Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 326 325. Once the secret is exposed, just pour out your secret
Previously, Seifer had been looking for the "students' secrets", the most important of which was how they bypassed the company's spies and checkpoints and went to the satellite city.

This kind of information is passed on by word of mouth among students themselves. Companies don't pay much attention to it, and educational institutions... well, they don't do anything other than education.

However, the crew members he brought with him have not yet been integrated into the academy. Even Shengnai, who left the academy city, may need some time to integrate into the group.

After all, she changed her identity to a student, and as a graduate, she did not have a very close relationship with other students in this college town.

But things were different now. Seifer looked down at Xiao Tao, who was sweating profusely, with his spare body. "Please, now, immediately, tell me in detail how to get to Satellite City."

"Help..."

Xiao Tao looked around desperately, hoping someone could help her. However, she had used her amazing wisdom too much in the past, and now everyone just wanted to protect themselves.

"Even a teacher shouldn't interrogate students like that... And I was just saying that casually. We haven't actually been there—"

Cypher lowered his head, his eyes, glowing slightly red through the skin, extremely oppressive. "It smells like a lie."

"Hey..."

Forced into a corner, Xiao Tao once again confirmed her own helplessness and entered a state of self-destruction: "Damn it! You treacherous fellows, you actually let me face this horrible situation. I'm going to speak out!"

Xiang lowered his head to look at the blueprint and nodded: "Just say it, we have nothing to lose anyway."

Seeing that everyone else was agreeing, Xiao Tao could only cry: "Oh, I won't accept this! Why do I have to be the bad guy in the end?"

Because you let it slip.

Sefer brought a frame over and asked her to sit down. His expression, as if he couldn't help but torture her, really made Xiaotao uncomfortable.

"Ahem, let me think about where to start. Anyway, I'll first give you a brief introduction to the development of the Academy City..."

"Let's get to the point. How did we get through? How did we get out? How did we disguise our identities as students?"

"Gurgh..."

Xiao Tao looked deflated and hurt, but she pulled herself together a bit. "No, no, when we go out, we just need to pretend which college we're from. Whether we're students or not, we don't care who's leaving..."

"The Academy City is quite large, and there are exits in many places. The wall exit we used is at the southern corner of the complex."

Xiaotao took out a map with nothing marked on it, but she pointed her finger confidently at an area with an almost circular boundary.

"Here! Just get a temporary permit in the special section of the communication board, and you can go out for a short trip for a small fee~"

"Unlike the satellite towns we're allowed to enter, the other satellite towns around here can be visited for a limited time. That's how we get all the second-hand and used items we've traded for!"

He sold out his teammates without hesitation, and his speech had an air of 'we've been out there many times', which made Seve nod slightly.

The price of the wall-crossing service is quite low, and there is a round-trip vehicle pick-up. It is the first choice for many students who want to go to the black market or the legendary "dark side of the world" to seek excitement.

This service isn't available every day, though. It's usually open on school breaks or holidays, when traffic is higher. It's occasionally closed on weekdays, with limited service. Students can take items they think can be exchanged for cash out of the college town, and those who stake out outside can also find some advanced technology products to sell.

Aside from not daring to take action against students, the entire industry chain is operating in a proper manner...

As for why those people in the satellite city didn't dare to take action? Just kidding, who knows which company the stupid guy who made a deal with me will become the backbone of the future.

If you mess with a small company, you might still have a chance of survival, but if you mess with a big company? You'll probably just have to commit suicide.

So, as outrageous as it sounds, these students in the academy city who look like they could be sold dozens of times are actually the safest group of people.

After sorting out this logic, Seifer was still confused... If that was the case, then why did the people from the Phantom Mist Group emphasize to him that there were incidents of missing students?

They even couldn't find it themselves, and the researchers' work efficiency was greatly reduced, so they had to hire mercenaries to do the work...

After Xiaotao finished telling everything she knew, Sefer nodded slightly and let her go to the kettle to fill herself with water.

...If you think about it carefully, the main reason I took this job was because Ms. Jin Junmei directly pushed the task onto me.

So it wasn't about 'looking for mercenaries' to do the work, but specifically looking for Sefer to do the work.

To be honest, Cypher had no idea how many twists and turns there were in this... But whatever. As long as the mission progressed, that was good.

Seeing that they could no longer handle the situation, the people from the technical department began to talk to Sefer and provide him with additional details, such as that this service was only open to students in each college and the teachers were not aware of it.

For example, as long as you go before the opening time and come back within the scheduled time, you will not encounter any trouble. If someone does not come back after the time, they will have to find a way to enter through the main gate of the satellite city.

If you go through the main gate, you will definitely be reported to the college, and you may be asked to write a self-criticism or be punished by the student union.

In short, most people will abide by the rules. Besides, the satellite city is a mixed bag of people, and if you stay outside for a long time, you may encounter danger... and at that time, the guns distributed by the academy may not be able to protect yourself.

"So... is today the day that entrance and exit is open?"

Hearing his question, the reddish-brown girl, nicknamed 'Momo' by everyone but actually a rather serious name, looked at the terminal for a long moment and said, "No, at least not today."

"But as usual, tomorrow is a day off, and it will definitely be open around noon tomorrow. If the teacher doesn't mind, we can go together."

This raises a question... If I call on Seifer, will the ticket sellers think it's a leak? Or do the people who opened the tunnels really not care who passes through?
"Don't worry about it. This is actually an open secret that only some people know about. We'll be driving there anyway, so the teacher can just hide in the car!"

Can still drive... Wait a minute, the technical department that just had all its valuables looted by classmates actually still has a car to drive out?
Seeing that Cypher seemed unconvinced, Xiao Tao immediately puffed up: "Hehehe... This is what you don't know. According to my calculations, as long as we don't sleep tonight, this tank can repair its basic operational structure!"

"Then, we'll drive it out tomorrow and bring back some second-hand materials. We can even improve it further then!"

Xiao Tao, who always thought she had a talent for invention, proudly puffed out her flat chest and said, "Leave it to us, Teacher. I'll help you get rid of the gatekeeper tomorrow!"

Sounds... quite reliable?
