161 Inspection

◎I want you to enter the first zone◎

When the people from Huo Wenxi arrived at the garbage dump, the church had disappeared. There were no cameras in the area, and even the robots that cleaned up the garbage were rare.

According to the few witnesses, there seemed to be a church nearby. "Most of it is buried in a garbage dump. It's eerie and spooky. Who would dare to go there?"

The approximate location was determined based on Zhu Ning's memory and the description of the witnesses, but tons of garbage were pouring down, and it would probably take a day to dig it out, and there might not be any clues underneath.

After Zhu Ning came down from the cloud of consciousness, she had complete control over her data-related abilities. She had become accustomed to using her brain as a computer. After connecting it to a printer, she could even print out her memories.

The Abnormal Events Team intercepted nearby surveillance footage, most of which was damaged. After continuous tracking, they found several people who matched Zhu Ning's description.

A woman appeared on the screen, wearing a burgundy trench coat and neat short hair. She deliberately avoided the camera, and the blurry camera only captured her profile, making it completely unrecognizable.

Zhu Ning: "It's her."

This was the person she saw in Bao Ruiming's memory, but unfortunately she couldn't see his face clearly in her memory.

This reminded Zhu Ning of the characteristics of the statue. Even if you've seen it before, it's always difficult to recall the details, and you might not even be able to recognize it if you see it again.

Huo Wenxi was very steady and didn't react even when the clue was lost. Zhu Ning suspected that she had her own way of tracking.

Zhu Ning helped her point out the target, a woman with short hair and red clothes. This information was enough for Huo Wenxi.

Huo Wenxi has already locked onto her, and it is only a matter of time before he finds her.

The Huo family has been taken over by demon hunters, and someone has subsequently cleaned up the battlefield. The analysis report on those rotting corpses has not yet come out.

Zhu Ning was taken to the Abnormal Events Team Office of the Cleaning Center. For Zhu Ning, the Cleaning Center is the safest place now.

Zhu Ning was soaked all over and could only wear Huo Wenxi's spare clothes. Huo Wenxi's clothes were simple and textured. Zhu Ning was taller than her, so the sleeves were a bit short for her.

Zhu Ning changed into a black coat. When she was done, she looked in the mirror and saw that she looked very similar to herself in the video, the "original owner" she had always referred to.

She is becoming more and more like the original owner.

Zhu Ning's nerves were slightly damaged, and Zhuang Lin prepared a healing agent for her, but she still felt dizzy when walking.

Zhu Ning walked out of the bathroom and felt a discomfort on his butt as soon as he sat on the sofa. Then he pulled out a folder.

This is worthy of being Huo Wenxi's office, it's so messy that it makes people frown.

The sky was getting light, and the clean and cold morning light shone into Huo Wenxi's office.

Zhu Ning sat alone in the office, feeling a little uncomfortable as he hadn't been to work for a long time. Outside, people were coming and going, someone was constantly making phone calls, and someone else was having an impromptu meeting. Team member Huo Wenxi was still asleep when his team leader called him to work overtime.

The information Zhu Ning had passed on was enough to keep them busy for a month, but unfortunately, it was only a month away.

Nine days. Zhu Ning got a headache when he thought of these two words. After nine days, the gods would descend. They didn’t know the location, only the time.

What will it be then?

The end of the world? The complete destruction of Area 103? How will God descend?

The "original owner" must have restarted himself to gain an advantage. Did Zhu Ning seize the opportunity? She was not sure at all.

To be honest, this matter has far exceeded Zhu Ning's understanding. What can she do if such a day really comes?

Stopping the meteorite from falling can only happen in the cloud of consciousness, and she can't do anything.

I might as well just run for my life, but then I realized I only had a few days left to live, so I decided to find a good place with good feng shui and watch the end of the world come.

Zhu Ning tried to contact Xu Meng and Liu Niannian, but no one, including Shanmao and Daju, could be contacted, so she couldn't determine whether they were alive or dead.

