The two men were prepared in advance to infiltrate the basement of Zhilon Group.

Qingcheng Xie, not to mention the fact that Yu He silently hacked into Zhilong Huang's private system before driving off, cloned all of Zhilong Huang's electronic locks, and obtained the plans of Zhilon's headquarters when it was first designed.

Despite the fact that it was nighttime, Zhilon was still heavily secured and the risk of infiltrating from the front was high. The two men studied the map carefully for a while and agreed that entering from the back of the building, near the large truck unloading yard, was the least likely way to be detected, and at this hour, there were trucks going back and forth.

"You know what this reminds me of?" Yu He stares from the shadows at the vans that enter Zhilon's headquarters with their passes.

"What?"

"Auschwitz on the eve of Germany's defeat." Yu He said softly, "The Nazis began to kill the prisoners in the camp in large numbers because they were human evidence, and at the same time the Nazi officers carried out a mass burning of the archives, because they were physical evidence."

"These trucks are constantly going in and out, empty in and full out, and most of what they contain is unseen, although they must be well camouflaged in transit, but ......"

Qingcheng Xie saw Yu He talking and picking up the phone, asking, "What are you going to do?"

"Give each other some trouble."

Less than fifteen minutes after Yu He's call, a funeral car from Shi He Nursing Home turned from an intersection and clanged into the rear of the van.

The driver of the funeral car cursed and got out of the car, dialed the traffic police, and made sure to say that the truck was overloaded, which led to a very slow start and a car accident.

Under normal circumstances, what is the cargo in the car, the traffic police will not stop to check, but once the accident, it is different.

The truck driver was forced to open his position for investigation.

The barn door is open ......

"Sea sand." The truck driver said to the traffic police, "Just some building materials, really not overloaded."

The driver of the funeral car that Yu He sent to drove the mike.

The microphone picked up the sound of conversations from the accident scene.

Yu He heard the word "sea sand" and frowned.

The Zhilon building will be renovated and expanded, so it is normal to have this kind of yellow sand in and out of the building.

However, because it is all mud, the transport capacity is measured in tons, and it is not easy to find some instruments, dirty things, or even broken bodies hidden inside that cannot be seen.

Under normal circumstances, the traffic police do not have the right to ask the driver to clear the sand and unload it - sea sand is not cheap, and sometimes it is a commodity used by shipping companies to auction off their debts when they cannot make ends meet. This is the private property of the Zhilon Group, and even the authorities cannot dispose of this sand and mud without solid evidence.

"It looks like they're really selling the stolen goods. It's like a dozen tons of sea sand mixed with a few kilograms of cocaine." Yu He said, "It's almost undetectable."

"If they dumped bulk stores of listening water into this sand, it would be the same as dumping it into the ocean, completely diluted and hidden." Yu He said, "And for a van of this volume, it's not out of the question to bury a few bodies in the sea sand. I'm not pessimistic, but I do suspect they're killing experimental subjects in batches in the basement right now - if indeed there are any of those subjects."

Qingcheng Xie didn't say anything, but he wasn't surprised by it either.

After all, it is the usual practice to kill prisoners before the war is over and to silence them before things fall apart. The Zhilon group was already a dehumanizing group, so don't expect it to be an exception.

Now, this matter can no longer be delayed, every second is losing the opportunity to find out the truth and save lives.

Yu He and Qingcheng Xie went over the options, and although there were many loopholes in each of them, no one could expect Zhilong Huang to hand over the listening water happily on his own, and they really didn't have any more time to prepare.

The finalized entry location for the two was the entrance to the high-voltage substation.

The entrance looked the least likely to break through because of the high-voltage network all around, but Yu He had been working on it since a while back - and the

This high-voltage network is controlled from the Zhilon headquarters' server room, which is manned 24 hours a day to prevent accidents.

Yu He's ability to hack into the computer room to hijack the control software is not a problem, but the trouble is that the other side is monitoring the computer 24 hours a day, Yu He intrusion, the staff will immediately find, whether it is reported to Zhilong Huang, or when they go over the high-voltage network to restore power, the consequences are unthinkable.

"But there is still a way." Yu He said. Yu He said, "We have to go over a little faster."

He said, picking up his cell phone for the second time tonight and dialing a number.

The second call was made to a 24-hour coffee shop near the Zhilon building.

"Yes, a caramel macchiato delivered downstairs, call this number, my friend will come down to pick it up." Yu He said, quoting a string of numbers that he had looked up in advance.

