tkworld Chapter 6 Panic! The Reborn Individuals Are in an Uproar!
Chapter 6 Panic! The Reborn Individuals Are in an Uproar!
In a deep, unfathomable underground command center in the capital city.
A huge electronic map covered the entire wall.
A dozen or so scarlet dots of light, like nails, pierced into major cities across the country, each representing the real-time location of a reborn individual.
The entire center was so quiet that only the low hum of the server and one's own heartbeat could be heard.
"Report! East China Sea Action Team in position!"
"Report! Yunnan action team in position!"
"Report! The Beijing Action Team is in position!"
Calm reports rang out one after another in the encrypted channel.
Qin Bing stood in front of the command platform, her back straight, her eyes even colder than the data stream on the screen.
"Attention all units, operation codename 'Scavenger'."
Her voice, transmitted through the microphone, instantly reached the earpieces of dozens of action teams across the country.
Objective: To take control of all respawned individuals on the list.
"Operational principle: Arrest if possible; if resistance is encountered, kill on the spot!"
"Operation begins!"
At the command, it was as if an invisible net suddenly tightened across the land of Kyushu.
……
VIP lounge at the Beijing Stock Exchange.
Zhang Wei leaned back comfortably in the leather sofa, holding an expensive cup of Blue Mountain coffee, watching the wildly fluctuating K-line on the screen, his face full of undisguised smugness.
"Now!"
He abruptly pressed the short-selling button.
Tens of millions of dollars poured into the market like a flood, instantly causing a small ripple.
In his past life, he used this very skill to accumulate his initial capital before the apocalypse.
He's going to earn it back tenfold, a hundredfold, in this lifetime!
"Once this wave of profiteering is over, I'll be able to compete with Beijing's housing prices!" Zhang Wei thought smugly.
"Bang!"
The heavy solid wood door of the VIP room was suddenly smashed open from the outside by a tremendous force.
Several men in uniforms, with eyes as sharp as eagles, filed in.
"Mr. Zhang Wei?"
The leader flashed his identification, his tone devoid of any emotion.
Zhang Wei's mind went blank for a moment, and he spilled coffee all over his pants.
"Hello, this is the Economic Crime Investigation Division. You are suspected of malicious market manipulation and insider trading. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"What? I...I didn't! You've got the wrong person!"
The cold handcuffs clicked shut on his wrists, dragging him straight from his dream of getting rich into reality.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds.
At the same time, a virtual channel (also known as the bullet screen space) that only reborn people could see instantly exploded with excitement.
[Holy crap! Old Zhang's gone in! Right in front of me!]
[What's going on? The Economic Crime Investigation Department's officers seem to have appeared out of nowhere! One second they're dreaming, the next they're wearing silver bracelets?]
Didn't he say this deal was foolproof? That even the Securities and Futures Commission couldn't find out?
[We're doomed! There's definitely a mole among us! There's a traitor among us!]
Deep in the Ailao Mountains of Yunnan.
"Medicine King" Li Ming carries an entrenching tool.
He stood panting in front of a cave covered in vines, his face contorted with a morbid fanaticism.
"This is it! Absolutely! This is where I found that thousand-year-old He Shou Wu in my past life!"
He eagerly parted the vines, about to crawl inside, when suddenly a huge roar came from above, and a gust of wind swirled down, pelting fallen leaves.
Li Ming looked up in shock to see a dark green military helicopter hovering above his head.
"Those below, immediately cease your unauthorized intrusion! You have entered a Level 1 military restricted area!"
"Repeated! You have entered a Level 1 military restricted area!"
The belly hatch slid open, and several fully armed special forces soldiers quickly disembarked, their dark gun barrels instantly locking onto him.
Li Ming was completely stunned.
"A military restricted area? How could this godforsaken place be..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was pinned to the ground with a standard grappling move, his cheek pressed against the cold, damp mud, his mouth stuffed with weeds.
His mind went blank, with only one thought remaining.
"Impossible... This was clearly a wild mountain valley in my past life..."
The comments section erupted once again.
