Chapter 257: Chapter 255 I Will Try to Come Back in Time
Jiang Yan remained silent for a second, then shot a glance at Song Qian:
“So, what do you need me to do?”
She assumed there must be some implication in speaking to her about this.
The latter probably didn’t expect her to ask such a question and appeared embarrassed for a second, saying:
“Jiang Yan, I’m not saying we need you to do anything specifically. If anything, we hope you can safely reach East Mountain. This was the only instruction Leader Mo left me with before he departed.”
“Of course, I will also do my utmost to escort you there. Otherwise, at this moment of extreme urgency, I wouldn’t be standing here having this conversation with you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn’t help but smile bitterly for a second.
It seemed like there was no choice but to head to East Mountain immediately.
Once again, she had an intense feeling that something, like the gears of fate, was subtly driving her towards a certain place.
If that was the case, then let it be in accordance with destiny…
She sighed inwardly, about to say something else, when she saw Jiang Ye, having just collected his supplies, walking over to her and Song Qian.
“Captain Song, we meet again.” Jiang Ye greeted politely, then looked at Jiang Yan, “Su—” He stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
Jiang Yan gave a slight smile and waved her hand, “Let’s reintroduce ourselves, Jiang Yan.”
Since everyone was gathered in this room, it was highly likely that they were all carefully selected by Yaoben Base.
If they were going to be seeing a lot of each other later on, there was no longer any need for her to conceal her name.
“Hello, Jiang Yan.” A hint of embarrassment crossed Jiang Ye’s eyes, then jokingly added, “Never thought we’d actually be relatives.”
Jiang Yan didn’t bother to explain, just laughed softly.
“Before the apocalypse, Jiang Ye was an IT expert, you can think of him as a ‘Red Hacker,'” Song Qian introduced him and whispered, “I only found out yesterday.”
The two had previously met on the surface, in Jiang Yan’s ice house.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye grinned sheepishly, “Captain Song is too kind, I was just scraping by.”
“So, does that mean that cyber security is involved here at the base now?” Jiang Yan was surprised.
Song Qian nodded, speaking softly:
“Yes, the core area involves it, it’s like a small-scale LAN. Like the hand-drawn map I showed you earlier, some places have very strict access controls. We wouldn’t be able to get in without Jiang Ye and his team’s hacking.
We suspect that the place where those scientists are being held will also have similar setups.”
“Access controls?” Jiang Yan was puzzled for a second.
Suddenly, she remembered the work permit with a chip she had found in the magenta Mercedes in Xiangcheng—Xue Qianmei’s.
“Captain Song, Jiang Yan, I’ll go out and get the luggage. See you at platform three shortly,” Jiang Ye knew he couldn’t contribute to their conversation, realizing they had important matters to discuss, so he didn’t want to disturb them further.
Song Qian and Jiang Yan nodded in unison.
Only then did Jiang Yan notice that most of the people who had been in the room had already left.
Left behind were Ye Qing, Su Dai, and their group of three, waiting for her.
There was also a set of spare supplies left, apparently for her.
Su Dai and Sun Jingtao had been hastily “invited” down by Kong Wu and had no luggage with them.
The guns and weapons they had originally acquired had already been confiscated upon entering Flame Base.
They had also wanted to return to the surface to collect their luggage, but were told that the entrance from the 101st underground layer to the surface base had been temporarily sealed.
They would be able to obtain the supplies they needed once they reached Yaoben Base.
They only had a few items like clothes and food left in the room.
After some thought, they had no choice but to give up on going up and waited quietly beside Jiang Yan.
As for Ye Qing, his situation was more unusual—if he did not return to the SNP lab within the stipulated time, the consequences could be severe…
But now that Jiang Yan was here, he too had made up his mind to forgo trying to return to the surface.
The three of them saw Jiang Yan frowning, having a quiet conversation with Song Qian, and didn’t come over to disturb them.
“By the way, shouldn’t we be heading to platform three now?” Jiang Yan glanced at the time; five or six minutes had already passed.
“No need, there’s a docking station here, too, but it’s usually reserved for Leader Mo’s personal use. Now that this area is going to be abandoned, there’s no longer a need for secrecy.” Somehow, Song Qian’s brow relaxed upon saying this.
He quickly walked over to the projection screen, moved the stand aside, and gently pressed his palm against something.
With a “rumble,” a tunnel with dim lighting appeared before them, and the silhouette of a boxcar-like train could be faintly seen.
“These glowing stones, are they…?” Jiang Yan was dumbfounded for a second, as if caught in a surreal illusion.
The same was true for Su Dai, Sun Jingtao, and the others beside her.
Song Qian replied, “Yes, naturally occurring fluorite.”
As his words fell, the sound of noisy conversation drifted from the other end of the car.
Song Qian stepped aside, “That over there is platform three; they’re beginning to board.”
A frown creased Jiang Yan’s forehead. Suddenly, she reached into her pocket, feeling for something that was actually from Space—she pulled out Xue Qianmei’s work permit that she had previously found:
“I picked this up on the way to work a few days ago.”
Song Qian looked puzzled for a second, but upon seeing what it was, his eyes suddenly brightened with excitement, “Jiang Yan, could we borrow this card for a moment?”
Jiang Yan, startled, handed him the card, “What do you mean? It’s still valid even when lost?”
“Yes! There’s no time to explain now, the train will leave on time shortly. Please board first, and I will make sure to return in time to explain later.”
With that, Song Qian took the work permit and hurried out the door.
