Zhao Zonghai died.

In this underground base, which is located hundreds of meters underground, heavily guarded, and almost the safest place in the world, he died inexplicably.

He escaped Han Rui's assassination at the beginning, lived for a while longer, and enjoyed life for a while longer, but still died.

Lu Ming sat up reluctantly, got out of bed and walked out of the room, and saw that outside, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei also came out of the room, looking pale.

In the underground base, the sirens are constantly screaming, piercing people's heartstrings. Numerous guards have been deployed to guard every traffic artery and key facility in the base. The three of them quickly came to the area where the seven survivors, plus Hu Shan, were eight.

Here is already under martial law within a state of martial law. The guards were all heavily armed, watching for any movement in the area. At this moment, Lu Ming had no doubt that even if a dinosaur appeared, it would definitely be torn apart by guns and bullets in an instant.

Eight survivors occupy eight rooms. At this moment, the room has been cordoned off, and the survivors are strictly forbidden to leave. The interior of the room is guarded by four guards each, and two guards guard the door.

At this moment, the survivors had also been awakened by the sound of the alarm, heard the heavy and fast footsteps outside, and felt the atmosphere like facing a great enemy at this moment. They sat on the bed, a little dazed, a little frightened, and a little anxiously waiting.

The three members of the second team of the operation ignored them, and went directly to the room where Zhao Zonghai was, and saw with their own eyes the body of Zhao Zonghai who fell to the ground without any breath of life. After a little inspection, Lu Ming confirmed that, at least on the surface, Zhao Zonghai's death was consistent with Han Rui and the others.

"Autopsy, determine the cause of death."

"Yes."

Although he knew that the autopsy was meaningless, and Zhao Zonghai had a high probability that the brain tissue would mature and die, the autopsy was also necessary.

In the hall outside the room, the three of them began to be on duty in person. But this is obviously not of much use either. Because just a moment later, there was a sound in room two like a heavy object falling to the ground.

The three of them immediately went to see Survivor No. 2 also lying on the ground, losing his life.

"!"

He Wei's eyes widened, and she slammed her fist against the wall.

Under his own witnesses, under such a level of protection, that secret organization could still kill people at will!

All of your own protection is almost useless and has no effect!

At this moment, even the guards, who had experienced a hundred battles and had seen many bloody scenes without wavering at all, were a little nervous.

It's like there's a ghost in this area that can't be seen with the naked eye. And at this moment, this terrible ghost is constantly harvesting life.

The death of Zhao Zonghai and the second survivor seems to be just the beginning. Moments later, there was also some movement in the Survivor Room Five.

Survivor Five fell to the ground and died. It was also under the close protection of four guards, who witnessed it with their own eyes.

He fell headlong to the ground and died instantly. It's so fast that you don't even have time to rescue yourself.

Suddenly, there was a cry from the survivor room. The trio immediately went and saw Survivor Six crying there.

The survivor was a young woman, tall and beautiful. Lu Ming, who has read her information, knows that she is a white-collar worker in a large company, with a good family background and many suitors.

"What's going on? Why are there so many people? Is it that killer group that has already arrived? Is someone already dead? ”

She cried with fear: "Save me, save me, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" I still have a lot of things to do, I'm not married, I've never even been in love, and I've always wanted to take my parents out on a trip but haven't had time to do it. I don't want to die, woo woo woo ......"

Lu Ming wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say anything at all.

How to comfort? Tell her you'll be fine? We'll protect you?

It doesn't make the slightest sense. It's even a lie.

Lu Ming and He Wei were both silent. The survivor's eyes grew more desperate: "Can't you save me?" Am I dead? I, I'm dead? Yes, can you give me a call, I want to say goodbye to my parents......"

Zhang Dingshan took out his mobile phone and handed it over—his mobile phone can be connected to the signal transmission channel of the underground base, and can be directly called to the outside world—and at the same time comforted in a deep voice: "Don't worry, we will do our best to protect you." ”

Survivor Six trembled and took his phone and began dialing. But after only three numbers, and before the call could be made, she trembled and two lines of blood flowed out of her nostrils. Her eyes widened, and the look in her heart slowly faded, and then her whole body slammed into the ground like a stake.

She's dead.

Under the witness of Lu Ming, He Wei, and Zhang Dingshan, they died.

He Wei gritted her teeth and clenched her fists with both hands. Lu Ming turned his head sideways, unable to bear to look at her. Zhang Dingshan stepped forward silently, gently stroked her face, made her eyes close, and then took his phone back.

The bodies of Survivor Six were also removed for further examination. The three of them left the room and returned to the hall, each sitting silently in his chair.

Lu Ming only felt a huge sense of powerlessness enveloping his whole body. He knew that there were still five survivors who were under threat of death, and that death could strike at any time, but he didn't have the slightest intention to protect them.

It doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense at all.

No matter what you do, your efforts will be in vain. The methods of that secret organization are beyond their imagination, and they are not at all what they can fight against at this stage.

There was a movement in the room of the survivors of Seven. Lu Ming sat quietly, not even interested in going over to take a look. He watched numbly as the guards carried out a corpse and quietly walked away, his expression not fluctuating at all.

The remaining survivors are still restless. Although they could feel the heaviness and strangeness of the atmosphere at the moment, they did not know what was going on outside.

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan: "Do you want to let them say goodbye to their relatives for the last time?" ”

Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment and shook his head. He Wei didn't insist.

Lu Ming can understand Zhang Dingshan's decision.

In this final stage of life, it is better to end their lives in ignorance than to let them know that their death is inevitable and that death is coming, rather than leaving them in fear.

