Lu Xin listened and looked at Gecko calmly. Gecko's face became solemn, and he became busy and honest again.
"It's not as simple as looking at the distance."
He explained honestly, "Whether it is the black market here or the gathering place for homeless people, I have a mixture of respect and hatred for us High Wall City people. The thing I respect is that they now depend more or less on us High Wall City for their lives. A lot of food, daily necessities, and even alcoholic beverages come from us High Wall City. And when it comes to weapons, they are far inferior to us."
"But the reason for hatred lies in a natural conflict of interest, or simply because they can't stand it. After all, in recent years, many of the people they gathered have been attracted to us High Wall City. It is also because of High Wall City's orders that they are usually subject to some restrictions no matter whether they are robbing or doing anything. They are probably all filled with anger."
"Normally, on the surface, they will obey High Wall City's orders and cooperate with our work, but at some special times, it is very common for people or convoys from High Wall City to appear in these places and be killed quietly by them..."
"..."
While talking, Gecko tapped the map lightly and said, "There are only two of us, and there are a lot of things in the car."
"In their eyes, he is probably the most suitable fat sheep..."
"..."
Lu Xin nodded and said, "Then if we go in, will it be dangerous?"
Gecko glanced at Lu Xin and muttered, "It sounds like you are a little worried, but looking at you like this, it doesn't sound like you are worried..."
He let out a long sigh and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the words Qinggang are still somewhat intimidating."
As he spoke, he got out of the car again, looked at the surrounding environment, and said, "However, to be on the safe side, I still report it."
"This way, even if something happens to us here, at least someone will come and look for us."
"..."
As he spoke, he opened the trunk with ease and took out a sturdy iron box, which contained a small signal receiver. After setting up the line, he made a call and reported the specific location.
"The two missing agents have been found. Please report to the superiors. They have died."
"It is suspected that members of the Knights have entered Blackwater Town."
"We are now ready to enter Blackwater Town for investigation."
"After three hours, report again. If there is no signal, something happened."
"..."
After the report, he packed up his things, quickly got in the car, and drove quickly along the current road.
"The latest progress notice is that the special operations team has found two missing agents and has initially locked the location of the Knights."
"They have entered Blackwater Town for investigation!"
"..."
Even Lu Xin didn't know that when Gecko's report was conveyed to Qinggang City, an emergency meeting was immediately held.
In other words, this meeting has been waiting for the news of Gecko to come back.
"..."
"He is indeed investigating this matter seriously..."
In the large conference room, beside the long oval table, bald professors and professional intelligence personnel sat.
Usually such a lineup will only appear when facing a war.
After hearing the news, many people subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"But, they have only been out for less than a day..."
A strange voice rang out. It was a fat researcher wearing a wig. He lifted up his wig and scratched his head. His expression was indescribably weird. "With almost no intelligence support, in the middle of nowhere, we found the bodies of two 'missing' agents thousands of miles away, and also initially locked the location of the Knights. This..."
"This doesn't make sense at all, does it?"
"..."
The expressions on the faces of several other professors were similar to his when they heard these words.
It's clear that as researchers, they don't appreciate something that's completely beyond their understanding.
Subconsciously, many eyes looked towards Professor Bai at the front of the conference table.
Behind him, there are two electronic display screens. The ones on them are Mr. Su and Minister Shen. They are also very concerned about the progress here.
"Mental Mutant's ability does seem mysterious sometimes, but it is not without logic!"
Professor Bai also looked down at the latest report and said slowly, "You can try to understand how he did it."
Everyone in the conference room frowned.
A researcher with messy hair and a very goddess-like temperament sighed, "It is useless to study these..."
"Maybe his ability is directly targeted?"
"..."
"Haha!"
Professor Bai smiled, not wanting to pay attention to her, and said to everyone, "In other words, try to think about it, how can he do it?"
Several professors and researchers discussed in low voices for a while.
At this time, Professor Chen, who was wearing glasses and with a hairline that had reached the back of his head, raised the pen in his hand and said, "If we rule out the possibility that he is omniscient and omnipotent, can know the location of the Knights by just using his brain, or has placed a tracker on the Knights, then there is only one explanation for why he was able to find the location of the Knights so quickly..."
At this point, he seemed to feel guilty. He paused and said, "It may not be that rigorous, but at least it's logical."
Professor Bai smiled and said, "Old Chen, we all know what's going on, just tell us."
Professor Chen nodded, stood up, marked the location of Blackwater Town on the tablet map behind him, and said, "Blackwater Town is at least more than seven hundred kilometers away from Qinggang City, and they arrived at this place in one day, which can only mean..."
