Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well then, I'll find an opportunity to introduce you to him. If it's true, then Xu Qiang might have some problems."

Zhao Qingsong nodded: "We definitely need to confirm. Today isn't a good day. We need to find another time to avoid alerting them."

Gao Dazhi hesitated for a moment, then agreed: "Okay! It's settled then. We'll try again when we find an opportunity. Anyway, we've already found the general location, so it'll be easier to find it again next time."

"Okay! We'll think about this again later."

That's settled then.

"Then I'll head back now!"

Zhao Qingsong said goodbye and prepared to go back.

"Hey, since you're already here, let's go upstairs and have some food."

"Really, no need. Things are tough for everyone these days. I'll head back now!"

I said hello and then left.

Gao Dazhi watched Zhao Qingsong's departing figure, pondering to himself. After a while, he took the last puff of his cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, and headed home.

……

On his way back, Zhao Qingsong thought about the case while also thinking about how he needed to go back this week.

Moreover, his task progress was somewhat slow.

Survival missions will take longer and longer each time, so you'll still have to rely on killing mutated beasts to keep progressing.

When he had a day off on Sunday, he went to the mountains by himself and completed the next level of tasks.

It was already quite late, and most people had gone home for dinner.

There were fewer pedestrians on the road.

……

Zhao Qingsong walked on a dark road.

The wind felt like it was wrapped in ice shards, stinging my face.

There is a bathhouse not far from the gate of the family quarters.

The dim streetlamp at the entrance of the bathhouse swayed precariously in the wind, and in its flickering light, white steam rushed out from the cracks in the door, only to be torn to shreds by the cold wind.

Lost in thought, several figures walked towards me, laughing and joking.

Zhao Qingsong looked up.

Those were a few young girls.

One of them caught her attention.

The other person was about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was clutching a blue cloth bundle tightly in her hand, probably to keep the heat from dissipating, and the collar of her cotton-padded jacket was buttoned up tightly.

Perhaps because she had just taken a shower, her cheeks were flushed with a light pink, like a freshly peeled egg, exuding a moist and vibrant energy.

A few strands of wet hair clung to her ears, gleaming like dark jade in the dim light as she lowered her head.

She is about 1.65 meters tall and has a slender figure.

There's absolutely no problem with her looks.

Even in later generations, this face would definitely be considered a celebrity-level beauty, and it's all-natural.

The exquisite face of later generations, combined with the unique purity and cleanliness of this era, immediately attracted his attention.

Not bad.

When looking for a wife, you should look for someone like this.

But it's just for admiring; what if this woman already has a boyfriend, or she's even underage and still in school?

Zhao Qingsong's absent-mindedness also caught the attention of the others.

There were girls nearby whispering and laughing.

It's as if she's saying, "Look, that man is looking at you!"

The group followed their gaze and looked over. The girl from before blushed slightly, a hint of reproach on her face, and started to playfully tease them.

They walked away laughing and joking until they entered the compound.

Zhao Qingsong watched the group leave, then awkwardly touched his nose.

However, he quickly put his thoughts aside and headed home.

……

Back home, I started a fire and cooked.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they returned to lie down on the heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

Meanwhile, he was thinking about the supplies.

The system initially provided survival supplies, but later on, the supply of daily necessities seemed to decrease, and the focus became primarily on improving one's own survival capabilities.

I don't know what the rewards will be later.

However, he quickly put that aside, knowing that he would certainly not lack food and drink.

Now there's another issue, and that's habit.

He still retains many traces of later generations, some of which need to be concealed, such as his knowledge and learning.

Looks like I need to find some books, especially high school books.

He had to be disguised as a high school dropout and a genius.

I drifted off to sleep, lying there in a daze.

……

The next day.

I get up at the usual time and go to work.

When he arrived at the destination, the others had already arrived.

Because of yesterday's hunting incident, the atmosphere in the department is different again, and the way people look at Zhao Qingsong is somewhat different.

Huang Hai watched him come in and chuckled, "Qingsong, next time you go hunting, take me with you. I'll just follow behind and pick up the spoils."

Gao Dazhi rolled his eyes at the sight.

"How dare you! Don't you have any self-respect?!"

Huang Hai smiled nonchalantly: "What's so shameful about it? I'm not stealing or robbing."

His words drew laughter from Old Liu.

Old Liu looked at him and said softly, "Qingsong, it's good that you have this ability. When our security department has target practice, we'll apply for more bullets for you so you can train faster."

Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "Sure! Once I've mastered it, I'll go to the mountains again."

"Wow, that's a really high level of awareness!"

Huang Hai laughed in agreement.

After chatting for a while, the group started talking about yesterday's case.

Old Liu recounted yesterday's events: "There's something wrong with Gao Fugui's case. If that whistleblower letter is problematic, it means there are enemy agents hiding in our factory, ready to cause sabotage at any time. Now that the parts are missing, if they're turned into bombs, the consequences will be unimaginable."

As the section chief mentioned in yesterday's meeting, the factory must strengthen patrols, eliminate potential hazards, and provide key security for critical production areas such as blast furnaces, dispatch rooms, laboratories, and substations. Strict access control and patrol duty will be implemented to prevent sabotage and ensure production safety. ..."

……

After the meeting, Zhao Qingsong and Gao Dazhi exchanged a glance, then left the department together and headed straight for the department head's office.

"Section Chief!"

"Old Wu, you're here too!"

Deputy Section Chief Wu Zhiqiang was also in the office, and Gao Dazhi greeted him.

They were all old comrades-in-arms, so there was no need for formalities.

Wu Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Yes, there are enemy agents hiding in our factory. I'll discuss the rest with the old squad leader."

Sun Guodong spoke up as well: "What's wrong? Weren't you supposed to be inspecting the various important departments? Why are you here?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Dazhi glanced at Wu Zhiqiang and hesitated for a moment.

but……

Finally, he spoke up.

I explained what I knew.

……

in the office.

Sun Guodong frowned after hearing Gao Dazhi's words.

Wu Zhiqiang asked anxiously, "Are you sure? This is no joke! If bad guys get in our security department, the consequences will be much more serious!"

These words were naturally spoken to Zhao Qingsong.

Zhao Qingsong nodded seriously: "Yes, confirmed! Brother Gao was there that day too. That person ran away. We initially thought he was just an ordinary speculator. Plus, Li Hongwei died and the clues disappeared, so we didn't pay any attention to him."

After listening to his words, Sun Guodong pondered for a moment.

Finally, he made a direct decision: "Contact the police station immediately to arrest and interrogate the person you mentioned. We must uncover the truth behind these people. We can't delay, or it will cause huge losses."

"Then... what about Xu Qiang? We don't have any evidence yet. What if it's all just a coincidence?"

"Snapped!"

Wu Zhiqiang slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "I'll lock Xu Qiang up first, and I'll take responsibility if anything happens. But the person you mentioned needs to be arrested as soon as possible. Don't let him escape. Once he's been interrogated, arrest them all."

Hearing this, Gao Dazhi didn't say anything.

"Okay, what's the next step?"

They were all deep in thought.

Wu Zhiqiang thought for a moment and said, "Now that we know the address, we can identify who it is. He's seen both of you. To prevent them from escaping, I'll take some men to arrest them. Let's go with Lao Zhou!"

Gao Dazhi looked at Sun Guodong.

Sun Guodong thought for a moment, then finally made the decision: "Okay, let's do it this way."

"Okay!"

And that's how it was settled.
