The Scavengers

9:26-7:8, June [-]

In the conference room, after confirming that the communication was safe, Qiu Feng knocked on the table and asked, "Can you tell me what the mission is?"

Xiao Mo hesitated, Qiu Feng is considered a good person, but the other party is also a man who is good at calculating, he can help Xiao Mo and the two cover, but he wants him to use his power and personal friendship to help them get the entry into the underground subject of Yucai Research Institute. To enter the permit, they must also come up with something that can impress the other party.

Xue Lihong pressed his shoulder, "Let's talk." The original virus can be saved, they didn't expect so many when they first did the mission, but after that he has participated in Xiao Mo's mission, as long as he can save the sample He collected them all.

Xiao Mo made up his mind and pressed the call button: "It's about the Angel Virus Primogen."

Qiu Feng sat up straight, "Are you sure? That thing is in the underground body you mentioned?"

"Probably."

Qiu Feng's expression became serious, "How likely is it?"

Xiao Mo said a minimum value, "Thirty percent."

Clenching his fist, Qiu Feng didn't even ask Xiao Mo's source, and said directly: "Thirty percent, that's enough! I'll help you, but you have to bring me back the Angel Virus."

Xue Lihong pressed the call button first, "Remuneration."

Qiu Feng was stunned for a moment, and scolded: "Is it Xue Lihong? How many times have you cheated on me? You bullied Lei Bing!"

Xue Lihong still had two words: "Remuneration."

"You...! [-] base points, plus [-] alloy particles."

"Thirty thousand points, five thousand alloy particles."

Qiu Feng couldn't help swearing, "If what you bring back is indeed the angel virus, and it is enough to develop a vaccine, the reward will be as you said."

Xiao Mo coughed, "Then I will trouble General Qiu to help us get the pass."

"I'll check who is responsible there first, and wait for my news." Qiu Feng couldn't help but asked again: "Just the two of you, is it okay? Do you want me to send Lei Bing and the others there?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, "This place has become a closed body after the bombing, and the tunnel leading to the outside world is being dug, and Lei Bing and the others can't get in. If our mission fails, you can find a way."

"Okay, pay attention to your own safety." Qiu Feng simply ended the call with Xiao Mo, and then rubbed the center of his brows with a headache. It's not like usual now, even if it is normal, he has no right to ask Yu Caiyan to open the authority People can enter casually, at most they can get a quota of visitors.

But because it was related to the Angel Virus Primogen, usually he could report the matter and send someone there directly in the name of business, but now...he thought he might bleed a little.

It’s not that he is selfish and doesn’t want to share this matter with the people in the underground base in H City, but that the situation in various places is complicated now. If something as important as the Angel Virus Primogenus falls into the hands of some greedy or perverted people, let alone develop a vaccine for them. Everyone, even if it can be developed, then this thing is likely to become a weapon for some ambitious people to control the people.

If Xiao Mo and the other two were unable to come out in the end, he would make the matter public as a public mission to gather all parties to find a way to enter the underground base.

Bao Yuezhi hadn't even reached the front building when he heard someone pass the news that Ma Xiang asked for a meeting to discuss giving Xiao Mo the authority to enter the main building.

Bao Yuezhi snorted coldly, and immediately changed direction with Wang Jinian.

Wang Jinian said bitterly: "Young Master Bao, that Qiu Feng is the person in charge of the security base in Zhongshan City. Why does he ask us to grant permission to his people? Who does he think he is?"

"Qiu Feng is not an idiot. If he dares to mention it, he will definitely give us a satisfactory reward. Let's first look at the price he offers." Bao Yuezhi suppressed his anger.

Zhongshan City was once the first city where mutations and supernatural beings appeared. He could have grasped the first-hand information before everyone else, but that Qiu Feng turned against them, and later became more sick. Commander Yang seized the command of the entire security base in Zhongshan City, threw back all his reasonable demands, and later forced them to leave Zhongshan City...

This time it was rare that Qiu Feng took the initiative to ask him. He was very much looking forward to Qiu Feng's face after he knew that the main manager of this base was him. It must be very good-looking!

Bao Yuezhi became excited and walked faster and faster.

Xiao Mo and the two didn't know the negotiation process, so they could only wait in the reception room.

Taking advantage of his free time, Xiao Mo asked the system in his mind: "Have you found another consciousness?"

The system responded: "I have scanned your whole body no less than five times, and I haven't found another conscious body, but a conscious body with independent thinking can hide in any place. I can't be 100% sure that your body is really There is no other consciousness. Next time you encounter that consciousness again, please tell me, only then can I catch it.”

