As the convoy headed west along Route 225, the road out of the port began to become a little difficult to navigate, with the entrance and exit of the overpass jammed with traffic, and the road littered with rubble and wreckage.

"It seems that the situation in Houston is not much better than in China," Pang Zhike, the head of the Chinese delegation, sat in the car and whispered to Zhang Wenzhuo, the deputy head of the delegation next to him, "I just don't know what it's like inside the base." ”

"You have to take a good look at the research institute when you get there," Zhang Wenzhuo nodded. He and Pang Zhike served as the head and deputy head of the delegation respectively, but he was not a scientific researcher.

Zhang Wenzhuo's identity is the director of the National Security Agency, and after the disaster, he took over the work of the director of the intelligence department of the United States, who was killed, and was in charge of related affairs in this area. The state asked him to take up the post of deputy head of the delegation this time, and the purpose was very obvious, that is, it planned to send him over for an on-the-spot inspection, and in addition, it was also to let him handle foreign counter-espionage work here.

The duo of Pang Zhike and Zhang Wenzhuo can be called a literary and martial arts, although the two have not crossed paths before, but they have become familiar with each other on the way to Houston.

The situation in Houston City is not too good, the only advantage of being a base for the institute is the peculiarity of its port city, the favorable terrain with Mexico in the background and the buffalo river on the flank, so the only direction that the institute needs to focus on defending is to the west.

Because of its proximity to the Mississippi River Basin, it is also very convenient for the U.S. government to transport supplies to Houston from other bases throughout the basin, which is one of the reasons why personnel from the Tampa Institute and the New Orleans Research Institute were transferred to the Houston Research Institute after the destruction of the two bases.

Pang Zhike carefully observed the route of the convoy, but Zhang Wenzhuo's mind was not here. He comes from the intelligence department, and he has learned a lot of high-level information from the work he has taken over in the past six months. Before he came, he knew that there were spies working for Hua Guo at the Houston Institute, and he knew who this person was.

"Do you want to touch him?" Zhang Wenzhuo thought in his heart, the task given to him above was to establish contact with this spy, and with the help of the network experts in the delegation, he would dig deep into some of the information that the United States did not plan to disclose in this academic exchange conference.

After Zhang Wenzhuo thought about it for a while, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he already had his own idea in his heart.

"Were we the first to Houston?" Pang Zhike looked out the window for a moment before looking back, and asked Jason, who was sitting in the passenger seat, about the other delegations in English.

"No, the Jeploy delegation was a little earlier than you," Jason laughed as he said this, "and they brought with them a lot of vodka and sausages, and hundreds of kilograms of potatoes. ”

"Really? Haha," Pang Zhike laughed as well.

"The Britton Grant and Vikingman delegations are said to be still in the North Atlantic, and they should first arrive in Newfoundland and take a short break in St. John's before continuing their departure, which is expected to be in Houston in a few days."

"There are also delegations from countries such as Xindu, Sweden and Australia on the way," Jason added.

"Why didn't I see the Jeplos ship in the Port of Houston before?" Mr. Zhang asked.

"The people they stayed on the ship couldn't stay, they were walking around the Gulf of Mexico for the past two days, and according to the information sent back by the radar satellite, their warship should have reached the Shandlull Strait today," Jason spread his hands, showing a slightly helpless look, "The fleet of the Gipsy has almost never been close to our offshore range in the previous decades, and this time they came over, maybe there is some 'private work' to do." ”

Zhang Wenzhuo smiled, and heard the meaning of Jason's words. In fact, whether it is exchanges between countries or cooperation, everyone has multiple goals, and there is no right or wrong, only interests.

After the convoy bypassed the Simus River, a branch of the Buffalo River, the gates of the institute appeared in front of everyone. The Houston Institute, formerly a well-known North American pharmaceutical conglomerate, was transformed into a research institute after the disaster, and as the area of internal personnel expanded, the military placed an iron fence on the outside of the original wall.

The guards guarding the gate immediately opened the gate when they saw the returning convoy, and the convoy slowly entered and drove through the road in the middle of a grassy field. On the other side of the meadow, several modern buildings stand out, almost entirely outside the first floor of these buildings, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that occasionally reveal moving figures.

"The environment is good," because of the comparison of what he saw on the way over, Pang Zhike now looked at the buildings and greenery outside, and unconsciously sighed.

"How does it compare to Changping?" Zhang Wenzhuo asked.

"That's a little worse than Changping," Pang Zhike came back to his senses and understood what Zhang Wenzhuo meant.

