Provence, which has a Mediterranean climate, is sunny and sunny most of the year. The purple waves undulating in the wind are intertwined with the rippling blue sea in the distance. The breeze mixed with the fragrance of lavender blows on your face, making people feel like they are in the sea.

It's just like a magical fantasy. If it weren't for the huge wind turbines rising from the ground, it would be difficult to tell which side is the real ocean.

Chai Shizheng stood on a small hill and looked deeply at this beautiful picture, but there was no trace of comfort or relief on his solemn face.

At this moment, in the "Garland Base" under this land, blasting experts are installing excess C4 explosives, detonators and detonators on each structural stress point to ensure that the entire base will be blasted in the next

Completely collapsed and cannot be used again.

"Report to the general, the explosives have been installed in place, the detonation device has been prepared, and the personnel have been evacuated to a safe location. Please give your instructions!" A report from the forward blasting team came from the radio in the hands of the staff behind him.

Chai Shizheng turned his face slightly. The shadow cast by the sun on the brim of his hat obscured his face, and his expression could not be seen. He could only hear him say firmly:

"Detonate."

The butterflies are enjoying the inexhaustible pollen in the lavender sea that undulates with the wind. In their short life, it is the greatest luck for butterflies to appear in such a sea of ​​flowers. However, the earth dragons and earth dragons that suddenly burst out from the ground

The high-temperature gas instantly makes them lose their biological significance before they have time to react.

The pillars of dust that were sprayed into the sky at the same time formed a huge phalanx like the Acropolis of Athens. With the rumbling vibration of the earth, a large purple ocean in the plain instantly became like a gray-black mudslide, rolling, collapsing, and rising.

In the dust, a rotating wind turbine slowly fell down.

The dust cloud that blocked the sky prevented Chai Shizheng from seeing its final gesture of falling to the ground. He could only feel its last gasp from the vibrations on the ground.

At the same time, the scattered rocks on the seaside of Dunkirk and the toppled trees in the jungles of Lorient announced to the world in live broadcasts that human beings as a civilized species have no way out.

Cao Rui was wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the tailgate of the armored vehicle, smoking a cigarette. Next to him were his clothes that had been soaked by the rain in the sewer.

A car drove over from the playground covered in dust. Zhang Jie, who was covered in stains, got out of the car, and the team members who got off with her were almost like children rolling in the mud.

Zhang Jie said while patting the mud on her clothes:

"In all the nearby sewer networks, the larger ones went directly to people, the smaller ones went to remote-controlled robots, and even the smallest ones had endoscopes stuffed inside them. Except for mice and cockroaches, nothing was found. The fences that had been erected before were also blocked.

It is intact, with no trace of damage or movement.”

At this time, Xiao Zhao walked out of the computer room that looked like an unfinished building. He took off his mask and said:

"Everything has been checked. The servers in the computer room were seriously damaged by the bombardment, but they can still be repaired. However, the people in the technical team said that they may not be able to find any valuable clues because their hacker hardware terminal has never been found."

Cao Ruiqian took a puff of cigarette and said to himself:

"How could it be? How did it disappear into the sewers along with those things?"

Zhang Jie took out some clothes from the car and handed them to Cao Rui:

"Change into it, it's too easy to catch a cold in this weather."

He took the clothes and just put them on when several Secret Service agents carrying body bags walked out of the computer room. They arranged the bags in a row on the dusty open space, seven in total.

Cao Rui and his team walked up, and he unzipped one of the bags. The person in the bag was very young, and his face looked extremely pale due to the dust shaken by the shock wave. There were marks on the corners of his eyes, nostrils, mouth, and ears.

There was a line of dark red blood.

"There are seven in total, most of them are children in their twenties. One is on the ground floor, one is on the top floor. The remaining five were found in the computer room on the fourth floor. They had no vital signs when they were found," said a special service team member.

.

Cao Rui looked at the lifeless young face and said:

"Contact the local medical appraisal agency immediately and send it there for an autopsy. Confirm the identity and cause of death, and mainly investigate trauma and toxicology. Hurry!"

"yes!"

Seeing those young people who were alive not long ago being put into bags, stacked together and loaded into the car, Zhang Jie sighed:

"Such a strong shock wave of artillery fire made us feel our hearts and lungs pounding even as we crouched underground. They were still so close..."

Cao Rui put on his coat and said with a heavy face:

"When I was looking for cooperation with the Army's artillery attack, I asked them to do a damage simulation calculation based on the structure of the building. The guy on the roof who was watching the wind probably had little chance. But the five people in the server room on the fourth floor, especially the one on the bottom floor, were watching

, it is unlikely that you will die directly from the shell shock wave."

Zhang Jie was shocked:

"you mean..."

Cao Rui turned around and walked towards the car:

"We'll know when the autopsy report comes out."

Cao Rui and Zhang Jie took a flight overnight and returned to the Secret Service headquarters. At the same time, the autopsy report from the Affiliated Hospital of the Third Military Medical University in Shancheng City was also sent to the Secret Service. Zhang Jie came to Cao Rui's office with the autopsy report that had just been printed out.

Office, he said solemnly:

"Director Cao, it's as you guessed. The person on the top floor died directly from the shock wave of the shell, and the other six people all died of cardiac arrest. Although the toxicology test found no toxic substances, the medical experts from the Military Medical University are very convinced.

The direct cause of their death was certainly not shelling."

Cao Rui looked at the seven vivid faces of Zeng Jin in the seven autopsy reports and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he turned around and took out an information bag from the cabinet. He opened the information and compared the photos and said to Zhang Jie:

"Come and see!"

Zhang Jie stepped forward and took a look, her face instantly turned pale. The corners of her mouth trembled slightly:

"Six of them were the six children we arrested for the 'Internet Ghosts' back then. At that time, we caught four and ran away with three."

Cao Rui said solemnly:

"Except for He Zhengping, everyone else is here."

Although there were no tears in Zhang Jie's eyes, her voice was a little more choked up:

"These... children... have been following them for so many years... finally..."

Cao Rui frowned, and the cigarette he was holding tightly in his hand had been broken.

At this time, Xiao Zhao knocked on the door.

"Director Cao, Director Zhou wants you to go to the dark room immediately."

Cao Rui came to his senses, threw away the cigarette in his hand and walked quickly towards the dark room that had no contact with the outside world.

Opening the door and going in, there was an older man in the room besides Director Zhou. Although he was not wearing a military uniform, he exuded an aura of calmness and authority. Cao Rui immediately stood up in a rare posture of at attention.

The elder walked up to Cao Rui, took out a medal with a bright red star and pinned it to Cao Rui's chest, and said:

"Director Cao, you have done a very good job. I won't say much more about praise. After thorough research, other leaders and I believe that although we still don't know the specific situation and purpose of the other party, your current

The direction of investigation is still very important.

However, considering the special nature of the investigation object, you still have to continue to be the lone hero, and we will try our best to cooperate with your investigation in other aspects."

"yes!"
