Chapter 270: The First Turning Point (01)
Carol's hand is really beautiful, for a while they have no combat effectiveness, although there is no large-scale infection, but the panic caused is even more outrageous, so that they turned all their attention to the virus infection, most of the military doctors were implicated in this matter and were isolated, all of them were worried that they were infected, this mood is understandable, after all, there is no drug that can effectively kill the virus, which is the source of panic.
After being quarantined, they really couldn't do anything, and in the end, they had no choice but to obtain the recently updated data through alpha for preliminary analysis, not that they were willing to work, but in the current situation, they couldn't do anything and were more troublesome, so they wanted to find something to do to pass the time.
The situation over there in 03 is also constantly coming, in addition to 03, Lin Xiao and Mu Xinxin, who are working over there, have not been spared, but as indirect contacts, they are two of the first batch to be released from isolation, although they have not been able to return to normal work during the quarantine period, they have begun to analyze and sort out the information collected by the channel, but even if they return to work in time, on the whole, they are right. Bell Tower's investigation has been slowed down to a great extent, and even stalled for a while, and at present, there are less than 13 people who can enter the working state, and most of the heavyweights, including the military doctor and 03, have been quarantined, and of course, the new leader is no exception.
Two days later, they felt that they were about to get through the end, and when they should be released, they got new news from Lin Xiao, and one of the first infected people died, and in addition, a new infected person was added, and the first batch of captured people are currently in a rather unoptimistic state, although nearly 40 experts have been studying the virus day and night, and have introduced a series of countermeasures, but it has not had any substantive effect.
The virus has been named "K Virus" because the virus was originally intended to be named after Carol, but it was quickly rejected by the above, using only the initials of Carol's name.
"Named after Carol, it's up to those guys to come up with it." The ghost thought the experts were interesting.
"After all, this matter has a lot to do with him, if it weren't for him, it would probably not be so much." Worm said, "We underestimated Carol and the 'clock tower' behind him again, they really dare to do anything, kidnapping and blackmailing are just that, killing people dare to broadcast live around the world, it seems that few organizations can come out, and after doing this, they also release the virus to make trouble, he is a madman, and the organization behind him is not afraid of too much influence?" ”
"Their purpose is to create panic, but the impact of the virus incident is far less far-reaching than the previous hostage incident, this time the military doctors are really smart, and the strict sealing of the news has not caused a worse impact, and it has avoided social unrest, you know that the pressure on the people caused by this kind of thing will be far greater than the impact caused by the kidnapping or beheading of a few people." Heavy punch said.
Ghost Shadow smiled bitterly, "Even if it didn't cause any serious impact, it also brought us a huge trouble, and now the entire investigation of the 'Clock Tower' has almost come to a standstill, not to mention, the panic caused by this time has made all the staff have no intention of working, for fear of being infected, this is the biggest trouble, Carol is using invisible means to weaken our strength." ”
"We'll be able to go out one day." Worm came out of his cubicle and sat on the side and said, "It's been a sulky few days. ”
"We can't do anything after we go out, and the little things that can be collected through the channel are useless, and they don't even have much reference value." The ghost has little hope for future work.
"We still haven't found a breakthrough, so it's really not a way to go on like this." Heavy Punch also understands that their biggest problem is not that they can't work, but that they don't know where to start.
"Now this investigation is not as smooth as it was in the early days, we can still find some things when we didn't know anything before, and now we have a deeper understanding of this organization, but we have nowhere to start, and we don't have a clue at all, which is really a headache." The ghost shook his head.
"At present, I am afraid that the only one who can still work normally is Bruce's side, he is the only one who is not affected by this virus incident, and I hope that his side can make a breakthrough." Heavy punch said.
"You should remind him to be careful of being calculated by the Clock Tower." "The Clock Tower is so capable that they know us so well that they don't even let go of Bruce and Ghost, which means they know the basic structure of our side, which means they know much more about us than we know about them. ”
"This is not new, if the CIA really has their undercover agents, then basically they can understand us through this channel, and we don't have his innate advantage." The ghost said, "An organization like ours is registered in the ~ CIA, especially after the Steppenwolf incident, they once regarded us as a thorn in their side, how could they not investigate us?" Of course, the 'Clock Tower' can learn about us through the information they investigated. ”
A day later, they were finally able to get out, and before leaving, the person in charge here also brought them a lot of medicines and disinfection supplies, saying that these things can inhibit the breeding of the K virus to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of being infected.
