Chapter 486 Renewal
It is about 72 kilometers away from the town of Death Valley on the west side.
There is an inconspicuous town - Crow Town.
This small town used to be like other Midwestern towns in America. It had already declined under the impact of the times and was very old.
However, the construction of the Death Valley Town base some time ago has restored some vitality to the place.
Since the Death Valley Town base is a purely confidential base, there must be very few entertainment facilities inside.
The frantic Safety and Construction Administration does not even allow the base to purchase fresh ingredients internally, and can only use high-temperature processed cans, or soft cans similar to cooking bags.
The reason is also very simple, to prevent insects from being mixed with fresh ingredients and entering the interior of the base.
However, the management of the base also knows that this cannot continue. After all, even in prison, people can eat a bite of fresh fruits and vegetables. This scientific research base is more boring than being in prison. Not to mention whether the researchers can bear it, the management is the first to be unable to bear it. live.
Therefore, they requested the establishment of a special external service town to allow base staff to take regular vacations to relieve psychological pressure.
Therefore, a large number of service towns similar to Crow Town quickly sprung up around various confidential bases.
Ryan, whose scientific research project has never made breakthrough progress, took a bus with several colleagues and came to Crow Town to have fun.
In order to facilitate the staff of these bases, the town has also built many motels, and the normal consumption of these staff here can be reimbursed to the base management department.
After drinking a few beers at the bar and smoking some leaves, Ryan wandered off to the motel next door to get high.
The exciting music was mixed with roars.
Ryan vented all his depression over the past few days.
Then he fell into a deep sleep.
He fell asleep, but something didn't.
It's quiet at night.
Ryan woke up in the middle of the night due to the need to pee. He pushed the blonde away from him in a daze, and then he went to the bathroom to drain the water.
After putting out the water, he returned to the bed in a daze and lay down on the bed.
Suddenly, his body seemed to be turned over by something, but there was no reaction and he was still sleeping soundly.
His mouth was opened, and after a while, a worm crawled out of his throat.
The investigators in the holographic invisible state, through the worm, obtained what Ryan said and heard for nearly a month, as well as various images seen by his eyes.
The investigators then opened Ryan's eyes and implanted a genetically recombinant nematode egg into his body.
Although the FBI and other America's confidential systems will conduct full body scans, especially brain scans, on all people involved in confidential missions.
But that doesn't mean everything is seamless.
The field division of Homo Sapiens Company updated its secret-stealing technology some time ago.
The new technology mainly uses parasites to steal secrets. Genetically recombined special nematodes are implanted into the eye sockets, disguised as muscle lines, and connected to the visual neurons of the eyeballs.
The special nematode itself can record the surrounding sounds, and by connecting visual neurons, it obtains the shared content of the host's vision.
Since the nematodes themselves are very hidden, the special nematodes that have been genetically recombined are even more hidden. Unless the body is cut open and checked bit by bit, it will be difficult to detect the existence of the special nematodes through imaging equipment.
Obviously, it is not realistic at all to cut open the body and check it bit by bit.
After all, these are living people, not gross teachers in forensic teaching.
And the cost of doing this is also very high, not just one or two people, but millions of people.
Therefore, performing imaging tests every time he enters and exits is already the limit of what can be done inside America.
Although means such as safe houses have blocked the field division's insect monitoring, the FBI has obviously ignored another issue, and that is people themselves.
Through genetically recombined parasites, they are directly implanted into the target's body. No matter how powerful the safe house's anti-insect measures are, it is useless. After all, all work must be performed by humans.
As long as the host is parasitized by a special nematode, what the host says, hears, and sees will also be recorded by the special nematode.
At this time, the investigator was recovering the nematode in Ryan's body, and after reading the data, the investigator maintained the holographic stealth mode and left the room quietly.
A busy night.
Investigator Columbus has left the town and is currently in the forest southwest of the town.
Since the FBI is gradually investigating the bodies of civilians in North America, the investigators of the Field Division have all given up their normal disguises and lurked, and have instead switched to lurking in wilderness survival mode.
In other words, Columbus was a black man in North America at this time.
North America is vast and sparsely populated, especially in the Rocky Mountains, where there are large areas of uninhabited land and mountain forests.
Columbus returned to his temporary camp, a small cave.
He picked a bunch of leaves and pine cones and stuffed them into the digestive aid sac on his back. This was his breakfast.
For a special investigator like him, this kind of life of eating grass and bugs is a common occurrence.
Especially the special environment of the Death Valley Town base. It is surrounded by desolate areas. In a few small towns, the locals are all familiar acquaintances.
Recently, the FBI has used the Internet to require all cross-border personnel to provide their itinerary QR code to the local FBI management station to confirm the scope of their activities and the purpose of their itinerary.
In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, Columbus simply avoided entering human settlements and chose to lurk in the wild.
The advantage of this kind of wild lurking plan is that it is almost impossible to be discovered.
The downside is that you can only eat grass and insects. If you are lucky and can encounter an area with rich wildlife resources, that will be better.
Where Columbus was at this time, there wasn't much vegetation around except for some drought-tolerant pines and cacti.
He can only collect leaves, pine cones, and cacti as food. Fortunately, he has a digestive auxiliary sac and can eat grass without malnutrition.
Inside the cave.
As soon as Columbus returned, he saw his partner Anna who was sorting out the surrounding insect monitoring data.
"Is there nothing wrong?" Anna asked.
Columbus sat on a rock: "No problem."
"That's good. By the way, the headquarters informed us that a replacement staff will be here in two weeks."
"OK, I also want to rest for a while." Columbus said while handing a box of nematodes to Anna: "This is the parasite of the 24 researchers at the Death Valley Town Base."
Anna took the small box and continued busy with the work at hand.
The two people's working equipment is a set of biological exoskeleton armor, which is specially designed for investigators and has various auxiliary functions.
For example, magnetic field detection, pheromone insect control, data processing computers, genetically recombinant insect egg storage containers, micro-parts synthesis capsules, etc.
The other two people also rely on this exoskeleton armor for their daily entertainment.
Of course, such an important exoskeleton armor would not be without an emergency system.
In order to avoid emergency situations, this exoskeleton armor is also equipped with several self-destruction systems to ensure that things will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
In order to obtain the most accurate intelligence, this dangerous life is the reality that investigators have to face.
