32 days

The reason why they gained the upper hand in the process of fighting against the spies was because they didn't let Cheng Sisi become their weakness, otherwise, even if Yi Alan could control the human-machines in the entire R&D center, he wouldn't dare to kill the other party so easily— If Yi Alan needs to know the whereabouts of Cheng Sisi from Fang Yeran.

Perhaps Fang Yeran was somewhat confident because of this.

Yi Alan doesn't believe in evil. After returning to the normal world last time and listening to Yan Fei analyze Cheng Siyuan's last words, Yi Alan has been thinking about a problem.

Was the spy just that lucky?

After the spies learned that Cheng Siyuan's sister had survived 32 days in a distant city, why did they find an accomplice to control Cheng Sisi and threaten Cheng Siyuan in the first place?You must know that it was the third time that the 32nd phenomenon occurred. Most people were still in a state of ignorance and fear, and the population retention rate on the 32nd was quite low. Traffic restrictions, being able to rush to Cheng Sisi's side quickly), the population of his faction is too dense, which makes people wonder if Fang Yeran's faction did something wrong on the 32nd, but this is too unbelievable, if they If you can achieve 32 days, why bother to stick to Plan S.

Yi Alan also specifically consulted Yan Fei, espionage activities are highly confidential, and the spy himself only communicates with his administrator.Apart from the relevant persons in charge and joint operations, the employees of the same intelligence department basically do not know what spies are under the hands of other colleagues and what secret operations are being carried out.As Fang Yeran was recruited as a spy, it was impossible for him to know the various personnel of the other party's intelligence department, let alone contact them when a disaster struck.

It is also impossible to contact through the security response system, because the database shows that the first time Fang Yeran sent a message in the response system was after Cheng Sisi was under control.

It's even more impossible to plan through the normal world. Under the nose of the R&D center, Fang Yeran can't send out too complicated information to the outside world.

So, who is helping Fang Yeran?How did Fang Yeran contact him?

Could it be Fang Yeran's other friends?But the core question is still that one, how did Fang Yeran accurately contact another surviving friend in such a short time and such a chaotic 32 days?It's not like asking one by one according to the mobile phone address book, and someone just answered it.

Yi Alan couldn't figure it out, could it really only be attributed to the good luck of Fang Yeran and the forces behind him?

At that time, Yi Alan was thinking hard about this problem, and did not seek to understand it, so she subconsciously wanted to use Joker's power on the Internet to find out the identity of the spy and his partner.But he also knows that with Joker's absolutely neutral style of doing things, he will definitely not intervene in disputes between countries to help him.

The community on the 32nd is the best proof. Joker provides a safe communication forum, and no one is allowed to use hacking methods to steal user information, but it never restricts the freedom of speech of users in the community. They can advocate evil/religion and insult swear words , you can disclose information and then contact offline...

Self-disclosure information!Contact offline!

Yi Alan remembered the post he saw in the 32nd community. Several people left their contact information, and anyone who can log in to the 32nd community can see it!

Yi Alan still clearly remembers that one is a rich man with strict wife control in the normal world but wants to take care of his lover on the 32nd. He is from overseas; the other is an electrician in Dongling City. Residents of Ling City return to the normal world and transfer money to that account, then he will continue to maintain the power generation facilities of Dongling City on the 32nd; there is also a young man from a drug trafficking organization. All the drugs in the box became his private property, so he continued to sell drugs on the 32nd in a whimsical way, and left his phone number, hoping that anyone interested could contact him.

From this, Yi Alan came up with a bold idea. As a correspondent, the spy would definitely pay attention to the network dynamics after the incident on the 32nd. He may be one of the first people in China to enter the 32nd community. Of course he See posts that leave contact information.

The spy realized that he could use Cheng Sisi to control Cheng Sisi, but he had to let Cheng Sisi really be controlled by him, let Cheng Siyuan be cautious, be obedient, and dare not just fly a fighter jet to rescue Cheng Sisi, so he thought of finding On the 32nd, a person who exposed his contact information in the community used money to buy the other party to do things for him-of course he would not explain exactly what he was going to do. Not everyone dares to commit treason, and the other party must not be very concerned about it. It's just taking care of the little girl, it's no big deal.