From this angle where they are standing, they can see the scene in the substation duty studio.

Less than ten minutes, the fat programmer sitting by the window received a phone call, after a few questions and answers, the fat man got up with a bewildered face and walked out of the duty room, before his back disappeared he also scratched his head, it seems he was confused who ordered him a drink in the middle of the night.

"From the duty room to downstairs, a round trip in about five minutes." Yu He unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car and gestured Qingcheng Xie to go over with him, "We have to turn off the high-voltage network within five minutes to energize and turn over."

"...... When did you do the calculations."

"From the first time you told me the content of the basement video." Yu He said while he had already turned on his mobile device.

He was so focused on doing this that he didn't distract himself from Qingcheng Xie's face. Qingcheng Xie, however, looked at the side of his face, the youth's face was illuminated by the light of the cell phone screen, and the lines of code running fast emerged again in the pupils of his dark eyes.

Yu He said while darting his fingers around, "To tell you the truth, when I saw that video, I knew one day you would want to do that."

Qingcheng Xie was a little speechless for a while.

He felt touched inside, and then felt sorry for Yu He - if Yu He liked a girl, then with this kind of heart, who the hell couldn't be chased?

It is a pity that all wasted on their own big man ......

Meanwhile, the fat man got into the elevator and it went down.

Yu He succeeded in remotely holding the main control computer of the high voltage station hostage and started shutting down the grid in sequence.

When the grid is shut down, the red light on the net goes out, a safety sign during high-voltage net detection, and now becomes the basis for them to determine whether the interception is successful.

Yu He watched as they went out one by one from far to near, sighed in relief, put the phone back in his pocket and turned his head to Qingcheng Xie, "Go."

This thing Xie is good at climbing the wall, Miss He is not so good, even if Qingcheng Xie an arm can not make the strength, his old man is much more than Yu He movement.

Yu He previously played are the kind of moderate movement of machinery, where climbing this high pressure wire fence. He just cut off the other side of the controller's prestige suddenly all gone, climbing to half of the face is a little white, do not know how to get off again.

Qingcheng Xie has successfully climbed over the iron barrier and landed at the other end of the high-voltage net. He looked at Shao He's overwhelmed look through the iron net and raised his hand to look at the table: "There are still two minutes, you take it easy, step over here."

Yu He and stuck cat like: "hell ...... simply can not turn over ......"

Qingcheng Xie : "Step on the third frame by the left foot, right hand first."

"Still can't get past ......"

"Watch out, don't rush, there's still time."

However, no one expected that while the two were fighting with the high-voltage network, the Zhilon headquarters patrollers were checking the status of each department's night watch, and they found the high-voltage substation duty room by chance!

"Where's that fat fuck?" As soon as the inspector entered the door and found that there was actually no one in the office, he couldn't help but feel a little nauseous and took out the intercom and started calling the programmer on duty.

"Fatty, where are you? Where did the fish touch go?"

"Boss, I'll just go downstairs and get a caramel macchiato and come right up."

"What macchiato to drink in the middle of the night, so fat and caramel. Hurry back!"

"Yes yes yes, this is coming up boss!"

The inspector cursed and hung up the phone, his eyes swept around the control station, was about to leave, when suddenly, he noticed the high voltage network at the machine energized master valve button, but somehow extinguished.

"Shit! This fat fuck ......!" The station patrolman walked up and pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the fat man's computer.

All the control programs had been shut down by Yu He, but the patrol thought it was accidentally disconnected by Fatty before he left. He was so angry that he scolded Fatty again and started to connect the grid back one by one.

This is really a disaster, Yu He here over the wall half of it, the distant suddenly two drops, crunchy sound into the ear, the face suddenly white -

This is the alarm alert sound of high voltage re-energized!

Qingcheng Xie was also stunned, and made an immediate decision: " Yu He, jump down!"

Yu He turned his head to see, the bottom is about four meters or so of height, all sharp sand ground, jump directly down certainly can fall enough to choke.

Qingcheng Xie's face turned white: "Jump! I'll catch you!"

Yu He at this time is the top of the net wall, one foot just collapsed to Qingcheng Xie standing over there, the other foot have not had time to come, he watched the alarm sounded three times, and then the farthest high-voltage red indicator lights up, and at a very fast pace to him approaching ......

No more delays!

Qingcheng Xie : "You fucking jump!!!"