"After all, it's Jinyu Fengshan Hot Spring Resort," Zhang Wenzhuo smiled.

Waiting for the car to stop in front of the building, the people in the car got down from both sides. The members of the Chinese delegation got out of the car and began to gather around Pang Zhike and Zhang Wenzhuo, and Jason arranged for his soldiers to park the vehicles, and then brought the members of the delegation into the building himself.

The entrance hall is the security area, and a security system runs across the doorway.

“VISystem？” Zhang Wenzhuo was stunned for a moment when he saw this set of instruments and equipment, and then said to Pang Zhike and the others behind him, "These security equipment are third-generation biometric identification systems, and they are very accurate. ”

"VISystem," Zhao Kang had an impression of it when he heard the name, and he also had a better understanding of how it worked.

The purpose of the VISystem security screening system is to check people's mental state, and it will analyze the portrait data coming in from the camera in real time, mainly based on the mental state expressed by the subtle physical changes in the human body to tell the security personnel that the person is likely to have a problem.

The VISystem screening system has a unique algorithm that uses video processing to calculate an individual's stress, aggression and anxiety, and a camera and computer to calculate the frequency and amplitude of the action to determine the person's potential criminal intent.

"It's just routine," Jason gestured in the direction of the security gate.

Pang Zhike nodded and said to the members of the delegation behind him, "Follow the local customs." ”

As everyone passed through the security gates in front of them in an orderly manner, behind those doors, several computers were rapidly analyzing the frequency of changes in the emotions and body movements of these people. Several of the members of the delegation, who did not know whether it was because of their nervousness or whatever, were marked with attention marks on their computer screens as they passed through the security gates.

No one in the hall came out to stop them, and the security personnel all looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.

"Nothing is wrong, is it?" After his people had passed through the security gate, Pang Zhike asked Jason.

"No problem, Your Excellency." Jason nodded, and then led the members of the delegation to the side. Some of the boxes and computer equipment that you bring are put into the X-ray machine for inspection, and some are manually checked.

This process has taken a lot of time, and the people in the delegation have already faintly felt a little hungry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me to your lounge area and settle in, and after you are settled, you can go to the dining room to eat," Jason had been keeping an eye on the time, and it was nearly evening when the Chinese delegation arrived in Houston, and he knew that everyone must be hungry by now, so he sped up the process.

"By the way, in order to welcome your arrival, the base has also specially prepared Chinese food for your delegation." Jason's words won a lot of favor from the members of the delegation, and after Pang Zhike thanked him, he took the members to the rest area to settle down.

As soon as the figure of the delegation disappeared into the security hall, several staff members who had previously been in charge of security immediately gathered together.

"These people may have a problem, and we need to feed their information back to Charles immediately," said one of the staff members, "and this is the task he gave us before." ”

"Is there anything suspicious about what they're carrying?" The staff member asked again.

The others shook their heads, and he was relieved, "Inform the Cyber Warfare Department that the network opened to the Chinese delegation can start monitoring." ”

Immediately after several assignments were made, the staff members left their security posts to take on new tasks. The staff member who had assigned the task earlier picked up the communicator, dialed a number on it, and then began to talk to the person on the other end.

"I see," Charles said as he hung up the communicator and turned to the SRT Special Response Team in the office, "the 'Horned Owl' is here." ”

"Would you like to meet him right away?" Maggie asked.

"No, wait for him to come to us," Charles thought for a moment, "and the 'Horned Owl' will bring us something of value, if he has not defected in China for so many years. ”

"I'm going to see his attitude and ability," Charles continued, "this man has been lurking in China for decades, and he hasn't done much for so long, and the FBI has even been planning to give up on him." But I recently got the news that he finally has the goods in his hands, and it is said to be something very important to us. ”

"Decades of lurking?" The other four people in the room were all surprised.

"That's still a chess piece that President Sr. Booth planted in China during his tenure, although he hasn't moved much, but the country has spent a lot of money to help him operate, I hope he didn't disappoint us this time." Charles took the gold-rimmed glasses off, took the cloth from his pocket, wiped them, and put them back on top of his nose.

"Try not to go out during this time, I plan to use you as a surprise soldier in case of emergency," Charles instructed the SRT team members, "The security center will send you the information of several members of the Chinese delegation who are in abnormal conditions during the security check, and then you can analyze it carefully, and those guys who are judged to have problems should pay close attention." ”

"Understood." The four of them nodded in unison.

"Maggie, there's one more mission you need to complete alone."
