Chapter 918 Closing the Net

After returning home, Zhou Tian helped his wife sit down and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In less than half an hour, three dishes and a soup were served on the table, and the two sat down and started eating.

"Hubby, didn't you say that my eldest sister would be transferred here soon? How come it's been so long and she hasn't been transferred here yet?"

During the break of the meal, Wu Yue'e finally couldn't help but ask, during this period of time, she ate and slept, and although she didn't suffer any hardship in life, she was really bored being alone in such a big house every day.

Even though Chang Weijun's wife came to visit her on weekdays, she still missed the life in the old city at that time, especially her eldest sister Shen Yulin, who was the first person who was so kind to her.

"It's almost healed, just wait a few more days!"

Zhou Tian paused for a moment while eating and looked up at his wife. Now that the spies in the base had basically been investigated, it was time to take action.

However, the closer it got to the end, the more he dared not be careless, because he knew very well that this was also the most dangerous time, because he was not sure whether these spies were really all of them.

At least, he hasn't finished exploring the family quarters, and to be honest, the people in the family quarters are more complicated. He dare not say that there are really no spies here, but it will be soon. Tonight he can first explore the area where he lives.

The other three areas can be fully explored in two or three days at most, and then it will be time for them to finally close the net.

"OK then!"

When Wu Yue'e heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes, but she still nodded sensibly.

After dinner, Zhou Tian cleared the dishes and helped Wu Yue'e upstairs and coaxed her to sleep. Perhaps because Wu Yue'e had been given spiritual spring water frequently during this period, her sleep quality was very good. After a while, her breathing became steady.

Seeing that she was already asleep, Zhou Tian opened his eyes, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and left the house carefully.

The night in March was very cold. A bright moon hung high in the sky. Under the hazy moonlight, Zhou Tian moved quickly through the alleys of the family quarters. His spiritual awareness enveloped all the surrounding houses.

The sounds of quarrels, children crying, and even the sounds of exercise between couples constantly entered his ears.

Every house was clearly visible under his spiritual sense, even the one hundred meters underground could not escape his detection. Unknowingly, an hour had passed. Just when he had finished detecting the entire family area and was about to detect the last house, his face changed instantly when his spiritual sense swept over this house.

Under the cover of his spiritual sense, he saw that in this house, under the bed on the first floor, there were actually a large number of paper packages hidden, and the logo on them was actually C7H5N3O6.

"My goodness, this is dynamite, and it's high explosive!"

If this really exploded in the base, the threat it would cause, when he thought of this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, he has not yet ordered the net to be closed. If the net had been closed in advance, the consequences would have been terrible.

For a moment, he was almost drenched in cold sweat.

The more he thought about it, the more fortunate he was. With his spiritual sense, he memorized this house deeply in his mind, and then he scanned it again. After checking that there was no other situation, he walked towards the last house.

After checking the last house, he turned around and hurried back home, quietly opened the door, lay back on the bed, and couldn't help but hold Wu Yue'e tightly in his arms. For the first time, he felt a rare sense of quietness.

Over the next three days, Zhou Tian finally walked around the other three family quarters and found a large amount of high explosives in each of the three quarters, as well as a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in three or four households. However, after secretly investigating these families, he found out that the ancestors of these three or four families had once been big capitalists.

This reduced his suspicion towards those families. When the investigation of the entire base came to an end, Zhou Tian called Fu Lin and prepared to take action in the evening.

Before they knew it, it was already night. In the command area tonight, the office was brightly lit and bustling with people. More than a dozen people were looking at Zhou Tian seriously, waiting for his orders.

"Captain Fu, are the soldiers ready?"

In the office, Zhou Tian looked at Fu Lin calmly and asked.

"Commander, everything is ready!"

Fu Lin said respectfully.

"Okay, pass on my order. It's eight o'clock now. The operation will officially begin at nine o'clock. Also, let our soldiers remember to control the families' quarters with explosives as soon as possible. I don't want any casualties in the family quarters. If it is really impossible to control it, for the safety of the family members, I allow the soldiers to shoot them on the spot!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Fu Lin saluted Zhou Tian, turned around and went to convey the commander-in-chief's order.

"Chang Wen!"

"Chief!"

Chang Wen immediately stood up and saluted Zhou Tian.

"Tell your people to try to catch all the spies in the base. Don't let any of them escape. If anything goes wrong, you will have to apologize to your superiors!"

Zhou Tian said in a cold voice.

"Yes!"

Chang Wen naturally understood what the leader meant, and turned and left silently.

Seeing that there were only a dozen people left in the office, his eyes turned to Liu Chang, the director of the Security Department.

"Director Liu, as for your security department, you must do your best to comfort the family members and other researchers as soon as possible after they take action, and don't cause panic. Also, after today's work is completed, you need to write me a self-criticism!"

"Okay, Commander!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Chang first breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded and retreated silently.

After all, he had never thought that there would be so many spies from other countries in the base. To be honest, this was the fault of their Security Department. Although he felt that he was wronged, it was indeed the responsibility of the Security Department.

Now that the commander-in-chief has allowed them to participate in the arrest, it has given them a chance to redeem themselves. If he still fails to catch them, he will have to bang his head against the wall.

As for the self-criticism, it already showed that the commander-in-chief was going to handle it with care, so he was naturally grateful to the commander-in-chief in his heart.

With Liu Chang's departure, the entire office suddenly became much quieter. Only Zhou Tian was still sitting in the middle, quietly waiting for the results of their actions. Time passed by minute by minute.

Finally, it was past nine o'clock.

In the family area, technical area, factory and other areas, at the same time, many scientific researchers, professors, workers, and family members were controlled by the soldiers who rushed in.

However, no matter how careful the plan was, when arresting spies, it was inevitable that someone would discover something was wrong in advance and a burst of gunfire was heard.

In the quiet night, the sound of gunfire could be heard from far away, but it only lasted less than half an hour before the gunfire was completely over.
