Chapter 878 Digging Deeper for Clues (asking for monthly tickets)

After getting in the car, Gu Ji remained calm, thinking about the next response strategy in his mind.

The car drove slowly towards Bentwall Air Force Base. The atmosphere in the car was depressing and no one spoke along the way.

After arriving at the base, Gu Ji was taken to the office.

Unexpectedly, both Holt and Brian were there, sitting around the desk, looking grim and serious.

Seeing Gu Ji coming in, Hott immediately stood up, put his hands on the table, and stared at him intently.

"Ms. Sahana, where have you been? You've been missing for the past few hours, and our investigation has been disrupted."

There was obvious dissatisfaction and questioning in his tone.

Gu Ji had already thought of what to say on the way here, and he spoke slowly:

"My apologies, sirs. I was on my way to the library when I realized that I was being followed by your people. I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to get away from them and be alone.

Later, I went to an underground market where there were many strange things. I thought I might find clues related to hallucinogenic drugs, so I spent more time there. "

Holt snorted coldly, "What useful clues can we get in a place like that where all the good and bad people are mixed together? You'd better not lie to me, Ms. Sahana!"

Meeting his gaze, Gu Ji shrugged and made up a lie with a sincere look on his face.

"Of course, I did make some discoveries in the underground market. There is an information dealer there. He said that some unidentified people have been asking about a special drug recently. It is very likely that it is the hallucinogenic drug we are looking for!"

Holt frowned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he was surprised by his answer.

Brian listened for a while, as if trying to determine the truth of his words, and finally took the initiative to speak:

"Our people also found a new type of drug circulating on the black market this afternoon. It is said to have a strong hallucinogenic effect and can interfere with a person's memory. However, this drug is extremely rare and the production method is strictly kept secret."

Gu Ji's heart moved. He didn't expect that the lie he made up would come true.

So he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Can we follow this clue and find the person who made this medicine? Maybe we can find the real culprit behind it!"

"It's not that easy. We are already investigating, but the other party is hiding very deeply."

Brian shook his head.

Gu Ji also knew that a person who could kill two witnesses silently under the noses of the military and the police would never be caught so easily.

Holt leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temple.

"Okay, you can go back and rest for now, but remember one thing, don't disappear again. As long as our cooperation is not over, the supervision on you will not be lifted!"

"I see."

Gu Ji turned around and left the office. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw several soldiers whispering about something not far away. When they saw him come out, they immediately shut up.

It seems that after this escape, he has been closely monitored by the military. If he wants to make any big moves again, he must be more cautious.

Back in the room, Gu Ji lay on the bed, looked at the ceiling and began to think about his next plan.

He must make good use of every opportunity within the limited time to obtain more information about the mysterious sphere and Bakken.

After all, this original top-secret intelligence from 1952 is not something that can be easily obtained in the real world.

in the following days.

Gu Ji has been under military surveillance at the base.

Because it had been agreed before the cooperation that he would not participate in the competition for the mysterious object, but needed to know all relevant research information.

So Gu Ji found opportunities to go to the laboratory several times.

It’s a pity that, whether the black triangle is really too complicated or the military is deliberately hiding it, Professor Chris’s research has not made any new progress.

but.

After a few days of hard work, Holt and Brian had a clue.

They found some informants who had connections with the black market, and through coercion and inducement, they finally learned a key piece of information: this hallucinogenic drug last appeared in a secret trading place in London.

After a difficult tracking and investigation, they finally found the secret trading place, which was an abandoned warehouse surrounded by secret sentries.

Hott and Brian had a brief discussion and worked out a detailed raid plan, and Gu Ji was allowed to join it.

late at night.

They led two teams of soldiers and approached the warehouse quietly.

Following Hott's order, the soldiers quickly rushed into the warehouse and controlled everyone inside before they had time to react.

In the warehouse, watching the gangsters being pinned to the ground by the soldiers, like shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

Gu Ji always felt that something was not right.

Because it all happened too smoothly.

