End of the World Crisis, My Husband is from Ancient Times
Chapter 55 The feeling of being watched
Fan Mengmeng's heart was pounding, and she held the special serum tightly in her hand, as if holding the hope of life.
The exit of the base was right in front of him, but there was a huge metal door standing in the way, with red countdown numbers flashing a dazzling light, like a death warrant.
The survivors in the base were in chaos, with cries and curses mixed together, and a feeling of despair was spreading.
"Mengmeng, this door... this door is closing!" Her teammate, Researcher Wang, said with a trembling voice and a pale face. He desperately grabbed Fan Mengmeng's arm, "We... we can't get out!"
Fan Mengmeng bit her lower lip and forced herself to calm down.
She looked around and noticed a complex control panel next to the metal door. The dense array of buttons and indicator lights on it dazzled her.
The countdown ticked relentlessly, and every second felt like a sharp knife stabbing her heart.
"Mengmeng, can you do it?" Researcher Wang's voice was tearful, and he pointed at the control panel with trembling hands, "I... I can't understand these things..." His words were full of doubts about Fan Mengmeng's abilities and fear for his own fate, which further highlighted Fan Mengmeng's weakness and helplessness at the moment.
At the same time, in the ancient mountains and forests, Teng Junze was surrounded.
He swung his sword hard to force back several approaching bandits, but more bandits pounced on him like hungry wolves, and he suffered several more wounds on his body, and blood stained his robes red.
"Young Master! I'm here to help you!" Xiao Shunzi waved the wooden stick in his hand and tried to rush into the encirclement, but was pushed to the ground by several bandits.
"Get out of here, you little bastard!" A bandit with a face full of flesh spat at Xiao Shunzi, his face full of sarcasm and disdain, "You think you can save your young master? Don't you see how many of us there are!" The other bandits also laughed, their arrogance forming a sharp contrast with Teng Junze's miserable situation.
Teng Junze's breathing became more and more rapid, and his strength gradually declined.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, scanning the surrounding bandits with cold eyes, feeling a surge of powerlessness in his heart.
Eagle's Beak Cliff is not far away, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
On the other side, Fan Mengmeng took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in her heart.
She stared at the control panel, a thousand thoughts racing through her mind.
Time passed by minute by minute, and there were only ten seconds left in the countdown.
"Mengmeng, what should we do? We..." Researcher Wang's voice was filled with despair. He closed his eyes tightly, as if he had given up hope.
An idea suddenly flashed through Fan Mengmeng's mind. She remembered that she had seen similar mechanism diagrams in ancient books before.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, placed her hands on the control panel, and quickly pressed a few buttons based on intuition and memory.
"Beep——" A crisp prompt sound rang out, and the metal door slowly opened.
"It's open! The door is open!" Researcher Wang exclaimed in surprise. He grabbed Fan Mengmeng's hand and ran out the door.
Fan Mengmeng ignored him and turned to look deep into the base, a complicated light flashing in her eyes.
"Mengmeng, hurry up! It will be too late if you don't leave now!" Researcher Wang's voice urged from outside the door.
Fan Mengmeng shook her head. She slowly stretched out her hand and walked towards the depths of the base... "Wait."
Fan Mengmeng ignored Researcher Wang's urging. Deep in the base was a secret weapon that could change the future course of battle, and she had to get it.
The moment she turned around, her eyes were locked on the flashing red indicator light at the end of the corridor, which was the core laboratory of the base.
The countdown continued, and the red numbers were jumping like a death warrant, but Fan Mengmeng's eyes were extremely firm.
She took a deep breath and ran towards the laboratory.
Researcher Wang outside the metal door was stamping his feet anxiously. He kept looking inside and muttering, "Mengmeng, come out quickly! It's too late!" Captain Liu also rushed to the door. He stared at the closed door with a serious expression and clenched his fists.
At the same time, in the ancient mountains and forests, Teng Junze's situation became increasingly critical.
The bandit leader approached with a grin on his face, the sword in his hand flashing with a cold light.
