Switzerland, Zurich City.
In the evening, Winn, who was in his sixties, wore a black trench coat and a black top hat. He walked slowly out of the Blackwatch Research Institute and walked toward a nineties-style Porsche car on the side of the road.
Winn was already very old. He originally had high blood pressure, diabetes, and several other geriatric diseases and complications, and his hair was almost all white. However, since a few months ago, after a trip to the African branch base, which was the Eco Science City, when he came back, he looked completely different.
His hair had returned to black again, the wrinkles on his face had been reduced by more than half, his pair of dry yellow eyes had become more moist, and his figure was not as stooped as an old man but much straighter.
At first glance, Winn did not seem to be an old man in his sixties, but a middle-aged man in his early forties.
Everyone knew that this was the result of receiving the age-reversal treatment program. All the elderly who had undergone this treatment could miraculously be pulled back from old age to middle-age.
This was not just a youthful appearance, but also an all-round change in physical fitness, which was enough to make anyone rush to it.
However, the price of this treatment program was really expensive. The most basic treatment program cost more than 500,000 US dollars, not to mention the more luxurious and exquisite programs. At present, only a very small number of rich people and a small number of middle-class people in the world had the financial resources and qualifications to extend their lives.
Even though the user group was not large, even though there were sanatoriums all over the world secretly carrying out the same treatment program, as the most authoritative and most famous Eco Science City, the reservation here was still queued up for more than two years.
At this time, Winn, the general manager of the Swiss branch of Blackwatch, walked into his car while humming a Zurich folk song. He knew that in thirty minutes, there would be a date waiting for him.
Yes, as early as twenty years ago, Winn had divorced his wife and lived a life of debauchery alone. It was only until ten years ago that his body gradually became unable to bear the burden, so he stopped.
However, now, the Eco Science City had given him a second chance, so as a dissolute playboy by nature, his heart naturally became restless again.
However, just as he got into the car and was about to start it, he suddenly looked at the rearview mirror of the car.
In his perception, it seemed that someone was sitting in the back seat.
However, as he looked up, he saw that the back seat was empty and there was nothing.
"An illusion?"
Wynn shook his head, laughed at himself, and started the car.
Then, Wynn drove to the place that he had discussed with his date in advance — Page Hotel.
Zurich was not a bustling city. The population density here was extremely low. If it was not the city's business district but some remote roads, there was almost no trace of anyone except for a few occasional cars.
At this time, Wynn drove the car to a remote path.
Along the way, Wynn was humming the Zurich tune. However, just as he was about to pass through the path in front of him, a black car suddenly cut across from behind him. The speed was far faster than the speed limit of the supermarket area, which gave Wynn a fright.
"Damn it!"
Wynn hurriedly swerved to avoid the other party's car, but what made him a little angry was that not only did the other party not overtake him directly, but they also swerved to his side as if they wanted to stop his car.
Helpless, Wynn hurriedly stepped on the brakes and reduced the speed of the Porsche.
But even so, the other party still refused to give up. He simply parked the car in front of Wynn, blocking the entire one-way street and completely blocking Wynn's way.
"What are they doing?"
Wynn felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously wanted to reverse the car, but when he looked at the side mirror, his expression changed again.
This was because a mysterious black car had also appeared behind him, blocking his path of retreat.
At this time, two people finally got out of the black car in front of him. Both of them were wearing black hoods and were carrying guns. As soon as they got out of the car, they rushed directly to Wynn's car. "Get out of the car, Mr. Wynn!"
"What do you want?"
Wynn's expression changed. At this time, how could he not understand that he had actually been kidnapped!
"We won't hurt you."
One of the masked men said, "We just want to take you to a place to talk about a business. It's too noisy here, it'll be quieter there."
"Do you want money?"
Wynn's expression became even uglier. He could not help but persuade, "How much do you want? If the amount is not large, I can give it to you directly. However, if the amount is too large, I can't make the decision at all and it'll easily attract the police..."
"We don't want money, you'd better listen to our orders."
