National Juggernaut

Chapter 581 Time Bomb
"A total of 100 workers, 7 are 'terrorists', and 4 have abnormal behavior, suspected terrorists, undiscovered does not mean safe, there should be a lot of lurkers, and the most terrible thing is that this is just Just a random selection of 100, and there are a few terrorists with identification."

Even though there were many calculations in his heart, when the result was finally obtained, Zheng Li also looked helpless.

He expected the situation to be quite bad, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

When he used his ability to observe the future and determined that "accidents" would happen no matter what, he knew that it would be too late to investigate spies and arrest law and order.

Immediately, he had an idea, and suddenly adjusted the time of the ceremony that morning to "postpone" the actual groundbreaking ceremony.

The other party might have intelligence, might have a high-level spy, might get a new schedule soon, but the schedule was only revised that morning, and it was basically too late to notify all the people in the "plan".

When one or two terrorists jumped out, the activity of "emphasizing the friendly coexistence of iron men and humans" would naturally fall through.

The original "goodwill propaganda" has become meaningless, and the big bosses have no reason to appear at the official ceremony, which undoubtedly saves Zheng Li a lot of trouble. From his point of view, he cannot bear the political turmoil. risks of.

Things went much smoother than expected. The attacker's plan could not be stopped instantly. Opening up communications at the most critical moment in espionage work is tantamount to voluntarily exposing yourself. The "silent spies" who entered the information cocoon by themselves did not stop.

Maybe that's not all, but it's scary enough.

Just the proportion of "dangerous" among the refugees still makes Zheng Li startled and even uneasy.

More than 10% of people have problems, even though many of them are actively trying to join the first batch of workers.

But let’s dilute this data. Among the entire iron man group, I am afraid that more than 3% of the people still tend to "there".

Although 3% in the data is an absolute decimal, as a dangerous element, 1% is an unacceptably high risk.

Who knows what they will do, the random destruction of a lurker or a lone wolf can make tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of goodwill actions of Iron Man useless.

"They must be separated."

Before that, it was a phone call a day, urging Zheng Li to start work as soon as possible, and to start publicity as soon as possible.

But now, there is no one on the top to continue to urge Zheng Li, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. What he fears most is being kidnapped by "the general trend", and then stepping on the gas pedal to the underworld.

This kind of silence itself undoubtedly gave Zheng Li discretion, allowing him to decide when to let the company operate normally and when to start the demonstration work of Iron Man.

On the premise that there are a large number of "terrorists" inside, setting up a production line and hiring them as key employees is like actively trying to die.

Among the data given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the headache is not only the percentage of "unstable elements", but also the past deeds of some exposed terrorists.

"Some of the personnel were originally local Ater people. They had no radical remarks before their identities were innocent. Some of them were indeed refugees, but they had complete identity certificates and other people's testimony. To put it bluntly, they stayed in remote areas. It's been a long time."

The report submitted by Song Ying caused Zheng Li even more headaches. These "precious" latent seeds were just scattered like this, and he really thought highly of himself.

"By the way, have you answered my question?"

"Yes, the answer is 'N'."

"N? Is the code of the Ministry of Internal Affairs 'Silence'? I know, don't tell the outsiders about this, especially those big mouths in the group. Dr. Snake can reveal a little bit, so that they can prepare."

"I know it. I never thought it would be possible to directly border the world of the Atel people."

On the night when the embassy was lit, Zheng Li actually noticed that something was off track.

In his opinion, the people of Atel pay too much attention to Shiqian City. Those top-level combat power and serial terrorist attacks are enough to overthrow Shiqian City. It is true, but it is also easy to invest a heavy gamble thousands of miles away. There is nothing left to lose.

In fact, the Atel people did suffer a lot, and it is strange that they still maintain a considerable degree of diplomatic restraint.

It's like a thug who was slapped and forced to smile. If it wasn't that he really didn't dare to touch you (they started a war), then he was going to kill your whole family at night and forcibly endured it for the time being.

