84: Chapter 84 proceeds as planned

"You are all here; that's perfect. Let me introduce a new member to everyone, 'Lone Wolf.' He is from Asia and is proficient in operating all kinds of vehicles; he can even drive military equipment like tanks and armored vehicles. Furthermore, he is fluent in the Chinese language, so he can serve as your guide this time."

"Hi, it's an honor to join your team. Finally, I'm not a 'lone wolf' this time."

The yellow-skinned man nicknamed "Lone Wolf" was actually quite polite.

"Asian, and you speak Chinese? You wouldn't happen to be Chinese, would you?"

Fox Shadow sized up the stranger. His attitude was not very friendly; he did not like having a stranger appear in his team.

"That's not the case. My ancestors were from Country H. You must be Fox Shadow, right? I've heard many stories about you."

"Oh? Are you also a mercenary?"

Fox Shadow became interested.

"Yes, but I've always operated in the Golden Triangle and Southeast Asia. Unlike you, your presence is felt all over the world, haha."

Fox Shadow looked at his teammates. Seeing that no one had any objections, he didn't make things difficult for him anymore.

"Where is your weapon?"

"In the car. Coming here, there's no need to carry hardware."

Hearing this, Joey knew that Fox Shadow and his team had accepted the stranger, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, everyone. On the way here, I already briefly introduced the action plan to 'Lone Wolf.' He is responsible for your extraction, as well as providing cover and acting as an interpreter when necessary. If there are no issues, you can set off. Fox Shadow, this is the map of the minefield. Be careful. If the situation changes, you know what to do."

"Don't worry, boss. Alright, brothers, check your equipment. We set off in 10 minutes!"

After Fox Shadow finished speaking, he picked up several magazines from the table and inserted them into the weapon belt at his waist. He weighed them, pondered for a moment, then grabbed the bullets nearby and began loading them into the empty magazines.

The "click, click" sound was very rhythmic.

"Boss, you seem extra cautious about this operation."

Black Bear glanced at Fox Shadow's actions, feeling a bit confused.

"There is an old Chinese saying: 'Caution is the parent of safety.' It's always better to be prepared."

The yellow-skinned man, "Lone Wolf," said this while flipping through the night vision goggles on the table and touching the dark green M24 sniper rifle.

After hearing this, the others didn't say anything more and went to organize their own equipment.

For a time, everyone in the room began to get busy. All kinds of firearms, equipment, grenades, and explosives were brought back to the table for redistribution.

Ten minutes later, Fox Shadow and his group of six walked out of the bamboo hut and got into a military jeep. The jeep had plenty of space, so it wasn't crowded.

"This vehicle can travel unimpeded here. Lone Wolf knows the way. For the journey through the rainforest afterward, you'll have to rely on your own legs. Once you get here, you can rest and contact the people on the other side."

Joey pointed to a mark on the map while talking to Fox Shadow in the passenger seat. Fox Shadow nodded and reached out a hand.

The two shook hands firmly. Joey patted the car body, and the vehicle started abruptly, driving off into the distance while bumping along.

Joey stood in place for a long time, silently calculating in his heart, "If things go quickly, there should be news in three days."

Chu Ge did not go to the construction site today. The main frame of the dock had basically been erected, and the difficult problems that needed to be discussed with the engineers had mostly been solved.

As for the remaining details, as long as Chu Ge produced the data drawings, the rest could be left to them to perfect.

He was spared from having to "eat dirt" again; Chu Ge felt that his appetite had dropped significantly recently.

At this moment, he was sitting in his office, continuing the work of organizing data for the aerospace carrier. "Beep, beep," the phone on the desk rang. Chu Ge, head lowered, fumbled to pick up the phone.

"Little Chu, are you at the Research Institute? If you are, come to my place."

Academician Chen said kindly over the phone.

"Alright, Elder Chen, I'll be there right away."

Chu Ge hung up the phone, saved the work at hand, and then hurried over to Academician Chen's place.

Downstairs, the guards on duty saluted Chu Ge one after another when they saw him.

After returning the salute, Chu Ge looked around. There were quite a few patrolling guards. This… the security force around him was several times larger than before.

Chu Ge's office was newly changed and located in the center of the Research Institute. It was originally supposed to be a place for storing confidential documents, so it was already a place with strict security.

Now, this place was basically Chu Ge's exclusive small building. Anyway, he hadn't run into anyone in the past few days. In the past, Yan Tianhao and the others would occasionally bring him things or food.

Recently, they hadn't been seen. It was possible they had tried to deliver things but were blocked outside by the guards.

Academician Chen had explained to Chu Ge that the Aerospace Aircraft Carrier project was huge, involving too much data and confidential documents, and spanning a long time. Apart from the personnel specifically responsible for keeping these materials and the guards, others should rarely come to his place.

Consequently, Chu Ge had become the current "loner."

Chu Ge was cooperative; he simply moved his dormitory over as well. This way, the three-point routine became a two-point routine. Perfect.

When Chu Ge arrived at Academician Chen's office, the old man was looking down, studying something.

Chu Ge knocked on the door and walked in. "Elder Chen, I'm here. Is there anything you need?"

"Oh, Little Chu, sit. Didn't you ask me to find the Biology Institute to develop some new things for you a few days ago? They have been delivered one after another today. Take a look and see if there are any problems."

Academician Chen said, pointing to the metal box on the table beside him. Chu Ge walked over and opened one of them. A delicate, transparent small bottle contained some white powdery substance.

The bottle was surrounded by soft padding; the people at the Biology Institute seemed very careful.

These were the components of the Gene Medicine.

"There shouldn't be any problems. I'll go back and experiment with them. Elder Chen, I'll have to trouble you to find someone to help me send these over. Just put them in my office; there's a simple laboratory under my office."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he picked up the small bottle in the box, carefully held it under his nose, and sniffed it. He felt it had no smell.

"Alright, Little Chu, is it dangerous to experiment with this stuff? If you can't, find some professional people to operate it."

Academician Chen watched Chu Ge's cautious movements and suddenly asked.

"Ah? Oh, no, these things have no danger. You can rest assured, Elder."

Chu Ge hurriedly replied. Saying it was an experiment, in reality, it was just mixing them together according to the proportions and ingredients given by System Big Brother, although he had made it seem quite mysterious.

Seeing Chu Ge's confident appearance, Academician Chen felt relieved. The two chatted for a while longer, and then Chu Ge bid farewell to Academician Chen.

He had to hurry back and finish the Gene Medicine, and then he could take off right there today. This really made Chu Ge a little excited!
