Chapter 392 Neurotoxin
"Control Lin Shuyue first, don't let him leave."
"Completely disinfect him and isolate all those who have just come into contact with him!"
"The base is in a state of emergency and all other personnel are evacuated to the upwind area!"
"I think it's probably a toxin, but I don't know what it could be."
"Did he take his suit jacket with him?"
Xiaoyu issued a series of orders, but Chen Chen did not question it, but followed her instructions to the letter.
The entire Dongfeng base has entered an unprecedented tense situation, but no one knows why.
Li Bang and several other security personnel were isolated. They took off all their clothes on the spot, sprayed and disinfected their entire bodies with agricultural sprayers and peracetic acid, and then rinsed them with a large flow of fire hoses.
Lin Shuyue himself was controlled in a separate barracks, with all doors and windows closed, and could only communicate with the outside world through a wired communication system.
Not only Lin Shuyue, but even Li Gang felt baffled by this.
After completing all disinfection, they were also quarantined. On the phone, he asked Chen Chen:
"Captain, what on earth is going on?"
"Isn't there just someone coming in? Why are you so nervous?"
Hearing his question, Chen Chen shook his head subconsciously, and then replied:
"I can't explain to you that professionals now suspect that there is something wrong with Lin Shuyue's identity."
"Regardless of whether there is a problem or not, we must remain highly vigilant and eliminate risks before making further plans."
"But we didn't feel anything abnormal in our body - is it because of the protective clothing?"
Li Bang said in confusion.
"The protective clothing must be effective, but it may not be a fast-acting toxin - wait, we have gone to the hospital to find more comprehensive isolation clothing, and we will do an inspection on the suit later. Xiaoyu suspects that the toxin may be Sprayed onto the surface of the suit.”
"clear."
Li Bang didn't ask any more questions. He knew that everything could be discussed before Chen Chen made the decision, but as long as he made the decision, no one could question it anymore.
At this time, the "examination" against Lin Shuyue had also begun.
Just as Chen Chen expected, he was completely unaware of the so-called assassination and had no idea at all.
In this "suspicion", he was completely "innocent", and he even acted extremely cooperatively in order to prove his innocence.
From receiving the order to setting off, he explained every detail in extremely detail without any concealment. The entire logic was completely self-consistent and there were no flaws.
According to him, the reason why he put on the suit jacket was actually very "random".
In the temperatures in Pubei, wearing a coat is certainly not necessary.
However, considering the "formality" of this meeting, he still asked Lin Mingxian for advice, but the latter thought it was a bit too "formal" and had no intention of letting him wear it. It was only when he finally set off that he suddenly felt that he still had to look more formal. Be "respectful" and ask someone to take him to change clothes.
He chose the clothes himself. He originally wanted to choose a set that was light and breathable, but Lin Mingxian felt that no matter how light it was, he would sweat anyway, so it was better to choose a fabric that was not easy to get wet and had better isolation, so he picked one by himself. Made of linen.
Other than that, there is nothing that raises any doubt.
But from this series of complicated details, Xiaoyu isolated the key doubts.
"It doesn't matter whether his actions were reasonable or not, nor does it matter whether the logic of the entire incident is logical."
"Because anyone with a normal IQ can make up a reasonable story."
"Reality is not a detective novel. There are not so many loopholes for you to catch. What you really need to pay attention to is only one element: the result."
"The result is that Lin Shuyue really put on the suit, and as we originally expected, the reason why he put on the suit showed signs of external force."
"Wait, wait until the isolation suit is in place, and then we'll find out what's wrong with this suit."
Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Chen Chen nodded slowly, and then asked:
“Is there a suspected category of toxin?”
"Anything is possible. Spraying high-concentration ricin on the suit can achieve the assassination effect, but this must sacrifice Lin Shuyue."
"In addition, there are many contact toxins or viruses that may also be used."
