Chapter 382 Strange Visitors

Cory brought Carlo to a secluded rural area in the western outskirts of Oceanvile. Looking at the vast expanse of wheat fields, Carlo couldn’t help but exclaim, “Aaron, who would have thought that the globally renowned wheat research facility would be located on the remote outskirts of Oceanvile if it weren’t for the higher official’s guidance?”

“Call me Sir!” Cory gave Carlo a disdainful glance, his face full of disgust. They had grown up together since childhood, and he was about the same age as Carlo.

He was a few months younger than Carlo and was selected to join the Duncans earlier than Carlo, so he was named Cory and enjoyed more respect.

If it weren’t for the summoning of Branden, he wouldn’t be willing to meet Carlo in Oceanvile. Carlo wanted to say a few words but was interrupted by Cory coldly.

“Okay, let’s find the person first and complete the task immediately!”

He didn’t want to continue to endure the endless ramblings of Carlo. If given the choice, he would rather choose Paxton over Carlo.

Unfortunately, Paxton closely followed the boss and could not leave freely. He could only make do with teaming up with Carlo and striving to settle everything,quickly, aiming for a swift victory.

The two walked to the end of the path and came across an older man wearing a white shirt who was diligently farming with a few young people.

Cory had been responsible for intelligence collection. He recognized the other party at a glance as he had seen Randolph’s photo.

“Randolph Dunn, senior Ph.D. in biology and the only student of Dr. Seven!”

Upon hearing Cory’s introduction, Carlo narrowed his eyes and scrutinized the older man. “He disguised himself well. If you hadn’t introduced him, I would have thought he was leading the farming here!”

“Let’s go for a look over there!”

The two walked together and came before Randolph.

“Dr. Dunn!”

Upon hearing someone call his name, Randolph turned around and instinctively protected the students behind him. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

From Randolph’s actions, Cory read the information and knew that the other party was aware of the news and on alert, prompting him to declare his identity immediately.

“Dr. Dunn, we are here on behalf of the official.”

At this moment, Randolph’s tense nerves relaxed a bit. He turned to the students behind him and said, ” Everyone, go to the lab and look closely at the data!”

After the students had dispersed, Randolph carefully scrutinized the visitors. Noticing the doubt in Randolph’s eyes, Cory dialed the higher official’s number and handed it over to him. Randolph exchanged simple words to confirm their identities and then glanced at the two.

“Follow me, please.”

The two followed Randolph to his residence. As they passed a small courtyard, Carlo suddenly noticed something peculiar and said to Cory, ” Aaron, take a look at this nice little cottage. There’s even an electronic lock at the entrance. Rural development nowadays sure is advanced!”

Upon hearing these words, Cory carefully surveyed the building that Carlo had described, and indeed, it appeared especially pleasing to the eye.

Although there was nothing particularly dazzling about its appearance, it made people feel uniquely comfortable at first glance.

When he noticed the two staring at the small courtyard, Randolph’s face slightly darkened as he warned in a low voice, “Gentlemen, this is an experimental research base. Please follow the rules of our base and refrain from looking around!”

Carlo was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect that even a glance wasn’t allowed. Cory remained calm and immediately apologized to Randolph.

“Dr. Dunn, please excuse us. We will comply with the regulations of the base. Randolph was a rare professional talent of Zerwick who devoted his life to serving the nation and contributing to his career for the benefit of humanity.

Besides, this was a core experimental base where countless secrets might be hidden.

“If it were not to protect Dr. Seven, the higher official would not have exposed the address of the experimental base. Therefore, it was understandable for Dr. Dunn to be cautious.

“Despite the seemingly rural attire of this elderly gentleman, who dedicated his entire life to this field, one can be certain that his mindset is exceedingly calm and his actions incredibly cautious,” said Cory inwardly.

The sudden arrival of the two caused some concern for Randolph. He did not have time to inform Catherine and was unsure if she would be discovered. He discreetly glanced at the small courtyard, but his action did not escape the notice of Cory and Carlo.

This excited their interest in the courtyard even more. They didn’t know who lived in the courtyard or what was hidden inside. Randolph hastened his pace and arrived at the residence with the two to avoid any potential trouble.

“Please have a seat!”

Although Randolph was esteemed as a top-notch scientific researcher, his lifestyle was remarkably simple, and his humble abode reflected this.

“Feel free to ask whatever you want, but please leave as soon as you’re done. I am busy all day and don’t have time to entertain you both!”

Cory and Carlo locked eyes briefly, and Carlo, the talkative one, asked the question. After inquiring for a long time, he obtained no helpful information.

Whenever it came to any news related to Dr. Seven, Randolph always claimed to be completely ignorant.

“Dr. Dunn, I am curious about how you and Dr. Seven communicate with each other.”

After a moment of hesitation, Randolph decided it would be better to provide some information to let the two give up.

“Unlike me, my teacher is not constantly stationed at the base. Her whereabouts are difficult to ascertain, and the duration of her visits is also uncertain. Sometimes, she stays for three to five months, while other times, it is merely for three to five days. It has always been the teacher who seeks me out, and I have no way of contacting her!”

“Haven’t you contacted her even once in so many years?” Carlo couldn’t believe it.

Randolph calmly replied, “That’s right. My teacher is a mysterious expert. Whenever the base needs her, she will appear automatically without me contacting her!

“That’s all I can say!”

He spread his hands out, assuming a posture that indicated he wanted to drive the two away. Carlo was just about to leave. Before he could say anything, Cory suddenly grabbed hold of him.

“Dr. Dunn, we have received information that people from Asmein have already discovered this place. They may infiltrate here in the next few days. For the safety of you and the students, we would like to stay here for two days until reinforcements for protection arrive from the higher official, and then we will hit the road again!”

Randolph’s face became highly embarrassed. After asking a few questions, he thought they would leave, but he did not expect them to want to stay.

“If what they say is true, what should I do with my students if I don’t allow them to stay?” wondered he.

Cory had a keen insight into people’s hearts. He immediately sensed Dr. Dunn’s hesitation and said, “Dr. Dunn, rest assured that we will not interfere with or disturb your work. We promise to abide by the rules here.”

“The safety of students and the base is of utmost importance. They would only stay for two days,” thought Randolph. After a short period of consideration, he made a decision.

“Fine. You may stay here for two days. Remember, do not wander around without my permission. If you do, I will promptly raise my objections to the higher official!”

Carlo and Cory both nodded in agreement.

After Dr. Dunn dropped them off at their residence and no one else was around, Carlo spoke up in a low voice. ” Cory, what are you doing? Aren’t we supposed to find Dr. Seven? The boss didn’t give us much time.”
