The industrial core contains almost the essence of the entire civilization, applying technology to the extreme.
And while Sumo was carefully studying the attributes identified by the system, this industrial core.
In front of the security wall of Tianyuan territory, Sid, who has now been promoted to the director of the entire external relations department of Qinggang New City, happened to lead his team to the city gate.
Compared with the poor two people who came together the first time, this time the improvised visiting team consisted of more than ten people.
However, except for him and his deputy Payne, who were considered normal people, the others were disguised special warriors or spies who had undergone a lot of training, coming with different missions to spy on intelligence.
Since he had already been here once, Sid submitted the admission application very skillfully.
The guards received the news in advance and did not create any difficulties. The entire team of envoys was temporarily arranged at the outpost behind the city wall to undergo security inspection.
The cold rain that brought down the temperature rapidly has come to an end, and the dark clouds in the sky have begun to disperse to the surrounding area.
The charcoal fire in the temporary tent crackled loudly, exuding warmth and driving away the cold.
However, no one dares to take it lightly.
Unlike the residents of the shelter, they thought that Tianyuan Shelter was just a gathering place that was as small as possible.
Everyone present knew very well what the managers here had done in the past few days.
Especially when deputy manager Tang Enqian warned him not to offend the other party even if he failed to complete the task.
In a sense, the status of Tianyuan Refuge is comparable to that of Qinggang!
"I am Yang Feng, the guard captain in charge of security. You can call me by my nickname: Go to the dock. Forget it, you can just call me Xiao Yang."
"Everyone needs to undergo personal inspection, including any item on your body, you must clearly tell us what it is used for, otherwise you will have to stay here and wait for the mission to take it away when they return."
The tent door opened, and "Xiao Yang" wearing a military green cotton coat walked in, his eyes scanning from left to right.
His intuition told him that these people were not simple.
Although they all look quite ordinary, will the envoy team really send ordinary people?
This is obviously unreasonable.
"Captain Yang, there was no inspection the last time you came here?"
Sid was startled and asked subconsciously.
But as soon as he said the words, he felt something was wrong. Wasn't it equivalent to telling the other party that he and others had something wrong in their minds?
"Last time was last time, this time is this time!"
After tapping the cardboard in his hand, Xiao Yang showed an undeniable expression on his face.
He did still remember Sid's face, because there were not many outsiders coming to the shelter.
Especially the envoys from the largest shelter in Qinggang City, of course they were impressed.
But this time, before they came, the Security Department had already sent instructions in advance.
Let alone letting loose, even if you are not strict enough to even take off your underwear to take a look, it is already a kindness to these people.
Could it be that the relationship between the territory and Clear Harbor Sanctuary has deteriorated now?
Not knowing what was going on here, Xiao Yang did not dare to make his own decisions and could only strictly follow the instructions.
"Okay, let's start with me."
After exchanging glances with each other, Sid stood up and began to take things out of his body one by one.
"This is tree oil ointment. It is used to lubricate the skin. As you know, Captain Yang, it is very dry now."
"Put it on your skin and let me see."
As soon as Sid took out a small bottle and before he finished speaking, Xiao Yang stopped him and gestured with his mouth.
"All right."
Of course he wouldn't lie. The bottle contained indeed tree oil, but what was wrapped inside was a locator used to collect map information.
Gently pour a little of Sid and apply it on your bare arms.
"Do you want to try?" In order to show his sincerity, he even stretched out his arm.
But what is surprising is that Xiao Yang just sniffed it lightly and then turned serious.
"This is contraband and there is a risk of explosion. You cannot bring it in!"
"ah?"
"Do you have any objections?"
Seeing Xiao Yang's strong look, Sidno said twice and had no choice but to place the bottle honestly on the tray next to him.
There was no way, and he couldn't completely confirm to the other party whether this thing would explode.
If the locator inside is exposed during the test, it will be all over!
"This is insect repellent water. When applied to the body, it will block mosquito bites. It is a necessity for us living in the city."
