After the two of them finished dinner, they quickly removed everything off the table before Xiaoyun created a giant blank piece of paper.

A few hours of back-and-forth explanation later...

The two had finally finished making a rough draft, although most of the planning had shifted to Kate talking and Xiaoyun agreeing.

"So you''re telling me they aren''t actually in the nuclear facility?" Xiaoyun asked in confusion.

"Yep. They actually have a base and a lab next to the nuclear facility... Right about here."

As Kate pointed it onto the paper, she had already drawn a detailed map of a base on the right.

Meanwhile, on the left was just a square box with an unknown interior of the nuclear facility itself.

"So, we''re going to put me in a coffin, then have you carry me inside until we reach the director of the base?"

"Yep. At least, that''s the plan I have... Do you have any other plans?" Kate asked.

After staring at the map for a bit, Xiaoyun strongly opposed her idea. The concept of rendering himself useless was too risky.

"How about we just use an invisible cloak inside?"

"They have thermal cameras that can detect it. Trust me, there''s no other way around it unless you want to brute force it."

As Xiaoyun looked at the map again, there were remote turrets in almost every hallway of the lab.

With hundreds of security guards all around the various doors, it was practically impossible for him to brute-force it.

"You sure your parents are in here? Not in some other bases in the country or outside of the country?"

"I''m sure of it. I had met them a year ago in there. They don''t have as much resources compared to before the outbreak.

Also, most of them are scared of going outside. Even those security guards have rejected the scientist''s demand to collect samples outside."

"Huh... Fine, I''ll go with your plan."

"Great. Then all we have to do is to wait for tomorrow... Let''s go to sleep. I''m going to go take a shower first."

As Kate got up from her seat, Xiaoyun quickly got up from his seat as well before following her to the bedroom.

"You don''t take a shower. I need you to stay as dirty as possible to stay realistic."

"Fine."

Xiaoyun watched Kate head over to the bathroom as he looked down at his blood-soaked clothes.

It started to smell, and despite his nose having gotten used to it a few minutes earlier, it made him want to puke.

"Xiaoyun, can you just hand me a jug of water? I forgot there''s no running water here."

Kate suddenly asked as she peeked her head out around the bathroom door, looking at Xiaoyun, who was just sitting on the bed.

"Sure."

After handing her the jug of water, Xiaoyun went back to bed and created a sleeping bag on the floor.

Looking over at the clock, it was only nine, much earlier than when he usually slept.

However, the ignoring soon backfires.

A group of gang members approached her one day, kidnapping her in broad daylight on the college campus.

When the gang made a phone call to her parents and demanded millions of dollars, they surprisingly handed it over.

Despite the money being handed over, she wasn''t freed. Instead, she was sent to the person who had been constantly asking her for a date.

He once again asked for a date, but she refused. Even as he repeated it in a demanding tone, she still refused.

Just as he was about to use force to take what he wanted, an FBI raid suddenly popped through the door.

The girl was saved. But more importantly, her life has changed forever ever since then.

After graduation, she applied for the government application to become an FBI agent, much to her parent''s disapproval.

To everyone''s surprise, she was accepted. Unfortunately, she was put on backend jobs with mundane tasks.

Just as she thought her life was going to be an uneventful repetition, her colleague noticed a cold kidnapping case.

She decided to dig deeper into it herself, wanting to prove that she could indeed become a big shot in life.

However, she soon realized the cold case wasn''t cold because there was no evidence.

Rather, the higher-ups were suppressing it on purpose... That''s when she made her biggest mistake.

"This girl is you?" Xiaoyun curiously asked as Kate took a short pause.

"Maybe... Okay, it''s me. But you had better not tell anyone about this. I kept this a secret from everyone for a reason."

Xiaoyun nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Kate quickly found out the culprit behind the kidnap case and started gathering evidence herself.

As she presented the evidence to her superior, she was met with applause and a promotion away from the desk jobs.

But before she could celebrate, her desk had received a letter the next day.

Inside was a secret demand from a mysterious figure, with photos of her family and even bombs in the house.

She immediately returned home and looked for the picture''s location, only to find the exact bomb shown in the picture.

Despite rolling back footage, there was no trace of anyone entering the house, let alone a bomb being sneaked inside.

She called the bomb defused to remove the bomb, reporting the letter and the whole event to her superior.

They reassured her that she was now being protected. However, a week later, she received another letter with the bomb inside her closet.

This time, it demanded that she act as a spy. With no other choice, she decided to accept the demand.

To her surprise, after the acceptance, they barely interact with her at all. She only occasionally got requests to ignore a few minor cases.

Soon, she skyrocketed in career, eventually becoming a team leader and leading an elite team of agents to tackle domestic cases.

However, everything changed when her team was assigned a mission to fly four people to Africa using a redirected flight in Guangzhou.
