Zhang Heng drove the van and followed the GPS signal to the east of the city.
Bai Qing grabbed the handrail on the top of the van and finally asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time. "When did you get your driver's license?"
"Oh, I don't have a driver's license," Zhang Heng said. After a pause, he added, "But it's okay. As long as I don't get caught by the police, I'll be fine."
"…"
It took Zhang Heng only about twenty minutes to reach his destination, and that was because he had to slow down at several intersections when he saw the traffic police. Fifteen minutes ago, the GPS on the van had stopped moving. Perhaps because Zhang Heng had discovered it, the trackers had moved to another parking lot.
Fortunately, after a short pause, the tracker hidden in the fruit candy box began to move again.
About ten minutes later, the tracker in the fruit candy box also stopped moving.
Bai Qing suddenly became nervous when she saw it. "Did they find something?"
Zhang Heng looked at the location on the map and found that it was a small factory. It was originally a state-owned cannery. After it went bankrupt, the land was sold to a small businessman, and he opened a glass factory there. It had been in business for more than a decade, but the business wasn't bad either. With labor costs and mechanized production getting higher and higher, small factories like this had become more and more difficult to survive.
Zhang Heng parked the van on the next street, in a place where there was no one around.
Now, they were less than two hundred meters away from the tracker.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and said, "Wait for me here."
"Huh?"
Zhang Heng did not explain much. After that, he opened the partition in the back of the van and got in.
Bai Qing was still sitting in the passenger seat, waiting quietly as instructed by Zhang Heng. It was not until she noticed that the tracking device on her mobile phone started to move again that she felt that she should tell Zhang Heng about it. So, she hurriedly opened the partition.
She saw Zhang Heng taking off his clothes, and he was quite thorough. Basically, he was naked except for the bottom piece. Even his shoes and socks were taken off.
Bai Qing's face turned red, and she quickly looked away. She couldn't say what she wanted to say earlier.
Zhang Heng didn't care much about it and changed into a new set of clothes.
Now, he had become a young man who came to the city from the countryside to look for a job.
"We can go back now." Zhang Heng said to Bai Qing while stuffing makeup tools and changed clothes into another bag.
Since Zhang Heng had helped Bai Qing with her makeup before, she knew that Zhang Heng's makeup skills were amazing. However, when she turned her head, she was still a little surprised. Zhang Heng had changed so much that he was almost a completely different person. Not only did he wear different clothes, but his appearance and temperament had also changed drastically. She could no longer recognize his original appearance.
This was the effect of the Level 2 makeup skill. Zhang Heng's current makeup skills were almost on par with Sherlock Holmes', and the field of makeup had been constantly improving. Modern cosmetics were available, and Zhang Heng had more tools at his disposal. He could also make the details more realistic.
"Even if we really want to take action, we'll have to wait until nightfall. I'll go to the factory to explore during the day," Zhang Heng said.
"Yes."
Bai Qing nodded and watched Zhang Heng get out of the car. She thought he would be gone for a long time this time, but he returned in less than a quarter of an hour.
"How did it go?" Bai Qing asked eagerly. This was related to her mother's whereabouts and whether her father could get away with his crime. She was the most anxious person. Initially, she was a little skeptical about what Zhang Heng said, but after witnessing what happened later, she became more and more convinced that there were indeed some things in this world that could not be explained by current science and technology.
"Looks like this is the right place. I pretended to be an applicant and went to the factory, but I was stopped at the entrance. The security guard told me that the factory was not hiring. Even if I said that as long as my food and accommodation were provided, I would not be paid for the first two months. Under normal circumstances, the factory would hire me for two months before firing me. However, the guard didn't even report this matter to the higher-ups. After that, I asked the workers in the factories next door. They sometimes visited each other, but few of them went to that factory. "
Zhang Heng paused and continued, "I couldn't see what was going on inside the factory from the gate. From the old photos I found on the Internet, the workshop's gate was supposed to be facing the factory gate. But now, it seems to be sealed off, and the gate is on the other side. This doesn't make sense at all. It means that we have to walk half a circle to get to and from work. And the number of cameras in the factory is obviously much higher than normal."
"Can we sneak in at night?"
"It's going to be difficult," Zhang Heng said. "On the way back, I met a courier. He said that even if he couldn't enter the factory, he would always leave the delivery at the gate."
"This factory is so strange. Won't the workers inside suspect something?"
Zhang Heng did not answer. Since this place was likely the nest of those things, it was very likely that they had replaced all the workers working inside. According to the people nearby, there were about a hundred people working in this factory, which was not a small number.
Even if they didn't have any abilities, their sheer numbers alone would be enough to make all the invaders suffer.
And the problem now was that there was not much time left for the two to prepare. The tracker in the candy box helped them find this place, but it was also a time bomb. Sooner or later, it would be discovered, and the other party would definitely realize that someone had already noticed this place.
The situation was a little unfavorable for the two.
Zhang Heng could clearly feel that the difficulty of the agent quest was much higher than ordinary quests. Although it was a rare modern setting, the unknown enemies, besieged on all sides, and dangerous environment made him feel like he was playing chess blindfolded. All he could do was test his moves, and he didn't know what kind of impact his every move would bring. As a result, he couldn't use many of his previous tricks.
And judging from the understanding those things had of human society, the modern rules of the game had more constraints on Zhang Heng. He was not even as free as he was in the previous western quest. If he didn't count the extra 24 hours that he exchanged for a lot of time, he was actually nearing the deadline of the mission. And he hadn't killed a single alien yet. He wondered how the other agents were doing. Would it be better if he worked in a team instead of fighting alone?
