Chapter 393: Neurotoxins
"Control Lin Shuyue first, don't let him leave."
"Disinfect him thoroughly, and quarantine all those who have just come into contact with him!"
"The base is in a state of emergency, and all other personnel are evacuated to the upwind area!"
"I think it's very likely to be a toxin, but I don't know what it will be."
"Did he take the suit jacket with him?"
Xiao Yu issued a series of orders, and Chen Shen did not question it, but carried out all the instructions according to her requirements.
The entire Dongfeng base entered an unprecedented tense situation, but no one knew exactly why.
Li Bang and several other security personnel were quarantined, and they took off all their clothes on the spot, sprayed their bodies with agricultural sprayers and peracetic acid, and then used fire faucets to conduct high-flow flushing.
Lin Shuyue himself was confined to a separate barracks, with all doors and windows closed, and he could only communicate with the outside world with the help of a wired communication system.
In this regard, not only Lin Shuyue, but even Li Bang felt inexplicable.
After all the disinfection was completed, they were also quarantined, and on the phone, he asked Chen Shen:
"Captain, what the hell is going on?"
"Isn't it just someone coming in? Why are you so nervous? ”
Hearing his question, Chen Shen subconsciously shook his head, and then replied:
"I can't explain it to you, it's now professionals who suspect that Lin Shuyue's identity is problematic."
"Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, we have to remain highly vigilant and eliminate risks before making further plans."
"But we didn't feel anything unusual in our bodies-—— it was because of the hazmat suit?"
Li Bang said puzzled.
"The suit definitely works, but it's also possible that it's not a fast-acting toxin - wait, we've gone to the hospital to find a more comprehensive isolation suit, and we'll have to do a check on the suit later, Xiaoyu suspects that the toxin may be sprayed on the surface of the suit."
"Understood."
Li Bang didn't ask too much, he knew that before Chen Shen made a decision, everything could be discussed, but as long as he made a decision, then no one could question it anymore.
At this time, the "review" against Lin Shuyue has also begun.
As Chen Shen expected, he was completely unaware of the alleged assassination, or even had no concept at all.
In this "suspicion", he is an outright "innocent", and even in order to prove his innocence, he behaves extremely cooperatively.
From receiving the order to setting off, he expressed every detail in great detail, without the slightest concealment, and the whole logic was completely self-consistent, and there were no flaws.
And according to him, the reason why he wears a blazer is actually very "random".
In the temperature of Pubei, it is certainly not necessary to wear a coat.
But considering the "formality" of this meeting, he still asked Lin Mingxian for advice, and the latter thought that it was a bit too "formal", and he didn't plan to let him wear it, but when he finally set off, he suddenly felt that he still had to show "respect" and asked someone to take him to change his clothes.
The clothes were picked by himself, and he originally wanted to choose a set of light and breathable, but Lin Mingxian felt that no matter how light and thin he was, he would sweat anyway, so it was better to choose a fabric that was not easy to get wet and had better isolation, so he chose a linen material by himself.
Other than that, there are no points of suspicion.
But from this series of chaotic details, Xiaoyu has isolated the key doubts.
"It doesn't matter whether his actions were reasonable or not, and it doesn't matter whether the logic of the whole incident is logical or not."
"Because anyone with a normal IQ can make up a plausible story."
"Reality is not a detective, there are not so many flaws for you to catch, there is only one element that you really need to pay attention to: the result."
"As a result, Lin Shuyue really put on a suit, and as we originally expected, the reason why he wore a suit was because there were traces of external forces."
"Wait, wait until the isolation suit is in place, and then go to this suit, what's wrong with it."
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Chen Shen nodded slowly, and then asked:
"Is there a suspicious toxin class?"
"Anything is possible, spraying a suit with a high concentration of ricin can achieve the effect of assassination, but this will inevitably sacrifice Lin Shuyue."
"In addition, there are a lot of contact toxins or viruses that can also be used."
