One was also pulled out of the waste oil separation pool. It was covered in black grease and landed on the runway, leaving a human-shaped outline.

In about five minutes, the number of people jumped to 3800, and the figures flying up from all directions below the town gradually thinned out.

"Oh dear, is that all?"

"Aside from those who ran ahead of time, this should be about right."

"Here it comes! The big truck is here!"

About ten minutes later, the second group of sprinters arrived.

The people who came this time were dressed in a relatively uniform manner, mostly wearing dark green or khaki-colored field uniforms.

Figures flew in from all directions of the town: the intersection on the east side, the fork in the road on the south side, the sentry post deep in the rubber forest, and an inconspicuous barracks a few kilometers away.

The tidal device's numbers jumped rapidly past 4500.

"Holy crap! There are over 700 armed men involved in telecom fraud alone?"

Someone quickly posted a newly unearthed internal organizational chart of the local armed forces in the comments section.

The barracks number was circled in red, and the label read: "Since 922, this unit has provided armed shelter to three industrial parks around Mengka Town, charging a 'management fee' based on a fixed percentage of the parks' gross profit."

Several other military officers directly held shares in the park and participated in profit sharing by registering shell companies in the names of their relatives.

Then someone posted a screenshot of a surveillance video showing a raid by Myanmar police a few months ago: several police cars were blocked at an intersection by a convoy of pickup trucks, and people in camouflage stood behind barricades with standard rifles. The police made a few phone calls in the car and then turned around and left.

"The Myanmar police aren't completely inactive, but the problem is, how can they work in a place like this?"

About twenty minutes later, the third group of people landed at the airport.

The appearance of this group was quite different from the previous two groups. Most of them were dressed in formal attire, shirts, trousers, and leather shoes. In this hot weather, some of them were even wearing ties in a standard way... In short, they had non-standard villain faces.

"Who are these bastards?"

"do not know."

"Honestly, in such a formal setting, they don't even bother to hold up their ID cards and introduce themselves!"

No problem. The locals don't recognize it, but there are locals here too!

Someone typed out a string of Burmese characters, followed by a long string of exclamation marks.

AI and human translation are rapidly being put into operation: Isn't this someone from the power bureau?

Then, one name after another was posted: from the Immigration Bureau, the Police Department, the Tax Bureau, law firms, and so on...

“This person works at the Yangon Business Registration Office. He handled all three shell companies under the name of Wohushanzhuang. My uncle waited four months to apply for a shop license in Yangon last year, but he only took one day to set up three shell companies in the park.”

“I can understand the immigration bureau and the business bureau, but the police bureau… weren’t the police in the video just now forced into this situation?”

"Maybe they're not from the same police station?"

"Tch, why can't it be the same police station? You think I don't have to pay my respects if I don't come here to cause some trouble?"

"Damn it...you have such a dark way of thinking..."

"Believe it or not, this tiny, crappy country has a hundred times darker thinking than I do!"

One person succinctly summarized it: No wonder the park has been open for so long; there are people from top to bottom.

At this time, the data scanned by the tidal equipment showed that the total number of animals arriving at the airport had reached 5200.

After about thirty minutes, the numbers continued to increase, the sources gradually became more diverse, and the clothing became increasingly varied.

A middle-aged man wearing a bathrobe landed on the track with only one slipper on his foot and the other barefoot.

A young woman wearing yoga pants and a sports vest, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, was holding a towel with the logo of a gym in Hanoi printed on it.

There was a young man in pajamas, holding a toothbrush in his hand, with toothpaste that had just been squeezed on and hadn't been spread yet.

The identities of these people were gradually revealed.

"The person wearing pajamas owns three apartments in Kuala Lumpur, all purchased with cash."

"Yoga pants are really something! They have seven offshore companies under their name, specifically for providing offshore accounts for the industrial park."

"Don't let his inability to even afford a pair of slippers fool you, he owns two villas in Bangkok alone, and drives a Maybach!"

Around the same time, videos of people floating in the air began to appear in large numbers online, ranging from Bangkok and Singapore all the way to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing, and even sporadic footage in New York and London.

A programmer in Shenzhen.

He works for a technology company, where his main job is backend maintenance for cross-border e-commerce, and his side job is providing server hosting and domain name registration services for three parks in Southeast Asia.

