Huang Renjie and Shin stood aside and discussed for a while. After careful consideration, they decided to consult with their other two companions about the possible location of King Cobra. Huang Renjie glanced at Shin and nodded, indicating the need to gather everyone's wisdom and ideas. 0
 
Later, they turned and walked towards Auntie Hong and Kevin, sharing their discussion results with the other two members. Huang Renjie quietly watched Auntie Hong, Kevin, and Shin, then began to explain the possible environment needed for the control center of King Cobra. 0
 
 
"To carry out a massive network attack, King Cobra needs an extremely specialized location," he said, his gaze focused and serious. "First, it must have a large amount of cooling systems, as the operation of numerous servers and equipment generates a significant amount of heat. This location should have powerful cooling equipment to ensure that all devices can operate normally." 0
 
He continued to explain, "Additionally, King Cobra requires a large amount of power supply, as running such a large-scale attack demands immense energy. This may mean that they would choose a location with a strong power infrastructure, or set up generators and energy storage devices within the control center." 0
 
 
His voice became more severe: "Most importantly, this place needs to be highly secure and not easily discovered. We must consider that King Cobra will not expose the control center to risk." 0
 
Huang Renjie stopped, letting this information settle among the four of them. They all knew that finding King Cobra's control center required careful consideration and thorough investigation. After hearing this, Auntie Hong and Kevin looked at each other, clearly excited about this new topic of discussion. 0
 
 
Then Huang Renjie turned on the computer and launched the map application. Pointing at the screen in the southern part of the city, he said, "The primary location we need to consider is the southern district, especially the industrial area. This is the starting point, combined with the control of King Cobra by the mysterious organization. There shouldn't be many places he can frequent, so it's highly likely that his location is right here!" he said. "Moreover, King Cobra needs extensive equipment to operate, and these devices usually require a lot of space and energy, so it's almost certain that it's here in the industrial area." 0
 
His finger slid across the screen, listing several possible locations. "There's a steel manufacturing plant here, which fits the criteria we mentioned earlier, and it's located on the edge of the southern district, relatively discreet." 0
 
 
Next, he continued to list other possibilities: "There is also a large data center called 'Sunshine Electronic Data Center,' which is another potential location. In addition, there is a large hospital called 'Excellent Health Hospital' in the southern part of the city, which may have enough space to accommodate the control center equipment." 0
 
He paused and looked at the other three people, waiting for their opinions and suggestions. At this point, Kevin broke the silence and suddenly asked, "If they want to cover their tracks, they probably wouldn't choose a place that can be easily seen on the computer, right?" 0
 
 
Kevin's question has sparked Huang Renjie and Shin's contemplation. They fell into silence, beginning to discuss this crucial issue. To find the control center of King Cobra, they not only need to consider possible locations but also think about the deceptive strategies King Cobra might adopt. 0
 
Just then, Auntie Hong kept clicking on a location on the computer with the mouse and voiced her confusion, "Hmm, strange? There used to be an ice cream factory here last year, called 'Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory,' but why isn't it showing up at all?" 0
 
 
Auntie Hong used the mouse to click on the real-life photos on the screen, carefully observing. Her brow furrowed slightly, showing a skeptical expression. Under everyone's gaze, she spoke up and asked, "This factory closed down just last year, but now it looks like it has been completely demolished, and so cleanly and quickly. Could this photo be fake?" 0
 
Auntie Hong's suspicion sparked a collective discussion. Several people gathered around Auntie Hong, carefully examining the photos together. He pointed to one of them, a photo showing the location, empty and completely devoid of anything. 0
 
 
"You're right," Huang Renjie said, "The factory closed down last year, and even if it's really been demolished, the level of cleanliness is still very unusual. If that's the case, it can only prove one thing - someone deliberately erased the traces to make others think this is just an empty space without a factory." 0
 
Shin added with a frown, "If this is false information, then King Cobra is obviously very cautious and doesn't want us to find their control center. We must handle this intelligence more carefully to ensure that our actions won't be detected by them in advance." 0
 
 
Kevin then suggested, "Let's try to obtain information about the 'Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory' from other sources. Perhaps someone local has inside knowledge. We can't just stop the investigation here; maybe this is just part of a larger conspiracy." 0
 
As the four of them discussed information about the factory, the internet suddenly became extremely slow. They began trying to use their phones to search for information, but the situation did not improve. It seemed that the internet was under immense pressure. 0
 
 
"What's going on?" Shin frowned as his phone also showed a slow internet connection. 0
 
Huang Renjie's phone rang, and he answered to hear the voice of Rose. Her voice came through urgently: "Huang Renjie, our network is under attack! A large number of false messages are flooding the network nodes, and it has already started to affect network stability. The attack has come early, we must take action!" 0
 
 
After hearing the anxious voice of Rose, he quickly brought the phone to his ear and responded nervously, "Rose, are you sure it's an attack? Is there any indication that this is the work of King Cobra?" 0
 
Rose's voice remained urgent on the phone, "We are analyzing carefully, but the scale and method of the attack are very similar to previous actions by King Cobra. They are looting our network nodes, attempting to disrupt our investigation. We must deal with this issue immediately, or our investigation will be seriously threatened!" 0
 
 
The voice on the phone was filled with anxiety as she nervously warned, "If this continues, the national network will be overwhelmed by the spread of the zombie virus, and DDoS attacks will become more severe. At that time, we really won't be able to stop it, and the entire network will descend into chaos!" 0
 
Huang Renjie took a deep breath, knowing that there was no time to waste. He turned to the others and said with a serious expression, "Did you hear that? This is not just our problem; the entire country's network is in danger. We must act immediately, find the source of this attack, and stop it, or the consequences will be unimaginable." 0
 
