Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 294 293. I ran across half the desert, what did you ask me to do?!
The passage continued for a while, then suddenly opened up... or not so much, because there was a huge parking area in front of it.

Countless lights are arranged in this artificially excavated underground area. There are other entrances next to Exit C. Various mercenaries' mobile bases are constantly coming in and out, making it extremely busy.

This is just an area for diversion, and the more spectacular circular line seems to go further in - guiding vehicles to clear the way in front, and Sefer only needs to follow.

After passing through the parking area and entering the "ring road" from the branch line, Seifer suddenly understood why it was called a ring road.

This road is wide enough for two large mobile bases to travel side by side in the same direction. On one side is a cliff, and on the other side is a huge, enormous, thick transparent material barrier.

This barrier extends from top to bottom...the entire area is like being wrapped in a transparent 'egg'.

The joint school area is just above this 'egg', and on the other side is the giant vision gate. The two sides are reflected in each other from a distance, and are... very far away from here.

So far... well, when Cypher was traveling on this road, he felt like he was standing on the top of a mountain looking at the cities scattered below.

Except for the taller buildings, everything else is as small as ants or small insects.

Those broad roads are like the vertical and horizontal lines of a chessboard, and there are schools scattered throughout the city...

As they followed the procession, Seifer casually asked Shengnai how many people lived in the city, but she just shook her head.

She just studied here and then went out to work for Doctors Without Borders. She didn't even pay attention to the world outside the school - not entirely.

"There are... a lot of people? I remember when my friends and I went shopping outside of study time, it always seemed like there were a lot of people everywhere."

This is true if you go to a commercial area.

Tien, who was driving, sighed, "With such a large core city, how much money must be circulating here? If pirates came in and made a killing, I could probably retire right here."

"Why is your first reaction to use pirates as a comparison?"

"I'm short-sighted, okay?"

Very good, you win.

Sefer decided not to waste time on this guy and just contacted the previous communication personnel through the communication to confirm that he was on the right path and would not suddenly deviate into any dangerous area, so that he could feel at ease.

Continue studying the map.

The transparent cover is part of the first phase of the project, and was built to verify whether artificial creations can reduce the interference of sunlight on the ground to a certain extent.

It's still under experimentation. Once we enter the second and third phases of the project, we'll consider opening up an experimental field on the ground... These have nothing to do with mercenaries, and there's almost no relevant information on the communication board.

This node city didn't completely deny mercenaries entry. To ensure normal communication or interaction, the United School Node City, as a large city with multiple, multi-layered, and even multi-satellite nodes, naturally opened up multiple communication channels.

These channels are also filled with various immigrants, some with skills, some with the desire to surrender... As a result, the node cities that are rich in material resources have become extremely rich.

Occasionally, some technologies that the company is too lazy to care about will leak out of the giant anomaly, and these technologies will flow out to the surrounding satellite cities.

Some people with aspirations are able to find the whereabouts of these technologies, either by spending money or using other means to buy them, and then sell them to places where such technologies are needed.

At the same time, it's possible to find genuine grassroots talent among the people in the satellite cities... While bored on the road, Seifer read this description and it struck him as quite familiar. Why does it feel like I'm just setting a trap?
After traveling along this "high-speed loop" for a while, the Navigator finally reached an exit. After continuing along a path as intricate and complex as capillaries for a while, a reply finally arrived from the other end of the line.

"Independent Mercenary Red Crossbow, please park at Pier 2."

The speed of the car slowly decreased, and more than enough cars than the reserved parking spaces slowly entered the parking spaces. With waves of majestic sounds echoing, it finally came to a slow and fiery stop.

The heat from the gushing sound of air from the brake assembly brought out a series of greetings from the workers busy at work on the berth.

"We've already entered the berth, what next?"

A message was immediately relayed, telling the car to wait. Bored, Seifer even studied the parking spaces and the entire parking lot behind.

Since they are now at an unknown depth underground, these people are even more crazy when digging and reinforcing the walls. The main body of the entire building is completely embedded in the stone wall, as if this is a fortress rather than a docking port.

It is obviously a structure that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if it is bombarded by a huge cannon, it is estimated that this kind of wall will be difficult to peel off... So what is it defending against? An attack from a transformation agency?
This was quite confusing, but no one could answer him. Seifer could only watch and wait for a while. Suddenly, a car came out from the Huanwu Group and drove directly towards the parking area.

Sefer also got up in time and went to the warehouse, leaving the door open.

Soon, he was standing on the deck of the warehouse, with Wei Erwei peeking behind him, and... and Lin Shenxue who was eating dried worms and chewing them as snacks.

The two of them were either hanging around the engine compartment or counting for Cypher the various weapons and scraps recovered from previous battles.

Or... try to maintain the over-armed warhead. So far, there haven't been any problems.

Sefer originally thought that the person who came would be the type that would be difficult to deal with... After all, just because he is familiar with the company's top boss, doesn't mean that the people below him will also read his face, right?
As a result, when the person who got off the car appeared, Sefer couldn't help laughing. Isn't this the [Silver Bud] who went to the transformation agency's node city for negotiations some time ago? How could he meet him here?

The brightly lit underground looked a bit foggy, and Yin Ya didn't exchange too many pleasantries. She came up and told him in a businesslike manner that a lot of troublesome guys had already infiltrated the node city of the United School.

Some were independent mercenaries with shady dealings, while others were of unknown origin. However, there were so many people in the city that it was difficult to identify them.

"These unstable personnel must have come from various companies, or even subordinate companies. Some are spies, some are thugs... Considering the mixed crowd, we must also arrange for people we can trust to enter."

Trustworthy...would you like to think about it again? In this car, there's another person who is absolutely untrustworthy. He's a key member of the Abian Company.

Seifer nodded slightly: "What do you want me to do?"

"Here are the documents. Once you're ready, please go through the downward passage and report to the city's immigration office. From now on, you'll be a specially appointed tactical instructor for the Phantom Mist Group."

"...Teaching? I can't teach, and I used to work in weapons design."

Yin Ya still held the suitcase in her hand, her arm steady, not even shaking. "If you want to live a normal life in the city, you must have an identity. This is the only identity I can provide you with."

"...and my crew?"

"The identity has also been prepared, please check it."