Xiao Mo didn't feel at ease because of this, but the system couldn't find it, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being.

"By the way, Old Wu secretly slipped me a box of dim sum before, you can try it." Xiao Mo slapped his head, almost forgot, hoping it wasn't broken.

He took out the lunch box from his backpack and handed it to Xue Lihong, Xiao Mo smiled and said: "Our chef's craftsmanship is still very good, many people come from far away to eat in my elder brother's restaurant."

Xue Lihong opened the lunch box, eyes bent a little, "Dumplings!"

"Check to see if it's broken first. Old Wu said not to eat too much..."

Xue Lihong, who had eaten half a box of dumplings, pinched a dumpling with her fingers and sent it to Xiao Mo, "Ah."

Xiao Mo subconsciously opened his mouth.

A dumpling was stuffed into his mouth.

tasty!Xiao Mo was quickly captured by the deliciousness of the dumplings, he hadn't eaten such a normal food for a long time.

Xue Lihong pinched a dumpling again, Xiao Mo opened his mouth again, but the dumpling circled in front of his mouth, and entered Xue Lihong's own mouth.

"Hey!" Xiao Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, brat, he also said that he had lived for a long time, so he didn't grow up at all, right?

Xue Lihong suddenly tilted her head, "This dumpling..."

"What? Is there a problem? Old Wu said not to eat too much." Xiao Mo quickly reached out to help him recover.

"It can replenish energy."

"Ok?"

Xue Lihong is still savoring it carefully, "I ate ten dumplings just now, and it feels like I have replenished the energy of a first-level standard energy crystal."

Xiao Mo opened his mouth wide, "So powerful?"

Xue Lihong stuffed the last dumpling into Xiao Mo's open mouth, "Next time we will find Lao Wu to make more, I still have a large piece of frozen beef here."

Xiao Mo ate the last dumpling cherishingly, but regretfully said, "This box is all wasted."

"What's the waste? We might need a lot of physical strength and energy later."

Talking and laughing, they couldn't feel the passage of time at all. After receiving Cheng Zai's reminder, the two realized that nearly an hour had passed.

Xiao Mo put on the earphones to connect with Qiu Feng again, and Xue Lihong listened in.

Qiu Feng's voice was the same as before, and he opened his mouth to explain the background of the base's manager: "This is indeed Yucaiyan's underground research center, and it is also one of the prepared air defense bases. It is usually guarded by troops. When you see It should be the original garrison and the local garrison who later retreated here to protect the people. The person in charge of the army is Major General Zhang Hua, but now Major General Zhang is injured and unconscious, so Colonel Ma Xiang, a technical officer, can only take over the management.

After a short pause, Qiu Feng continued: "In addition to the military, there are Yucaiyan security personnel and people from the disease center left behind in this base."

Xiao Mo was surprised, "Disease Center?" Why did the Disease Center pop up?

"Because it is deep underground, it can isolate the source of infection, and the disease center also occupies a floor there for office." Qiu Feng said his investigation, mainly Ma Xiang told him secretly, "Because Major General Zhang fell ill before he fell ill. Most of the soldiers were transferred to protect the retreating civilians, and there are less than [-] troops stationed at the base."

"What! There are only such a few people?" No wonder Cheng Zai refused to say the number of soldiers.

"More than a dozen of them are technicians. Because of the need to maintain communication between the underground and the ground, Colonel Ma Xiang took the initiative to bring a volunteer technician to stay."

Xue Lihong pressed the call button: "There are no municipal officials from City H here?"

Qiu Feng exclaimed, "You're still so perceptive. I asked Ma Xiang, and he said that there was a little turmoil before, because those municipal officials wanted to get closer to the people in the disease center and secretly used the survivors of the base to make money." As for the experimental subjects, Major General Zhang will control those people first."

Qiu Feng's voice changed, "What I'm going to say next is very important, you should listen carefully."

Xiao Mo asked Xue Lihong to come and listen together, but Xue Lihong shook her head, indicating that she could hear.

Qiu Feng said over there: "Because the garrison has a small number of troops, Wang Jinian, the left-behind director of Yucai Research Institute, and Bao Yuezhi, the director of the disease center, are colluding."

"Bao Yuezhi?" Xiao Mo quickly recalled the young man who captured Qian Yunkai and Wang Cheng and claimed to be Commissioner Bao. "He didn't leave before the bomb was dropped? Is there something important here that makes him reluctant to leave?"

Qiu Feng sneered, "It's not that he was reluctant to leave, but that he was delayed before escaping, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to leave later."

