Walter had the most profound research on meteorites, and Lin Feng needed to get some information from him.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s question, the squad leader instinctively frowned.
He hadn’t expected this person to call Lord Walter by name.
Although they were both Level Six, researchers had higher authority and status than combat personnel. In his eyes, this was disrespectful.
However, he dared not say anything, nor did he dare to show it, as Lin Feng was two levels above him.
He immediately replied respectfully.
"Lord Walter returned to headquarters yesterday afternoon. He’s probably researching that thing at the meteorite site right now."
Lin Feng acknowledged the information with a grunt, maintaining his aloof demeanor.
The squad leader was used to this; in this apocalypse, strength was everything.
Furthermore, the hierarchical system of the Life Gene Association was even more terrifying. If a Level Six existence like Lin Feng suspected him of wrongdoing, he could eliminate him on the spot without any evidence…
Soon, Lin Feng entered the institute’s main gate.
Notably, there was a small hitch at the entrance.
Entry to headquarters required swiping an identity card.
However, Lin Feng had just used his ability, not his actual card.
At the entrance, two cameras monitored Lin Feng’s every move.
Lin Feng cast a sidelong glance at the cameras and began to search himself unhurriedly.
At the same time, he furrowed his brow slightly.
“Hiss… Strange,” Lin Feng muttered softly to himself, as if he couldn’t find something.
The squad leader beside him’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly stepped forward.
“What’s wrong, Lord Shanhai? Is there a problem with your identity card?”
He didn’t suspect anything, as he had already verified Lord Shanhai’s identity card and information on the system terminal.
Lin Feng grunted again, his brow furrowed in annoyance.
“I just put it in my pocket. Did it fall out…”
After speaking, he met the squad leader’s gaze.
In his indifferent eyes, the squad leader read a contempt for life and couldn’t help but shiver.
Subconsciously, he overlooked how preposterous it was for a Level Six mutant to lose his identity card.
However, he understood Lin Feng’s intention.
“Use my card first, Lord!”
Like a sycophant, the squad leader took out his card and swiped it.
At the same time, he shouted to someone behind him, “Lan, quickly go check the beach where Lord Shanhai was earlier, see if the card dropped there!”
Turning back, he put on a smile again.
“Lord, you can use my card for now, but it will only get you to the twentieth floor!”
“Don’t worry, Lord, I’ll bring your card to you as soon as I find it! Please enter headquarters first!”
“You are very good!”
Lin Feng’s furrowed brow relaxed. He smiled and patted the squad leader’s shoulder, offering words of encouragement.
Good, he had foresight and Lin Feng’s acting hadn’t been wasted!
Without further ado, Lin Feng walked through the opened gate.
There were cameras everywhere here, so using his confusion ability might risk discovery.
Holding the squad leader’s card, Lin Feng swaggered to the elevator and swiped it.
The internal architecture was decent, much more pleasing to the eye than those of S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, one drawback was that he needed to swipe his identity card everywhere, which annoyed Lin Feng.
Furthermore, he couldn’t access some areas that required dual authentication.
But it was fine, he would just make himself a new one in the archives.
And the archives were conveniently located on the nineteenth floor, and did not require dual authentication.
What a coincidence, the squad leader’s card Lin Feng had in hand was just what he needed to get there.
Lin Feng immediately pressed the button for the nineteenth floor.
The elevator descended rapidly, and in a short while, Lin Feng arrived at the archives.
The archives were vast, filled with all sorts of paper documents and storage equipment.
This was the processing center for information on all members of the Life Gene Association and various information on this planet.
However, it did not contain the research data Lin Feng needed.
That stuff required going to floors below the thirtieth.
And the meteorite itself was stored on the top floor, the forty-ninth.
In the archives, there was a work area where dozens of people sat at computers, working diligently.
Lin Feng casually walked up to a staff member, glanced at the computer screen, and then looked at the staff member’s name tag level. He had an idea.
He reached out and patted the staff member’s shoulder.
“Girl, my identity card is having some issues, please make me a new one.”
It was a young female data storage personnel, and the youngest among them.
Judging by her appearance, her parents likely held a special position here, otherwise she wouldn’t have the supervisor’s badge on her chest.
The female staff member turned around and looked at Lin Feng with confusion.
“What could be wrong with an identity card?”
Those things were made of special materials and rarely had problems, though it wasn’t impossible.
Lin Feng shrugged and explained, “I accidentally hit it during a previous battle.”
“I need to go down twenty floors now, and I can’t without an identity card.”
“See, I’m even borrowing someone else’s card right now!” Lin Feng showed the squad leader’s card.
All of this sounded plausible, yet also somewhat implausible.
But the young girl couldn’t find anything wrong, only feeling a hint of doubt.
“Alright, I’ll make you a new one. Please enter the 168-digit access code here and complete the information authentication!”
The young girl handed the keyboard to Lin Feng and took out a strange-looking small metal box.
168 digits, Lin Feng had to admit the Life Gene Association liked to play games. With such a long code, they weren’t afraid of people forgetting it and being unable to verify their identity…
When the staff member saw Lin Feng’s information displayed successfully, she let go of the last bit of doubt in her heart.
Level Six, indeed. If it was a battle between Level Six mutants, damaging the card was normal. This had happened before.
She immediately and decisively began making a new card for Lin Feng.
Ten minutes later, Lin Feng walked out of the archives with a new identity card.
Well, he had successfully infiltrated the enemy’s ranks.
Lin Feng smacked his lips.
If only he could infiltrate the First Sequence so easily.
Walking to the elevator, Lin Feng pressed the button for the twenty-fifth floor.
The twenty-fifth to twenty-seventh floors were the research personnel’s area.
He had just learned from that young girl that Walter was currently in a laboratory on the twenty-fifth floor.
With no obstacles, Lin Feng soon found one of the most important figures in the Life Gene Association, and an indispensable source of information for Lin Feng’s mission, Walter.
