Chapter 57: Surveillance
Before the shouting was over, Chen Xin caught a glimpse of a group of soldiers dressed in military tweed clothes walking in from the door of the laboratory, led by a tall and stout man in his forties, with a black face, a nose like an eagle's hook, and a shining military badge on his shoulder, obviously not a low rank.
Seeing that the gate was blocked by a few soldiers with guns, the officer led by him walked towards Su Wan without a trace of hesitation, as if he didn't see Zhang Baixin take out a pistol and face him at all.
"Contemptible Hu Ningkun, Xi is the deputy commander of the Jiangxin Island base", the officer headed by Hu Ningkun stood straight in the face of Su Wan, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Xie Guoping who was standing on the side.
It seems that he is also an awakened person, and at least the person who can sense the most threatening person on the scene is Xie Guoping, and the degree of awakening is definitely not low.
Chen Xin heard Hu Ningkun's name on the side, and his heart tightened, knowing that Bacheng was the elder brother of Hu Ningsheng that Xu Licheng said, his body moved slightly, half hidden behind Xie Guoping, and also avoided Hu Ningsheng's sight, and the sample box containing the 11th-order eyeball nascent tissue in his hand was even more "swish" and slipped into the pocket of Chen Xin's pants.
"It turned out to be Colonel Hu", Su Wan smiled slightly, it seemed that she knew a little about the person in front of her, "Your brother has found it?" ”
Hu Ningkun's eyes narrowed, his eyes moved from Xie Guoping's direction to Su Wan, and his body began to exude a dangerous aura.
"Click", Zhang Baixin opened the safety of the pistol, turned his head slightly sideways, his eyes were already aimed at the crosshairs, and he was obviously ready to fire the gun in his hand at any time.
"Regarding my brother's matter, it's best to have nothing to do with everyone who is doing it", Hu Ningkun still didn't see the muzzle of the black hole, his dark face looked around, and his gaze stayed for a moment when he swept over Xu Licheng's face, and he said a sentence fiercely.
"Naturally, there will be no one, everyone here has an alibi, when your brother disappeared, we were all underground", Su Wan seemed to have learned about Hu Ningsheng's troubles at the port, and said indifferently.
"Hmph", Hu Ningkun squinted at Xu Licheng, "There is an emergency numbered 03 at the base today, so everyone must be inquired." ”
"Including me?" , Su Wan asked, although there was still no tone.
The masseter muscles on the side of Hu Ningkun's face tightened significantly, and he gritted his teeth and said vaguely, "If I find any evidence, even you!" I'm also going to ask the board for permission to be investigated tonight. ”
Hu Ningkun seems to know Su Wan's level very well, the supervisor of level 7 is not the object of his authority to investigate, but the meaning he expressed just now is very clear, even if he wants to offend Su Wan, Hu Ningkun will not give in by half a point.
Su Wan listened to Hu Ningkun's words, Danfeng's eyes raised two frowning eyebrows, in the Titan Company, whether it was because of her background or level, or even because of her appearance, no one would treat her so unceremoniously, she could feel Hu Ningkun's hostility towards her very obviously.
"If there is nothing to do, we will continue the experiment", since Hu Ningkun did not deal with herself, Su Wan naturally issued an eviction order.
"Director Su, you are high, but I'm afraid I made a mistake, I'm not here to inform you that there is a 03 emergency here, but I hope that everyone here will assist in the investigation!" , Hu Ningkun sneered, looked around and sneered, "Except for you, everyone is at a lower level than me." Especially this Head Xie, I have great reason to suspect that this emergency incident was caused by him! ”
Su Wan's face was like a layer of frost at the moment, if it was on Titan Island, she would definitely let Hu Ningkun know what regret was, although Su Wan didn't care about the things around her that had nothing to do with her research, it didn't mean that she could tolerate the sarcasm of her, especially the attack on her "high" life experience, she didn't like people to mention her life experience.
Although Su Wan's usual style is not like a woman, even if he doesn't look like a woman anymore, in fact, he is still a woman, so when Hu Ningkun really offended Su Wan, he didn't realize how much trouble he would get into.
"What is a 03 emergency?" , Anyway, there was a tall person on top, Chen Xin didn't feel nervous at all, but asked in a low voice.
It's just that no one answered him, and everyone stared at Hu Ningkun and Su Wan.
"You don't want to take it alone!" , Su Wan's cold voice resounded throughout the laboratory.
