Unconventional security

"The second plan is to fight to the death and prepare to infiltrate the upper city to investigate."

"Either investigate why the other side urgently needs to arrest the resurrected and resolve the crisis, or directly overthrow the Upper City government and become the king of the mountain."

"There is no room for reconciliation between us and those eight councilors in the Upper East Side."

"If it really comes to that, it'll be like having seven different kings. Which ancient emperor could tolerate the sudden appearance of seven different kings?"

Dr. Zhou spoke eloquently, remaining remarkably calm despite the fact that it was a matter of life and death.

Chen Bei sometimes really wondered if this old man had had enough of living?

"Chen Bei, what do you think?"

Ye Zhixue said in a low voice. Chen Bei was a little surprised, not expecting this girl to ask him.

Given the current situation in Shangcheng District, it's impossible for me to back down anymore; they've already put a knife to my throat.

But both options are equally tricky; he doesn't know anything about the restricted area, nor does he know anything about the upper city.

The restricted area contains unknown viruses and organisms, while the upper city area boasts cutting-edge technology and a large number of genetically awakened individuals.

Moreover, even the lowest level is someone who has unlocked three gene locks. What about those who have unlocked four or five?

What abilities do those people have?

Whichever option is chosen, it's a path with a slim chance of survival for Chen Bei.

"Anyway, there's no way I'm going to go to the restricted area."

Me too.

Liu Anming and Song Lu spoke one after the other. Neither of them had their gene locks activated, so sending them to the restricted area would be tantamount to suicide.

Dr. Zhou had anticipated that the two would say this, and as the projection changed, some weapon blueprints appeared.

"Actually, I've also researched some weapons, though there are only three or five of them, but they should be enough to deal with some of the small creatures in the restricted area."

"Its power is roughly equivalent to that of an awakened individual who has unlocked a power-type gene lock."

Awakening a genetic lock? Or a power-based one?

That's equivalent to being a Wang Tao.

Chen Bei silently calculated in his mind that, judging from this, Dr. Zhou's weapons were indeed quite powerful.

Chen Bei sighed and looked at Ye Zhixue, responding in a low voice.

"Option Two, please."

It's not about accommodating these two. The restricted area and the upper city may seem similar, but their resource situations are worlds apart.

This isn't some cultivation world or fantasy continent where you can treat any plant or creature you encounter as a rare treasure.

If you encounter some unfamiliar fruits or creatures in a restricted area, can you eat them? Are they poisonous?

Do the discovered materials have any scientific research value, or will they pose a threat to human health?

He knew none of these things.

The Upper City District is different. Putting aside resources, the people there are much more knowledgeable about information related to gene locks.

One's own strength is always the foundation. If Chen Bei wants to continue to break through his own limits, then infiltrating the Upper City will be the most beneficial.

"Doctor, let's choose option two."

Ye Zhixue nodded, and finally made the final decision directly to the professor.

"No, aren't you going to ask for my advice anymore?"

Yang Xiu shook the staff on his head, somewhat sullenly, "Hundreds of years have passed, how come it's still an era that judges people by their appearance?"

"Once my genetic lock is unlocked and I can change my appearance, I'll definitely become a national heartthrob!"

Yang Xiu was filled with resentment, but no one paid him any attention.

Dr. Zhou cropped the image and displayed a city map of District 103.

"Then let's prepare to infiltrate the Upper City. I even made a map of the 103rd District, thinking of taking out the police chief in advance."

"I didn't expect the director to be one of our people, so we can skip this step."

When Chen Bei heard these words, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

So if he hadn't come, even if they couldn't find the last person, forcing them to take action would have put them in a difficult position.

Moreover, if they could forcibly kill the target from the escort team in the upper city, they would probably die very quickly if they really tried to deal with him.

Indeed, the organization's power is formidable.

"I will inform the Red Fang Caravan to enter the city tomorrow. We will meet with them in the evening and then follow them directly into the upper city."

"The Red Fang Caravan is responsible for transporting creatures from the restricted area. The captain is one of ours, arranged by our boss, so you can rest assured. But don't reveal his identity."

Dr. Zhou introduced the so-called "big brother" to everyone, explaining that he was the member who lived in the upper city.

Chen Bei had never heard of this caravan, but he knew that caravans were entering the upper city.

This has never been a secret; the explanation given to the public is that it involves transporting goods between cities.

"Chen Bei, when the caravan arrives tomorrow, find someone to meet us and arrange a place to stay so we can board the vehicle from there."

Caravans usually find their own places to stay because they don't have long-term residency rights, so they are basically limited to area D.

It goes without saying how chaotic Zone D is.

Chen Bei frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Shall we follow this caravan into the city?"

If he leaves tomorrow, what will happen to the police station?

Who should take care of it?

"Yes, but we won't be staying long. The caravan will only take two days and one night to deliver supplies to the city. We'll come out with them then."

Dr. Zhou explained that the caravan was only conducting official business. They were safe by using the caravan's identity, so they had to do things properly.

When others come out, they naturally follow suit; this time, they're just going to gather intelligence.

"The purpose of this trip to Shangcheng District is twofold: first, to examine the layout of the district and whether a long-term foothold can be found; and second, to gather relevant intelligence."

"Gather as much intelligence as possible about the Upper City and see if there are any breakthroughs we can exploit."

He then explained the relevant matters in detail, and everyone said there were no problems.

After the meeting, everyone went back to their homes.

Chen Bei sent another message in the work group.

[Chen Bei: @Gu Mengyao, come work overtime with me tomorrow.]

[Gu Mengyao: Do ​​you want more money?]

[Chen Bei: If you don't come, your salary will be docked.]

Gu Mengyao: nm......

Chen Bei returned to the police station chief's office and lay on his small bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

He clearly just wanted to be a lazy bum.

How long is a lifetime anyway? Why not just enjoy life while you can?

Now that we've been forced into this situation, we have no choice but to rise up in rebellion.

"How did it come to the point where even living has become a luxury...?"

Chen Bei chuckled to himself as the scene before him began to blur, accompanied by a slight ringing in his ears, and countless white dots crawling in front of his eyes.

She jumped out of bed, rummaged through the drawer, and took the tranquilizer.

After a long while, this state gradually faded away.

"If this happens in a critical moment, he'll be ruined."

Chen Bei was drenched in sweat; this had been the case ever since he unlocked the first gene lock.

He was qualified to participate in the cryogenic chamber project, so he couldn't possibly have any diseases, and his physical condition was much better than that of ordinary people.

However, after the first gene lock was unlocked, he did not feel any enhancement, except for a brain disease.

He went to the hospital in the No. 1 downtown area for a checkup, but they couldn't find anything wrong and only prescribed some sedatives.

Chen Bei lay down heavily, forcing himself to fall asleep.

After a long while, a transparent figure rose from Chen Bei's body, as if it had been peeled off.

The transparent silhouette first appeared as a human, then as a hominid, then as an Australopithecus...
