"Um, let me explain first—I'm a good guy!"
Guo Yi said defensively in the communication channel, "We're all civilized people here, so let's talk and not resort to force!
Don't be like those brutes and use fists to convince others!"
"Ha~" Hearing Guo Yi's words, Section Chief Zhou laughed out of anger. "You're a good guy?
A guy who trades dangerous goods with K2 and extracts nuclear materials right in his own residence—and you're telling me you're a good guy?"
Just as Section Chief Zhou and Guo Yi were talking, a guard quickly approached.
He Zhijun used sign language to brief him: order the relevant assault personnel to continue the attack.
"Hey, I need to do experiments, and they don't sell this stuff domestically, so I just went to them."
Guo Yi continued in a pitiful tone, "K2 has the best reputation, right? So I bought from them...
Making an experiment and buying some experimental materials—that's not too serious, is it?
You even brought the entire Cat Head and Dog Head out here...
Did I tear a hole in the sky or something?"
He Zhijun and Section Chief Zhou exchanged a glance, inwardly shocked.
Judging by what he said, Guo Yi actually seemed to know about these two special operations teams!
And judging from his remarks, he knew quite a bit about both special operations teams!
"You know about Dog Head and Cat Head?" Section Chief Zhou asked with a solemn expression. "How do you know?"
Guo Yi froze, belatedly realizing he had slipped up. He stammered in explanation, "Uh, well, you know, I just happened to see it while casually browsing the internet..."
"It looks like you've got quite a few charges against you!" Catching Guo Yi's guilty conscience, Section Chief Zhou intentionally exaggerated the charges and barked angrily, "Trading with K2, plus stealing classified information.
You've probably sold some, too..."
"I didn't, I haven't, don't talk nonsense!"
Guo Yi hastily issued a triple denial, explaining in a panic, "I've definitely never sold anything to anyone else—no wait, I don't know anything about any Dog Heads or Cat Heads!"
"Is that so? Then let's continue chatting about your web browsing..."
As the conversation expanded and deepened, the overall content and rhythm gradually fell under Section Chief Zhou's control.
And the more Guo Yi talked, the more he said; the more he said, the more comprehensive his information became, allowing Section Chief Zhou to take even firmer control of the conversation between them.
Just as Section Chief Zhou and Guo Yi were chatting and heart-to-hearting, the previous guard quietly crept back to where the assault team was stationed and made a series of hand gestures.
However, what this guard did not know was that the sign language he was performing was being displayed in text right in front of Guo Yi.
Therefore, when Guo Yi saw those people preparing to resume their attack, he shuddered all over.
He immediately cut off the dialogue with Section Chief Zhou and hurriedly asked, "Wait, why are you guys still coming!
Why don't you try hitting the wall with armor-piercing shells and see what happens?
Don't waste your energy, okay? Constantly getting attack warning reports is so annoying..."
"Can you see us?"
He Zhijun narrowed his eyes and scanned the corners and edges of the factory building.
He didn't see any surveillance equipment at all!
"...Aren't you stating the obvious? Otherwise, how would I know you had someone come over to do sign language!"
"Back to the point." Section Chief Zhou exchanged a glance with He Zhijun, signaling him to pull his men back for now.
Anyway, through the previous conversation, Section Chief Zhou was certain that Guo Yi's personality was simply that of a tech geek who had never taken a beating from society.
As for some of the potential technologies Guo Yi had exposed during their chat...
He was just an ordinary Special Operations Department section chief, not a scientist, and who the hell knew what things like zero-gravity mobile fighters, next-generation unlimited nuclear-driven assault module complexes, variable phase-shift armor, phase-shift armor, and beam restrainers were...
The only thing he could barely understand was the full-coverage exoskeleton mobile armor.
Yet no company or research institute in the entire world had a finished product of this thing!
And this individual managed to build one?
Did common sense just get swallowed?
As for the rest, he would just record it first and submit it to the corresponding scientific researchers later.
As for Guo Yi, based on what he had inadvertently revealed, there were no other underground passages.
