Chapter 594 Chapter 591 Project Glow
You have to find a secret place to talk about things that criticize the company. Zhuang Xuteng likes the cargo ship on the Pei River more and more. This mobile, random, and inexpensive place is very suitable for conversation. Only God, the earth, and the Pei River know about their conversation.
Mike told him the truth. He is now afraid of two things: one is to be found by the company, and the other is to go back but have no money. Zhuang Xuteng can cover up the problem of his body posture, so he has a chance to go home. However, he wants to sell the old project of the Gardener Organization to Zhuang Xuteng as intelligence, so as to exchange some money for himself, so that his family can have a stable life after returning.
He only has this little thing to sell, and there may be only Zhuang Xuteng as a potential buyer. This may be the only chance.
"I can fully understand your current mood." Zhuang Xuteng said to Mike: "Maybe you don't believe it, but this is not the first time I have encountered your situation."
"Okay, then I'll be frank..."
Mike wanted to package the intelligence of the Gardener Organization and sell it for 10 million euros, but was immediately rejected by Zhuang Xuteng. Zhuang Xuteng was only prepared to give him one million, because only companies were interested in the intelligence of the Gardener Organization in the market, and to put it bluntly, there was no way to cash it out. Zhuang Xuteng could only use this intelligence to make money for himself in other ways, and it is conceivable that such a thing is definitely not guaranteed.
After bargaining, the two parties finally agreed to pay 1.5 million euros plus 20% of the subsequent income above this as a reward to buy Mike's intelligence. Zhuang Xuteng took out 750,000 euros of platinum coins as a deposit, and then Mike told him everything he knew.
The Gardener Organization is centered on the Secretariat, and the overall situation is relatively loose. Each member does not know what the other is doing - but there will still be sporadic gossips circulating. Through sorting, Mike believes that the core work of the Gardener Organization is a bomb that has a "good effect" on enhanced people and enhanced human armies. It is powerful enough to destroy enhanced people, it is very hidden and will not be discovered, and its destructive speed is fast enough that it will not be avoided.
If Mike has information about this bomb, he will immediately become a multi-millionaire. Unfortunately, Palovic's main attack direction is not this, but the public opinion front.
Palovic has connections with many journalists and informants, and buys company intelligence from them, especially the black material of some company executives. This black material can be used for blackmail, and can cause infighting within the company.
Through such channels, Palovic got a clue that someone was willing to sell information about the Glow Project for 15 million euros. The work of contacting, evaluating, and purchasing was given to Mike, who took 15 million euros to start the operation and negotiated the deal for 5 million euros. Before he could get the information, something happened in Peicheng.
"I bought this new identity for 10 million euros, and then sold you something worth 5 million." Mike lifted a piece of skin on the lower right chest and took out a small key from the hidden flesh pocket. "The box at the storage of Peicheng Municipal Stadium is numbered G-7841. The information is inside."
Zhuang Xuteng took the key, looked at it for a moment, and asked: "Before you said you were investigating this clue in another place, why is the information in Peicheng?"
"This is a coincidence. The person who traded the information didn't dare to keep the things with him, so he took the opportunity to come to Peicheng and hid them in advance, carrying only this key with him - he didn't know I was from Peicheng."
"Why didn't you take it after that?" Zhuang Xuteng asked: "You can find the black market channel through Dr. Jiang, and the information should be able to make you some money."
"The black market will not be interested in these things. Only people who don't like the company will be willing to pay a good price."
Okay, it's okay to be seen through to this extent. Zhuang Xuteng really doesn't like the company, even in front of the company's people, and the company likes others to be afraid of them, whether they like the company or not has no effect on the company.
"Besides, I'm also worried that this is a trap." Mike pointed at the key and said, "What if the informant is fishing?"
"If it's a trap, I've saved your life, so give me back the money." Zhuang Xuteng took the key, immediately carried Mike on the return boat, and drove to Peicheng Municipal Sports Center after returning to the original place.