"However, the OMS is very cautious in this regard, and we don't have much intelligence, but one thing is certain, if the CIA were to organize such assassinations, they would have very convenient access to the 'tools.'"
“OMS?”
Chen Shen looked puzzled.
"The CIA's medical support department, they're best known for their use of truth-telling agents and LSD."
"Got it — why is it easy for the CIA to get tools?"
"Don't you know the CIA's black jail in Thailand?"
"I know."
In fact, rumors of a "black jail" at the C.I.A.'s base in Thailand's Udon Thani province resemble a postmodern version of an urban legend that has been described as a horrific hell in a series of gossip that Chen has heard.
Legend has it that it was set up to interrogate suspects of terrorist and separatist activities, to use all kinds of cruel torture methods on a large scale, and to torture every "prisoner" who entered the prison.
As long as you go in, it is impossible to come out again, and it is already a kind of luck to be able to die in it quickly.
But then again, since this is an urban legend, it means that this thing is not credible at all.
In 2018, the legendary base was opened to the public and directly changed to a tourist attraction.
There is really no trace of a "prison" inside it - nonsense, Lao Mei is so idle that she can make a prison in such a place? What's the point?
In this case, why did Xiaoyu mention this detail?
Looking at Chen Shen's bewildered eyes, Xiao Yu continued:
"Thailand's black jail is an exaggerated, conspiracy theorist 'concept' that is a 'water monster' made up from the back of a few pieces of duckweed that have been salvaged from the water."
"But people's imagination can only imagine water monsters, but they can never imagine that there will be icebergs under the water of a pond."
"The CIA's presence in Southeast Asia goes far deeper than you might think, and it has been a fertile ground for CIASAD since the Vietnam War, as the United States calls it."
"A lot of research projects have been placed here, and a lot of them have been withdrawn in the 21st century, but even if it's just a legacy, it's enough to support the rest of their forces to be active here."
"Hell knows what they're hiding, maybe there's a safe house hidden under an ordinary house, and there's not necessarily a small tactical nuclear bomb in it, let alone a toxin commonly used by CIASAD for assassination."
"I see."
Chen Shen nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly, his heart jumped again.
"Safe house?"
"Jingdong has a CIA safe house."
“?? Isn't Jing Dong in your control zone? ”
"It's in our zone of control, but."
Chen Shen did not continue, but immediately dialed He Bangxiong's phone.
After completing the confirmation in a few words, Chen Shen got a piece of news that he expected.
Almost all the management priorities of the coalition forces are placed on Daqili, and although Jingdong, the original important town, cannot be said to be a "vacuum", the control in all aspects is downgraded!
This is the disadvantage of lack of manpower – or rather, there is simply no one in the coalition forces who has the experience to manage such a vast "territory".
The loss of control of management has also led to the shift of management focus.
One of the most typical manifestations is that the control of non-core points has been seriously insufficient, and even the light and dark posts originally deployed near the safe house have been removed and replaced with periodic patrols!
It's possible that the safe house has been prying.
Chen Shen gave He Bangxiong an order to inspect immediately, and He Bangxiong also realized the seriousness of the problem and promised Chen Shen that he would give him the result within 10 minutes.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Shen looked at Xiao Yu and said:
"We made a mistake."
"The safe house that was in our hands may have been pried away again."
"It's possible that the contents are lost."
"Why?"
Xiao Yu frowned suspiciously, and continued:
"There's no reason for them to do that, this safe house is already under your control, and instead of taking the risk of going inside to get something, it's better to transfer it from somewhere else."
"Unless there's one in it"
Xiao Yu's eyes changed suddenly.
"Unless there's something in it that they're hard to get from anywhere else, and at the same time irreplaceable."
Chen Shen added in a deep voice.
"That's right."
"You have to get your people to open the safe house and check it right away, and don't worry about any more sensitivities."
"Blow it up - no, it can't be blown up, there could be some biological or chemical weapons in there, it's the only thing that can't be replaced"
"Let them take a look, just find evidence that the door has been opened!"