"Boy, I wonder how long you can last!" he taunted, his tone full of mockery and contempt.
The surrounding bandits also joined in the commotion, and the shouting was deafening.
At this critical moment, Teng Junze's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He took a deep breath, and a powerful force seemed to surge in his body.
He swung his sword violently, and the sword light cut through the air like lightning, and several approaching bandits fell to the ground.
He no longer dodged, but took the initiative to attack. His sword skills became more fierce, and every move hit the vital points.
"What's going on?" The bandit leader's face changed slightly. He didn't expect that Teng Junze had such strong fighting ability.
Ignoring the pain on his body, Teng Junze attacked the bandits around him frantically like a wounded beast.
He broke through the bandits' encirclement and went straight for the bandit leader.
His speed was astonishingly fast. Before the bandit leader could react, Teng Junze's sword was already against his neck.
"You..." The bandit leader widened his eyes in horror. He felt the threat of death.
Teng Junze looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
Back to the present day, Fan Mengmeng finally arrived at the door of the laboratory.
She quickly entered the password and the laboratory door slowly opened.
The laboratory is filled with various instruments and equipment, and the flashing lights shine on Fan Mengmeng's face, making her look particularly mysterious.
She immediately saw the special weapon on the experimental table. It was a peculiarly shaped energy gun.
Fan Mengmeng picked up the energy gun and felt ecstatic.
With this weapon, her chances of survival in the apocalypse will be greatly improved.
She put the energy gun into her backpack and turned to leave the laboratory.
Just as she was about to leave the base, she saw a batch of weapons and equipment piled at the door.
These weapons were intended to be shipped to other places at the base, but are now abandoned here because the base is about to close.
Fan Mengmeng's eyes lit up, and she quickly put the weapons into her own space.
"Mengmeng! You finally came out!" Researcher Wang ran over excitedly and hugged Fan Mengmeng.
Captain Liu also came over. He looked at Fan Mengmeng's empty hands and asked doubtfully, "Did you...did you get the serum?"
Fan Mengmeng smiled slightly but said nothing. She took Researcher Wang's hand and walked towards the base gate.
"Wait." Captain Liu suddenly stopped them, "What...what did you take?" He pointed at Fan Mengmeng's bulging backpack, his eyes full of suspicion.
Fan Mengmeng smiled mysteriously and patted her bulging backpack. "It's just a little gadget to save my life." Her tone was light, but unquestionable.
Captain Liu wanted to ask more questions, but was stopped by Researcher Wang.
"Captain Liu, now is not the time to worry about these things. Let's leave here first!" Researcher Wang urged anxiously. The base alarm sounded more and more urgent, making people panic.
Captain Liu looked at Fan Mengmeng deeply, and finally chose to leave with them.
The gate of the base slowly opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone in, as if symbolizing a new life.
Fan Mengmeng looked back at the base that was about to be closed, and an indescribable complex emotion surged in her heart.
She knew that what she took away was not only supplies, but also hope.
At the same time, in the ancient mountains and forests, Teng Junze's sword pierced the heart of the bandit leader.
The leader fell to the ground with a bang, his eyes wide open, full of unwillingness and fear.
Upon seeing this, the surrounding bandits immediately became confused, dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Xiao Shunzi hurriedly ran to Teng Junze to check his injuries.
Teng Junze was pale and had multiple injuries on his body, but he still stood straight, like a tall pine tree.
"It's okay." Teng Junze uttered two words lightly, his eyes swept over the fleeing bandits, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He finally resolved this crisis.
He turned to look at Widow Sun, who was shivering beside him, and said, "Lead the way."
Widow Sun nodded quickly and led Teng Junze and his group deeper into the mountains. This road led to a little-known secret place.
After returning to her modern residence, Fan Mengmeng immediately hid the special medicines and weapons.
She stroked the jade pendant she brought back from ancient times, her heart filled with longing and worry for Teng Junze.
She didn't know whether he was safe and sound now, or whether he was missing her in another time and space just like her.