The stadium was empty. The gangs that once occupied this place were gone, and there were fewer homeless people, but no one would come here to exercise again. The poster column and the wall were posted with information about the last concert. The paper had been blown away by the wind, and the people on the posters looked like they were cut into eight parts at an angle. There were seven or eight trucks parked near the entrance, and the cargo box was full of large and small boxes. It looked like a performance company. Zhuang Xuteng eavesdropped on their conversation and found out that they were going to set up an exhibition here, which seemed to be a promotional activity for some product.
They took the maintenance channel, and Zhuang Xuteng took the social personnel channel, which was the physical exercise channel. A long time ago, the Xianfa City Government opened this stadium to all those who needed to run and exercise, and the entrance fee was covered by the "Peicheng Park Card". Good citizens can enter and exit the stadium and use the equipment inside with a park card. Guess who can enter without a card?
Everyone who is not a good citizen can.
Zhuang Xuteng was not a good citizen. When he approached the gate, he used his ghost tentacles to press the manual switch inside and let himself in directly. Mike was not stuck. He looked around, quickly jumped over the gate, and successfully got in. Although the staff of the stadium saw this scene from a distance, what does the job of checking tickets have to do with the cleaners? As long as they don't litter, no one will make trouble for them.
"They haven't used execution puppets here yet. They are all real people cleaning." Mike looked around and said, "To be honest, I have seen execution puppets all day recently, and such scenes are rare."
"Someone did this deliberately." Zhuang Xuteng took out a stun grenade from his arms, pulled the ring, and threw it up hard. The stun grenade drew an arc at high speed, crossed the high wall of the stadium, and went straight to the track and field. The stun grenade detonated in mid-air, and the violent flash illuminated the venue. The shocking noise produced echo and reverberation effects.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden stun grenade. Most people fled in panic, and only some characters moved forward into the venue. They were either very brave or had an important mission. Zhuang Xuteng didn't need to distinguish their intentions one by one, just pull Mike to hide in a hidden place.
"Wait five seconds, then follow me, the box is not far ahead." Zhuang Xuteng closed his eyes, focusing his senses on sensing the tentacles and the ghost jelly. At the same time, he had to twist the direction of the camera, or use the shadow to form an opaque cover to pave the way for their next action.
These five seconds were also the time for the ghost servant to take the key to unlock the door. Zhuang Xuteng and Black Mike then traveled smoothly all the way. In addition to paying attention to always walking in the shadows, there was no need to pay attention to other details, so this became the simplest infiltration operation in Mike's life. He checked around with the habit of a PCPD detective and noticed those abnormal cameras. Of course, he couldn't figure out how Zhuang Xuteng did it, but he certainly understood that it was all done by Zhuang Xuteng.
"It looks like there is no ambush. These devices are the type that can appear in the gymnasium. They should not be the company's trap." Zhuang Xuteng brought Mike to the locker. The door of the locker was of course open, and the small suitcase inside was half pulled out by the ghost servant and hung at the door of the locker. Zhuang Xuteng blocked Mike's sight with his body, walked forward and took the box directly, and the work of closing the door and removing the key was left to the ghost servant to complete - this can avoid leaving fingerprints.
"You move so fast..." Mike felt that he just blinked his eyes, and the steps of taking out the key, unlocking the lock, and taking things were completed? He followed Zhuang Xuteng step by step and trotted away from the stadium. He didn't know that behind him, the ghost servant even wiped their footprints clean.
Back in the car, Mike became the driver again, and Zhuang Xuteng opened the box in the back seat. The box did not react to the energy. Using the ghost jelly to see through the gap, there were only some documents inside, and there were no traps. The box itself uses a password lock and cannot be opened directly. Zhuang Xuteng didn't bother to ask for the password. He just used a little force with both hands and broke the lock to open the box.
There was a pile of paper documents with photos inside, mainly a follow-up report, interspersed with some photocopies of company documents and a few unclear photos. The report mentioned a "Glow Project", saying that it used illegal means to provide raw materials for social public work points. The reporter who sorted out the report found some clues, including a list of suppliers with numbers and letters, and some reference material directories that were also coded.
"What is this? Is it all riddles?" Zhuang Xuteng flipped through the materials. He could only recognize from the photo that it was a group photo of a meeting. Four middle-aged men and women in suits and leather shoes stood shoulder to shoulder in a row, smiling at the camera. "Who are these four people? Have you seen them?"