"Understood, I've already told He Bangxiong."
Chen Shen sighed, and then said:
"That's enough. I knew we should have disposed of this safe house sooner. ”
"I didn't expect their control to be. So weak. ”
Xiao Yu nodded noncommittally and said:
"You should never expect these warlords to be able to govern and manage, to be honest, it is already very good to be able to do this level."
"At the end of the day, it's our own problem."
"We knew it would have blown it up, and we were hoping to find a way to open it one day."
"It's too greedy, and it's a lesson to be understaffed."
Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Chen Shen comforted:
"It's not anyone's fault, if we have to investigate, we should have done it directly at that time."
"It can only be said that the enemy is not a fool and is not wood."
"Let's hope it's empty."
Xiao Yu's expression was a little solemn.
Of course, she knew that it couldn't be empty, but it had reached this point, and all afterthought was meaningless.
In the last two months, the situation has been moving too fast, and there are too many things at hand, so it is not surprising that something has gone wrong, and it would be strange if it was really smooth sailing.
The two looked at each other, and after a few minutes, Chen Shen received feedback from He Bangxiong.
The security door on the second floor of the safe house was opened, and there were visible marks on the ground.
In other words, CIASAD has indeed begun to operate in Pubei and has taken the irreplaceable equipment from the nearest safe house.
However, the Dongfeng Corps still had no way to enter the safe house, nor could they obtain more detailed information.
Chen Shen could only order He Bangxiong to demolish it from the side at any cost.
At this point, they no longer need to think about any so-called "sensitivity" and "danger", and they don't need to think about maintaining the integrity of the safe house.
All they need is to get into the safe house as soon as possible and figure out what's inside!
This time will not be short, but fortunately, at this time, the isolation gown found from the hospital has also arrived.
Chen Shen arranged for Li Bang, who had already been in contact with Lin Shuyue, to put on an isolation suit, store the suit in a special sealed storage bag, and then disinfect the storage bag and send it to the outside.
Xiaoyu did not delay much, but arranged for personnel to rush to Taluo with clothes, preparing to return to Yunnan to test the clothes.
——
However, this process is no longer necessary.
Lin Shuyue began to have a slight but obvious poisoning reaction, and in such a tense situation, he actually slept in the barracks where he was "held".
Chen Shen couldn't do any further examination on him, and the medical staff couldn't get close.
Soon, however, he developed more physiological reactions.
His muscles gradually relaxed, and he seemed to try very hard to support his body, but he fell to the ground again.
At the same time, he also experienced retching, loss of balance, and even significant difficulty breathing.
He was dying.
This is really an assassination, and this assassination without any warning was actually blocked by Xiaoyu!
"Typical neurotoxin poisoning, it looks a bit like tetrodotoxin, but it shouldn't."
"This is clearly a skin contact toxin. VX, or something like Novichok? ”
Xiao Yu's words were more like muttering, Chen Shen didn't know much about this, he was just worried about the situation of Li Gang.
"Are my people alright?"
"I don't know, we have to see the results of the follow-up analysis. But there is no response so far, and it's basically fine. ”
"They all wore gloves and were quickly disinfected and showered, so theoretically there wouldn't be too much of a problem."
"It's really poisonous. To be honest, I didn't expect this to be an assassination. ”
“?? What do you mean?! ”
Chen Shen asked dumbfounded.
"I just want to use this disposition as a drill to raise your vigilance."
"I didn't expect to hit the real thing in the first exercise."
"It's worse than we expected."
"You have to be ready, the enemy is not going to give us any time to react!"
"I see."
Chen Shen took a deep breath and continued:
"You can't sit still."
"If we don't act, the enemy will always have a chance."
"You have to move, you can't stay in what they're good at."
"You go back to the north first, or you go back to Dachili."
"I can't wait any longer, tonight, I will ask Lin Mingxian for an answer."
"If I can't explain today's events clearly, from tomorrow, I will officially start a war against him!"
