Switzerland, city of Zurich.
In the evening, Winn, who was over sixty years old, was wearing a black windbreaker and a black top hat. He slowly walked out of the Blackwatch Institute and walked towards a 1990s-style Porsche car on the side of the road.
Although Winn is already very old, he originally suffered from several elderly diseases and complications such as high blood pressure and diabetes, and his hair is about to turn white. However, since he visited the African branch office a few months ago, That is, after arriving at the Life Sciences City, things changed when I came back.
His hair has returned to black, the wrinkles on his face have been reduced by half, his dry yellow eyes have become more moist, and his figure is no longer as stooped as the old man, but has become much taller and straighter.
At first glance, Winn does not seem like a sixty-year-old man, but like a middle-aged man in his early forties.
Everyone knows that this is the result of undergoing an aging reversal treatment program. All elderly people who have undergone this treatment can miraculously return to middle age from old age.
This is not just a youthful appearance, but also an all-round change in physical fitness, which is enough to make anyone flock to it.
However, the price of this kind of treatment project is really expensive. The most basic treatment project costs more than half a million US dollars, not to mention the more luxurious and exquisite projects. Currently, there are only a handful of rich people and a small number of middle class people in the world. Only the class has the financial resources and qualifications to extend their lives.
Even though the user group is not large, and even though there are sanatoriums all over the world secretly carrying out the same treatment projects, as the most authoritative and famous life science city, the reservations here are still scheduled to be two years away.
At this time, Winn, the general manager of Blackwatch's Swiss branch, walked into his car while humming a Zurich tune. He knew that there would be another appointment waiting for him in thirty minutes.
Yes, as early as twenty years ago, Winn divorced his wife and lived alone in the wild life. It was only ten years ago that his body gradually became overwhelmed and he finally regained control.
But now, the Life Sciences City has given him a second chance at spring, so as a romantic playboy, he naturally feels restless again.
However, just when he got into the car and was about to start it, he suddenly looked at the rearview mirror of the vehicle out of nowhere.
In his perception, there seemed to be someone sitting in the back seat.
However, when he looked up, he saw that the back seat was empty, with nothing in it.
"illusion?"
Winn shook his head, then laughed at himself, and started the car.
Then, Winn drove towards the Page Hotel, the location that he and his date had agreed upon in advance.
Zurich is not a prosperous city. The population density here is extremely low. If it is not a city business district, but some remote trails, except for the occasional car, there is almost no trace of anyone.
At this time, Winn drove the car to a remote path.
Along the way, Winn was humming the Zurich ditty, but just as he was about to cross the path in front of him, suddenly, a completely black car suddenly passed behind him at a speed far beyond the supermarket area. The prescribed speed limit shocked Winn even more.
"Damn it!"
Winn quickly turned his sign to avoid the other's car, but what made him a little angry was that the other party not only did not pass directly, but instead turned towards him, with a strong tendency to block his own car.
Helpless, Winn quickly stepped on the brakes to slow down the Porsche.
But even so, the other party still refused to give in. He simply parked his car in front of Wen En, blocking the entire one-way street and completely blocking Wen En's way.
"What is this doing?"
Winn felt something was wrong, and he subconsciously wanted to reverse the car, but when he looked in the side-view mirror, his expression changed again.
Because a mysterious black car also appeared behind him, blocking his way back.
At this moment, two people finally got out of the black car in front. Both of them were wearing black hoods and carrying firearms. They rushed directly to Winn's car as soon as they got out of the car, "Get out of the car, Mr. Winn." !”
"What do you want to do?"
Winn's expression changed. At this moment, he still didn't understand that he had actually been kidnapped!
"We won't hurt you."
One of the masked men said, "We just want to take you to a place to discuss a business. It's too noisy here, so it will be quieter there."
"Do you want money?"
Win En's expression became even more ugly. He couldn't help but persuade him, "How much do you want? If the amount is not big, I can give it to you directly. But if the amount is too big, I won't be able to make the decision at all, and it will easily attract the police..."
"We don't want money, you'd better obey our orders."
