Chu Han did his best to keep his face hidden as he followed closely behind them. Beyond the first passageway, entering the research institute required passing through several more doors, each of which needed a fingerprint to open. Nandu Base's research institute was built to a remarkably advanced standard. Research members of different ranks had different access permissions. For example, Chen Zhen, the guard Chu Han had replaced, could only use his fingerprint to open several doors leading into the institute; he had no permission to enter the core area.