[Even the Medicine King has passed away? What kind of efficiency is this?!]
[Wow! A military restricted area? That's such a hardcore reason! When did the national team become so free?]
Something's not right! Something's really not right! First the economic crime investigation department, then the military—this is definitely a premeditated and precise strike!
[A mole! It must be a mole! Which bastard betrayed us completely?]

Command Center
Su Chen sat on the sofa in the corner, holding a cup of Longjing tea brewed by Qin Bing's assistant, leisurely watching the barrage of comments in front of him.
The scene was like a New Year celebration, filled with panicked wails and mutual suspicion and curses.
He figured it out: he could see those chat interfaces that were unique to reborn individuals.
But his cheat ability isn't just that; it's that he can see into deeper levels...
Su Chen slowly blew on the tea leaves, took a sip, and felt exceptionally relaxed.
"Heavenly Eye"
Qin Bing walked over unnoticed, her clear, cold voice carrying a subtle undercurrent that she herself was unaware of.
The Heavenly Eye!
It was a code name personally given to him by Elder Long.
"Um?"
"Next goal."
"Next one..." Su Chen scrolled through the comments, as if ordering takeout:
"Code name 'Hacker,' real name Wang Peng, 27 years old, an arrogant guy who is now trying to hack into the military's database."
Qin Bing's eye twitched.
Su Chen tapped his finger in the air, as if manipulating a virtual map:
"He thought he was safe because he used seven proxy servers, but his physical location was actually... Zhonghai City, Feiyu Internet Cafe, C section, row 3, machine number 8."
Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Bing immediately picked up the communicator and issued instructions in concise language.
In less than ten minutes, another red dot on the map went out.
The wailing in the comments had turned into desperate sobs.
[Another one! Another one gone! And it hasn't even been half a day!]
There's definitely a mole! And this mole can see our every move!
Stop talking! Stop thinking about it! I now suspect he can monitor our thoughts! I'm going to go to sleep and do nothing!
Everyone should keep a low profile these days! Surviving until the end of the world is victory!
Seeing these comments that were quicker to back down than anyone else, Su Chen laughed.
Standing beside him, Qin Bing watched the red dots disappear one by one on the big screen, and then looked at the calm and composed young man in front of her. A sense of absurdity arose spontaneously.
Can this person really see the future?
No, what he saw was not the future.
He sees everyone's "present".
This capability is practically the ultimate intelligence weapon tailor-made for a nation!
"Su Chen," she suddenly said.
"Um?"
"You...are you really just an ordinary college student?"
Su Chen turned his head and met her probing gaze.
Suddenly, he grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "What else? Did I spring out of a rock?"
This slightly flippant joke shut down all the questions Qin Bing had prepared.
She was silent.
She didn't know who Su Chen was, but she knew that this person's value was immeasurable.
The operation continues with lightning speed!
In just three days.
The dozen or so reborn individuals on Su Chen's list, from south to north and from east to west, were all apprehended and brought to justice for various unexpected reasons.
Not a single one escaped.
Every action was executed with the precision of a surgical procedure, plunging the entire community of reborn individuals into a deathly silence.

Deep within a heavily guarded private estate
A young man dressed in a simple white shirt is sitting in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, scrolling through news on a tablet.
"Donghai City police have cracked a major arms smuggling case, and the main culprit has been apprehended..."
"Beijing's stock market has been hit with a precise strike, with several big players arrested for insider trading..."
"The Yunnan military announced that it had successfully conducted an anti-infiltration exercise in the border mountainous area and captured several 'spies'..."
The news items, seemingly unrelated, were, in his eyes, strung together to form a clear narrative.
Those were all his pawns, his first move in preparation for the end of the world.
Now, they have all been cleanly and efficiently swept off the chessboard.
His gaze gradually turned cold, eventually becoming a bottomless, icy pool.
"interesting!"
I slowly stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the dazzling lights of the city below.
"It seems there's been an interesting variable in this life."
Emperor Yan—Xiao Fan—stretched out his hand, as if to hold the entire city in his palm.
"No matter who you are, daring to block my way..."
"They must die!"
