Dr. Bai came to his senses.

"Have the identities of these six people been confirmed?"

"Clear."

Because it was uncertain how Luke had infiltrated, but Dr. Zola was so certain, Dr. White resorted to the most rudimentary method.

A thorough, comprehensive investigation.

This is not.

After a night of investigation, they have now narrowed it down to six people, including Lu Ke.

The staff immediately found the information of Lu Ke and the other five people on the big screen, and then turned to report to Dr. Bai, who was standing not far away.

"The man in the wheelchair is Chris Chen, 22 years old, and a recent graduate of the University of California. According to social media and phone calls, he came here specifically for a spontaneous trip."

"The woman talking to Chris Chen is named Heather Miller. She is from Texas, 23 years old, and graduated from community college. The four people next to her are also from Texas and are her friends."

"University of California, community college?"

Dr. Bai seemed to have found the key point and frowned, saying, "How did a university elite and a white woman from the community come together?"

The staff did not speak, but followed the six people's movements and directly retrieved the highway surveillance footage from that time.

"They met during their travels."

"Then……"

"Chris Chen and Heather Miller are sharing a room at the hotel, according to information sent by the hotel owner."

"The noise in that room didn't stop until 4 a.m., and then it started again at 6 a.m., which led to a lot of complaints from customers."

What else can I complain about?

It's because of poor sound insulation.

Among these numerous complaints, the majority came from men. As for women, they were even secretly inquiring about the name and appearance of the man who caused the commotion.

Dr. Bai nodded thoughtfully.

obviously.

This is a love story that a backpacker encountered on his journey.

but……

Prudent.

"Is there anything different about this information about Chris Chen?"

"No."

The staff member quickly said, "We retrieved the surveillance footage of Chris Chen at the university and compared it with the face in front of us. We also found the report that Chris Chen just mentioned that three people in wheelchairs were in high school. The information is basically consistent."

Dr. Bai was relieved upon hearing this: "Alright, let's skip this group and move on to the next one."

The staff nodded.

soon.

After Luke and the others' information was removed from the big screen, he himself was taken back to the hotel by Heather and the others.

The hotel owner was very hospitable and said he would take good care of Luke while he stayed there.

then……

After receiving assurances from their boss, and with Luke kissing Heather and expressing his hope that she would see all the beauty of the desert on his behalf, Little White and Little Black finally pulled the reluctant Heather into their beat-up little car and continued their journey into the Colorado desert.

Luke only breathed a sigh of relief after watching the beat-up car drive out of his sight, and then, with the hotel owner's enthusiastic help, returned to his room.

"Thank you."

"It's alright. If you need anything, just call downstairs. I'm always here."

"Ok."

Lu Ke smiled and saw off the hospitable boss. After closing the door, his eyes flickered slightly.

interesting.

He had seen many people on his way from the hotel to the hospital.

but……

Of these people, apart from a small number of travelers who are natural persons, almost everyone else, including every single local, is a clone.

Even the innkeeper we just saw was a clone.

It is clear.

Carl has found the right place.

Even if this isn't Zola's lair, it's definitely not far from it.

Now that it's decided, things will be much easier.

He has a plan!

Find Zola's lair, go inside, find Zola, and then shut him down.

Never again!

first……

The suburban villa that Carl suspected.

Lu Ke thought to himself, then maneuvered his wheelchair to the window of the room and looked out at the grove of trees directly in front of him.

However, he did not set off immediately.

after all……

It was still early, and Lu Ke strongly suspected that at this moment, none of the residents in this town were natural people anymore; they were all clones.

So going out under these circumstances would undoubtedly be a clear message to Zola.

I'm coming, run!

This is not okay.

However, Lu Ke didn't wait until night to act secretly, because that wouldn't fit his persona.

His current persona is that of a recent graduate who plans to make the most of his last moments as a backpacker and travel extensively.

and so……

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, under the watchful eye of the hotel owner on the first floor, Lu Ke, leaning on his cane, hopped down the stairs.

This action left the hotel owner completely dumbfounded.

Good guy.

You're just tired of having your other leg, so you're planning to fix it up.

wrong.

The hotel owner seemed to realize something and paused slightly when he looked at Luke, whose right arm had already been removed from the cast.

Your right hand.

"Don't mention it."

Lu Ke, leaning on his crutches, approached the hotel owner and gave him a knowing look: "My right arm was fine to begin with, but my girlfriend insisted that the doctor put a cast on it. I rested in the room for a while and felt okay, so I had it removed. That way, it won't stop me from enjoying the beautiful scenery."

The hotel owner understood the implication: "You're still planning to go out?"

Lu Ke shrugged and said, "We can't go to the desert, but going to the outskirts of town and watching the sunset from afar will make the trip worthwhile. By the way, boss, do you have a car? Can I borrow it for a bit? I'm willing to pay."

The hotel owner opened his mouth.

He was just about to say something when he realized that he had unknowingly given Luke the keys to his pickup truck.

He now had three Franklin cards in his hand.

Lu Ke smiled slightly: "Thanks, boss, I'll be back tonight."

talking.

Once again, before the hotel owner could react, Luke had already disappeared through the door, leaning on his cane at the same pace as walking.

When the hotel owner ran out to check, he saw Luke get into his orange pickup truck, start the engine, and drive off towards the edge of town.

In the blink of an eye.

Despite his seemingly injured foot, Luke's enthusiasm for exploring the beautiful scenery remained undiminished.

really.

It's good to be young.

As the innkeeper watched this scene, a fragmented memory surfaced in his mind. He chuckled wryly and then shook his head.

at the same time.

Suspecting Luke's arrival, the staff in the Hive Base's monitoring hall, who were watching the town closely, noticed the orange pickup truck heading towards the villas outside the town.

Dr. Bai also noticed it.

Who is this?

"Chris Chen".

"That unfortunate college student?"

"..."

In the monitoring hall of the underground Hive base.

on the big screen.

An orange pickup truck was speeding along the road, heading out of the town.

As staff activated the roadside cameras, Luke, no, Luke disguised as Chris Chen, quickly appeared on the big screen.
