Siheyuan: At the beginning, I can integrate everything!

The smokeless coal in the stove was burning brightly.

Chen Bing's breathing was even and deep, and he slept soundly in the recliner.

Zhang Huaimin slid down from his arms quietly without making a sound.

He walked up to the worktable covered with blueprints.

The little hand picked up a seemingly ordinary black metal hair clip from the table, which was usually used to hold blueprints.

"The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light; it's better to set a trap and catch the thief than to guard against him for a thousand days."

Zhang Huaimin secretly made plans in his mind.

Since Deputy Factory Director Li and that foreign agent named Sato Ichiro are planning to make their move next Wednesday.

He needs to spread this net in advance to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

With a slight thought, the system panel appeared in my mind.

"Extract the characteristics of 'future miniature super acoustic radar' and fuse the target: metal hairpin."

[Ding! Retrieving...]

[Skill fusion in progress, please wait...]

A faint, invisible blue light, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, slowly flowed from Zhang Huaimin's fingertip into the unassuming black hair clip.

A faint, extremely subtle electrical current seemed to flash across the surface of the hairpin before instantly returning to normal.

[Ding! Fusion complete!]

[Current Equipment: All-weather 3D acoustic and thermal source detection radar. Coverage range: radius of two kilometers.]

Zhang Huaimin was pleased to pin the perfectly disguised "radar" to his hair on his forehead.

"Activate radar."

The instant the command is issued.

Zhang Huaimin closed his eyes.

boom!

In the depths of his mind, it was as if a sleeping universe had been suddenly illuminated.

The entire world, at the moment he closed his eyes, transformed into a three-dimensional image composed of countless luminous lines and dots!

So clear!

Centered around a classified laboratory.

Within a two-kilometer radius, the route of every workshop, every office building, and even every sewer of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Everything, big or small, was presented in the holographic projection in his mind.

Not only that.

In this 3D image, all moving heat sources are marked as red dots of varying shades.

All the sounds emitted are converted into audio signals that can be automatically filtered, amplified, and tracked!

This is the terrifying aspect of future technology!

Zhang Huaimin tried to focus his mind on the direction of the No. 1 canteen.

moment.

"Squeak! Chirp!"

A sharp cry rang clearly in his ear, as if it were whispering right next to his ear.

There were two huge rats fighting fiercely over a leftover bone next to the swill bucket in the back kitchen of the canteen.

Zhang Huaimin could even hear the faint "clicking" sound of their teeth rubbing against their bones.

"interesting."

Zhang Huaimin's lips curled into a smile, and his thoughts shifted again, locking onto Workshop No. 3.

Inside the workshop, a slightly larger red heat source is slowly moving.

Accompanied by a burst of extremely irritable cursing:

"Damn it! I'm a level seven worker, and now I'm being made to sweep up iron filings!"

"It's all that little brat's fault! If it weren't for him, I would have been the director long ago!"

That voice, so rough and unpleasant, could only belong to Liu Haizhong, who was just assigned to clean the house.

Zhang Huaimin listened to Liu Haizhong's impotent and furious complaints and sneered.

"With such a lowly ambition, you deserve to spend your whole life shoveling manure."

He withdrew his thoughts and began a thorough scan of the entire factory area.

Under the radar's coverage.

Who's smoking in which corner? Which clerk is dozing off in the office?

Even the crunching sound of a stray cat walking across the snow outside the back wall of the office building.

Nothing escaped Zhang Huaimin's "ears" and "eyes".

At this moment, the entire Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill completely became Zhang Huaimin's absolute territory!

Any rat hiding in the shadows will have nowhere to hide if it dares to show its face.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Then came the sound of military boots clattering on the snow outside the laboratory.

"Huaimin, are you awake?"

Chen Bing pushed open the door and brought in a gust of cold wind.

He saw Zhang Huaimin sitting at the worktable, playing with a hair clip in his hand, and walked over with a smile.

"Are you hungry? I just went to the cafeteria and asked MCA to save two hot buns for you."

As Chen Bing spoke, he took out two plump white buns wrapped in oil paper from his pocket and handed them over.

Zhang Huaimin took the steamed bun but didn't eat it right away.

He raised his head, his clear eyes fixed on Chen Bing.

The smile on his lips slowly faded, revealing a sharpness beyond his years.

"Brother Chen."

Zhang Huaimin reached out and pointed to the southeast direction outside the laboratory window.

That was a blind spot in the outer perimeter wall of the factory area.

"Put the steamed buns aside for now."

Zhang Huaimin's voice wasn't loud, but it carried weight in the quiet laboratory.

"Tonight at midnight, let's get the brothers on our toes."

"The defense line in the southeast corner was deliberately left with a gap."

Chen Bing's smile froze instantly; his years of military service made him realize something immediately.

He straightened up abruptly, his right hand instinctively pressing on the holster.

"Huaimin, something's up?"

Zhang Huaimin nodded, took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, and chewed it with relish.

"yes."

"The factory has been raising fat rats for so long, and there are also stray cats from outside."

"At midnight tonight, this big fish will finally take the bait."

Chen Bing's eyes instantly became as sharp as a hawk's.

He didn't ask Zhang Huaimin how he knew. After spending time together, he had long regarded Zhang Huaimin as an omnipotent prodigy.

"clear!"

Chen Bing stood at attention and gave a perfectly standard military salute.

"I'll go make the arrangements right away. Tonight, not even a fly will be able to get out!"

Chen Bing turned around and strode out of the laboratory.

The night grew deeper and deeper.

A cold wind, carrying snowflakes, raged through the empty factory area of ​​the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

The temperature dropped to below minus ten degrees Celsius.

Even the stray cats that usually meow occasionally were huddled in a corner, silent from the cold tonight.

The clock hands ticked away, pointing to 11:55 p.m.

The area around the classified laboratory was quiet.

The two teams of guards who were supposed to be patrolling here had apparently returned to their posts early tonight to warm themselves by the fire because of the cold weather.

In particular, the section of the wall in the southeast direction experienced a defensive vacuum that lasted for more than ten minutes.

It's exactly twelve o'clock.

In the wind and snow.

Outside the southeast corner of the wall, a thin figure dressed in tight black clothes, almost blending into the darkness, stood.

Like an extremely agile gecko.

Using both hands and feet, they silently climbed up the more than three-meter-high red brick wall.

The man crouched on the wall, cautiously looking around.

After confirming that there were no patrol lights.

The dark figure leaped into the air.

Like a fallen leaf, it drifted lightly onto the thick snow inside the wall.

He lowered his body, taking advantage of the cover of night.

Like a ghost.

They crept stealthily toward the dimly lit, abandoned warehouse.