When Yi Alan guessed this step, he excitedly applied from Luo Caiyu to see Cheng Sisi. He asked in detail about the situation when the accomplice came to Cheng Sisi's side, the person's appearance, personality, and work style.In Cheng Sisi's mouth, that big brother looks dark, doesn't cook well, loves to play games, isn't aggressive towards her but isn't very patient, all in all, he is an unreliable young man, he doesn't Knowing that I am actually performing the task of guarding, it is quite casual and leisurely.

This further confirms Yi Alan's conjecture that spies must prefer drug dealers to criminals compared to state-owned electricians.The dark skin is most likely caused by tanning in the process of drug trafficking in country M in the tropical country. The bottom-level personnel of the drug trafficking organization are foolish, not vicious, and willing to do things for money regardless of the reason.

If that's the case, they don't have to be pinned down by spies!

Yi Alan later shared her thoughts with Zhou Yan'an.Zhou Yan'an didn't know that there were so many interesting things happening in the community on the 32nd, but after listening to Yi Alan's analysis, he also felt that it made sense.

So they made a new plan based on this inference.

This requires Meng Qi's help.

Yi Alan asked Meng Qiyi to enter the 32nd, not to worry about his physics experiments, but to log into the 32nd community, find the posts that exposed his contact information, and first call the drug dealer, pretending that he bought drugs The wishes of the drug dealers.

Meng Qi did so. Fortunately, the other party's mobile phone was still connected.

After Meng Qi said that he wanted to buy some drugs to try on the 32nd, the other party was a little embarrassed: "I can't walk away, so I can't send it to you."

Meng Qi said: "Where are you? I'm in Nanyue City. It's not far from you, can I drive to pick up the goods? I'm tired of working overtime every day, and I want to take a few breaths to relax. Don't worry, the price will not be less your."

The other party was overjoyed: "Nanyue City? That's great! It's not far away, I'm in Nanxing City, and you can drive there in an hour! How about it, let's meet at Southern Star Cross Square."

Meng Qi is not in Nanyue City, but they all know that Cheng Sisi's home is in Nanxing City. He deliberately said in advance that this city is next to Nanxing City. If the other party is really hired by a spy to guard Cheng Sisi, with his greedy character, he will definitely fall for the bait. of.

After Liu Jinyue put on his flight suit and flew the helicopter, he didn't rush to the Qingyun Mountains to rescue Yi Alan and Zhou Yan'an. Instead, he flew to the place where Meng Qi was, and gave Meng Qi a miniature button locator with monitoring function. Meng Qi drove to Nanyue City, and then the two of them each carried a quantum communication machine, and they split up.

Considering that the spies are most likely to be communicators who will listen to the radio signals near the R&D center, they did not use satellite phones, but used quantum communication machines with stronger confidentiality.

The quantum communication machine that Liu Jinyue was able to obtain was not very perfect, and could not transmit complex information to each other, but it didn't matter, they had already agreed that if things went well, they would just send a fixed signal.

When Liu Jinyue drove the helicopter and received Zhou Yanan and Yi Alan at dawn, the square quantum communication machine successfully received the signal from Meng Qi—everything went smoothly as expected.

Meng Qi found an available car with a local license plate in Nanyue City, drove for an hour to Nanxing City, and successfully met with the drug dealer.The appearance of the drug dealer was exactly the same as Cheng Sisi's description, and Meng Qi stuffed the miniature locator into the opponent's pocket while exchanging pleasantries.

The drug dealer would return to seven-year-old Cheng Sisi with a locator with an error of no more than ten meters.

Yi Alan put away the quantum communicator and has nothing to worry about.

This time, luck was on their side.

After clearing and destroying the R&D center, Yi Alan made a phone call with Meng Qi while flying to Nanxing City.

Meng Qi was waiting for them at the appointed place. The monitor in his hand that was used with the locator was also operating normally. A small red light was on on the screen. It shows that it is a high-end community.Fang Yeran must have told the drug dealer to take Cheng Sisi to transfer. Based on the principle of not taking advantage of the cheap, he naturally chose the best residence in the city, lived the luxurious life of the underworld boss in the movie, smoked cigars and drank from the cabinet. saffron

Yi Alan hung up the phone, let out a long breath, and leaned back on the seat. At this time, the scenery outside the window had the meaning of being appreciated, representing openness and magnificence, rather than endless emptiness and nothingness.

"Great." Yi Alan said, "We rescued Cheng Sisi."