She closed her eyes, as if she could still feel his warm embrace and hear his deep voice.
"Teng Junze, you must be safe..." Fan Mengmeng murmured softly, her eyes full of anticipation.
Suddenly, she felt a warmth coming from the jade pendant, as if responding to her thoughts.
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the jade pendant in her hand. The jade pendant emitted a faint fluorescence, and the light flickered, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
At the same time, the ancient Teng Junze also felt something strange about the jade pendant in his hand.
He stopped and looked at the jade pendant that was glowing in his hand, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Could it be... that she is thinking about him too?
Xiao Shunzi noticed something strange about Teng Junze and asked curiously, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Teng Junze did not answer, but just held the jade pendant tightly, his eyes deep, as if he could penetrate time and space and see the figure in the distance that had been haunting him.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and firm, "We will definitely meet again..."
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if responding to his oath.
In the distance, Widow Sun stopped and looked back at Teng Junze, with a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a mysterious smile... "Sir, this road..."
Fan Mengmeng returned to her modern residence and quickly hid the special medicines and weapons she had obtained, but her heart could not calm down.
She stroked the jade pendant she brought back from ancient times. The warm touch felt like Teng Junze's hand gently brushing her cheek.
The jade pendant exuded a faint warmth, just like his scorching gaze, causing her cheeks to flush slightly.
She closed her eyes and imagined Teng Junze in ancient times: Was he also like her, silently thinking about her while looking at the jade pendant?
Is he okay?
She couldn't let go of the dangers of ancient times, and worry entangled her heart like a vine.
How she wished she could travel back again at this moment, even if it was just to take a look at him from afar to make sure he was safe.
"Teng Junze, you must be safe..." Fan Mengmeng murmured softly, her voice trembling slightly, filled with strong longing and worry.
Suddenly, the temperature of the jade pendant rose sharply, and it was so hot that Fan Mengmeng could hardly hold it.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw that the jade pendant was emitting a dazzling fluorescence, the light flickering, as if something was about to break out of its shell.
At the same time, she felt dizzy, as if the vortex of time and space had sucked her in again.
In the ancient mountains and forests, the jade pendant in Teng Junze's hand also emitted the same light.
He stopped and looked at the glittering jade pendant in his hand, a hint of surprise and disbelief flashing in his deep eyes.
Could it be... that she is thinking about him too?
This wonderful feeling brought a warm feeling to his heart, dispelling the fatigue and worries of the past few days.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Xiao Shunzi noticed that Teng Junze was acting strangely and asked curiously.
A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled, as if responding to his oath.
In the distance, Widow Sun stopped and looked back at Teng Junze, with a barely perceptible gleam in her eyes.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mysterious smile... "Sir, this road..." Widow Sun hadn't finished her words when she saw the jade pendant in Teng Junze's hand glow brightly. Then, Teng Junze's figure began to blur...
When Fan Mengmeng returned to the modern era, the light of the jade pendant in her hand gradually dimmed.
She woke up from her dizziness and found herself still in her own residence.
Was everything that just happened an illusion?
She looked at the jade pendant in her hand with some suspicion, but it had returned to its calm state, as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that her longing was too strong and she was hallucinating?
Just then, my cell phone rang. It was Xiaohong, my colleague at work.
"Mengmeng, why didn't you come to work today? Everyone is worried about you." Xiaohong's voice sounded particularly concerned.
Fan Mengmeng felt a flicker of doubt. She had only told her department head about her leave request, so how did Xiaohong know about it?
"I felt a little unwell, so I asked for leave." Fan Mengmeng answered cautiously.
"Oh, I see. Then you should have a good rest and see you tomorrow." Xiaohong said and hung up the phone.
Fan Mengmeng held the phone, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Xiaohong's behavior today was a little abnormal... She walked to the window and glanced down inadvertently, only to see Xiaohong walking out of her apartment building and looking up at her window.
Xiaohong curled up a meaningful smile at the corner of her mouth, then turned and left.
Fan Mengmeng's heart sank, and she felt like she was being watched... "She..."
