You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Qinglong Reservoir is nestled among mountains in the northwestern suburbs of Beijing.

This place was originally a scenic tourist destination, but now it is completely covered by the somber military green.

Dozens of military trucks surrounded the reservoir, and soldiers in full protective suits were conducting a thorough search along the reservoir's banks with detection equipment.

However, more than ten hours have passed, and apart from detecting high concentrations of virus residue at the edge of the reservoir, no source of the release can be found at all.

There were no abandoned metal drums, no suspicious pipes, as if the virus had fallen from the sky.

A military jeep sped up and stopped on the dam.

Lin Chen pushed open the car door and got out.

He was still wearing that thin casual outfit, standing out awkwardly among the group of chemical defense soldiers wrapped up like dumplings.

Jiang Tingxue, wearing protective clothing, followed closely behind.

Commander Wang of the chemical defense regiment, who was in charge of the on-site command, quickly stepped forward. He recognized Jiang Tingxue, but when he saw Lin Chen without any protection, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Forensic Doctor Jiang, who is this? This is a highly contaminated area; entry is strictly prohibited without protective clothing!"

Commander Wang's tone was stern.

"Commander Wang, this is Advisor Lin, specially appointed by the Municipal Bureau."

"He...he has a special constitution and is immune to this virus."

Jiang Tingxue explained that although the reason sounded extremely absurd, she had personally witnessed Lin Chen being unharmed in the P4 laboratory, so she could only say that.

Commander Wang was stunned for a moment, clearly not believing such nonsense. He was about to order Lin Chen to be kicked out, but Lin Chen ignored him and walked straight to the edge of the dam.

Lin Chen gripped the cold concrete railing with both hands, gazing intently at the vast expanse of water and the surrounding rolling mountains.

[God-level Meteorology Mastery] Unlocked!

[God-level Architecture Mastery] Unlocked!

A gentle breeze rippled across the water.

To the average person, it was just a normal gust of wind.

But in Lin Chen's eyes, the wind speed, humidity, temperature gradient, and even the extremely small air pressure difference in the air all became sets of extremely precise data, which flooded into his brain.

At the same time, the terrain, rock structure, and distribution of underground water veins of the surrounding mountains also created a complex three-dimensional model in his mind.

"Commander Wang, your search direction is completely wrong."

Lin Chen suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, but it carried an undeniable certainty.

Commander Wang walked over, suppressing his anger.

"Advisor Lin, our chemical defense regiment is the most professional."

"We have checked all the water inlets and underground sewage pipes upstream of the reservoir, and found nothing."

"Water flows downhill, so the source of pollution must be around the reservoir or in the upstream water system."

"That's the transmission pattern of ordinary liquid viruses."

Lin Chen turned around and looked at Commander Wang.

"I analyzed it in the P4 lab and found that the viral capsid is fused with fungal genes. It does not dissolve directly in water in liquid form, but exists in the form of tiny spores."

Lin Chen squatted down, picked up a twig, and started drawing on the slightly damp soil.

"Qinglong Reservoir is located in a basin and is surrounded by mountains."

"It's early autumn now, and the water temperature at the bottom of the reservoir is higher than the surface air temperature, which creates a weak upward thermal current on the water surface."

As Lin Chen spoke, he drew spiral lines on the ground to represent airflow.

"Viruses carrying fungal spores are extremely light in weight."

"After they are released, they will not sink into the water immediately, but will be carried upward by the hot air current."

Commander Wang and the officers around him were stunned.

Meteorology?

What does this have to do with finding the source of the virus?

Lin Chen ignored their questions and continued to trace patterns on the ground with the branch in his hand.

"Combined with today's southeasterly winds and the blocking effect of the mountains around the reservoir, these floating spores will form a strange 'reverse parabola'."

The tree branch traced a graceful arc on the ground, eventually pointing northwest of the reservoir to an extremely steep, almost vertical, barren mountain!

"The source is neither in the water nor on the shore."

Lin Chen threw away the branch, stood up, and stared intently at the barren mountain.

"Inside that mountain."

Following Lin Chen's gaze, Commander Wang gasped in shock.

That desolate mountain is called Black Wind Cliff. The cliff face is almost a 90-degree vertical section, hundreds of meters high, and covered with weeds and shrubs. There is no way to get up there at all.

"Consultant Lin, you're not joking, are you?"

Commander Wang thought this was simply a fantasy.

"Even monkeys can't climb that high a place. How could Sky Dome Group possibly build a lab there? And even if it were up there, how would we get up there to search? It would take at least three hours to get a helicopter here!"

"Three hours? The people in the isolation pod won't last that long."

Lin Chen patted the dirt off his hands, moved his wrists and neck, and made a crisp cracking sound as his bones popped.

"The helicopter is too slow, I'll go up myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Chen pushed off with his feet and darted out like a cheetah!

[God-level Parkour] Burst into action in an instant!

Lin Chen's speed was astonishing. He walked on the pile of rocks at the edge of the reservoir as if it were flat ground. With a few light leaps, he covered a distance of dozens of meters and rushed directly to the bottom of Black Wind Cliff.

Commander Wang and the chemical defense soldiers were all dumbfounded.

That speed, that explosive power—is that even human?!

What shocked them even more was yet to come.

After Lin Chen reached the bottom of the cliff, he did not stop at all.

He gripped a tiny crack in the rock face with both hands and leaped into the air!

[God-level Rock Climbing] Begins!

At that moment, it was as if Lin Chen's hands and feet had grown suction cups.

He possesses exceptional finger strength, balance, and body control.

Whether it was a protruding sharp rock or an extremely slippery, moss-covered crevices, they were all perfect footholds in his eyes.

He doesn't need any safety ropes or climbing equipment.

He was like an extremely agile gecko, rapidly climbing upwards on a near-vertical cliff!

"My God...is this...is this a movie shoot?"

A young chemical defense soldier couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Jiang Tingxue stood on the dam, her hands tightly gripping the hem of her protective suit. Her eyes, hidden behind her mask, were fixed on the rapidly moving black dot on the cliff, her heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.

Lin Chen was extremely fast; in just a few minutes, he had already climbed to the halfway point of the mountain.

Here, there is a hidden waterfall with a small flow, like a white ribbon hanging on the cliff, the sound of the water masking all other sounds.

Lin Chen hung from a protruding rock with one hand, his sharp gaze sweeping over the rock face behind the waterfall.

His "God-level Architectural Mastery" allowed him to instantly see through the anomaly of this rock wall.

The large rock behind the waterfall, though its color and texture are extremely similar to the surrounding rocks, is structurally incapable of supporting the weight of the mountain above.

That's fake!

It's a door made of a sophisticatedly disguised composite material!

Lin Chen took a deep breath, exerted force with his waist, and his body swung in a dangerous arc in mid-air, directly passing through the waterfall's curtain of water, and landed steadily on an extremely narrow protrusion in front of the camouflaged rock.

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen clenched his right fist, and the terrifying power brought by the [Advanced Body Enhancement] instantly converged at a single point.

"boom!"

A fierce straight punch slammed into the camouflaged rock!

With a dull thud, the surface of the camouflaged rock was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks before shattering, the fragments falling into the abyss below.

Behind the rocks, a heavy, cold, silver-gray alloy door was revealed.

The gate still bears the glaring blue dome logo of the Sky Dome Group.

Lin Chen discovered the Sky Dome Group's last underground biochemical laboratory in an extremely hardcore manner!