The writing pen in his hand stretched, drew a long straight line, and said, "He will go here as soon as he starts."
Several professors looked at him seriously.
The fat man in the wig said, "Why did he go there?"
"Two possibilities!"
Professor Chen said, "One is that he knew the other party was there, the other is that he guessed where they were."
"Guess?"
There was a faint commotion in the conference room.
"Yes, I just guessed it."
Professor Chen emphasized his tone, stretched out his hand and drew a few circles on the map, and said, "You can imagine that after those knights escaped Satellite City No. 2, except for the half hour that the Beginning stayed, they must have been eager to escape. But in the wilderness, their supplies are a big problem. If they want to travel a long distance, their food, water, and gasoline are all big problems."
"So, as a serious knight order, I think they must need a suitable supply point. They will definitely not go to a supply point that is too close to Qinggang, because there are many of our people there. If it is too far, they will not be able to hold on..."
As he spoke, he circled several surrounding gathering points. "So, these are the only places that fit them."
"And our the Beginning investigation has confirmed that they fled to the south..."
"Then, at the south location of Qinggang City, the only one that meets this condition is Blackwater Town."
"..."
Professor Chen's words caused a moment of silence in the conference room.
Professor Bai, who was sitting at the top, nodded with a smile.
"I have questions..."
A female researcher in a white coat said, "There are many places that can supply them with gasoline, food, and water sources, but they may not necessarily choose this place. If it is for reasons of concealment or safety, some small gathering points are more suitable for them to choose."
"But these are not the only things they need to add."
Professor Chen replied softly, holding his hands on the conference table, and said, "Among them, there is a Puppet-type ability user. This is a power system that has been studied thoroughly. We all know that the first stage Puppet-type ability user can control ten mentally modified people. And Puppet-type ability user is not very strong without a mentally modified person around him."
"Since they want to escape, they must be prepared to deal with the enemies chasing them."
"So, this Puppet-type ability user should be eager to replenish the number of mentally transformed people around him."
"Judging from the previous investigation of Satellite City No. 2, when ambushing Colonel Chen and the individual soldiers, six spiritually modified people were destroyed, and three were found when cleaning the battlefield under the south wall of Satellite City No. 2. So we have reason to suspect that the Puppet-type ability user has nearly exhausted the number of spiritually modified people around him. Even with our two agents, the number is far from enough."
"So, in addition to food, water, and gasoline, the supply point they choose must also meet one condition."
Having said this, he paused slightly and said, "Labor Market!"
He emphasized the syllables of these four words, and then said:
"The only place where supplies can be found is Blackwater Town, which can meet their conditions!"
"..."
The conference room started to get quiet.
"That's my guess..."
Professor Chen, on the other hand, emphasized his tone and said slowly, "The individual soldiers have all the information about the Knights, as well as the most detailed surrounding military maps. And when they first left the city, they had already obtained the information from the investigation team about the members of the Knights escaping to the south in the abandoned city ten kilometers away."
"If it was at that time, he conducted a quick summary analysis and finally speculated that the Knights might have fled to Blackwater Town for supplies, so he and Gecko rushed there as quickly as possible, and found our two missing agents on the roadside not far from Blackwater Town. If there is evidence..."
He paused for a moment, tapped the table, and said, "Then everything will be explained."
For a moment, there was silence in the conference room.
"Very good."
After a while, Professor Bai at the head of the conference table nodded slightly and said, "We can analyze it from this perspective first."
In the conference room, many people nodded silently.
Even in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out it can still be explained..."
Only the Goddess occult research expert rubbed his face helplessly and said, "I still insist that he was directly located..."
Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, no one paid attention to her, and began to analyze and record.
"In addition..."
When the conference room finally began to fall into a busy silence, a girl in military uniform raised her hand gently:
"What arrangements should we make for their investigation into Blackwater Town?"
"..."
Listening to this, Professor Bai did not answer, but turned to look at Minister Shen on the screen.
"Monitor the entire process!"
Even on the screen, Minister Shen can make people feel a cold majesty, and the voice comes out indifferently. "Special Task Force immediately rushed to the outside of Blackwater Town and was on standby ten miles away. As soon as there is a distress signal, attack me immediately..."
As he said that, he seemed to still be a little confused and continued, "When necessary, you can use ultra-long-range plasma weapons!"
"Just bulldoze it for me!"
It's going to be released soon. I'm so nervous. I finished typing yesterday and lay paralyzed on the bed for a long time.
