Fan Mengmeng followed Captain Liu into the base. The heavy door slammed shut behind them, as if isolating them from another world.

The base was unnervingly quiet, with only the low hum of the overhead lights and disturbing red dots flickering on the walls on both sides of the corridor.

Researcher Wang pointed at the dots of light, his voice trembling, "These are infrared sensors. Once touched, they will trigger an alarm."

"Alarm?" Fan Mengmeng's heart tightened. She didn't want to cause any trouble here.

"That's right," Researcher Wang pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting a faint light, "This security system is very sophisticated, and no slight movement can escape its monitoring." He carefully walked around a spot of light, as if it were some kind of monster, "Moreover, the layout of these devices is very complicated, even we staff members have to be extra careful." There was a hint of boasting in his words, but he could not hide the fear in his heart.

Captain Liu glanced at him impatiently and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense and lead the way!"

Researcher Wang shrank his neck and hurriedly walked ahead like a frightened rabbit.

Fan Mengmeng followed closely behind, her eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment, and she became more and more nervous.

These infrared rays intertwined into an invisible net, as if they would trap her at any time.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi were forced into a desperate situation.

The bandits surrounded them like a pack of hungry wolves, the shining blades in their hands flashing coldly in the sunlight.

Teng Junze waved his sword to resist, but he was outnumbered and his arm was scratched, with blood dripping down his sleeve.

"Master, your injury..." Xiao Shunzi looked at him anxiously.

"It's okay," Teng Junze gritted his teeth, but the speed of swinging the sword did not slow down at all, "We must rush out!"

The bandit leader approached with a snarling grin, "Boy, let's see how long you can hold out! If you know what's good for you, hand over your things and avoid physical pain!"

Teng Junze sneered, "If you want my things, it depends on whether you have the ability!" He swung his sword hard and forced back several bandits, but more bandits rushed up and surrounded him.

Back in the modern era, Fan Mengmeng looked at the complex infrared layout in front of her and felt like she was facing a huge maze.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

She knew that she had to find a way to get through here, otherwise she would not be able to complete the mission.

She subconsciously touched the ancient jade in her pocket, and suddenly a strange feeling surged in her heart... "Mengmeng, be careful!" Captain Liu suddenly reminded.

Fan Mengmeng suddenly looked up and saw a red light shooting towards her...

At the critical moment, Fan Mengmeng subconsciously tightened the ancient jade in her pocket.

A warm breath came from the jade and instantly flowed through the whole body.

At the same time, a strange picture seemed to appear before her eyes - an intricate wiring diagram, like a spider web, densely covering the walls, floor and ceiling. The flashing red dots were like jumping musical notes, marking the location and operating rules of the infrared sensing device.

This is exactly the circuit diagram of the base's security system!

She held her breath and moved lightly, like a nimble swallow, shuttling through the infrared web.

Every movement was precise and graceful, perfectly avoiding all sensing areas.

Captain Liu and Researcher Wang were stunned, as if they had witnessed an incredible magic show.

Researcher Wang was so shocked that his glasses slipped down and his mouth opened wide, unable to close for a long time.

"This...how is this possible..." he muttered to himself, unable to believe his eyes.

Although Captain Liu was surprised, the calmness gained from years of training allowed him to quickly recover, and a glimmer of inquiry flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi were in a tough battle.

The bandit leader was called "One-eyed Dragon". He was a burly man with a face full of flesh, and a fierce light flashed in his one eye.

The big knife in his hand danced with great vigor, and every swing was filled with fierce murderous intent.

"Guys, come on! This kid must have a lot of treasures on him!" The one-eyed dragon gave an order, and the bandits attacked even more frantically.

Teng Junze fought and retreated, using the surrounding trees and rocks as cover and continuously counterattacking.

He was agile and had superb swordsmanship, and every time he struck his sword he hit the enemy's vital points accurately.

Xiao Shunzi also helped by picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at the bandits. Although the force was not great, it did have a certain disruptive effect.

"Young Master, we have to find a way to break out!" Xiao Shunzi shouted anxiously while dodging the bandits' attacks.

Teng Junze's eyes flashed. He knew that he couldn't keep wasting time like this. He had to find a breakthrough.

He noticed a small path on the cliff on one side of the mountain road. Although it was rugged and difficult to walk on, it might allow them to escape.

"Xiao Shunzi, follow me!" Teng Junze shouted, made a feint, forced back a few bandits, and then ran towards the path.

Xiao Shunzi followed closely behind, and the two climbed up with difficulty while being chased by the bandits.

Back in the modern era, Fan Mengmeng successfully avoided all infrared sensing devices with the special ability of the golden finger.

She followed the map in her mind and found where the base stored special medicines.

However, at the entrance to the medicine warehouse, there is a protective net flashing with blue electric light.

Researcher Wang's face paled even further when he saw this. "It's over! This is a high-voltage power grid. If you touch it, you'll be electrocuted!"

Fan Mengmeng ignored his exclamation. She carefully observed the structure of the power grid, and relevant circuit knowledge emerged in her mind.

She reached into her bag, pulled out a small electronic device, and began to operate it... Captain Liu watched her series of skillful movements, his heart full of doubts.

Who is this seemingly weak girl?

Suddenly, the blue electric light disappeared and the protective net closed.

Fan Mengmeng put away her equipment and turned to look at Captain Liu. "Okay, we can go in." She reached out and pushed open the door to the medicine warehouse...

The door of the medicine warehouse opened heavily, and a gust of cold air hit me in the face.

The warehouse is lined with neatly arranged metal shelves, which store a variety of medicines and emit a faint medicinal fragrance.

Following the description of the medicine in her mind, Fan Mengmeng quickly found the special serum she needed - a special medicine that can quickly heal external and internal injuries.

