Gold sale

"Meteorite?"

Seeing these two words, the four of them were all startled.

Zhou Jing: "...I remember, the thing stolen in the theft case of the Natural History Museum in City B was a meteorite, right?"

"That's right. A huge meteorite weighing 5 tons is worth millions of gold." Cheng Xuyuan said, frowning: "Perhaps just as Su Ji guessed before, these cases may be connected in series."

Xu Hui: "You mean...the meteorite that was stolen is the kind of meteorite that was written in this report? The thief is actually related to Adam Biopharmaceutical?"

"There is a great possibility." Cheng Xuyuan lowered his brows in thought, "The earthquake in City C in 1966 exposed this kind of meteorite that had been buried underground. These people from Adam Pharmaceuticals discovered the utility of this meteorite, and Using it on EL intends to counteract its side effects. But because the output of this meteorite is not much, the problem of insufficient raw materials appeared in the later stage of the research. Then..."

Zhou Wen took over the conversation: "Then they focused on the meteorite in the Museum of Natural History in City B?"

Cheng Xuyuan nodded, "It should be so."

[Congratulations to the player for successfully unlocking the main plot "Shocking Theft", the current plot exploration rate is 50%, please continue to work hard! 】

Hearing the game's sudden report, the four couldn't help but look at each other.

"Shocking...theft?" Zhou Wen blinked, a little inexplicably: "Why is the name of the main plot? Aren't we in the research base of Adam Biopharmaceuticals? There is also a plot exploration rate of 50%? We actually changed the plot so quickly." Halfway through the progress?"

Cheng Xuyuan carefully checked the task panel, then pushed the mirror frame and said, "I'm afraid this dungeon is not as simple as we imagined."

Zhou Wen was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Cheng Xuyuan: "Take a closer look at the task progress bar."

Hearing this, Zhou Wen immediately clicked on the task panel to check.Then I saw two completely different colors appear on the progress bar in front of me. 30% red and 20% yellow.The 50% progress bar is composed of these two colors.

Zhou Wen's eyes widened unexpectedly, "What's the situation? Why is the progress bar divided into two parts?"

As he said that, he clicked on the red progress bar, and saw three familiar IDs appear on it, and the one at the head was Su Ji.And a box appears below the progress bar.It contains part of the truth about some thefts.

"So that's what the theft is all about." After reading the above content, Zhou Wen couldn't help but marvel in a low voice: "It's incredible that he could think of deceiving the world in this way."

On the side, Zhou Jing clicked on the yellow progress bar at the back, and the IDs of the four of them were impressively written on it.

"It seems that the dungeon this time is the same as the special dungeon last time. It needs to be acted in groups." Zhou Jing said thoughtfully: "Su Ji, Shaofeng and Liu Wenhan are in a group, and we are in a group of four. Then the remaining three It should be Wuguang, Wuchang and the newly added Black Flag."

Cheng Xuyuan nodded: "Each group is located in a different place, and the clues we are looking for are also different. But basically, we can't get away from those four key points—"

"The UFO crash in City T, the earthquake in City C, the huge robbery of Adam Biopharmaceutical Company and the Natural History Museum in City B." Xu Hui paused: "It seems that these events can be merged into a complete line."

Zhou Wen: "If that's the case, then will Wuchang and the others be the ones pushing the progress of the plot next?"

Cheng Xuyuan nodded slightly: "Maybe."

……

"Is this thing really a meteorite?"

Looking at the black and seemingly inconspicuous little iron block in front of him, Wu Guang couldn't help but widen his eyes.He took the small piece of iron with disbelief and checked it over and over again, "But this thing looks like a piece of ordinary scrap iron no matter how you look at it."

Black Flag nodded in agreement: "And it's the kind of steel slag left over from steelmaking in a steel factory."

"If it were ordinary scrap copper and iron, those guys wouldn't come here in the middle of the night to dig and collect like this." As he said that, he saw the martial field pouted towards the hillside not far away, and saw the huge soil A large circle of dim yellow light bulbs surrounded the edge of the pit.Under the illumination of the dim light, in the darkness, more than ten meters of workers in gray one-piece overalls and hard hats were bending over and rummaging around in the pit deftly.

There was a white sack by each of them's feet, and the sack contained more or less meteorites similar to the "scrap iron block" in Wu Guang's hand.

They worked silently with picks, picking meteorites, and no one spoke during the whole process.This turned the supposedly bustling construction site into a dead silence, which was a bit weird to watch.

