In the vast snow, in the howling cold wind, a newly grown snow wolf lay motionless on the ground. The snow had covered its entire body, and only a pair of sharp eyes could not hold half a snowflake. It's waiting, waiting for the roe deer in the distance to get a little closer, and it has to wait for the best time to hunt.

It has been waiting for six hours. The stomach cramp brought on by hunger does not manifest itself on its countenance, and for a better chance, it can wait, but it can also endure.

I don't know if the roe deer will run over or farther in the next moment, but it knows that the best time must not have come yet, so it can endure.

Wolves are patient creatures and can wait up to a day and a night for a great hunting opportunity.

But he was more patient. For a great opportunity, he could have waited longer!

He is the leader of the Free Man Organization: Zhang Haoyang, Zhang Chengyuan's adoptive father, Wang Xiaoyu's husband.

Eighteen family visits came and went, and it was a year and a half.

For this opportunity, Zhang Haoyang waited for a year and a half.

People admired the wolf's endurance during hunting, but they couldn't understand the cramping pain in its stomach every minute when it was starving.

And Zhang Haoyang's own beloved wife was imprisoned as a prisoner in the dungeon of the Sailing School, and his wife was suffering every minute and every second, and he had to keep his sanity at all times, endure this torment, and wait for the best opportunity.

Because he bears the responsibility of being a husband, but also the responsibility of a free man's leadership. He couldn't gamble the lives of all members of the organization for his wife. It was against his own values and against his wife's.

It was this reason to convince himself and stay calm that made him endure until now. Now, here's the opportunity.

The lightning and thunder made the hut in the woods look even more dilapidated. Thatched huts like this are not uncommon on the outskirts of the city. If there is a slight difference between this hut and other huts, it is that there is a certain amount of space underneath this hut.

The basement is still damp, dilapidated and dirty. But the roof was replaced with a new incandescent cannon, which was brighter than the original.

Five people sat quietly around the round table.

"Well, I want to emphasize again, this operation was initiated by me in my personal name and has nothing to do with the Free Men Organization." Zhang Haoyang said word by word.

His gold-rimmed eyes were deep and tired, and his slightly hoarse voice betrayed his mental state.

"I also participated in my own name and had nothing to do with the organization." Li He had a young man's stubbornness in his eyes, and his determination did not allow for the slightest doubt.

"The last time Li He and I failed, it was because we met Ling Gongzi, this is fate!" Han Cheng also said half-jokingly, relieving the slightly oppressive atmosphere in the basement. He grinned, baring a mouthful of white teeth.

Li He saw the stark contrast between his white teeth and black face, and couldn't help but think of Han Cheng's humorous experience in the harvest plan more than a year ago.

"Leader, I was very opinionated when I didn't let me go last time, so this time, hehe!" It was Wang Xiang, the tallest of the five, who spoke.

"Leader, don't be pretentious. My wife has been detained for more than a year, and everyone can't bear it anymore. Each member of the Free Man expressed his or her intention to participate by secret ballot. Of the 41 members, there were 34 votes to participate. Participating in this project is also their own, and you have no right to deprive them of this freedom. It was Chen Jingsi who said this, the only lady among the five people.

Zhang Haoyang looked at these young people in their twenties, a smile appeared on his tired face, and he nodded firmly: "I thank you for both public and private." ”

"Boss, let's talk about the plan!" Wang wanted not to beat around the bush and asked bluntly.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Haoyang said blandly.

"What are you waiting for?" Wang wanted to ask.

"Waiting for someone." Zhang Haoyang was stunned.

"Who are you waiting for? I didn't even notify my younger brothers and sisters, just a few of us came to the meeting. Wang wanted to say.

"Who are the leaders and others?" Chen Jingsi was also curious.

"I don't know." Zhang Haoyang shook his head and said.

The four of them all opened their eyes wide, waiting for Zhang Haoyang to continue.

"A behind-the-scenes supporter." Zhang Haoyang stared at an empty seat across the round table and said, "My identity is a teacher in the mathematics department of Lanqi University, and you know this. But maybe you don't know that there is an online database at Lanqi University. Universities across the country can share this database. Although I don't really have the heart to do basic research in mathematics, but since I am covering up my identity, I have to pretend to be a little bit like this, so when I first started as a teacher, I often sent some academic papers, all of which are interdisciplinary problems of linear algebra and multi-objective decision-making in management. ”

"Leader, you are too modest, I have read all the papers you wrote, and I can't understand them at all!" Han Cheng said.

"No, it's not that I'm modest, I think the papers I write are rubbish, but the threshold for journal inclusion has been lowered in the past two years, so I can publish them. Strangely, after half a year, I found that my paper had been cited in an article published by another teacher. ”

"Isn't that weird?" Li He asked.

"Of course it's strange, I thought, such a bad paper is cited, so how bad the paper he wrote. So I read his paper and found that he only quoted one of my matrix transformation methods and explained that the transformation results were in line with what he wanted to achieve, but he did not give this calculation result in the article, which was a loose paper. So I committed obsessive-compulsive disorder and used the data in this article to calculate the results in combination with my matrix transformation method to test whether the conclusions said by the author are correct. ”

"And the result?" Although Chen Jingsi didn't understand why the leader said this, she still asked in passing.

"When it is reduced to an integer sequence, it is clearly not a reasonable result at first glance. But when I looked at the first number in the sequence, I noticed that the numbers must have some meaning. The first number is 6583677373. ”

"Is this number special?" Han Cheng asked.

"Yes, it's special. 6583677373。 This is a numerical representation of the ASCII code. Zhang Haoyang said, "ASCII code is the most common single-byte coding system today, long before I participated in the Dandelion Project, I was exposed to it when I was a student at Xijing Sanhang University of Science and Technology, so I am very sensitive to this number." In the ASCII code, each number corresponds to a symbol. Therefore, I deciphered this sequence of numbers, and translated it into Chinese to mean - Zhang Haoyang, I know your past identity, and I also know your current identity, overthrow this inhumane plan, you need my support. ”

"Oh my God! Who is this man? Chen Jingsi continued to ask.

"I don't know, anyway, there is no malice. If he has malicious intentions, there is no need to do this, and I can end me by exposing me directly. Later, based on his information, I began to contact him through academic seminars. You know, all email exchanges are strictly monitored by the state. So he and I translated the communication information into ASCII code sequences under the guise of studying discrete random number columns, and then translated them into seemingly irregular random number series matrices by the matrix transformation method mentioned in my paper, and communicated in a way of data sharing. Zhang Haoyang paused and continued, "After Wang Xiaoyu's accident, this behind-the-scenes supporter said that he could provide arms support. Now the time has come to act, and this man will meet us here tonight.

"This mysterious figure will be coming in a moment?" Han Cheng asked in a low voice, his fists clenched slightly.

"Don't be nervous, I'm not going to put your safety on the line. I invited him to come tonight, and I was sure that this man was absolutely credible. ”

Knock knock.

There was a knock at the door of the basement.