With Bobcat around, Xu Meng's safety should be fine, but I don't know what happened to Liu Niannian. She was able to buy herself some time, and later gave Zhu Ning directions. She must have been discovered by her brother.

Zhu Ning was not worried that a young lady would die, but he felt that the Lu family was such a perverted place, and he had no idea what Liu Niannian would have to endure.

Zhu Ning made a note in her heart that she owed Liu Niannian a favor and would definitely repay it when she had the chance.

She sent a message to Song Zhizhang and Lin Xiaofeng to let them know she was safe. If she hadn't been busy, she would have gone back in person to give Lin Xiaofeng a surprise.

Based on Zhu Ning's understanding of Lin Xiaofeng, she must be very scared.

After Zhu Ning sent the message, Lin Xiaofeng should have been guarding the deputy brain and immediately replied: Waiting for you to come back.

What a good little girl.

Zhu Ning could feel Lin Xiaofeng's excitement even with her eyes closed. Regardless of whether the end of the world had come or not, she had at least fulfilled the promise she had made to Lin Xiaofeng.

Song Zhizhang was very slow in replying to the message, and it took him a full five minutes. I don’t know if he didn’t see it or was still choosing his words.

In the end, he replied with only four words: Waiting for you to come back.

Have these two people discussed the copywriting?

Zhu Ning smiled, turned off his secondary brain, and leaned his head on Huo Wenxi's sofa.

She was very sleepy and could definitely fall asleep within five minutes, but unfortunately she didn't have time.

Zhu Ning's eyes darkened. Huo Wenxi stopped opposite her. Huo Wenxi had not slept all night. He must have stayed up all night often. He looked more than ten times more energetic than Zhu Ning.

Zhu Ning narrowed her eyes. Huo Wenxi was sitting opposite her. It was a bit like the last time Zhu Ning asked to talk to Huo Wenxi alone, but there was not such a strong sense of oppression.

After this incident, Huo Wenxi has already regarded Zhu Ning as an official member of his investigation team.

Huo Wenxi looked at Zhu Ning for a while longer. She looked pale and in poor spirits. Most of her hostility had been suppressed, like a cheetah taking a rest.

Huo Wenxi thought Zhu Ning's condition just now was quite interesting. It was not something that a simple metal-type mutant could do.

Either Zhu Ning has multiple superpowers, or she has some secrets that she doesn't know about.

Huo Wenxi likes solving puzzles very much. The more complicated Zhu Ning is in her eyes, the more interested she is in him.

Logically, Zhu Ning needed to rest, but Huo Wenxi still had to torment her.

Huo Wenxi handed over a document. "Four people have been confirmed dead so far. We're still trying to contact the others. As for the remaining people, we can't tell if they're alive or dead because they're not employees of the cleaning center."

Zhu Ning shuddered slightly. She had seen death before, including the death of her companions, but at least there would be noise, so you would be mentally prepared.

This time there was nothing. They were already dead when Zhu Ning entered the cloud of consciousness. They died so quietly that they probably didn't even know why they died before they died.

Zhu Ning took the information handed over by Huo Wenxi. The Grey Eagle team was completely wiped out except Cao Wei and Chu Ling.

What is shown in the data is just a set of numbers, but in reality it is a few bloody lives.

Zhu Ning stayed on Liu Zhiwei's page for a long time. Huo Wenxi handed her a photo for her employment ID. Liu Zhiwei showed a particularly bright smile, which reminded her of Cheng Mofei.

Nine years later, similar things are still happening.

Just because of a suspicion, Bao Ruiming killed three members of the Gray Eagle Team.

Bao Ruiming's list contained thirty people in total, four of whom were from the Grey Eagle team, Cao Wei survived, and Chu Ling was not on the list.

Li Nianchuan was not on the list of their cleaning team.

Bao Ruiming did make his choices, but it is impossible to judge on what basis he felt that they were okay.

