Chapter 48 p2
After a while, Father Guo came back and nodded at the official. He had been appeased.
If Ji Yang failed, they could still make a move. If the mission needed them, they could also be used at any time.
There were still two days before the kidnappers’ request, which meant that there were two nights to gamble.
Next, the others were asked to leave, and only a few people were left in the living room.
The official looked at Ji Yang curiously. “What’s your plan?”
Ji Yang said with some hesitation, “Actually, there are two methods. The first method, I will use the identity of the person who killed his younger brother to attract their attention, and you will sneak in to rescue. This will mainly depend on your ability. The second method is that I will go directly to the rescue. The first method is a bit uncertain whether they will still think I am from the government, which will cause more serious harm to the hostages. I personally don’t recommend it.”
The big boss, because he had not found his younger brother’s body, thought that his younger brother was not dead, but was just being held captive. If Ji Yang were to go over and tell him that she was the one who had killed his younger brother, in a good scenario, the big boss would be so angry that he would directly lead his men to hunt her down, and their attention would be diverted.
In a bad scenario, the big boss would be so angry that he would directly take it out on the two hostages, and then send another group of people to hunt her down.
The fate of the hostages at that time could be imagined.
The success rate was fifty-fifty.
The second method was relatively easier. She could use her space, go underwater, and sneak in quietly. As long as she knew where the two of them were being held, she could quickly take them away. The success rate was very high, and she would not be in danger if she failed.
But she couldn’t say how she would do it.
So, it was another matter whether this group of people would be willing.
Sure enough, after she had finished speaking, a group of people’s faces were strange. Of course, it was impossible to choose the first one. Ji Yang also thought so, which was why she had not stopped Father Guo from sending the four of them away just now.
However, the second plan was also too… sloppy.
The official smiled bitterly. “You’re not revealing anything at all?”
Ji Yang nodded with certainty. “I have my ways. If you are willing to believe me, then tell me the information over there. If you are not, then… forget it.”
Everyone: …
They were helpless and a little at a loss.
They had already been biased towards Ji Yang. She was formidable enough, and even if she was alone, she might be able to do it. However, she was not revealing any details at all, which made them completely unable to be at ease, and they did not dare to make a decision easily.
In their hesitation, the atmosphere was a little frozen. The official suddenly remembered something and got up. “We have to discuss it. We’ll notify you before tonight. You’re going to make a move at night, right?”
After getting a positive answer, this meeting was over.
They each went back to their own homes, and the official quickly returned to the government office.
He opened his computer. The government still had an internal network. He opened the personnel registration database, entered Ji Yang’s name, and a series of information quickly appeared.
Including her date of birth, her current relatives, and… different from the other registrants, there was an asterisk next to her name.
He clicked on it, and a page for entering a password immediately appeared. The official entered the common official password, and soon a page came out: [Official Resume].
The first item at the bottom was: [In the rescue operation on January 14, 2061…]
“!” the official’s heart was set.
He had not remembered wrong.
It was indeed this name.
He had just received this news a few days ago. The names with an asterisk were special talents. If a special talent marked by another base appeared here, the system would send a notification. This way, if there was anything in the base, they could be found first.
In the peaceful era, special talents mostly referred to those who had made significant contributions in the fields of scientific research and the like. But now, the standards had also changed. The government was severely short of manpower and needed to borrow the power of the public. So, naturally, there was a method of judging ordinary survivors.
In fact, according to the judgment method of Hu City, the official felt that just one mission was definitely not enough. This person definitely had other reasons to be recognized as a special talent by the government and be given a certain special treatment.
Of course, the judgment method was different for each base, and how to judge was not necessarily written on it. But after cooperating with the government, the resume would appear on it like a resume, and it would be bound to the ID card. No matter which base in Xia Country you went to, it would be useful.
Therefore, on the first day Ji Yang had appeared, the Hu City base had also received the news. But under normal circumstances, no one would deliberately go to disturb these people. Only when they were needed would they come to the door to seek cooperation.
In short—this was a government pass.
However, the flow of talent was very small now, so the official only had a little impression and had not taken it to heart at first, until today.
Looking at the situation of this girl’s last mission, he was immediately not surprised by her request this time. She was really bold and fearless!
The official pondered for a moment and took out his walkie-talkie to connect to Father Guo’s channel. “I think we can agree.”
Father Guo: “Okay!”

At night
All was quiet.
In a base with no nightlife, after it got dark, there was basically no sound. The main gate of the base would be closed at 7:30 in the evening. If you wanted to go in and out again, you would have to register.
Ji Yang took Xixi and drove her assault boat out. After registering with the staff, the small gate of the base opened, and she smoothly went out from here, quickly heading to a deserted place.
Then, she disappeared.
The person had already appeared in the pasture area of her space house.
There were no plants or animals here, only grass. It was more suitable to temporarily put something here.
Then, a submersible appeared in front of her.
This was not a submarine. Ji Yang had not been able to buy this thing, and it was also useless. The water was much more dangerous than the land. The only place where a submarine could be used was the sea. An ordinary submarine, when it encountered a large marine creature, would just be kneaded. A military one was simply out of the question.
And for ordinary diving, this submersible could completely replace it. It looked only the size of an assault boat, much smaller than an ordinary fishing boat. The space was not large either. It was just right for one person, and two people would have to squeeze, but it could also fit.
The operation of these things was very simple. After Ji Yang got in, with a thought, she appeared on the surface of the pond. When she suddenly entered the water, the hull of the boat swayed.
She pressed a button, and soon, a hatch appeared at each end, closing tightly.
Then, she clicked the submerge button.
The submersible immediately began to move slowly. The transparent glass on both sides could clearly see the water surface slowly spreading up, gradually submerging the window. At this time, out of the window, if Ji Yang wanted to see outside, she could see from the display screen in front of her.