"What delayed him?" Xiao Mo inexplicably felt that this was very important.

But Qiu Feng didn't know this either, "Ma Xiang said he didn't know either, he only knew that Bao Yuezhi was doing biological research in the main building, and sometimes accidentally let the things inside escape."

"Sure enough!" Xiao Mo was worried, his mission target would be one of Bao Yuezhi's research subjects, right?Hope it's not such a coincidence.

Qiu Feng reminded the two, "You have to be careful. The Bao family and his son are all determined to eliminate the theory of supernatural powers. They do things cruelly and unscrupulously, but because their slogans echo the interests of most ordinary people, they still have a certain reputation among the people, and even There are also some people above who are secretly supporting them."

What Qiu Feng said was that if something happened to them in City H, even if he knew it was Bao Yuezhi's fault, he would not be able to touch the other party.

"Eliminate the supernaturalists? I think they are going crazy because they want to become supernatural beings." Xiao Mo didn't believe that Bao Yuezhi would serve the people at all. Although he had never met his father Bao Yiyong, he also rejected supernatural beings. Would Bao Yiyong not know what his son had done?

Qiu Feng, "Originally, I thought there was only a [-]% chance of the authenticity of the Angel Virus you mentioned, but with Bao Yuezhi here, this possibility can rise to [-]%."

"If we have a conflict with Bao Yuezhi, will the military deal with us?" Xiao Mo had to confirm this first.

"I have reached an agreement with Ma Xiang. You just need to complete your tasks. They only protect the survivors in the front and are not responsible for the security of the main building at the rear. But they will not provide you with much help. Once you can When you come out of the main building, they will find a way to hide you, and when the passage is dug, they will send you out, and I will also send someone to help him dig a tunnel from the other end, and try to get you out as soon as possible."

"Thank you."

"But there is one thing. The reason why Bao Yuezhi was evenly matched with Ma Xiang and the others, and even had a slight upper hand, is because he has an irregular army in his hands, with a number of about 100 people. They are all equipped with weapons. Are there any supernatural beings? Clear, but if there is, they must have controlled their minds, you must be very careful."

Xiao Mo frowned. If 100 people were a garrison, it would be very few, but if they were enemies, it would be a lot. "If we are not careful when we clash with Bao Yuezhi..."

Qiu Feng laughed, and his voice was harsh: "Then do it cleanly, there are so many biological experiments there, do you understand?"

Xiao Mo understood in seconds.

"If you can't kill me, you have to teach that bastard for me. What does he think he is, and he dares to talk to me like that? I don't even have the guts!"

Xiao Mo felt that General Qiu was really offended, and he didn't know what Bao Yuezhi said.

Qiu Feng calmed down, "According to the result of the negotiation between me and Na Bao, you are not allowed to move freely. After entering the main building, they will send people to follow you all the way to prevent you from going to the wrong place. So after entering there, everything depends on you." own."

"Well, we will complete the mission as soon as possible. If you haven't heard from me at midnight on the 28th, then our mission will fail."

"What's the point of this time?"

Xiao Mo thought of a reason, "We got news that if we can't find the virus source before 23 o'clock tomorrow night, someone will transfer it away."

Qiu Feng thumped the table, "You should have told me earlier!" In this way, he can send more people to find the virus source together with Xiao Mo.

"Isn't that unsure, the base is so short of manpower now, you see, we didn't even bring our mercenary team's forensic doctor Qian and Wang Cheng." Finally, Xiao Mo accidentally added: "There is a messenger called Cheng Zai is skilled and reliable.”

Qiu Feng wrote down the matter, said something about what Ma Xiang told him, and then hung up the call.

As soon as the contact here was cut off, before Xiao Mo had time to negotiate with Xue Lihong, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room.

A group of hired soldiers in black uniforms appeared outside the meeting room door.

Bao Yuezhi didn't show up, and only sent a team of six to lead the way for Xiao Mo and the two of them while monitoring.

Xiao Mo met acquaintances, and the captain of the soldier who led them was the cool guy who pulled him out of the elevator in Zhongshan No. [-] Hospital.

However, he remembered very clearly that this person was still wearing a formal military uniform at the time, did he change his skin now, or has he already retired?

"Follow me." Ku Nan didn't say much, he turned around and led the way.

Seeing Ma Xiang on the road, Ma Xiang followed them to the part of the passage connecting the front building and the rear main building. Going forward, he would not be able to pass without the invitation from Bao Yuezhi.