Not daring to continue taking out those strange things, Sid took out a vial specially used to cover it up this time.
The water inside was indeed insect repellent, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But what made him dumbfounded was that this time Xiao Yang didn't even think about asking him to open it and try it. He just raised his eyebrows.
"Really? Then take it with you. Speaking of which, there are a lot of mosquitoes in our territory."
"Damn it. It's already winter."
"ah?"
There was another soft sound, and everyone in Sid was stunned, and the other people watching him were also a little confused.
But he quickly reacted and continued to take out a square box.
This is an emergency communicator used to communicate with the shelter, but it has a hidden filming function.
Although Tang En didn't expect Sid to be able to enter some secret place and take photos of it.
But it would also be great if you could take pictures of the general conditions of the other shelter and the living standards of the residents.
"This is the emergency communicator, it's for"
"It's not allowed. Do you think we will take action against the envoy team? Or do you think there is any danger within our territory?"
Without even looking at it, Xiao Yang refused.
It’s a joke. It’s okay if it’s a communicator. An emergency communicator.
urgent!
Isn't that a slap in the face?
However, his decisive reaction made Sid's heart sink again, and an inexplicable thought appeared.
Could it be that the other party has already received the message, or detected abnormalities in them through other means?
Otherwise, why could the anomaly be discovered so decisively?
With this thought in mind, Sid reluctantly took out a black box the size of a baby's fist again.
This is a souvenir disguised as a music box, but it contains a bug that can be turned on for eight hours.
Before Tang En left, he also asked him to bring this with him to collect information about the conversation with the manager.
But this time, before he could explain the purpose, Xiao Yang was already shaking his head.
"This is."
"Not allowed."
"But I haven't said it yet."
"Are you going to question my judgment?"
All right.
You are awesome, you want to trick me, right?
Sid still didn't understand that the other party had already known about the abnormality of the items on their bodies.
Maybe when entering the city gate, maybe when staying in this "special tent".
The other party has already adopted special scanning methods to detect abnormalities in the items on their bodies.
If I don't bring it up directly now, I guess I don't want to break my skin and use this disgusting method to force him.
After communicating with the people around him with his eyes, it turned out that Sid was not the only one to notice the abnormality.
With a slight nod, these people began to take out items one by one.
There are quite a few.
I don't know where they are hidden. Almost everyone's personal belongings can fill a tray.
Almost all of them are things that no one on Earth has ever seen.
When we got to the back, Xiao Yang was not sure what he could bring and what he couldn't bring.
Just go with your own feelings and keep whatever you like, and leave whatever you don't like.
After about half an hour, the inspection ended only after everyone in the tent had stripped down to their underwear.
"Thank you for your cooperation. All your personal belongings will be stored in the safe."
"We will have someone dedicated to receive you later, please be patient."
Instructing the guard to pick up the tray, Xiao Yang opened the tent and everyone filed out.
It wasn't until his voice and shadow completely disappeared from sight that the more than ten people sitting in the tent breathed a sigh of relief.
It's really frustrating.
To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve experienced the feeling of being so tied up on someone else’s territory.
They were questioned by each other like prisoners.
But it's okay, even though most of the problematic things were found by the other party using special means.
However, the most important purposes of this trip and the corresponding equipment were successfully preserved.
Used to detect signal transceivers in industrial cores.
Energy reactors used to trace the origin of explosives.
And special storage boxes for storing and preserving items.
These three are the most critical. The first two can find the lost core and the weakness of Tianyuan Sanctuary.
The latter can store special items and bring them completely back to the shelter for research.
There is nothing we can do about the others now that they have been taken away.
I believe that after going back and telling Tang En this serious news, he should be able to understand everyone's helplessness.
After waiting for less than ten minutes, the "special person" in Xiao Yang's mouth walked in.
Sid was no stranger, it was the same moth who showed him the way when he entered the territory last time.
As the chief tester of Lianmeng Steel Factory, due to the recent disaster that affected the complete shutdown of the factory, I couldn't stay idle and returned to my old job.