Even if they are given a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones for the last time, in the midst of this great fear, how many people can still remain sane and talk normally?

The three members of the second team sat numbly in the hall, watching the survivors die one after another. By daytime, all the survivors were dead, except for Hushan.

Lu Ming knew that this meant great trouble. After all, when people were brought in, they were fine, and you said you wanted to protect them, but they died not long after they came in, how can you explain to your family?

There are a lot of things to deal with in the future, and these things must be extremely tricky in the face of grieving and angry families. However, these things will give the local government a headache, and it is not the turn of the second team to deal with them.

It was seven o'clock in the morning. The three still didn't leave. Because it is clear that death is not over yet.

Hu Shan is not dead.

According to the previous death interval, I am afraid that it will not be more than half an hour at most, and Hu Shan will die. Because the two people who had the longest interval between deaths before were two hours. And now, it's been an hour and a half since the last survivor died.

Hu Shan, who has lived in the underground base for a long time, has long adapted to the environment here. At the moment, he was still asleep, unaffected by the outside world. Not even the shrill sirens from earlier woke him up.

But...... It may also be a blessing to lose your life in the moment of sleep without the slightest pain.

Time passed quietly. During this period, Zhang Dingshan's mobile phone rang. He picked it up and looked at it, and said, "The result of the seventh comprehensive investigation is that nothing has been found. ”

Lu Ming nodded silently, and then continued to wait.

On this night, the second team and the guards were not idle. Since the death of the first survivor, numerous guards have begun a thorough search of the entire underground base, looking for any suspicious objects or suspicious persons. In addition to the underground base, there are also a large number of drones and ground searchers on the ground part.

And, seven times in a row. Now, the seventh search has ended, and nothing has been found.

Half an hour passed quietly. But Hu Shan was still asleep, and there was nothing abnormal in his body. The three of them waited for more than half an hour, and Hu Shan finally woke up from his sleep.

Stretching and yawning, Hu Shan went to the toilet under the watchful eyes of the guards, washed his face and brushed his teeth.

He was not at all uncomfortable with the gaze of others.

After cleaning up, he said, "Let's bring some millet porridge and some steamed buns and pickles." Eat something fresh today. ”

He shook the mouse, and the computer screen lit up. On the screen is a game window, in which the game characters belonging to Hu Shan have been fighting monsters all night, and they are still in good spirits, and they can't see any tiredness.

After counting the harvest, Hu Shan nodded with satisfaction. When breakfast arrived, he ate slowly and methodically, and then plunged back into the game world.

In protective detention for a long time, people always have to find something to do. Hu Shan became obsessed with the game during this time, and fought hard to pass the time in the game all day long.

Originally, the underground base was not allowed to connect to the external network. The network where he plays games is specially set up for him by the second team of operations.

Watching Hu Shan play the game for more than half an hour, the three members of the second action team realized that maybe ...... Hu Shan is really different from the rest of the survivors. He's not going to die.

The three of them went to eat with a heavy heart and came to the conference room.

"It's clear that the covert organization has the ability to kill people under our protection. And, Hu Shan is our only bargaining chip, kill Hu Shan, this eucalyptus will not be able to be investigated at all. However, the secret organization still did not choose to kill Hu Shan. ”

What this means, is obvious.

Those who are prescribed the manner and cause of death are special. And Hushan is the special of the special. He was so special that the secret organization couldn't kill him for various reasons.

However, he has no way of knowing what makes him special, and he can't find more ways to use this specialness.

So, how to check the next eucalyptus?

At this moment, Lu Ming couldn't help but have a little doubt about himself in his heart.

We...... Can you really find out this eucalyptus? Can we really find out that hidden organization and prevent more people from becoming victims?

What happened last night was so shocking. The feeling of watching the survivors die one by one, but there is nothing they can do about it, is too much to blow the spirit and will of the person.

This force is almost impossible to oppose. Lu Ming could even be sure that if that secret organization wanted to take the lives of a few of his own, it would be equally easy.

Lu Ming was hit and almost lost confidence.

At this moment, he even had the mind of giving up and admitting defeat.

Maybe...... You can choose to quit and give this eucalyptus to another team to deal with? Although Lu Ming is almost certain that the rest of the team is unlikely to be better than his own in the face of this situation, then the final outcome is almost doomed: after the rest of the team also returns, this eucalyptus will become a hanging eucalyptus.

No matter how much this eucalyptus is involved, no matter how important its status is, no matter how great the threat to the entire human world is, it can only become a hanging eucalyptus.

It's like everyone knows that once the technology of faster-than-light travel is mastered, the entire human world will immediately take a leap forward, evolving from a native civilization to a true interstellar civilization.

This technology is so important, so why is no one studying it?

The reason is simple, everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible to develop results from this technology at this stage.

It's the same back in the moment. Who doesn't know the importance of this eucalyptus? But with the ability of the human world at this stage, it is impossible to find out, so what else can be done if it is not listed as a hanging eucalyptus?

In silence, He Wei muttered, "I don't know what to do next." I, I ......"

She kept her head down, grabbed her hair with both hands, and didn't say a word.

Lu Ming could see that He Wei also seemed to have lost confidence.

What happened last night was too big a blow to the second team of operations.

Zhang Dingshan's expression was ancient and there were no waves. After a long time, he slowly stood up and said slowly: "That secret organization may not be as powerful as they appear at this moment. ”

Well?

Lu Ming had some doubts in his heart.

In front of everyone's eyes, under such a level of security, taking the lives of so many people at will, isn't this powerful?

Zhang Dingshan's words were full of strong confidence: "They are too deliberate. I even think that what happened last night just exposed their fear and weakness. ”