Yu He knew there was no choice, gritted his teeth, let go of the net, closed his eyes, and fell straight forward -

"Bang!"

Only a muffled sound could be heard.

Yu He the whole person jumped on Qingcheng Xie, when really Qingcheng Xie to hug tightly around the waist!

This scene if replaced by a girl jumping into the arms of a handsome man like Qingcheng Xie, must be very romantic.

Unfortunately, Yu He is a 189cm tall young man, so a solid collision, Qingcheng Xie although he was firmly protected, but still pushed by the impulse to stagger two steps, and finally Yu He was solidly crushed on the gravel.

"Ahem ......"

Qingcheng Xie was hit too hard, Yu He's elbow right in his lungs, he could not help but cough out, the taste of blood in the throat vaguely.

Yu He fell against Qingcheng Xie's chest, looked up and saw Qingcheng Xie frowning and coughing, immediately scrambled up and picked Qingcheng Xie up with him.

"Brother, did it hurt you to squeeze? Are you okay?"

Qingcheng Xie coughed and shook his head, "What about you? Are you hurt?"

Yu He did not expect Qingcheng Xie would really protect him like this, did not answer, suddenly raised his hand to hug him, whispered: "No. You are handsome."

"........."

"Brother, you're really handsome."

This kid is a psycho, this stall still come to break this with him.

Qingcheng Xie coughed lightly and patted Yu He's head: "Hurry up and go."

There is little protection on this side of the high voltage network, and in their opinion, millions of volts is the best barrier.

Yu He and Qingcheng Xie encountered only one lazy security guard, which they avoided without difficulty in the night, and then they arrived at the back door of Zhilon's headquarters.

There is a heavy mechanical lock with a cast of green-faced Pujun.

The mechanical locks are made by a division of Huzhou's most famous steel factory, and the iron pin alone weighs three kilograms.

Yu He looked at the lock, his head hurt, and was at a loss as to what to do, when he saw Qingcheng Xie take a tool that looked like a knife blade from among the objects he was carrying and said to him, "Excuse me."

"You know how to pick locks?" Yu He said, stunned.

Qingcheng Xie leaned down and carefully tested the lock core with a tool while listening to the sound of the latch clicking.

Then it says: " The infrastructure stone of Zhilon's headquarters has the building's completion date, year, supervision and the contractor as required. The lock also bears the Huygens logo."

"So what?"

"There is an uncle in my neighborhood who has been working at Huzhou Steel for almost forty years and has been in charge of the iron lock melting in this garage for thirty years." Qingcheng Xie said, "He was responsible for forging the heavy iron locks for these big factories in Huzhou from 90 to 20 years. I asked him about the opening method."

Yu He : "......... You Huzhou people are really deep in hiding."

Qingcheng Xie glanced at him, did not speak, after a few moments, the lock eye came several consecutive muffled click.

The lock is open.

Qingcheng Xie only a little force, the heavy chain was he four or two to pull down on the ground, raising a fine dust.

Qingcheng Xie and Yu He pushed open the door and walked in cautiously and warily. As a result, they did not walk a few meters away, their footsteps stopped again.

There is actually a second door here!

The second door uses iris-sensing technology, which requires a recorded person to be biometrically identified.

Yu He went up and looked at the program code of the lock, the factory number, the manufacturer's home, and then said, "I can break this one, I'll do it."

Today, Qingcheng Xie naturally does not have any doubts about Yu He's hacking skills, and if he says he can crack it, he can definitely crack it.

Qingcheng Xie is waiting quietly nearby.

During the waiting process he developed a subtle feeling -

In the past, he almost always fought alone, many things can eventually be solved, but the process is inevitably more than one.

And this time when he went to Zhilon basement with Yu He, he and Yu He were able to work side by side as he used to do with Ciyan Qin, and he even had to admit that things became much better with Yu He by his side.

This makes Qingcheng Xie feel nostalgic and dangerous, because of some unknown secret, he actually does not want to be so close to others now, especially the distance in action and in mind ......

With this in mind, a short but pleasant music alert sounded.

Yu He : "It's on."

The electronic doors slowly closed to the sides, revealing the deep, dark canals inside.

This is exactly a bomb shelter type basement designed after the wartime.

The basement has an unsettling chill, and a corridor with a deep sea of depressing and dark tones.

The icy AI female voice rang out in the hallway, "Guest, welcome to Zhilon Entertainment."