The remaining half of the assassination list included the names of Shanmao and Xu Meng, as well as some people Zhu Ning didn't know at all, and some of them were not even active employees of the cleaning center. Zhu Ning looked at them one by one.

What was the reason why Bao Ruiming chose them?

Huo Wenxi said: "Liu Zhiwei is a member of the rebel army."

Rebels? Zhu Ning frowned. This was her first time meeting a rebel.

She carefully recalled the missions she had with Liu Zhiwei, and could not sense anything special about him.

There are all kinds of people in the cleaning center. There are spies from Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, and even people from the rebel army are there.

But think about it, the cleaning center is just a company. Its biggest goal is to obtain the contaminated spores. As long as they can purify the contaminated area, the background check is not thorough at all. They are really short of people.

Liu Zhiwei was probably originally a demon hunter and later joined the rebels.

In such a chaotic world, few people can remain immune. Ambitious people choose the path they trust.

Liu Zhiwei died for his beliefs.

Huo Wenxi lit a cigarette, seeming to know Zhu Ning didn't understand, and explained, "The rebels are scattered across the survivor bases. They're trying to overturn the genetic screening system and the hierarchy of human citizens. This is their biggest demand."

Huo Wenxi exhaled a puff of smoke. "The rebels have been secretly investigating the First-Class Citizens. Their membership is very complex. The center has tacitly acknowledged their existence. Bao Ruiming may feel that they will hinder his plans."

It was not only the cleaning center that targeted Bao Ruiming, but also the rebels.

Bao Ruiming is the most loyal believer. He must ensure that no one can stop God's descent, and all obstacles will be eliminated by him in advance.

Huo Wenxi could only notify his employees to take refuge, as many people on the rebel side must have died.

Zhu Ning didn't know what to say for a moment. She fully understood the existence of the rebel army. It would be a relief if this crappy system was overthrown as soon as possible.

The world is not rotten to the core. There are still people resisting. They don't even have names, and no one will know even if they die.

There are some ordinary people who do not belong to any chaebol company and are trying to change the world.

Zhu Ning only listened to Huo Wenxi's two sentences, and the stone that had been pressing on her heart seemed to be moved away a little, allowing her to breathe.

Zhu Ning once said that she had expectations for humanity.

That's what she said to Xuanqing, but it's true.

Huo Wenxi called up another person. "This person was from Xuanqing's team investigating the invisible man. Bao Ruiming also killed him, but the specific reason has not been found."

At least 70% of Bao Ruiming's assassination list are people who are unfavorable to him. There is no way to verify the identities of the remaining 30%, and it has become a mess. The Abnormal Event Team has to sort it out slowly before reporting the results.

There is a lot of information to be mined just from an assassination list.

Huo Wenxi can deduce Bao Ruiming's motive for murder and which camp they belonged to. As long as there is enough time, she can definitely find out the truth.

"This massacre was very well planned." Huo Wenxi flicked the ash off her cigarette on the edge of the ashtray. Her posture was very elegant and her words were neither hurried nor slow. "There were obviously more people sent to kill you. The others were all individual assassinations."

Bao Ruiming has priorities and dispatches different assassins to assassinate different people. If Zhu Ning had not chosen Huo Wenxi as his guardian, it would be difficult to judge whether he is alive or dead now.

Xu Meng was also on the assassination list, but Zhu Ning did not share it with Huo Wenxi. She deliberately concealed the existence of the Cheetah Team. Fortunately, Huo Wenxi did not dwell on this aspect.

Zhu Ning gave her information, and she would give Zhu Ning some convenience in return.

Mutual benefit can go further.

Zhu Ning: "They are very fast. There must be someone cooperating with the cleaning center."

Zhu Ning had seen in Bao Ruiming's memory that almost as soon as he gave the order, they immediately knew the exact location of the body.

There is a dog in Bao Ruiming's team that is good at finding people. If the basis for finding people is DNA, then there is at least a mole in the cleaning center.