Seeing Wynn's incessant chatter, the masked man finally became impatient. He pulled Wynn out of the car and quickly used the metal detector to search all of Wynn's metal items. After that, he grabbed Wynn and walked toward the black car.
The other masked man automatically drove Wynn's car and followed the two black cars toward the suburbs of Zurich.
At this time, Wynn's heart was extremely perturbed. After he got into the car, he was sandwiched between the two men. Seeing that the car was driving in an increasingly remote direction, he suddenly spoke again, "What do you want me to do? What's the purpose of kidnapping me? May I know? "
"You'll know very soon."
The masked man sighed, turned his head and said to Wynn, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Wynn. We mean you no harm. In fact, we're not targeting you. We're targeting the company behind you..."
"You mean, Blackwatch?"
Wynn's expression changed and he quickly explained, "Although I'm the Swiss general manager of Blackwatch, the company's original name is Preston and I'm one of the shareholders. Later, because of poor management, it was acquired by Blackwatch and I just continue to help them manage the company.
"In fact. I'm not a core member of Blackwatch at all, and the branch in Zurich has no secrets. If you want to find a breakthrough from me, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed... "
"Don't worry, of course, we know this."
The masked man snorted coldly. "If you were a core member of Blackwatch, we wouldn't treat you like this."
"You have a grudge against Blackwatch?"
Wynn was bewildered. "But since you know that I'm not a core member of Blackwatch, why did you still kidnap me? I don't know any inside story! "
However, no matter how Wynn asked, the masked man did not continue to speak.
Seeing this, Wynn also knew that he could not persuade the other party with words, so he could only quiet down.
The vehicle drove for forty to fifty minutes until it drove into the forest near the Alps and the asphalt road could no longer be seen before the vehicle stopped.
"Get out of the car, Mr. Wynn."
The masked man half-coerced Wynn out of the car and then pointed to a hidden and quiet path in front. "Do you see that, Mr. Wynn? Just follow us. I hope you don't do anything stupid."
With that said, he took the lead and walked in the direction of the path.
Wynn looked around helplessly, but saw that the other masked men were looking at him coldly, so he shrugged and followed directly.
They walked for nearly an hour. As for the specific time, because his mobile phone and watch had been confiscated, Wynn could not calculate the correct time. In short, when he walked until the soles of his feet hurt and he almost could not continue, he saw a wooden hut in front of the path.
It seemed to be the residence of a forest ranger. Wynn looked around subconsciously, but saw endless trees in all directions. There were only a few pieces of air-dried jerky hanging on the drying rack in front of the house, and a large number of animal fur and leather under his feet.
Were these people in a primitive state of life?
This was the only thought in Wynn's heart.
Under the instructions of the masked man in front, Wynn walked into the hut in the forest with a blank expression. He saw two blondes sitting on one side of the small wooden hut, and in front of them was a radio transceiver. At this time, the two of them were lowering their heads and discussing something in a low voice.
Seeing Wynn coming in from the outside, the two blondes did not say anything, but their faces were cold.
"Okay, I believe that we should be able to shield ourselves from all disturbances here and let us speak freely."
The masked man also walked in from the outside. He took off the hood on his head, revealing a young and handsome male face.
"Mr. Wynn, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fisher Oppenheimer. You should have heard of my name. After all, my family and you have had some interactions before."
At this moment, Wynn was suddenly shocked. He was not unfamiliar with this name. It was the surname of a large European consortium. As if he could not believe it, he confirmed loudly, "Your father is Sir Oppenheimer?"
"Yes, that's my father."
The young man nodded. "I also have an elder brother named Federer, but he's dead."
Wynn suddenly remembered the Novartis Conference Murder Case that shocked the entire Europe six months ago. A total of more than fifty Novartis shareholders were killed in a meeting, and the killers were pointing at more than a dozen family members who were also shareholders of Novartis.
Up until now, the entire world had not figured out what had gotten into those people and why they had carried out such a shocking massacre. However, those people had completely disappeared after they had carried out the massacre and had not been found until now.
And Federer was one of the people who went missing that day.
"The whole world thinks that my brother Federer is one of the masterminds of this case, but only I know that it's not the case."
