"Why aren't they here yet?"
Looking at the pitch-black tunnel entrance, Ding Liwei frowned.
Standing behind him was the trump card of the Second Militia Corps, which was the famous power armor company in Shangjing. The purpose of this force was built before the war to maintain stability after the war, but in terms of equipment configuration, it referred to the configuration of the Pan-Asian Army infantry brigade-level combat units. Except for the fact that there was no additional support company, the entire infantry brigade was used for stability purposes.
The reason why this configuration was adopted was mainly because experts from the Academy of Social Sciences analyzed that the war could last for twenty or even forty years, all the way to the end of the century. However, no one expected that in just three years, this war exhausted the last trace of the civilized world.
When they woke up, they didn't face hungry refugees and separatists, but zombies and mutants everywhere. With advanced pre-war equipment, they were almost invincible on the wasteland. It was with this power armor company that Ding Liwei defeated the mutated human forces in Shangjing and facilitated the establishment of the Survivors Alliance.
The wait was long. Just when Ding Liwei began to feel impatient, a figure walked over from the dark tunnel entrance.
The moment the footsteps sounded, a rifle immediately aimed at the entrance.
"It's me."
The searchlight was turned on. When Ding Liwei saw the face, his eyebrows relaxed and he signaled the subordinates behind him to lower their muzzles. Just when he was about to ask why this guy came so late, Wan Peng's disheveled appearance made him stop talking.
"You're finally … What happened to you? Where's Su Xiang? "
"He can't make it." Wan Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said with a gloomy expression, "We encountered some trouble on the way."
The gray suit was tattered, and the left sleeve had even been shredded into strips of cloth, revealing the cuffs of the white shirt. There were also a few abrasions on his face. Judging from his dusty appearance, it was obvious that something bad had just happened.
"Russians?" Ding Liwei said solemnly.
"It's that idiot named Shura, he's still holding the coffin for the Pan-Asian Cooperation." Wan Peng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and said gloomily, "But we better hurry. As long as the Russians aren't deaf, they should have already discovered that there is a problem with Line 27."
"Where's the card?"
"It's on me." Wan Peng pointed at his chest.
After taking in a deep breath, Ding Liwei turned around and glanced at his men. He gestured to his adjutant to get ready to set off and turned to Wan Peng.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
The power armors took the lead, and Wan Peng and Ding Liwei walked at the back of the team. Without another word, the group continued to walk into the depths of the tunnel.
The steel armor stepped on the cement road, producing a sonorous sound that echoed in the empty tunnel.
Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel.
Ding Liwei raised his hand and everyone stopped in their tracks.
Right in front of them was a circular steel gate.
Like a huge gear, it was embedded at the end of the tunnel, like a shield, guarding the last and biggest secret of the Pan-Asian Cooperation.
This secret should have been guarded for fifty years. According to its logic, the glory of Pan-Asia should be reborn on this devastated land. However, under the watchful eyes of the people guarding it, they had to unlock the shackles on it in advance.
Two lines of large words painted white lay quietly on the cold steel, like the solemn and great dogma on the statue of God, implementing the covenant established by Asian countries during the Cold War era.
[Pan-Asia Cooperation, Glory to the Ancestors]
[Subway Line 0]
Walking forward, Wan Peng took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart. He took out the dark green card from his bosom.
However, when his hand came into contact with the steel door, the heart of this ambitious and ruthless man surged with hesitation.
He turned around and looked at Ding Liwei.
"Are you ready?"
"Do we have any other choice?" Ding Liwei grinned.
Wan Peng nodded.
"You're right."
Then, he pushed the card into the slot of the gear.
The earth trembled uneasily, and dust fell from the top of the tunnel.
Accompanied by a dull and distant noise, the gear slowly turned, just like the wheel of history, rolling towards an unknown and destined direction …
…
"How is it? Can you do it? " He squatted down next to Yao Yao and looked at the strings of characters that he couldn't understand on the holographic screen.
"No problem! Leave it to Yao Yao! "
In Ding Liwei's office at the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building, Yao Yao was sitting in the corner with a tablet computer. Her slender fingers quickly clicked on the tablet, and her clear pupils reflected lines of codes and symbols that did not match her age.
From the moment her hands touched the tablet, the soft and cute temperament was swept away from her. Her petite body was like a coder, and her eyes flashed with a shrewdness that Jiang Chen had never seen before.
They say that men are more attractive when they are serious? Could it be that this principle also applies to women?
Or, it's just a kind of contrast …
Just as Jiang Chen was pondering this question out of boredom, Yao Yao pressed the last button, her hands left the tablet, and leaned against the wall. As she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, a triumphant smile appeared on her cute little mouth.
"It's done!"
"Success?! So fast! "
"Hmph, it's okay to be surprised." Yao Yao proudly raised her small chest, moved her fingers again, and gently pushed a holographic screen in front of Jiang Chen. "Security access. The surveillance video is here … Huh? Strange, why is the elevator surveillance missing? Was it removed? "
Looking at the holographic screen, Wan Peng walked to the elevator, Jiang Chen's eyes flashed, and a curvature appeared on his face.
"It seems that the problem is with the elevator."
The cameras of the entire building were in operation, but the elevator camera was removed. Jiang Chen didn't believe that there were no ghosts in the elevator.
"I think so too … Wait, there are traces of intrusion in the security system." Yao Yao frowned. "The IP and device number are unknown, and the time of intrusion was one hour ago. After someone obtained the security system access, they entered a subsystem encrypted as' Conference Room Desk and Chair Purchase Record '. "
"You mean, someone hacked into the security system of the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building an hour ago?" Jiang Chen frowned.
"Yes."
"How is the technology of the other party?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Their strength should be about the same as mine." Yao Yao nodded her head solemnly and thought seriously. "But my hardware equipment should be more powerful than his. After all, Lin Lin helped me upgrade it."
Being told by a little girl who looked at most twelve or thirteen years old that their strength was about the same, Greyhound would probably find a piece of tofu to kill himself if he heard this.
But it made sense. It was already more than twenty years after the apocalypse. Unless it was a survivor like Yao Yao who didn't have to worry about making a living, no one would be bored to hone their computer skills. If it was a survivor who just got out of the hibernation program, it would be fine, but for those who lived from World War III to the present, professional knowledge was fed to the zombies eight lifetimes ago.
"Regardless of who hacked into the system," Jiang Chen said in a deep voice, "Is there a way to track where Wan Peng went?"
"Not before, but now there is." Yao Yao's eyes were filled with excitement, and her fingers tapped on the tablet. "If you can't find the footprints of the prey, then follow the footprints of the hunter. If the person who hacked into the security system is aiming for the same purpose as us, then we only need to follow the clues he left in the security system, and we can definitely find something — found it! "
Before she finished, Yao Yao waved her little fist excitedly.
Jiang Chen quickly moved closer and looked at the holographic screen.
"This is?"
"The correct way to use the elevator of the Pan-Asia Cooperation Building! By using a specific search button, you can reach the negative twenty-first floor that doesn't exist, leading to the emergency escape passage for Pan-Asia Cooperation officials … "
