Last time, Gu Zhenting asked Gu Fengchun to go to the W Bureau to find him immediately, and hung up Gu Fengchun's call very neatly. Gu Fengchun knew that his father would only call him once in the year of the monkey. The last time Gu Fengchun
When Zhen Ting called him, Gu Fengchun could no longer remember that if there was nothing special, he would send him thick notes every month or two. When he was in a good mood, he might also write to him.
Letter. But there was no exception in the letter. Except for a few short greetings, the rest almost all talked about the progress of his archaeological work. Gu Fengchun did not dare to neglect. He was not unaware of Gu Zhenting's temperament. He had always been calm.
You are steady and would not speak to him in such a hasty tone easily.
This is the second day after Gu Zhenting returned to W Bureau.
one day ago.
News about the second archaeological team has gradually surfaced. In the entire second archaeological team, two people became lunatics due to mental trauma. The team leader Xu Menghai disappeared, and the bodies of the others were all found. Gu Zhenting has been following ancient tombs and the dead all his life.
However, after seeing the remains of the members of the second archaeological team, he could not hold on for less than ten seconds before running outside the freezer and vomiting violently.
The whole body of the deceased was rotten, but the eyes were intact. The eyes were wide open with anger, and the look of death was shocking. The hair fell completely off, but the nails inexplicably grew more than ten centimeters. The chests of all the corpses seemed to have been broken by sharp weapons.
It felt like it had been gutted, and the internal organs inside were completely missing. Although he wore a thick mask, the strong rancid smell made people feel inside. Gu Zhenting couldn't bear it all of a sudden.
Xie Haidong stood behind Gu Zhenting and said with a grimace: "Zhenting, you have already made up your mind. When these corpses were brought back yesterday, the two doctors responsible for the anatomy fainted, so so far, we
We just finished dissecting a corpse; I didn’t want to disturb your work, but the situation is urgent and someone must take over some things..."
Gu Zhenting shook his head, took a deep breath of fresh air, and asked: "Where is Xu Menghai, is there any news about him?"
Xie Haidong shook his head and said gloomily: "Not at all. Just like some people before, the same thing happened in that place again. Haven't we made any progress in the past decades?" Xie Haidong sighed.
, murmured: "The latest technology, the best personnel, but the result is still the same..."
Gu Zhenting was shocked. From Xie Haidong's words, he already knew what happened. He asked in a trembling voice: "The bureau has restarted Project 001? Didn't they have an accident?" Gu Zhenting had just returned,
Before I had time to ask what happened to Team 2, the whole story of Project .001, all the core members of W Bureau knew that this was the ultimate research of W Bureau, and every task revolved around it, but they did not dare to cut into this easily.
There have been activities in the past to carry out practice at various locations, but the results all ended in tragedy. Therefore, the W Bureau no longer took risky actions on this project rashly, but adopted a step-by-step approach. Unexpectedly, half a year ago, this ultimate action was again
It's turned on.
The expression on Xie Haidong's face was a little weird, and he answered after a while: "Yes, this project was restarted half a year ago. This was not my decision. Xu Menghai was the person in charge at that time." Xie Haidong spread his hands and lowered his voice.
: "Some people are no longer willing to wait, they would rather take risks." Xie Haidong looked helpless.
Gu Zhenting's face twitched: "It's not in vain that we ask our people to die! In the past few decades, haven't many people died?" Gu Zhenting was very angry.
Xie Haidong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Our W Bureau was originally established for this project. Although the scope has expanded over the years, the ultimate goal is still to prepare for the 001 project. It is normal for people to die."
"But the current conditions do not allow us to conduct further research! We cannot afford to lose so many elites!" Gu Zhenting got angry and said angrily: "The ancient books record the Weeping Blood Spring, Linglong Yin, Samsara Seal, and Guizangdian
, what are these, we don’t know yet, how do we know what kind of things will be there?” Although Gu Zhenting is usually very serious, he rarely loses his temper. He continued: “If the 001 project is the ultimate goal,
So now we bypass the only way and directly cross all the clues and premises to do the most dangerous one. That is not to fish for the moon in the water, but we will get nothing except unnecessary losses!"
