Chapter 968 Dr. Hoffer’s Diary

"Captured a new signal... It's the backup command system! Located in the G15 barracks in the West District... No, no, that's a false target. The signal that replaced Odin only appeared for a moment and then went silent again... But after my calculation , it should be at this location!" Qin's voice rang, and at the same time, he also passed over a flat map of the first floor of the Yukon Fort base.

The coordinate point where this new signal is located happens to be underground of the bar called "Milt at the Bottom of the Yukon River"!

"Ella, adjust the coordinates immediately, don't give the other party time to react!"

"The target has been locked! The clone's spiritual power is being absorbed... ready... launched!"

Another shot was fired, and a second large hole appeared in the dome of the cloning factory that led directly to the ground, and the new command signal also completely disappeared.

"Well done! According to the footage captured by the surveillance cameras, the base garrison dispatch on the surface has fallen into chaos. A few places are even killing each other. The command messages of the lower-level troops are chaotic and appear among themselves. There were a lot of conflicts, so it can be seen that the mastermind and Xia Liu's agents in the base should have been eliminated by us!" Qin Fei said quickly, and there was even a hint of excitement in his tone that was extremely rare in ordinary times.

"What's going on with the mastermind and Xia? Is there any news?" Qi Lin asked hurriedly.

"The mastermind doesn't know, but Xia and his elite troops are crossing the Bering Strait and planning to land directly in Alaska! We have up to eight hours left!"

"Eight hours... is enough to turn the Yukon Fort base into our possession!" Just when Qi Lin was thinking about how to instigate the soldiers who had no one to command them, Sophia suddenly walked up to him. In front of Ella, he said with a serious face: "I think... I know what the string of numbers my father left me is."

"What is it?" Qi Lin and Ella's attention was instantly attracted by Sophia's words, and they both focused on Sophia at the same time.

"It's the password to his safe. There must be something in that safe that my father wants me to see," Sophia said.

"Where is his safe? Are you sure that the safe has not been opened by those agents?"

"The safe is in the central laboratory... The safe is cast together with an entire metal wall. It is difficult to break even with violence. The safe also has a self-destruction device. If it is detected Violent demolition will immediately destroy everything inside."

"What about the password? Can this password be deciphered?"

"Without the help of the main control brain, it is absolutely impossible to crack the password of the safe in a short time just by relying on the terminal with weak manpower and computing power - the workload of cracking is compared to the mental power of collecting clones. It's not much smaller than that." Sophia said, "My dad... he still wanted to pass this information to me in that situation, which means there must be something very important in the safe..."

"Okay, let's do this. We divide our forces into two groups. Ella, you cooperate with Qin to invade the base's radio station and find a way to tell the base about the 'Sword of Damocles' through radio or any other available means." Everyone in the room tried their best to win over the soldier to our side, while Sophia and I went to the central laboratory to open the safe left by Dr. Hoffer. As for Ayaka, she went with Ella Stay here, if there are still 'agents' lurking in the base, you will be responsible for sniping!"

"Is just the two of you enough? The central laboratory must be heavily guarded now. Do you want to order more people?" Ella said with some worry.

"It's enough. There are few people and the target is small. Besides, the situation is not yet completely under our control. We may still be attacked here. It's unclear whether this small number of troops can defend the cloning factory that has lost its gate."

"Well, good luck to you."

"Good luck to you too."

Ella and Sophia hugged each other vigorously, while Qi Lin picked up a handbag filled with guns and ammunition and then carried two rocket launchers behind his back.

…

…

The central laboratory is located at the bottom of the spiral corridor, covering an area of ​​almost a hundred times that of ordinary laboratories. In addition to conducting some important experiments, the central laboratory also contains an area of ​​more than 500 square meters. m living area, and Dr. Hofer and Sophia live in this living area on weekdays.

The two of them walked down the spiral corridor. Due to the chaos of the command system, they did not encounter large-scale interceptions on the way. There were only a few stragglers wandering in the corridor. Almost all of these scattered soldiers who had lost contact with their superiors were Qi Lin killed him in just one encounter.

"By the way, do you know what is in your father's safe?" Qi Lin turned around and asked Sophia who was following him while changing the magazine of the submachine gun in his hand.

"Some belongings and personal belongings, a small number of experimental samples that can be stored at room temperature... By the way, there is also my father's diary! He has the habit of keeping a diary, and his diary is also in the safe."

"It seems that other things are of little value. The thing he wants you to see is probably his diary." Qi Lin nodded, raised his submachine gun with one hand and fired a burst, knocking down the person blocking the center. There were three "black-eyed" soldiers at the entrance of the laboratory, and Sophia quickly stepped forward and entered her iris password and fingerprint password. Finally, she gently swiped the magnetic card into the card slot——

The central laboratory can be said to be a mess, with traces of destruction everywhere. The corpses of the "Black Eye" troop soldiers were scattered on the ground. Basically, no external injuries were visible on the surfaces of these corpses. There was a small amount of black congestion overflowing from the seven orifices.

Obviously, these soldiers were killed by Qin using his mental power. He had been imprisoned in the central laboratory before. After being awakened by Cooper, Qin killed him all the way out until he arrived. The location of the mastermind replica located on the fourteenth floor underground.

After Qin left, the "Black Eyes" troops once again occupied the laboratory and took Dr. Huo Fu who was hiding inside as a hostage. However, time was tight and they did not carefully clean up the central experiment. He just smashed open all the computer mainframes in the laboratory and took away the storage equipment.

As for the living area in the back, it looked like a house that had been ransacked. Even the big bed in the master bedroom had been split open, and all the mahogany floors on the ground had been pried open.

