My Chip that Disguises Itself as a Cell

“Let’s go up the mountain.” Su Yan took the lead and walked quickly into the forest. Lin Zhendong followed immediately.

Before leaving, he glanced at the driver curiously and found that the driver had only turned around and rested in the car.

Climbing over mountains and ridges was not difficult for people these days. It was only slightly more tiring than running on flat roads.

Therefore, not long after, the two arrived at the mountain’s top with calm expressions.

Lin Zhendong looked around and didn’t find anything special. As he was about to ask, Su Yan threw him a jade token and shouted, “Follow me.”

It was a purple jade token with a bauhinia flower carved on it. It was obviously the symbol of the Bauhinia Legion.

Lin Zhendong lowered his head and played with the jade token as he subconsciously followed a few steps. Then, the chip suddenly gave him a notification.

Lin Zhendong was stunned when he looked up.

This was because the ordinary mountain peak had turned into a huge, flat, rocky land that covered hundreds of acres.

In the middle of this rocky land stood a four-story pyramid that occupied at least eight acres. It was green and more than twenty meters tall.

Lin Zhendong groaned, “Oh my god! Wood element four-story pyramid! This is a second-class lair!”

When he came to his senses, he hurriedly asked Su Yan, who was looking at it calmly with her arms crossed, “Sister Su Yan, what’s going on?”

“Nothing. It’s just that the barrier master has cast a barrier. Only with the jade token of our Bauhinia Legion can you enter the barrier,” Su Yan explained.

“No, Sis, why didn’t the Special Protection Department discover such a second-class lair in Zilong County? This is too much of a dereliction of duty!” Lin Zhendong was still shocked.

“Oh, so that’s what you’re asking. It’s still about the barrier.”

“Back then, when we discovered this lair, we cast a barrier and directly broke through it.”

“The reason why the people within a radius of dozens of kilometers couldn’t hear the sound of glass breaking when the lair shattered was naturally due to the barrier,” Su Yan said casually.

Lin Zhendong’s heart trembled. A second-class lair, how could they break through it just like that?

And what the hell was this barrier? It could actually block the search of the Special Protection Department and cover up the sound of glass shattering when the lair was broken through.

After all, the sound of glass shattering affected the human brain.

No known facility could stop it! Now, it was actually blocked by a barrier?

More importantly, it could block the scanning of the chip in his brain!

The barrier of a barrier master could actually disable the chip’s scanning function?

This Bauhinia Legion was definitely many times more powerful than he had imagined!

As he was thinking and walking on the rocky ground, he subconsciously looked at the rocks on the ground. He could not help but frown when he saw that these rocks of different sizes were very strange.

“Sister, what are these rocks? Didn’t they say that after the lair is destroyed, the area will be flat, and only the lair will be left?” Lin Zhendong asked curiously.

“Oh, these stones are the materials for the floors in the lair. Previously, when I was finding Snow Jade Lotus, I dismantled the internal structure of the lair and threw them away with a sieve,” Su Yan said casually.

These words gave Lin Zhendong a huge shock.

There were a lot of videos on the internet of the government clearing out useless lairs.

The first-class lairs were directly blasted with a large number of explosives, while second-class lairs were slowly ground down with impact drills, hammers, claw machines, and other machinery.

Without a lot of manpower, resources, and time, it was impossible to clear a second-class lair.

As a result, on Su Yan’s side, it seemed like there were only a few people, but they were able to solve a problem that would have taken several months and involved hundreds or even thousands of people in just one go.

He knew that the gap was huge, but he did not expect it to be so huge.

While he was sighing with emotion, a sound suddenly came from the huge, pitch-black entrance of the pyramid on the first floor.

He looked up and saw a dozen men in black tights, carrying sabers on their backs and wearing hoods. They were escorting a burly man who was almost two meters tall.

The other men in black bowed in unison. The burly man grinned and waved at Lin Zhendong with a smile. “Hahaha, Treasure Hunting Mouse, you’re finally here! Welcome, welcome!”

“This is my partner, nicknamed Xiao Ye. His appearance should have been printed on the wanted list all over Riverside City,” Su Yan introduced.

Lin Zhendong smacked his lips. He really wasn’t sure about this matter. However, according to Li Zhi’s swift and decisive personality, it should be as Su Yan said.

Seeing that they did not seem to care about the arrest warrant, he did not know if they did not care because they were powerful or had other ways to hide from others.

Lin Zhendong had the chip scan them.

The result was not surprising at all. The big man nicknamed Xiao Ye: [The target is kind. Strength: A.]

Then, the men in black: [The target is kind. Strength: C.]

Looking at these signs, Lin Zhendong simply decided to give up. He couldn’t beat any of them anyway.

“Haha, cut out the courtesy. We’re in a hurry.”

“Let’s go. I’ll bring you in to find Snow Jade Lotus!”

“Don’t just stand there. Hurry up and go in to light up!”

Xiao Ye started shouting loudly.

The man in black rushed into the dark doorway. Lin Zhendong was caught by Xiao Ye’s big hand as if he was a child. He was carried into the doorway.

It was pitch black before, but suddenly, a dozen daylight lights lit up in all directions.

The darkness was instantly dispelled.

Lin Zhendong looked at everything in front of him speechlessly.

The pyramid occupied an area of eight acres. A huge pit of about seven acres and three meters deep had been dug into the ground on the first floor.

Moreover, all the layers between the floors had been torn down, and the first to fourth floors had become a whole space.

To put it simply, the entire second-class four-story pyramid of wood elements was only an outer shell left, and there was nothing inside.

As long as the outer shell was removed, it would be equivalent to directly dismantling the lair.

Moreover, it was the kind that dug three meters into the ground. It could directly carry out farming, animal husbandry, and fishing work.

“You guys still haven’t found Snow Jade Lotus?” Lin Zhendong was conflicted.

The moment he entered the lair, the chip had already marked out all the treasures hidden in the pyramid.

Looking at those places, Lin Zhendong could not help but wonder if their luck was too bad.

Xiao Ye curled her lips. “I even suspect there’s no Snow Jade Lotus in this place. It’s no different from plowing through it. But Su Yan insists that there must be Snow Jade Lotus in this place.”

“If you didn’t come, I would have taken off the shell and filtered it with a sieve.”

Lin Zhendong looked at the silent Su Yan and said hesitantly, “Uh, there are indeed treasures here, but I don’t know if it’s the Snow Jade Lotus.”

“Eh? You actually discovered it immediately? Where was it? Find it quickly!” Xiao Ye was excited.

“Little brother, go ahead and look for it. I won’t blame you if you can’t find it in the end.” Su Yan promised solemnly.

“Give me a digging tool.” Lin Zhendong nodded and extended his hand.

“Forget about the tools!” Xiao Ye immediately said, “Show me the suspected location. I’ll dig it up!”

Lin Zhendong was about to nod when Su Yan stopped him. “Don’t. Finding treasures depends on luck! Don’t get involved. Find a tool and give it to him quickly!”

Xiao Ye’s entire body stiffened when he heard that.

Then, he scratched his head and looked left and right. Finally, his eyes lit up, and he waved at the man in black closest to him. “Give him your sword!”

The man in black immediately took off his saber and handed it over.

Lin Zhendong looked at the saber and then at the crowd. He held the saber helplessly and jumped into the three-meter-deep pit.

He walked all the way to the other side, jumped into the pit, and then pulled out his sword and started digging at the corner of the wall.
