Chapter 272: On Huwangling
Sangsite listened carefully as he finished his introduction, but he was in no rush to offer an opinion; after a slight nod, he then looked at the investigation report Willis had brought.
A report spanning dozens of pages, most of the content of which he had already seen before; so, although the report was substantial, it only took Sangsite about ten minutes to flip to the final page.
After quickly finishing the investigation report and closing it, he gently pinched the bridge of his nose, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I have finished reading the report, Willis. You did a very good job."
He picked up his coffee and took a sip; the coffee, which had cooled down quite a bit since earlier, did not cause Sangsite any discomfort.
Or rather, his attention was no longer on that cup of coffee.
"There is no need to continue investigating International Genetic Technologies. The military's satellites have conducted a comprehensive scan of Nublar Island; I never expected that this company had actually resurrected those prehistoric monsters that should have gone extinct tens of millions of years ago. The government has already begun sending people to make contact with John Hammond, and we have even stepped in to discuss the dinosaur issue on Nublar Island with the Costa Rican government..."
A strange light flickered in Sangsite's eyes; the United States government had originally intended to search for a suspicious alien spacecraft that had allegedly landed in the waters near Nublar Island, but they had unexpectedly stumbled upon Professor Hammond and his International Genetic Technologies, two big fish.
Since International Genetic Technologies could even resurrect dinosaurs that should have gone extinct tens of millions of years ago, the cloning and biological genetic technology they possessed was clearly extraordinary.
Not only were the United States government and the politicians on Capitol Hill salivating over this, but even the military's secret Laboratory had filed a report, hoping to obtain some of International Genetic Technologies' advanced genetic and biological technology.
Seeing that Professor Hammond had become such a hot commodity, Sangsite naturally would not ask for trouble by letting the CIA block someone else's path to wealth.
Besides, the CIA had also discovered new clues waiting for them to continue their pursuit!
"If the words of Daqi shao xiao are not false, then we can basically be certain that at least one alien creature has already landed on Earth in a spacecraft. However, whether the spacecraft is still on Nublar Island, or hidden somewhere in the nearby waters or even on the seabed, these are no longer matters we need to be responsible for... The military has already begun organizing seabed search and salvage teams, and the government will also send others to take over the subsequent search on the island..."
Sangsite pulled two files from the documents, which recorded 'Ada Wong' and 'Sun Cheng' respectively, and handed the one for 'Ada Wong' back to Willis.
"Focus on investigating Ada Wong. I just looked at her file; a Chinese-American student who has been in the United States since birth, lived in the United States for over twenty years, and is a graduate of a prestigious domestic university—not only is her employment information fake, but there is also no health, medical, or transportation information to be found. This woman definitely has problems..."
"Yes, sir!"
Willis stood up quickly, took the file for 'Ada Wong', and responded.
Sangsite looked at Sun Cheng's file again, "A Chinese person, huh..."
After bowing his head and pondering for a long while, he put the file away again.
"Let our people in China also take action; verify the information regarding this young Chinese man, as soon as possible..."
"Yes, sir! Give me two days..."
"I'll leave it to you..."
On the other side of the ocean, the attention of the world's largest intelligence agency was about to fall upon him.
However, Sun Cheng did not yet know that he had been targeted by the CIA.
The previous night, because he was overly excited, he had stayed up until past two in the morning before going to bed; when he woke up the next day, the sun was already blazing high outside the window.
Rubbing his eyes and yawning as he climbed out of bed, Sun Cheng asked the empty room, "What time is it now?"
Just as his voice fell, a mechanical voice—one cold, one slightly soft—sounded in the room simultaneously.
"Master, it is currently 11:47:32 AM on May 19, 2016."
Needless to say, the cold male voice came from Vengeance, while the slightly soft female voice came from Xiao Wu.
"Is it already this late?"
Hearing this, Sun Cheng's spirits lifted.
In the last few days, his schedule had been packed; there were a pile of things in the real world that he needed to handle.
Getting out of bed with nimble movements, Sun Cheng quickly finished washing up, took a portion of vegetarian pasta he had bought from the supermarket to be lazy, tore open the packaging box, took out the sauce, placed it on a plate, and heated it in the microwave for a while.
After finishing his breakfast and lunch, which finally made his stomach feel less hungry.
After giving Vengeance a few instructions and telling it to watch the house, he took Xiao Wu, changed into his outdoor gear, locked the door, left the apartment, got into the domestic pickup truck from the underground parking lot, and drove quickly toward the three mines he had anonymously purchased in the outskirts of Xixia District.
Driving unhurriedly along the way, he did not forget to take a detour to a gas station and, as usual, bought a few barrels of diesel to load into the truck.
It wasn't until nearly an hour after setting off that he drove into the mountainous area on the outskirts, and not long after, he arrived at the foot of the mountain.
As usual, he parked the pickup at the foot of the mountain, inside the construction site originally built by Hongyuan Group.
After carefully patrolling the surroundings to ensure he was not being followed, Sun Cheng took out a backpack containing a gas mask and some other items, slung it over his shoulder, and then nimbly picked up two barrels of diesel from the truck and walked into the mountains.
Base No. 1, located at Huwangling, had been under construction for some time since work began.
Every time he returned here, Sun Cheng could feel new changes.
It was precisely because of this that he felt even more deeply about the capabilities of the industrial robots—the substitutes for the Decepticon Workers that he had created on a whim in the world of 【Transformers】.
During the day, considering the growing drone market in the country in recent years, he worried that someone might be bored enough to come here to play with drones and accidentally film the working Workers.
Therefore, Sun Cheng had already reset the behavior of the Workers; during the day, the Workers' main operations would be inside the mountain of Base No. 1.
Only at night would they perform other operations in the Canyon outside the mountain, which was not very wide.
He had just carried the oil barrels and approached the foot of the mountain.
Sensing a light clattering sound coming from the low-lying area near the mountain, Sun Cheng's heart stirred, and he carried the two barrels of diesel toward the place where the sound came from.
