While the assistant went to verify, Fu Zongshang asked, "Are the satellite cameras operational?"
A staff member responsible for satellite surveillance answered, "Yes."
"Good. Show me the satellite footage of the area where the distress signal was sent." Fu Zongshang ordered.
"Right away." The staff member said as he quickly typed on his keyboard.
Before long, the main screen split, displaying five different surveillance feeds besides the map.
Fu Zongshang and his staff watched the surveillance feeds and quickly realized that the armored vehicles did not belong to them.
Pointing at the insignia on the side of the armored vehicles, one of the staff members said, "Commander Fu, these people are from The Ark."
Fu Zongshang’s eyes flickered for a second as he observed the armored vehicles. While he was observing them, his assistant returned.
"Commander Fu, there are no missing agents," he reported.
Hearing this, Fu Zongshang’s frown deepened. He muttered, "No missing agents… then how did The Ark get one of our badges?"
His assistant overheard this and handed him a document. "Commander, you might find the answer in this report."
Pulled from his thoughts, Fu Zongshang took the document and read through it. After a moment, he chuckled and handed it back to his assistant.
Rubbing his unshaven chin, Fu Zongshang said, "Yuchi is doing an excellent job. He actually managed to plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of The Ark members."
Accepting the document, the assistant asked, "Since Captain Peng gave the badge to that person, should we intervene?"
Fu Zongshang considered the question before turning to the staff and asked, "Who is near that area besides Yehao and Yuechuan?"
The staff member quickly checked the database and answered, "There is another uncategorized member nearby."
"Who is that?" Fu Zongshang asked.
The staff read Yao Ran’s file and replied, "Her name is Yao Ran."
Fu Zongshang’s brows lifted slightly when he heard this. "Is she alone?" He asked again.
The staff member shook his head. "No, she is currently with Captain Wu and Captain Yao."
Hearing this, Fu Zongshang rubbed his chin, deep in thought. ’Did Yehao and Yuechuan manage to convince Xiao Ran to join us?’
As he speculated, another staff member suddenly reported, "Commander Fu, the person who sent the distress signal is contacting us."
"Accept the call." Fu Zongshang ordered.
"Yes, Sir." A second later, the staff member confirmed, "Commander, the line is open."
Fu Zongshang wasted no time and asked, "Who are you?"
The young scientist on the other end pressed himself into a corner, keeping his head low to avoid the gaze of the Black Wolf members.
Lowering his voice, he whispered, "I’m a scientist working for The Ark. I heard from Peng Yuchi that you are willing to accept defectors and help us escape?"
Hearing that he was a scientist from The Ark, Fu Zongshang’s expression darkened.