Bao Ruiming had contacted the informant, but they did not meet in person. They only communicated through an anonymous network, so Zhu Ning was unable to identify who this person was.

Huo Wenxi looked at Zhu Ning quietly for a while, "I have the same idea as you. I'm looking for this person."

This is what the Abnormal Events Team does. Leave the next matter to Huo Wenxi, she will handle it.

Zhu Ning said, "Only nine days left."

Will the end of the world really come in nine days?

Huo Wenxi didn't respond to this question. She could see that Zhu Ning was not in good condition. For someone of Zhu Ning's level, the most important thing was to keep his mental state stable.

Huo Wenxi took the information from Zhu Ning's hand and said, "Go and rest. I have made an appointment for you to have a checkup at the medical department. Don't worry, I will take care of the results for you."

It takes at least half a month to recuperate after coming down from the cloud of consciousness. This intensity of work is already too much for Zhu Ning.

Huo Wenxi has always been flexible in employing people. She doesn't like to waste her employees.

With Huo Wenxi's highest authority protecting him, Zhu Ning's examination can be kept confidential throughout the process.

Zhu Ning opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Huo Wenxi had already taken all the information away and would not let her touch any of it.

"Oh, right," Huo Wenxi said, looking up from his cigarette butt in the ashtray. "The inspection team from headquarters has been here for a long time. They asked me twice, and I told them I was on vacation. If you come to the center today, they should want to see you."

The cleaning center stipulates that employees on vacation cannot be recalled unless it is an emergency task, and their rest time must be guaranteed.

Zhu Ning was stunned. After the last deserted village incident, Fang Ying mentioned that the headquarters and the First Military Region were interested in her, but Zhu Ning had never waited for these people to show up.

Given their cautious approach, they may still be conducting multiple investigations and listing different conditions for careful consideration.

It turns out that the reason why I didn’t come to the door before was also related to Huo Wenxi.

Now Huo Wenxi informed himself to remind Zhu Ning to be mentally prepared.

This was also the first time that Huo Wenxi reminded her that cooperation could indeed increase mutual trust, and Team Leader Huo was quite protective of her.

Zhu Ning was kicked out of the office and asked to punch in at the medical department.

Zhu Ning was walking in the corridor of the cleaning center. It was early in the morning and some demon hunters had already returned from their missions and were being examined in the medical department.

What happened yesterday was included in the confidentiality plan, so they didn't know that their colleague had died.

Someone is complaining: "I'm so tired, let's have a midnight snack together later."

"What's for supper? It's breakfast time now."

The two of them chatted and laughed as the day passed, knowing nothing about the doomsday nine days later.

Zhu Ning knew the news in advance. The more he knew, the more troubled he became. Only in the face of death are all people equal.

She didn't know how Chu Ling would face the news of her teammate's death.

After entering the cloud of consciousness, she seemed to have lived a lifetime in a virtual world. Everything she saw seemed like data, and medical intervention was definitely needed.

Zhu Ning was treated in the medical department for two hours. Doctor Fu prescribed her some nerve repair medicine. After leaving the medical department, she felt much better and her headache almost disappeared. From then on, she just needed to take the medicine on time.

As soon as she walked out of the medical department, she saw Fang Ying. She was still wearing her professional suit, the same combination, almost unchanged. Since Zhu Ning knew that she was a robot, she suspected that she might have been serving for seventy or eighty years.

Fang Ying smiled her signature smile when she saw Zhu Ning, "Hello, Zhu Ning."

Because of Huo Wenxi's order, even Fang Ying could not control Zhu Ning's movements. In Fang Ying's view, Zhu Ning became very mysterious and weird.

Fang Ying maintained the professionalism of an assistant and explained her purpose. "Someone from headquarters wants to see you."

Zhu Ning had been reminded by Huo Wenxi once before, so he was not that surprised.

Fang Ying continued, "They have examined your information and want you to enter the first zone."
