March 2nd, 343, 10:00 AM.
The construction site of the original Haicheng underground city.
It was now entirely encased in ice.
The tsunami, which had not managed to recede, had quickly frozen under the extreme cold temperatures, encasing everything in Haicheng in ice.
Suddenly, a figure stepped onto the ice and walked to the location of the Haicheng underground city construction site.
"This should be the place, right?"
Tang Li looked down, only seeing murky depths.
The tsunami had stirred up too much mud and sand. After freezing, it was filled with too many impurities, making it appear extremely turbid. It was impossible to see where it was beneath the ice.
Tang Li could only roughly estimate based on the map and bearings, guessing that the original Haicheng underground city construction site lay beneath the ice.
After finding the spot, Tang Li raised her hand and fired a flare into the sky.
Concurrently, several flares rose from the east, west, and north.
Based on the positions of these flares, Tang Li finally confirmed that she was standing directly above the original Haicheng underground city construction site.
Just as she was preparing to deploy her ice-breaking tools to excavate at the confirmed location, she suddenly felt a sense of being watched.
Tang Li looked south and saw several black dots flying in the distance, rapidly approaching.
It turned out to be five mobile combat mechs, flying towards her at full speed.
In a short while, they arrived not far from Tang Li.
"Captain Tang, we've heard great things about you. It's finally a pleasure to meet!"
A voice came from within one of the combat mechs.
Through Gaoqiao's memories, Tang Li knew this person was Chairman Yang of the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
She smiled and said, "Chairman Yang, you've really made me search high and low!"
Ever since leaving the G-city underground city on March 2nd, Tang Li had sent out clones and disguised herself in various appearances, searching everywhere for clues about the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch. However, she had found absolutely nothing.
Even on March 22nd, she had directly used the official authority of Longcheng to surround the pseudo-Haicheng Governor's Mansion with a mech army, yet she still hadn't found any leads on the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
Those controlling the pseudo-Haicheng Governor's Mansion and issuing orders in the southern region were immediately slaughtered when they were surrounded, leaving no survivors and no way to access their memories.
However, the complete dismantling of the pseudo-Haicheng Governor's Mansion was not without its benefits.
At the very least, it severed the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch's limb controlling the southern region of Z-country.
With orders from the Longcheng authorities and the High Command, the "300,000 strong army" mentioned by Fan Pangzi immediately turned their attention to investigating the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
The southern region of Z-country was now under the direct jurisdiction of Longcheng.
Previously, there were four governorates because of severed communication and inconvenient transportation in various areas.
Dividing into four governorates facilitated nearby management, resource allocation, and underground city construction.
But now, with the quantum communication technology invented by Song Pinxuan, and with the application of the technology, communication in various areas had gradually been restored.
Coupled with the incidents of the Jiangcheng Governor's Mansion and the Haicheng Governor's Mansion being controlled by criminals, the authorities were now also considering ways to strengthen control over the various governor's mansions and the completed underground cities.
During the time the pseudo-Haicheng Governor's Mansion held sway over the southern region, they confiscated quantum communication devices from the populace, preventing them from accessing news outside the southern region.
Therefore, the people of the southern region had no idea that the pseudo-Haicheng Governor's Mansion was controlled by the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
It was only after Tang Li allowed the people of the southern region to regain access to their phones and televisions that they finally learned of everything that had happened during that period.
After reclaiming jurisdiction over the southern region, the G-city underground city was no longer in danger of being excavated, even after the extreme cold season ended.
However, Tang Li still wanted to eliminate the hidden threat posed by the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
After all, no one knew if they still had hidden members in the current southern region of Z-country, or even nationwide, or within the G-city underground city!
This was the apocalypse, and there were only a few safe places for humans to survive.
Tang Li didn't believe that after thoroughly searching the southern region, she still wouldn't find the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch's lair!
However, after Tang Li scanned all the official shelters and survivor bases in the southern region, she truly found no clues whatsoever regarding the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch, let alone the location of their lair.
In the black market, she did find many low-level members of the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch, but these individuals also knew nothing.
What made Tang Li even more frustrated was that the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch knew she had the ability to read other people's memories from the R-country people, so they had taken precautions in advance. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Except for Xu Zhenhua, who was tricked by He Xiao and willingly surrendered, Tang Li had never apprehended a single living person with any connection to the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch.
In the end, Tang Li could only think of one place that might be the Saint Light Organization's Z-country branch's lair.
That was the Haicheng underground city, which had been submerged and frozen by the tsunami!
