047: Question and Answer; The Search

The scorching sun blazed overhead, and the yellow sand howled past.

Desolate and silent as if all life had been extinguished.

In the desert, on a pickup truck, there was an iron frame in the cargo bed.

A person, naked and bound in a cross shape to an iron frame, was exposed to the elements.

"Mmm~~"

Hitachi's eyes slowly opened, and he regained consciousness on the frame.

"You're awake?"

Black Cat, wearing sunglasses, sat on a waterbed with a mini-fridge beside him.

He stood up upon hearing Hitachi's groan.

"Crackle~"

With a smile, he opened a bottle of soda right in front of Hitachi's face.

"Gulp~ Ah~"

Black Cat took a big gulp of the iced soda and let out a comfortable groan, "So refreshing."

Hitachi finally came to his senses, silently assessing his current position before giving up on struggling. He asked Black Cat with a grave expression, "Who are you people?"

"No, no, no, it's not time for us to talk yet."

Black Cat waved his fingers, not answering Hitachi's question, and sat back down on the waterbed. "People from the Rabbit family, I get it!

So, let's not chat for now. Later~ we'll talk later~"

!!!

Hitachi's eyes widened in shock at Black Cat's words: Rabbit language!

Black Cat had just spoken Rabbit language, not Bird language!

He was from the Rabbit family?

"You're from the Rabbit family?

Speak!

You bastard!"

Hitachi yelled at Black Cat.

Black Cat picked up a hat, covered his face with it, and lay down on the waterbed. "Save your strength and your saliva. It's only morning, and evening is still a long way off!"

"You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, let me go, and I'll teach you how to be a man!

You mongrel, let me go...

!@# !@%#……!#@￥#%…………￥"

"..."

No matter how Hitachi shouted and cursed, Black Cat simply lay quietly on the waterbed, remaining silent.

One hour;

Two hours;

By evening, Hitachi, who had been baked by the scorching sun all day, had his back emitting a roasted meat aroma. He hung limply on the frame, completely drained of energy.

Black Cat, however, had disappeared before noon.

The only living thing accompanying Hitachi was the desert vultures constantly circling overhead.

"Boom~"

In his daze, Hitachi heard the roar of an approaching vehicle.

Black Cat sat in a desert off-road vehicle and chuckled as he looked at Hitachi, who was dehydrated and disoriented.

Then, Black Cat walked to the cargo bed, cupped Hitachi's face in his hand, and lifted it, facing him with a smile. "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. We still have time."

Hitachi's eyes were vacant as he weakly uttered to Black Cat, "I~ f**k~ your~ an~"

"Bang~"

Black Cat's face remained smiling, as if unaffected by Hitachi's words.

However, before Hitachi could finish speaking, he delivered a heavy punch to his abdomen.

"Don't let him die!

And don't let him fall asleep!"

Black Cat, having jumped down from the cargo bed, said calmly to the people around him.

Immediately, someone got into the cargo bed and roughly injected Hitachi with a glucose solution.

Then, they gave Hitachi a few mouthfuls of saltwater and woke him up.

Afterward, the people around them set up tents nearby.

Clearly, this group of people intended to sleep here tonight.

And Hitachi was still hanging on the rack.

At the same time, inside the factory.

He Zhijun and Gao Linlin led Elder Zhou and others, their faces grim, as they strode into Guo Yi's room.

Following that, he roughly shook Guo Yi awake: "Something's happened!"

"What happened?

Can't even let a person sleep properly, did the sky fall?"

Guo Yi asked, yawning and looking displeased.

"The technical personnel supporting the Dog Tycoon have gone missing!"

!!!

Guo Yi stopped, shivered, and woke up completely: "No way, aren't they afraid of the border issues?

They actually dare to play this kind of trick!"

"Do you have any way to find them?"

He Zhijun paced, shouting impatiently at Guo Yi.

"Let's go, to the doghouse."

Guo Yi, not even wearing clothes, directly led everyone to the information hub level: "What exactly is the situation?"

"Last night, a group of people entered the hotel where the Dog Tycoon's troops were staying, killed a few people, and disappeared with Hitachi..."

"Why are you only telling me now?"

Guo Yi stopped walking and said unhappily, frowning: "Time is money, why are you only telling me now?"

"We also didn't expect the Dog Tycoon to be so useless!"

He Zhijun said hatefully: "And they only notified us at noon, and then we started looking for clues.

It's just that I couldn't wait, so I came to ask you."

"Let's go."

Guo Yi's face darkened, understanding their meaning: he was just a researcher, and the fighting had nothing to do with him.

If He Zhijun hadn't been impatient and wanted to ask him if he had a solution, Guo Yi probably wouldn't have known what happened until after the rescue.

"Do you have any way?"

At the central hub, He Zhijun watched Guo Yi calmly tapping away at the Doggy control console, asking with slight impatience.

It wasn't that he was anxious, because Hitachi was indeed someone from the factory.

However, he wasn't a permanent resident here, but a student secretly sent through special means.

He didn't know where this place was, nor what it was for.

He arrived at a small workshop in the factory in a daze, then stayed indoors, quietly studying exoskeleton-related knowledge with some people in a small workshop, and finally was sent away in a daze.

As for why Hitachi came here, one could only say: there are always some idiots in the world.

His ignorant words caused some people to pay a heavy price for them!

For this reason, the biggest elder in the family directly slammed the table and discreetly eliminated a group of idiots.

Well, from body to soul, letting these idiots return to nature.

However, these matters could only be treated as lessons now, and they were irrelevant to them.

The most crucial thing now was Hitachi. If he were interrogated and revealed anything, no matter how much...

It would be best to prepare the Neutron Jammer in advance...

"Snap~"

The sound of Guo Yi hitting the console snapped everyone out of their thoughts, and then, everyone vaguely felt the entire floor begin to hum slightly.

Subsequently, the lights in the entire factory dimmed, and orange lights turned on.

At the same time, everyone received a message: the factory had activated energy-saving mode, all personnel were to stop working and return to their dormitories to await further notice.

Following that, He Zhijun and the others saw countless short surveillance video clips projected before them, flashing by.

And countless heads began to flash.

"What is this?"

"I just created a human recognition program for Doggy, and then manually allowed Doggy to use the backdoor I preset to hack into the Dog Tycoon's surveillance videos.

In addition, I hacked into all satellites that passed by the Dog Tycoon from yesterday to today, and then locked onto Hitachi through comparison, thereby locking onto his current location and who made the move."

Everyone nodded and said nothing more.

After all, the most important thing now was to find Hitachi, and they didn't care what methods Guo Yi used, or whether they were legal and compliant.

Moreover, they didn't believe Guo Yi could be exposed so easily through the internet.

After a long while, the avatars stopped rotating, and all the projected surveillance footage disappeared.

Then, a blurry image appeared before everyone.

A man was tied up in a desert, with several tents and vehicles in the distance.

"Hiss~"

Guo Yi looked at the avatars and couldn't help but gasp. Then, he said to everyone with a hint of nervousness, "K2...

They're K2!"

"The International Terrorist Organization - K2!"
