"Don't be so nervous." Zong Zheng glanced at the subordinate who suddenly changed color, and hooked the corner of his mouth, "I just said it casually."

His downplaying attitude and tone didn't make Zhong Yuncong relax, and his curled hands were covered with sweat: "Such a joke... very irresponsible... I hope you can give me an explanation... ..."

Of course he knows that his request can be said to be audacious. Fortunately, Zong Zheng didn't mean to argue with him, but looked at him with some teasing: "Irresponsible? I think it's reasonable for me to propose such a request." Hypothesis is a responsible performance... Can you say that my guess is not possible at all?"

Zhong Yuncong couldn't refute it, but he still didn't want to admit it, and whispered back: "Then you don't have evidence and you can't talk nonsense..."

"That's why I say it's a 'hypothesis'." The director of the Management Bureau looked at him amusedly, "If there is evidence, it is called a fact."

Zhong Yun was speechless and simply kept silent.

However, his silence itself is an attitude of resistance. Although he has no confidence, the young man's little stubbornness made Zong Zheng laugh. Are you done?"

Zhong Yuncong listened to the leader's change of tone, and put aside the thorn in his heart tactfully for the time being, and reported another matter that he thought was important: "Oh, I still need to take up a little more of your time." .The 'Shadows' want me to do one thing for them..."

As he spoke, he observed the words and expressions, trying to see some clues from them.

However, Zong Zhengzheng's reaction somewhat disappointed him. He listened quietly the whole time without even moving his eyebrows.

Until he finished explaining the ins and outs, the other party still had that posture of being in a state of concentration, like a statue.

Zhong Yuncong waited for a while, but the Zongju Bureau still showed no sign of opening his mouth. He finally lost his composure and asked directly, "What exactly are the 'treasures' they are talking about?"

Zong Zheng raised his eyelids, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't expect that they were also looking for that thing."

Seeing that he had finally leaked a little word, Zhong Yuncong keenly sensed that something was wrong: "Also? So, they are not the only ones looking for?"

What he meant was obvious, and Zong Zheng didn't deny it: "Yes, we're looking for it too."

He paused, then raised his eyebrows playfully: "Oh, by the way, the Comprehensive Management Bureau is also looking for it."

Zhong Yuncong was dumbfounded in shock, but at the same time he became more and more curious. What is the "treasure" that the Management Bureau, the Comprehensive Management Bureau, and now "Shadow" are coveted by the three entangled forces? What kind of fat?

Zong Zhengze naturally saw through his thoughts at a glance, but he smiled and waved his hands: "But I think they are all versatile. After so many years, there is no whereabouts at all. Ninety-nine percent of them will not be found."

Zhong Yuncong was so itchy, if he was more courageous, he would have rushed over and grabbed the leader's sleeve and said softly, "Just tell me! What kind of treasure is it?"

Zong Zheng pondered for a while, then let out a long breath, and finally said: "The city of Mengchuan, in the past, still has great potential for development."

There is a strong nostalgia between the lines in his words, Zhong Yun never fails to hear it, but he is a little puzzled why he suddenly started talking about the past, in his opinion, this has nothing to do with his problem.

But he didn't even have this little patience, he just looked at the Zongju and waited for his next words.

"Once upon a time, our city was a famous 'Science and Technology City', famous all over the country, with a well-developed heavy industry and a considerable scale."

After hearing this description, Zhong Yuncong sighed as he thought of the desolate "isolated island".

"About how our industry withered, I believe you are very clear about it, so I won't go into details." Zong Zhengzheng's voice was light, "What I want to talk about is how Mengchuan's heavy industry got up...and this is also The source of the 'treasure' you speak of."

Finally got to the point, Zhong Yuncong pricked up his ears and focused his attention.

"I heard that in the outside world, the name 'Mengchuan' has been completely erased?"

Looking at Zong Zhengzheng's wry smile, Zhong Yun never dared to say it, and only saw it in some curious posts. Even if it was mentioned now, it has become synonymous with messy urban legends.

"However," Zong Zheng changed the subject, "Your parents' generation, or older ones, should have an impression of this city... because Mengchuan used to be one of the largest production bases of conventional weapons in China."

Zhong Yun never involuntarily opened his mouth wide.

"Mengchuan is located inland, surrounded by mountains, and its strategic location is quite good." Zong Zheng twitched his lips, "And the heavy industry that once prospered was also brought up by the military industry... In fact, at that time, many Relevant enterprises, in addition to the products within the scope of business, will also produce some weapons."

Speaking of this, Zong Zheng took a meaningful look at him: "Now, do you know what the so-called 'treasure' is?"

Zhong Yuncong sucked in a breath of cold air.

It turned out that what they were looking for was arms.

"At that time, Mengchuan was equivalent to a huge arsenal. Of course, no one dared to use weapons at that time." Zong Zheng held a teacup, with a look of closing his eyes and resting his mind, "But when Mengchuan Sichuan has become an 'isolated island', all order has been destroyed, and the central government also regards it as an abandoned child, and after disregarding it, the huge amount of arms has become a favorite."