Zhou Yan'an also said, "Yes, that's great."

Yi Alan smiled, and suddenly exclaimed and straightened her back.

Zhou Yan'an hurriedly turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yi Alan said: "Joker is really amazing!"

Zhou Yanan looked at him puzzled.

Yi Alan explained: "Meng Qi met the drug dealer, which proved that our original guess was correct. Fang Yeran contacted outsiders through the community on the 32nd to help him. But do you still remember, I just searched for the general manager in the R&D center. The database did not find any traces of accessing the 32nd community. This cannot be done by Fang Yeran. At most, he can only delete the traces of his computer's browser and hard disk, and he will not be able to enter the database at all, otherwise he would not Do not delete the traces of access to the security response system. There can only be one answer, and that is what joker did. Like the Internet utopia he envisioned, he made every user who logs in to the 32nd community leave no traces. This way, no one can trace the address of the community.”

Yi Alan couldn't help sighing: "Why is he so powerful." After a pause, he said: "But this should be limited to the 32nd. First, there are enough idle computers to superimpose computing power. Secondly, the modified database even if the firewall No one will answer his throat, he can calmly intervene."

Zhou Yanan thought for a while and said, "Does this mean that as long as the Internet can reach, Joker can also reach?"

Yi Alan nodded: "As long as he wants to, it's only a matter of time. But it seems that he doesn't really want to."

"I hope so."

Yi Alan didn't know what to say to comfort Zhou Yan'an's pessimistic tone, and he himself just believed in Joker somehow.

Meng Qi was waiting for Zhou Yan'an at the entrance of an expressway in Nanxing City. The weather was very hot at noon, so he hid in the car and turned on the air conditioner.It wasn't until he heard the sound of the helicopter that Meng Qi got out of the comfortable compartment and waved a red flag.

Considering that the helicopter was too noisy entering the city, Zhou Yan'an stopped directly on the highway, and then they drove into the city to find Cheng Sisi.

Yi Alan jumped out of the helicopter with one leg first, while Zhou Yanan was picking up some simple weapons and equipment.

Seeing that there were only two of them, Meng Qi was startled: "Where is... the old man?"

Yi Alan said, "Stay in the R&D center."

Meng Qi's expression changed again.

Yi Alan noticed the misunderstanding, and quickly added: "Grandpa Liu asked to stay in the research and development center to accompany the fighter plane. He is fine, not injured, no accident."

"Oh." Meng Qi made a false alarm.

Yi Alan laughed, this Meng Qi usually looked low-key and indifferent, and never took the initiative to talk to them, but he still cared about their safety in his heart.

Zhou Yanan put on the tactical vest stuffed with small tools again, hung a light machine gun on his chest, and put a pistol on his waist, and he was ready to get on the car.

Meng Qi handed the locator display to Zhou Yan'an: "Brother Cool, here you are." Then he said to Yi Alan who was also sitting in the back row: "It's the first time I've seen such a cool Brother Bing."

Yi Alan laughed and said, "Me too."

Zhou Yan'an calmly accepted the compliment from the two people behind him, stepped on the accelerator, and drove in the direction indicated by the monitor.

About 10 minutes later, Zhou Yan'an stopped the car, and they had already entered the urban area. One kilometer ahead was a villa area in a high-end residential area, and the drug dealer with Cheng Sisi was inside.

"You are waiting for me here." Zhou Yan'an said.

Yi Alan and Meng Qi poked their heads out of one side of the car window, watching Zhou Yanan run softly and quickly into the villa area, stopped when approaching one of the villas, compared the specific location given by the locator, and went around to the back of the villa .

Yi Alan and Meng Qi couldn't see anyone, they drew their heads back and waited.

In the silence, Meng Qi suddenly asked Yi Alan: "Have you seen the news?"

Yi Alan asked: "What news?"

"An old man," Meng Qi said, "had cancer. During postoperative recovery and chemotherapy, he stabbed to death two patients in the same ward with a fruit knife and stabbed three nurses."

Yi Alan could only say: "No."

"Just the news not long ago." Meng Qi said calmly, "After the old man was controlled by the police, he kept crying, saying that he didn't want to die, that he was just unbalanced and didn't see himself dying. Why should other patients like him Can he survive? But his attending doctor said that his cancer was only in the middle and advanced stages, and he recovered well after surgery. Although the chemotherapy and radiotherapy were painful, he could live for a few more years if he persisted. For his age, The extra years of life are well earned. The doctors kept reassuring him, but he didn't believe it. The doctors and the police concluded that he was deranged from illness, and that he was always talking nonsense."

