Chapter 293 Tail

"Drip!"

In the "office area" of Han Zu's underground base, when he was talking to Gloria about "onboarding matters", an alarm sounded on his personal terminal that he had casually placed on the table next to him.

"And for the company, you now need... huh?"

"what happened?"

The sound of the alarm interrupted their conversation. Han Zu picked up his personal terminal, first turned off the alarm, and then turned on the surveillance screen.

These surveillance images come from various micro surveillance devices that Han Zu secretly installed in the old house, throughout the village, and even in all areas occupied by the village's farmland. They are made of a kind of mimicry metal that can be adjusted remotely, which was also seized by Han Zu during the cleansing incident. They can disguise themselves as various things, such as stones, sand, wood chips, and even ants, making it difficult to find them.

As for why Han Zu set up so many surveillance screens, it was of course to monitor every move of the surrounding environment of the secret base. For some reason, Han Zu's perception ability is not so useful now, and the weakness of the perception ability is also obvious, that is, there is no way to see the accurate picture, which makes Han Zu miss the original bee colony.

"Looks like you have some 'tails'."

"Coming for me? Could it be someone from the board of directors?"

"It doesn't look like that. I've seen the methods used by the board of directors before. These people don't seem to have anything to do with them, at least that's the case for now."

Gloria also came over and looked at the surveillance screen on her personal terminal. The surveillance screen currently displayed in the center of the screen showed a dirt road at the edge of the village, which was connected to the highway. The camouflaged metal equipment set up by Han Zu here was disguised as a branch of a tree beside the dirt road.

Through the images transmitted back, Gloria observed that there was a convoy of five large black SUVs parked at the intersection of the highway and the dirt road. About thirty people got off the cars. They were dressed differently and carried travel backpacks. They looked like ordinary backpackers.

"Scanning in progress...Scan completed, internal items detected, various weapons and ammunition, various equipment..."

"You got these things through normal channels... What am I talking about? How could these things be obtained through normal channels?"

Looking at the scan data uploaded by the personal terminal, which was able to accurately scan the weapons carried by these people, Gloria became even more curious about Han Zu's identity.

"Detecting the identity data of the scanning person...Detection failed, no corresponding information was found in the database."

"Comparing similar information...Comparison successful, number of entries: 1"

Various devices scattered around the village quickly scanned the identities of these people. The result did not surprise Han Zu. Of course, nothing was found, but the sudden appearance of similar information made Han Zu feel a little surprised.

"Analyzing the source of the entry... Analysis successful, the source is similar to the signal from the visitor's device."

"Tourist? Me?"

Han Zu looked at Gloria and immediately thought of the ring on Gloria's hand.

"What is this thing?"

"This was originally a nanomechanical group in my body. You mean, those people outside came here because of this? But I have erased the original signal on it. How did they find this place?"

"When you were still in City C, the device you used to connect to the information database was this nanomachine group, right?"

"Yes, you mean, they discovered me at that time?"

"Whether they discovered who you are, it's hard to say, but they definitely discovered the signal from the device."

"The guys on the board are really patient. They were able to catch up..."

“This is not someone from the board.”

"Why do you say that? Did you find anything wrong?"

Han Zu was right, these guys were indeed not from the board of directors, because if they were, they would find that the signals of the communication equipment on their bodies had been modified. All the messages they sent, not only could not be sent to the outside world, but would also be sent directly to Han Zu's equipment. This kind of equipment for tampering and intercepting signals was actually obtained by Han Zu in the board of directors' facilities. As for how he got it, that was not important.

"The team has arrived at the location where the signal disappeared and is conducting a search. No potential threats have been found."

Soon, Han Zu's equipment intercepted the information sent by the team disguised as backpackers to a certain signal source. Han Zu recorded the information key used by the team, and then sent the information to where it should go intact.

"Received. The support team is currently monitoring the area surrounding the target area and has found no abnormalities."

