Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Shrouded in Mist

After narrowly escaping death from the abandoned nuclear power plant, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng realized that the enemies they were facing had resources and intelligence networks beyond imagination. Those bombed documents and metal cans, as well as the mysterious Russian conversations, all point to a much larger and more dangerous conspiracy. ​

Zhao Jianfeng imported the file photos taken by Chen Mo into the computer and used criminal investigation technology to enhance them. As the image gradually became clear, an organization named "Prometheus" emerged. According to the documents, "Prometheus" is a transnational criminal group that has long been committed to the research and development and trading of illegal biological weapons, and the "Deep Sea Project" is precisely their key layout in China. ​

These people are simply insane! Zhao Jianfeng punched the table with one punch. "They want to control a specific group of people through genetic weapons. What's the difference between that and exterminating a clan?" Chen Mo, however, noticed another detail in the document: In the flow of funds for the "Deep Sea Project", a huge sum of money was transferred into an account named "Morning Star Charity Foundation". This foundation, ostensibly dedicated to medical assistance, is actually a tool for "Prometheus" to launder money and transfer funds. ​

Even more astonishingly, Chen Mo discovered that his immediate superior, Wang Zhengming, the deputy director of the provincial public security department, was actually an honorary director of the "Morning Star Charity Foundation". When he told Zhao Jianfeng about this discovery, both of them fell silent. If even the top officials of the Public Security Department have been infiltrated, then who else can they trust? ​

To avoid alerting others, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng decided to secretly investigate the "Morning Star Charity Foundation". Through connections, they found a former employee of the foundation. After learning the purpose of their visit, the employee looked flustered and refused to cooperate at first. But after seeing the document photos taken by Chen Mo, he finally spoke up and told some unknown secrets. ​

When I was working at the foundation, I once accidentally discovered that they were secretly transporting some special medical equipment. The former employee trembled and said, "The packaging of those devices was printed with biohazard labels, and the transportation process was extremely strict, requiring multiple authentications." I felt something was amiss at that time and wanted to investigate further, but was almost silenced. ​

Based on the clues provided by this employee, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng traced a warehouse under the name of the foundation. Late at night, taking advantage of the break when the guards were changing shifts, they sneaked into the warehouse. The warehouse was piled up with all kinds of medical supplies, but in the deepest mezzanine, they discovered a batch of freezers marked with the "Prometheus" logo. ​

When they opened the freezer, the things inside made their scalps tingle. Each freezer contains human tissue samples, with labels detailing the genetic information and health conditions of the sample providers. There are even some special samples marked with the words "test subjects". ​

These people used innocent people as test subjects! Chen Mo said angrily. Just as they were about to take away these pieces of evidence, a sudden engine sound came from outside the warehouse. Through the window, they saw several black cars parked at the entrance of the warehouse. The people who got out of the cars were precisely Wang Zhengming and several strange foreigners. ​

Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng quickly hid themselves and heard the conversation between Wang Zhengming and the foreigner. It turns out that the genetic weapon of the "Deep Sea Project" has entered the final experimental stage. They plan to use a new type of vaccine as a carrier to spread the genetic weapon at the upcoming international medical symposium. ​

This operation is only allowed to succeed and not fail. Wang Zhengming said with a sullen face, "Once the plan is exposed, we'll all die." After they left, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng realized that the situation was extremely urgent. They must find a way to stop this conspiracy and at the same time expose the crimes of Wang Zhengming and others to the public. ​

However, just as they were about to leave the warehouse, dazzling lights suddenly lit up all around. Wang Zhengming appeared before them with a group of armed bodyguards, wearing a smug smile on his face: "Chen Mo, Zhao Jianfeng, I knew long ago that you wouldn't let it go." Unfortunately, you discovered it too late.