Instinctively, Wu Guang touched his arm with a little hair, "Why don't these people talk? It looks weird."

"Maybe there is someone supervising the work." Hei Qi thought for a while and said, "Generally, when the boss or superior is around, employees don't chat."

Wu Guang took a look, "But... I don't see any supervisors either."

Hei Qi shrugged, "Then I don't know."

Wuchang: "There was an earthquake here about a month ago. Although the magnitude was not high, it still shook some rocks and trees in such a remote suburb. There is a farm nearby. The owner of the farm picked up a piece of it while grazing. Meteorite. He didn't know what it was at the time, but he thought the shape of the stone was very special, so he picked it up and wanted to play with his youngest son. He never thought that this child would be caught by a passerby when he was playing with stones on the side of the road. The geologist found it, and he concluded that the rock was a meteorite. He also said that this place was once a gathering place for meteor showers."

"Half a month after that, people came here one after another. Among those people were astronomy enthusiasts, journalists, and even speculators who wanted to make a fortune by relying on meteorites. These people all dreamed of being able to I picked up meteorites here, but they returned without exception. Until three days ago, this group of people came here."

As he said that, Wuchang paused and looked at the black truck parked not far from the cave, "They explored around here, and finally found the meteorite mine in this collapsed cave."

Looking at the task progress bar that has grown a lot in front of him, Hei Qi folded his arms and leaned against the tree trunk, tilting his head and asked, "These mining workers are probably sent by the group from Adam Biopharmaceutical Company, right?"

Wuchang: "...Obviously, yes."

"Why are you so sure?" Although he had already learned part of the truth from the main storyline unlocked by other teammates, Wu Guang couldn't help but slap his younger brother, "The car didn't have the company information of Adam Biopharmaceuticals on it. The workers have not revealed their identities either."

"It's very simple." Wuchang paused and said, "Because I saw a person just now."

Looking in the direction of Wuchang's fingers, the two caught a glimpse of Yi Chang's figure under the shade of a tree in the distance.Because the night was dark and the other party had been standing under the shade of a tree before, no one noticed that there was another person standing there just now.

Seeing Heiqi smiled complacently: "What did I say? There must be someone supervising the work. Otherwise, those workers wouldn't be so quiet."

"..."

Wu Guang didn't respond, but only looked at Wuchang: "What does this have to do with what you just said? Why is this person related to Adam Biopharmaceutical Company?"

Wuchang: "Look carefully at that person's face."

Hearing this, Wu Guang hesitated, took out the binoculars in his arms suspiciously, and met the figure under the shade of the tree.

In the next moment, a young and handsome face came into view.

The man in front of him was blond and blue-eyed. He was dressed in an elegant handmade suit. He looked like a nobleman who often went to high-class receptions in film and television dramas. His gestures and gestures carried an extremely attractive charm.But it seemed particularly strange for such a person to appear in such a wilderness now.

But compared to these, he was more surprised by the other party's face.

"This... Isn't this the man in that photo?!" Wu Guang couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice.

In the copy of "Madhouse", he and A Chang once found a group photo.In the center of the photo is a group of scientists in white coats, including Professor Wu.But the most eye-catching and interesting one is not Professor Wu, but a young Western man named Smith.

In the photo, Smith is wearing an expensive tailor-made suit, and his dazzling blond hair and a handsome face make him look more like a god.

Such a superior face is not common in life, but as long as you see it once, the memory will be very deep.

And the blond man under the shade of the tree in front of them exactly coincided with the face they remembered.

That man is Smith!

"Now do you understand?" Wuchang slowly turned his head to look at his elder brother, "Why was I so sure just now?"

Wu Guang curled his lips and remained silent.

"But there's one thing I can't figure out."

Wu Chang then continued: "It is 1966 now, based on the age of Professor Wu in that photo, at this point in time, this man named Smith should not have been born yet."

Hearing this, Wu Guang was slightly taken aback.He carefully recalled what his younger brother said just now, and then his expression changed suddenly.I was so shocked just now that I didn't even notice such a detail!

Indeed, according to the normal timeline, the man named Smith should not have existed in 1966.But right now, the other party was actually standing in front of them.

So, what the hell is going on here? !

Is the other party really Smith?Or is it because they misunderstood everything, and the person in front of them is just a person who looks like him?

Just when he was puzzled, Hei Qi, who had been silently watching the movements of the workers, suddenly spoke——

"Look, what is that?"
