Chapter 129 The Traitor from the Capital
Zhou Dazhuang and several escort team members walked out of the rear cabin and were terrified when they saw the dilapidated "Orca" submarine being towed in with heavy cables.
The steel on the submarine was twisted beyond recognition, all the windows were shattered, and red blood could be seen in the cracks.
Their eyes were all fixed on the figure that stepped out of the cockpit.
Lin Chen.
No one dared to look him in the eye.
This is not respect, it is pure fear.
In a deadly situation where he was locked in by torpedoes, the man survived and even managed to destroy a military-grade armed submarine.
This skill... is beyond human capabilities.
"Boss..." Zhou Dazhuang opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Lin Chen said, "Use the best waterproof tarpaulin to cover this pile of scrap metal completely."
"The sea cave is sealed off. From now on, no one is allowed to approach without my order."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over everyone present.
"Anyone who dares to utter a single word will be spared."
"Send them directly to the authorities."
Everyone understood that being handed over to the authorities was worse than being killed.
This matter is far too serious; if it gets out, everyone involved will be guilty of a serious crime.
Lin Chen ignored them and picked up the black waterproof safe he had taken from the Black Shark's corpse with one hand.
The box weighed at least fifty pounds, but he carried it with one hand as if it were nothing.
He picked up the suitcase and turned to walk towards the innermost part of the base.
Three heavy, blast-proof iron doors were closed and locked one by one.
The underground chamber was lit only by lights, and the air smelled of sea salt mixed with the metallic rust.
Lin Chen placed the safe on the alloy worktable.
The light shone on the box, reflecting a black light.
He reached out and touched the surface of the box.
The moment he touched it, a system interface popped up in his mind.
[High Risk Warning: The box contains highly sensitive pressure sensors and a self-destruct mechanism made of strong acid. The chance of successfully opening it from the outside is only 0.01%. The documents inside will be completely burned by hydrofluoric acid within 0.3 seconds.]
[A high-frequency tracker has been detected. The signal is encrypted and it is continuously sending location information to an unknown coordinate.]
This is a complex scheme.
Either you can't open it, so let it send out a signal and wait for people to come after it.
Either you force it open and trigger the mechanism, and everything inside will be destroyed along with your hand.
Lin Chen's gaze remained unchanged.
He opened the system store.
[List of Tier 3 Shops]
【...】
[Micron-level high-frequency oscillation deconstruction instrument: By emitting microscopic oscillation waves of a special frequency, it decomposes the structure of matter without damaging it, and can be used for precision disassembly and seamless repair. Requires 500 points to redeem.]
"exchange."
A silver-white instrument appeared in his hand.
Lin Chen turned on the deconstruction instrument.
The 3D structure diagram of the safe provided by the system popped into his mind.
The location of every wire and every sensor is clearly marked.
The self-destructing wire connected to the strong acid tank was highlighted by the system with red light.
The tip of the deconstruction instrument was pressed against the seam of the safe.
Lin Chen's hands were very steady.
Micrometer-sized vibration waves penetrated it.
The three-dimensional image in his mind was peeled away layer by layer as the shockwave penetrated deeper.
I saw the pressure sensor, the tracker's power supply block, and finally, the wire.
Time seemed to slow down.
Inside the sealed room, only the soft hum of the instruments and Lin Chen's own heartbeat could be heard.
peel off.
He focused all his attention on controlling the vibration and precisely severed the connection between the wire and the detonator.
The self-destruct mechanism has been discontinued.
[Countdown: 3...2...1...]
[Countdown stopped.]
It became.
Even though he had already thought of it, Lin Chen still broke out in a sweat.
The lid of the box popped open slightly by itself.
A burnt smell wafted out; it was the odor of the strong acid that had been forcibly de-energized.
Lin Chen opened the box.
On one side of the box, a glass tank was filled with a completely sealed yellowish-green liquid.
On the other side, several documents wrapped in special waterproof bags lay there.
Next to the document, a coin-sized circular tracker was still flashing a faint red light, flashing once every three seconds.
He didn't touch the documents, but instead used a pair of alloy tweezers to pick up the tracker.
Seeing its flashing red light, Lin Chen didn't crush it.
He turned around, took a thick lead box from a cabinet, threw the tracker inside, and closed the lid.
The red light was blocked.
After doing all that, he turned around and tore open one of the sealed bags.
He pulled out an agreement that had been soaked in seawater and smelled salty.
On the cover of the agreement, there was a line written in English.
"Deep Sea Eye Asia Pacific Agency Rights and Resource Exchange Agreement".
Lin Chen flipped through the pages quickly.
The agreement details how the "Eye of the Deep Sea" organization uses commercial cooperation technology to infiltrate these channels, building intelligence networks and seizing resources in the waters of the Great Xia Kingdom.
From fishing rights for rare marine life to exploration permits for deep-sea minerals, and the covert control of logistics in certain ports.
He turned the pages faster and faster.
Finally, he turned to the last page of the agreement—the joint signature page.
When he saw the signatory section, his hand stopped.
The signature of the client is that of "Black Shark," the Asia-Pacific head of "Eye of the Deep Sea."
On the other hand, the two names were written side by side, with an official seal affixed next to them.
The first name: Han Jianguo.
Official Seal: Han's Heavy Industry Group.
Lin Chen understood.
No wonder Han Jianguo was willing to extort money from him rather than sell him the special titanium alloy.
He's not just a businessman; he's part of "Eye of the Deep Sea."
He wanted those titanium alloys so that his master could build more "Orca" ships.
Lin Chen rubbed the three characters "Han Jianguo" between his fingers.
However, when his gaze fell on another name next to Han Jianguo's signature, he froze.
That signature is Huo Jingyun's.
Lin Chen was familiar with this name.
Old Master Huo once said that this was the most outstanding young man in the collateral branch of the Huo family. At such a young age, he was already managing a portion of the Huo family's overseas investments, and Old Master Huo valued him highly.
But now, his name appears on this agreement alongside Han Jianguo's.
The Huo family in the capital... actually has a mole inside them too.
He realized that this matter was bigger and deeper than he had thought.
Just then, a strange noise interrupted Lin Chen's thoughts.
He looked down and saw that the tracker he had put in the lead box had started flashing wildly again, ten times faster than before.
The red light penetrated the lead layer.
[WARNING! Tracker remotely activated by an unknown signal source!]
[Signal mode has changed to: Death Sentence!]
At roughly the same time, Lin Chen's private cell phone, which was in his pocket and had the highest level of encryption, vibrated.
It was a text message from an unfamiliar Beijing number.
Lin Chen clicked on it.
The message was very short, just one sentence.
"Mr. Lin, the game has only just begun."
Huo Jingyun.
