——
Under the cover of night, in a residential area on the outskirts of Magic City.
A black supercar led the way, followed by two off-road vehicles, as they slowly drove into this unremarkable residential area.
Probably because it is far away from the city center, the entire community is built on a large scale, and great care is taken in the use of green areas and public land. There are many green areas and squares of various sizes, simple fitness fields, children's playgrounds, etc.
Perhaps because of this, the community seems very lively late at night. Some old people are taking a walk, some young people are jogging at night, there are couples playing with their children, and groups of aunts are dancing in the square.
The world was peaceful and prosperous, and even the tragedy in the center of the White Demon City had no impact on this place.
But perhaps no one could have imagined that this very place of peacefulness is also the best place to harbor filth and dirt.
As the times progress and technology becomes more advanced, industries such as construction are naturally also advancing with the times.
Nowadays, almost all newly built residential communities must be equipped with underground parking lots, which are connected in all directions throughout the entire community, and often there is not even one floor, but two or three floors.
This type of parking lot basically requires hollowing out the underground space of the entire community. For any slightly larger community or several phases of real estate projects connected together, it is not an exaggeration to regard the underground as a huge underground city.
This "underground city" has no shortage of water and electricity, but in order to save electricity costs, no property management company is willing to illuminate the entire interior. The induction lights and dim lights in a few areas are already great.
This means that most of the interior will be dark.
Ordinary people would not gather and hang out there, because the terrain is complex and it is difficult to tell the direction. Even people who use it for travel are very few, and at most they would park or drive in a hurry.
This is just the first underground floor. The second and third underground floors will be even more desolate and lonely. Except for a few cleaning staff, not many people will go there.
In such an empty and dark underground space, it would be very easy to hide something or to hide an additional isolated space in it.
And that is exactly the case.
Underground of this community is another Gardner research base, hidden in the parking lot on the third floor below ground.
Simply using walls to block off a part of the underground space will not be felt at all in the underground where it is difficult to tell the direction and there is no reference.
Apart from the property, ordinary people rarely even pass by. Even if they do pass by occasionally, they come and go in a hurry. They will not feel anything unusual, let alone investigate further.
Therefore, let alone separating it with a concrete wall that is no different from the surrounding area, even putting up a construction barrier can make people ignore it and take a detour.
"I didn't dare to follow them further inside. Besides, the people in the property management might be connected to them. This kind of concealment can be hidden from passers-by, but it certainly can't be hidden from the property management..."
Yang Bowen stood at the entrance of an underground parking lot in the residential area. While waiting for the lever to be opened, he sat in the passenger seat of the Venom supercar and described the situation in a slightly hurried tone.
"It's okay. I asked you to connect the switch just now to help Bochao hack into the surveillance network of the community. The surveillance cameras in the community and along the way can't capture the images of my car."
Xia Xu comforted him calmly.
There are so many cars entering and leaving the community every day, and there are several underground garage entrances and pedestrian entrances. Even if the property is really controlled by Gardner, it would be impossible to check them all. Only the Venom supercar is more eye-catching.
Given the situation that just happened today, it is a question whether the other party will remember to instruct the property management to keep an eye out for the Venom supercar.
Even if there was, it would be useless. In modern society, most monitoring relies on surveillance cameras. Just now, he had asked Yang Bowen to cooperate with him to access the internal network of the community, and asked Meng Bochao to hack into the entire surveillance network.
"That's good."
Yang Bowen was worried about this and he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Where are He Qing and Pan Long?"
Xia Xu asked while turning his head as he drove towards the underground parking lot.
Yang Bowen said: "The two of us will keep an eye on it from below to prevent any unexpected situations."
"Well, you and them will leave immediately, and don't interfere with what happens next."
Xia Xu nodded slightly.
He did not intend to let the people from Jiuyang Consulting continue to interfere in the subsequent matters.
After all, the division of labor is different. They are experts in tracking and investigation, but except for Pan Long who was casually assigned by him, the combat effectiveness of others is not good enough compared to a special organization like Andra, and they lack the ability to protect themselves.
This is also the reason why he arranged Pan Long to be there and has never transferred him away. Only with the support of a true super-powered person like Pan Long at the protagonist level can Yang Bowen and others be provided with a sense of security.
"Aaron is leaving too?"
Yang Bowen was a little confused.
Pan Long is a true super-powered person, and they have been together for so long that their strength is obvious to all.
"It's best if he goes with you guys. Although his special abilities are amazing, his body is not much stronger than an ordinary person, and he doesn't have much combat experience."
Xia Xu shook his head.
Although Pan Long is the protagonist of "The Thrower", to be frank, he is actually just a young man who has just started out, because he has absolutely no combat experience, and the development of his abilities is definitely different from the original plot.
In this situation, he did not have much ability to protect himself against guns. He could intercept a few bullets by using the loss of volume, but once he was attacked by surprise or was unable to react in time, he would be killed by just one bullet.
Unfortunately, he didn't have much combat experience. He could barely handle small situations, but it was too risky for him to participate in a surprise attack of this magnitude.
"Given Aaron's personality, I'm afraid he won't be happy about it."
Yang Bowen smiled bitterly.
Naturally, he and Xia Xu were very clear about Pan Long's character.
How could a character who can play the protagonist in a superhero plot be content with an ordinary role? He was already very enthusiastic about this kind of thing, not to mention that he had learned from Xia Xu that his missing parents might be related to Andra's forces.
During this period, Pan Long has been tracking down Andra's related forces without any slack. Now that he has finally got some news, how could he be willing to leave
"What?"
Sure enough, they drove into the underground garage and met up with He Qing and Pan Long. When Pan Long heard Yang Bowen's instructions, his voice rose two octaves.
"Brother Xu, I am a superpower after all, I can help in some way..."
Pan Long became anxious and quickly begged Xia Xu.
He had heard that this force was the organization that created the wolf giant this morning. It was the first time he saw a creature as truly "supernatural" as himself, so he naturally wanted to see it for himself.
Besides, the mechanical centipede spine was most likely made by his father, and this organization is the one that possesses the technology of mechanical centipede spine. Naturally, he is unwilling to give up such a rare clue.
