When Fang Zhao found Zhao Chao, Zhao Chao was standing in front of a building talking to someone. He didn't look too good.
The building was surrounded by island guards.
Fang Zhao walked over after Zhao Chao ended the call.
"Did he go inside?" Fang Zhao asked.
Zhao Chao raised his hand and rubbed his forehead in distress. "In the comprehensive laboratory building, 70% of the building doesn't allow animals outside of the laboratory to enter. Some of the guards have already gone in, and they have also contacted the staff in the building to cooperate. Right now, this building is only for entry and not exit. "
The laboratory building was the last place that inspection dogs wanted to go. Even if they were allowed to go in, their status would be affected. The atmosphere and atmosphere in the building made the inspection dogs nervous.
Fang Zhao got Curly Hair to stay outside and let a member of the inspection team hold Curly Hair while he entered with Zhao Chao.
This laboratory building was divided into three units. The target had entered from Unit 1. After the building was sealed, they would focus on searching Unit 1.
The staff in the building received the order to stay in their respective offices or laboratories. They minimized going out and were also on guard against strangers.
When Fang Zhao and the others entered the building, they were greeted by a man in white work attire. The badge on his chest indicated that he had a high status in the building. There was no trace of nervousness or unease on his face. Instead, there was an undisguised disgust. This disgust was not directed at Fang Zhao and the others, but at the intruders.
"You need to increase your efficiency! They hadn't even caught him yet! Can you imagine the disgusting feeling of suddenly discovering foreign bacteria in this sterile room?! "
Chao Zhao paused and didn't reply. Instead, he introduced Fang Zhao and the others who had entered with him. "This is the current person-in-charge of Unit One of the comprehensive laboratory building, a biochemical virus expert, Dr. Tim Nicklas."
Here, the building manager of the laboratory building was completely different from the building manager of the student dormitory. His status was equivalent to the CEO of a company, and many of the laboratory projects in the building were also presided over by this building manager. If the Inspection Team, Island District Guards, and related investigators wanted to search the building, they would need his authorization. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to enter and exit the building.
Of course, the building manager was quite cooperative in the current situation. He handed over all the videos captured by the surveillance cameras in the building. However, he was not satisfied with the efficiency of the search.
"You can just call me Dr. Nick."
Nick, the building manager, was only in his fifties this year. He was quite young in the field of scientific research. To be able to achieve his current status at this age, there was no doubt about his scientific research ability.
However, what Zhao Chao didn't mention was that this building manager, Nick, had amazing research capabilities. With his capabilities and research results, ten years ago, he was already in charge of many important projects and became the building manager of the island's experimental building. As for why he had only just become a building manager …
He had offended too many people!
Professor Nick didn't know what Zhao Chao was thinking. He had already introduced the building's division to the guards, and now he was giving Zhao Chao and the others a simple explanation.
"… During the conference, there are at least three highly dangerous viruses stored here. But don't worry, please trust the building's security system. Moreover, the viruses that could be brought in have been neutralized …"
Dr. Nick was very excited when he talked about the project he was working on.
Biochemistry and viruses had always been popular fields. This was not only because of the Period of Destruction disaster, but also because of the immigration plan, which required the development of vaccines, antidotes, and so on, to improve defense capabilities. It was also because of this that this research field was able to get more funding, cultivate more talents, and produce more results.
All biological substances that could be used as weapons were forbidden to be used. However, humans had never stopped researching them.
Because of the disaster during the Period of Destruction, people would be afraid when talking about these things, but they had to overcome it.
Dr. Nick rambled on and on. Seeing that he was getting more and more excited as he spoke, it seemed like he wouldn't stop talking. Zhao Chao called out to stop him. They didn't have the time to listen to Nick ramble on. They just needed to know the general situation in the building.
The island district guards who had entered the building to search had yet to find the target. The surveillance cameras had only captured the moment the target entered the building and then disappeared.
The laboratory building wasn't equipped with surveillance cameras everywhere. Some places weren't equipped with any surveillance equipment due to their secrecy. And the target was clearly someone who was good at avoiding surveillance cameras.
It was indeed troublesome.
Zhao Chao frowned. "Looks like the help the surveillance cameras can provide is limited."
Dr. Nick spread out his hands. "I've already helped as much as I can. I'm very anxious now. Please understand the mysophobia of a virus researcher."
Zhao Chao swept a glance at him. Just by looking at Nick's expression, apart from obvious disgust, he couldn't see any signs of anxiety.
However, Zhao Chao was also worried about the current situation. He had contacted the Island Guard captain who had led the team over, but they hadn't found any clues either.
The target was definitely inside the building. As for where he was hiding, they really wouldn't be able to find it in a short period of time. The building was so big. How long would it take to search? Every minute that passed meant more uncertainty and danger.
"How about we let the dogs in to search?" When machines weren't reliable, Zhao Chao thought of dogs.
