The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 232 Jiangchuan's location locked! All troops mobilize!

Chapter 232 Jiangchuan's location locked! All troops mobilize!
Song Chen was sitting in his office organizing information.

After such a drastic change, headquarters needed a leader to oversee operations. Mr. Zhou still hadn't returned, and the bodies of the high-ranking officials were being removed, so this heavy responsibility naturally fell on Song Chen's shoulders. The massive number of casualties reported from various laboratories and working groups left Song Chen overwhelmed.

His secretary also died in the chaos, but he had no time to grieve; he had to pull himself together and deal with the situation at hand.

dong dong dong.

There was another knock on Song Chen's office door, and without waiting for him to speak, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

Song Chen assumed it was another new death report.

But he soon realized he was wrong.

The visitor spoke anxiously:
"Old Song, how is the situation in Yanshan?"

"What's the situation with my brother Cao Zhigang and those kids in Jiangchuan now?"

Song Chen then looked up and saw that it was Cao Zhiqiang who had entered.

I didn't expect you to come all the way from Qing City...

However, Song Chen hadn't had time to process the questions Cao Zhiqiang had raised.

However, Song Chen himself knew that the situation in Yanshan was clearly extraordinary.

However, he couldn't find a solution for the time being.

The main reason is that the barrier cannot be opened.

The item controlling the barrier has been lost.

Although it's possible to guess that it's in Lu Bin's hands, Lu Bin's exact whereabouts remain unknown.

Furthermore, signals from within the Yanshan barrier still cannot be transmitted.

The team originally in charge of this signal acquisition project had mutinied, changed the signal frequency band, and locked the signal analysis... Decryption would then take time.

Song Chen lowered his head again, processing the documents in his hands while telling Cao Zhiqiang everything in detail.

Cao Zhiqiang asked, "Isn't there any other way to break the barrier?"

"The sooner we rescue them, the greater their chance of survival..."

"Mr. Song, please think of a solution."

Song Chen put down his pen and pondered for a moment.

He tapped his forehead with his pen, then shook his head: "There's nothing I can do."

"wait."

Cao Zhiqiang was unwilling to accept this answer: "Think about it again!"

"I can take people to the other side of the barrier, as long as there's a way to break it!"

Song Chen sighed and then said, "The barrier will naturally dissipate in a while, why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you have nothing to do, you can go help out in other groups and clean up the trash in my office."

Clearly, Song Chen didn't want to waste any more time on this matter.

Cao Zhiqiang could understand, but he was unwilling to give up.

He thought for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang lowered his voice and said, "We are all very clear about Jiang Chuan's situation."

"If Lu Bin makes a move inside the barrier, then his target is undoubtedly Jiang Chuan."

"Jiangchuan's importance is beyond doubt. For both reason and emotion, we should open the barrier as soon as possible."

Cao Zhiqiang's words left Song Chen feeling somewhat helpless.

He certainly knew what Cao Zhiqiang was trying to say, but the barrier couldn't be opened without the "key," and even if he was anxious, he couldn't change the situation.

Song Chen said, "Jiang Chuan is certainly important. I've already had people start looking for Lu Bin's location."

“If his target is Jiangchuan, then wherever Lu Bin is, Jiangchuan is definitely there.”

In front of Song Chen, Cao Zhiqiang's thoughts were practically transparent. After hearing Song Chen's explanation, Cao Zhiqiang remained motionless in front of the desk, his expression incredibly complex, yet he didn't know how to speak.

Song Chen glanced at him, then added, "If you're concerned about your brother, you can go to the planning team now to check on the situation."

"Once they decrypt it, you'll be able to contact the area inside the barrier."

"The satellite data is being processed, and we can confirm the security issues before it is decrypted."

After saying that, Song Chen waved his hand, signaling that the guests should leave.

After hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang's expression became somewhat complicated.

He opened his mouth several times as if to ask, but each time he hesitated and stopped. All the complex emotions in his heart ultimately boiled down to a simple nod: "Okay."

