Chapter 482: Covered-up Accident

Chapter 482: Covered-up Accident

2:07 pm, resort hotel cafe.

The off-season for tourism made the entire resort hotel very deserted, and the coffee shop in the hotel was no exception. Including Han Zu himself, a few baristas behind the bar, and one or two waiters, there were less than ten people here. Including Han Zu, there were only three customers.

The atmosphere in the entire cafe was very quiet. There was no music playing in the store. Everyone was quietly doing their own things and drinking the coffee in their cups. Only one person was different. In his cup was vodka with a piece of coffee sugar. This person was naturally Han Zu.

Like everyone else, he was doing his own thing. On the surface, he was drinking and enjoying the view outside the window, but in fact, he was using the contractor's equipment to search for news about Infinite City. With the contractor's equipment, his channels for obtaining relevant information were no longer limited to the Infinite City player forum. As long as the information was saved in the form of data, he could read it at will. Currently, he was using the equipment to invade the Infinite Company's internal network to obtain relevant information.

There were a lot of personnel changes, but nothing special happened. The reasons for the changes seemed reasonable and there was nothing wrong with them. The data uploaded by the important departments was basically normal, and nothing useful could be found. Everything inside Infinite Company seemed normal, just like what they revealed to the outside world.

Han Zu recalled the conversation between the deputy director and the three leaders before he killed him, which was about the stable anchor point. However, after searching, he did not find any relevant records. Neither the engineering department nor the R&D department had any relevant information. However, he used the contractor's equipment to locate the particle matter reactor, and there were indeed signs of recent maintenance on it.

The incident did happen, but it was covered up by the company. It is normal and common for a company to cover up information about an incident involving a particle matter reactor. But the abnormal thing is that the engineering department has no relevant information at all.

According to common sense, although such large-scale accidents would not be recorded according to the original situation, the engineering department would record the materials used to reduce the consequences of the accident in the form of "routine maintenance" materials. Han Zu knew very well where these data were recorded and how to distinguish them, but this time he found nothing, which meant that this accident might be much more serious than imagined.

When the deputy director was chatting with the leader, he once said that this accident seemed to be related to a copy of the Infinite City. So Han Zu changed the search direction and began to search for relevant information about the Infinite City, but again, no relevant information was left. Since no clues could be found, it was impossible to confirm which copy had the problem, so he had no idea where to start.

Having gained nothing, Han Zu drank the contents of the cup, stopped investigating, and left the cafe.

Han Zu stopped walking back to the hotel lobby. He had a lot to do. In addition to finding out what happened in Infinite City, he also needed to find a place to stay. Living in a hotel, he couldn't get Infinite Company's equipment. And these were just the first steps. There must be some important reasons for the personnel changes in Infinite Company, which was most likely related to the Feidenan family. The Feidenan family seemed to be looking for him, and these things really gave Han Zu a headache.

However, no matter how much of a headache it is, things still have to be done. There is no other good way now, so we can only use the most basic method and do it step by step. Among these steps, getting a place to live may be the easiest one.

The location Han Zu had originally chosen had some minor issues, and he had already thrown out the option. It was indeed not easy to find a suitable place to live in an unfamiliar city. But as the saying goes, there is always a way to get there. While searching for a suitable place, Han Zu found some news that interested him.

The province where U City is located has a unique geographical distribution. In the ocean within the scope of U City, there are many independent islands far away from the coastline. Since they are not important economic locations, there is no room for development. These islands have basically not been developed. In the early years, these islands belonged to the military and there were some small or medium-sized military bases on them. However, with the increase of national strength and the development of science and technology, these islands that were originally used as fixed aircraft carriers have been gradually eliminated. The soldiers and equipment on them have been withdrawn. Except for the base bunkers that cannot be moved and are left behind, there is no one on them.

In the past decade, these islands have become camping sites for some backpackers, but after several typhoons, backpackers no longer go to these islands, and ferries have also removed these places from their routes. However, in the past few years, some fishermen liked to go near the islands, where a large number of fish often gathered, but fishermen basically did not go to the islands. After all, there are many reefs near the islands.