The location from which the information was transmitted was far away from the village, and the other party also had a certain degree of signal jamming equipment, so Han Zu's equipment could only determine the approximate direction, but that was enough. Han Zu had more than one way to know the surrounding information, including these devices.

He tried to use his perception ability to cover that area, but the effect was not satisfactory. As mentioned before, Han Zu's perception ability, due to some unknown reasons, did not work as Han Zu expected, and he could only barely distinguish the approximate direction.

"Or not."

Han Zu operated on his personal terminal and modified the power of the signal interception equipment so that the information of that team could be transmitted normally. However, all the information would be transferred through Han Zu's equipment. Han Zu thought that perhaps he could get more information this way.

"I think I know who they are."

Gloria suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Are you trying to say that they might be from the Ferdinand family?"

"Even if not, he is related to them or employed by the Ferdinand family."

After hearing what Gloria said, Han Zu started to think. This was the second time he heard news about the Ferdinand family today. In addition to what Gloria said before, there were family members among the board members, and their status was not low. So Han Zu reasonably believed that the board of directors must have some connection with the Ferdinand family.

The board of directors was obsessed with their own power and made no secret of their desire to always find ways to kill him. In the beginning, although Han Zu was not afraid, he felt very confused. The board of directors opposed him after they learned about this strange power in him. However, according to the practices of Unlimited Company and the board of directors in previous events, they should have found a way to secretly capture him and conduct research on him. However, every action taken by the board of directors towards him before seemed to be for a secondary research purpose, and the main purpose was to completely kill him. This was not in line with the Unlimited Company or the board of directors' usual style.

Now Han Zu learned about the mysterious Ferdinand family, which made him begin to associate the board's extreme actions with the Ferdinand family.

"Have they studied something similar? Or is it because of my power that they are so eager to kill me? Are they also secretly supporting the board of directors, or even saying that those guys on the board of directors are supported by the Feidenan family?"

Thinking about it this way, the actions of the Feidenan family and the board of directors made sense. They must have some secrets in their hands, and it is very likely related to the power in their bodies. They spared no effort and tirelessly cleared out relevant personnel like Gloria who were on the run, perhaps to prevent the leakage of information from the root. As a result, Han Zu, who originally didn't care about the Feidenan family, suddenly became interested. Maybe it's time to learn more about this mysterious family.

"An unauthorized unit has entered a restricted area."

"They are coming. Some have come to the old house above you and are outside the yard now. What are you going to do?"

"Do you think they can get down?"

"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Once someone goes missing, they should immediately send out an emergency message and send out the location here. Even if you can intercept their signal, people outside will soon notice something unusual and discover your secret base. It's only a matter of time."

Gloria looked at the surveillance footage on Han Zu's personal terminal and found that someone had broken the door lock of the yard and entered the yard. They found the items left by Han Zu and the heavy motorcycle. At the same time, someone had discovered the footprints left by Han Zu by the well.

But Gloria felt something was not right, because Han Zu's performance was too calm, as if he didn't care at all whether anyone discovered his secret.

"An unauthorized party has entered the tunnel entrance location. The tunnel entrance system has been compromised."

According to the surveillance footage on Han Zu's personal terminal, someone has jumped down the well and arrived at the metal gate outside the tunnel. They are currently using equipment to crack the metal gate. In a few minutes, they will be able to successfully open the first metal gate.

"You see, there are always people in this world who have no sense of boundaries and no manners."

"You plan to use sentry weapons to eliminate them?"

"It's not useful for the moment. There aren't that many of them. Using sentry weapons would be a waste of bullets."

"So you're just going to let them in?"

"That's not it."

"So...wait, why did they stop hacking the metal gate? And start all over again?"

"Cognitive distortion field in operation, affecting target, thirty-two."

Just when Gloria discovered that those who had cracked the gate suddenly stopped cracking when they were about to succeed and started over again, a prompt sound suddenly came from the personal terminal in Han Zu's hand, answering his doubts.