"However, OMS is very cautious in this regard. We don't have much intelligence, but one thing can be confirmed. If the CIA wants to organize such an assassination, it is very convenient for them to obtain 'tools'."
"OMS?"
Chen Chen looked confused.
"The CIA's medical support unit, they're most famous for their use of truth serum and LSD."
"I understand - why is it easy for the CIA to obtain tools?"
"Don't you know the CIA's black jail in Thailand?"
".Know."
In fact, the rumors about the CIA’s “black jail” in the Udon Thani province base in Thailand are like a postmodern version of urban legend. In a series of rumors Chen Chen heard, the prison was described as a Horrible hell.
Legend has it that it was specially set up to interrogate suspects of terrorist and separatist activities, using various cruel torture methods on a large scale, and tortured every "prisoner" who entered this prison.
As long as you go in, it's impossible to come out again. Being able to die quickly inside is already a blessing.
But then again, since this is an urban legend, it means that this thing is simply untrustworthy.
In 2018, this legendary base was opened to the public and turned into a tourist attraction.
There is indeed no trace of a "prison" inside it - nonsense, America is too idle to build a prison in a place like this? has no meaning?
In this case, why did Xiaoyu mention this detail?
Looking at Chen Chen's confused eyes, Xiaoyu continued:
"The black jail in Thailand is a 'concept' that has been exaggerated and conspired by conspiracy theories. It is a 'water monster' that people made up after salvaging a few pieces of duckweed floating on the water."
"But people's imagination can only imagine water monsters, but they can never imagine that there are icebergs under the water of a pond."
"The CIA's operations in Southeast Asia are much deeper than you think. As early as the Vietnam War, as the United States calls it, here has become a fertile ground for CIASAD's activity."
"Many research projects were placed here. After entering the 21st century, a large number of these projects were withdrawn. However, even the legacy left behind is enough to support their remaining power to be active here."
"The devil knows what they are hiding. Maybe there is a safe house hidden under an ordinary house. It is not certain that there is a small tactical nuclear bomb in it, let alone a toxin commonly used by CIASAD for assassination. .”
"I see."
Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully, but suddenly, his heart jumped again.
"Safe house?"
"There is a CIA safe house in Jingdong."
"?? Isn't Jingdong in your control area?"
"It's in our control area, though."
Chen Chen did not continue talking, but immediately dialed He Bangxiong's number.
After confirming it in a few words, Chen Chen received the news that he expected.
The coalition's management focus is almost entirely on Tachilei. Although Jingdong, the original important town, cannot be said to be a "vacuum", all aspects of control have been downgraded!
This is the disadvantage of insufficient manpower - or in fact, it can be said that no one in the coalition has the experience to manage such a vast "territory".
The loss of control in management has also led to a shift in the focus of management.
The most typical manifestation is that the control of non-core points has been seriously insufficient. Even the light and dark sentinels originally deployed near the safe house have been removed and replaced with periodic patrols!
The safe house may have been broken into.
Chen Chen gave He Bangxiong an order to check immediately. He Bangxiong also realized the seriousness of the problem and promised Chen Chen to give him the results within 10 minutes.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Chen looked at Xiaoyu and said:
"We made a mistake."
"The safe house that was originally in our hands may have been taken away again."
"The things inside may have been lost."
"Why?"
Xiaoyu frowned in confusion and continued:
"They have no reason to do this. This safe house is already within your control. Instead of taking the risk to get things inside, it is better to transfer them from other places."
"Unless it's in there"
Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly changed.
"Unless there's something in it that's hard for them to get elsewhere and is irreplaceable."
Chen Chen added in a low voice.
"That's right."
"You must have your people open the safe house immediately and inspect it, regardless of the sensitivity."
"Blow it up - no, you can't blow it up. There may be some biological or chemical weapons inside. This is the only thing that is irreplaceable."
"Let them take a look, as long as they find evidence that the door was opened!"
"Understood, I have already told He Bangxiong."
