Chapter 2196: Chapter 2189: Gene Warrior Production Base
But this process was pretty troublesome; it took Ji Wuye half a day to finally track down where the men in black went.
He had to hack into several thousand surveillance cameras across the whole city to find them.
"It’s Jitai Group! The babies were taken there." Wang Dadong said in a low voice.
"Jitai Group? I know them, that’s a pharmaceutical company. What would they want babies for?" Murong Dili said in shock. She really couldn’t figure out why a pharmaceutical company would want babies.
"Could they be using babies as raw materials to produce something?" As soon as Murong Dili said it, she was scared by her own thought.
"If you want to know what Jitai Group wants the babies for, we’ll know once we go take a look." Wang Dadong said.
Murong Dili frowned tightly. "But even if we know the babies were taken to Jitai Group, if Jitai Group refuses to admit it to the death, there’s nothing we can do."
"Don’t worry, leave this to me. You just focus on calming the families first. Not a shred of information about this can leak out."
Now that he knew the babies had been taken to Jitai Group, Wang Dadong set out immediately.
On the surface, Jitai Group was a pharmaceutical company, but who knew what they were doing in secret. Wang Dadong was afraid that if he went too late, the babies’ lives would be in danger.
In Wang Dadong’s heart every baby was equally important; it wasn’t just because one of them was Xiang Shaoguo’s granddaughter that he took it so seriously.
Jitai Group was located in the suburbs, a bit of a distance from downtown, so Wang Dadong took a taxi over.
The Jitai Group Building was more than thirty stories tall, with another seven or eight floors underground, extremely imposing. Just putting up a building like this must have cost tens of billions of Huaxia Currency.
Once inside Jitai Group, Wang Dadong was dumbfounded. The whole building, including the basement, had forty floors in total. Each floor had dozens of rooms, so the whole building had one or two thousand rooms. Trying to find the kidnapped babies in there was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"What am I supposed to do now?" Wang Dadong muttered, a bit depressed, wandering aimlessly.
Just when he was at his wits’ end, he spotted a familiar face hiding in a room, fingers flying over a palm-sized laptop.
"Liu Li? What is she doing here?" Wang Dadong was a bit curious. He slipped in quietly and watched from behind her.
He saw strings of English letters flashing rapidly across Liu Li’s laptop screen, making his eyes spin. After about three to five minutes, a 3D schematic popped up on the screen.
Looking closely, Wang Dadong realized it was actually a 3D blueprint of the entire Jitai Group Building. Every surveillance camera location and the use of every single room was precisely marked. He couldn’t help clicking his tongue in admiration. He hadn’t expected that besides being good at massage, Liu Li was actually a hacker too.
"Jitai Group’s system has been breached. The Gold Bars are on B3. The twenty-fifth floor is an independent space; a dedicated algorithm is set up in that area. I can’t crack it." Liu Li spoke into a mic, as if giving a report.
"We’ve already obtained what we wanted. Withdraw immediately." A voice came through her earpiece.
Liu Li’s pretty brows knitted. "Commander in Chief, since we’ve confirmed the Gold Bars are at Jitai Group, why not let me bring a team to take the place down?"
"A small-time Jitai Group is nothing. We need to lure out the big fish behind them. Obey orders and withdraw immediately." The voice in the earpiece sounded a little displeased.
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Dadong was puzzled.
Judging by Liu Li’s appearance, she was clearly on a mission. But hadn’t she completely severed ties with the Organization?
So who was she working for now?
Liu Li received the order to retreat, but she didn’t leave. Instead, she packed up all her equipment, hid it, and then started taking off her clothes.
Hiding behind a cabinet, Wang Dadong instantly turned to stone. He hadn’t expected that coming to Jitai Group to look for missing babies would give him this kind of lucky encounter.
But to his disappointment, after Liu Li took off her outer clothes, she turned out to be wearing a white T-shirt underneath, with a pair of royal-blue jeans on her lower half.
Still, Liu Li’s legs were really long, and even jeans couldn’t hide her sizzling figure.
Liu Li also let down the hair she’d pinned up at the back of her head, instantly changing from a female agent into a young, pretty girl. Then she opened the door and walked out.
After she left, Wang Dadong took out Liu Li’s gear and opened the small laptop.
He didn’t find any information related to the babies, but that unknown twenty-fifth floor looked very strange. Wang Dadong had a strong hunch that the missing babies were very likely being held there.
He tucked Liu Li’s computer into his waistband and headed toward the twenty-fifth floor as well.
When he got to the elevator lobby, he found that there wasn’t even a button for the twenty-fifth floor, so he had no choice but to step back out of the elevator.
If he couldn’t take the elevator, he’d have to use the stairs.
But to his greater surprise, when he went up the stairs from the twenty-seventh floor, he ended up directly on the twenty-sixth!
Neither the elevator nor the stairs could reach the twenty-fifth floor. Clearly, that floor was hiding some sort of secret.
No stairs didn’t mean Wang Dadong couldn’t get to the twenty-fifth floor.
After he climbed along the outer wall and slipped into the twenty-fifth floor, he was immediately stunned by what he saw.
All around him were glass tanks filled with pale green liquid, and in the liquid floated one monster after another.
"What the hell are these things?" Wang Dadong went closer to one glass tank for a look, and his eyes nearly popped out.
Turned out the tank didn’t hold monsters at all, but people!
Only the bodies were human; the heads were vicious, feral dog heads, and the four limbs ended in sharp claws.
Wang Dadong saw a label stuck on the glass tank. On it was written: "Gene Warrior—First Generation."
"Gene Warrior!" Wang Dadong’s face changed drastically.
Gene Warriors were produced by the Plunderers.
He’d come back to Jiangdu City precisely to start investigating the Plunderers, but by some twist of fate, while tracking the stolen babies from the hospital, he had stumbled right into a secret base where the Plunderers were manufacturing Gene Warriors.
Babies!
Right, didn’t the Plunderers have a thing for babies?
Wang Dadong calmed himself down and continued examining the other glass tanks. He discovered that the "monsters" in each tank were of different sizes, and the labels were different too.
There were First-Generation Gene Warriors, Second Generation, all the way up to Seventh Generation Gene Warriors.
The later the generation, the bigger the body, the sharper the teeth, and the thicker, longer the claws!
At this moment, two people in white lab coats walked over, pens and notebooks in their hands. They passed each glass tank, seemingly recording data.
"Mm, these Gene Warriors are growing very well. I believe it won’t be long before we have an entire Gene Warrior army."