Zhong Yuncong was in a cold sweat, he could understand why these forces wanted to get these weapons.In such a troubled world, weapons are indeed indispensable, but...

Calling this kind of thing a "treasure" is completely ironic, right?

"So, what you are looking for is a batch of munitions? Is it hidden very secretly?" Although he understood the reason, Zhong Yuncong was still full of doubts, "It has been more than 20 years since Mengchuan became an 'isolated island'... Haven't found it yet?"

"Hiding is not considered secret." Zong Zhengze's eyes darkened, "Of course, the storage place of the ammunition is naturally at the confidential level, but it is not to the point where no one knows... The location of the arsenal was long ago. been found."

Zhong Yuncong was taken aback again: "Then why..."

"This is where the mystery lies," Zong Zheng sighed, "The batch of munitions disappeared."

"what……"

Before he could finish his shock, Zong Zheng gave another wave of shock: "You know what? It's not the kind where everything inside is emptied, leaving only an empty warehouse, but—"

He paused, his eyes darkened: "The entire military industrial base is gone."

Zhong Yun has been dumbfounded since then.

"It's hard to believe that a military industrial base with a radius of several square kilometers was razed to the ground, right?" Zong Zheng smiled, "But it just happened... and there are no traces of being bombed or burned. , the buildings there, even the flowers and trees, all disappeared overnight, leaving only an empty piece of land."

Zhong Yuncong still hadn't recovered from the shock: "How could... this is too..."

"Unbelievable, isn't it?" Zong Zheng also shook his head, "So far, no one knows what happened there? To be honest, I can't think of any means other than large-scale bombing. Destroy a military industrial base within a short period of time, but someone did it, and they did it silently."

Zhong Yuncong regained his composure: "So, that batch of missing munitions...has still not been heard from?"

"Hmm." Zong Zheng nodded slightly, without any expression on his face, and he couldn't see any disappointment or other emotions. Thinking about it, he was used to it, "I won't hide it from you, the Administrative Bureau is really eager to get that A batch of munitions, but that is already a thing of the past... In the first ten years, we have been actively looking for the whereabouts of that thing, but we have almost exhausted all means, and almost turned the entire "island" over, and we have not found any The trace... After a long time, I gave up."

Like, the legendary treasure of King Solomon.

"Then the Comprehensive Management Bureau..."

"Their side is not much better." Zong Zheng shrugged, "Our side has some special means, but there is nothing we can do, let alone them."

He said with a sneer: "I don't know where the guys from 'Shadow' got this old news, and they are still making a big fuss about it."

Zhong Yuncong hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his conjecture: "Maybe...they are no longer in the 'isolated island'? Maybe after the virus broke out that year, the outside government tried to transfer that batch of arms away... After all, those things are too dangerous."

Zong Zheng was silent for a while, and then raised the corner of his mouth: "It seems that this is the only way to explain it."

Zhong Yuncong didn't know what to say for a moment, he knew it well, and his explanation was very reluctant, but one thing was certain—that is, the thing was really missing.What he can't figure out is, why does "Shadow" think he can find something that the two major departments have spent more than ten years failing to find?

Zhong Yuncong didn't feel that he had that kind of ability at all, not to mention that the batch of munitions was probably no longer on the "isolated island".

It's really inexplicable... Being entangled by a group of psychopaths is enough to make people irritated, thinking of the old man who is still in their hands, he has an even more headache.

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious why the 'Shadow' came to you." Zong Zhengzheng's eyes looked at him back and forth like X-rays, Zhong Yuncong's whole body was hairy: "I, I don't know... "

Zong Zheng rubbed his chin: "Maybe there is something good about you that I didn't see."

What you said... Zhong Yuncong looks a bit dull, he still has some advantages, right?

Five minutes had passed since the day's chat. Zong Zheng glanced at the wall clock on the wall, and returned his gaze to Zhong Yuncong's face: "Apart from the above two things, is there anything else?"

He really hit the spot, Zhong Yuncong really had a third thing.

"I...I heard that you are the strongest psychic user in the Administration Bureau," he said eagerly, "I think...I hope...you can guide me."

Zong Zheng looked at him expressionlessly.

He swallowed, closed his eyes, and said, "I want to become stronger."

The other party still didn't say a word, Zhong Yuncong's heart was beating violently.

As time passed by, he kept his head down, not daring to face Zong Zhengzheng, and he was so anxious that he was dying: Why didn't you speak?Is it because my qualifications are too poor...

Just when he gave up on himself and failed, he suddenly heard the voice of Zongju.

"I'm not free today, and I still have things to do. Tomorrow night, after dinner, come to this office, and I will try to help you improve your mental strength."

Zhong Yuncong raised his head suddenly, looking at Zong Zhengze in surprise and joy.

Zong Zheng smiled slightly, but what he said made him shudder: "Don't be too happy, my special training is not so easy... If you can't make it through, I won't give you a second chance."