Chen Chen sighed, and then said:
"That's enough. If I had known earlier, we should have disposed of this safe house earlier."
"I didn't expect their control to be so weak."
Xiaoyu nodded noncommittally and said:
"You should never expect how strong these warlords' governance and management capabilities are. To be honest, it is already very good to be able to achieve this level."
"Ultimately, it's our own problem."
"If we had known, it would have collapsed immediately. We were still hoping that one day we would be able to find a way to open it."
"It's too greedy and not enough manpower. This is a lesson."
After hearing Xiaoyu's words, Chen Chen comforted him:
"It's no one's fault. If we had to pursue it, we should have taken action directly at that time."
"It can only be said that the enemy is not a fool, nor is he a piece of wood."
"Hopefully it's empty."
Xiaoyu's expression was a little solemn.
Of course she knew it couldn't be empty, but it had reached this point and all hindsight was meaningless.
In the past two months, the situation has developed too fast, and everyone has too many things at hand. It would not be surprising if something went wrong, but it would be strange if everything went smoothly.
The two looked at each other, and a few minutes later, Chen Chen received feedback from He Bangxiong.
The second level security door of the safe house was opened, and there were obvious marks on the ground.
This means that CIASAD has indeed begun operating in Pubei and has taken away irreplaceable equipment from the safe house closest to them.
However, the Dongfeng Corps still had no way to enter the safe house or obtain more detailed information.
Chen Chen could only order He Bangxiong to demolish it from the side at any cost.
At this time, they no longer need to consider any so-called "sensitivity" and "danger", nor do they need to consider maintaining the integrity of the safe house.
What they need is to enter the safe house as soon as possible and find out what's inside!
This time will not be short, but fortunately, the isolation gown obtained from the hospital also arrived at this time.
Chen Chen arranged for Li Bang, who had been in contact with Lin Shuyue, to put on isolation suits, store the suits in special sealed storage bags, and then disinfected the storage bags and sent them outside.
Xiaoyu didn't delay much, but arranged for people to rush to Daluo with the clothes, preparing to return to Yunnan to test the clothes.
——
However, this process is no longer necessary.
Lin Shuyue began to have a slight but obvious poisoning reaction. Under such a nervous situation, he actually fell asleep in the barracks where he was "detained".
Chen Shen could not conduct further examination on him, and medical staff could not get close.
But soon, he had more physiological reactions.
His muscles gradually became weak, and he seemed to be trying very hard to support his body, but he fell heavily to the ground again.
At the same time, he also experienced retching, loss of balance, and even obvious difficulty breathing.
He is dying.
This was really an assassination, and this assassination without any warning was actually blocked by Xiaoyu!
"Typical neurotoxin poisoning, it looks a bit like tetrodotoxin, but it shouldn't be."
"This is obviously a skin-contact toxin, VX, or something like Novichok?"
Xiaoyu's words were more like murmuring to himself. Chen Chen didn't know much about this aspect. He was just worried about the situation of the Li Gang and the others.
"Are my people okay?"
"I don't know. It depends on the subsequent analysis results. But there is no reaction so far, so it's basically fine."
"They all wore gloves and quickly disinfected and showered. Theoretically, there won't be any big problems."
"It's really poisonous. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be an assassination."
"??What's the meaning?!"
Chen Chen asked dumbfounded.
"I just want to treat this handling as a drill to raise your vigilance."
"I didn't expect that the first exercise would be a real one."
"The situation is more serious than we expected."
"You must be prepared, the enemy is not going to give us any time to react!"
"I see."
Chen Chen took a deep breath and continued:
"We can't sit still and wait for death."
"If we don't act, the enemy will always have a chance."
"They have to move, and they can no longer stay in the areas they are good at."
"You go back to the north first, or go back to Tachileik."
"I can't wait any longer. Tonight, I will demand an answer from Lin Mingxian."
"If I can't explain what happened today clearly, starting from tomorrow, I will officially start a war with him!"
