Chapter 1452 The Only Clue
Before a black tide completely swallowed her consciousness, the female doctor tried to resist desperately.
However, she immediately felt ten thousand electrified steel needles ruthlessly pierce into her entire spine.
Several thousand bolts of lightning flowed through her central nerves and into her limbs and bones, controlling every strand of muscle fibers and every cl.u.s.ter of nerve endings. It made her instantly lose all mobility, including the ability to blink. ‘How is this possible?
‘Is this guy really a ghost? When did he get behind me and cause me to instantly lose all ability to resist?
‘Who is he? Who is he?!’
The female doctor’s hair stood on end.
She made a prompt decision and gave up the thought of resisting.
She poured the last of her strength into her heart.
Then, she tried to control her heart, getting it to beat at a rate of more than two hundred beats per minute.
There was a special chip installed in the inner wall of her chest, which could collect her physiological parameters anytime and anywhere.
It did not even matter if she was in prison, in a desperate situation where she could not even move her eyelids or fingers.
As long as she could still control her breathing, heartbeat, and the movement of her gastrointestinal tract, she could use this special chip to send a distress signal without anyone knowing
A master like her could even control her heartbeat as she wished. She could send a large message in a way similar to tapping Morse code to let her companions know more about the situation she was facing.
However, the female doctor soon found that there seemed to be six iron walls around her heart.
Her heart was still beating normally.
It was as if everything was under her control and she was not being attacked. Instead, she was doing what she was best at.
Her consciousness could not penetrate her heart!
The female doctor’s heart literally sank to the bottom.
She wanted to grit her teeth and break the biochemical poison hidden in the root of her teeth.
However, she could no longer control her jaw bone and bite muscles. Tears, snot, and saliva flowed down uncontrollably.
Her soul was clear, but her body had become an airtight iron coffin. No matter how much her twisted soul screamed hysterically in her body, there was not a single sound or movement. Not even the slightest abnormality in her physiological parameters could be leaked out to alarm her companions.
The last thing the female doctor saw was Meng Chao’s emotionless face hidden behind a thick layer of blood.
She wanted to glare at Meng Chao and let this mysterious person, who had appeared out of nowhere, know just how terrifying an enemy he had provoked.
However, when Meng Chao’s gaze swept over her body, her soul could not help but tremble and curl up to its limit.
She was too familiar with that gaze.
It was a gaze that she possessed when she looked at the guinea pigs on her experiment table.
Only then did the female doctor realize regretfully that she was not capable or worthy to be the other party’s “enemy.”
From the start, she was just a tool, a chess piece that the other party had played!
Meng Chao gently tapped the female doctor’s forehead.
Her eyes were instantly shrouded in a thin layer of mist.
Her heartbeat, breathing, body temperature, and even the frequency of her brain waves were all the same as when she was awake.
Yet, without Meng Chao’s permission, it was impossible for her to send any information to the outside world, including her brain waves and abnormal heartbeat.
Then, Meng Chao searched through all the bits and pieces that the female doctor carried with her.
As expected, other than a few generic gene reagents and syringes without labels, there was no other information on the female doctor that could prove her true ident.i.ty and secret mission.
Nevertheless, there was a very hidden scar below her left chest.
The scar had been repaired with the most advanced cell regeneration medicine, so it was impossible for the naked eye to recognize it. Meng Chao had to also rely on the Reaper’s extremely delicate sense of touch before he could barely feel it.
Following the scar, Meng Chao touched the chip implanted in her chest.
After pondering for a moment, he quickly realized what it was.
He could not help but secretly rejoice that he had chosen the right tactic.
Whether it was to directly kill the female doctor, or remove all her joints but keep her awake so that he could interrogate her further, it was not a big problem for Meng Chao.
The problem was that an uninvited guest had spontaneously ignited while under Meng Chao’s control.
Meng Chao did not dare to take the risk.
He could only make the female doctor lose consciousness for the time being and maintain her normal physiological parameters.
Although he could not interrogate her for information, he could at least save one crucial clue.
Meng Chao looked at the portable crystal communicator on the female doctor’s wrist.
He did not take off the communicator rashly.
Instead, he injected spirit energy into his eyeb.a.l.l.s, making them crystal clear in the darkness like night vision goggles. Then, he focused his attention and scanned the crystal communicator three times from the inside out.
As he expected, he found a few devices on the crystal communicator that seemed to be out of place as if they had been embedded later.