Seeing Winn chattering incessantly, the masked man finally became impatient. He pulled Winn out of the car, then quickly used a metal detector to search all of Winn's metal objects, and then grabbed Winn and walked towards the black vehicle. .
Another masked man drove Winn's car autonomously and followed two black cars towards the suburbs of Zurich.
At this time, Winn was extremely worried. After he got into the car, he was sandwiched between the two of them. Seeing the car driving in an increasingly remote direction, he suddenly spoke again, "What do you want me to do? Kidnap him. What is my purpose? May I know?"
"Soon, you'll find out."
The masked man sighed, turned his head and said to Winn, "Don't be nervous, Mr. Winn, we have no ill intentions towards you. In fact, we are not targeting you, but the company behind you..."
"You mean, Blackwatch Company?"
Winn's expression changed and he quickly explained, "Although I am the Swiss general manager of Blackwatch Company, in fact this company was originally named Preston, and I was one of the shareholders. Later, it was acquired by Blackwatch due to poor management. , and I just continue to help them manage the company."
"Actually, I am not a core member of Blackwatch Company at all, and the branch in Zurich has no secrets at all. If you want to find a breakthrough from me, I'm afraid you will be disappointed..."
"Don't worry, of course we know this."
The masked man snorted coldly, "If you were a core member of Blackwatch Company, we wouldn't treat you like this."
"You have a grudge against Blackwatch Company?"
Winn was surprised, "But since you know that I am not a core member of Blackwatch Company, why did you kidnap me? I don't know any inside information!"
But then, no matter how Winn asked, the masked man stopped talking.
Seeing this, Wen En also knew that he could not persuade the other party with words, so he had to calm down.
The vehicle drove for forty to fifty minutes until it reached a forest close to the Alps and stopped seeing the asphalt road no longer.
"Get out of the car, Mr. Winn."
The masked man took Winn out of the car semi-coercively, and then pointed to a hidden and quiet path ahead, "Did you see that, Mr. Winn, just follow us. I hope you won't do anything stupid."
With that said, he took the lead in walking towards the path.
Win En looked around helplessly, but saw the other masked men looking at him coldly. Then he shrugged and followed directly.
The group of people walked for nearly an hour. The specific time was because their mobile phones and watches were confiscated, so Winn could not get the correct time. In short, when the soles of his feet hurt from walking and it was almost impossible to continue walking, Winn finally walked. I saw a wooden hut appearing in front of the path.
It seemed to be a ranger's residence. Winn subconsciously looked around and saw endless trees in all directions. There were only a few pieces of dried meat hanging on the drying rack in front of the house, and a large number of dried meats at his feet. Animal hair and leather.
Are these people in a primitive state of life
This was the only thought in Winn's heart.
Following the instructions of the masked man in front of him, Winn walked into the cabin in the forest with a dull expression. He saw two blondes sitting in the cabin, and there was a radio transceiver in front of them. The man was lowering his head and discussing something in a low voice.
When they saw Winn coming in from outside, the two blondes didn't say anything, just looked cold.
"Okay, I believe we can block out all interruptions here and let us speak freely."
The masked man also walked in from the outside world. He took off the hood on his head, revealing a young and handsome male face.
"Mr. Winn, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fisher Oppenheimer. You should have heard of my name. After all, there have been some interactions between our family and you."
It was only then that Winn was suddenly shocked. This name was not unfamiliar to him. It was the surname of a large European conglomerate. As if he couldn't believe it, he confirmed loudly, "Your father is Mr. Oppenheimer?"
"Yes, that is my father."
The young man nodded, "I also have a brother named Federer, but he is already dead."
Winn suddenly remembered that six months ago, the Novartis meeting murder case shocked the whole of Europe. More than fifty shareholders of Novartis were killed in a meeting, but the murderers pointed at more than a dozen families who were also shareholders of Novartis. Chaebol personnel.
Until now, the whole world has not understood why those dozen people went crazy and why they launched this massacre that shocked the world. However, those people completely disappeared after launching the massacre, and they have not yet understood it to this day. could not find it.
Federer was one of the missing people that day.