"You plan to use this thing to distort their cognition and prevent them from coming in? Wouldn't it be better if you activated it before they enter the yard? Even if you distort their current cognition and prevent them from coming in, they have already discovered the abnormality here, right?"

Han Zu smiled and patted Gloria on the shoulder.

"It seems that your position in the original "company" is indeed not very high, let alone in the family foundation."

"There is no practical meaning in laughing at me at this time."

"Are you bored? Well, it's time to get down to business. It's not okay to have so many people looking around at my door."

Han Zu snapped his fingers twice and started to operate on his personal terminal. Gloria noticed that Han Zu opened a program used to invade the communication system and scan the real-time coordinates of the signal. Using this program, he intercepted the correct signal from the communication channel of those who were guarding the yard, and used it to lock the location of the support team that was communicating with them.

After confirming the coordinates, Gloria observed that Han Zu opened something in the secret base. Based on the three-dimensional structure diagram above, Gloria could roughly guess that what Han Zu opened should be a large storage equipment. Based on her previous experience in the base, Gloria immediately thought of what it was.

A container located at the bottom level of the secret base.

"Target device activated, number of units: 9, number a. Heading to coordinate location."

Staring at the screen on her personal terminal, Gloria understood that Han Zu was preparing to test the strength of these "soldiers". Although they were fully armed and looked very intimidating, Gloria was also very curious about what they could actually do.

"You were not stingy with the equipment they had on them."

"The first batch is always the most expensive, after all, it requires constant experimentation."

When Gloria noticed that these soldiers were wearing the latest power armor and were using the energy propulsion system behind them to fly long distances without making any sound, she had some intuitive feelings about these soldiers. At present, the sudden appearance of such a group of silent soldiers carrying heavy firepower would not only disrupt the target personnel's formation, but also cause a great impact on them.

"And these nine soldiers are only a small part. If all their equipment is like this, then you must be planning something extraordinary."

"We are about to arrive at the predetermined coordinates. The invisible force field has been activated."

"Arrived at the reserved coordinates."

According to the images sent back by the monitoring equipment on the soldiers' helmets, the nine soldiers have successfully arrived at the coordinate location, which is on a mountain a few kilometers away from the village. Near the top of the mountain, there are two medium-sized RVs parked. In the open RVs, some information personnel are observing the equipment. This seems to be a temporary command post.

There are also a lot of people here, but the other guards are not inside the command post, but patrolling the periphery.

"Scanning in progress...Scan successful, 70 combatants, 25 unarmed personnel, a complex communications equipment group detected. Signals match."

"Keep unarmed personnel, block equipment, and remove all combatants."

"The order has been issued and is being carried out."

Through the on-site footage sent back by the soldiers, Gloria noticed that the nine soldiers immediately locked onto the nearby combatants. They still maintained their invisible force field, and did not use the heavy weapons they carried. They only relied on their invisibility and strong physical fitness to assassinate the armed forces one by one without attracting attention. After only a few minutes, all the armed forces had their necks twisted and were dragged into the bushes and grass. Their movements were so agile that the people in the temporary command center above had no idea what was happening.

"Combatants cleared."

"Control the remaining personnel on the spot and disable all equipment."

"What are you...?!!!"

As Han Zu's order was given, nine heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared in front of the people in the command post. A large number of customized pulses burst out from their bodies, instantly paralyzing all the equipment. When those people discovered them, the heavy weapons in their hands were already aimed at them. In a blink of an eye, the temporary command post and the remaining people became Han Zu's prey.

"Go out for some fresh air?"

Han Zu put down the personal terminal in his hand and prepared to leave the base through other exits.

"Are you planning on going over there? What about those people who are still in the well and invading the gate? And the guys guarding it above?"

"Leave it here for now. Maybe there are some important cannon fodder inside. What do you mean? Or do you plan to stay here for now?"

"I'd better go with you. I can't understand the equipment in your base."