In the black market information circle near U City, Han Zu found some unlucky people. These guys originally wanted to go to the bunkers on the island to see if there were any abandoned military equipment, and wanted to get them out and sell them. Some of them were lucky enough to successfully find the location of one of the bunkers, but with their means, they couldn't open the gate of the bunker and couldn't get in. Not only that, two of them accidentally stepped on the trap left by the military and didn't clean it up, and lost their lives. Since then, no one has really gone to those small islands on the sea.

Han Zu checked the database of Infinite Company and found that they had not been to these islands. After all, considering the financial and material resources of Infinite Company, there are plenty of places better than these islands.

This discovery immediately made Han Zu excited. He planned to go to those islands to take a look. If there was really no one else there, then for him, this would be a perfect hiding place.

Those guys on the black market couldn't get into the bunker, but Han Zu had no problem at all. With the help of the contractor's equipment and his own strong strength, unless the bunker above was built with the metal that Han Zu had seen in the ocean of the liquid planet before, he would definitely be able to get in. Of course, he didn't believe in such a coincidence.

"Well, I'll go check it out in a bit."

The accommodation problem was half solved, and Han Zu's frown relaxed a little. He walked to the elevator and prepared to go to the underground parking lot. He drove the car he got from the deputy supervisor to buy something to eat. He thought of the barbecue rib restaurant he had visited when he first arrived in U City yesterday.

"Ding!"

"Scan completed, no abnormalities found."

After arriving at the underground parking lot, Han Zu did not rush to approach the car. Instead, he used the equipment to scan near the car to make sure that no one had approached the car. He left in a hurry last night and inevitably left some clues. Before going to the island, he'd better be cautious.

After confirming that the vehicle was safe, Han Zu walked towards the car. After getting in, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he used the contractor's equipment to investigate the surveillance video of the underground parking lot. After confirming that no one had approached the car, he drove away.

"That man got in the car."

"Follow him first and see where he goes. Zhao Mingkai and I will stay in the hotel to see if we can find any clues in his room."

"I'll stay where I am. If he goes back to the hotel, I can give you a heads-up to prevent Pei Lan and Yuan Feng from being unable to report the incident."

However, in fact, although the car had not been moved, someone had already set their sights on it, and it was the five people from the Quack Society. Yuan Si and Zhao Mingkai stayed in the hotel, and while the target person was away, they planned to search his room, while Pei Lan and Yuan Feng followed him in another car to see where he was going.

Wuzhitu was not in the hotel, but on the rooftop of a commercial building near the hotel. As a long-range firepower, he could scout the situation from this position at any time and report to Yuan Si and Zhao Mingkai who stayed in the hotel. If things went wrong, he could also provide them with long-range firepower support.

It's true, because their early fighting style was relatively crude, although these five people from the Yaku Doctor Society had never done much tracking in reality, their rich experience in the dungeon made their stalking operation unusually smooth this time. Whether it was the control of distance or the choice of route, they were all professional. At the same time, because Yuan Feng had good driving skills and the two were very low-key and did not use any abilities, they also had the advantage of information gap, so Han Zu really didn't notice them.

Some time later, near the rib shop.

Han Zu's car stopped in the first position before the red light, and a few smoke rings floated out of the open window. Pei Lan and Yuan Feng stopped in the right lane between the two cars. They were very smart and did not stare at Han Zu's car from beginning to end, so they would not be discovered.

"Where have you been?"

"He's waiting for the light near the rib shop."

"How are you guys, are you safe?"

"It's safe. He didn't find us. How are Fatty and Kaikai doing? Did they get anything?"

"No, there was nothing in that person's room. Apart from the things that were originally in the hotel room, there were only a few cigarette butts in the ashtray. But..."

"what happened?"

"Kaikai said that there was a very strange energy fluctuation in that guy's room. It didn't seem like the kind that players in Infinite City would have."

"Not a player? Someone from Infinity Company?"

"I don't think so. After all, if they were from the company, they wouldn't be staying in the hotel. They would leave immediately after completing the mission, and they wouldn't be driving around the city in a car that belonged to a killed guy."

"Pei Lan and I will continue to follow and see if we can find out what he is going to do next."

"Okay, stay safe and contact me if you have any news."

"Ah."

The tracking process went very smoothly, but Han Zu's route made Pei Lan and Yuan Feng who were following him very confused. After all, apart from buying a portion of grilled ribs at a grilled rib shop and a pack of cigarettes at a nearby convenience store, he had not been anywhere else and had not come into contact with anyone. After going to these two places, he drove back to the hotel, and even parked in the same place as before.