"Their investment is too great, and the weight of these spies is too. I don't think their intelligence organizations and elite spies are unlimited. They can give up other big cities and specialize in us who are not bordering them."

In this era, spatial distance is always a relative concept. Except for Beishi and Shiqian, the six cities in the central region are all "bordered" by the world of the Atel people.

Total war is destined to be a tug-of-war. Intelligence organizations, intelligence teams, and strong combat power can be regarded as a very precious strategic resource, and invested in a city that does not border with oneself?Why not commit to a more important front?Xiujiang and Yanzhou are hard nuts to crack, but Wanshou can also try it. What does it mean to invest in a hinterland city?

If it was just routine hostility and hostile behavior, Zheng Li could still understand it, but then the other party continued to increase the scale, from the embassy incident to the Whale Rebellion to the current Iron Man spy case, Zheng Li felt that the other party invested too much.

"Or, is there a link between an unknown world and Iron Man's world, or, as long as there is a sealed area that is opened, it can actually reach the border?"

The big city is the space nail of this world, but there are countless passages from other worlds around each big city. It is not difficult to reach a link across several worlds, and the God Atel has the ability to forcibly push the world of war. There is a world of war smashed into other safe worlds for space jump gang battles.

But generally speaking, this kind of behavior would never happen. Who would draw another line of defense to his old enemy if he had nothing to do, and he would have to pay a heavy price.

But just like Zheng Li asked the rabbit to determine the route according to the latest space map, the overlapping trajectories of the world are being revised every moment, and no one can guarantee whether the "road" will change, or has been forcibly changed by some existence at a price .

"Now that the war is starting, if the revival alliance of the six central cities is one of the targets, their main attack point must be the weaker cities, the weakest and most biased of the six cities."

Is it a beast?No, it is actually the Shiqian City with the shortest history. Although Shiqian City is barely the fifth last in the history of various competitions, the many tribes of Wanshou have long-term feuds, and they will never show their full war potential. In the face of death battles, the massive sub-human branches and strong fighting races will make the opponent extremely painful.

The history of Shiqian City is only 400 years, which is about half of that of the penultimate city-state. It takes time to accumulate high-level combat power, and it mainly relies on powerful war weapons.

Relying all safety on some kind of invincible weapon of war?No matter who is the decision maker, they will not be so naive. Historically, commanders who believed that a certain weapon would always be reliable have basically become the famous laughing stock of a certain period of war history.

Zheng Li suspects that the Ater people have actually chosen Shiqian City as a breakthrough point, and a certain area has become a link. He even suspects that a certain smuggling channel is running stably, which is why there are so many steadfast "Ater" among the refugees. Seoul people".

If the opponent's terrorist attack is successful, the city in the central part will be in chaos, and a big hole will be opened in the middle of the city. It will be difficult to use strategic weapons, or they will suddenly border.

Since he had doubts, Zheng Li typed a report and submitted it to his superiors, but he got a "silent" answer.

This is not a negative "thinking too much" or "no such thing". It's "just know it, don't spread it around".

There will never be a shortage of smart people in this world. Zheng Li can think of it. Naturally, there are other people who have already considered this possibility. Professional consultants are tossing about various possible conspiracy theories every day.

Maybe now, there are a large number of scouts outside patrolling every day, looking for the possible gap in the space.

It is difficult to conceal strategic decision-making. All conspiracies involving war will naturally become bright cards and overt schemes at a certain point in time.

If the opponent's terrorist attack had paralyzed Shi Qiancheng's strategic weapons before, they might still have a chance to make a surprise attack, now...
"If it is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and transfer the reinforcements to the north, then the strategic goal has been achieved. At least the other big cities will not be able to get a second batch of reinforcements in the past six months. If their goal is really Shiqian City, they just want to hide it, I'm afraid It won’t take long to hide it. With directional search targets, our intelligence organization is not just for nothing.”

If Zheng Li's prediction is correct, then the frontal war with the Atels is probably not far away.

This vague uneasiness seemed to be overthinking, but it has always troubled Zheng Li, and finally formed a written possibility report and submitted it to the "relevant department".

