Chapter 5: The Arrest! Codenamed "The Cleaner"!
Chapter 5: The Arrest! Codenamed "The Cleaner"!
Old Master Long slowly stood up and walked to the window.
Outside the window is a training ground where several soldiers are conducting combat training.
He had his back to Su Chen, and his voice was low.
"Child, do you know what your words mean?"
"I know." Su Chen's tone was very calm:
"It means I might be seen as crazy or a liar by you."
"But it also means that if what I'm saying is true, you will have an eye that can see through all conspiracies."
"Aren't you afraid we'll turn against you?" Elder Long retorted.
"I'm scared!" Su Chen laughed, then continued, "But I'm even more afraid that a month from now, the apocalypse will really come, and you won't be prepared at all."
Old Master Long turned around and looked at the young man with a complicated expression.
"Tell me, what is the end of the world?"
Su Chen took a deep breath.
[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...
"One month from now, an unknown energy fluctuation will occur globally."
"These fluctuations can disrupt the Earth's magnetic field, triggering large-scale earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and so on..."
"But this is just the beginning."
"Next, a creature we've never seen before will appear; it will be ferocious, powerful, and feed on humans."
"At the same time, some humans will awaken superpowers and become extraordinary."
"The entire civilization will collapse overnight, and humanity will enter its darkest age."
In the conference room, everyone's expression changed.
Isn't this just a plot from a science fiction novel?
But those who were arrested last night said the same thing.
"Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?" the square-faced middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"Not now," Su Chen shook his head slightly and smiled, "but it will be available in a month! However, by then, it will be too late."
"Then how can we trust you?"
"With facts," Su Chen said, looking at Elder Long. "Give me three days, and I will prove it to you."
After a moment's thought, Elder Long asked, "How do you intend to prove it?"
"Arrest them." Su Chen uttered two words: "Those reborn individuals are causing trouble all over the country right now."
"Some are hoarding supplies, some are looking for opportunities from their past lives, and some are building up their power."
"Each of them is a ticking time bomb."
"Instead of waiting for them to explode, we should demolish them now."
These words were spoken casually, but the bigwigs present all sensed their weight.
"Do you have a list?" Qin Bing suddenly asked.
"Yes." Su Chen nodded calmly, "Incomplete, but enough for your operation."
Elder Long and the other bigwigs exchanged glances and finally nodded.
Tell me about it.
Su Chen closed his eyes, and the barrage of comments flashed through his mind.
"The first one, codenamed 'Stock God,' real name Zhang Wei, 35 years old, professional stockbroker."
"He is preparing to use his prophetic abilities to short several companies that are about to collapse, and then achieve financial freedom before the end of the world."
"He should be at... the Beijing Stock Exchange right now."
A person who looked like a secretary immediately took out a tablet and quickly took notes.
"The second one, codenamed 'Medicine King,' real name Li Ming, 42 years old, comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners."
"He knew that in the deep mountains of Yunnan, there was a thousand-year-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that was about to mutate. After the apocalypse, that thing would become a spiritual medicine that could directly awaken supernatural abilities in people."
"He should already be on his way, and he should arrive at his destination by tomorrow at the latest."
"The third one, codenamed 'Real Estate Tycoon,' real name Liu Jianguo, 50 years old."
"He is frantically acquiring abandoned factories and warehouses on the outskirts of the city, preparing to convert them into shelters, and then using them as leverage to build his own power during the apocalypse."
Su Chen rattled off more than a dozen names in one breath.
Each one was identified precisely, down to their code name, real name, age, occupation, current location, and plans.
Everyone was stunned.
This intelligence capability is simply terrifying!
"Are all these people reborn?" Elder Long asked.
"Yes." Su Chen opened his eyes: "And they're all the more active, the more dangerous ones."
"Is there anything more dangerous?" Qin Bing asked immediately.
Su Chen looked at her, his expression turning serious:
"have!"
"Who is the most dangerous leader among them?" Qin Bing pressed.
Su Chen was silent for a few seconds, then said, word by word:
"Xiao Fan! The 'Flame Emperor' of the previous life."
"He is the strongest and most ambitious of all the reborn individuals, and he was also the first to be reborn."
"If the other reborn individuals are just dabbling in minor matters, then he is the one who truly wants to overturn this world."
The air in the conference room instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Elder Long's eyes became incredibly sharp.
Where is he now?
"I don't know." Su Chen shook his head and said in a deep voice, "He's very cautious and never reveals his location in the comments. But I know he's definitely making plans in secret, waiting for the right opportunity."
"So how do we find him?"
"No need to look," Su Chen laughed. "Once we've captured enough reborn individuals, they'll come forward on their own."
"Because he will find that someone is sabotaging his plans."
"By then, he will definitely find a way to find me, the mole."
Elder Long stared at Su Chen for a long time.
This young man is too calm.
He was so calm, unlike a college student in his early twenties; he seemed more like a seasoned veteran agent.
"Aren't you afraid he'll find you?"
"I'm scared!" Su Chen admitted, "But I believe even more that you can protect me."
These words moved everyone present.
This is an absolute trust.
Or rather, it was a high-stakes gamble.
This guy has staked his life on the country.
Elder Long took a deep breath and turned to look at Qin Bing.
"Xiao Qin, from now on, you are responsible for protecting his safety."
"Yes!" Qin Bing stood at attention and saluted.
"Furthermore..." Elder Long's voice grew authoritative as he issued the order: "Immediately initiate Operation Cleanup!"
"Objective: The list of all reborn individuals provided by Comrade Su Chen!"
"We must bring them all under control as quickly as possible!"
"yes!"
Everyone stood up.
A storm that will sweep across the country has officially begun.