"We are back. Let Fatty and Kaikai evacuate."

"They have come out and arranged a guest room cleaner, so that even if he finds that the room has been tampered with, he will have a suitable reason not to be suspicious."

"it is good."

Wuzhitu was right. When Han Zu returned to the door of the room, he found the housekeeping staff who had just finished cleaning. The time was just right. They usually cleaned the room at about the same time. However, to be on the safe side, Han Zu used the equipment to investigate the identity of the housekeeping staff. After confirming that they had no special identity, Han Zu scanned his room again and did not find any surveillance equipment, so he naturally did not become suspicious.

Back in the room, Han Zu sat on the sofa eating grilled ribs and thinking about his next plan to go to the island. Meanwhile, in the underground parking lot, Pei Lan and Yuan Feng booked a room on Han Zu's floor at the hotel, while Yuan Si and Zhao Mingkai drove Yuan Feng's car out of the hotel and met up with Wu Ritu at the Commercial Building.

To be on the safe side, Pei Lan and Yuan Feng did not approach Han Zu's room. They only communicated through a video call with Wu Ritu who was monitoring Han Zu's room from a distance, and Wu Ritu confirmed Han Zu's movements.

"How is it? Is the vision clear?"

"The weather is very good today. I can see clearly from here."

"What is he doing? Any moves?"

"He wasn't doing anything, just eating. But it was a little strange that he didn't look at his phone or tablet while eating. But judging by the cost of the room he stayed in and the amount of food he ate, it's impossible that he didn't have money."

"Don't worry, he will definitely make the next move. Wuzhitu, you, Fatty and Kaikai will split up and observe. If he makes any move, notify us immediately."

"it is good."

However, several hours passed, and as the sun gradually set, Han Zu in the room still did not move. He did not even leave the sofa, but just lay flat on the sofa with his eyes open. Only every 40 minutes, he would get up to smoke a cigarette, and then lie back on the sofa.

This situation continued for a long time. As it got darker, Pei Lan and Yuan Feng in the hotel had nothing to do, so they started checking their phones. Yuan Feng might have relaxed a little too much and almost forgot that they were still watching him.

The situation on Wuzhitu's side was similar. Except for Yuan Si, who was on shift change, he remained awake and was still keeping an eye on the situation in the hotel. Zhao Mingkai, who was on his shift rest, had fallen asleep, and Wuzhitu was also dozing off.

Just when everyone was dozing off, Yuan Si saw from the sight of Wuzhitu's weapon that Han Zu in the room suddenly stood up from the sofa, stretched his neck, and walked towards the door.

"Everyone, be alert! He's moving! He's leaving the hotel room."

Yuan Si immediately notified Pei Lan and Yuan Feng who were staying in the hotel, and woke up Wu Ritu and Zhao Mingkai behind him. Wu Ritu took back his weapon from Yuan Si, and the three of them packed up and prepared to leave.

Pei Lan and Yuan Feng, who were also in the hotel, immediately took their things and walked to the door. They saw Han Zu passing by in the corridor, and after he entered the elevator, they immediately left the room. Pei Lan followed him up the stairs, while Yuan Feng took another elevator.

Han Zu was probably going to drive away. Pei Lan and Yuan Feng quickly followed in two groups. After they met up, they waited for a while. When Han Zu got in the car and started the car to the exit of the underground parking lot, they also got in the car that Zhao Mingkai left here and followed him at a safe distance. Because they changed vehicles, as long as they kept a safe distance, they would not arouse suspicion.

While tracking Han Zu, Yuan Feng received a video call from the other three people.

"How about it?"

"From this direction, it looks like he's heading to the pier, not the tourist pier, but the fishing port."

"Keep a safe distance, don't get discovered, and don't get lost. Let's go wait near the fishing port first. If he changes his route, please inform us at any time."

"it is good."

However, the other party had no intention of changing the route and drove straight to the pier of the fishing port. However, after arriving at the fishing port, he parked the car outside and walked into the pier.

After the two vehicles met, they also entered the dock. After a period of walking tracking, they found that the target they were tracking was parked at a dock where several fishing boats were parked.