 
Other people nodded in agreement, understanding the urgency of the situation and the need to go all out to prevent the network from collapsing and to stop King Cobra from continuing to evade capture. A strong determination enveloped them as they prepared to face this cyber battle together, safeguarding the security of the country. 0
 
In response to this emergency situation, the four individuals demonstrated a high level of coordination and readiness. Huang Renjie and Kevin worked together to replace the vehicle's tires, carefully inspecting each part to ensure that the car would not encounter any issues during operation. They collaborated with each other and swiftly completed the task, ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle. 0
 
 
At the same time, Shin was busy preparing a series of simple but practical tactical tools, including smoke bombs and incendiary bombs. These tools would be used when necessary to create opportunities for disruption, confusion, or escape. He checked his pistol, ensuring that the bullet count was sufficient. Despite having only one magazine, he knew that this could be the last line of defense and must be used carefully. 0
 
Auntie Hong was not to be outdone. Although she was not skilled in tactics and weapons, she wanted to contribute in her own way. She quickly gathered some ingredients and began preparing a simple but nutritious dinner. She believed that everyone needed to maintain their strength and morale, and that being well-fed would better prepare them for the challenges ahead. 0
 
 
Auntie Hong's sudden actions took some people by surprise, but her sincerity and care warmed everyone's hearts. Shin couldn't help but smile and say, "I'm sorry, we were all too nervous and almost forgot to take a good rest. Thank you, Auntie Hong." 0
 
Kevin nodded in agreement and said, " Auntie Hong is right. We need to stay calm, have a good meal, and prepare for the next steps." 0
 
 
Huang Renjie also smiled and said, "Yes, eating is very important. Each of us has our own expertise, and Auntie Hong's expertise is taking care of us." 0
 
The four of them sat together, enjoying Auntie Hong's warm meal, feeling the team spirit and support between them. This meal not only filled their stomachs but also prepared them to face the physical and moral challenges ahead. 0
 
 
When the night was already deep and the clock pointed to midnight, the four of them were ready to set off to the "Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory" located in the southern part of the city to investigate the truth. They crossed the quiet night, and the car's engine made a low hum in the silence. 0
 
On their way to the "Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory," the four of them felt a complex mix of emotions. They all knew that they were about to face a mission full of danger and uncertainty, which made them feel uneasy. However, there was also a sense of excitement because they knew that this mission might be the key to unlocking the mystery. 0
 
 
Huang Renjie tightly grips the steering wheel, his brows furrowed as he contemplates the upcoming challenges. Kevin sits beside him, his gaze fixed ahead, hoping he's prepared for any situation. Shin in the back seat, looks resolute, ready to act at a moment's notice. Auntie Hong sits quietly in the back, her expression unusually serious, even though she doesn't understand the full impact of what's about to happen. 0
 
The four-person team drives from the city's bright lights into a relatively remote industrial area. The streets here are narrow and desolate, with most factories and buildings hidden in the silence of the night. As they move forward, it's as if they've traveled through time to the location of the "Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory." However, when they see the factory, they can't help but feel surprised. 0
 
 
The factory still stands here, completely different from the clean emptiness shown on the real map. In reality, the factory still maintains its integrity. The four of them got out of the car and stood in front of the factory, gazing at the appearance of the building, filled with questions and unease. 0
 
There seems to be no signs of life around the factory, just silence. Their car parked at the entrance of the factory, the sound of the engine gradually disappeared, leaving only the howling of the night wind. The four of them seemed to be in an abandoned world, and this desolate scene made them feel a chill. 0
 
 
"The Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory" is tightly closed, with a thin layer of dust covering the iron gate. It doesn't look like it has been abandoned for a long time. There are no obvious signs of rust on the gate, and the light bulb next to the gate is still on, casting a faint light on the ground and illuminating the entrance of the factory. 0
 
The factory itself is a two-story building with a sturdy-looking exterior and no obvious damage. Although the sign above the door looks a bit old, the words "Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory" are still recognizable. Most of the windows are intact, without broken glass or old wooden boards covering them, allowing a vague view of the interior from the outside. 0
 
 
The appearance of the factory does not show obvious signs of abandonment and desolation, as if it is only temporarily closed but filled with an atmosphere of waiting to be operational again. The four people stood at the door, as if standing on the edge of the unknown, ready to enter this mysterious factory and begin their investigation, with an irresistible mix of excitement and apprehension enveloping their minds. 0
 
At this moment, Kevin said, "Is there really someone here? It's too quiet here, isn't it?" Kevin's concern began to spread among the four, as the silence of the factory seemed somewhat unusual. Shin, on the other hand, focused on investigating the traces, carefully observing the doorknob and running his fingers over it. Suddenly, his expression became serious as he pointed to several spots on the doorknob, saying, "Someone must have come in and out here. Although we can't be sure if it's King Cobra, at least someone has been here." He pointed out that those spots were cleaner than other areas, indicating that someone's hands had frequently touched those places, leaving behind traces. 0
 
 
Shin gently pushed open the door, which creaked as it opened. As they entered the "Snow Plum Ice Cream Factory," they immediately felt a sense of eerie gloom. The factory was silent, with no sign of any human presence. 0
 
It was as if the four of them had entered the body of a dead monster, the massive building filled with emptiness and stillness. The factory equipment lay motionless, with no indication that anyone had been working or moving around. The eerie silence sent shivers down their spines, but they knew that important clues might be hidden here, so they had to continue their investigation. 0