Xue Lihong approached Ma Xiang, and quietly handed him a note.At the same time, Ma Xiang quickly stuffed something into his hand.

The cool man clearly saw it, but because of Ma Xiang's identity, he couldn't snatch the note from the other party.

Ma Xiang opened the note and glanced at it, nodded to Xue Lihong, then stuffed the note into his mouth, and chewed hard before swallowing it.

The cool man watched the two of them making ghosts in front of him, but he couldn't stop him. He frowned and said to the two: "You can't carry weapons ahead, and you both have to be checked."

Ma Xiang snorted, "Are you kidding? They have a mission to go to your place to find things without weapons. What if they don't come back?"

The cool man's face remained the same, "Even if they are armed, if they endanger the safety of Yucai Research Institute and the disease center, they will not be able to come back."

"Since that's the case, what's the difference between those who carry weapons and those who don't?" Ma Xiang made it clear that he was on the side of Xiao Mo and the others.

The cool man sneered, "You can discuss it slowly, we can afford to wait."

Xiao Mo was helpless, the other party could afford to wait, but they had no time to waste.

Xue Lihong took down the backpack, shook it upside down, took out some clothes and two bottles of mineral water, and threw the backpack to Ku Nan.

The cool guy checked it carefully.

Xiao Mo broke into a cold sweat. He knew that Xuelihong's backpack was special, but out of respect, he never touched the other party's backpack, and he didn't know what mechanisms were inside.

But from the looks of it, the cool man didn't check anything out, and only thought it was an ordinary backpack.

Xiao Mo also handed the backpack to one of the mercenaries, who took out a utility knife from inside and confiscated it, leaving the other clothes and food untouched.

A mercenary stepped forward and scanned the two people's bodies with a hand-held security detector. The tiny model of this thing can scan the wires in the bug.

The cool man threw the backpack back to Xue Lihong.The two passed the inspection.

Ma Xiang snorted coldly, with a very unhappy expression on his face.

"Open the door." Cool Man stood in front of the connecting door and said.

Ma Xiang opened the connection door with his fingerprint and smart card, nodded to Xiao Mo and the two, and silently said two words: "Be careful."

Xiao Mo also knew that further ahead was Bao Yuezhi's territory, so he naturally raised the utmost caution.

The cool man led the two of them forward in silence, and finally stopped in front of the elevator door at the end of the passage, "Where is the thing you are looking for? Is there a clear location? Tell me, and I will take you there."

"I'm Xiao Mo, what's your name? Do you remember me? At that time in Zhongshan City, you led someone to rescue a person in an elevator, and I was in it. I always wanted to say thank you again, but I didn't expect We will meet again." Xiao Mo thanked him sincerely.

Xue Lihong looked at Xiao Mo, then at Ku Nan, but said nothing.

Ku Nan has met too many people and no longer remembers Xiao Mo, but he still remembers that incident, but this did not change his expression and attitude, and he still said without emotion: "You can call me Linghu."

"Hero Linghu!" Xiao Mo joked calmly.

Linghu and none of his team members changed their expressions, "Where is the thing? Don't waste time."

Xiao Mo rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "My friend at Yucaiyan sent me a simple floor plan. I can't tell where it is, but I probably know which direction to go."

"Where is the picture?"

Xiao Mo raised his finger and pointed to his head, "In my head."

Linghu took a step back to the side, "Let's go."

Xiao Mo looked at the steel door in front of him and said, "This is the elevator, please go to the fifth floor."

Fifth floor?That was the site of the disease center, and what the two were looking for was obviously not aerospace materials or related research materials.

Many people think that the underground main body of Ujaia Research Institute has only four floors, but only a few people know that the fourth floor belongs to the disease center.Few people knew about the existence of the fifth floor, but these two people knew about it, and they wanted to go to the fifth floor.

Linghu pressed his ears to accept the latest instructions.

Xiao Mo glanced sideways and saw a wired earphone plugged into his ear.It seems that although Bao Yuezhi did not show up, he has been remotely controlling behind the scenes, and their every move has probably been transmitted to Bao Yuezhi's eyes through the monitoring equipment everywhere.

Bao Yuezhi was probably also curious about what the two of them were looking for, and because this was his territory, he agreed with Linghu to take them to the fifth floor after a moment of hesitation.

The elevator descends and reaches the fifth basement floor, the door opens, and a bright passage appears.

The lighting here is many times better than that of the front building, just like in normal times, with sufficient electricity.

They saw connected rooms one by one, but the windows facing the passage in each room had curtains or directly blurred the glass, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Suffering from someone's surveillance, Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong were unable to negotiate on the phone, and could only convey simple meanings through their eyes.

