Chapter 601: Chapter 495, Important Person
In the conference room.
Qi Hancai was seated on one side, flanked by two subordinates and two skeleton attendants for protection.
Across from them sat three people.
The middle-aged man in a black down jacket, the previously encountered Deputy Commander Liu, and a young man with a straight posture.
The middle-aged man in the black down jacket slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly.
Qi Hancai looked at him and said, “I’ve already told you, the craters and explosion traces outside were left by us attacking the factory to fight zombies, why do you keep saying we killed someone?”
The middle-aged man still said, “Before the squad went missing, they sent back a message saying there was a conflict with you.”

“I don’t understand what you’re saying, it didn’t happen here with us,” Qi Hancai insisted.
“Would you dare let us search this place?”
“Sorry, we’re not in the habit of letting people randomly search our residence.”
“You…”
With a creak,
the door was pushed open, and Wu Heng walked straight in.
Qi Hancai immediately showed delight and made room for him.
“What’s going on?” Wu Heng looked at the people opposite and asked directly.
Qi Hancai replied, “The rescue team reported that someone went missing in our area.”
Wu Heng sat down in a chair and looked at Deputy Commander Liu, asking, “How do you know we were around here?”
Uh…
Deputy Commander Liu glanced to one side and explained, “We have a squad conducting a mission nearby.”
Just speaking made his momentum seem a few notches weaker.
“Conducting what kind of mission?” Wu Heng pressed.
“Terrain reconnaissance and material collection.”
Wu Heng stared straight at him, “Why do you say it’s related to us?”
Another middle-aged man said coldly, “Before the squad went missing, they sent a message back saying there was a conflict with you.”
Wu Heng then turned to him, “What’s your name?”
“Qi.”
Wu Heng nodded and continued, “According to what you’re saying, were your people planning to attack us at that time?”
“How could that be?”
“We were attacking the factory, how could we possibly attack you?” Wu Heng addressed the middle-aged man surnamed Qi and then turned to Deputy Commander Liu, “Deputy Commander Liu, you might have fooled us once.”
Deputy Commander Liu’s eyes narrowed slightly, emphasizing, “The people really did go missing.”
“So what? Going out to collect materials, who doesn’t face danger? If your people go missing, are you going to come here and cause a fuss every time? Or do you also want to engage in looting other bases for their resources?”
“How could that be?” Deputy Commander Liu immediately said.
The middle-aged man surnamed Qi, with a gloomy face, said, “Dare you let us search here?”
“What if you find nothing?”
“If we find nothing, I’ll apologize to you.”
“What good is your apology to me? If you find nothing, I want the four armored vehicles outside. Let’s see if you dare,” Wu Heng stared straight at him.
Qi Hancai, standing to the side, clenched his hands tightly behind him.
The armored vehicles and trucks captured yesterday were parked in the garage.
They had serial numbers that could be easily identified.
“Why should we?” the other party immediately said.
Wu Heng also looked at him, “Yeah, why should we?”
“Hmph!” the middle-aged man scoffed, “Our armored vehicles are parked outside, ready to level this place at any time.”
Wu Heng stared intently at him, then allowed himself a smile.
He turned to Qi Hancai and said, “Inform Xinfu City to suspend the trade of goods with the provincial area.”
Slap~!
Deputy Commander Liu slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
He rebuked the man beside him, “Qi Anrong, apologize to Leader Wu. Who gave you the right to speak so aggressively about war, as if you have the words of a bandit on your lips?”
“You…” Seeing the other party was truly angry, the man surnamed Qi took a deep breath.
Then he said, “I’m sorry, Leader Wu. I misspoke in my agitation.”
Wu Heng waved his hand dismissively, “Alright, you all go back for now. If there are any concrete updates later, we can help you look for them, but based on the timing, their disappearance doesn’t coincide with the time we took over the factory.”
Deputy Commander Liu got up and said, “Then we’ll leave for now. As for the trade between the two cities, Leader Wu, please don’t issue any orders to suspend it. We’re making efforts to gather gold.”
“Yeah, I too hope we can coexist peacefully.”
“Then we won’t disturb you any longer,” Deputy Commander Liu said before leaving with the other two.
They walked out of the factory, boarded the armored vehicles, and gradually moved away.
Qi Hanci commented, “They brought so many armored vehicles, I thought they were going to fight us to the death.”
“Those three factions control the base, they have to consult each other before doing anything,” Wu Heng watched the departing convoy and continued, “But we also need to be careful, just in case they really do something.”
Qi Hanci nodded, then added, “By the way, we found the place where the blueprints are stored, but we can’t open the security door.”
“Let’s go, take me to see it.”
…
In the rescue team’s vehicle.
Qi Anrong’s face displayed some reluctance as he said, “Going back like this, it’s going to be hard to explain to Boss Huang.”
Deputy Commander Liu glanced at him and said, “Just tell it like it is, the chances of them being involved are slim. I think it’s better to look for clues from another angle.”
“Boss Huang has only one son, he definitely won’t let this go.”
Deputy Commander Liu stared at him coldly, warning, “It’s best not to provoke them. If it really affects the food exchange, you should know the consequences.”
“Hmph!” Qi Anrong huffed and stopped talking.
…
Wu Heng and Qi Hanci, looked up at the enormous steel door in front of them.
The words “Archives Storage Room” were clearly written on the wall beside it.
The door was made of pure metal plates, just like the ones used in bank vaults in movies.
There were two types of locks on the door.
A password lock and a keyhole.
Qi Hanci said, “Someone suggested blowing up the side wall, but we’re afraid of damaging the documents inside. I think we could wait for some tools to be shipped from Xinfu City and try cutting into it, see if we can open it.”
This kind of door, cutting and drilling, would be difficult to destroy.
Indeed, blasting from the side might be the quicker option.
Wu Heng looked at the steel door and said to Qi Hanci, “Go get me a bottle of water.”
“Oh!” Qi Hanci turned and walked outside.
Wu Heng took out the Bronze Key and directly opened the steel door.
The thickness of the entire steel door was still quite exaggerated, nearly five centimeters thick.
That could probably withstand a cannonball!
Before long, Qi Hanci returned with a bottle of mineral water.
Seeing the open door, he paused, surprised, “You know the password?”
Wu Heng shook his head, “It’s a bit hard to explain, roughly, I used superpowers to open it.”
Qi Hanci sighed, “Having superpowers must be great.”
Wu Heng took the mineral water, took a sip, and put it away.
The two entered the room together and started looking around.
The room was large, with rows of neat shelving, all full of various drawers.
Casually opening one, it contained a staggering number of blueprints.
The blueprints were indeed all here.
“There are electronic versions over here,” Qi Hanci called from not too far away.
Wu Heng walked over and saw a row of external hard drives in a separate area, labeled with different types of data.
Looking at them, they seemed clearer than the blueprints.
Wu Heng collected all the items, along with the shelving units.
It was quite a haul.
Exiting the room, Wu Heng continued, “Find a warehouse, I’ve brought some food over, so everyone can have enough to eat.”
“Great!” Qi Hanci smiled and led him to a warehouse on one side.
All the food was moved into the warehouse.
Wu Heng gave Qi Hanci a few more instructions before returning to his own room.
…
Inside the dormitory room.
Wu Heng sat waiting for a while, and Xiao Xiao flew back from outside.
She said, “Uncle, Deputy Commander Liu warned that guy not to mess with you, to look for clues in other directions. That bad old man said he’s not going to let you off.”
