Chapter 146: A Thousand Clues

Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui returned to the IAFA base on their front and back feet, but it was still too late, and the interstellar poachers tied Cheng Jing and Zhu Xinyue and disappeared, leaving only a messy base and panicked researchers.

The scene that Cheng Sikong didn't want to see still happened, which is why he has been emphasizing with Shu Yungui the preservation of vital power.

IAFA does not exist as an armed combat organization, but only a research institution, until Cheng Sikong joins to have the first strong combat effectiveness, but the overall combat ability of the organization is still very insufficient.

Later, Shu Yungui, Jiang Ruzhou, Zhu Xinyue, and Lin Ai gradually joined, and the situation was better, but the human-insect war consumed a batch of combat power, and the gene sequencing work also dispersed most of the agents.

The oxygen ring has been barely blocked by the staff, but the water is still flowing down the gap, Jiang Ruzhou is injured and unconscious, Lin Ai and the two children are guarding him in front of the bed.

The two children were also frightened, and when they saw Shu Yun returning, they pouted and stretched out their hands to hug him.

"It was my mistake, I didn't expect Aalto Ranga to target IAFA."

Shu Yungui hugged the two children, bowed his head and was silent for a long time before saying, "You just took their warehouse over there, and there was an attack here, but if I were Aalto Lanhe, with these human weapons, I could have fought you in the warehouse, why did I come to attack the base?"

Cheng Sikong leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, and thought for a long time, "You mean, it is very likely that he has planned to attack the IAFA base a long time ago? Just happened to coincide with the timing of my raid on the inducer depot? Can...... We haven't made a move, so how could he have thought of attacking us?"

"It should be that my infiltration into the black market was exposed, but he couldn't touch me when I was at the military exercise site, so he could only retreat to attack the IAFA base, and as long as the hostages were in hand, I wouldn't worry about returning the inducer."

Both of them had very ugly faces, seeing that the inducer was successful, but they were countered by someone, Aalto Ranhe was murderous, and the two girls fell into his hands and did not know what kind of torture they would suffer.

Lin Ai saw that they were preoccupied, and took the two children out, the leader of the second group had already led people to drain the stagnant water in the base, and a group of people also inspected the entire base to confirm that there were no remnants of interstellar poachers lurking in the base.

"Report to the President, the main building has returned to normal operations."

A group leader stood outside the door and asked, "What do we do with the inducer we brought back?"

This batch of inducers was said to have been stolen from the monastery, but there was no evidence, and it was originally to be shipped back to Cheng Jing and them for testing and confirmation, but now that Cheng Jing is being tied, Aalto Lanhe named him to exchange hostages for inducers, so the authenticity of this batch of inducers does not need to be tested again.

"Hasn't there been any news from the Star Thieves?"

The leader of the group shook his head and said, "No, the technical team has been tracking the traces, but there is no result yet."

Cheng Sikong pressed his temples hard, and his head ached.

Since ancient times, kidnapping has to contact the family to pay money and goods, Aalto Lanhe said that he wanted an inducer, but now that the inducer has been returned, he has not been able to contact him, so that Cheng Sikong does not know where to find him.

"It's weird."

One group leader looked suspicious and said, "When we tracked each other, I was very sure that there were only ten of them, and the number of people on the scene was also correct, how did they find the base?"

The leader of the second group also grabbed his hair and said suspiciously: "I asked the agent in charge of escorting, and they said that they had deliberately gotten out of the car to check before entering the undersea acceleration channel, and no suspicious person was found to follow them."

"And our acceleration channel will only be opened after being certified by insiders, can it be ......?"

Before he finished speaking, a group leader immediately covered his mouth, and the two looked at Cheng Sikong and Shu Yungui at the same time.

If there was no one to cooperate with the outside world, this raid would not have been carried out so smoothly, and it happened to be in the gap between Shu Yungui's military exercise and Cheng Sikong's group and group two outings, and even the time to leave was exactly right.

But if there is

People should be inside and outside, it shouldn't be as simple as kidnapping, at least IAFA insiders know that the main building has been equipped with a protective gate, interstellar poachers have always been thieves, if there are internal ghosts, then the things in the main building will definitely not be saved.

But seeing that Alto Ranhe couldn't enter the main building, he looked angry and ruined, and it didn't look like someone was answering.

Or rather, the person who answered him had just entered the base and didn't know that there was a gate in the main building.

The range of suspicious persons narrowed down immediately, and that person must have entered IAFA after Lin Ai's attack, and it was accurate to the point after the gate was installed.

Except for a group of newly recruited agents, the rest of the newly recruited agents have been scattered to carry out genetic sequencing missions, and have not returned to the base for a long time, so that there are fewer people who can be suspicious.

Cheng Sikong looked at Shu Yungui, and a name appeared in the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

"I'll handle this matter, your military exercise hasn't ended yet, you can't leave for too long, go back quickly."

Shu Yungui shook his head and said: "You are alone, you have to repair the base, find suspicious people, and deal with interstellar poachers, now Jiang Ruzhou is also injured and can't help you, I don't have to go to the field in person for the next military exercise, just leave it to Deng Yingkai to deal with."

said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and before Shu Yungui's voice fell, Deng Yingkai's communication came in.

