Chapter 174 Secret Contact

Lin Che pushed open the door of the wine cellar and was about to talk to Xiao Ran when an alarm sounded.

Lu Zhao stood at the stairs and whispered, "Infrared triggered, peripheral monitoring of someone approaching. Only one target, coming from the southeast."

Su Wanqing had already packed up the documents, put on her bulletproof vest, and used the intercom to inquire about the alert status.

Xiao Ran checked the surveillance footage and enlarged the picture. Several people in the room looked at the projection with bated breath.

There was a man standing behind the bushes. He was very tall and simply dressed.

He raised his hands above his head, exposing his arms and showing no weapons.

He stood at the edge, nodded to the camera, and whispered: "I am Liming. Only talk, no violence."

Xiao Ran narrowed his eyes, "The scavenger boss came to my door himself?"

He used the intercom to remind the outer sentries not to act rashly.

Su Wanqing didn't say anything and directly ordered: "Stand guard outside the gate from a distance. If he dares to make any unnecessary movements, block him directly. Lin Che goes in to accompany me, Lu Zhao, be ready to interfere with the signal at any time."

A few minutes later, the door slowly opened and Liming stood still. He held a badge in his right hand and raised his left hand to his chest. "I'm here to cooperate, not to hunt you down."

Lin Che stood by, silently watching Li Ming's every move. Su Wanqing walked out with her hands behind her back, her eyes calm.

There were people crouching on both sides of the door, on guard. The four of them stood two meters apart, and Su Wanqing spoke first: "What do you want to talk about?"

Liming handed over the badge in his hand and slowly took out a plastic-sealed certificate and several pages of thick documents.

The document cover reads "Top Secret" and "S-Class Pass", and the inside pages contain some original materials of the Eden Project, as well as several military fingerprint authentications.

Su Wanqing did a quick check without revealing anything in her mind. She leaned over and gave Lu Zhao a look.

Lu Zhao silently scanned the document, compared the fingerprint and number, and sent the data, which was exactly the same as what they had previously researched.

Li Ming said: "I was the security director at the end of the Eden Project. After the problems broke out in the final stage of the project, I led the team to leave. Now the scavenger team is also taken over by me. You think we are hunters, but a lot of what I do is to stop those experimental subjects who are really out of control."

Lin Che frowned. “You cleaned up the scene and took away the dead. Which one of them was not following orders? There were hundreds of names on the Eden documents, but now there are only a few tables left.”

Li Ming's eyes fell on the research record on the table: "I brought more than just proof of identity."

As he spoke, he took out a data report from his bag, which was filled with numerical values ​​and graphs.

"The girl with the childish voice in your hands is sample number X03. When the Eden Project was designed, various element sequences were actually specially selected.

If I am not mistaken, your Lin Che’s energy fluctuations have a special induction relationship with an element index of the girl with the childlike voice. Combining her abilities with Lin Che’s, there is a high probability that a unique neutralizing antibody will be generated that can completely reverse the progression of the virus. ”

Lu Zhao silently opened the research report and read it. He quickly reviewed the long data sequence and said after a moment: "His analysis is consistent with current observations. But the explanation of the principle is not complete. Where did your data come from?"

Liming did not rush to answer, but continued: "There is a hidden sample mechanism in the later period of Eden, and only the planning security master has the authority to encrypt the backup. I have one part here, and the other part is waiting for you to assemble. The scavenger team seems to be independent, but in fact it is to prevent leakage and misuse - the core is isolation."

Su Wanqing was silent for a few seconds. "You came to us not just for 'cooperation'."

Liming lowered his head. "The virus has already mutated in the outer areas. If it continues, ordinary immune serum will not last long. We have the key technology, and you have people and samples - cooperation is the only way out."

The atmosphere in the room became a little tense, and Xiao Ran rubbed his cufflinks with his fingertips.

He suddenly threw a USB drive onto the table. "You guys are cooperating? You scavengers have killed people twice in the southern safety zone. I recovered all this information. You brought a killing team and said you want to help us. Don't you have any other purpose?"

Liming had no expression on his face, and only replied in a low voice: "I can't deny it. Many actions are missions, and it is hard to tell whether they are orders or responsibilities. But I am not representing my superiors today, only myself and this team. If you don't believe me, you can handcuff me at any time."

Xiao Ran flipped the file in his hand and picked out the top photo. "This is the first research institute that failed in the resistance at the southern site three months ago. The bodies were all shot in the back of the head, and the military registration has not been cancelled yet."

Lu Zhao raised his head and said calmly, "But the data he brought is difficult to forge from a technical point of view. Theoretically, it does prove the elemental coupling between Lin Che and the girl. But he only revealed part of the details, so I suggest you stay vigilant."

Su Wanqing sat on the edge of the chair and did not express her opinion immediately, but just memorized every key point.

She flipped through the documents that Liming brought, pulling out a few important ones and looking at them separately.

Lin Che moved to the door and stood in front of the girl's room. "No matter how nicely you speak, don't even think about getting close to her."

Liming stared at Lin Che and said calmly, "I won't touch her. I will only give her data and suggestions. If you want, you can control the entire test phase by yourselves. Our current goals are the same, which is to solve the virus and prevent the situation from completely collapsing."

There was silence in the room for a while. Xiao Ran put his left hand on the edge of the table and said, "You said that your original intention was not to carry out the elimination order. Who can guarantee that the scavenger will not turn against you at the last minute?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Li Ming answered directly: "Every action of the scavenger is recorded in the main control background. I can let you monitor the team channel in real time. If there is any abnormality, you can deal with me immediately."

Su Wanqing still did not relax, and asked slowly: "If we don't cooperate with anything, what are you going to do?"

Liming was very calm. "I will set up a warning zone outside the mountain and will not actively invade. If you need me, feel free to contact me. I will not interfere again." He handed over the wireless channel key and said, "All actions will be transparent. You only need to notify us through the dedicated channel and the scavengers will evacuate immediately."

The girl with a childish voice was leaning against the head of the bed, listening quietly to the argument outside.

Lin Che and Ye were talking quietly in the corner. Ye whispered, "He didn't lie, but he didn't tell the whole story either."

Lu Zhao nodded slightly at the data. "With new data, we can speed up the experiment. But I remind you, be careful not to be fooled. Su Wanqing, you make the decision."

Su Wanqing closed the file and said simply, "We need time to discuss internally. Wait for the signal and then come back to hand over the follow-up materials."

Dawn nodded, leaving all the documents on the table and taking a few steps back.

He walked to the door and pursed his lips. "My team is on the periphery and will not enter the base. If you need anything, feel free to open the channel."

There were only a few people left in the room, with documents and data scattered on the table, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Xiao Ran said coldly: "If this kind of person betrays you, you will bear all the consequences."

Lu Zhao packed up the data packets and whispered a reminder: "There is real information, but he must have a backup plan. If you want to use it, write a plan and don't believe it blindly."

Lin Che was still standing at the door, but her peripheral vision was always protecting the girl.

Su Wanqing looked at the military pass and Eden Project documents on the table, motionless, and deduced various plans in her mind.