Xue Lihong told Xiao Mo to just go forward and not worry about other things.

Xiao Mo guessed that if Bao Yuezhi found out that the target of their mission was his experimental body or something that could arouse his interest, they would not even think about leaving safely with the original virus.

And he also guessed that Xuelihong would definitely do tricks to give him a chance to complete the task, but with people closely monitoring the whole journey, how could Xiaohong do tricks without being noticed?

Communication room in the front building.

Cheng Zai looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to him, and quickly connected the laptop to the host.

No one knew that when he was repairing some communication lines affected by the earthquake last night, he took the opportunity to secretly pick up the surveillance signal from the main building behind.This kind of thing is that those who are difficult will not, and those who will be will not be difficult.But everyone thought that his leg was broken, and they didn't pay attention to him. Who knew that he could walk and run, and he was extremely healthy, hehe!

He thought, he was also doing it for the good of everyone, in case Wang Jinian and Bao Yuezhi played any cheap tricks.

The gang of Wang Jinian and Bao Yuezhi had no interest in helping the survivors at all, and he even felt that those two were raising the survivors as experimental materials.

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong didn't know how dangerous it was to look for things in those two people's territory. He didn't feel at ease if he didn't look at it. After all, brother Xiao is also his life-saving benefactor, isn't he?

The fifth basement of the main building.

Xue Lihong reached into the backpack and took a sip of mineral water, then handed it to Xiao Mo.

Linghu stared at the two of them closely.

Xiao Mo took it, took a big gulp, and handed it back to Xue Lihong.

Xue Lihong put the mineral water bottle into her backpack, and when she took it out, she already had something in her hand.

Fingers touched the switch on the micro-instrument and pressed lightly.

"Hiss—" The faint sound of electric current flashed past.

The lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed.

At the moment when the lights flickered, Xue Lihong quickly took out a dozen transparent balls from the backpack and scattered them on the ground.

Linghu reacted very quickly, reaching out and grabbing Xiao Mo's arm the instant the light went dark.

Xiao Mo didn't dodge, and was caught by the opponent.

The channel is bright again.

Xue Lihong cut Linghu's arm with a palm.

Linghu's arms sank, his face changed, and he led Xiao Mo back two steps.

"Crack! Crack!" The five hired soldiers except Linghu raised their guns and aimed at Xue Lihong.

"Let him go." Xue Lihong didn't seem to see those guns, she only shouted at Linghu.

Linghu made sure that the two of them hadn't done anything wrong, and there was no problem with the lighting, so he let Xiao Mo go.

Xiao Mo rubbed his arms, held back what Linghu wanted to say, and then followed the directions shown in the plan view in his mind to continue walking forward, with Xue Lihong sticking close behind.

Linghu looked at the backs of the two, and his eyes were even more vigilant.The young man who looked as thin as if he had just recovered from a serious illness moved so fast that even he couldn't see clearly, and his shots were heavy.

Linghu also rubbed his arm, the moment he was cut just now, he thought his arm was cut off.

08:45 pm.

Seeing Xiao Mo walking closer and closer to the restricted area, Linghu had no choice but to stop him, "Where is the thing you are looking for?"

"It's right ahead." Xiao Mo was reminded by the system that he was less than 100 meters away from the target in a straight line.

At this moment, Bao Yuezhi could no longer allow the two of them to move forward. The laboratory at the end of the front hides his biggest secret and the reliance on reaching the top in the future. No matter what, he will not let irrelevant people get closer.

For this reason, he immediately sent a message to Linghu, asking him to block the two of them.

The two sides stalemate.

Bao Yuezhi was afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so he rushed there as fast as possible, "What are you looking for? If you can't explain, I can only send you out."

It was the first time that Xiao Mo faced Commissioner Bao head-on, and he took a good look at him first. Seeing that he was still the same person who thought he was modest but actually looked at people with his nose, he smiled from the bottom of his heart and walked slowly. Said: "This is not in the agreement between you and our general Qiu?"

Bao Yuezhi stood among the mercenaries, and said sarcastically: "Qiu Feng's forces are not here, this is my territory, and I have the final say! The front is the important laboratory of the disease center, and no one can approach without permission."

Xiao Mo and Xue Lihong looked at each other, they had already expected this kind of scene.

"Ready?" Xue Lihong asked, pinching his ears suddenly.

Xiao Mo felt a pain in his ears, as if he had been pricked by something.Also, what is ready?

Just as she was about to react, Xue Lihong suddenly threw him down.