"The whole world thinks that my brother Federer is one of the masterminds of this case, but I am the only one who knows that this is absolutely not the case."
The man paced slowly in the room, seeming to be caught up in past memories, "My brother has a perfect family and amazing talents. Even my father was full of praise for his talents and almost recognized his position as the head of the family. Would such a person destroy his own future and kill his colleagues himself?"
Winn smiled bitterly upon hearing this and said, "Maybe it is true. I have also met Federer, a very outstanding young man. I don't believe he would do such a thing, but this matter seems to have nothing to do with me."
"No, this has a lot to do with you, Mr. Winn."
The young man sneered, "Everyone in the world thought this incident was a terrorist attack, and even thought it was some kind of cult sacrifice ceremony. However, only a few people knew that the Novartis shareholder meeting was actually to deal with a company and a person. …”
Only then did Winn's expression change, "Could it be that..."
"Yes!"
Seeing Winn finally reacting, Fisher nodded, "That Novartis shareholder meeting brought together one-third of the consortium in the entire European region. Its purpose was to deal with the newly emerging Blackwatch Company and the man named Chen Chen’s man!”
"I should have thought of it earlier."
Hearing this, Winn showed a wry smile, "Blackwatch Company has almost destroyed the nursing home business in Europe. No wonder the major European consortiums have to deal with him, but what does this have to do with last year's massacre case?"
Fisher said with a cold expression, "Sherlock Holmes once had a proverb, 'After abandoning all impossibilities, the remaining result, no matter how incredible, will be the final answer.' Therefore, there is only one possibility. This massacre case, It’s Blackwatch Company that is behind this!”
Winn fell silent upon hearing this, and it took him a long time to feel confident, "But how did Blackwatch Company do it?"
"I'm also looking for an answer to this."
Fisher shook his head, "However, after many actions against Blackwatch Company, we have discovered a frightening speculation, that is, this company has amazing control over the network, as long as it uses electronic products , or various chat software, there is a risk of being eavesdropped by this company."
"is it possible?"
Winn was a little surprised and confused. He didn't believe it at first, but now that he was kidnapped by the group of people in front of him, he couldn't believe it.
"The odds are high."
Fisher nodded, "This is not only what we discovered, but you should know that the consortium behind Blackwatch Company also occasionally leaked information, and they joined together to create an organization called 'God's Forbidden Zone', This organization is essentially a mutual aid association, but Blackwatch Company is always able to obtain countless trade secrets and let the consortium in God's Forbidden City spend money to purchase these trade secrets."
"It can also be seen from here that Blackwatch Company has some extremely amazing information channels, which are very similar to our guesses!"
“Is it off limits to God?”
Winn murmured in a low voice. He had actually heard of this organization, but he always thought it was just an Internet rumor like the Freemasons. He didn't expect it to actually exist.
"So, if we want to avoid the eyes of Blackwatch Company, the only way is to come to a paradise without surveillance and electronic equipment."
Fisher spread his hands and said, "Mr. Winn, I am not only avenging my brother, I have also united with a group of environmentalists. All this is for the earth and the environment."
"Yes, for this piece of nature."
The blond woman who had been silent on the side also spoke up. She seemed to be from the Environmental Protection Association, "We and Fisher have different reasons for opposing this company. Our organization found that this company is destroying the earth. It develops longevity projects and treatments." Drugs for terminal diseases will increase the population of the earth, eventually leading to a population explosion. The mother planet we rely on for survival will be destroyed in the hands of humans... "
"Not only that, the other party's Xingtian project is even more shocking!"
Another blond woman said indignantly, "Can you believe it? In the past month, millions of disabled people have purchased bionic prosthetics from the Xingtian Project and transformed themselves into bionic humans! These bastards are destroying the purity of human beings. , human divinity, this is a sign of depravity and blasphemy, and they will definitely go to hell after death!”
“…”
Winn opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
As they spoke, the two concluded, "We dare to swear that the next step of this evil company will definitely be to specialize in the field of artificial intelligence. It is very likely that Skynet will be born in their hands. In any case, we must stop this evil company." Company, no matter what the cost!”
