Chapter 1985 The Internet

"What about the internet? What's with the internet?"

"I'm not sure. It seems that the maintenance staff broke it..."

The other companies on campus were still in darkness. The emergency backup power supply of CXX Research Trading Company was quickly activated. The company's electricity supply was quickly restored but the internet was still unavailable.

Neither the optical fiber internet nor the satellite network connection could be used.

Several security guards at the sentry post were discussing when they saw the black SUV piloting over from afar. They looked up and watched.

The fog tonight was thicker than usual.

"Let's go. Someone's here. Let's go take a look."

Several guards walked out of the sentry post and signaled for the SUV to stop for inspection.

Fang Heng rolled down the window.

Through the barbed wire fence set up on the periphery of the CXX Research Trading Company, he could see the armed federal guard standing inside the factory with weapons in his hand.

The sudden power failure made the security personnel of CXX Research Trading Company extra vigilant.

"We are investigators from the Central Federation's Special Incident Investigation Team. We have encountered an emergency and need to find your supervisor." Fang Heng handed over the room card in his pocket and said, "This is our ID."

The guard sized Fang Heng up and took the room card from Fang Heng's hand to check.

Suddenly, the guard felt his vision blur and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

The room card turned into an identification card in front of the guard.

"The Central Federation's Special Incident Investigation Team... Wait a minute." The guard lightly read the seal on his ident.i.ty and nodded, "I need to seek approval from my supervisor."

"Hurry up."

The guard knew that the ident.i.ty of the person who came was not ordinary. He wanted to inform the supervisor through the radio, but he found that the radio was affected by signal interference and could not be used for the time being.

"I'm sorry, please wait a moment. I'll report to the supervisor."

"Yes." Fang Heng looked at the guard coldly and said, "Hurry up, we have something urgent to attend to."

"Alright, immediately..."

The guard handed the identification card back and hurriedly ran to the campus to invite the supervisor.

Soon, a black military vehicle drove out of the campus toward the entrance.

Supervisor Deng was the head of the Safety and Security Department of CXX Company.

He was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his fifties and had a shrewd look in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. The weather is foggy, and there might be magnetic interference. There's some trouble with the internal communication system of the campus. Thank you for waiting."

After checking the identification provided by Fang Heng again, Supervisor Deng hurriedly signaled for the sentry post to let them pa.s.s. He said, "Thank you for your hard work. The company has a confidentiality requirement. You should get into my car."

"Alright."

After Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu got into the car, Supervisor Deng personally drove to the company's campus. He tried to inquire, "You two look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time coming to our CXX Company?"

Fang Heng signaled Gu Qingzhu with his eyes. The latter immediately understood and said coldly, "We are the Central Federation's Special Incident Investigation Team. The investigation project number is UY-280001. Do you know anything about this project? If you don't understand the situation, please take me to your superior immediately."

When Supervisor Deng heard the project number, his expression instantly turned cold.

Only a few of the company's top executives knew about this project.

Coincidentally, he was one of them.

The most important task of the security department was to protect the safety of this project.

"Yes, I know a little. My superior is in charge of the security of the relevant projects. May I know what happened?"

"We suspect that the project information has been leaked. There may have been suspicious people sneaking into CXX Company recently. We are here to confirm and investigate the suspicious people on the spot."

"You want to go into the research base to check?"

Supervisor Deng frowned and shook his head, saying, "I'm sorry. I need to confirm your security level and authorization information."

Fang Heng took out a blank doc.u.ment from his briefcase and handed it to Supervisor Deng.

Supervisor Deng's eyes blurred for a moment. He grabbed the doc.u.ment and carefully read the contents.

Fang Heng sighed to himself, and the compound eyes of h.e.l.l Faram in his hand promptly withered.

He had not even seen the shadow of the secret research inst.i.tute in the CXX Research Trading Company. He had already consumed four of the h.e.l.l Faram's compound eyes along the way.

It was too useless.

Seeing that the duration of the compound eye was about to end, Fang Heng instantly urged, "This is an emergency. We need to hurry."

After confirming the contents of the doc.u.ment, Supervisor Deng put down his doubts about Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. The person in charge of the research inst.i.tute should have brought the two of you into the secret research inst.i.tute for inspection. However, there was some malfunction inside the campus just now..."

"How long do we need to wait?" Gu Qingzhu broke in coldly, "If there's a problem, is your CXX Company willing to take responsibility? We don't have time to waste here. Please bring us in for an inspection immediately."

"Alright, alright."

Supervisor Deng hesitated for a moment before piloting the military vehicle to the warehouse where the materials were stored on the campus.

Fang Heng gazed out of the window.

The security of the warehouse did not seem to be tight. It was even slightly weaker than the outside.

"We're here."

Supervisor Deng got out of the car and opened the door for them.

He didn't know what was going on today.

The communication system in the entire campus was affected and had not been repaired for a long time.

Supervisor Deng walked to the warehouse and started the video verification.

"Verification pa.s.sed. Good evening, Supervisor Deng Yuan."

Soon, the warehouse door opened in front of Fang Heng and the others.

"Please rest a.s.sured, this is a secret research area. The exact location of this area is only known to the eight senior executives of the company, including me. All researchers and staff are unable to leave the work area for a year after entering the work area 24 hours a day and all contact with the outside world is cut off. The outside world can't know the existence of the secret research area."

Gu Qingzhu's expression was as indifferent as ever. She glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of her eye and secretly felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, Fang Heng arrived along.

Otherwise, it would have taken them a lot of time to confirm the location of the secret research inst.i.tute just by breaking into the campus.

"There are surveillance cameras here. Anyone with unknown origins will be interrogated. The research inst.i.tute is on the 15th underground floor. Please follow me."

After entering the warehouse, Supervisor Deng led them forward until they stepped into a cargo elevator on the rightmost side.

"Ding dong..."

After swiping the card, the hidden floor b.u.t.ton on the control panel appeared.

"Confirm pa.s.sword-Eternal Day, proceed to the 15th underground floor."

"Operation confirmed. Welcome, Mr. Deng."

After the built-in intelligent system responded, the elevator descended rapidly to the 15th floor.

When the elevator door opened again, a secret research inst.i.tute built in the underground area was displayed in front of Fang Heng and the others.

The internal structure of the research inst.i.tute was distributed in a ring. In the center was a huge open s.p.a.ce, a bit like a football field.

The elevator's exit was facing a wide circular corridor.

From here, they could overlook every corner of the open research area.

Looking down through the transparent gla.s.s, Fang Heng saw the occupied research staff at a glance.