It's just that the safe built into the wall is still intact - the soldiers who turned the entire central laboratory upside down were obviously informed that there was a self-destruction device in the safe, so they did not use violence. Use any means to open the safe.

"Are you sure that the number is the password? If you enter it wrong, I'm afraid the contents inside will be destroyed, right?"

"I'm sure... that string of numbers must be... it can only be the password for this safe. Since my father and I moved to this base, except for the parts that were destroyed and discarded, all of his personal belongings are left. Put it all in here." After Sophia finished speaking, she took a deep breath and entered the string of numbers into the safe one by one.

Along with the sound of mechanical gears turning, the door of the safe made a soft sound.

"The lock is unlocked." Sophia said, pulling the ring and opening the cabinet door.

There were not many things in the safe, only a finely crafted M1911 pistol and a few rounds of 0.45-inch caliber pistol bullets, a few photos and IDs, a dozen gold bars as thick as a finger, and a book with a very worn leather cover. diary.

Sophia took out the diary from the safe, but before she could open it, something inside the diary had slipped out. Fortunately, Qi Lin had quick eyes and quick hands and reached out to catch it. thing.

This is a palm-sized disc. On the back of the disc, there is a date written on it.

This date is exactly four months from now, one month earlier than Ella discovered the "Sword of Damocles".

"Turn the diary to this page." Qi Lin told Sophia the date on the CD, and Sophia quickly found the corresponding diary.

There is also a circular indentation on this page. Obviously, this CD was originally sandwiched on this page.

"On XX, XX, XX, the weather was cloudy, with a maximum temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a minimum temperature of -12 degrees Celsius.

The construction of the cloning factory is nearing completion, and six large cloning pools have been debugged. In the subsequent experimental process, as long as this detailed genetic data is available, clones for in vivo experiments can be obtained continuously... Although compared with real humans, many data of clones will be different, but they also have advantages that natural human samples do not have...

Engineer Justin showed me the revised construction drawings, and we discussed some details that needed to be modified for the completion of the main body of the factory. However, I discovered a problem. The space occupied by the clone factory was significantly different from the reserved space in the original design plan. In other words, a large part of the space that should belong to the cloning factory was used for other purposes without the institute's knowledge.

Based on the design drawings, it is speculated that the part of the space used for other purposes is located directly above the cloning factory.

After lunch, I made an excuse to leave the institute and sneaked into the place along a construction passage that was not blocked in time.

The permission level of the password lock here is 'forbidden zone', and no one in the entire Fort Yukon base has permission to enter it. However, fortunately, it has not been completely completed here, and there are still quite a few loopholes in the security system, so I was able to trick it. Established permission verification system.

There is a satellite that is about to be completed here. It is an improved version of the Longinus class. This is an attack satellite that can carry strategic weapons. However, I did not see the weapons that this satellite will carry. .

I'm very confused. The war is over. It won't take long for all mankind to enter the 'utopia world' built by the master brain... and none of the mutated creatures on the surface of the earth can threaten the master brain and 'utopia'. In the existence of the world, why does the mastermind spend so many resources to build such an attack satellite?

Who is the target of this satellite? Or is it just used as a strategic reserve? And what weapons will it carry?

Not just doubts, I also have an ominous premonition... Perhaps, I should apply to the mastermind to transfer my consciousness to the utopian world after the first phase of monitoring activities is over...

Maybe this is all my random thoughts, but I don’t know why, but those idioms I learned while studying in China always pop up in my mind...

‘The bird is gone and the bow is hidden’, ‘the rabbit is killed and the dog is cooked’… and ‘the donkey is killed by the grinding mill’.

The Mastermind has not made any clear arrangements for those of us who are left behind as monitors. I don’t know how many more years we will have to work for the Mastermind... I always think of all the extremely terrible things. I dare not think about it in detail, or even dare to think about it. Write these things down here…

However, just in case, I copied the control program and key of the Longinus-class satellite... If the worst thing I imagined really happened, I could at least save myself and Fighting for the last chance of survival for my daughter.

But I hope that never happens.

It's better not to tell Sophia about this... Maybe, all this is just that I'm overthinking.

I hope so. "

This diary ends here, and the handwriting at the end looks a bit messy. It is obvious that Dr. Hofer's inner emotions were in an extremely complicated state when he wrote these things. At that time, he might He had already noticed some clues, but due to insufficient evidence, he would rather attribute these to his own paranoia.

"No wonder...no wonder after Ella and I passed on the information about the 'Sword of Damocles', my father immediately believed it. It turns out...he discovered the existence of the satellite factory earlier than Ella!" Sophia pressed. She clutched the diary tightly and closed her eyes forcefully. A tear was squeezed out from the corner of her eye and slid down her face to her chin.

Qi Lin, on the other hand, was staring at the CD in his hand - if what Dr. Huofu wrote in his diary was true, then the content in this CD would naturally be the one carrying the "Damocles" The control program and key for the Longinus-class satellite of "The Sword of Si"!

How does that sentence come to be - "You can't find a place without wearing iron shoes, but it takes no effort to get there!"

Although Dr. Hofer paid a huge price to get this disc into Sophia's hands, his original "careless" move directly put a card that could affect the final outcome into their hands. In hand!

[PS: The new book "Ashes of the Old World" has been postponed for the time being. If it is a double book, the plots of the two books are often mixed up, which affects efficiency. I decided to finish "Wasteland Survival Code" as soon as possible, and then write the new book. . As for the specific completion time, it should be this week. 】