Mike parked the car on the side of the road, looked back, and shook his head - he also couldn't understand the documents coded with numbers and letters. "I'm only responsible for negotiating business and retrieving intelligence as cheaply as possible. I'm not good at decoding."
"If you don't want to find someone else to decode, you have to find the person who provided the clue." Zhuang Xuteng put down the folder and asked, "Can you find that guy again?"
"It's basically impossible." Mike carefully recalled the situation when they met. He said, "That person was very cautious and used a temporary mobile phone number. He must have planned to throw it away after the transaction. I'm afraid only Palovic knows his real name. He wore sunglasses and a breathing mask that day, and his voice was changed. He only used a code to prove his identity..."
"It sounds like this person has a lot of experience in selling intelligence. "A reporter doesn't write reports, he only sells them..."
"If he can report everything he writes, then he won't sell them. And there's no telling what's behind these codes, he may not be able to continue investigating." Mike shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that the company is powerful. Except for idiots like the Gardener Organization, who would think of going to the company to fight?"
"That's true." Zhuang Xuteng took out the folder separately, threw the box to the front row, and said, "You take me to the music restaurant, then go a little further, find a trash can to throw the box away, and then come back and wait for me."
Zhuang Xuteng is not good at decryption, so he can only ask Sister Lucy for help. Middlemen often have to crack intelligence and secrets before they can start their work, and she has the corresponding technical reserves. Zhuang Xuteng waited until they were alone to explain his purpose, and then handed her the file.
Lucy is a smart person. She guessed with just a little thought that the matter that Nike was busy with was related to the company. Therefore, she was very cautious when handling files and would never use anything connected to the Internet. However, she does not have access to Internet-connected devices. With her many years of experience in this industry, she quickly figured out that the code of a lot of numbers and letters was a combination of coordinates and names.
"Look at this part. These are the coordinates, in hexadecimal." Lucy noticed Zhuang Xuteng's confused look, waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it, I can convert it for you in a while. The latter are some kind of encryption I have to let Meteor run the calculation to find out the abbreviation method. Since this part is very short, it cannot save a lot of information, so I guess it is the name, which corresponds to the location.”
"Why not a classification or a description of the situation?"
"There are too few repeated parts, and it doesn't look like there are categories." Lucy pointed to the bookcase and said, "Go and get the map book, the one with a thick green cover. I'll convert the coordinates right now."
Lucy must have installed some kind of auxiliary computing device. Anyway, Zhuang Xuteng saw that she calculated very quickly, without pausing at all, and completed it in a moment, which made him envious. Then Lucy checked it again. This time she gathered the parts with similar results and wrote them together, roughly dividing them into six parts.
"Here, let me see where these are. Nike, pay attention to the first group. It looks familiar to me." Lucy took the thick atlas, first found the world map, and then compared the longitude and latitude coordinates. "Yes, I thought it was right, the first group is the coordinates of Peicheng."
"In the city?" Zhuang Xuteng asked.
"Yes... don't worry, I have to find detailed pictures." Lucy quickly turned to the part related to Peicheng, and asked Zhuang Xuteng to get a strange-shaped ruler from the bookcase. "Let me measure it. I haven't used map skills for a long time and I'm a bit rusty... Should I do this or that first?"
"Sister Lucy, have you ever learned map technology?"
"My father participated in the recent corporate war. He was an artilleryman and taught me this. He didn't know how to raise children and didn't know how to play with me. He just wanted to teach me everything he knew so that I can take care of myself.”
Gradually, Lucy rediscovered the technique from the depths of memory and emotion. She soon no longer hesitated and operated faster and faster. She found six locations on the map and copied the addresses to Zhuang Xuteng. "It's these six places. In my mind, these are not the company's territory, and there seems to be no connection between them - at least I can't see it. Naike, I suddenly don't know what you are looking for now."
"Actually, I don't know either. I have no clues, so I can only wander around." Zhuang Xuteng took the address strip, glanced at it, and was stunned for a moment.
Lucy thought to herself and said: "I will also find the following address for you, but the text part will have to wait. I don't want to transfer this file from the Internet. I have to take it with me to find the meteor."
"Thank you Sister Lucy, please send me the news." Zhuang Xuteng said.
