Chapter 387 Do Not Move!
Chapter 387 Do Not Move!
Zhang Yan stopped.
Nie Qingcheng immediately said, "Don't read it!"
Zhang Yan did not move.
The system exited on the second line.
Residual voice recordings: recoverable.
Play?
No one spoke in the warehouse.
Nie Qingcheng's voice tightened slightly.
"Zhang Yan, retreat."
Zhang Yan closed his eyes.
"I'll only listen for three seconds."
Nie Qingcheng angrily shouted, "Zhang Yan!"
The system has already started playing.
A weary male voice echoed intermittently in the warehouse.
"...If anyone who comes after sees this record...do not take it with you..."
Zhang Yan's fingers froze.
The sound continued.
"...Shuning, I might not be able to go back..."
Zhang Yan did not move the moment the voice appeared.
Nie Qingcheng called out to him over the phone.
"Zhang Yan, turn it off."
Zhang Yan looked at the voiceprint analysis that popped up in the system.
Matching in progress.
Suspected target: Zhang Huaichuan.
Match rate: 81%.
Qin Xiao's voice also lowered.
"Brother Yan..."
Zhang Yan said, "I'm fine."
Nie Qingcheng's voice was cold.
"You call this okay?"
Zhang Yan raised his hand and paused the voice message.
The warehouse was quiet again.
He looked at the meteorite, then at the "Do Not Move" sign on the wall.
"Let's get down to business first."
Nie Qingcheng did not answer immediately.
After a two-second pause, she said, "Okay. Let's leave first."
Zhang Yan fastened the sample box tightly and carefully put it away close to his body.
He did not touch the voice recording again.
The door lock will reopen after recognizing the "Heart of Heaven".
Zhang Yan walked out of the warehouse.
The door closed behind them.
Guan Xing said, "The fluctuations in the gate structure remain stable. The sampling did not cause structural imbalance."
Zhang Yan asked, "Where is the main body of the third door?"
The stargazer replied, "Based on the coordinates of the seven gates you obtained earlier, the main body of the third gate should be located in the deep sea of the North Atlantic Ridge, not in the Sahara."
Qin Xiao then asked, "Then why is this thing in the desert?"
As Zhang Yan returned along the passage, he said, "The system just provided supplementary analysis; it's the calibration anchor point for the third door's detachment."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "What is its function?"
"The third gate for remote stability."
"What if we move?"
"The shielding efficiency of the third door decreases by about 7%."
Qin Xiao muttered under his breath, "If Helios and his gang were to take it to Paris for an exhibition, the world would be in serious trouble."
Nie Qingcheng said coldly, "They don't know what they're keeping."
Guan Xing said, "Zhang Huaichuan knows."
After those words were spoken, the communication fell silent again.
Zhang Yan did not respond.
He reached the bottom of the maintenance shaft, and the boom hooked onto the inner wall and climbed upwards.
Qin Xiao checked the time.
"There are 2 hours and 31 minutes left in the maintenance window. The fourth-floor patrol schedule remains unchanged for now."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Don't get distracted anymore."
Zhang Yan replied, "Yes."
He returned to the fourth floor.
The air conditioning is still on.
There was no one in the fourth-floor quarantine area.
Zhang Yan paused briefly as he passed a closed observation room.
There are three old tables behind the glass.
Several yellowed sheets of paper were pressed on the table.
Zhang Yan glanced at it.
Qin Xiao immediately said, "Brother Yan, we have enough time, but I don't recommend stopping."
Nie Qingcheng said, "Don't stop."
Zhang Yan continued walking.
"Know."
He returned to the fourth-floor door and locked the mechanical door again.
Then we went upstairs and passed through the three-story materials area.
3:02 AM.
Zhang Yan returned to the lounge.
Qin Xiao immediately restored the monitoring footage.
"Loop closed. No alarms triggered."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Sample status?"
