In the corridor on the top floor of the military building.

Wang Xiao knew the principle of retreating in order to advance. Therefore, after leaving, he did not hide at the side and eavesdrop. After all, this method was really not brilliant. It was impossible for the two old foxes, Chen Jinrong and Huang Tingwei, to not be prepared.

As he thought about it and walked towards the elevator, Wang Xiao was trying to connect the known information points. Suddenly, the elevator door quietly opened and Qi Lianjun hurriedly walked out.

The two of them were stunned when they met. In the end, Wang Xiao was the first to react. He quickly adjusted his expression and greeted with a calm expression, “Adjutant Qi! So you’re here. I was looking for you everywhere!”

“You came here quite quickly.”

Qi Lianjun replied teasingly. Then, he frowned in confusion. “Have you seen the commander just now?”

Wang Xiao nodded and turned around to point in the direction of the office. “He seems to be discussing something with our Academy Head. I came out after greeting him.”

Qi Lianjun nodded. “Then wait for me first. I’ll report something to the commander. When I’m done, I’ll bring you to get the things.”

With that said, Qi Lianjun hurriedly entered the office, but he came out in a few minutes.

“Let’s go.”

Qi Lianjun called out and led the way. After the two of them entered the elevator, they pressed the button for the sixth floor.

As the elevator descended, Qi Lianjun instructed in a low voice, “I’ll bring you to the storage room for the items next. Under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to enter that place.”

“However, I’ve just asked the commander for instructions, so you can enter directly. However, you still have to be careful. After entering, don’t look around and don’t ask too many questions. I’ll tell you what to do.”

“Got it.’

Wang Xiao nodded solemnly and suddenly felt a little excited. 𝗳𝐫𝗲𝐞𝘄𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Although he had been to the military building many times, other than the first floor, he had only been to the commander-in-chief’s office on the top floor and the secret facility that was unknown how deep underground.

To Wang Xiao, the other floors were still covered in a mysterious veil, especially this “collection storage room”. It sounded like there were many exotic items. This was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons!

As he thought about it, the elevator had already stopped steadily on the sixth floor.

Wang Xiao immediately perked up. However, just as he widened his eyes and wanted to broaden his horizons, Qi Lianjun suddenly handed him something—

“What does this mean?”

Wang Xiao subconsciously frowned. “I’ve already promised not to ask any questions. Don’t you believe me?”

“I believe you, but that’s the rule.”

Qi Lianjun handed the blindfold and earplugs forward. “Please cooperate.”

Wang Xiao was speechless for a while. In the end, he still took the blindfold and earplugs and put them on. Then, he felt Qi Lianjun hold his hand and gently pull it to signal him to walk forward.

Although the two of them had some unhappiness in the morning, Wang Xiao still trusted Qi Lianjun quite a bit. After receiving the instructions, he stepped forward without hesitation. At the same time, doubts surged in his heart.

If the purpose of wearing an eye mask was to keep the surroundings a secret, what was the purpose of the earplugs? Could it be that the confiscated items here could still make a sound? Or could there be any living creatures here?

While thinking in his mind, Wang Xiao also divided a portion of his energy to memorize the route. It was not that he had any thoughts about these confiscated items, but it was purely an instinctive reaction.

Although his vision and hearing had been deprived, Wang Xiao still walked the path himself. With his body’s senses, he could roughly outline the route in his mind. However, as he walked, he realized that something was wrong.

After exiting the elevator, they walked straight for about 20 meters. After turning left, they walked for 30 meters before turning to the right. They then turned left and right. Moreover, after every turn, they walked for about 30 meters.

This route appeared in Wang Xiao’s mind. It was a flat floor with many rooms that were around 30 meters square. Although the layout was a little strange, it was generally still within the normal range.

Wang Xiao discovered the abnormality after the seventeenth turn.

The seventeenth turn was to the left. According to his previous experience, he should walk straight for 30 meters before turning right.

However, Wang Xiao had just walked less than ten meters after turning the corner when Qi Lianjun, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped.

At first, Wang Xiao thought that he had arrived and did not care much, but Qi Lianjun only patted his calf and continued walking.

Wang Xiao, who did not understand, could only continue to follow him. He did not expect to miss a step!

A strong sense of weightlessness instantly rushed into his brain, but it was confirmed in less than half a second. Wang Xiao was subconsciously stunned and suddenly realized that this feeling was a little familiar— “Are we going downstairs?”

Wang Xiao could not help but ask. After saying that, he remembered that he was still wearing earplugs. Even if Qi Lianjun really answered, he still could not hear him.

However, even without Qi Lianjun’s answer, the rest of the journey could confirm Wang Xiao’s guess. After all, it was really difficult not to recognize the feeling of walking down the stairs.

After descending more than ten steps, he made another 180-degree turn and repeated it eight more times.

Wang Xiao frowned slightly under the blindfold, and the doubts in his heart became even stronger.

Logically speaking, they should have gone down about four floors. However, if the “confiscated goods storage room” was on the second floor, why did they ask to walk down from the sixth floor? Was there no entrance to this place on the second floor?

As he was thinking, Wang Xiao felt his earplugs being removed. Then, Qi Lianjun’s voice sounded. “We’re here. Take off your blindfold.”

“Okay.”

Wang Xiao agreed and took off his blindfold. He discovered that they had

already entered a small room about ten square meters.

There were metal walls on all four sides of the room, and only a closed door behind it. In the middle of the room was a two-meter square table, and one of Lan Dahai’s metal boxes was placed on it.

“Adjutant Qi, since there’s such a rule, wasn’t it a little redundant for you to ask me not to look at it previously?”

Wang Xiao raised his eye mask and teased. He turned around and saw that Qi Lianjun was also holding an eye mask in his hand. At this moment, he was pulling out an earplug from his ear.

Wang Xiao immediately felt that his brain was not enough. If Qi Lianjun was also wearing an eye mask and earplugs, did that mean that he had walked such a long distance in the dark just now?

Before Wang Xiao could figure it out, Qi Lianjun had already taken out two earplugs. He glanced at Wang Xiao and asked in confusion, “What did you say just now? I didn’t hear it.”

“I said…’

Wang Xiao was about to repeat himself when he realized that there was no need. Then, he pointed at the box on the table and changed his words. “That’s for me, right?”

Qi Lianjun nodded and picked up a registration form from the table. ‘You can check it first. If there’s no problem, sign here and you can take it away.”

“Thank you in advance!”

Wang Xiao chuckled and quickly stepped forward. However, just as he lifted the lid of the box, he was dumbfounded.. There was actually nothing inside!