Hu Ningkun looked at Su Wan in astonishment, and said with a smile, "Director Su, I heard you right, right?" Now that the base has entered an emergency, as the military director, I have the right to take over all the people in the base who are lower than me, and I don't need your consent to take them away. ”
"In accordance with Article 9, Section 11 of the Emergency Regulations, exceptions and objects include supervisors of higher authority and personal guards who are carrying out their tasks!" , Su Wan's voice was still cold, but the speed of speaking slowed down.
"Personal guards only!" The smile on Hu Ningkun's face faded, as the head of security, he can be said to be very familiar with the emergency regulations of the Titan Company, and he can recite every article and every one of them. But because he is very familiar with it, even if Hu Ningkun doesn't look down on these children of the family, because he knows that the content of Article 9, paragraph 11 is indeed as Su Wan said, he didn't plan to take Su Wan and Zhang Baixin away for investigation at all, because he didn't have this authority in the regulations, but he didn't expect Su Wan to use this article to expand the scope at will and squeeze him.
Hu Ningkun stared at Su Wan viciously, and his expression seemed to freeze there, but Su Wan didn't flinch at all, and also confronted each other with slender Danfeng eyes.
"Good!" , Hu Ningkun has no time to spend in the laboratory, such a bad incident has happened on Jiangxin Island, and he has an unshirkable responsibility as the deputy commander in charge of intelligence security, so he must go to various places on the island as soon as possible to deploy investigation and defense, "Platoon leader!" ”
"Here!" , A tall and thin soldier in the military uniform heard Hu Ningkun's shout, and immediately stood up and yelled.
"Next, your platoon will be responsible for 'protecting' Director Su's personal guards!" , Hu Ningkun emphasized his voice on the word "protection", obviously not really letting a platoon leader protect Xie Guoping and them, "Remember, if you see someone too far away from Su Wan, you must not be a personal guard, and you will be killed on the spot!" ”
Zhang Baixin is Su Wan's security director, no matter where he fights a lawsuit, he can't erase the fact that he is Su Wan's personal guard, but others, if they are not by Su Wan's side, whether they can be identified as Su Wan's personal guard has a lot of room for maneuver, let alone on Jiangxin Island, so Hu Ningkun made it clear in front of Su Wan, in case someone loses the "personal guard" sign and is too far away, I am afraid that it is as simple as cooperating with the investigation from time to time, and it is not impossible to kill or catch the black prison on the spot.
Hu Ningkun didn't wait for Su Wan's reaction, he directly turned around and left the laboratory without looking back, and there was a voice outside the door, "Wait for the people from the second company to come over and take over the laboratory, you must protect Director Su every step of the way!" ”
"Humph!" , Su Wan also rarely made a dissatisfied voice, Hu Ningkun acted like this, obviously made up his mind to fight against himself, and even the laboratory did not intend to let his people stay alone.
But Hu Ningkun's stinky temper is something that Su Wan has also heard, as the first batch of superpowers of the Titan Company, Hu Ningkun has been fighting at the forefront of the battle, and he is also a survivor after the "hunting" on that island, and his strength has reached the 6th rank earlier than Sergei.
It's just that Hu Ningkun's temper is really stinky and hard, and he has offended a large number of bigwigs, even if he reaches the 6th level, his authority has always been pressed at the 5th level. Others, such as Sergei, were immediately awarded the rank of major general as soon as his strength reached the 6th rank, and he really mastered a warship, but Hu Ningkun could only serve as a 5-level deputy commander at the Jiangxin Island base, only one level higher than Xia Li, and the soldiers under him did not necessarily listen to him.
However, it was precisely because Hu Ningkun offended too many people that he didn't take his cousin Hu Ningsheng with him, but only arranged it in the management committee of the port settlement closest to him, and also told all the powerful guys around him not to touch his younger brother.
It's just that he didn't expect that Hu Ningsheng was still under his nose, and he didn't know which guy who didn't have long eyes to slaughter. On the one hand, Hu Ningkun does only have such a blood relative alive, on the other hand, Hu Ningkun has already spoken, his younger brother is still slaughtered, if he doesn't make some moves, I'm afraid that his prestige on Jiangxin Island will plummet in an instant, and whether his cronies who rely on for survival will still gather under him will also be marked with a big question mark.
Therefore, even in the face of Su Wan, a level 7 supervisor who is rumored to have a big backstage, he must go up hard.