Logically speaking, there is no reason why someone who dares to interfere in a military project would be taken down so easily. At least he should have received some news.

"Captain, this is the drug they are trading."

The soldier, with his military dog, easily found a black briefcase.

Holt and Brian opened it and took a look.

There were five glass tubes placed inside, each filled with a small amount of golden liquid.

"Why do I feel like it looks familiar?"

"This is the radioactive fluid extracted from the sample of the mysterious object in the laboratory!"

Just as Brian hesitated to speak.

Gu Ji suddenly gave a firm answer.

Holt frowned.

"you sure?"

"Confirmed, the color and texture are exactly the same as the sample I saw in the laboratory!"

Gu Ji finished saying this.

The muscles on Hott's face twitched uncontrollably, and it was obvious that he was unable to suppress the anger in his heart.

As the only person in charge of the military confidential area, he saw confidential samples that were only available in the laboratory on the black market outside.

This is enough to prove that there is a traitor in the military secret area, who is secretly transferring materials originally used for research and selling them step by step.

"Take it back and confirm it first!"

Hott forced himself to calm down and handed the box to his men.

However, just as they were about to interrogate these people and find out who was behind it.

Suddenly, the soldier's military dog ​​began to bark a few times inexplicably at the corner of the warehouse.

Gu Ji, who often dealt with poisonous stingers, had his eyelids twitched.

"No, run quickly!!"

"Boom!"

As a result, the words just fell out.

A flash of fire suddenly appeared in the corner, and the violent explosion created a gust of air that instantly engulfed everything in the warehouse.

Fire splashed, bricks and stones flew, and the soldiers were caught off guard by this sudden change, and screams rang out one after another.

Holt and Brian's faces were full of fear and anger, but in the blink of an eye they were knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion.

Fortunately, Gu Ji reacted quickly enough.

The moment he shouted, he relied on his extremely high central nervous system reflex instinct to rush to the shelf next to him and protect himself with his body.

The air was filled with dust and thick smoke that made it almost impossible for him to breathe, and the sounds of explosions and objects collapsing continued to fill his ears.

It took a lot of effort to wait until the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided.

Gu Ji stood up coughing, and saw that the warehouse was in a mess. The gangsters and soldiers who were still alive just now were now lying in a pool of blood, their lives unknown, and some were groaning in pain on the ground.

"Help, help me..."

When he heard the noise, he immediately picked up a Sten submachine gun from the ground and held it in front of his chest.

Then they carefully searched for the source of the sound in the ruins, and found Holt, who was seriously injured, under a pile of bricks and stones. Brian was lying not far away, his life or death unknown.

Gu Ji dragged Hott out from under the bricks and stones with great effort, while keeping an eye on his surroundings and checking his injuries.

Suddenly, his ears moved subconsciously and he heard several footsteps outside the warehouse.

Gu Ji's nerves tensed up in an instant.

He quickly grabbed the Sten submachine gun in front of his chest with his left hand, put his index finger lightly on the trigger, squatted slightly, used the collapsed shelves beside him as cover, stared at the warehouse door with eyes as sharp as a hawk, and caught every slight movement with his ears.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and his attention was focused to the extreme.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared at the door, looking stealthy.

Gu Ji did not hesitate, quickly pointed the gun at the shadow and shouted: "Don't move!"

The dark shadow was stunned at first, then quickly turned sideways and hid behind the door frame.

Almost at the same moment, Gu Ji pulled the trigger, and the Sten submachine gun spurted out flames. Dense bullets hit the door frame, splashing sparks.

The other party was not to be outdone. He pulled out a pistol from behind the door frame and fired back in the direction of Gu Ji.

The bullet flew past the corner of Gu Ji's clothes, bringing up a gust of wind.

While the other party was changing bullets, Gu Ji quickly moved his position and went around from the other side of the shelf.

He hunched over, his steps were light but firm, his eyes always fixed on the door.

At this time, two more black shadows appeared at the door and joined the previous people. The three of them spread out in a fan shape and advanced cautiously into the warehouse.

