George guessed that although the video of the starship disappearing into thin air was a demonstration, it was very likely that the Mocalians had already mastered that kind of black technology.
As someone who studied space physics, George was very eager to obtain the Mocalians’ black technology.
To him, obtaining such technology was even more exciting than owning an interstellar battleship.
A black technology like space storage far surpassed the human “black technology products” on Earth.
Think about it. A storage card that could store something as colossal as an interstellar battleship, enabling the user easy storage and easy transportation, as well as granting the user a surprise factor when facing opponents.
George once again entered the group documents folder and opened the price list shared by the Mocalian. He saw that the space storage card was similar in size to the bank cards used on Earth.
“This is just super black technology! If only I can have a space storage card, even the lowest F-grade will do!”
As George admired the space storage cards shared by the Mocalian, he habitually inserted his right hand into his pocket and touched a phone card.
It was the old phone card that Anna left for him when she escaped.
His thoughts were disrupted the moment his hand touched the phone card.
The most important thing at the moment was to find Anna, but George found himself addicted to the alien black technology.
“That kind of black technology is not something I can get. Even the cheapest F-grade space storage card is an unattainable black technology for Earthians.”
After mocking himself, George retracted his gaze from the screen and stopped paying attention to the chat group.
He took out the old phone card from his pocket and looked at the phone number on the back. A bold idea formed in his mind.
“Hmm, why don’t I use the power of those agents to check the number Anna left behind!”
Although this idea was a little dangerous, George currently did not have a better way to find Anna.
Instead of letting the agents find Anna, he might as well take the initiative and give the agents the strange phone number. Then, he could get Anna in the name of the research group.
After making up his mind, George hurried back to Buck’s ward.
He reached the ward and was about to open the door when he heard the sound of arguments in the ward.
He listened carefully. It was Camilla and Buck who were quarreling.
Camilla wanted Buck to apply for help from the police force, but Buck didn’t seem to agree. As for why he refused, George wasn’t sure because he wasn’t around when the argument started.
George opened the door of the ward, and his appearance attracted the attention of everyone inside.
“Why were you gone for so long?”
It was Camilla who asked the question. George could clearly feel the suspicion in her eyes.
He ignored Camilla’s question and walked towards Buck who was lying on the hospital bed.
“The occupational disease of special agents makes them feel that everyone is suspicious! Captain Buck, I have some information for you, and only you!”
George walked to Buck’s bedside. What he meant with his words was quite obvious. — he wanted to tell Buck about the information alone.
Buck stared at George for a while. During this process, he must have been pondering as well. Finally, Buck gave the order, “You guys go out first. Wait, take the surveillance camera out too!”
George rolled his eyes at Camilla when he saw her leave the ward.
Soon, only George and Buck were left in the ward.
“Alright, it’s just the two of us now. George, what do you want to say?”
George didn’t say anything. Instead, he took out the phone card from his pocket and handed it to Buck who was on the bed.
“This is? Whose phone number is this?”
Seeing George shake his head, Buck more or less understood something.
“You want me to check this number?”
George pulled over a chair and sat down beside the bed.
“Buck, don’t ask me how I got this phone card. I need you to help me find out who the owner of the number is and where he lives.”
“I can help you, but I have a condition!”
George had anticipated that Buck would name a condition, so he waited for him to continue.
“Let me join your group!”
Buck knew that George had set up a research group under the instruction of his mentor. The authority of this group was quite big. As long as he could become an extended member of the research group, he would get a lot of resources too.
His initial goal was to become an extended member of the research group anyway.
When George heard Buck’s condition, he looked at the other party with a hint of surprise.
“Buck has quite the appetite!”
After silently criticizing Buck’s request, George pondered for a while and felt that the deal was worth it.
In the future, matters that were inconvenient for him to handle on the surface, or those that could not be achieved through normal channels could be handed over to members like Buck to do.
“Sure, but you can only be an extended member of the group!”
Buck replied with a “sure” gesture. Then he heard George ask again, “Buck, how long will it take? I need to know the owner and address of the number as soon as possible.”
“You will be able to get the information you want before midnight today.”
After reaching an agreement with Buck, George left the hospital. He had brought the old phone card back along with him. He did not leave it with Buck.
God knows what else was hidden in this phone card. What if Anna asked for it when he saw her again? It would be bad if he couldn’t take it out.
What George didn’t know was that when he left the hospital, the female agent Camilla was standing in front of the window and watching him.
It wasn’t until she saw George’s figure was about to disappear into the street, that she ordered a disguised agent to follow him.
After Anna’s body had mutated, the captain and his men were attacked when they pursued her. This, coupled with the incident that happened outside the window of the ward today.
Camilla put two and two together and found it hard not to suspect that George had something to do with Anna. She decided she could only find out through secret investigations.
However, Camilla’s actions were not authorized by Captain Buck. She was doing it secretly behind Barker’s back.
About half an hour later, George returned to his apartment.
At this moment, the clock on the wall showed that it was 21:51.
George took a look at the time and turned on the television. The news channel was broadcasting the report of the alien starship in outer space.
“It has been 75 hours since the alien starship had appeared at the Lagrange Point! According to the latest monitoring results of the National Space Center, the alien starship is most likely to have met with a major accident. Professor John from the National Space Center has reminded the public not to panic. At midnight today, the XXX army division will be stationed in the city, please stay at home and do not enter the streets without permission!”
George sat on the sofa and watched the news broadcast. It made him realize that the chaos caused by the starship was not as simple as the news said.
“At midnight, the army division will be entering the city. Are they trying to enforce a curfew?”
Just as George was pondering, his phone rang with a notification.
“It’s Buck. He has gotten the information with such speed?”
George picked up his phone and was surprised to see that it was a message from Buck..
