Am I looking in the wrong place?
It seems that consciousness is shifting again.
This time the consciousness transfer occurred earlier than expected. Counting from the time Liu Xia woke up, only about forty minutes had passed. This might be because she was only recycling a small piece of garbage at the time, which did not allow her to stay in the real world for too long.
"Comrade Xiao Xia?" Zheng Chen was originally frowning in deep thought, when he suddenly saw Liu Xia holding her forehead in pain. He hurriedly called out, "Liu Xia, what's wrong with you?!"
"Director Zheng, you must investigate the company "Jingluo"!" After Liu Xia said this, he leaned back in his chair with his head tilted back and completely lost consciousness.
Zheng Chen looked at Liu Xia, who fainted, in some shock. He began to believe her a little more when she said her consciousness could go to the wasteland world at any time.
He quickly picked up the microphone beside him and ordered the medical staff to come over. The anxious mood made Zheng Chen feel as if the cushion under his butt was plugged in, and he couldn't sit peacefully like usual.
Zheng Chen stood up anxiously and looked at the unconscious Liu Xia, then picked up his phone and looked through the address book. He seemed to be undecided and put the phone down again. He went back and forth like this several times, pacing back and forth continuously.
Unexpectedly, this talented subordinate he found unexpectedly, which should have been a rare exciting and happy thing for him in recent years, turned out to be a hot potato.
Such a tricky situation actually fell into his hands. Zheng Chen gritted his teeth and decided to report the matter.
No matter what, we must first focus on investigating this multinational company called "Whale Fall".
For a while, Liu Xia, who had fallen into a coma, was placed by the mysterious investigation bureau in a place with the highest safety factor standards. No one could approach without permission.
Following the report from Director Zheng Chen of the 404 Bureau, the official covert department began to operate, launching a detailed investigation into the "Whale Fall" Group and finding the copied "Brain Domain" source code in Liu Xia's old house.
It was discovered that the company was actually a low-key multinational group that had been secretly researching some brain-computer-related AI technology. This technology had many similarities with the "brain domain" source code mentioned by Liu Xia, and the information released had already received widespread acclaim in the mass market. However, the real core technology had not been disclosed.
After the source code of "Brain Domain" was decrypted by senior talents, it was discovered that this brain-computer AI technology can not only connect to human brain input, but also has developed a certain degree of autonomous consciousness, and even shows the behavior of continuous learning and self-upgrading after being connected to the Internet. This has attracted the attention of national think tanks.
As more and more discoveries were made, the militaries of all countries related to the "whale fall" multinational corporations launched secret and corresponding nuclear defense exercises.
The nuclear defense facilities that had been built in advance also began to enter the repair and maintenance mode, and a large amount of material reserves and drinking water were secretly transported in.
The "whale fall" multinational companies have become the target of intensive investigation. In order to prevent alerting the suspects, the country did not conduct a closed investigation openly, but secretly detained the senior executives and conducted in-depth interrogations.
Liu Xia could never have imagined that her casual conversation with Zheng Chen for more than ten minutes would attract such strong attention from the country.
The direction of the entire world changed silently with the flapping of this butterfly's wings.
…
Hao Feiyang followed the giant hyena Xiao Hei running in front of him, stopping and starting all the way, and gradually found traces of human passage. He already had some guesses in his mind.
A gray figure slowly walked through the weeds and forest, following Liu Xia's footsteps, and finally saw an abandoned tourist center not far away. It was vaguely visible that this building was of considerable size in the past.
A thought slowly emerged in Hao Feiyang's mind and slowly turned around in his mind: "Did this guy who killed so many people from the Hyena Gang deliberately attract others to follow him?"
The image of Liu Xia smashing Scarhead with a hammer was still vivid in Hao Feiyang's mind. That ferocious look on her face really showed that she was not a ruthless character who was easy to mess with. Hao Feiyang had a very bad impression of this woman whom he had never met before.
“Wooooooo…Gulp…Gulp!!!”
Xiao Hei's whimpering made Hao Feiyang's body tense instantly.
"The woman should be in this abandoned building." Hao Feiyang thought to himself.
He looked up at the crumbling plaque of the visitor center, his gloomy expression now even more solemn in the misty environment. The bright red teardrop mole at the end of his eye also became like a drop of coagulated blood, revealing a hint of danger.
Hao Feiyang stopped and started walking again, slowly crossing the empty square in front of him which was littered with broken bricks. The desolate and dangerous atmosphere made him feel depressed.
After walking through the long square and the gate of the tourist center, Hao Feiyang stopped when a dilapidated tiled staircase extending upward appeared in front of him. He called out to Xiao Hei who was following behind him.
Quite different from his handsome appearance, his voice was deep and a little hoarse, echoing faintly in the empty hall.
Xiao Hei whimpered twice and didn't dare to move forward. He seemed to be very afraid of this place, as if there was some monster on the stairs. After a long while, he hesitated and walked to Hao Feiyang's side.
Hao Feiyang looked down at Xiao Hei, who was grinning with his bright red tongue hanging out, at his feet. He kicked its furry butt lightly in dissatisfaction before starting to climb the stairs.
Looking at the staircase covered in dust and rat droppings, Hao Feiyang gradually began to be wary. No one could guarantee how dangerous that murderous-looking woman was.
The undercover agent chosen by the Hyena Gang this time was already a very powerful individual, and the Hyena Gang's actions were always without regard for human life. For such a person to have his head smashed by someone else, one can only imagine the strength and ruthless methods of the other party.
"Giggle, giggle, giggle... ga ga ga..."
Slowly climbing up to the second floor, Xiao Hei suddenly barked towards the corridor on the right. The voice was alert and threatening. It was the sound of a hyena preparing to attack.
Hao Feiyang immediately grabbed the pistol hanging at his waist, raised his arm and aimed in one smooth motion, staring closely at the depths of the corridor.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak..." A big gray rat quickly passed by the corner and crashed into one of the houses.
Hao Feiyang slowly breathed a sigh of relief. He walked in carefully and began to search room by room. Except for the various functional rooms and bathrooms that had long been abandoned, he found nothing.
The bloody smell that originally belonged to Liu Xia was mostly dissipated during the walk. On the way, they also experienced various puddles accumulated in the wetland park. It was difficult to accurately locate the specific location by smell alone. It was already good enough that they could follow all the way to the visitor center.
He could only find Liu Xia's exact location by searching one place at a time. Furthermore, the visitor center was very large with three floors, and he was habitually vigilant, always on guard against sneak attacks, which made the search even slower.
After wandering around, Hao Feiyang finally found a secret door hidden behind a table. It was riddled with bullet holes. When he pushed it open, a mixture of rust and urine wafted from the stairwell. In the morning light, he could see dense scratches on the wall and some dried blood on the steps.
It was obvious that someone had placed the table here specifically to cover up the secret door.
Hao Feiyang walked along the stairs, and the surroundings gradually became darker. When he turned on the tactical flashlight, he found that at the end was a storage room with a strong smell.
Suddenly, there was a crisp "crack" sound under his feet. He looked down and found that he had stepped on half of the weathered skeleton.
"It's not here. Did I find the wrong place?" Hao Feiyang frowned and looked around, but he didn't see any signs of living people.