Gu Ji took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing. He knew that he had to take the initiative, so he seized the opportunity, suddenly stood up, raised his submachine gun and fired at the three people.

The other party quickly lay down and looked for cover to hide.

One of them tried to flank Gu Ji, but Gu Ji turned around and fired several shots at the man. The man was unable to dodge and was shot in the chest, falling to the ground.

Seeing this, the other two attacked even more fiercely.

They began to take turns covering fire, trying to suppress Gu Ji's safe area.

However, Gu Ji relied on his rich combat experience to constantly change positions and cleverly increase the combat distance.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, he suddenly discovered that one of them stepped out of the corner cover while changing bullets.

So Gu Ji pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A bullet whizzed out and hit the man's foot accurately. He screamed "Ah" and knelt down on the spot, and the gun in his hand fell to the side.

Gu Ji quickly fired two more shots.

Just then, there was a noisy sound of footsteps and vehicle engines outside the warehouse. It was the military driver who brought them here.

When the two figures heard the noise, they immediately helped each other up and ran away.

Gu Ji originally wanted to chase after them, but when he thought about the uncertain lives of Holt and Brian, and the unknown number and force level of the enemy, it would be easy for him to get into danger if he followed them alone, so he gave up the chase and returned to Holt.

But I saw that this guy's leg was pierced by a sharp stone, blood was gushing out, and there were many abrasions on his abdomen. The situation was very critical.

"Hot? Hot!"

While slapping the guy's left cheek, Gu Ji tore off a corner of his clothes and tried to bandage him to stop the bleeding.

"Well……"

Just as he was tying it tightly, perhaps the pain stimulated his nerves and made Holt wake up. He subconsciously reached for the pistol at his waist.

But he was held down by Gu Ji.

"it's me!"

Huo Te looked at him for a few seconds with a lingering look in his eyes, and his tense muscles gradually relaxed. "Ahem... Quick, report to the base..."

"Don't worry, I've already notified the driver."

The first step for Gu Ji to reunite with the driver was to have the two of them report to the base using the in-car communications.

After all, he was not sure when the enemy would come back with his men.

After dealing with Hott, he checked on the unconscious Brian and confirmed that he was still alive, then carried both of them to the military vehicle.

In no time.

The police and backup forces arrived separately, and were all shocked when they saw the tragic situation inside the warehouse.

After all, there hasn't been such a serious fight in London for a long time, not to mention that the attacked party was the elite combatants from the military district.

Gu Ji briefly explained the situation to the officer in charge, and then Holt and Brian were lifted into the ambulance and rushed to the nearest hospital for treatment.

He wanted to stay and check out the scene together.

Because he was in a hurry to save people, he did not have time to check the explosives in the warehouse, nor the enemy who attacked him and was killed by him.

Unexpectedly, the officer in charge stopped Gu Ji outside the cordon and claimed that the case was of great importance and no one, including himself, could get close.

Gu Ji took another closer look at the soldiers entering the warehouse.

He found that they all had the same feeling as the military scouts who had been following him a few days ago.

It seems that the military intelligence agency took action.

There was no other way. Without Holt and Brian, Gu Ji had no one to support him, so after completing the interrogation record, he could only take a ride back to the base.

Sitting in the office, Gu Ji was not idle.

He knew very well that the explosion and attack were no accident.

It was obvious that the other party had known about their operation for a long time and deliberately found some low-level thugs to lure them into the trap, and then used the remote-controlled bombs that had been buried long ago to take them all away in one fell swoop.

if so.

This insider was able to secretly take out laboratory samples and also had access to the military's secret action plans, so his position in the base must be very high.

Gu Ji carefully reviewed the battle situation tonight.

The scenes of the man in black fighting with him flashed through his mind like a kaleidoscope.

"and many more……"

He suddenly frowned.

If the bomb attack was carried out by an insider who wanted to silence someone in order to protect himself, then Hoth was right next to him at the time and should have been shot and killed.

But the enemy automatically ignored Hott and kept attacking him.

Could it be that……

This attack was directed at me?!
