Chapter 1,194 Following the Hunter’s Footprints

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Looking at the dark tunnel entrance, Ding Liwei frowned. 『W

Standing behind him was the ace of the Second Militia Regiment, the power armor company famous throughout Shangjing City. This unit was built before the war to maintain stability after the war. However, in terms of equipment configuration, it refers to the configuration of the brigade-level combat unit of the Pan-Asian Army Infantry Regiment. Except for the fact that there is no additional support company, the entire unit is a unit. An infantry brigade used for stability maintenance.

The reason for adopting this configuration is mainly due to the analysis by experts from the Academy of Social Sciences that the war may last twenty or even forty years and continue until the end of the century. However, no one expected that in just three years, this war would exhaust the last vestige of vitality in the civilized world.

When they woke up, they faced not hungry refugees and separatists, but zombies and alien species. With their pre-war advanced weapons, they almost walked sideways in the wasteland. It was with this powered armor company that Captain Tading defeated the mutant forces in Shangjing City and contributed to the establishment of the Survivor Alliance.

The wait was long, and just when Ding Liwei began to feel impatient, a figure walked over from the dark tunnel entrance.

The moment footsteps sounded, rifles were immediately pointed at the entrance.

"it's me."

When the searchlight was turned on and he saw that face, Ding Liwei relaxed his brows and signaled to his subordinates behind him to lower their guns. Just when he was about to speak and ask this guy why he came so late, Wan Peng's embarrassed look stopped him.

"You are...what's wrong with you? Where is Su Xiang?"

"He can't come." Wan Peng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and said gloomily, "We encountered some trouble on the road."

The gray suit was in tatters, and the sleeve on his left hand was even shredded into strips of cloth, revealing the cuff of his white shirt. There were still a few scratches visible on his face. Judging from the gray look on his face, it was obvious that something bad had happened just now.

"Russian?" Ding Liwei said solemnly.

"It's that idiot named Shura who will hold the coffin board for Pan-Asian Cooperation until he dies," he said cursingly. Wan Peng spat out bloody spit and said gloomily, "But we'd better hurry up, as long as The Russians are not deaf and should have discovered that there is a problem with Line 27."

"Where's the card?"

"On my body.

"Wan Peng pointed at his chest with his finger.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Liwei looked back at his subordinates, made a ready-to-go gesture to his adjutant, and then turned back to look at Wan Peng.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

The powered armor started, and Wan Peng and Ding Liwei walked at the back of the team. Without any unnecessary nonsense, the group continued walking towards the depths of the tunnel.

The steel armor stepped on the cement road, making a clanging sound that slowly echoed in the empty tunnel.

Soon, they reached the end of the tunnel.

Ding Liwei raised his hand and everyone stopped.

Directly in front of them was a giant circular steel door.

Like a huge gear, embedded at the end of the tunnel, like a shield, guarding the last and biggest secret of pan-Asian cooperation.

This secret should have been guarded until fifty years later, and according to its logic, Pan-Asian glory could be restored in this devastated land. However, under the watchful eyes of pairs of people, the people guarding it had to untie its shackles in advance.

Two lines of large characters painted in white lie quietly on the cold steel, just like the solemn and great dogma on the statue of a god, implementing the alliance established by Asian countries during the Cold War era.

[Pan-Asian cooperation, honoring ancestors]

【Metro Line 0】

Walking forward, Wan Peng took a deep breath, restrained the complicated emotions in his heart, and took out the dark green card from his arms.

However, when his hand touched the steel door, this heroic man felt a bit of hesitation in his chest.

He turned back and looked at Ding Liwei.

"Are you ready?"

"Do we have any other options?" Ding Liwei grinned.

Wan Peng nodded.

"makes sense."

As he spoke, he pushed the card into the slot of the gear.

The ground shook uncomfortably, and dust shook from the roof of the tunnel.

Accompanied by a dull and distant loud noise, the gears slowly turned, just like the wheels of history, rolling towards an unknown and destined direction...

…

"How's it going? Can it be done?" Jiang Chen asked with some confusion as he walked to Yao Yao and squatted down next to him, looking at the string of incomprehensible characters flashing across the holographic screen.

"No problem! Leave it to Yao Yao!"

In Ding Liwei's office in the Pan-Asia Building, Yao Yao was sitting in the corner holding a tablet computer. Her slender fingers were tapping on the tablet quickly. Lines of codes and symbols that were inconsistent with her age were reflected in her clear pupils.

The moment her hands touched the tablet, her soft and cute temperament was swept away from her body. Her petite body seemed to be possessed by a programmer, and her eyes shone with a shrewdness that Jiang Chen had never seen before.

They say men who are serious are more attractive? Could this rule also apply to women?

Or is it just a cute contrast...

Just when Jiang Chen was seriously thinking about this problem out of boredom, Yao Yao pressed the last button, left his hands on the tablet and leaned against the wall. As she raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, her cute little mouth pursed into a smile of victory.

"It's done!"

"Succeeded?! So fast!"

"Humph, it's okay to be more surprised." Yao Yao puffed up his chest proudly, moved his fingers again, and gently pushed a holographic screen in front of Jiang Chen, "Security clearance is taken. The surveillance videos are all here... Huh? It's strange, why is there no elevator surveillance? Has it been demolished? "

Looking at the picture of Wan Peng walking towards the elevator on the holographic screen, a gleam flashed in Jiang Chen's eyes and the corner of his mouth curled up.

"It seems the problem lies in the elevator."

The cameras in the entire building were in operation, except for the elevator camera. Even if he killed Jiang Chen, he would not believe that there would be no ghosts in the elevator.

"I think so too... Wait, there are traces of intrusion in the security system," Yao Yao frowned slightly, "The IP and device number are unknown, and the hacking time was an hour ago. Someone entered a security system after gaining access to it. The subsystem is encrypted as 'meeting room table and chair purchase record'."

"You mean, someone invaded the Pan-Asia Building's security system an hour ago?" Jiang Chen frowned.

"Yes."

"What's the opponent's skill like?" Jiang Chen asked.

"In terms of strength, he should be on par with me." Yao Yao nodded his head solemnly and thought seriously, "But my hardware equipment should be stronger than his. After all, Lin Ling has upgraded it for me."

A little girl who looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old said that her strength was only about the same as hers. I wonder if the greyhound would kill him if he heard this.

But come to think of it, this is already more than 20 years after the end of the world. Unless you are a survivor like Yao Yao who doesn't have to worry about your livelihood, no one will be idle and bored to hone computer skills. It would be okay if they were survivors who had just released the hibernation program. For those who had lived from World War III to the present, professional knowledge had been fed to zombies for eight lifetimes.

"Regardless of who hacked into the system," Jiang Chen said solemnly, "Is there any way to track Wan Peng's whereabouts?"

"It wasn't there just now, but it is now." Yao Yao's eyes were filled with excitement as he tapped his fingers on the tablet. "If you can't find the prey's footprints, then follow the hunter's footprints. If the invasion is safe, The people in the system are going for the same purpose as us, so we only need to follow the clues he left in the security system, and we will definitely find something - we found it!"

Before he finished speaking, Yao Yao excitedly waved his fist.

Jiang Chen quickly moved closer and looked at the holographic screen.

"This is?"

"The correct way to use the elevator in the Pan-Asia Building! By pressing the specific floor search button, you can reach the non-existent negative 21st floor, leading to the emergency escape passage for important members of the Pan-Asia Cooperation..."
