I painted an aircraft carrier on the courtyard house for Dongda University.

After waiting for a long time, the door remained tightly closed. Zhou Weiguo then carefully examined the room. A European-style chandelier hung overhead, and gilded patterns meandered across the off-white walls. If it weren't for the handcuffs attached to the iron bed frame, he would almost have thought he had been rescued.

His gaze locked onto the dangling handcuffs, Zhou Weiguo attempted to store them in his spatial storage. In an instant, the metal shackles binding him vanished into thin air.

He immediately stood up, but a wave of dizziness washed over him, making it difficult to even stand. Suddenly remembering the potion he had just obtained, he quickly took it out of his spatial storage.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally decided that my life was more important and I had to take the plunge. Without thinking twice, I drank it down. I don’t know if it was just psychological, but I instantly felt my abdomen warm up and my strength gradually returned.

He then hurriedly searched every drawer in the room. Apart from an old-fashioned mechanical watch and an unopened pack of cigarettes, there was nothing else of any use.

I tentatively turned the doorknob, and with a "click," the door opened.

Outside the door was a dark, long corridor. He walked forward quietly, and just as he turned the corner at the end of the corridor, two heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared before him. Zhou Weiguo abruptly retreated, fortunately, the floor was on the first floor.

He went around in a big circle and finally arrived outside the building.

Climbing to the window, the sight inside made his pupils shrink—Teacher Wu was sitting opposite a foreigner in a suit and tie.

"Wu, I never expected to meet you here again." The foreigner raised his whiskey and swirled it gently. "The time at the University of Florida feels like yesterday; we even played soccer together."

With a forced smile, Teacher Wu straightened his back and said, "James, could you please arrange for a doctor to treat my student? I haven't seen him since we were arrested."

"Of course, leave it to me."

James's lips curled into a meaningful smile. "But Wu, it's so much better for you to do research in Florida. Why are you going against us? Doesn't America treat you well enough? A scholar like you should stay away from politics."

"It's not that America is bad," Teacher Wu shook her head, clenching her fist, "it's just that my motherland is still suffering."

"Science knows no borders, Wu, you shouldn't be so narrow-minded."

James shook his head. "Helping that backward country will do you no good."

"Science has no borders, but scientists do!"

Teacher Wu suddenly stood up. "James, no matter how backward my country may be, it's still the place that gave me birth and nurtured me. If you continue to insult me, even a scholar like me has backbone!"

James sneered, "How much is courage worth? Wu, you need to face reality. If your Xia Kingdom doesn't obey, sooner or later we'll have to subdue it. Alright, I need to get ready to greet Commander Li. You should know him, right? How about I arrange for someone to take you with me?"

Finally, Teacher Wu shook her head helplessly, pushed open the door, and left.

After he walked away, James chuckled and said to his subordinates who came in, "That useless yellow-skinned monkey doesn't deserve to waste medical resources. Let his student fend for himself. Also, headquarters just sent a large batch of special weapons. When the commander arrives, have them all airdropped to Tieyuan. I don't want these things sitting in my base for too long. This time, I must make a good impression on the commander and make the other side beg for mercy. Oh, and keep a close eye on Wu, but don't restrict his movements. He's still useful. Oh, and of course, don't let him leave the base."

Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised because he didn't know what kind of special weapon was being valued so much by this person. He was delighted because it seemed that someone important was coming, which would give him a chance to send off a patriotic scientist like Professor Wu!

Hurriedly catching up with Teacher Wu, Zhou Weiguo found a hidden air-raid shelter.

The door was tightly shut, and guards stood watch at the entrance, making it impossible to get close. Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to first scout out the perimeter of the base.

After circling the base, he found it heavily guarded, surrounded by barbed wire, with only two exits, one to the north and one to the south. The underground facilities near the south exit were filled with oil drums, which he secretly filled with most of them using his spatial storage. The farthest north exit had a weak point in its defenses, which he secretly created by using his spatial storage to cut a gap in the fence.

He sneaked back into James's office and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, stuffed all the documents in the drawer, the pistol, the information in the safe, and some other odds and ends into his pocket.

When he returned to the basement, the guards had already left, leaving only someone monitoring from a distance. He first carefully checked the entire basement, and after confirming it was safe, he immediately drew his pistol to prevent any accidents.

He took a deep breath, revealed himself, and slowly walked to Teacher Wu's door, raising his hand to knock.

The moment the door opened, Mr. Wu's eyes widened in shock, and he stood frozen in place. Then, he excitedly grabbed Zhou Weiguo's hands, his voice trembling: "Weiguo, you're alright? That's great, you're alright, hahaha, James still has some compassion..." His words trailed off, Mr. Wu's gaze fixed on the gun in Zhou Weiguo's hand, his mind seemingly going blank for a moment.

Before the other person could continue, Zhou Weiguo lowered his voice and said urgently, "The guards outside are monitoring you from a distance. I just overheard their leader saying that they won't follow you closely, they'll just keep an eye on you from afar. At two o'clock, you absolutely must find an excuse to go to the North Gate alone. There's a gap in the fence 50 meters west of the North Gate. As soon as you hear an explosion from the base, don't look back, run as fast as you can towards the northwest. This is your only chance, do you understand?"

Teacher Wu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and immediately shook her head in refusal: "How can I abandon my students and run away? If we die, we die together!"

Zhou Weiguo raised his hand to his forehead, his voice filled with exhaustion and determination: "Teacher Wu, you must take this foreigner's deployment map and deliver it to the organization no matter what. Remember, you must be at the place I told you about by 2 PM at the latest. As soon as the explosion happens, don't worry about anything, just run!" After saying that, he ignored Teacher Wu's reaction and turned to leave.

Finally, Zhou Weiguo focused his attention on the large warehouse in the center of the base. In the middle of the huge square, someone was setting up a stage.

The main door of the warehouse was tightly closed, but a small door next to it, only wide enough for one person to pass through at a time, was open.

On both sides, fully armed soldiers stood guard like statues.

He held his breath, his steps as light as a cat's, and carefully slipped inside.

The moment he stepped into the warehouse, his pupils dilated sharply. Before him, countless large crates were piled up like mountains; on the other side, all sorts of weapons were neatly arranged, their cold metallic gleam exuding a menacing aura. He cautiously circled the warehouse, and only after confirming that there were no soldiers did his tense nerves relax slightly.

He casually grabbed a crowbar from the side and deftly pried open the box to inspect the goods.

When you encounter something good, you naturally tighten all your space.

After more than half an hour, his strength was finally almost exhausted. He dragged his tired body to the area where the shells were most densely packed and piled all the oil drums he was carrying in the center.

Just then, he seemed to hear the sound of a helicopter, and shook his head to stop himself from thinking wildly. He quickly grabbed two boxes of grenades from the foreigner's watch and put them into the shell pile.

This was a last resort; to ensure that Teacher Wu could escape successfully, he had to create a large enough commotion to attract fire.

With his teeth, he pried open the safety pins of four grenades and threw them into the box without hesitation. Just before the explosion, he dodged into the space.

However, he didn't realize that in the darkest corner of the warehouse, there was another room hidden. Inside, it was also filled with boxes, each with a conspicuous yellow label printed on its side.

P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