She carefully put several vials of serum into her backpack, feeling relieved.

Captain Liu approached her, sizing her up with a complex gaze. "Who are you?" he asked in a low voice, a hint of caution and inquiry.

Fan Mengmeng turned to look at him with a faint smile.

"I'm just an ordinary person trying to survive in this troubled world." She didn't answer his question directly, but cleverly avoided it.

"Ordinary people? Can ordinary people have the skills and knowledge like you?" Captain Liu obviously didn't believe her explanation.

He had witnessed Fan Mengmeng's agility in moving through the infrared network, and had also witnessed her skillful operation of shutting down the high-voltage power grid.

These are not things an ordinary person can do.

Fan Mengmeng didn't explain any further. She knew now was not the time to explain. She needed to leave here as soon as possible to help Teng Junze.

"Captain Liu, thank you for your care during this period. I'll take my leave first." After she said that, she turned and walked out of the warehouse.

"Stop!" Captain Liu reached out to stop her. "You can't just leave like that! You must come back with me for investigation!"

Fan Mengmeng's eyes turned cold, and a chill emanated from her.

"Captain Liu, I hope you understand that I am not your prisoner. I don't want to be your enemy, but if you insist on stopping me, don't blame me for being rude."

Although her tone was calm, it was filled with unquestionable firmness.

Captain Liu looked at her, his heart full of contradictions.

He knew that this girl was hiding many secrets, but he also felt an inexplicable awe for her.

At that moment, a shrill alarm rang out in the base. Red alarm lights flashed, and the entire base was plunged into a tense atmosphere.

"What's going on?" Captain Liu's face changed and he asked hurriedly.

"Report to the captain! The base was attacked by unknown creatures!" A soldier ran over in a panic to report.

Captain Liu's heart sank, he knew the situation was not good.

He glanced at Fan Mengmeng and finally put his hand down.

"Go ahead. I hope we'll have a chance to meet again."

Fan Mengmeng didn't say anything. She looked at Captain Liu deeply, then turned and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

At the same time, on the ancient mountain road, Teng Junze had found the leader of the bandits - a short man with a sinister face.

He hid behind the bandits and directed their attack.

Teng Junze seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed the commander with the sword in his hand like lightning.

"Protect the boss!" Seeing this, the bandits surrounded him and wanted to protect their commander.

Teng Junze sneered, and the sword in his hand danced more fiercely, taking a life with every swing.

Although the bandits were numerous and powerful, they were no match for him.

"Ah!" The commander let out a scream as Teng Junze's sword pierced his chest.

The commander fell to the ground, his blood staining the ground red.

Seeing this, the bandits immediately became confused.

Teng Junze took the opportunity to break out with Xiao Shunzi and disappeared into the dense woods.

Fan Mengmeng held the special serum, and the scene of Teng Junze being injured emerged in her mind. She was anxious and wanted to finish things here quickly to help him.

She looked at the communicator in her hand, "No signal yet..."

The shrill alarm sounded like a taut string, constantly prickling Fan Mengmeng's nerves.

She clutched the backpack containing the serum, her heart pounding.

The scene of Teng Junze being injured flashed repeatedly in her mind. His face was pale and the blood at the corner of his lips was shocking, making her heart ache.

The chaos in the base gave her an opportunity, she had to leave here as soon as possible.

The corridor was filled with flashing lights, sirens and people's terrified shouts, creating chaos.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Fan Mengmeng flew through the panicked crowd like a nimble swallow.

She tried to avoid the crowd, moving quickly along the wall, trying not to attract attention.

"Over there! Go over there quickly!" The soldiers' voices came from not far away, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Fan Mengmeng's heart sank, knowing that she had to find an exit as soon as possible.

She dodged into a laboratory and locked the door.

Through the window, she saw soldiers running in the direction she had just come from.

The laboratory was filled with the pungent smell of chemicals, and various instruments were neatly arranged.

Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

She looked around, searching for a way to escape.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on the back door of the laboratory, which led to the back mountain of the base, and perhaps she could escape from there.

She quickly ran to the back door and pulled hard, but found it was locked.

"Damn it!" she cursed, anxiously looking for tools to unlock the door.

Time passed minute by minute, and the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. She felt like a prey trapped in a cage, and could be discovered at any time.

Just then, her eyes fell on a toolbox in the corner.

She rushed over and opened the toolbox, which contained various tools.

She quickly found a screwdriver, inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it hard, and with a "click", the lock opened.

She pushed open the door, slipped out, and quickly disappeared into the night.

At the same time, in the ancient mountains and forests, Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi were traveling through the dense woods.

Although they succeeded in killing the bandit leader, the remaining bandits still pursued them relentlessly.

"Master, we have to find a way to get rid of them!" Xiao Shunzi said breathlessly, his face covered in sweat.

Teng Junze's face was solemn. He looked around and came up with an idea. "Let's go to Eagle's Beak Cliff!"

Eagle's Beak Cliff is a steep cliff with only a narrow path accessible.

If they could get there, they could take advantage of the terrain and stop the bandits from pursuing them.

"But sir, the road to Eagle's Beak Cliff is too dangerous!" Xiao Shunzi said worriedly.

"We can't worry about that now!" Teng Junze said firmly, "We must get rid of them as soon as possible!"

After saying this, he ran towards the Eagle's Beak Cliff. Xiao Shunzi followed closely behind him, not daring to slack off even a little.

The bandits were still chasing them, shouting and waving their weapons like a group of ferocious beasts.

Can Teng Junze and Xiao Shunzi successfully reach Eagle's Beak Cliff?

Can Fan Mengmeng bring the special serum back safely?

The suspense unfolds in the interweaving of two time and space, the gears of fate slowly turn, where will their future go?
