When he opened the heavy vault door, he was greeted by the rancid smell of burnt meat.
Sherron narrowed his eyes, pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, and dragged Carter's mutilated body in.
Why do you have to carry this body with you
Because Xie Lun was afraid of "frauding corpses again."
The mutated and deformed man whose limbs were broken by Xie Lun was also lying on the ground motionless. It seems that Carter is their headquarters. Once Carter dies, other deformed people will die with him.
Sherron threw Carter's body into the deepest part of the secret room. After he was sure that he could see it at any time, he carefully began to search the surrounding area.
Most of the safes originally stored in this secret room are already empty. Judging from the dust accumulated on it, it must have been moved away a long time ago.
Now there are only a few piles of seemingly insignificant waste paper stored here. Judging from the papers scattered on the floor, it is estimated that those deformed people are rummaging through this pile of waste paper, but they don't know what they are looking for.
Xie Lun flipped through it a few times and found that most of it was scrap paper drafts. A few of them had messy numbers and symbols on them, but they couldn't be understood at all.
Finally, a dirty black notebook was found under the mutated and deformed man who was killed by the grenade.
"On x, month x, 19xx, Qing detonated the xth nuclear bomb today. After my design, the radiation concentration was ten times stronger than before. It was very successful."
"On x day, the mood of the target of Xiaoyu's experiment showed a tendency to be irritable and violent, and most of the experimental subjects had abnormal changes. According to Dr. S's instructions, further observation is needed."
"The Qing Experiment subjects died in large numbers and valid data were obtained. The superiors were very dissatisfied and requested that all the experimental subjects be cleared and the experiment be suspended."
"The last piece of equipment has also been taken away. From today on, this base will be reduced to an ordinary military warehouse, still in reserve."
"Dr. S is missing. Soldiers were dispatched from above to search the entire base, but no trace of him was found. Many people said that he had fled abroad, but I have a hunch that he is still here, hiding in this building. "Inside 116 Base"
It was detected that you touched the evidence "broken notebook" and the case "116 Base Mystery" was opened. This case is a long-term difficult case and does not need to be solved as soon as possible. Once the case is solved, generous rewards will be given based on the degree of completion.
Xie Lun weighed the notebook in his hand. Although most of the contents were blurred, one or two facts of the year could still be inferred from between the lines.
These deformed people may be related to the mysteriously missing Dr. S.
And what does all this have to do with the Carter family
More than three hours later.
Xie Lun sat bored at the door of the base, looking up at the five armed helicopters that had belatedly arrived in the sky.
"General Ross" Xie Lun raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing the middle-aged soldier in the lead, "Why are you here?"
"Hmph, why don't you give up those losers before?" Ross, who had a mustache and was full of majesty, looked at Sherren. "We haven't seen each other for a few years. The young boy back then has already become an adult."
"That, General Ross"
Rose raised his hand and interrupted Xie Lun's words: "Okay, kid, don't get too close. Business is business. From now on, I will be responsible for everything here. You can leave now."
"I have no opinion on this, just"
"That's enough, kid, I'm doing this for James' sake, otherwise you have to stay for review."
"But"
"Nothing to worry about, take helicopter No. 27 and leave here immediately. This is an order."
"Uh okay."
Sherron originally wanted to give the notebook to Ross. Seeing the general's "vigorous and resolute action", Sherron decided to keep it for himself first.
Boarding the helicopter numbered 27, it just took off. The helicopter pilot then motioned to Sherron to put on his earphones, and there was an incoming communication call.
Xie Lun put on the earphones with some doubts. A gentle and calm man's voice came from the earphones: "Xie Lun, I am James, how are you doing now?"
Xie Lun was excited, subconsciously straightened his back, and said in a deep voice: "Ahem, Deputy Minister James, thank you for your concern. I am in good condition now and very safe."
"That's good, otherwise if Hollis gets angry, neither of us will have an easy time."
Hearty laughter came from the earphones, and Xie Lun hurriedly laughed with her.
After a while, the laughter in the earphones stopped suddenly, and the other party's tone became calm again: "But you can't go back now. I have a private matter that I need to ask you for."
Xie Lun's heart tightened and he said cautiously: "Uncle, you have an illegitimate child outside."
"" There was silence in the earphones for a moment, then he said with some hesitation, "Probably not. I've always been very careful."
"Then it'll be fine." Xie Lun breathed a sigh of relief: "Tell me, Mr. Deputy Minister, what is your mission?"
"I'm not busy. I have to tell you something in advance. This matter is not visible to the public, so you can't show up openly, let alone reveal your identity. What's more important is that this matter is not in China, but in a strange and dangerous foreign country. .”
The voice in the headset said calmly, "Consider carefully whether to accept this mission."
Xie Lun laughed strangely: "Mr. Deputy Minister, it's useless for you to say this. Even if I promise you, if something happens in the end, Hollis will not be able to spare you."
"You brat, if I didn't have anyone under my command, I wouldn't be looking for you." The always gentle and calm voice was a little angry, "Well, something happened to one of my old subordinates in Mexico, and I need you to sneak in alone. , bring him back safely."
When clues to the case are detected, the case codenamed "Last Drop of Blood" is activated. After the case is solved, corresponding rewards will be given based on the degree of completion.
Before anyone could speak in the earphones, a system notification sounded in Xie Lun's mind.
Xie Lun curled his lips and interrupted the other party: "I agree, Deputy Minister, I accept this task."
"Really" the voice in the earphones clearly didn't believe it, "You have to think clearly, the security situation in Mexico is very bad, with gangs and conflicts. Besides you, there is no other support."
"The system is already turned on, so I can still refuse."
Xie Lun muttered something in his heart, but said righteously: "As an American agent, how can you ignore death? Don't worry, Deputy Minister, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will guarantee to complete the mission."
"You brat, the more you say this, the more I feel unsure." The voice in the headset asked with some doubts, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, one hundred percent sure"
Xie Lun nodded vigorously, as if he was about to go to the battlefield as a hero.
"Okay, put all the weapons and equipment on you, and all the items that can mark your personal identity, into the black bag under the seat. Don't worry, when you come back, many of these things will be returned to you."
"Now the helicopter will take you to the next pick-up point where someone will take you over the border into Mexico. And then it's just you on your own."