Xie Haidong nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead. As the top person in charge of Bureau W, this was the first time he was scolded by his subordinates. However, Gu Zhenting's words were irrefutable in both emotion and reason. For a moment,
He didn't know what to say. Xie Haidong cleared his throat and said calmly: "I can't help but make the decision on this matter now. You have worked with me for more than ten years. You know my style of doing things, but the order has been
I couldn't help but bear with you, so you have to bear with me. I want to tell you something that will cause you more headache. After the discussion and negotiation above, you are already the person in charge of the 001 project. Take a look at this. This is the appointment notice given to you by the above.
." Xie Haidong took out a document from the folder he carried with him and handed it to Gu Zhenting.
Gu Zhenting took it and opened the envelope. The content on it was as follows: "Due to an accident in the 001 project, the person in charge 8502 (code name) is currently missing. After discussion and research, it was decided to appoint 8501 (code name) to be the host of the new project and responsible for the 001 project.
All daily work. This letter of appointment takes effect immediately, June 2009." Gu Zhenting sighed and asked: "When was this order issued?" There was no specific date on the document.
Xie Haidong smiled bitterly and said: "At three o'clock this morning, their work efficiency has always been very high."
Gu Zhenting said helplessly: "I just don't want to go to Lop Nur again before I have fully unearthed all the mysteries. I must agree to this request, and I need more time, otherwise, I won't
It doesn't matter if I die if you accept this project, but all the dozens of people under me have relatives."
"I can't promise you this, but I will give you a period of time, at most, half a year at most." Xie Haidong gritted his teeth and said.
"Yeah." Gu Zhenting nodded. Suddenly a thought came to his mind. He said to Xie Haidong: "I have a few more requests."
Xie Haidong looked at Gu Zhenting, frowned, and said, "You tell me." Gu Zhenting seemed to have too many demands. In fact, the members of Bureau W could not resist accepting their fate, and Gu Zhenting also knew this.
There are rules, but Gu Zhenting knows that if these conditions cannot satisfy him, Project 001 is in his hands, and it will just send another group of people to die.
"I need to retrieve all the information about Project 001 from Archives No. 3." Gu Zhenting said word by word. Archives No. 3 stores countless top-secret information. Even Xie Haidong in the W Bureau
He has no authority to order the information to be obtained from it. Xie Haidong owns part of the password and key, and the other part is controlled by members of the core government department.
"This is simple." Xie Haidong said without hesitation: "You can call these at any time. Do you have any other requirements?"
"I still need someone, but he does not belong to our Bureau W. I also want him to be involved in Bureau W because of this matter. He must promise me that I will not interfere with his freedom regardless of whether the task is completed or not."
"This..." Xie Haidong's face was a little ugly, but in a blink of an eye he knew who Gu Zhenting was looking for. Besides his son Gu Fengchun, who else could make Gu Zhenting so worried? "Okay,
As long as he abides by the confidentiality agreement, that's no problem." Xie Haidong responded loudly.
So, Gu Zhenting made the most urgent call ever to Gu Fengchun. After the call, he hurried to the archives room to pick up the files for research.
Gu Fengchun did not dare to neglect. His father's tone was so urgent. Gu Fengchun naturally knew that the matter had reached an urgent level. He immediately said goodbye to Luo Sihai.
Luo Sihai originally wanted to have a good talk with him about the pair of Kuilong jade bis, but he didn't expect Gu Fengchun to leave in such a hurry, so he had to give up. He told Gu Fengchun to come here when he had time and listen to him.
These stories. Gu Fengchun apologized repeatedly, but Luo Sihai always smiled and said it didn't matter. Gu Fengchun must take the jade with him before leaving. Gu Fengchun no longer refused.
