Chapter 196 I Want to Be a Spy
After deciding to participate in that arduous mission, Lin Xi took on another role besides being the director of the Dawn Research Institute—
Because of the very special nature of her mission, she was taken in by the relevant departments. Due to the special circumstances, many procedures and ceremonies could not be carried out. In addition, due to the special nature of her mission, it was inconvenient to disclose information. Therefore, Lin Xi's identity information remained unchanged in the national public information channels.
The research institute could only temporarily entrust Xiang Xin and Qian Zetao with maintaining discipline and security.
The trip to the White Shield base was temporarily delayed, causing a minor disturbance, but the daily research projects continued under the guidance of several mentors.
Lin Xi is undergoing emergency special training.
Lin Xi had already mastered the original combat and marksmanship skills in these training sessions, so the main focus was on psychological training given the time constraints.
The psychological assessor was very satisfied with Lin Xi's stress resistance test results.
Specialized training is mostly conducted by military personnel from the base, while the content related to combat and tactics is handed over by the Army.
The four-person team got busy at the same time, participating in many training sessions together.
"The security procedures at White Shield Base are very strict; special equipment and firearms are not allowed," Lu Wei explained about the White Shield Base.
"The list of accompanying protection personnel we applied for has been approved by the White Shield Base. The firearms and weapons we bring will need to be handed over for unified custody after entering the base."
Lin Xi could more or less guess this after learning about the situation at the White Shield Base, but she was still unhappy to have it exposed.
She touched the pocket pistol she carried and asked, "Then does that mean we can only go in alone?"
Lu Wei nodded, his expression not particularly grave: "My superiors have given me a few people in the White Shield base who might be able to provide assistance. I'll contact them when the time comes. We can only get the weapons from within the White Shield base."
Lin Xi seemed to be deep in thought.
The White Shield base has been cut off from the outside world for a long time. Even if relevant departments once planted people there, it is now unknown whether these people are still alive or whether they can be used by them.
In the apocalypse, people's hearts change. For the sake of survival, even relatives and friends may turn against each other, let alone strangers.
Lin Xi could only trust his own team.
Lu Wei didn't know what she was thinking, and continued, "After entering the base, I will test them. If they don't have the weapons needed for the operation..."
"Then let's just rob it?" Lin Xi suggested.
There's a 90% chance the other side is a criminal organization. They'll be going to infiltrate each other's homes as spies and, if necessary, behead people. So, a struggle for weapons is inevitable.
Lu did not correct him, saying, "It is requisition on the spot."
Lin Xi shrugged.
“Yue Mingyuan originally belonged to the military. Although the White Shield Base is closed off and does not communicate with the outside world, the weapons it uses are still largely those of the original military, and most of them are similar to our weapons. You can take a look.” Lu Wei copied dozens of documents into Lin Xi’s computer, all of which were introductions to various firearms and precision weapons.
"You can read the written instructions first, and then I'll take you to the armory for a live demonstration one day."
So for the next few days, Lin Xi attended "special agent" training during the day and continued to study the arms manuals in his study when he returned home late at night. He could ask Lu Wei on the other side of the desk for help with difficult points. Sometimes Lu Wei was too busy to ask, so he would ask Liang Hui and Xiang Xin. They were familiar with most of the content.
Afterwards, Lu Wei led a group of people to conduct an on-site inspection of these weapons in the armory, and explained some particularly complex equipment based on the actual objects.
Lin Xi listened attentively, and after the meeting, she quietly asked Lu Wei, "The weapons will be handed over, but can chemical weapons be disguised as medicine and brought in?"
Lu rejected the suggestion without much thought: "The items brought by the research institute also need to go through security checks. Chemical weapons have a pungent smell and are easy to detect."
“It’s not a chemical weapon,” Lin Xi said. “It’s just some so-called ‘sedatives,’ which might be useful. The lab can make them; I managed to get the formula for the drug that Song Heng used to anesthetize me last time.”
Lin Xi added, "I tried to disguise myself to avoid security checks."
Lu didn't want to say anything, but he felt that Lin Xi could handle the matter well, so he didn't say anything more.