"Although the virus turmoil was brought under control in time, the internal panic caused by it was far beyond imagination, and we are fine now, but it does not mean that other people can work normally." Heavy punch shook his head.
After coming out, they immediately contacted Lin Xiao to inquire about the situation, as an indirect contact, he was one of the first quarantined people to be released, 03 After being isolated, almost all the pressure was on him, not only to coordinate the cooperation between the two sides, but also to continue to track down the clues related to the 'clock tower', so he was busy for a while, but the progress of the investigation on their side was also quite unsmooth, whether it was the tracking of Carol or the ' At present, they have shifted their focus to the tracking of the contacts of the assets of the 'Clock Tower', hoping to get some breakthroughs from it, but the investigation methods are only external channels, and the military doctors have not fully recovered to their previous work status due to the impact of the virus incident, and most of them are in isolation, and the operation capacity of the entire investigation agency is only equivalent to the original 40, which has been greatly reduced.
"Anyway? We've got some clues. Lin Xiao said with a haggard face, these days, he is really busy enough.
"Got a clue? Did you find something? When the ghost heard him say this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart.
"I mean, we've figured out some clues from the virus incident, at least we're no longer affected by the incident, and when 03 comes out, we can basically return to the previous working state, as for them, we can't manage it, and we don't want to take care of it, and the investigation has to rely on ourselves, those guys can't count on it, and they don't dare to believe it too much." Lin Xiao said.
"There are no clues, we don't know where to start, the 'Clock Tower' has begun to clean up their exposed industries, which has invisibly created more trouble for us, we can't find anything through these things at all, and your horizontal investigation is likely to find nothing." Heavy punches are not optimistic about Lin Xiao's direction of investigation.
"It's as much as we can find, anyway, we don't have any other direction now, but although the military doctor's side is not in good shape, through the list of trainees you brought back before, the identities of some people have been verified and a comprehensive investigation of these people has begun, and the families of some people have been found, hoping to make some progress from these families, at least through this line to check, if you can catch these people, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest?"
"This is too roundabout, it's all marginal information, it has been confirmed that these people are just a group of thugs even if they are for the 'Clock Tower' Xiaoli, for the things at the top, the little things they know are simply negligible, unless it is a person like Carol who leads the team to fight, maybe he can still know some things, and there is no need to report too much hope for others." The ghost said.
"In the general direction, we have no progress, we can only start with these small details, otherwise we really have nothing to do." Lin Xiao spread his hands a little helplessly, "We have never encountered an organization that is so good at protecting itself, which can not only invest in the world, but also hide behind these industries from being discovered, this is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do, maybe it is directly related to most of their high-level high-level spies, but what do these people want to do?" We still can't figure it out, so far, what they have done can indeed be compared with terrorists, not only make the United States restless, pose a threat to some of our country's overseas investment, many of our industries have been attacked by unknown militants, heavy losses, it seems that their retaliation is all-round, not only to us, but also to our state-owned overseas investment, their behavior does make us a little unfocused, but, from our internal channels to understand the situation, In fact, they have already infiltrated our industry, especially the investment in some war-torn countries, under their covert manipulation, our overseas investment has suffered huge losses, they have influenced the bidding results by manipulating the authorities, using armed forces to harass other investment companies, forcing them to withdraw from the bidding project, this kind of thing is not once or twice, but has been there for a long time, but has been ignored, as some disgraceful means in the competition, there is no deep consideration. ”
"That's why the above will support us to take down this organization, right? But it only clarifies our tasks, how to solve them? It's up to us. Worm said.
Lin Xiao nodded, "This is the meaning of our existence, excluding potential dangers, the 'Clock Tower' is no longer a potential danger, but a direct threat." ”
Carol hasn't shown up since that incident, and various intelligence channels have not been able to find information related to him, Bane has completely disappeared, and disappeared directly after the last appearance in the Caucasus, and there is no information related to Sandro, in short, all clues are almost completely interrupted, and they can't continue to track down, and there is no breakthrough in all aspects of the investigation, so to speak, hitting a wall everywhere, the ghost can't help but sigh that it is still the case with the world's largest intelligence agency, if they rely on their own investigation, I really don't know when the results will come, and after a few days, 03 and HK have been ruled out of infection, and the quarantine period has arrived, and they can finally go back to work, however, the whole investigation has not taken a turn for the better because of their return.
"It's only been a dozen days, and the investigation of this kind of organization can't be so quick to get results, don't be discouraged, there will always be something to find." 03 Encourage them to say.
