Li Qiusheng: [Speak quickly]
Wang Yan: [Listen]
Li Yue: [When I used my special ability to investigate the base just now, I found that the recycling station had accumulated a lot of food, which must have been left unsent to the upper levels recently.]
Li Qiusheng: [Hehe (*′﹃｀*) Got it]
Wang Yan: [There should be quite a lot of stuff, right? We're missing a space-type item. Should I call the boss over?]
Li Yue: [Tell the city lord what she thinks.]
Li Yue sighed.
As she typed, she subconsciously wanted to call Xia Chuhe "Xiao Xia".
Unfortunately, they are no longer a small group. Many people are watching their every move. Except in private, she can no longer treat Xia Chuhe with the same casual intimacy, lest others look down on him.
When Xia Chuhe received the message from Li Qiusheng, he was looking through the new recruits' registration forms, which contained the recruits' basic information, special abilities, and resumes.
Xia Chuhe happened to find a clean-cut female recruit from the new recruits—Yu Xin—and asked her to cooperate with Li Yue and the others in their actions.
When Yu Xin arrived at the Cape Base, the drug hijacking plan had just been completed.
In the past few days, Wang Yan has been keeping a close eye on the Five Star Company branch. Whenever staff members head towards the trading area, he will follow them for a while to predict their direction.
Once it was confirmed that she was going to a clothing store, Wang Yan immediately sent a message to Li Qiusheng.
To get from Five Star Company to the trading area, you need to go through several alleys, giving Li Qiusheng plenty of opportunities to knock people unconscious.
The moment he received the medicine, Li Qiusheng handed it to Li Yue.
Judging from the packaging alone, the antidote and the gene-enhancing drug are indistinguishable. Li Qiusheng even worried that he might have taken the wrong drug, but the junior employee only had this one vial of medicine on him.
Li Yue also injected the medicine with a skeptical attitude. Less than half an hour after the medicine was injected into her body, the symptoms of chest tightness were immediately relieved.
The information about Zhuguanshan was indeed correct!
Li Yue shared this good news with Xia Chuhe, and Xia Chuhe's mind immediately became active...
After confirming that the medicine was safe, Li Yue contacted Yu Xin and they planned to rob the recycling station together.
The poor young employee who was robbed has no idea how serious the situation is.
Few people knew about Guan Wuji's special ability, and the canaries were unaware that they had been infected with the poison. Therefore, almost no one knew about the antidote.
The junior employee thought it was just a regular gene serum that was missing. He didn't dare to make a fuss about it in the company, for fear of being labeled as incompetent by his superiors.
The junior employee paid out of his own pocket to buy a regular gene-editing agent from the branch office and delivered it to the clothing store. This time, he was much more careful, and thankfully, nothing went wrong.
The clothing store owner didn't notice anything amiss. After exchanging a few pleasantries with the employee, he accepted the medicine as usual.
On the way back to the company, the junior employee became increasingly angry and couldn't help but run to the security bureau to report the incident.
The wasteland is a world where resources are scarce, and the more scarce a place is, the worse its security. Cape Base, as the most peripheral base, has particularly poor security.
Theft, robbery, and fraud are commonplace, and even murder cases are ignored by the security bureau unless specifically instructed by higher authorities.
Considering the complainant belonged to Five Star Company, the reserve officer lazily noted down the case and said perfunctorily, "We'll investigate. Go back and wait for news."
Once that statement is made, there's usually no follow-up.
The junior employee was well aware of the intricacies of the situation. While the loss of points for a single potion was painful, what he found most unacceptable was that someone dared to attack him right in the base!
Can't you see his work uniform?
Hmph, anyone who dares to attack employees of Five Star Company must look down on Five Star Company!
The junior employee deliberately exaggerated: "You must catch that person as soon as possible. He's not after me; he's after Five Star Company!"
The reserve soldier paused in his typing: "Okay, we'll be careful."
The reserve force dragged the files from the "Unimportant" folder and put them in the "To Do" folder.
The junior employee was still somewhat unwilling, but he couldn't provide any more evidence, so he could only leave resentfully.
...
After meeting up with Yu Xin, Li Yue immediately issued the order for tonight's operation.
When it comes to robbery, it's better to act sooner rather than later. Let's get started before the recycling center sends the supplies to the upper levels.
Yu Xin's task was simple: hide near the recycling station and wait for further instructions.
...
It all started with a police report call from Five Star Company.
"Hello, is this the Security Bureau? There are fires of unknown cause at Five Star Company. The fires are scattered, and we suspect it is a premeditated attack. Please send more people to help."
The person who answered the phone was a reserve soldier who had received the report from the junior employee earlier that day. He immediately connected the junior employee's mention of "someone targeting Five Star Company" and dared not delay, so he immediately reported it to the guards above.
Fires at the base's businesses are usually handled by the businesses themselves. Only when the fires become uncontrollable will the guard bureau send three to five people over.
Considering that the complainant was from Five Star Company, and that a junior employee of Five Star Company had previously filed a complaint, the guards stationed at the guard post took ten men with them.
One phone call drew away half of the guards' personnel.
The guards had barely left when screams came from the recycling station across the street.
The remaining people rushed over to check the situation.
The two guards, one slumped to the ground, the other already dead. The surviving one said, "Someone suddenly appeared from underground, killed someone, and ran away..."
“There! There!” He pointed to the back of the crowd, and the group turned around to see half a body emerging from the ground.
The lead guard pointed to two men: "You two stay here and quickly contact the city garrison to send reinforcements. The rest of you, come with me to pursue them!"
Those who remained hurriedly contacted the city's garrison, only to receive news that there were too many fires within the base, the troops were scattered, and the city gates needed constant manpower. There weren't many people available to go to the recycling station, so they had to guard the city by themselves for a while.
The guards weren't worried about the supplies at the recycling station. Its unique construction prevented even those who could burrow underground from entering. The entrance was secured with the latest bio-locks, making it impossible for ordinary people to break in.
The three did not separate rashly, but formed a semicircle to guard the recycling station.
Li Qiusheng shook off his pursuers, quietly circled around to the recycling station, and swiftly dispatched one of them.
The other two men, upon recognizing Li Qiusheng, were about to attack her when they heard two muffled thuds. They saw that a hole had been punched in her skull; she collapsed before she could even utter a word.
Li Yue grabbed the person in charge of the recycling station and walked out from around the corner, coldly saying, "Open the door."
As soon as the person in charge left, Li Qiusheng secretly followed him and sent a message to Li Yue, telling her to tie him up early.
Having witnessed the deaths of the guards, the person in charge dared not resist and obediently unlocked the bio-lock, allowing Li Yue and the others to enter.
Li Yue gave Yu Xin a wink, and Yu Xin knew that now was the time for her to come in handy.