After confirming that there was no problem with the submersible, Ji Yang flashed out of her space.
Her vision was immediately plunged into darkness.
But soon, the submersible submerged again and entered the turbid water. It only stopped when it had reached a depth of five or six meters. After confirming the location of the White Tiger Base, she quickly went over.
The accumulated water was turbid, and the visibility was not clear.
From time to time, she could still run into all kinds of bloated corpses and city relics.
There were also many various creatures in the water.
The water depth here in Hu City was about thirty meters, which was already very deep. There were also all kinds of bacteria and viruses. The various water plants and the like in the water were also developing very quickly, wrapping the originally bright and white walls and the like tightly, as if it were a real underwater world.
Ji Yang was also very careful. The quality of this boat was average. If it hit something, she was afraid of a leak.
Although she had bought more than one.
Fortunately, everything was relatively smooth. She did not dive too deep. Apart from getting a little lost, there were no accidents. But she could also find her way back after getting lost, just by taking a detour.
This group of people was stationed in Building 6. The big boss was on the twentieth floor, and Xue Yuanyang and the others were arranged on the nineteenth floor, right below him.
Therefore, if Ji Yang could successfully mix in, she could go directly to the nineteenth floor to get people.
The government officials were watching from a distance, and the snipers could also cooperate. If there was an accident, she could give a signal and have the snipers help to kill the enemy. As long as she could successfully see these two people, it was basically settled.
It was just that the water level was at the twelfth floor. Ji Yang had to climb several floors up, and the possibility of being exposed in the middle was very high.
Once exposed, Xue Yuanyang and Guo Yao would also be… in trouble.
After successfully finding Building 6, Ji Yang came to the corridor window. It was more convenient to enter from the balcony, but she couldn’t get out. The size of the main door was not enough. The corridor window, she looked at it, and the size was enough, but there was a window sill in the middle that blocked it, so she couldn’t get in either.
She was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, she remembered a place—the underground parking lot?
Ji Yang’s eyes lit up, and she quickly went to find the location of the underground garage. This time, she found it very quickly. She smoothly entered from the underground garage, and then tried her best to find the entrance to Unit 1 of Building 6. After a lot of effort, she found it according to the signs. When she saw the tightly closed glass door at the entrance of the stairwell, she was completely speechless.
What’s going on today?!
So it’s Xue Yuanyang and the others’ bad luck?
It should be. Otherwise, she had specially come to save them, but she had repeatedly hit a wall.
Ji Yang was also speechless. After thinking for a moment, she returned to the ground, found a height of about the fifth floor of Building 6, and flashed into her space. This time, she did not land in the water, but directly went to the grassland.
She first used her consciousness to wipe the dirty water at the exit, and only then did she open the door. With a thought, a fully enclosed diving suit appeared in her hand. Fortunately, she still had this thing.
The diving suit felt a bit like a spacesuit. After she put it on, her head was a light ball, and she could clearly see the situation outside.
Ji Yang quickly put it on and still went to the pond to try it out. After three minutes, there was still no water coming in. It was just that the clothes were clumsy and not suitable for moving, and could only be used for a short period of time in the water.
She returned to the outside of her space. There was an oxygen tank in the diving suit, so she didn’t have to worry about breathing.
Through the thick diving suit, a saw appeared in her hand. She began to saw at the window sill.
This time, everything went smoothly. It was just a little tiring. She couldn’t use an electric saw or an oil saw underwater. It all depended on her arm strength. She successfully sawed off the horizontal window sill in the middle, and the size was just right for the submersible to come in.
She was too lazy to change to a submersible again and directly swam up. Soon, she was near the water level. She didn’t go directly to the stairwell, but after confirming that she was in the middle of the corridor, she dared to tentatively surface.
The information given by the government was that there were also people watching on the water surface.
She carefully exposed half of her body from the water, moved her fingers. The clothes were heavy, and it was a little inconvenient, but fortunately, the design of this suit still left some flexibility for the fingers. So, she held on to the wall and slowly approached the stairwell on one side.
The water level was at the waist of the twelfth floor, and the stairs were also submerged to the waist. The people guarding here were naturally sitting on the upper half of the stairs.
At this time, the two of them were playing a game.
It was not known where they had gotten a single-player game. At a listen, you could tell that one was a matching game, and the other was Tetris. It seemed there were two people.
Ji Yang did not dare to directly show her head. After confirming that they were playing seriously, she carefully used her phone as an eye to take a photo of the situation over there. After confirming the location of the two people, she composed herself and took out a tranquilizer gun from her space.
With her space, she didn’t have to worry about these things being soaked in water.
The tranquilizer was already installed in her space, just waiting to be fired.
She didn’t dare to use a pistol. The silencer would still make some noise. A crossbow might not immediately make a person unable to make a sound. If a cry for help leaked out, she would be exposed. But the tranquilizer gun in her hand could knock down a large beast in three seconds!
“We’re done for, we’re done for! We’re going to die, we’re going to die…” one of them muttered, his voice gradually becoming smaller. At the critical moment, he didn’t even speak to distract himself.
Now is the time!
Ji Yang suddenly appeared at the entrance. She did not stir up any water. The two guards, who had not expected anyone to appear from here, were still immersed in their game. They were sitting on the top step of the stairwell, feeling that even if someone came, they would have the ability to react.
But Ji Yang’s speed was too fast.
She pointed the tranquilizer gun in her hand at one of them and quickly fired. The next second, the tranquilizer gun in her hand was replaced with a new one and fired again. The whole process took less than three seconds.
By the time the second person was shot, the first person’s eyes were wide with anger and he wanted to struggle, but he had no strength at all. He fell down in a daze and couldn’t make a single sound. The game console in his hand even gave a notification of a game failure.