"I don't know where to start." The ghost said helplessly, "Your quarantine is over, is there a new infected person over there?" Did they block the message? In the meantime, we haven't even heard from you. ”
"There is indeed a problem, there are two deaths of the initial infection, both of them are the subordinates of the military doctor, and on the other side, Natasha's people may not survive today, one of the doctors who treated these people in the early stage was infected, and the situation is better than expected, but so far, the fatality rate of the virus is 100, we just have no way to deal with it." 03 said.
"It's really troublesome, we have to investigate, and we have to pay attention to the infection situation, so many people have been quarantined, and they haven't been released yet, even if they add new people to come in, but most of the people who are familiar with the situation have been quarantined, and it will take time for these new arrivals to get familiar with this job." Heavy Punch sighed.
"This is not something we can control, nor can we solve it, all the experts of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention have begun to develop vaccines and effective drugs, but at present, they have little effect, and can only barely produce some inhibitory drugs to slow down the spread of the virus and prolong the lives of those infected to the greatest extent, as for the treatment, there is no effective plan." 03 continued, "Not only did the hired people suffer heavy casualties, but they also got involved in this, and it looks like I'm going to have to pay them a lot of money. ”
"Where the hell did you get so many people?" The ghost never quite understood.
"Fortunately, this time it was hired by outsiders to work, otherwise you would have been infected and locked up in the hospital, and it is likely to be you." 03 didn't answer his question.
"It's really our luck." Heavy punch smiled bitterly.
It is not easy to find a new breakthrough direction, which is their biggest problem at present, but everyone knows that the work must continue, and if the problem is really so easy to solve, there is no need to fall on them.
A few days later, they received a new news, the military doctor finally found something, they found a group of people through the analysis of the information of the trainees, and confirmed the identity of several of them, and then found their families, and learned that these people will go home to visit relatives from time to time.
For this reason, the military doctor sent people to monitor the families of these people, hoping to catch one or two alive by this means.
"How long will it take to wait for the rabbit?" The ghost doesn't think it's a good idea.
"At least I'm sure the rabbit will hit the wall, but I don't know when." Heavy punch said.
"I go home to visit relatives from time to time, that is, it is possible for a year and a half." "This is at most an auxiliary investigative method, hoping to find a breakthrough from here?" It's better to focus on other places. ”
They didn't take this to heart, after all, no one knew when the results would come, and instead of waiting for news from there, it was better to check it out in their own way, although there was no hope, but they had to try hard.
A few days later, there was news from Bruce's side, Sandro reappeared, this time this guy appeared in North Africa again, and from the information obtained, it seemed that he was escorting a batch of supplies.
"There's the 'Clock Tower' property there, and it seems that he's organizing an evacuation, and we haven't learned the specifics yet, so it may take a little time." Bruce said on the call.
"He doesn't seem to have a lot of people around him." The ghost said as he looked at the picture sent back by Bruce.
"There are eight people in total, and we are conducting all-round surveillance." Bruce said.
"He's the kind of person who is very alert, so be careful of being discovered." Heavy punch reminded him.
Bruce nodded, "We'll pay attention, it's a pity that we don't have many people on our side, otherwise we can arrest people directly." ”
"Even if we rush over now, it's too late, I'm afraid it will take six or seven hours to get over there at the earliest, contact the military doctor, he must have enough manpower over there." "Do everything you can to control him, this is the most valuable clue we've gotten in recent times." ”
"I have contacted him, but he has not given a clear answer, but has agreed to coordinate." "He's an outsider after all, so I don't expect that I'll figure out how to fix the problem over there as soon as possible, but until then, we're keeping a close eye on it." ”
"This guy won't show up easily, don't lose it." The ghost said.
"Understood." Bruce nodded.
After the call, Worm said, "It's finally a bit of an eyebrow." ”
"Let's catch him first." Heavy Punch really doesn't dare to have any illusions right now.
"Sandro, this kind of person won't show up easily, unless there's an important task assigned to him, and it's obvious that something is urgent there, or it's important to the 'Clock Tower.'" ”
Heavy Punch nodded in agreement, "Wait, Bruce is very shrewd, if even he can't keep an eye on Sandro, it can only mean that this person is too difficult to deal with." ”
But before Bruce could get results, 03 contacted them again.
"There's good news." 03 said with a tired face, "We confirmed the whereabouts of the hamster and Wade......