Unit manager Nick didn't reply immediately. After thinking for a while, he said, "There are a few floors in the building that require specific clothes and all sorts of sterilization procedures. It doesn't matter for humans, but it's hard to say for dogs. There aren't any special clothes for dogs here. If you can't find a more efficient method, you can also bring the dogs in, but you bear the risk. Also, many places in the building have self-cleaning procedures. Even the most outstanding sniffer dogs might not be able to pick up the scent. "
Fang Zhao had been listening to the conversation between Unit Manager Nick and Zhao Chao, his gaze fixed on the surveillance screen. When he heard this, he said to Zhao Chao, "Curly Hair is just outside. The nearby inspection team members should have arrived. We can first bring them to search the floors that don't require complicated procedures. At the same time, if the surveillance cameras in the building have recordings, I can give it a try. My hearing isn't bad."
A member of the Island Guard team shook his head. "We have already analyzed the recordings. There is too much noise in the building. It won't be easy to analyze the target's movements."
The noise from all sorts of equipment in the building was too loud. Even after layers of filtering, they couldn't determine which were the target's movements and which were just noise.
"I can give it a try," Fang Zhao said.
Zhao Chao thought about it for a moment and agreed.
He got the team members to bring in the inspection dogs waiting outside and search the floors that didn't require complicated procedures. Fang Zhao would start tracking the target based on the sounds from the surveillance cameras in the building.
This wasn't the first time Fang Zhao had done something like this. Back on planet Wai, Fang Zhao had used this method to track down killers.
There was indeed a lot of noise in the building. Fang Zhao picked up the audio signals one by one and dissected them in his mind, analyzing them and extracting the information he needed. Putting himself in Fang Zhao's shoes, if he were to infiltrate this place, where would he go and where would he avoid?
With his extraordinary hearing ability and rich experience in tracking, avoiding danger, and escaping, the path he was taking now was practically the same as the infiltrator's!
Furthermore, Fang Zhao's tracking speed wasn't any slower than the infiltrator's!
The people Zhao Chao had sent to follow and a few members of the Island Guard team couldn't keep up after a while.
Inside the building's main control room.
Zhao Chao and the Island Guard captain's jaws dropped as they stared at the image on the monitor screen. On the screen were real-time images captured by the surveillance cameras, as well as Fang Zhao's location and movement path.
The Island Guard captain finally managed to close his jaw with great difficulty and pointed at the monitor screen. "Those ears of his … no wonder so many people have their eyes on him!"
This was also the first time Zhao Chao was deeply aware of how miraculous Fang Zhao's ears were. "No wonder! No wonder a music artist like him would be recommended here! "
"Is his hearing very good?" Dr. Nick asked.
"You don't know him? I thought you researchers were all interested in his ears, "Zhao Chao said.
Nick shook his head. He was in the field of biochemistry and virus research, and he rarely paid attention to news outside of research, so he really didn't know much about Fang Zhao.
Zhao Chao used two sentences to summarize the contributions of Fang Zhao's miraculous ears.
"Nowadays, he is also jokingly called 'Diting' by others. Now it seems like it really isn't an exaggeration! He really can hear sounds that others can't! These ears are even more useful than machines!! "Zhao Chao was completely used to his profession and first considered the practicalities of his work.
However, Unit Manager Nick's focus was completely different from Zhao Chao's. After hearing Zhao Chao's evaluation of Fang Zhao, his expression turned rather ugly.
"So, as long as it isn't completely soundproof, within a close distance, he can actually hear other people's conversations?" Nick asked with a straight face.
"Theoretically speaking, that's correct."
"That also means that he can hear quite a number of laboratory secrets?" Unit Manager Nick asked again.
Zhao Chao stuttered. After regaining his senses, he also understood what Unit Manager Nick meant.
Indeed, the locations where the surveillance cameras were installed did not require too much secrecy, and the audio recordings provided to Fang Zhao also did not contain too much important information, but! The few areas that Fang Zhao's movements had passed through were all unmonitored areas! They all involved important research secrets!
As for Fang Zhao, in terms of status, he was only here as a reserve member and was considered a temporary worker. There were some information that he could not access.
No wonder Unit Manager Nick's expression instantly turned gloomy.
"He signed a confidentiality agreement," Zhao Chao could only say. After all, Fang Zhao was his own teammate. Fang Zhao had done this to capture the target as quickly as possible. Zhao Chao had to protect him.
"Those don't count. What I need is a high-level confidentiality agreement that is accurate to the project, accurate to the culture medium formula!"
Unit Manager Nick's gaze was glued to the surveillance screen showing Fang Zhao's movements.
He coldly said, "One confidentiality agreement."
And following Fang Zhao's rapid movements —
"Two confidentiality agreements."
In a short while.
"Three."
"Four!"
…
Unit Manager Nick's face became more and more rigid. Watching Fang Zhao's movements on the surveillance screen, he thought to himself, Did that fellow actually hear my research secrets? How much did he hear?
Regardless of whether he heard it or not, I still have to sign those confidentiality agreements!!
