suddenly, the man from daytime rushed out and, without a word, attacked Xu Chenchen.

Xu Chenchen instinctively wanted to use wind abilities to counter, but suddenly he remembered that Lin Xiaoling did not have wind abilities, so he gave up, thinking about how to quickly get out of the current situation.

Before Xu Chenchen could think of a method, a vine shot up from the ground, wrapping the man in front of him layer upon layer, inside and out.

A green light gradually radiated along his body, as if these vines were being used by him.

The man, trapped like a zongzi, was not only not angry but looked very happy: "Alright, alright, I just wanted to test you. Let me go quickly."

Hearing the man's words, Xiao Han immediately retracted his abilities, and the green light on Xu Chenchen disappeared.

The man lost his balance and fell to the ground. He quickly got up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said, "Why are you still so rough? It hurts so much. Please be gentler next time."

After standing up, the man came to Xu Chenchen's side. Perhaps because Lin Xiaoling was a girl, the man had no suspicion at all of Xu Chenchen playing Lin Xiaoling.

"Lingling, what's wrong with you recently? Why is there no intelligence anymore? Is there no intelligence?"

Xu Chenchen nodded, and also sighed, saying, "You know, things haven't been peaceful on our side recently; they are looking for a traitor."

"Looking for a traitor? Then you..." The man looked at Lin Xiaoling with a tense face.

"Don't worry, I still have their full trust; they seem to suspect me not at all."

Hearing Xu Chenchen's words, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good. But even so, I think you should go back to your parents' side. You've been away from them for a long time, and you've actually completed your mission quite well."

Xu Chenchen was originally thinking about how to bring up the situation of his parents faster, but unexpectedly, the other party gave him a direct assist.

However, using Lin Xiaoling's skin, Xu Chenchen made a difficult expression.

"Sigh, I want to go back, but I'm afraid they will be unhappy."

Xu Chenchen acted with great depth, portraying the worry to the fullest extent.

The man waved his hand at Xu Chenchen and said, "Oh, how could your parents blame you? They miss you very much. You should go see them. How about this? I'll contact them right now to come and pick you up. Don't worry or hesitate; just go home directly."

The man seemed to leave Xu Chenchen no room to refute. He took out something resembling a communication device and pressed a few keys.

About an hour later, a car drove over, and several humans got off.

Xu Chenchen, confused and bewildered, got into the car.

What is this situation? I hope Brother Ning can find me.

Thinking of this, Xu Chenchen began to leave traces along the way. He activated his wind abilities and started making marks on the ground every so often.

Ning Chen and the others waited until the man left before taking action.

It was still Ning Chen driving.

One could only say that Xu Chenchen's marks and worries were superfluous; Ning Chen directly activated his abilities, exploring Xu Chenchen's aura, and followed them all the way.

Suddenly, sensing the other party stop, Ning Chen immediately drove the car to the right, at least to make sure the other party couldn't see them clearly.

Getting closer and closer to Xu Chenchen's location, they gradually saw a place with a magnetic field.

Here, a powerful magnetic field was visibly working diligently.

Stopping the car, Ning Chen and Xiao Han got off first to conduct exploration.

This place was much like the East District Base, with people guarding the entrance.

It seems this place is undoubtedly the nest of that group of researchers.

Now we must think about how to get inside; there are all kinds of magnetic fields all around, and we cannot yet startle the snake.
