Chapter 336 Zefeng Consortium!
Zhang Yan also saw it.
The Yokosuka affair wasn't completely over when the shadow of the Zefeng Group resurfaced.
Previously, the line involving Tanaka and Ito was the shell of the Japanese military and academia.
This line now represents the consortium's funds and urban nodes.
They are not the same group of people.
But they all point to ruins.
Zhang Yan quickly reordered the priorities in his mind.
The Zefeng Consortium is not simply a remnant of the past.
It likely came into contact with pollution earlier than Ito, and may have even been operating infrastructure in the replacement site long before.
Buy land with money.
Using shell companies to cover up property rights.
Use guards to maintain the underground nodes.
Then the pollution is connected to the groundwater network or other urban systems.
This is much smarter than sending monsters into the streets.
Nie Qingcheng raised her hand and highlighted all the relevant accounts of the Zefeng Consortium in red.
"I attacked it once before, but I didn't pursue it to the end."
Her voice was very flat.
"In hindsight, it was too lenient."
Zhang Yan glanced at her.
"Don't rush."
"I'm not in a hurry."
Nie Qingcheng picked up her phone and sent a few messages, "I just want them to have trouble sleeping starting tomorrow."
Zhang Yan did not stop him.
She is better at business than he is.
The fact that Zefeng Group's overt assets have been targeted may force out more hidden issues.
But the Shanghai factory cannot wait for the commercial war to slowly escalate.
I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow.
Nie Qingcheng stopped pointing.
She looked at him without saying a word.
Zhang Yan continued, "We won't take the sea route. We'll drive there and infiltrate lightly equipped. First, we'll assess the structure and determine the nature of the contaminant. If we can handle it silently, we will; otherwise, we'll evacuate it to the outskirts."
"Who should I bring?"
"Myself."
Nie Qingcheng's expression grew even colder.
Zhang Yan knew what she was going to say and spoke first: "Shanghai is close to Beijing, so once the pollution point is alerted, the reaction time is very short. Too many people can actually make things more likely to go wrong."
Where is Qin Xiao?
"He was in charge of external intelligence and containment plans."
"military?"
"Remote only."
Nie Qingcheng stared at him for a few seconds.
Zhang Yan did not back down.
This is not about showing off.
There is a Class B+ pollution source in the underground node, as well as a suspected guard.
It's pointless for ordinary people to get close.
Even the elite military forces could not solve the problem of purifying the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
Nie Qingcheng zoomed in on the factory diagram on the holographic screen.
"I need your route."
"Can."
"Alternative route".
"Can."
"Conditions for losing contact"
"Twelve hours."
Six hours.
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
"The underground environment may block signals."
"Then report it once before entering the underground area and once upon exiting. If there is no signal for more than six hours in between, I will handle it as the worst-case scenario."
Zhang Yan looked at her.
"Are you going to Shanghai?"
"I will turn Shanghai into a sieve."
Her tone was not harsh, but there was no hint of a joke in it.
Zhang Yan sighed inwardly.
This is Nie Qingcheng.
When dealing with outsiders, she doesn't ask if it's possible, but only what level of achievement is desired.
For him, she would channel all her ruthlessness into a single thread, binding him to her.
Zhang Yan nodded.
"it is good."
Nie Qingcheng then looked away.
At night, Zhang Yan wrote down the itinerary and emergency plans in a list.
Vehicle route.
Equipment list.
Mech standby plan.
Qin Xiao's communication nodes.
Military satellite scheduling time.
Contingency plan for the blockade of the outer perimeter of Shanghai.
The first rule is: Ensure Nie Qingcheng's safety.
Nie Qingcheng looked at the list for a long time.
Then she picked up a pen and circled the first line.
He didn't say anything.
Zhang Yan sat next to her without asking what she meant.
Sometimes, saying something makes it seem less important.
By circling this line, she was telling him that she had seen it and accepted it.
But if he puts himself in a more passive position, she won't accept it.
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhang Yan finished the simple repairs on the black scorpion.
The cracks in the White Tiger's outer armor will not affect combat for the time being.
The Azure Dragon Space Module is ready.
The Heart of Heaven is in a stable state.
Before setting off, Nie Qingcheng put an insulated bag in the car.
"Rice balls".
"Um."
"beef."
"Um."
"medicine chest."
"It's not needed."
Nie Qingcheng looked at him.
Zhang Yan changed his mind: "I'll take it with me."
She was finally satisfied.
Just as Zhang Yan sat in the driver's seat, a notification suddenly popped up on the system panel.
Energy output activity was detected in the underground pollutants from the Shanghai factory.
Output medium: underground water network.
Current transmission direction: Main branch of the Shanghai-Haikou groundwater system.
Zhang Yan's hands remained on the steering wheel.
Nie Qingcheng, standing outside the car, could already tell something was wrong from his expression.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yan looked ahead.
"It's not being kept as a pet."
"It's releasing poison."
The roads in the suburbs of Shanghai were even emptier than Zhang Yan had expected.
Before dawn, only a few trucks passed by outside the abandoned industrial area.
Zhang Yan parked his car on the side of an old road a kilometer away from the factory, without turning off the engine, and first glanced at the system heat map.
Grade B+
stable.
However, the conduction lines in the underground water network have changed from a single line last night to three lines.
It was faster than he had anticipated.
Zhang Yan did not get out of the car immediately.
He sent a message to Nie Qingcheng first.
"We've reached the outer perimeter."
Nie Qingcheng replied quickly.
Six hours.
Zhang Yan: "I know."
Don't skimp on equipment.
"Um."
"Don't put yourself at risk just to keep a sample."
Zhang Yan looked at this sentence and replied, "Understood."
The other side paused for a few seconds.
"I'll wait for you to come out."
Zhang Yan put his phone away, opened the door, and got out of the car.
The factory's exterior walls are still relatively intact.
There was a production halt seal on the gate, but the seal had long since lost its validity, and the lock was new.
Large areas of vegetation on the inside of the wall have died, and the soil near the drainage ditch is an abnormal black color.
Zhang Yan squatted down and used the Thousand-Machine Arm to take a soil sample.
The system quickly provided the results.
Low concentration of residual pollution.
It was not a direct leak.
It's from groundwater seeping up.
Zhang Yan's eyes turned slightly cold.
This indicates that pollution has already entered the water system, and it's not just the beginning.
He summoned three miniature reconnaissance robots, which entered the factory area through drain outlets, wall cracks, and abandoned ventilation pipes.
The footage was transmitted back quickly.
The ground floor is very clean.
It's too clean.
The abandoned factory still had all the debris and dust, but the main passageways had been cleaned.
Several infrared signals are distributed inside the factory building, and their movement routes are fixed.
Holding a gun.
The spacing remains unchanged.
Professional guard.
Zhang Yan did not rush to make a move.
The problem isn't the seven ordinary guards, but the way they're controlled.
To remain stationed near contaminated sites for extended periods without becoming corrupted, either they must have isolation equipment or they must have been screened themselves.
He didn't want to alert the enemy.
The miniature robot continued downwards.
The entrance to the basement level is hidden behind an old freight elevator.
The door is reinforced.
The lock is not for civilian use.
Zhang Yan glanced at the structure and had a general idea of what it entailed.
The Zefeng Consortium was not a temporary arrangement.
Acquired three years ago, underground renovation, long-term guarding, and continuous transmission.
