Squid Who Loves Diving

Chapter 782 Perseverance

Hearing Long Yuehong's reminder, the other three members of the "Old Task Force" also saw the plaque hanging on the pillar beside the electric retractable gate, and the words "Dajiang City Elite Junior High School" were reflected in their eyes.

For a moment, Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to sigh, "I searched far and wide, but it was easily found," or be surprised that the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp was indeed Dajiang City.

"This isn't interesting enough!" Shang Jianyao said with regret.

"What kind of interesting do you want?" Jiang Baimian glanced at him.

Shang Jianyao pointed to the vertical plaque and said:

"If there was a line of small characters next to 'Dajiang City Elite Junior High School', saying 'Black Marsh City Office', that would have a strong dramatic effect, enough reversal, enough interesting."

Long Yuehong subconsciously imagined the scene described by Shang Jianyao and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This startled everyone, but it was just a false alarm!

Jiang Baimian spat and said:

"Unfortunately, we are making a serious documentary, not a nonsensical comedy movie."

Shang Jianyao had already shifted his focus, pointing to Dajiang City Elite Junior High School and saying:

"Should we go in and explore?"

"Not for now." Jiang Baimian hesitated and replied, "This involves 'Zhuang Sheng'. Who knows if we'll fall into a dream similar to the Taicheng No. 1 High School after we go in."

If there was no Genaava, the intelligent robot, as a backup, the "Old Task Force" was likely to be wiped out.

"No, no." Shang Jianyao shook his head with an unusually firm attitude.

Bai Chen, holding the "Orange" rifle, observed the surroundings, trying to guess the real reason why Shang Jianyao answered like this:

"Do you think Xiao Chong won't harm us?"

After confirming that this was Dajiang City, the correlation between Xiao Chong and "Zhuang Sheng" was further enhanced, so Bai Chen said this.

"No." Shang Jianyao shook his head again, "Because 'Zhuang Sheng's' current dream has nothing to do with school."

"How do you know?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Shang Jianyao's face was filled with "Isn't this a normal thing?":

"I open the door of '102' every day to see if there are any changes inside."

"102" was the "Mind Corridor" room representing "Zhuang Sheng."

"Some time ago, 'Zhuang Sheng' started dreaming again, dreaming of a vast ocean and a giant bird covering the sky." Shang Jianyao continued, "I don't know the specific situation of the dream, because I only looked at the door, but what is certain is that it has nothing to do with school."

So, it wouldn't cause the Dajiang City Elite Junior High School to mutate.

Jiang Baimian nodded slightly and said:

"You check the situation of '102' every day?"

"I'm just idle." Shang Jianyao didn't think there was anything to be surprised about.

What perseverance… Jiang Baimian commented in her heart.

If it were a normal person, they would definitely open the door of "102" only after a period of time to observe the situation inside. After all, even if there was some change, it wouldn't help reality. They wouldn't consider entering the room to explore the "Year Star's" sea of consciousness.

But Shang Jianyao was able to persevere in doing this thing that actually had little meaning.

Jiang Baimian asked herself, if it were her, she would at most confirm every day whether the "102" room had moved.

Thinking of this, she considered for a moment and said:

"Since 'Zhuang Sheng's' dream is unrelated to this school, then exploring inside is indeed something to consider."

Seeing Shang Jianyao about to rush out, she quickly added:

"But I don't think there will be any gains. Think about it, what was really valuable about Taicheng No. 1 High School? It was 'Zhuang Sheng's' dream, certain secrets hidden in that dream, and Taicheng No. 1 High School itself actually didn't have any clues left. The only thing worth noting was the 'Salvation Army' members who strayed there and died in 'acting'.

"Similar to Taicheng No. 1 High School, the class of students involving 'Zhuang Sheng' had graduated for many years before the Old World was destroyed. Later, new students entered one after another, constantly replacing and covering, burying all traces deep in history. Unless time can be reversed, it will be difficult for us to find valuable things."

Shang Jianyao suddenly turned his head and said to Long Yuehong:

"Quick, repeat these words!"

Boring… Long Yuehong didn't respond.

He knew what Shang Jianyao meant and didn't want to play meaningless games with him.

