Chapter 122 – Deep Sea Project
Hei Feng looked confused, as if he didn't understand what he was saying for a moment.
"The Earth's tricks are deep? Do I have to go back to Mars?"
"Every time we think we have seen the limits of that superhuman, the problem always deepens," the wizard explained with a gloomy expression. "I am increasingly unable to figure out where his bottom line is."
"Maybe."
As he spoke, his voice involuntarily lowered, and he looked around.
As if he was afraid that there was a red-caped monster eavesdropping on the other side of the wall.
"Maybe he really is like Superman in the early movies, able to see what's happening on the other side of the Earth."
Hei Feng trembled and involuntarily showed a look of fear.
"Really?" Hei Feng said, "Wouldn't that make him a god? Are there really such superhumans in the world? With the ability to see and hear everything?"
Wouldn't that be magic?
Although he said this, his voice involuntarily lowered. In this large safe house, there were clearly top-notch soundproofing devices, and there were only the two of them in the room, but their voices were as low as whispering during class, as if they were afraid of being heard by the teacher on stage.
The wizard shook his head. "Who knows? He is Superman."
Hei Feng fell silent.
Indeed, even if the wizard didn't say it, he already had a sense of crisis. Being targeted by Superman was not a joke. Perhaps there would soon be no place for them on this planet.
"But no matter what, we've never had this research direction before," Hei Feng scratched his head. "Not to mention that the Transcendent Research Department has long been disbanded. Even if we concentrate all our resources and abandon all other projects to vigorously develop it, it won't be a quick task, right?"
The wizard also remained silent. Indeed, this was just an idea that came to him, and he knew very well that its feasibility was questionable. There were too many technical challenges to overcome, and it was mainly because they had never thought about it before.
Suddenly, Hei Feng suggested, "But... do you remember the underwater base project from before?"
The wizard was taken aback, his eyes lit up. "You mean the one for developing water-based superhumans."
"Yes. Although that base should be abandoned and unusable by now, there is a technological foundation," Hei Feng said, "If we choose this direction and work hard..."
"Maybe we can build a deeper and more hidden underwater base than before! We can escape to the depths of the ocean beyond the Eastern Continent. As long as we don't surface, Superman won't be able to find us, right?"
The wizard's eyes brightened, feeling as if he had found hope.
Although the "Anti-Superman Plan" had never been officially abandoned, no one in the organization had mentioned it for some time. The mainstream had long shifted from resistance to escape.
As long as they could find a place to settle down and continue researching for ten or twenty years, once the God-making plan succeeded, they would no longer have to fear that damn Superman.
Furthermore, the Water God plan had not completely failed either, but the higher-ups voted that its prospects and success rate were not worth investing in. Instead of continuing to invest in this uncertain project, it was better to save the funds for other projects.
But now, the situation was special, and they could consider restarting this plan. Once the God-making plan succeeded, it would be the moment for them to counterattack from the deep-sea base and seek revenge against that Superman.
"We need to find the researchers from the Water God plan back then," the wizard said, his thoughts clear as he tapped the table with his fingertips. "I remember that the team in charge of that base was dispersed. The Water Mirror and Firework Island branches?"
"Yes, we should still be able to contact them."
Hei Feng had already started searching through the organization's internal group chat interface.
Comparing the personnel list from the previous project, they quickly found the name of the former project leader. Then, they filtered through the internal group chat software and quickly found out where the leader had been reassigned.
A research supervisor at the Water Mirror City branch.
The wizard immediately became excited and proactively sent a message to this subordinate.
"I am the headquarters cadre 'Wizard'," he messaged, "You have been noticed by the organization. We are preparing for a top-secret mission."
After editing and sending the message, the wizard revealed a smug smile.
A mere research supervisor from a branch, receiving a personal message from a high-ranking cadre like himself, must have been shocked to the point of speechlessness, right?
He might even kneel in front of the screen, so let's forgive him for not replying in time.
At this moment, in the Electronic Wizard Water Mirror City branch.
A researcher suddenly jumped up from his seat, his eyes wide open, his face full of disbelief.
His bewildered colleague next to him looked at him blankly. "What? Did your hemorrhoids act up or something? Why are you so excited?"
The researcher ignored him and his expression changed from confusion to shock, then from shock to ecstasy.
His reaction was like the transformation from confusion to joy when suddenly five million fell from the sky and hit him on the head.
He completely ignored his bewildered colleague and quickly opened the light screen to enter the "Internal Traitor Group 2" and then threw out a bombshell.
"Breaking news! The cadre 'Wizard' messaged me privately!"
A group of people immediately exploded.
"Wow, is it real or fake?"
"Can we see a screenshot?"
"Don't tell me it's a prank from a fake account?"
So the researcher immediately took a screenshot and posted it in the group.
Another round of exclamations erupted.
"The VIP certification is definitely real!" someone said confidently.
They were not using common chat apps on the market, but the internal software of the Electronic Wizard. Every cadre and high-ranking member had a corresponding VIP certification. Looking at the luxurious border with an aura of authority on the profile picture of the account named "Wizard," as well as the platform verification following the ID, there was no doubt.
"Wow, so envious! He caught a big fish!"
"Damn, why didn't I receive a private message from a cadre?"
The group of researchers started to feel sour, envious of the achievements that the other person had achieved on their own. It seemed that they had completely forgotten that the cadres were once objects of their admiration and reverence.
Then the group chat administrator spoke up and mentioned the researcher.
"Don't rush to reply. It's a matter of great importance. I need to consult with the higher-ups first."
"Yes!"
The researcher responded at the speed of light, standing tall and proud, his demeanor completely transformed.
It was as if being a mole for the Superhuman boss and luring out the organization's leader was an incredibly honorable task, a lofty mission.
At this moment, Jiang Bei had just dispatched two members to investigate the situation in Wangshan Town.
A town mysteriously disappearing sounded like it would be a major event. Jiang Bei set the task to real-time follow-up mode, so he could monitor every detail of his Commissioner's investigation progress from the screen at any time.
It was at this moment that he received a report from the administrator of the "All Members Mole Group Two".
Of course, it wasn't a private message to him personally, but a message sent to the Endless Alliance. However, since Jiang Bei was the only one managing this alias at the moment, it could be considered a private message.
"Report! We have found clues related to the organization's executive 'Wizard'! The organization's upper echelons seem to be planning a major move!"
Jiang Bei raised an eyebrow.
Although he wanted to focus mainly on the matter of Wangshan Town, there was nothing to do before the investigation made actual progress.
Rather than wasting this time, it would be better to switch to another task thread to change his mood.
So Jiang Bei switched accounts and replied to the message.
"Elaborate."