His GitHub repository contains a private project with a complete set of phishing website templates and source code, ranging from "Security Verification of a Certain Bank" to "Abnormal Package of a Certain Express Delivery," with UI designs even more sophisticated than those of legitimate apps.

……

Police officer of a fast-track team in Shanghai.

Having worked at the immigration management window for six years, he can retrieve anyone's entry and exit records in half a minute if the park needs to check them; if someone needs to be restricted from leaving the country, he can do so with just a couple of clicks in the system.

The cost of each message ranged from several hundred to over a thousand yuan. Over six years, his bank statements showed an additional down payment for a local school district property.

……

A shift worker at a city-level data center of a certain telecom operator.

When an international call lands in China, the operator's system automatically adds a marker prefix to the caller ID.

This prefix determines whether your phone displays "international scam" or "legitimate call".

Over the past two years, his employee ID number has changed the prefix of nearly 20,000 overseas fraudulent phone numbers from "international fraud" to "legitimate call".

Each number incurs a fixed "marking fee" every month.

20,000 numbers.

Two years.

……

Deputy head constable of the express police station in a county-level city in northern China.

The photo was taken by a security camera at the entrance of the town's supermarket a few minutes before he was taken away. He was squatting on the steps eating ice cream, not wearing a uniform, but wearing shorts and flip-flops. He looked no different from any other middle-aged man in town in the summer.

The task he handled was simple: helping people in the park check their household registration information.

Information such as who has money, who has an elderly person living alone, and who has just sold a house and has some cash on hand flows out from his computer, into the Excel spreadsheet of the park's operator, and finally into a series of precise payment calls.

……

An information broker in Beijing flew up while his computer screen was still lit, displaying an Excel spreadsheet.

Each row in the table corresponds to a person: name, age, occupation, marital status, whether they have searched for "investment and financial management" in the last three months, and whether they have recently visited gambling websites.

This spreadsheet was created by this little genius himself, and the data came from all sorts of sources, including data scraped from social media platforms, data bought from express delivery waybill vendors, and data exchanged from 4S store sales staff.

Xiaotiancai cleaned, categorized, and tagged this data, with one price for "newly divorced single women," another for "retired cadres with savings," and yet another for "college students who want to make quick money."

……

In a village in southern China, a rural woman in her fifties was squatting in the yard feeding chickens when she was taken away, with half a handful of corn kernels in her hand.

The part she was responsible for had the lowest technical content, but it was extremely important.

She is the middleman in the village who is responsible for collecting cards. The elderly people left behind in the village give her their unused bank cards and phone cards, and she collects them for tens of yuan each and then sends them to the border.

……

Someone posted a screenshot of one of Fei Ge's social media accounts.

The profile picture shows a middle-aged man standing on the beach with his arms around two children, both of them smiling contentedly.

The introduction reads, "Love life, cherish family."

The latest update features a picture of steamed grouper with the caption "Having a meal with my wife and kids."

He only has a profession and never flaunts it in front of outsiders.

Money laundering for the industrial park.

--------

In about 45 minutes, the total number of animals that arrived at the airport reached 6500.

Netizens speculate that, including the creatures still in the air and not yet arrived, the number of people directly involved in the telecom fraud industry, as well as those indirectly involved in aiding and abetting the crimes, has already exceeded 7000 in this one park alone!

That's right, this bloodsucking chain clinging to Da Yang... is just as colorful as it gets.

If we add up all the scattered telecom fraud dens throughout Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and other countries, the total number of people involved could very well exceed 300 million!

What a terrifying number!

"Even if Doflamingo carried an entire airport, he still couldn't fit all these beasts inside."

174 100万

It was getting late, and having collected information on the nearest telecom fraud perpetrators, Zhang Qiliang didn't wait any longer and piloted his "real aircraft carrier" straight to the next stop.

The next hideout is very close, Tenglong Industrial Park, no more than 10 kilometers from Mengka. Zhang Qiliang could fly there in less than a minute.

As usual, upon arrival, Zhang Qiliang raised his hand.

Construction waste piled up in Tenglong Industrial Park and several scrapped trucks around the town floated up, and together with the scraps left over from Mengka Sky Ladder, they were dismantled and reassembled in the air. Soon, a second sky ladder extended diagonally down from the edge of the runway and landed on the open ground outside the main gate of the park.

Tenglong is comparable in size to Mengka, and there has been a long-standing exchange of personnel and subcontracting of business between the two. They have been closely monitoring the aircraft carrier's movements for some time.

The ladder was completed, and before the sound of metal deformation had completely faded, the workers who had been waiting eagerly rushed up.

Nonsense... Quedeguai has already launched a long-range causal chain attack. If you just stay put, it's hard to say whether it will be beneficial or not, but given his personality, being captured in mid-air will definitely not be a better outcome!

With full cooperation, the collection of personnel was very fast. Within about twenty minutes, all the employees who were willing to go on their own... or rather, those who had time to go on their own were already on the runway.

This time, Zhang Qiliang did not activate the merit banner; the plane took off directly from the airport.

The third stop was Xinbaili Entertainment City, less than five kilometers from Tenglong. The signboard read "Entertainment City," but in reality, its business of telecommunications fraud far exceeded its gambling business.

The third ladder to heaven.

The fourth stop was Cangsheng Agricultural Science and Technology Park, which, despite its name, is an agricultural investment park but is actually the largest telecom fraud base in the area. It has its own helicopter landing pad and its population is nearly twice that of Mengka.

The fourth ladder to heaven.

Fifth stop, sixth stop, seventh stop...

Baihe Mansion, Wangzhe Red Mansion, Baisheng Science and Technology Park, ASEAN Digital Economy Industrial Park, Xinjinding Industrial Park, Hengtong International Trade City, Yonglilai Hotel...

Everywhere there was a grand and imposing entrance, and at each entrance there was a brand-new ladder hanging down from the runway.

Within a radius of no more than 30 kilometers, there are a total of eleven fraud zones.

As more and more elevators connected to the abandoned airport were built, people were able to ascend at an increasingly faster pace. The entire journey to all the subsequent areas took only about an hour.

At this point, it was already 5 p.m. According to the tidal equipment, the total number of people standing on the several runways of the abandoned airport had exceeded 8!

It's worth mentioning that all of the above-mentioned industrial parks are under the Bai family's name!

It is worth mentioning that this is only a quarter of its parks. At its peak, it had more than forty parks of this size!

It is worth mentioning three times that even though they have been repeatedly targeted and cracked down on countless times, and even though Interpol's red notices are plastered all over the company registration pages in these parks, they still manage to sprout up new operators, new scripts, and new GOIP equipment like mushrooms after rain.

After completing his reconnaissance of the Kokang region, Zhang Qiliang headed towards Wa State, then Mong La, and then towards Muse...

Around 7 p.m., the summer sky was already getting dark, and the number of people standing in the abandoned airport had exceeded 20.

After the Kokang cluster was cleared out, it was time to move on to the Myawaddy cluster in eastern Myanmar.

This is another major focus: KK Park, Asia Pacific New City, and Golden Tripod Times Square. These parks have a much lower density than those in northern Myanmar, but their individual scale is much larger. KK Park alone has hundreds of buildings, which is equivalent to ten of the Bai family's.

More than two hours passed, and it was late at night. Zhang Qiliang had collected more than 50 people's information.

After another half hour of cleanup, we flew around scattered areas such as Tachileik, Dangyang, and Mengxiu, bringing the total number of participants to over 65.

As for Myanmar, large-scale telecom fraud dens have been completely wiped out.

Standing at the edge, Zhang Qiliang raised his right hand again, his five fingers slightly spread.

The merit banner is activated.

This time, what floated up over the airport was not a faint halo.

A total of 650,000 causal lines were simultaneously drawn, and the halo was as dense as a torrential rain pouring back from the ground to the sky.

Gray, dark red, dark green... different karmic forces intertwined, surging from everyone's shoulders, backs, and palms, converging into a sky-covering fog that churned and spun above the runway.

Inside the fog, countless fine lines intertwine densely. Every transfer, every fraudulent phone call, every hiding place, every resold bank card, and every piece of citizens' information sold by 650,000 people are all visualized as threads emitting a dim light, searching for, connecting, and entwining with each other within the fog, forming a vast and suffocating network of cause and effect.