"Since we've come here, the risk of exploring inside isn't very high, so we can give it a try, it will only waste a little time." Bai Chen expressed his thoughts, "The company must have corresponding reasons for concealing the fact that this is Dajiang City."

The "Old Task Force" confirmed that the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp was Dajiang City so easily. There was no reason why Pangu Biology, which had been excavating here for more than two years, didn't know about this. They had collected a lot of written materials.

Therefore, the fact that the "Old Task Force" couldn't find that the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp was equivalent to Dajiang City from the information provided by the company could only mean that Pangu Biology deliberately concealed this point, for unknown reasons.

"Maybe we just don't have enough permissions." Long Yuehong defended the company in a low voice.

Bai Chen immediately replied:

"The fact that the permission to view the information that the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp is equal to Dajiang City is set so high can itself explain a lot of problems."

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong chose to agree.

At this time, Shang Jianyao clicked his tongue and said:

"Why are you so sure that this is Dajiang City?"

"Isn't it written there?" Long Yuehong pointed to the plaque of the school.

Shang Jianyao smiled and said:

"If it were me, I would deliberately make a 'Dajiang City Elite Junior High School' sign and hang it outside a school to mislead people who come to explore."

So, you have a problem with your brain, we are very normal… This is not something that can be fooled by just changing a sign, if you have the ability, change all the written materials involving Dajiang City in the entire city! Even an intelligent robot like Old Ge couldn't complete it without ten or twenty years… Jiang Baimian mumbled twice, took a breath, and said:

"We will continue to collect information and complete the confirmation later."

Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to respond, she pointed to Dajiang City Elite Junior High School:

"Let's go in and explore."

With the experience of Taicheng No. 1 High School, the four members of the "Old Task Force" didn't enter at the same time, but were divided into two teams, led by Jiang Baimian and Shang Jianyao.

After confirming that they were fine, Bai Chen and Long Yuehong, wearing military exoskeletons and bionic intelligent armor, carefully jumped over the electric retractable gate and entered the campus.

More than two hours passed in a flash, and they didn't find anything valuable or clues.

The only thing that could be called a gain was that they confirmed through some written materials in the school that the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp was Dajiang City.

"What to do next?" After leaving Elite Junior High School, Long Yuehong looked at Jiang Baimian and asked.

Jiang Baimian had already prepared a draft, and after pondering for a while, she said:

"According to the planned route, continue forward, until we reach the secret laboratory that was blown up by Qiao Chu."

"Why do we still have to go there? Haven't we already achieved our goal?" Long Yuehong asked puzzled.

The purpose of the "Old Task Force's" secret infiltration into the No. 1 Ruins of the Swamp was just to confirm that this was Dajiang City.

And now, they already had the answer.

Jiang Baimian looked at Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen, and said solemnly:

"Because there is something I think is quite coincidental."

"What's the matter?" Bai Chen asked.

Jiang Baimian nodded and said:

"Haven't you noticed? All the places currently related to 'Zhuang Sheng' have a secret laboratory.

"The Fakh District where the Holms Reproductive Medical Center is located has one; Taicheng also has one, the Renhui Hospital Vegetative Rehabilitation Center is not too far from the First High School; this place also has one."

Even closer!

The straight-line distance from Dajiang City Elite Junior High School to the secret laboratory blown up by Qiao Chu would not exceed two kilometers.

"That's right!" Shang Jianyao slapped the side of the "Berserker" assault rifle with his right fist.

Bai Chen followed and nodded:

"This is too coincidental."

And behind coincidence, there is often a certain inevitable connection.

"Indeed." Long Yuehong no longer had any objections.

As the "Old Task Force" continued to move forward, Jiang Baimian mentioned the follow-up arrangements:

"If we don't find any clues in the laboratory ruins, then we will leave here tomorrow, go to the nearby hydropower station, and then look for the last Buddhist sacred place along the river."

The old locust tree at the entrance of Linhe Village, Dajiang City.

Jiang Baimian judged from the name "Dajiang City" and the fact that the hydropower station could still generate electricity in the freezing cold that there was a large river with abundant water volume and turbulent flow near the city ruins that was not easy to freeze.

"Okay." Long Yuehong and the others all expressed their approval.

Walking and walking, seeing the ruins of the secret laboratory in sight, Shang Jianyao suddenly stopped, lowered his voice, and said:

"There are people over there."