"Su Wan, ...... next?" , Xie Guoping pointed to the dozen or so base soldiers who were still holding guns around and asked.
Although Hu Ningkun was already far away, Su Wan's face was not better, and her expression seemed to be more cold than usual, but Xie Guoping was not an ordinary person, even if Su Wan was not in a good mood at the moment, she tried her best to endure it and said calmly, "Please head Xie must look at the sample box in the liquid nitrogen tank, it is a big deal!" ”
There were a lot of outsiders at the scene, and Su Wan naturally asked Xie Guoping, who was the strongest, to protect the most valuable sample for the first time.
"As for the samples of mature bodies in that corner, let's all work overtime in the laboratory tonight, so that we can draw the most basic genetic map tomorrow morning at most", in order to avoid being caught by Hu Ningkun with pigtails, except for Zhang Baixin, none of the people present could be too far away from Su Wan, and Su Wan was reluctant to stop researching, so everyone was destined to stay in the laboratory tonight.
It's just that because there are too many base warriors on the side, Su Wan didn't dare to continue to study the sample of the completed body, so she could only crack the 7th-order mature body first, and everyone tacitly didn't mention the sample of the finished body in the liquid nitrogen tank and the sample box containing the new tissue.
Chen Xin was also suspicious, if the base learned that Su Wan had a suspected tissue sample in his hand, how much time could the level 7 supervisor have to last, and even the commander of the base would have to come forward to ask for it, not to mention the other fleet commanders who were staring at Su Wan.
Although it was like being monitored by the soldiers at the base, Su Wan still got the emergency briefing numbered 03 that Hu Ningkun said, and Chen Xin finally knew what the 03 emergency was, which was a major safety incident caused more than 5 deaths by forces outside the company to the company's headquarters.
Sure enough, the briefing detailed that a whole team of intelligence teams had been dismembered on the roof of this building, and more than 2,000 pieces of meat had been sorted out at the scene, and it was basically determined that at least five active intelligence officers were missing, but the body pieces were too broken, and it was not possible to confirm whether there were other people in the pile of corpses for the time being. And more importantly, there is no trace left by the perpetrators at the scene, indicating that the strength exceeds that of the intelligence team. And in the appendix of the briefing, it also said that there was a situation that a large number of mutant creatures of unknown origin appeared in the elevator shaft of the only entrance and exit of the base, and there were more than 3 dead and injured fighters, and it was suspected that there were awakened people who could manipulate mutated creatures to invade Jiangxin Island.
The nature of this emergency is too bad, and it is in the most heavily defended core research institute building on Eshin Island, so anyone suspicious will be pulled into the interrogation room to be suspicious.
Therefore, Chen Xin didn't mention the matter of running away first, because he knew that as long as he walked out of this laboratory, he might be taken by Hu Ningkun to sacrifice the knife. The relationship between Hu Ningkun and Su Wan is not dealt with, and Chen Xin has also seen it with his own eyes.
Of course, with Su Wan's strength and Chen Xin's creativity, their stay in the laboratory means that the progress of the work of cracking the genes of the 7th-order mature body will be greatly accelerated, and the gene map of the mature body, which was originally expected to take a week, will be completed in advance until tomorrow morning without any suspense.
As long as there is a basic genetic map, most of the secrets of the remaining mature genes can be deduced from the map, and the difference is only a matter of speed and cost.
However, the information on the appearance of a large number of mutant creatures mentioned in the briefing made Chen Xin very worried, because this situation is exactly the same as the precursor of the zombie riot in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", not that the zombies gather slowly, you must know that the speed of the evolved body is far higher than that of some ordinary mutant creatures, only because the zombies around Jiangxin Island, including the evolved body, have been cleaned up abnormally, but there are still a lot of remnants of mutant creatures, so there will be the illusion of the first batch of mutant creatures rioting.
But since the mutant creatures have been abnormal, the corpses all over the sky are naturally not far from Jiangxin Island, maybe they will arrive at Jiangxin Island tomorrow, not to mention that there is only one 6th-order Hu Ningkun and a regiment of ordinary soldiers at the Jiangxin Island base, even counting Sergei's fleet, there is a high probability that it will not be able to hold it, this underground base is simply a huge underground coffin!
"It seems that if you want to live, you must withdraw the ...... tomorrow at the latest", Chen Xinyi threw away the briefing note in his hand, and said Xie Guoping without hesitation.
