Opening her eyes, Qi Xue found that she was locked in a closed room.

The room was very small, with only one bed and one bathroom. It looked like a single cell.

"What...what is this place? Why do those villagers want to arrest me?"

Qi Xue was a little scared. She had long heard that remote mountain villages had poor traffic and the villagers were xenophobic.

Qingquan Village, is it a xenophobic village? What will they do when faced with an outsider like themselves?

Qi Xue couldn't imagine it.

Qi Xue's hands and feet were tied with thick hemp ropes. No matter how hard she struggled, it was of no avail.

Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, be calm.

Qi Xue forced herself to calm down and searched around the room, hoping to find something sharper to cut the hemp rope.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door, Qi Xue quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be dizzy.

Zila~~

Some rusty iron doors were pushed open, and the person walked up to Qi Xue with a breeze.

Qi Xue's heartbeat began to accelerate, and her heart was full of panic.

"Xue'er, stop pretending, your godfather knows you're awake."

Hearing the familiar voice, Qi Xue immediately opened her eyes.

Bai Ying appeared in front of Qi Xue with a pale face.

"Godfather!"

Even after knowing the truth, Qi Xue still felt attached to Bai Ying in her heart.

The Qi family used to be unhappy, and Qi Xue's parents often quarreled, but Bai Ying was always the best person to Qi Xue.

Until now, Qi Xue still has luck in her heart.

Bai Ying must have been forced to make a big mistake.

"Godfather, why are you here?"

"This sentence, my godfather should ask you why you came to Qingquan Village."

"Godfather, something big has happened to the group... Bai Sheng has been arrested, the whole group is in chaos, and I can't contact you."

"How do you know Qingquan Village?"

Bai Ying was still struggling with this issue.

"Before, your driver once said that he often took you to Beishan for fishing. Although the driver didn't know Qingquan Village, I accidentally heard you discussing Qingquan Village once, so... I came over to have a look."

"Then, did you reveal Qingquan Village to others?"

Qi Xue shook her head.

"Godfather, help me untie the rope quickly. I want to leave here. There are still many things in the group waiting for me to deal with. Godfather, please go back with me."

"Xue'er, the group... is hopeless. Just stay here for a few days. When your godfather arranges everything, he will take you out of China."

"What! Godfather, you are leaving China."

"When the time comes, we will live in country r."

Bai Ying and Qi Xue still have a bit of a father-daughter relationship.

After untying Qi Xue, Bai Ying planned to leave this place.

"Xue'er, your food and drink will be prepared for you. Just stay here with peace of mind. When everything is over, I will take you out of here."

Looking at Bai Ying's back, Qi Xue still couldn't hide the bitterness in her heart and asked: "Godfather, did my dad... really die of illness?"

Bai Ying's eyes were cold, but when he turned around, his eyes returned to kindness.

"Of course, your father had problems with his cultivation back then, which resulted in damage to his organs. He... died of illness."

"...Godfather, thank you for taking care of me all these years."

Baiying took a deep look at Qi Xue and closed the iron door.

…………

After coming out of Qingquan Village, Yang Lin wanted to get back in the car first.

But when Yang Lin returned, not only was the car gone, but Qi Xue was also missing.

Due to the muddy weather, there were still many footprints on the ground.

Yang Lin frowned slightly and immediately took out his cell phone.

Sure enough, there is a problem in this village.

Just now, Yang Lin sneaked into Qingquan Village invisibly and discovered a lot of doubts.

Although there are people living in the houses in the village, most of them are young adults.

How could there be no old people in such a remote village? The village was full of young adults. This was too suspicious.

Not only are there no elderly people in the village, there are also very few children and women.

Not only that, the farm tools in every household were rusty.

I would like to ask, in such a remote village, if the villagers do not farm, how will they make a living?

Yang Lin originally wanted to knock a villager unconscious and take him away for questioning.

But when I thought of Han Yue's warning, I decided to go back first.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xue disappeared.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Lin took out the patrol disk and searched for Qi Xue's traces.

It's strange that the patrol disk can't find Qi Xue's whereabouts, and only shows a calm lake.

"It's strange... It stands to reason that Qi Xue should be nearby. The distance is so close. Even if Qi Xue has a hidden aura prop on her body, the patrol board can still find her location, unless... she is underground."

The lake shown on the inspection board was the one Yang Lin had seen just now, which was located in the back hill of Qingquan Village.

Yang Lin came to the lake invisibly and searched around, but found nothing suspicious.

"Is it at the bottom of the lake?"

In order not to alert others, Yang Lin chose to slowly dive into the lake.

The lake water was extremely cold, and even Yang Lin felt a little uncomfortable.

The bottom of the lake was even darker, and Yang Lin could not see anything.

Continuing to swim at the bottom of the lake, a strange light suddenly caught Yang Lin's attention.

Yang Lin approached the light and saw an elevator.

That's right, there is an elevator in the corner at the bottom of the lake.

The lake here is more than ten meters deep, but the elevator goes straight to the bottom of the lake.

"There is indeed a problem."

Yang Lin's eyes flashed with excitement.

Unexpectedly, the secret base of country R was actually hidden underwater. No wonder Han Yue sent people to investigate for so long and found no clues.

The demon tree - the human-faced fruit tree, should be in the base.

Before Team Zero could kill them, Yang Lin decided to steal the Human Face Fruit Tree first, and if possible, get the research information on the evolutionary potion.

Keep diving.

With Yang Lin's current physical condition, holding his breath underwater for half an hour is just like playing.

Searching along the elevator, Yang Lin found a huge iron door at the bottom of the lake.

It is obviously unrealistic to destroy the iron gate underwater.

After determining the location of the secret base, Yang Lin began to search everywhere.

For such a big secret base, there must be vents.

Since there is nothing at the bottom of the lake, Yang Lin can only go up to look for it.

As soon as his head emerged from the water, Yang Lin saw three men in black armed with rifles patrolling.

After becoming invisible, Yang Lin followed along and discovered the underground entrance to the secret base.

The entrance is a small cave, which should be the vent of the underground base.

Although you can enter the secret base, the entrance is not wide and there are various fans along the way, making it really difficult for ordinary people to enter.

But Yang Lin is not an ordinary person. Sneaking in through the vent is just a little troublesome for him.

The entire secret base is very hidden.

The entrance is underwater and can only be accessed by taking an elevator.

The elevator entrance is in an above-ground building and is always guarded. It would be very difficult for Yang Lin to sneak in.

But this ventilation tunnel is easier to sneak into.