What Zheng Li expected was a reply of "no response" or "E (no value judgment)", this "N (silence)" naturally made him think too much.

"No, they have already found a clue."

Zheng Li is more and more aware of the existence of this possibility, but judging from the fact that the city's alarm has not been sounded and everything is operating normally, there should be no conclusive evidence, and it is still in the intelligence gathering stage.

Zheng Li shook his head, this is not something he should care about, if this is going to happen, no one can stop it.
"We have also entered a state of preparation. The battle group began to stockpile strategic materials. They used the possibility of accepting hunting missions as an excuse to purchase more high-end anti-Atel weapons or technologies. The best ones that can be produced by themselves are the best. Even if everything is true If it didn’t happen, we may also go to Ten Thousand Beast City as the second batch of reinforcements, which will be useful at that time.”

After slightly adjusting the development strategy, Zheng Li still focused on the current enterprise.

If the possibility of "bordering" is taken as the premise, then the loyalty of the iron man may be discounted. The "imperial army" is in front of or not, and the loyalty of the "two devils" is really two different things.

If there is a border, I am afraid that this hot potato of my own will directly upgrade to a volcanic belt, and I can blow myself up to the sky if I am not careful.

"The unstable factors must be ruled out as soon as possible."

The question goes back to the original point, how should we determine who is wrong?Among the "reliable 100 people" who were repeatedly selected before, seven of them have been confirmed to be spies and hostiles.

Forcing all iron men to develop their core thinking logic?That's almost the same as forcing them to rebel, after all, their heads are open, and they will be useless if they are touched or knocked casually.

It is said that there is a way to add a hardware lock (remote control bomb) to the core logic panel, which can force Iron Man to work hard as a coolie.

Looking for mind-reading abilities?I am afraid that most of the abilities will be ineffective against Iron Man with a special structure, and it is even a question whether most of the mind-reading abilities can regard it as a "target".

Zheng Li also has some understanding of mind-reading abilities. Such as Ah Qiong is an extremely rare and ultra-rare item. Some mind-readers are either high-precision liar devices, or have a bunch of restrictions, such as long-term Eye contact, such as prolonged exposure to solitude.

The most terrible thing is that the interference ability that touches the soul basically involves the confrontation of psychic energy. Even if it succeeds, the other party will have the feeling of being spied on and penetrated.

And this kind of thing is very, very sensitive and special. If something goes wrong, it will be a serious political incident.

This is why Ah Qiong's ability is so precious. It can smell the "negative emotions" that the soul automatically emits. Although there are many limitations and shortcomings (how to make the other party have strong negative emotions), the advantage is high confidentiality, and the disadvantage is Too passive, eating whatever emotions others give, too random.

What if Zheng Li used Ah Qiong to investigate?I'm afraid I have to ask "Are you a spy" one by one, and then observe the negative emotional feedback at that moment
"Looking for a myth from the superior? They should have something similar in their ability pool. Although it must be a precious strategic resource, shouldn't the baby be used at this time?"

".Did you forget something?"

The cat's sudden sound made Zheng Li stop suddenly.

"There are very few myths about discerning loyalty and villainy, but don't you happen to have one in your hand? It is true that cats can't do it now, but can't Wen Zhongtian's third eye, which is born to discern 'loyalty, good and evil'? Then However, the targeted trait of powerful mythology is theocracy, and the priority is undoubtedly the first grade."

Well, the question returns to the origin, to the point of how to harvest "Wen Zhong".

Zheng Li must first obtain the mythical resonance of "Wen Zhong" before he can give Ah Qiong the mythical blessing of "Wen Zhong's Eye", but he must have Wen Zhong's mythological components, preferably Wen Zhong's Eye, to get "Wen Zhong" together .

The classic predicament reappeared, and the spirally evolved human sword master had encountered this kind of problem for a long time, and Zheng Li was also very skilled at breaking it.

Don't stare at the dilemma itself, the opportunity to break the situation often lies elsewhere.

"The double swords of Mengling have completed their evolution, perhaps, we can give it a try."