……

Time passes minute by minute.

Cao Zhiqiang, Zhong Huahua, and others waited in the training program group for the technical team to crack the code.

His enormous bald head stood out prominently in the busy office.

Feng Xiaobo's body had already been removed, and although the surviving members of the planning team were still working, their expressions were, of course, quite grim.

The death of someone they spent every day with left them in a deep and sorrowful state of mind.

However, there was no time to reminisce; we had to get back to work immediately.

No one could have imagined that such a major crisis would occur at headquarters.

The atmosphere was heavy, but Cao Zhiqiang had no time to care about their feelings.

He was trying his best to control his anxiety, but he inadvertently asked about the time too many times.

"Isn't it over yet?"

"I see this progress bar has finished."

The tech team member shook his head: "There are at least three more progress bars like this."

"The other party is quite skilled. He didn't intend to encrypt it completely; he just set it up to prolong the time it would take to crack it."

Zhong Huahua asked, "Can't we use another method to crack the password?"

The technical team member said, "It's not that easy."

Zhong Huahua remained silent, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Cao Zhiqiang also noticed Zhong Huahua's impatience. As the teacher of Class Two, he knew Zhong Huahua's personality, but the anxiety she was showing was something he had never seen before.

It seemed that wisps of spiritual energy were emanating from her body.

Although Cao Zhiqiang didn't think his student was any dangerous, he still tried to reassure him:
"It'll be okay."

"Since the other party needs Jiang Chuan, he must still be alive."

Zhong Huahua nodded and didn't say anything more.

At this moment, a figure walked in through the door of the planning team's office and quickly approached Cao Zhiqiang.

The visitor was Ai Zhe, who relayed the satellite information he had previously obtained from the technical team to Cao Zhiqiang:
"Jiang Chuan is not inside the barrier."

"Teacher Cao's injuries are serious; the satellite images don't show the specifics..."

"The technical team said that there might have been a beast tide inside the barrier..."

"All members of the Gansu City organization were killed, and there are other bodies whose identities have not been confirmed."

"The other team members are still alive."

"..."

"Mr. Zhou's battle with the unknown expert is still ongoing."

"They wouldn't let me take pictures, but that's roughly the situation."

"Many other members of the technical team are confirming the movement path of the person who took Jiang Chuan away."

"The airport where he landed by helicopter has been confirmed, but the route he took after leaving the airport is difficult to determine."

"But the other side has excellent counter-surveillance capabilities, and we won't be able to get any information for a while."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned at Ai Zhe's words.

So Jiang Chuan wasn't inside the barrier after all?

Where did Lu Bin take Jiang Chuan? How is my brother now? We can't confirm if he's alive or dead.
The identities of the other corpses could not be confirmed. These corpses must have been the people Lu Bin brought with him, right?

Cao Zhiqiang, who was already anxious, became even more anxious after learning this news.

Zhong Huahua asked, "Where is the tech team? How do I get there?"

Ai Zhe was taken aback, and then told Zhong Huahua the route.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Huahua immediately turned and left.

……

On the other side, Liang Cheng and Tang Songming were still in the technical team.

Tang Songming's expression remained calm, but the speed at which he waved his fan betrayed him.

Liang Cheng, contrary to his usual self, said, "Stop shaking it."

"The more I shake it, the more annoying it gets."

Tang Songming paused for a moment, then folded his fan with a clatter, but unconsciously started tapping the table with it again.

Before them was a huge floor-to-ceiling screen displaying a map of Yanjing. At this moment, densely packed path lines and nodes had already been generated on the map, and they were increasing in number as time went by.

Looking at the path information being analyzed, Liang Cheng gritted his teeth: "There's just too much."

"How long would it take to find that?"

Tang Songming remained silent, looking up at the paths while rhythmically tapping his fan on the table.

But a different voice rang out beside them:
"Perhaps we need to change our approach to the search."

The two looked at the person who had spoken, a young man wearing a temporary work permit just like them.

