It's summer. Among the weeds next to the funeral parlor in the suburbs of Heilong City, He Wei, who was wearing a camouflage uniform, lay on the ground, picking up binoculars from time to time to look at the funeral parlor in front of her, or take a look at the monitoring screen next to her.

After learning that the "deceased" kidney specimen had also detected the compound that was suspected to be able to put people into hibernation and suspended animation, a vast net was quietly opened in the dark, without alarming any outsiders.

Attending doctors, nurses, morgue staff, corpse trucks, funeral homes, crematoriums, etc., all the people and places in the whole chain are strictly monitored.

But all previous monitoring failed to detect anything. And today, it is the last day of the memorial service for the deceased. If there were no accidents, his body would have been cremated today.

This means that if the hidden organization hidden in the shadows really wants to "kidnap" the deceased, today is the last chance.

Zhang Dingshan, also wearing camouflage, monitored the funeral home from the other direction.

He knew that at this moment, in addition to himself and He Wei, two members of the Planetary Security Bureau's Thirteenth Operation Team 2, there were at least three hundred of his own personnel in the vicinity who were ready at all times.

As soon as the signal is given, these hundreds of people will be able to complete the encirclement of the funeral home. The various equipment they carry is enough to complete even a battle on a regular battlefield.

As long as the people of the secret organization dare to come, as long as he is not a superman who can fly away and shatter mountains with one punch, he will definitely be able to keep him.

Time is ticking. Through internal monitoring, He Wei saw that the memorial service had come to an end, and the body had been transferred and was on its way to the blast furnace of the crematorium.

A silent drone equipped with an ultra-high-definition camera clearly captured this scene at an altitude of several hundred meters.

The body eventually went to the cremation workshop.

According to speculation, Lu Ming's "remains" are very likely to have been dropped at this link. Then this time it is equally likely.

He Wei secretly clenched his fists.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of very soft footsteps behind her. This made He Wei's muscles tighten immediately.

She didn't look back, because she had to keep an eye on the surveillance footage to make sure she could react immediately to any surprises.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a low snoring came to her ears.

She casually pulled out a dagger, placed it next to the surveillance screen, and saw the scene behind her through the reflection of the dagger.

It was a wild dog with a sticking out tongue and a fierce look.

"Wang!"

The wild dog barked, spread its legs, and quickly rushed towards He Wei, who was lying on the ground. He Wei stood still, as if unaware of the threat.

When the wild dog opened its mouth and was about to bite her, He Wei slashed into the air with her left arm like lightning, cutting the wild dog's throat with extreme precision.

Under the action of inertia, the wild dog directly crossed He Wei's body, fell to the side and twitched a few times before moving. He Wei put the dagger away.

He didn't look at the wild dog all the time. Her eyes were glued to the surveillance footage.

"Come on, come on, let me see who is making such a big move on our earth......"

He Wei is ready to face any situation.

But...... Nothing happened.

The monitoring in the cremation workshop shows that the cremation chemical company has been working in an orderly manner. He lit the flame in the crematorium and waited for the temperature to rise, while pouring combustion liquid on the body of the deceased, and then pushed the corpse cart to the crematorium.

The next moment it was cremation.

But no mysterious person appeared, and an unknown corpse was used to take the body away.

The cremation chemical industry opened the furnace door, but unexpectedly found that the flame inside was extinguished in an instant.

Through the monitoring, He Wei clearly saw that the face of the cremation chemical industry was full of doubts.

He Wei slammed his fist on the ground.

The plan failed.

When the cremation chemical really wants to cremate the corpse, the mechanism that has been set up before will automatically cut off the fuel supply, and the flame will be extinguished, which can prevent the body from being cremated.

She stood up with a gloomy face.

At this time, there is no need to lurk.

"Control the personnel handling the whole chain, especially the control of the pyrochemical industry. Take the body away. ”

Zhang Dingshan gave the order.

Without the knowledge of the deceased's family, the deceased's body was taken away by the previously arranged personnel for temporary storage. At the same time, the entire funeral home, as well as doctors and others, were also taken to another venue.

This time, Zhang Dingshan made more careful arrangements. He was convinced that, at least as far as was known, no one could resort to assassination and kill any of the people under his control.

