Chapter 136 The Underground Forces’ Hunting List
Lu Zhao operated the computer quickly, and the crackling sound of the keyboard was particularly harsh in the operations room.
"Su Wanqing, I have successfully copied the backup of Li Guoqiang's communication records. The amount of data is very large and is being analyzed and screened."
Su Wanqing stood behind Lu Zhao, with her arms folded across her chest, watching the rapidly flashing code on the screen.
"Hurry up, Lu Zhao. Time is running out, and Li Guoqiang won't let us go easily."
"There are some results." Lu Zhao said in a steady voice. "In the communication records, a code name repeatedly appears, 'Scavenger'. According to the context, this 'Scavenger' seems to be the executor of the orders directly issued by the rebel leader Allen. And this frequently mentioned 'Scavenger Plan' seems to be a...hunting list."
Xiao Ran was originally standing against the wall, but when he heard this, he suddenly straightened his back.
"Hunting list? Who to hunt?"
"The list contained several names, along with their approximate locations."
Lu Zhao projected the screened list onto the screen in the operations room.
"These people are active in different areas and don't seem to have a direct connection with each other, but they have one thing in common."
"What do they have in common?" Su Wanqing asked.
“They all seem to have some indirect or direct connection to virus research.”
Lu Zhao explained. "There is a biologist named Professor Chen on the list, who once participated in the federal virus research project and later disappeared; there is also an engineer named Wang Gong, who was responsible for the transportation and storage of virus samples..."
Xiao Ran walked to the screen and looked through the list carefully, his brows furrowed even more.
"What do these people know? What does Li Guoqiang want to do?"
"I am more concerned about the one marked on the list." Xiao Ran pointed at a name on the list with his finger, and "Special Target" was marked in eye-catching red font below it.
"Jiang Yun, female, 28 years old, occupation... botanist?"
"Botanist?" Su Wanqing was a little confused. "What effect does her research have on viruses?"
"The key lies in the words 'special target'." Xiao Ran said in a heavy tone.
"The leader of the rebels would not list a botanist as a special target for no reason. This means that Jiang Yun may have some key information that we don't know about, or... Li Guoqiang intends to use her to conduct some new experiment."
Lin Che had been standing quietly by the side, listening to everyone's discussion, and suddenly said, "I have already dealt with the surveillance system, Su Wanqing. It will probably be more difficult for them to track our location through surveillance."
"How did you deal with it?" Su Wanqing asked.
"I used my special abilities to implant a jamming code into the monitoring system and used water control to create a virtual network maze."
Lin Che's voice was calm and indifferent. "If Allen wants to find us, I'm afraid it will take some time and effort.
Ye also provided a lot of help, he is very familiar with the loopholes in the monitoring system. "
Ye's voice rang in her mind: "The monitoring system is too primitive, like a paper-pasted window. It's just releasing interference signals, and there's no need to waste too much energy."
Su Wanqing nodded. "Well done, Lin Che. Now, we must find these people on the list as soon as possible and transfer them to us safely."
She looked at Lu Zhao. "Lu Zhao, continue analyzing the communication records to see if you can find more information about the 'Scavenger Plan.' Especially the detailed information about Jiang Yun."
"Understood." Lu Zhao replied.
"Also, Ye, how much do you know about these people on the list?" Su Wanqing suddenly asked.
Ye was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, "Jiang Yun... I once met her during an operation. At that time, she was conducting an experiment on the antiviral ability of plants. Her research results may help us find new ways to fight viruses."
"Do you have a way to contact her?" Su Wanqing asked anxiously.
"No." Ye shook his head. "That meeting was just a brief conversation, and I didn't keep her contact information. But I know her research direction better, and maybe I can find her trace based on her research results."
"Very good. That's great." There was a hint of joy in Su Wanqing's tone.
"Ye, you are responsible for finding Jiang Yun and finding her as soon as possible. Xiao Ran, you are responsible for coordinating the forces of all parties and preparing to pick up other survivors on the list.
Lu Zhao, continue to analyze the communication records and obtain more intelligence. Lin Che, you are responsible for covering our actions and ensuring our safety. "
Xiao Ran crossed his arms, his eyes sharp. "Humph, a bunch of dead men, dared to prey on the people in the ruins of the end of humanity. I promise to make them pay a heavy price!"
"Xiao Ran, control your emotions." Su Wanqing reminded.
"Now is not the time to be a hero, what we need is calmness and rationality.
Remember, our priority is to protect survivors, not to act based on emotion.”
Xiao Ran originally wanted to refute, but finally held back and glared at the list on the screen.
"Humph, a bunch of beasts!"
"Their behavior is indeed infuriating." Su Wanqing said softly.
"But anger won't solve the problem. We need to make a comprehensive plan to minimize the losses. Lu Zhao, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Zhao's voice came. "'Scavenger Plan' seems to have a code name, 'Protocol Zero'.
According to the analysis of the communication records, the goal of "Protocol Zero" is to eliminate all factors that may threaten the rule of the rebels, including those who possess key technologies and those survivor organizations that may cause unrest. "
"'Protocol Zero'... It seems that Li Guoqiang and Allen's ambitions are greater than we thought."
Su Wanqing sighed. "They want to establish a dictatorship, and those who oppose them will become their targets."
"This list is really disgusting!" Xiao Ran couldn't help but swear.
"Hunting the survivors and trampling on the bottom line of human survival, do they still have humanity?"
Su Wanqing looked up at Xiao Ran, her tone gentle. "I know you are angry, Xiao Ran. But now is not the time to vent your emotions. We need to calmly analyze the situation and develop a response strategy. Remember, we are a beacon of hope, not a flame of anger."
Xiao Ran took a deep breath and tried hard to control his emotions.
"Understood, Su Wanqing. I will go and prepare to pick up the survivors. We must not let them fall into the hands of the rebels."
He quickly left the war room and started to get busy.
Lu Zhao continued to operate on the computer, and dense data kept flashing on the screen.
"Su Wanqing, I found a more detailed communication record, which mentioned a secret base located in an abandoned chemical plant in the suburbs. According to the record, Li Guoqiang often goes in and out of that base, and that base seems to be closely related to the implementation of 'Protocol Zero'."
"Abandoned chemical plant?" Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. "It seems that there may be some important secrets hidden there. Lu Zhao, are you sure about the location of that base?"
"It's confirmed." Lu Zhao nodded. "I've marked it on the map. We can send a team to investigate and see if we can find more information about 'Protocol Zero'."
"Okay." Su Wanqing said. "Lin Che, you go with Lu Zhao. Remember, safety comes first. If you encounter danger, retreat immediately."
"Understood." Lin Che replied. He glanced at Ye, who nodded slightly.
Su Wanqing looked at Lin Che and Lu Zhao who were about to set off, her heart filled with worry.
She knew that they were getting closer to the truth step by step, but they were also facing great danger.
She must do everything she can to protect them, to protect all the survivors.
