365: I can't hold my breath anymore

Soon, after the investigation concluded, many people were notified for a second physical examination, which was privately arranged by the Enforcement Bureau. Among those notified, some remained calm and actively cooperated with the Medical Bureau's arrangements for the re-examination; others appeared extremely nervous and anxious, and soon, a portion of them were arrested and imprisoned for violent resistance.

The Medical Bureau conducted even stricter and more detailed examinations for those undergoing re-examination. They utilized more advanced testing technologies and equipment, performing comprehensive physical check-ups and blood analyses on every person who was notified.

At this time, rumors also began to circulate within the base. Tian Ming, who was at home, was called to the computer by Shen Yuan.

"Husband, come look, is this person named Zhou Lin a Transformed?" Shen Yuan waved and said.

Tian Ming walked over and looked at the content of the online forum on the screen. The poster named Zhou Lin had posted something.

"The Truth About the Base's Physical Examinations, Do You Really Know?"

Tian Ming glanced at it, frowning. This clickbait title made it highly suspicious of being a marketing account.

Tian Ming calmed himself and continued to read the post's content, which was as follows:

"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Lin. Recently, the base's physical examination activities have been causing a stir, and I was notified for a re-examination. Here, I want to share some things I know with everyone, hoping to reveal the truth behind the physical examinations.

First, I believe most people are very much looking forward to this physical examination, as it is an important measure taken by the base for our health. However, during this examination, I discovered some unsettling things.

To my knowledge, the Medical Bureau used some advanced testing technologies and equipment during the examination process to conduct comprehensive physical check-ups and blood analyses on every person who was notified. This should have been a good thing, but I found that these testing technologies and equipment do not seem entirely reliable.

During the examination process, I encountered a man who claimed to be a Medical Bureau staff member. He told me that as long as I was willing to pay a certain fee, he could guarantee I would pass the examination smoothly. This left me feeling extremely shocked and angry. I cannot imagine that in a place like the base, someone would dare to use physical examinations for personal gain.

I refused the man's request and told my friends about it. However, what shocked me even more was that many people had encountered similar situations. They told me that as long as they paid a certain fee, they could pass the examination smoothly, regardless of their physical condition.

This made me seriously doubt the base's physical examination activities. I can't help but ask, is this examination truly for our health, or for someone's personal gain? Or is there some unspeakable truth hidden within it?

Here, I want to appeal to everyone not to be misled by superficial appearances. We need to remain vigilant and pay attention to the base's physical examination activities to ensure our rights are protected. At the same time, I also hope the base management can thoroughly investigate and deal with this matter, giving us a fair and transparent examination environment.

Finally, I want to say that no matter the results of the examination, we should maintain a positive attitude and healthy lifestyle habits. Only then can we truly have a healthy and happy life.

Thank you, everyone!"

After reading the post, Tian Ming's expression turned somewhat grim. The sophisticated nature of the content suggested this was not a good person, and certainly not a Transformed.

If it were truly a Transformed, they should remain silent at this critical juncture, not make such a loud fuss. Furthermore, with Number Three's monitoring, who would dare to manually alter examination data?

However, Tian Ming still had Number Three connect him to Meng Xian.

"Boss, what's up?" Meng Xian asked.

"Is what that person named Zhou Lin said on the online forum true?" Tian Ming asked.

Meng Xian quickly pulled out his phone and said, "Boss, please wait a moment, I'll check."

Meng Xian quickly found the post. It had just been published not long ago. He quickly finished reading it and felt his scalp tingle.

"Boss, this woman is spouting nonsense! The critical blood data comes directly from the instruments. How could it be manually altered? Number Three is a quantum AI, who could tamper with things in front of it?" Meng Xian quickly explained, "These rumors are truly despicable."

"Don't be nervous. You understand, but ordinary people don't!"

Meng Xian quickly said, "I'll notify the Enforcement Bureau right now to arrest this rumor-mongering woman. Damn it, this is clearly inciting the emotions of ordinary citizens, it's too despicable."

"Don't arrest her. Let her be. I will send two zombies back in a couple of days. They will be at the north gate of the wall; send someone to receive them."

"Boss, which base are you at now?"

Tian Ming smiled and said, "I'm at Northwest Base. This place is the furthest from Beidu, making it easier to infiltrate. I'll notify you once the zombies are sent back. I'll monitor the base's situation in real-time through Number Three. No matter what happens, do not interfere."

Meng Xian asked, somewhat puzzled, "No interference? Won't that cause chaos? These kinds of rumors are very misleading."

"As long as it doesn't appear chaotic on the surface, it's fine. Go find Ji Ruping and discuss this in person. On the online community, there will definitely be big fish coming out to stir things up. If anyone shows their head, keep a close eye on them. Number Three's monitoring has blind spots."

Meng Xian nodded slightly and said, "Understood, Boss!" Meng Xian wasn't foolish; he knew Tian Ming was playing a long game to catch big fish.

Shen Yuan, who was nearby, said, "Perhaps this Zhou Lin is a Transformed; otherwise, she wouldn't be so impatient."

Tian Ming smiled and said, "Whether she's a Transformed or not, you get this post to the top for me, using views and likes, not using an official name. I want to see how many people reply. These Transformed are already starting to get impatient; they are very afraid of being exposed and will actively stir up others' emotions to question the physical examinations."

Shen Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Understood. But husband, are you sure Number One can catch zombies in Northwest Base? He's so far from you, and if he encounters a Corpse King, it would be bad. What if it angers Jiang Chen, and they start infinite reproduction?"

"I'm not afraid of infinite reproduction; the ones reproduced are brainless zombies. I sent a clone. I didn't expect Jiang Chen to keep his promise anyway. In fact, his arrangement of Transformed already shows he's not keeping his promise. In war, there aren't that many rules to talk about. The agreed year, both sides might not be able to wait for a year," Tian Ming said slowly.

In reality, neither Jiang Chen nor Tian Ming would fully abide by the one-year agreement. Things like the leaders of both sides not directly participating in the war—as long as they weren't caught in the act, it didn't count. Whoever honestly abided by the agreement would surely suffer losses.

As the leader of the human faction, Tian Ming naturally considered the interests of the entire group. As for agreements, in the face of the group's interests, they were nothing.
