This means that the far side of the ocean, which was temporarily one step ahead, has once again been pulled to the same starting line by them!

The female officer who always followed Mr. Hu, usually with a cold demeanor, couldn't help but show a smile at this moment.

"We really have to thank the 'reusable liquid oxygen combustion cycle technology' and 'super-strength titanium alloy formula' we recently acquired. These have allowed us to make rapid progress in the field of reusable aerospace engines.

Otherwise, even if we solved the control issue, we probably wouldn't be able to deploy the rocket recovery technology into practical use so quickly."

This sentence seemed to remind Mr. Hu, making him dazed for a moment before falling into deep thought.

The female officer was unaware of the secrets involved, but Mr. Hu had seen the "Brocade Bag" Meng Lang handed him.

Only he knew that the one who secured these two technologies for the country was actually the hacker team led by Demon Hunter!

They solved the "hardware" problem of reusable engines in one fell swoop.

And now Demon Hunter has solved the "software" problem, the guidance control system that is most crucial to recovery technology, effectively completing the final piece of the puzzle...

Could it be that from the beginning, Demon Hunter aimed to help the country break through this key technology?

Yet, being clearly a coder, he goes through all this trouble to fill the gaps in space development for the country and shows great investment enthusiasm toward commercial aerospace...

Could it be... this is the special sentiment tech nerds have for the sea of stars?

Mr. Hu's expression was peculiar.

Leaving aside such behavior, Demon Hunter and the mysterious organization behind him always gave him a strange feeling of plotting something in the shadows.

Whether it was the Damascus rescue operation months ago or the hacker counterattack, it seemed to be not just a simple act of serving the country.

More like some kind of advance preparation for today's circumstances...

Accelerating the aerospace technology development of Country Hua, eliminating the biochemical experiment base of the mysterious organization...

Their objectives are gradually surfacing.

And such step-by-step actions, without a doubt, must have a core figure skilled in strategic planning and long-term schemes behind them!

The question is, what exactly does this person want to achieve?

Is it really as they say, merely to combat the evil organization behind the orphanage?

Mr. Hu pondered for a moment.

"Prepare the plane, I'm going somewhere."

The female officer stood at attention. "Yes! May I ask where are you going?"

"Silent Hill."

The female officer: "..."

...

Inside a research facility with a rather eerie code name.

The girl named Xiao Yu no longer had the calm and confident demeanor she had when she arrived; she flipped over the tray in front of her.

In the clatter of dishes and bowls, she cried out with a face full of grievance.

"I don't want to eat, I want to see Granny Director, where did you take my Granny Director! Why won't you let me go back to the orphanage! Boo~"

The "nurse" beside her picked up the fallen items, and the "doctor sister" in the white coat said somewhat helplessly.

"Xiao Yu, didn't I tell you, Granny Director was taken back by the police for investigation due to some matters.

If everything is fine, she will come to pick you up after a while."

"You said this a few days ago, but it's been so long and Granny still hasn't come!

I don't believe Granny was taken away by the police, surely you are preventing Granny from coming to see me! Boo~ Boo-boo~"

"Xiao Yu, maybe there's something delaying on that side; just stay here for a while.

How about, sister brings you some toys and your favorite lollipops later?"

"No! I don't want snacks, I just want my Granny... Boo-boo~"

With coaxing and lies, it took a long time for the little girl to temporarily stop crying.

However, just as the medical staff breathed a sigh of relief and left the isolated ward, the teardrop-laden face of Xiao Yu gradually turned cold.

Something is wrong! Things are increasingly going wrong!

After all this time, Granny Director still hasn't contacted her again.

Although indeed two police officers came a few days ago and asked her many questions, seemingly investigating the director's "child abuse case."

But even if Granny was trapped by the police, with Granny's capability, she should've gotten away by now...

What's more unsettling is that she was moved to another isolated ward today!

Although it looks no different from an ordinary ward, once she entered, she sensed something unusual...

Xiao Yu listened intently, yet the various noises from the outside world, usually so loud, were barely audible now.

Indeed... this room has been specially soundproofed...

If she can't receive information from the outside, it also means she can't transmit information to the outside...

Does the other party know about her abilities?

Xiao Yu couldn't believe it.

But such a ward undeniably proves that the other party has at least learned some of her intelligence!

Could it be Granny's side made a mistake?

But how could that be possible?

Unable to comprehend what happened outside, Xiao Yu grew increasingly anxious and had to test the other party using the means of wailing and fuss.

Yet the result was obvious, the opponent was completely indifferent...

"Boo-hoo-hoo~" The white-haired puppy in her arms seemed to sense its owner's mood, letting out a series of uneasy whimpers.

"No! I can't wait any longer!"

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth.

...

Night fell.

In a monitoring room hundreds of meters away from Xiao Yu's ward, Major General Chu Tian was staring intently at the dozens of screens in front of him.

On them were the live feeds of the girl's ward and all surrounding access routes.