So they could just surround the place for now and talk later.
At worst, they still had backup options like reconnaissance satellites and helicopters cruising the outer perimeter.
At the same time, through the conversation, Section Chief Zhou had also figured out one of Guo Yi's identities as a hacker.
A legend in the hacking world, the immensely famous mysterious hacker—"Poison King"!
A man who had only made a move once, yet earned a universally recognized title.
That single move was very simple: he had plundered the funds of drug lords worldwide!
All the deposits drug lords stored in banks vanished into thin air, destination unknown...
Many people guessed that he was already dead.
After all, he had only made a move once and then gone completely silent.
As it turned out, they never expected to run into the real deal right here...
Provided that what Guo Yi said was true!
"So, everything you made was just because you wanted to do experiments and build products?"
"Well, obviously."
Guo Yi cradled Doggie and replied offhandedly.
Having chatted for so long, he also knew that the more he spoke, the more things he exposed.
But he didn't care; these things would come to light sooner or later anyway.
As for whether he would leak secrets to these people...
Did they really think confidentiality regulations were a joke?
Not to mention that, according to his projections, once this matter passed,
he would be set for life without a single worry about food or clothing!
He would live a noble life where food was brought to his mouth and clothes were handed to him.
"Then according to what you say, why didn't you make money by doing business on your own, or find a special channel to enter the corresponding scientific research departments, and so on?"
Section Chief Zhou sneered, "As long as you truly have the ability, you could enter a special research institute through a special recruitment.
Then you wouldn't have to sneak around doing experiments by yourself and trading with K2.
Aren't these methods better?"
"I have no interest in doing business, and big brother, I'm just an ordinary, unassuming kid—who's going to listen to me?
I have no background, no capital, and no connections.
Should I waste all my time on connections and backstabbing intrigue? Do I have that much spare time?"
At this mention, Guo Yi complained to Section Chief Zhou with extreme annoyance, "A ten-year-old brat walks up to you and says he wants to conduct the strictest military testing.
Would you agree, or would you just ignore him outright?
Not to mention anything else, even if I could get in, by the time I was able to lead an experimental project, how much time would have been wasted..."
"So you just did it yourself?
Aren't you afraid of bringing trouble upon yourself?"
"Hehehe~"
Section Chief Zhou's retorts clearly struck Guo Yi's sweet spot, making him chuckle merrily. "Don't you think it's interesting?
Look, all of you surrounding me, wanting to catch me, yet you can't even get through the door!
Look at how happy I am doing this on my own!
Except that the progress is a bit slow...
Besides, if it weren't for those blunderers at K2 causing you to intercept the supplies I smuggled, you probably wouldn't even have known I existed!"
"..."
Guo Yi's words echoed in the communication channel.
Section Chief Zhou, He Zhijun, and the other commanders turned instantly dark-faced, while the members of the special assault team were itching with anger.
This was practically pointing right at their noses and calling them good-for-nothings!
"Report! Big-tailed Wolf requests permission to use the PF98 120mm anti-tank rocket launcher!"
Ostrich Deng Zhenhua roared even louder in the communication channel.
However, Guo Yi remained completely indifferent to this. "Feel free to try! Behind the E-carbon steel, there's another layer of phase-shift armor!
If you can break through me, I'll count it as your win!"
"Approved!"
Suppressing his anger, He Zhijun loudly ordered all members of the assault team, "Fall back, list all available weapons, and make sure you breach this factory building!"
"Um... hold on, don't get excited, just kidding! Just kidding!"
Even though Guo Yi hadn't witnessed He Zhijun's stern expression firsthand and only heard it through the communication channel, he still shuddered instinctively.
"What you've said will be submitted to the relevant personnel for verification."
Noticing He Zhijun's slightly flushed face from anger, Section Chief Zhou silently shot him an amused glance before saying to Guo Yi, "As for the attack, you guys can sort it out yourselves.
However, you must give me proof—how do we prove that you're still inside and won't escape?"
"That's easy!"
