325: Chapter 325 is a nuclear bomb

“But don’t be afraid, both of you. Listen carefully to what he says and think about whether there’s anything you can add. If you find him lying, you must bravely expose him. In short, you must show your value. Do you understand?” Dai Zheng said, as if encouraging them.

The other two quickly nodded.

They knew that if they didn’t perform now, they wouldn’t get another chance.

“Very good, let’s begin,” Dai Zheng nodded in approval.

“First, tell me where the captured Chinese people are being held?” Dai Zheng asked.

“In Yakutsk, but they might be transferred very soon,” the man answered without hesitation.

Dai Zheng looked at the other two, who quickly nodded, indicating their agreement with the answer.

It seemed this man was telling the truth.

With the two people supervising nearby, the man probably wouldn’t dare to spout nonsense.

Dai Zheng nodded and used his Digital Eye to locate Yakutsk.

He had no idea about the geographical distribution of foreign countries.

“In Oros?” Dai Zheng was stunned after checking.

“No, no. To be precise, it’s South Yakutsk. North Yakutsk belongs to Oros, and South Yakutsk belongs to Ulan Country,” the man explained.

Dai Zheng nodded, indicating he understood.

Yakutsk is a border city, formerly a trade hub between the two countries. The border line between the two countries passed right through the city’s center.

“What do you mean they’re about to be transferred?” Dai Zheng asked.

“It’s said that this group of people is to be used for producing Modified humans. And the Modified human laboratory is in Olos Country, so they will be transferred very soon,” the man explained.

“Producing?” Dai Zheng found the word strange.

“Yes, producing, that’s what they called it,” the man affirmed.

“Then what are they doing in Yakutsk?” Dai Zheng asked.

“Waiting for a train. So many people can only be transported by rail, and the train hasn’t arrived in Yakutsk yet,” the man explained.

“How do you know the train hasn’t arrived yet?” Dai Zheng asked.

“North of Yakutsk there’s a city called Noosibirsk, where the railway line is damaged, so the train can’t get through. It’s currently being repaired,” the man said.

“When did this happen?” Dai Zheng asked.

“The day before yesterday,” the man replied.

“Where are these people planned to be transported to?” Dai Zheng asked.

“Kultak,” the man said.

“So you mean the Modified human laboratory is located in Kultak?” Dai Zheng asked.

“Yes… yes,” the man replied.

Dai Zheng looked at the other two, who all nodded.

It seemed this intelligence was also correct.

“Then what is the laboratory in Batuo City for?” Dai Zheng asked.

“I’m not very clear about that,” the man replied.

As the man spoke, Dai Zheng used his Digital Eye to check the map.

From the map, it could be seen that Ulan Country and Oros indeed had a railway. This railway started from Yakutsk, went north through Noosibirsk, then west around Lake Baikal, and could reach Kultak, located at the southwest corner of Lake Baikal. Besides Noosibirsk, it would pass through at least a dozen small towns in between.

What Dai Zheng didn’t notice was that among these dozen small towns, one was Baikalsk, located on the shore of Lake Baikal.

“Commander, I have another situation to report,” the man volunteered.

“Oh? Tell me,” Dai Zheng said.

“Yesterday, one of our companions confessed that the Modified human laboratory was located in Baikalsk, but that was actually to deceive you. That place is a trap,” the man said.

Because when Shen Tu Zheng Hao interrogated them yesterday, these people were all present. So they heard everything the female Modified human said clearly.

Of course, even if they hadn't listened, they would have known what the female Modified human said. Because these confessions were all memorized in advance.

However, Dai Zheng arrived later and was not aware of these matters.

“What kind of trap?” Dai Zheng asked.

“It’s said to be… a nuclear bomb,” the man stammered.

“What?” Dai Zheng was startled.

If that thing exploded, it would be no joke; a city could be wiped out in minutes.

He didn’t doubt the accuracy of this intelligence at all, because Olos Country itself was a nuclear power. It was understandable that these people, who had the ability to subvert a country’s regime, could acquire a nuclear bomb.

Dai Zheng realized the seriousness of the problem, so he quickly called Shen Tu Zheng Hao.

“Commander, I have important intelligence to report,” Dai Zheng said after the call connected.

“Tell me,” Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.

“According to the captive, Baikalsk is a trap; please don’t fall for it,” Dai Zheng said.

“Hmm, we already know that,” Shen Tu Zheng Hao replied.

This conclusion had already been reached in yesterday’s council meeting.

“That’s good,” Dai Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

“What else did the captive confess?” Shen Tu Zheng Hao asked.

“They said the true location of the Modified human laboratory is Kultak, at the southwest corner of Lake Baikal,” Dai Zheng replied.

“Okay, I understand. I want to emphasize one point: for whatever reason, no matter what happens, entry into Olos Country territory is forbidden,” Shen Tu Zheng Hao said.

“Yes!” Dai Zheng responded.

This was one difference about those who had served in the military: no matter when, no matter whether they understood, they would resolutely carry out orders.

“According to our analysis, Baikalsk is a ticking time bomb. As long as we show any unfavorable actions towards Olos Country, that time bomb will explode. Remember that,” Shen Tu Zheng Hao emphasized again.

This wasn't because China was weak, but if it led to war between the two countries, the ultimate beneficiaries would be these cultists.

This was something China did not want to see.