Zhang Yan sat down on the edge of the bed, opened the sealed box, and glanced at it.
"intact."
Guan Xing said, "Stardust is highly reactive. Return to China as soon as possible and avoid undergoing a second test abroad."
Nie Qingcheng said, "We'll leave as normal tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yan said, "Hmm."
Nie Qingcheng was silent for a moment.
"That audio recording..."
"We'll talk about it when we get back."
Are you sure?
"Sure."
Nie Qingcheng's voice softened a little.
"Zhang Yan, you're not alone in listening now."
Zhang Yan looked down at the sample box in his hand.
"I know."
"You don't need to deal with your father's affairs alone."
"Um."
"I am here."
"Um."
After daybreak.
The security supervisor knocked on the door.
"Mr. Zhang, did you sleep well last night?"
Zhang Yan opened the door.
"Well enough."
The other person glanced at the equipment box behind him.
"We still have half a day of testing scheduled today."
Zhang Yan said, "No need. We have already collected the necessary data, and I will submit a preliminary report to Helios."
The security supervisor was somewhat surprised.
"So fast?"
"Your material samples are very complete."
"Then I'll arrange for you to leave."
"Thanks."
Zhang Yan followed the other person through the first-floor lobby.
The French researcher was standing next to the coffee machine yesterday.
He saw Zhang Yan and smiled.
"The Eastern Advisor, are you leaving already?"
Zhang Yan stopped.
"Um."
"It seems our technology has disappointed you?"
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"On the contrary."
The other party was taken aback.
Zhang Yan said, "There are many things we can learn from you here."
The researcher's expression softened slightly.
"Then you're welcome to come again next time."
Zhang Yan said, "I hope we don't need to."
The researcher didn't understand.
Zhang Yan had already turned and left.
Outside the facility, the desert wind was very strong.
The vehicles were waiting at the door.
Qin Xiao let out a long breath through the headset.
"Brother Yan has gone out. He didn't call the police the whole time."
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Is anyone following us?"
Qin Xiao said, "The two security vehicles were just for routine escort to the airport entrance."
Guan Xing said, "The sample resonance did not spread, and the container did not become unstable."
Nie Qingcheng said calmly, "Zhang Yan, get in the car."
"Um."
The car drove out of the facility's range.
Zhang Yan glanced back at the building that was half-buried in the sand.
He didn't speak.
Nie Qingcheng asked, "Thinking about voice messages?"
"Um."
"Want to listen now?"
"No."
Why?
Zhang Yan said, "I'm afraid it will affect my judgment."
Nie Qingcheng did not ask any further questions.
The car arrived at the temporary airport.
Zhang Yan completed the exit procedures and boarded his private plane.
After the hatch closed, Qin Xiao's voice came through the encrypted channel.
"Brother Yan, the Black Scorpion has already retreated from the outer edge of the desert. No one has noticed."
Zhang Yan said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"My sister-in-law has already arranged for the Jinghai Laboratory to prepare to receive the samples."
Nie Qingcheng was in the channel.
"I am here."
Zhang Yan leaned back in his seat.
"I landed three hours later."
"I'll come pick you up."
"No need, you haven't slept much these past two days."
"I'll come pick you up."
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
"it is good."
Qin Xiao tactfully said, "Then I'll log off first. Brother Yan, call me anytime if anything happens."
Guan Xing also said, "I'll check Zhang Huaichuan's overseas entry and exit records from 26 years ago. There might be clues in the old archives of Guantian Pavilion."
Zhang Yan said, "Thank you."
Only Nie Qingcheng remained in communication.
She didn't speak immediately.
After a while, she asked, "You got the sample; you should be happy."
Zhang Yan said, "I'm happy."
"Your voice doesn't sound like it."
"Because of that audio recording."
"Zhang Yan".
"Um."
"If your father was really involved in all of this, it proves at least one thing."
"What?"
"He didn't abandon you to your death."
