Charlie once felt that the search for the specific address of 547’s lineage of dead soldiers might be as difficult as reaching for the sky.
The reason for this was that the mysterious organization had extremely tight control over the dead soldiers, preventing them from perceiving the exact time, and also preventing them from feeling external light, temperature, sound, and the changing seasons outside the world.
Therefore, 547 did not even know which one of the seven continents he lived in, let alone whether he was in the tropics or the cold zone.
Even the only living person could not come up with any substantial clues, so it was even more impossible for outsiders to find this place.
However, Merlin accurately found clues that the mysterious organization had no control over.
Earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons were all powerful natural phenomena. Even if a strong bunker could isolate typhoons and tsunamis, no matter how strong the bunker was, it was simply impossible for it to isolate the strong shock caused by an earthquake.
Those dead soldiers imprisoned in the dark or in some kind of underground fortification might not be able to perceive the sunlight and starry sky or any real sound and temperature from the outside world, but no matter how deep they were underground, they definitely must have felt something when an earthquake struck.
Moreover, violent earthquakes did not occur often. If it had happened before, they did not need a very precise timeline, and it could also be judged roughly. This way, as long as the clues were relatively consistent, there was a high probability that the clues could correspond to them.
However, Merlin was not overly optimistic. He said to Charlie with a grave expression, “Young Master Wade, the survivor that you mentioned is the only clue that can be found at the moment that is related to the mysterious organization. I’ll only be able to find clues to the mysterious organization behind them if I can find their place of residence successfully, but if I can’t find their residence or if they have already evacuated this group of dead soldiers by the time I find them, I’m afraid that this clue will be cut off completely. After all, the group of dead soldiers failed their mission completely the last time. The mysterious organization might have moved all the dead soldiers to another location out of caution.”
“This organization that you mentioned is extremely powerful. Once I really start to find them, it is very likely that they will also find me as well.”
“Besides, it’s not a case of a police officer catching criminals. In cases where a police officer catches a criminal, the worse result is just that the person might run away and the police fail to catch him. However, this mysterious organization is much stronger compared to me, and it might even be stronger than you. Once we have contact with them, the situation may get out of control, and we may even be exposed to them.”
Having said that, Merlin said with a solemn expression, “Young Master Wade, I’m not telling you this because I’m afraid of death or because I want to retreat. After all, you saved my life, and it’s all thanks to you that my wife and children can enjoy what they have today. It doesn’t matter if I die, but I just hope that you can prepare well in advance. On one hand, you should protect yourself, and on the other hand, I hope that you can also try to protect my family as well.”
Charlie was silent for a moment and then said with a solemn expression, “Chief Lammy, what you need to do now is to work with 547. Use your professional skills and the natural disaster data you have on hand as well as 547’s memory. You should lock onto the other party’s position without making any contact first. I’ll do it myself if we really need to make contact, and I don’t need you to take the risk.”