He first used almost all his savings to rent ten Lizard cars, and then refurbished them and put them into operation.
The harvest has been pretty good. Recently, more and more people are willing to take the Lizard Car to travel between several villages.
Especially those "big households" in Barren Bone Village.
They come to Hope Village every few days to trade supplies, and each time they can rent at least five lizard carts.
According to this progress, I am afraid that the money will be recovered after the disaster is over.
No matter how much profit Lizard Car can recover in the future, it can be regarded as pure profit!
"Mr. Sid, I didn't expect that we would meet again, but you don't seem to look as good as last time?"
The moth walked in, stroking the back of his bare head, almost occupying the entire tent door frame.
Since the protein supply has become abundant recently, his muscles have also recovered along with it.
At first glance, when I stand here, my figure is really intimidating.
If he were more than ten centimeters taller, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a "little hunting tiger".
"Mr. Wang Yang, we meet again. Your body is stronger than last time!"
Sid exchanged a few pleasantries with a dark face.
Nonsense, it’s so cold that water can freeze into ice cubes. If you look good, can you still be a normal person?
In fact, his physique is already considered to be good. Now the hospitals in Qinggang New City are already filled with people with fever, including some commanders and soldiers who usually exercise.
How could everyone be as perverted as the people in Tianyuan Shelter, who seemed to be fine in such a cold weather.
"You are going to Hope Village, right? I happen to have a lizard car here that can take you there."
"Well, twelve people, three people per car, exactly four cars!"
Pu Ling Mo Zi settled the accounts honestly and led a group of people out of the tent and walked outside.
When they approached the awning where the lizard was tied, several people who had participated in the frontline battles or participated in the burial of the battlefield were obviously startled.
Damn it.
Aren't these the damn lizards that are attacking the city?
Although it is not that huge in size, there is no obvious ferocity in its eyes.
But they were absolutely unmistakable. This lizard was definitely the same species as the creature the dwarf was riding that day!
"Don't be nervous, this is not a dwarf's weapon, but a lizard we have trained. It is obedient!"
"Come on, Coke, bow to our guests."
After patting the nearest lizard, the moth skillfully took out a carrot from his satchel and threw it over.
The latter raised his head sharply and picked it up, chewing it happily and making a crunching sound.
The rich juice made 'Coke' extremely satisfied. After eating, he immediately followed the training of the moth.
He bowed his body slightly and bent his head in an unusually gentlemanly manner.
“You really understand what people say!”
A special soldier said in surprise, and his physical alertness relaxed a little.
"Of course, they are our partners. You will understand when you get in the car later."
Pointing to the car at the back, the twelve people got on the car in groups of three.
There were four vehicles in total, and Pu Lengmozi was sitting in the vehicle pulled by Coke in front, directing them out of the camp and heading towards Hope Village.
"It's unbelievable. Is this where we were last time?"
In the spacious carriage, Sid lifted up the awning on the side of the carriage next to him to block the wind and looked out curiously.
He still remembered that he went to Hope Village more than four months ago. The ride was obviously a modern vehicle, but the bumps were so severe that he almost vomited.
Almost the entire journey was off-road on wasteland, and there was no shock absorption at all.
The driver was also extremely violent and insisted on flying over any big or small pits.
This time it rained heavily for several days, and he was already ready to vomit and return to the shelter to apply for a "work-related injury."
But I stuck my head out and took a look.
Good guy, how long has it taken?
After leaving the so-called outpost, a cement road appeared on the ground that went straight forward.
The two sides of the road are not separated by guardrails, but there is a slight slope for drainage.
After several days of heavy rain, the wasteland in the distance was already covered in mud, but the cement road was not affected at all.
The Lizard Car was running on this road at this time, and the experience was much better than before.
If you close your eyes and don't deliberately feel it, you will feel as comfortable as lying in a cradle, which makes people extremely relaxed.
"Five months, I should say less than five months, they only took four and a half months to complete all this?"