Tang Songming asked, "What do you mean by that?"

The man said, "Path analysis makes it very difficult to determine the direction; it would be better to have people search for it."

"Whoever took Jiang Chuan away, he always had helpers."

"We might find some clues by listening to those people."

Just then, a woman's voice came from behind them: "Who? Who are you looking for?"

Zhong Huahua was standing behind them.

Before the young man could speak, Liang Cheng asked first, "And who are you?"

The young man said, "I am Liu Shuo. I had a few meals with Jiang Chuan at headquarters."

"Let's not talk about me yet..."

Liu Shuo looked at Zhong Huahua behind him and, seeing the anxious expression on the girl's face, said, "We should be able to get some clues from the drivers of the vehicles that left the airport a few minutes after the helicopter landed."

"You can start from this point."

Hearing this, Zhong Huahua nodded.

Just as Zhong Huahua turned to leave, she heard an extremely unexpected exclamation from inside the office:
"Information has come from the base in the suburbs of Beijing: the last signal location in Jiangchuan has been confirmed!"

"It's... a location signal sent by Professor Xu Shan!"

The specially made phone card that Xu Shan gave to Jiang Chuan unexpectedly played its destined role at this moment.

When everyone was at their wits' end, it pointed out the way!
Immediately, a bright red dot flashed on the map on the floor screen!
That's a location near the Jingzhimen Gate of Yanjing!
Looking at the location of this point of light, it overlaps with a simulated path!
Everyone was stunned.

The first to react was Liu Shuo: "Quick, get ready! I'll go with you!"

The sound startled everyone awake.

The entire office sprang into action.

Song Chen and Cao Zhiqiang learned of this news one after the other.

Most of the Class A4 and Class B personnel stationed at headquarters at this time participated in the search and rescue operation. Even Song Chen put down his pen and walked out of the office again.

Xia Xiangyang, a member of the Ministry of War's Second Division who was awaiting orders and preparing for action, also joined the search and rescue operation.

That's where the signal was lost, after all.

Although it can be confirmed that Jiang Chuan is in that area, his exact location still requires a large number of people to search for.

But all of this was not just for rescuing Jiang Chuan...

They are the culprits who caused this enormous tragedy.

Lu Bin must be brought back!
At this point, only one hour remained before Jiang Chuan was killed.

……

Qingdao No.1 Middle School.

Shen Jing was called to Liu Yuyu's office.

"Your relatives are here to see you; they're at the school gate right now."

"Go quickly and come back soon."

Shen Jing was a little confused, but considering that his mother had been extremely busy with work lately, she probably came over to give him some last-minute instructions.

However, when she arrived at the school gate, she did not see her mother as expected. The middle-aged man in a suit standing at the school gate was obviously not a relative, but he was smiling and waving at her, appearing extremely enthusiastic.

"Shen Jing!"

Looking at the other person's warm and friendly expression, and seeing the deep look on their face as if they were pleased that "this child has grown up so much," Shen Jing felt that the other person was indeed her relative...

But no matter what he did, he couldn't remember who the other person was.

However, upon reaching the school gate, witnessed by the gatekeeper, the man spoke first: "Shen Jing, long time no see."

"The last time I saw you..."

"We're still in Chang'an."

Upon hearing this prompt, Shen Jing immediately began to recall what he had seen and heard during his trip to Chang'an after graduating from junior high school.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember who this man was.

Shen Jing wanted to tell him honestly and apologetically that he hadn't remembered his name, and he did indeed choose to do so.

But just as he looked at the other person's warm smile, the words he was about to utter suddenly stopped.

At this moment, Shen Jing's eyes slowly widened, but his pupils contracted slightly.

Chang'an...

haven't seen you for a long time?

"Long time no see" refers to... 1400 years!?
This man is...

"Teacher...teacher..."

Shen Jing was so excited and shocked that he stammered as he spoke.

However, he was interrupted by the man before he could finish speaking.

It seems the other party doesn't want too many people to know his identity.

He laughed and said:
