"Damn it! Someone tampered with our walkie-talkies?!" The fat man instantly bristled, both shocked and furious, his voice rising, "Which bastard did this?! Aning! Is there a mole among your men?!"

Ah Ning's face instantly turned ashen! The discovery by Xie Yuhua was a stark contrast to her earlier confident assertions of "intact sealing" and "no abnormalities"! This was nothing short of a resounding slap in the face to her proud team management and equipment safety procedures! A surge of anger at being fooled and betrayed instantly welled up inside her.

"Impossible!" Ah Ning's voice, coming through the mask, carried barely suppressed, icy anger and a hint of disbelief. "My people were in charge of the entire transportation and inspection process! The seals were intact! The technical inspection..." She abruptly stopped, realizing that the strongest fortresses are often breached from within. The transportation and inspection were all "her people"... If there was a problem, it lay with "her people"! This realization sent a chill down her spine.

"Where's the inspection report? The name of the person in charge?" Xie Yuhua ignored A Ning's explanations, her questions remaining calm and direct, hitting the nail on the head.

"The report is in the camp's electronic files. The person in charge is Engineer Zhao (pseudonym) from the technical team. He's been with me for three years, reliable..." Ah Ning's voice trailed off, becoming somewhat uncertain. Faced with enormous profits or even more terrifying coercion, the word "reliable" seemed utterly inadequate.

"Report...Zi...Zhi..."

Just then, the walkie-talkie in Hei Xiazi's hand started crackling with static again. Then, an extremely weak, severely distorted, and unusually flat and numb voice came out intermittently!

That voice… it was clearly Ah Ning’s voice from just now! She was saying, “Report… report, it’s in the camp’s electronic files…” But her tone was distorted and drawn out, like a cheap tape recorder, full of a chillingly malicious imitation!

Aning couldn't help but snatch the walkie-talkie and throw it hard on the ground. The feeling of being monitored in real time, and even having her words repeated on the spot, was more maddening and terrifying than any direct attack! She felt as if every word she said had been stripped bare and exposed to invisible surveillance!

"Stop using the walkie-talkie, just physically shut it down! Anyone weak? The blind man is strong, he can let the blind man destroy it." Black Bear reacted extremely quickly, pressing the power button on his walkie-talkie and roughly removing the battery!

The others also snapped out of their daze, frantically turning off and removing the batteries from their walkie-talkies. The buzzing noise almost disappeared instantly, leaving only the one that Fatty had thrown on the ground and which Xie Yuhua had dismantled, still faintly and persistently emitting a sound, like a dying moan.

Xie Yuhua handed the disassembled walkie-talkie fragments, along with the tiny chip, to Ling Xiao, wanting to see if he would react. Of course, there was nothing. He sighed and handed the items to A Ning.

"You said that the walkie-talkie incident was caused by someone, so was the sound you just heard also caused by someone?"

"I mean the coating on those stones. Maybe it's because you and Lingzi touched something before that it took effect. Maybe this thing directly reflects your inner thoughts? Like an illusion?" Wu Xie pondered for a moment before finally speaking his mind.

"I don't think so. At that time, it was as if my memory had been erased by something, but after the child's accident, my memory came back." Xie Yuhua shook her head.

"But can't that guy surnamed He do all that?"
