15 Undercurrent _ 1

Qin Ming originally wanted to ask Si Xiangming some questions, but unfortunately, this person was as fast as the Gu siblings. He didn't have time to ask.

Boom!

At this moment, another explosion suddenly sounded from afar. It was the same sound as when the modified person self-destructed.

It was obvious that other cyborgs had been forced to self-destruct.

These lunatics were completely fearless of death. In a sense, such people were the most terrifying.

A helicopter that was still flying in the sky suddenly exploded as if it had been attacked. Fragments of its wings fell off. The pilots inside were clearly doomed.

The chaos in the city had intensified, and the impact was getting greater and greater.

Qin Ming had never seen such a scene since he went to school in Shanze City.

Meanwhile, in a large research laboratory in a southern district in Shanze City, the doors and windows were shattered as if they had been blown up. Glass shards were everywhere.

Some black smoke drifted away from the lab.

A rather young-looking man was walking slowly out of the laboratory.

He was wearing the same black trench coat as the modified people who were wreaking havoc in the North Street District. His leather shoes made a soft sound as he stepped on the glass shards.

He took off his hood, revealing a mop of yellow hair. There was a smug smile on his lips.

With a small white metal box in his other hand, he walked out of the laboratory unhurriedly and left quickly.

Bong!

After returning to his residence, Qin Ming closed the door tightly. The familiar nest in front of him made him feel much more at ease.

He searched on his phone. Indeed, people were all discussing this vicious incident.

The residents who lived in Shanze City, especially those who lived near the school park, were panicking.

That day, the police department's phones were ringing off the hook.

The two chemical factories were destroyed. A total of ten serious explosions occurred near the school area, causing heavy losses. Hundreds of people were injured.

The city mobilized a large number of guards and only managed to control the situation by nightfall.

Donge Clock Tower.

This was one of the iconic buildings in Shanze City. It had a total of 120 floors and was also the highest architectural attraction in the city.

At this moment, at the top of the tower, that old man in the black trench coat was standing there, looking down at the entire Shanze City.

Those night-black eyes were deep and unfathomable.

The evening breeze lifted the hem of the old man's shirt.

Behind him stood several mysterious figures in capes and black trench coats.

Tap tap tap.

At that moment, the yellow-haired man slowly walked up the stairs.

"How is it? Did you get it?" The old man was not surprised to see the person.

"Yes, don't you trust me? However, there's no way a local laboratory can stop me," the yellow-haired man said with a smile and a relaxed expression.

"That's good." The old man smiled when he saw the metal box in the yellow-haired man's hand. He nodded gently.

He continued to gaze into the distance.

He was looking at the place where the last cyborg had self-destructed in despair.

A group of police officers were busy processing the scene. Si Xiangming was among them.

"I heard that Gu Hong and Gu Tao also came to Shanze City. A few of the Experimentals were killed by them." The yellow-haired man said as he approached.

Seeing that the old man only smiled, the yellow-haired man continued, "They should be looking for you, right? I remember that Gu Hong is from the National Security Bureau. Is there a problem?"

"What could go wrong? I only want this experimental report. Since we've already obtained it, it's time for us to leave this place. Let them continue their investigation," the old man said, his expression still very calm.

He was someone who had been through a lot. No matter how big the problem was, he could face it without batting an eyelid.

"What about the homeless people?"

"They've been taken by our people," the blond replied.

"Okay, then let's go," the old man said and walked to the elevator on the top floor. The few people behind him immediately followed.

Clang!

The bell on the tower rang out. It was midnight.

That night, most of the higher-ups in the city stayed up all night.

"So the research report on bone mutation was also stolen?" the deputy mayor asked after listening to the report.

"Yes, it's very likely that their goal is this research report. As for the unrest caused near the school park, it's probably just to distract us so that they can steal it."

Si Xiangming sat on the sofa in his office and analyzed the situation.

"What about the chemical plants? The real culprit who destroyed the two chemical plants should be this group of people, right?" The deputy mayor continued to ask.

"Yes, the chemical plants might have what they need, or it might just be a distraction. They must have a complete plan behind them to carry it out," Si Xiangming said.

"Then how should we catch the mastermind behind this vicious incident? We've still found nothing so far. We don't even have a clue," the deputy mayor said unhappily, emphasizing his words.

"At this point, we can only investigate using the clues from the cyborgs," Si Xiangming shook his head and said helplessly.

The deputy mayor glanced at him and said, "Cyborgs? Didn't those modified people already self-destruct? How are we going to investigate?"

"Well, this time I talked to a member of the Security Bureau who came from above. This incident seems to be related to a case they're investigating, but because it involves mission secrets, he didn't reveal much to me. I don't have the authority to find out what his mission is."

Si Xiangming explained as the process of talking to the young official appeared in his mind.

"But now that this vicious incident has caused us major losses, I need to know who did it!" The deputy mayor said angrily, unable to control his emotions.

Clearly, he was rather unhappy with the Security Service officer's silence.

"Then only you or the mayor can ask about it personally. In any case, in my position, I won't be able to get any more information." Si Xiangming shrugged, indicating that his official position was too low.

"Hmph, alright. Then bring him to me. I want to see what kind of mission he's on. It's so important that even I can't know." The deputy mayor snorted.

He felt that as the person in charge, he was definitely qualified to know more about the situation that had caused such a huge impact in Shanze City.

Just as Si Xiangming stood up to invite the person over, the phone in front of the deputy mayor's table suddenly rang.

It was the mayor of Shanze City.

"What? The National Security Agency is in charge of this incident and we can't interfere?!" The deputy mayor picked up the phone and his expression changed slightly.

"Don't ask too many questions. This is the decision of the higher-ups. Hurry up and make arrangements. Restrain those media outlets. Don't let them report anything. Understand?"

The mayor's exhortations came through the phone. He had no choice but to do as he was told.

"It seems that it's not as simple as we thought," Si Xiangming said.

Clearly, there was no need for him to invite that official over.

After the deputy mayor hung up, he closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, try to do as you're told. Gather everyone for a meeting."

"Okay." Si Xiangming nodded and walked out of the office.