Yi Alan turned his head to look at Meng Qi, feeling depressed, he had a premonition of something.

Meng Qi continued: "The old man always said that the doctor didn't operate on him, and his condition had deteriorated, and he was dying of pain. He couldn't live anymore. The date of his operation was June 6."

Yi Alan sighed softly.

He couldn't agree with the old man's murderous behavior, but equally, he probably would never be able to imagine how helpless the terminally ill old man was in an empty hospital on the 5nd after May 31st.After enduring every pain of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and seeing the hope of living in a trance, I will always experience the 32 days when the cancer cells are still raging in the body. Because of fear and panic, the cancer cells spread faster.

Meng Qi said lightly: "If you have read the news and seen the old man's appearance, you will sincerely hope that no one will lose hope because of the 32nd."

When Zhou Yan'an broke in through the second floor window of the villa, Cheng Sisi's hope followed the hot summer sun and poured into the house.

The drug dealer was sitting on the sofa, facing the window with the curtains drawn, his feet resting on the coffee table full of imported food, and his mobile phone playing a small single-player game fell on the expensive Persian rug. He was almost stunned.

When he reacted, he saw the muzzle of the machine gun aimed at himself.

He raised his hands skillfully in horror, knelt down and shouted: "Don't kill me! I'm just an errand runner, and it's none of my business!"

Zhou Yanan said, "I am a policeman."

The drug dealer asked absurdly: "There are also police in this world?"

Zhou Yanan said: "This world is not a place outside the law. Of course there are police. I hope you remember this and stop doing illegal and criminal things."

The drug dealer nodded quickly and said: "Comrade police, I sold some heroin today before I really had time to do something bad, and I haven't received the money yet. I'm going to recover the heroin now!" Going to pick up the phone, I was startled by a bullet that hit the sofa, and quickly raised my hand higher.

Zhou Yan'an asked, "Where's the little girl with you?"

The drug dealer was taken aback: "Ah, you know that too? She's in the next room. I treated her very well. I turned on the air conditioner for her, cooked her food, and gave her Haagen-Dazs. Haagen-Dazs in this world Dass eats a bite and loses a bite, I really didn't abuse her at all!"

"Why did you bring the little girl here?"

The drug dealer immediately told the truth: "I don't know, but someone called me and asked me to come to Nanxing City to find an address, saying that there is a little girl there who needs to be taken care of, as long as I take her away and take care of her... ..." Speaking of guilt, the drug dealer's eyes flickered: "Occasionally wait for that person to call, and say a few words together, and that person will give me a sum of money."

Zhou Yanan asked, "How did you get the money?"

The drug dealer said: "After receiving the little girl, the first time I returned to the normal world, I didn't receive the money. I thought that person lied to me, but I received it the second time. It was called from an overseas account."

The cause and effect were similar to what Yi Alan guessed. After understanding the specific situation, Zhou Yanan said, "Take me to find the little girl now. Remember, after returning to the normal world this time, you should contact someone and tell her your bank account information. He, don't worry, we're just checking some news and won't confiscate your money. But in the future, don't engage in illegal and criminal activities. "

Zhou Yan'an gave him Zheng Duo's phone number.

"Yes, yes, yes!" The drug dealer nodded, stood up cautiously, and took the key to open the door of the next room.

Cheng Sisi was sitting on the floor eating, saw the door opened, saw Zhou Yan'an's attire, dropped the food, ran over happily, hugged Zhou Yan'an's thigh, blinked her big cute eyes and asked, "Are you my brother?" Sent to save me?"

Zhou Yanan was a little moved.

When Cheng Sisi ran towards the gun, Zhou Yan'an remembered that cruel moment five years ago.The child up to his waist, the childlike cheeks and eyes, the bomb tied up, the anxious shouting behind him, the fallen body, the flying debris... The memory turned into a phantom again, burning like karmic fire.

But Cheng Sisi passed through those phantoms, passed through the distance that those children never crossed, and came to him with a lively laughter.

Cheng Sisi raised her head and stared at Zhou Yan'an: "Brother, why are you crying?"