Shu Yungui looked at Deng Yingkai's name on the army's special communicator, his eyelids jumped slightly, it was still late at night, there were still a few hours before dawn, it was the time to fall asleep, is there something urgent when the communication is coming now?

He hurriedly answered the communication and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Deng Yingkai's face appeared on the screen, he seemed to have just gotten up from bed, his military uniform was not properly dressed, and the black overalls vest inside was exposed.

"Let me ask you something, did you blow up the Dawning Space Jump Ship in the Giant Lion No. 1 wormhole before, causing hundreds of millions of tons of azurite ore to leak?"

Shu Yun was stunned, this is no secret, right? He thought that everyone in the whole star field knew about it.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Deng Yingkai's face was a little strange, scratching his face, his eyes kept looking into the distance, and asked, "Then after the accident on the Dawn, did you go back to the Giant Lion No. 1 wormhole to see it?"

"After the Dawn blew up, the channel outside the Giant Lion No. 1 wormhole was closed, and I didn't go back to see it."

Shu Yungui became alert: "Did you find something outside the Giant Lion No. 1 wormhole?"

"I just looked for Tang Yue, and he said that you have something to do and go back to the IAFA base, but I think you have to come back to see this matter in person."

He flipped the camera, and outside the porthole was a pitch-black universe, and the depths of the universe were like a book lifting the corner of a paper, shimmering blue in the light of the ship's searchlight.

This kind of light Shu Yungui is too familiar, it is the radioactive light emitted by the azurite rough.

"Our rebel formation is exploring the site for tomorrow's military exercise, and Mecha 23 found that it was glowing here, and when I flew over and looked, I found this."

Deng Yingkai sat on the small spaceship, close to the past, in the camera screen, you can clearly see that there seems to be a film-like thing in the universe, from the front, there is nothing in the vast universe, and from the back, countless azurite mines float in the universe, imprisoned by this film outside the giant lion No. 1 wormhole.

"I asked someone from the technical department, and it was a one-way curtain, which is used to shield the debris of the ruins during the detonation operation of a large space, and is composed of a special mirror coating composed of multiple independent light-emitting tubes, which can reflect the surrounding environment and achieve a concealment effect."

Seeing this scene, Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong's eyes widened slightly, which must be the reason why Aalto Lanhe was in a hurry to ask the Sanhe Group for the outer channel of the Giant Lion No. 1.

Deng Yingkai wondered: "I remember that the alliance government claimed that the azurite leak could not be recovered in the universe, and the resource redemption tickets issued were also not honored, causing energy prices to skyrocket overnight."

"But the azurite ore is obviously still here, and it is not particularly difficult to recycle, could it be that the alliance government is deceiving the people? Don't want to exchange the resource redemption ticket at 30% of the market price?"

It's hard to say whether the coalition government is involved in this matter, but Shu Yungui and Cheng Sikong understand that at least the Sanhe Group is involved, and even the leader.

Sanhe Group wanted to hide this batch of azurite ore privately from the beginning, so under the pretext of the Dawning incident, it put the responsibility on Shu Yungui, who was still an intern at the time, and wanted to find a substitute for the dead ghost.

Without energy supplementation, energy prices in the star field will naturally continue to rise, and as the largest energy company in the Hope Star Alliance, the high energy prices are harmless to the Three Rivers Group.

As for whether the one-way curtain was planted by the Three Rivers Group or the Star Poachers, this is still questionable for the time being, but whether it is the Three Rivers Group hoarding Juqi or the Star Poachers secretly hiding the kyanite mine, this matter will do more good than harm to both of them.

Only ordinary people and small and medium-sized enterprises have suffered, and even the third-generation mecha designed by the alliance army has been shelved due to energy problems, otherwise when the man and insect war is fought, the human race may be able to suffer fewer casualties.

"We can't recover these azurite ores from our rebel formation and IAFA, and we still have to notify the alliance government to deal with them in the end, so our rebel formation will treat it as if we don't know about it and withdraw people."

Deng Yingkai said "Ah": "Isn't it a military achievement to discover such a big secret? Don't we want it?"

Shu Yungui said in a deep voice: "Some military functions are required, some military merits are unacceptable, interstellar poachers are already angry, and whoever moves their cheese at this time will have to fight to the end."

Zhu Xinyue and Cheng Jing are still in their hands, and at this time, neither the rebel formation nor IAFA should touch the tiger's beard anymore, let the alliance government be this punching bag.

As long as you can distract Alto Ranhe, there may be a way to free the hostages while keeping the inducer.

Just as he was thinking about how to entangle with Aalto Ranhe, the technical team members hurriedly ran over, and even slipped because the water stains on the ground were not dry, and were held by the group leader who reached out and held him.

Cheng Sikong immediately asked, "Have you found the trace of the star thief?"

The person in the technical team gasped, shook his head, and said, "No, it was the other party who sent a message."

He handed the display to Cheng Sikong, and a source of information was deciphered by encryption, and a sentence was displayed on the screen.

"I'll see you tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon at the port of Burz, bring my inducer."