Another light thread, which was thinner than hair, extended out of the crystal communicator and pierced the female doctor’s wrist. It seemed to connect with her nerves and veins.
The almost transparent light thread was made of a material that did not reflect any light. The slightest carelessness would make it unnoticeable.
If a simple and crude method was used to forcefully tear off the crystal communication device from the female doctor’s wrist, this extremely fragile light thread would definitely be torn off.
Obviously, once that happened, not only would it be impossible to unlock this communication device, the female doctor’s companions would also be the first to notice the abnormality in her body.
Fortunately, Meng Chao had a clear understanding of the enemy’s work practices long ago.
He helped the female doctor lift her wrist and open her eyes. Then, he scanned her iris to unlock the address book.
It was a crystal communicator that was almost brand-new.
The address book and memory were all clean.
There was only one contact that had been called recently.
Under the contact, there was just a bare string of numbers.
There was no information such as “Boss”, “Captain”, or “Leader” that could possibly be used by others.
Moreover, Meng Chao dared to guarantee that if he continued to look into the number, the number he would eventually track down would not be an ignorant child who was barely eighteen, or a hooligan who had been fooling around in the Lair all day long, he would often be so drunk that he did not even remember his own name, or a middle-aged man who was absolutely innocent but had once logged into a website that he should not have logged into, thus allowing his ident.i.ty to be stolen.
“What should I do?
“Although I managed to stabilize the female doctor’s physiological parameters so that those on her side won’t be suspicious for the time being, this female doctor has to contact the owner of this number or her other accomplices once she’s ‘dealt’ with the ‘unlucky fool.’
“If I can’t find the owner of this number within half an hour, her side will definitely sense that something is wrong. “At that time, I’ll lose the trail again!”
Meng Chao’s mind raced.
He gently placed the female doctor on the stretcher andtook a deep breath.
Then, like a sharp black arrow, he shot out of the container.
His surroundings were still in chaos. Although the storm had gradually subsided and Meng Chao had temporarily blocked the flood peak, no one could say for sure whether the rain would become heavier and the scattered flood would gather again.
The window period was not easy to come by. Other than the medical staff who were busy taking care of the injured, everyone else had been a.s.signed to move building materials, build dams, dig drainage channels, and search for survivors in buildings and mines.
Everyone was exhausted. Their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears were blocked by the rain and mud. Naturally, they would not notice that a Deity Realm powerhouse had pa.s.sed by them like black smoke.
Meng Chao soon found an empty office. When he left the office, he not only changed into a protective suit with the Universe Corporation logo painted on his chest.
He also learned the list of Universe Corporation’s management who were stationed in that mining area, including the “safety post responsibility list.” He also memorized the “mining area construction map” hanging on the wall and learned the distribution of key areas and buildings in the crystal mine.
Meng Chao’s eyes pierced through the curtain of rain and scanned the entire mining area. He also increased the sensitivity of his cochlea to the maximum, not letting the slightest hint of movement slip by him.
Half a second later, he rushed toward the noisiest place in the southeast, which was not the medical station.
It was a temporary place where construction materials were stored.
Dozens of shirtless, strong men, who had the height of tigers and the waist of bears, were carrying a heavy object that was seven or eight times heavier on their shoulders and staggering forward.
A middle-aged man, who was also shirtless and tough but covered in scars and had his right arm amputated, was standing at a high place and commanding the rest loudly.
Meng Chao rushed forward.
“Where are President Shen and the others?”
Before he could greet them, he spoke directly to the middle-aged man, his face appearing twisted. “Something big has happened!” The middle-aged man was confused.
He looked at Meng Chao’s face, which was covered in sweat, blood, and mud.
Then, he looked at the Universe Corporation’s mark on Meng Chao’s chest.
Then, he sensed the extremely urgent spirit waves from Meng Chao’s body.
He asked subconsciously, “President Shen and the others are on the dam. What happened?”
Meng Chao’s eyes followed the direction in which the lean men were marching and carrying construction materials on their shoulders.
He could vaguely see that in the northwest direction of the crystal mine, a few super mining carts and plenty of construction materials had been used to construct a rather spectacular temporary dam at the entrance of the valley.
Once the flood rushed into the valley, this temporary dam would become a vital lifeline. According to Dragon City’s rules, the crystal mine’s management would of course have to stay there and live and die with the dam.