Long lights lit silently on the wet and cool walls, one after the other ...... waiting for them to go forward.

Qingcheng Xie and Yu He held their breath as they walked forward together. The color palette, background wall color and texture were exactly the same as the one recorded in Xue Zhao's video. It was like they were walking into a well-made science fiction movie, and when they reached the nearest corner, their eyes opened up and their retinas were reflected in a scene that gave the science fiction movie an extremely frightening tinge.

This is a huge underground central chamber with complex tunnels spreading in eight directions, and Yu He and Qingcheng Xie are at the exit of one of these tunnels.

In the center of the rotunda stands an amethyst-cut feng shui pillar with a three-person baroque architectural cross in front of it.

At the bottom of the cross is a set of petri dish bins.

That is a sterile compartment in the research room, where the temperature and humidity can be set to preserve the test samples for a long time.

If Zhilong Huang has a certain amount of listening water, then this is the best place to store it. Qingcheng Xie immediately walked forward, but was disappointed when he saw what was inside the warehouse.

The culture bins have all been emptied.

Yu He turned on the hidden camera watch he was wearing on purpose to video the scenes - he was conducting forensics from the moment he entered the basement.

"Zhilong Huang did destroy evidence before the incident." Yu He said. Yu He said, "Let's look further ahead."

The basement is complex, but it's also an inch of land in Huzhou, where the Zhilon Group's headquarters has a limited footprint, so it can't really be a maze. It's just that the entrance to each tunnel is protected by a mechanical lock and a biological lock, so Yu He and Qingcheng Xie had to spend some time deciphering it.

The eight canals were connected to eight closed chambers, and Qingcheng Xie went through the process of hanging their hearts in the air as they opened each one, because they didn't know what was waiting for them in the closed chambers.

"There is no one, but there are blood scratches on all sides of the walls." Yu He entered the first closed room, while videoing and surveying the scene inside this room, "The scratches are staggered, both deep and shallow, meaning that the force ranges from strong to weak ...... if I'm not wrong."

He opened the wolf's-eye searchlight that he brought with him, and shone a light into the four walls of the dimly lit room.

The flashlight finally settled on a mesh ventilation device in the corner of the ceiling.

Yu He's eyes darkened: "This is a gas chamber."

When he was in Europe, he visited the infamous Nazi concentration camp gas chambers during World War II, and even after nearly a century, he could still feel the eerie chill when he walked into them. The walls of the gas chambers were covered with scratches, and the walls were caked with mold and blood stains that could not be distinguished from their original color.

The moment Yu He walked into this place, he had the same feeling as when he entered the gas chamber site of the concentration camp. The spirits of the dead here are more vivid because the time of death in vain is more recent.

It's as if when you close your eyes, you are surrounded by people screaming madly in the gas - people dying without dignity like animals being slaughtered ......

Yu He recorded the bloodstain scratches on the wall and then went to the next tunnel with Qingcheng Xie.

The next closed room connected by a canal is an archive room.

But the stuff inside was either moved or burned.

On the ground is the charred ash produced by the burning of paper, barely found a few scraps of pages, the contents of the scraps are also all some private files that can not support anything.

The third archive room is the specimen room.

But all the stuff in the formalin solution is gone too ......

The fourth room, the interrogation room.

Some torture instruments can be seen, and the cold-toned light hits a tiger bench in the very center.

Fifth room, infirmary.

There is only one surgical bed left and some routine medical equipment.

The sixth room, a house arrest room to prevent suicide of mental patients, has soft treatment on all four corners and walls.

Qingcheng Xie and Yu He didn't have much conversation along the way, as they both had an uneasy feeling that there was probably no direct evidence of Zhilong Huang's guilt here.

The basement is now unguarded, the petri dishes, herbs, instruments, specimens, and materials ...... have all been emptied, which means Zhilong Huang has probably completely cleaned out his "nest". So he didn't need to guard the place heavily.

The seventh room.

The door opened.

What comes to mind is a very familiar scenario for Qingcheng Xie.

Xue Zhao The scene in the video.

This place is larger than the previous six closed rooms, and it should not be called a room, but a separate space. The layout inside is like a prison cell, and one can imagine that victims like Xue Zhao were locked up in these small rooms, with no way to live and no way to die.

They walked around inside and all the cells were already empty and there was no one inside.

However -

"Qingcheng Xie, come and look." Yu He suddenly stood fixed in one of the cells and said to Qingcheng Xie, "There are words on this."