The subsequent incommunicado trial began immediately. However, Zhang Dingshan did not continue to stay here.

He followed the ice coffin containing the body of the deceased to Shi Guofu's laboratory.

A few hours later, the test results appeared.

"Traces of that compound were also detected in the new specimens."

Zhang Dingshan nodded: "Professor Shi, can you be sure that this corpse is really dead, or is it in 'hibernation'?" ”

I'm afraid the doctors in the hospital won't do this kind of thing. They have more convenient indicators to judge, such as heartbeat, such as brain waves, etc.

But these conventional means are clearly not applicable in the face of the current situation.

"I can try."

After a group of experts led by Shi Guofu were busy testing for a long time and discussing for a long time, Shi Guofu said to Zhang Dingshan: "According to our definition, no matter what aspect you look at, he is dead. ”

"What do you mean by 'by our definition'?"

Shi Guofu was puzzled: "He is indeed dead, but the state of death is slightly different from normal death, and some of his cells still maintain weak vitality. If the body had been frozen and well preserved, showing no signs of decay, then theoretically, well, just theoretically, there should have been some way to 'resurrect' it again. Of course we can't do that. ”

"If he doesn't freeze, will he rot?"

Shi Guofu nodded affirmatively: "Yes." Once corrupted, there's no way to resurrect it, I'm sure. ”

Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly.

In modern society, after death, most of the body is frozen. In this respect, the covert organization takes advantage of this process in human society.

This time, the investigation finally found a little information, but on the whole it was of little value.

"Put this body here first, you can freeze it. Specimen testing will continue, and I will be notified immediately if I find anything. ”

"Okay."

It was only a short period of time since he assisted the Planetary Security Agency, and Shi Guofu received enough allowance to treat his child's illness. However, the child's future rehabilitation will cost a lot of money, and now Shi Guofu is full of energy, and he wishes that the task period would be longer.

Field hospital.

After confirming the appearance of a second victim, Lu Ming's uniqueness was broken, and it was confirmed that he was not a monster or an alien, and the monitoring of him was greatly weakened.

However, due to the identity of the sole survivor, this surveillance continues. But now he can at least get out of the room, move indoors, and have direct contact with more people.

You must know that before this, everyone who came into direct contact with him was risking their lives, and they were all determined to be eaten by Lu Ming, who turned into a monster, at any time and sacrificed.

Now, Lu Ming can finally sit at the conference table and talk directly with Zhang Dingshan and He Wei.

"Either there's an inner ghost inside, or that covert organization has monitoring tools beyond our ability to protect. Our actions were detected by them from the very beginning. I'm leaning towards the second point. ”

Lu Ming expressed his opinion.

"I agree."

He Wei nodded: "From this point of view, that secret organization is trying to avoid direct contact or conflict with us. To do this, they do not hesitate to abandon the predetermined goal. ”

"I expect a third victim to show up. What are you going to do then? ”

"If you don't monitor it, just let them take the victim away." Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "After that, we will review the personnel handling the whole chain to see if we can find clues." ”

Judging from Lu Ming's experience, there is a high probability that the organization will collude with insiders when the body is dropped. In that case, let them wrap up the body, and then check all the people who handled the body one by one.

At this moment, Lu Ming had another idea in his mind.

"Perhaps...... We can start by looking at what different victims have in common and find out what we have in common. Maybe you can find the pattern of that organization. ”

He Wei knocked on the table dissatisfiedly: "This is just a basic operation, we have been doing it for a long time." ”

"What did you find out?"

Lu Ming was full of expectations.

"Yes, there are a lot of them. For example, you are all human, both male, speak the same language, and both live in Asia. ”

This is indeed the common denominator, but it is clearly of little value.

At this time, Zhang Dingshan's mobile phone rang.

After reading the information, Zhang Dingshan's expression became solemn.

"He Wei, I'm afraid the commonalities you said are going to be denied. Victim No. 3 appeared, female, 47 years old, living in Europe. ”

This time, Zhang Dingshan did not make any advance arrangements, did not lurk, did not monitor, and did nothing, as if he did not know about this matter at all.

At most, it is only through some public channels to find out the arrangements after the death of the deceased.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the body of the deceased had been cremated. And this means that if the secret organization really drops the body again, then they have done it at this moment.

It's time to close the net.