The man paced back and forth in the room as if he was reminiscing about the past. "My elder brother had a perfect family and amazing talents. Even my father was full of praises for his talents and was almost certain that he would be the head of the family. Would such a person destroy his own future and personally kill his own colleague?"
Wynn smiled bitterly when he heard this. "Maybe it's true. I've seen Federer too. He's a very outstanding young man. I don't believe that he would do such a thing, but this matter seems to have nothing to do with me."
"No, this has a deep relationship with you, Mr. Wynn."
The young man sneered. "The world thinks that this is a terrorist attack, and even thinks that it's some kind of cult sacrificial ritual, but only a few people know that the Novartis shareholders' meeting was actually to deal with a company, a person..."
Wynn's expression changed. "Could it be..."
"Yes!"
Seeing that Wynn had finally reacted, Fisher nodded. "That Novartis shareholders' meeting gathered one-third of the consortiums in the entire European region. Its purpose was to deal with the newly rising Blackwatch Corporation and that man named Chen Chen!"
"I should have thought of it."
Hearing this, Wynn smiled bitterly. "Blackwatch Corporation almost destroyed the sanatorium business in Europe. No wonder all the major European consortiums want to deal with them, but what does this have to do with last year's massacre?"
Fisher said coldly, "Sherlock Holmes once had a proverb, 'After putting aside all the impossible, the remaining result, no matter how incredible, will be the final answer'. Therefore, there's only one possibility, this massacre was manipulated by Blackwatch Corporation behind the scenes!"
Wynn fell silent when he heard this. After a long time, he said with some confidence, "But how did Blackwatch Corporation do it?"
"I'm also looking for the answer to this."
Fisher shook his head. "But at present, after our repeated actions against Blackwatch Corporation, we've discovered a frightening conjecture, that is, this company has amazing control over the Internet. As long as you use electronic products or various chat software, there's a risk of being eavesdropped by this company."
"Is this possible?"
Wynn was a little surprised and doubtful. He did not believe it at first, but now that he had been kidnapped here by this group of people in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.
"The probability is very high."
Fisher nodded. "This is not only discovered by us, but you should also know that the consortiums behind Blackwatch Corporation also occasionally leak information. They united together to create an organization called 'God's Forbidden Zone'. This organization is essentially a consortium mutual aid association, but Blackwatch Corporation always has access to countless trade secrets, allowing the consortiums in God's Forbidden Zone to spend money to buy these trade secrets.
"From this, it can also be seen that Blackwatch Corporation has some extremely amazing information channel, which is very close to our speculation!"
"God's Forbidden Zone, huh?"
Wynn murmured in a low voice. He had actually heard of this organization, but he had always thought that it was just an Internet rumor like the Freemasonry. He did not expect it to actually exist.
"So, if we want to avoid the eyes of Blackwatch Corporation, the only way is to come to a paradise without surveillance and electronic equipment."
Fisher spread his hands. "Mr. Wynn, I'm not only avenging my brother, I'm also uniting a group of environmentalists, all for the sake of the earth and the environment."
"Yes, for the sake of nature."
The blonde woman who had been silent on the side also spoke up. She seemed to be a member of the Environmental Protection Association. "We and Fisher oppose this company for different reasons. Our organization found that this company is destroying the earth. They're developing longevity projects and drugs to treat terminal diseases, which will increase the population of the earth and eventually lead to a population explosion. The mother planet that we rely on for survival will be destroyed in the hands of humans..."
"Not only that, but the other party's Project Xingtian is even more shocking!"
Another blonde woman said indignantly, "Can you believe it? Over the past month, millions of disabled people have purchased the bionic prosthetics of Project Xingtian and transformed themselves into androids! This group of bastards is destroying the purity of human beings and the divinity of human beings. This is a kind of depravity and blasphemy. They will definitely go to hell after death! "
"..."
Wynn opened his mouth but did not know what to say.
With that said, the two concluded, "We dare to swear that the next step of this evil company will be to specialize in the field of artificial intelligence. It's very likely that Skynet will be born in their hands. In any case, we must stop this evil company at all costs!"
