Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 330 329. The safety factor of this group of people may be really high
The environment of a satellite city is usually linked to the level of the company that manages the city. Obviously, because Abian also has huge assets in the academy, this satellite city...

It was safe, I guess. It was mainly because after we entered the city, before we even found a used car market, someone came to ask if they wanted to sell their car.

It wasn't just the cars. When the group paused at an intersection to find their way, a strange person came over and asked Seifer if he had any rare "goods".

What exactly it was, was clear from the look in his eyes as he looked at Lin Shenxue, who was sitting in the driver's seat and wearing a school uniform.

So theoretically, this satellite city might be able to find information about the missing students?

After thinking about it, Sefer shook his head. The main reason why these people were so blatant was that he, who didn't look like a student at all, was in the car.

If the other party is willing, they can even find the mercenary information...so they may be mistaken for a veteran who can fool students.

Seifer did not show any good face to these people. Considering the coaxial machine gun of this vehicle and other firepower points arranged on the vehicle body, these people were also rather timid.

While keeping a certain distance from each other, the armored units drove to the city center in this underground satellite city where there was almost no light except for the city lights.

They stopped in an area with several buildings, and everyone hurriedly got out of the car to make way for Feldrich.

She pulled at the coat she had put on at some point, asked Seifer to pick her up in three or four hours, and then walked into the gate of the campus consisting of buildings without saying a word.

The guard at the door didn't even raise his gun. He was frightened back to his post by just one look from Frederick and hurriedly arranged for other people to come and welcome his immediate superior.

Watching her figure gradually disappear, Seifer shrugged and said, "Alright, the sponsor is busy for the time being. Let's do our own thing... What should we do next? Go shopping?"

Xiang covered his earphones and slowly squeezed out from the crowd. He said in a rather low voice, "We're not very familiar with this place either. We just know that most people don't like to trade with students."

"Because not all technological items are valuable, but the students who sneak out don't know this - often they have high expectations, but the items turn out to be nothing."

What would happen at this time? I'm sure someone would be furious and ready to teach those students a lesson... but it's clear that the company won't let this happen.

Even if they were talents trained by other companies, who knows what they could bring into their own ranks? People with both knowledge and technical skills were much more useful than those unknown independent mercenaries or itinerant merchants out there.

Therefore, the company has put a lot of effort into protecting these students who sneaked out.

After suffering many times, most people don't like to do business directly with students, except for those who come to the satellite city for the first time, who are disrespectful and have never been beaten.

But there is one exception.

"Hehe, now I have to rely on my intelligence network!" Xiao Tao took out a manuscript with a smile, ready to show off her skills.

However, someone was faster than her... Seifer nodded slightly. "It's the black market, right? These are the places where students go to buy things besides their daily shopping."

"The black market, the second-hand market, independent mercenaries operating under company supervision, but with many scammers running the shops, and so on."

"W-Why does the teacher know?!"

Shrugging, Seifer gestured for Lin Shenxue to follow the route. "Of course it's because I have my own intelligence channels. Isn't this a matter of course?"

"As an independent mercenary, I wouldn't be able to survive in a place like this without a trustworthy source of intelligence." The so-called source of intelligence was, of course, Leica.

As soon as Sefer said he wanted to go to the satellite city, she sent Sefer maps of all the satellite cities and information such as the trading areas that students could go to.

It even cross-validates based on the number of trades students make and the profits they boast about.

The most famous thing about this node city is the black market, and the second-hand trading market is of very low quality.

"Gu, no, I won't accept this. Someone actually acquires information faster than me. I want to be the strongest person who ranks first on the independent mercenary rankings in the future!"

Seifer glanced at her sideways and said nothing, but this action made Xiaotao particularly dissatisfied. She slapped her sister and said, "At least praise my dream!"

"But how can you become number one if you can't even operate a mobile suit?"

Hurt by the words again, Xiaotao remained silent.

Having left the academy city and no longer needing to hide, Ram, Xiang, and Momo quickly got out of the car, sat on the track armor plates of the armored unit, and admired the scenery of the satellite city.

If they were given a few more guns, this would become a very special infantry-tank coordination...

While chatting and laughing, the group had already parked the armored unit in a designated parking area. After everyone got out of the car, Seifer saw four people from the technical department checking the weapons.

"...Will this weapon, which can only be used in the Academy City, still be useful in the outside world?"

Covering his earphones, Xiang single-handedly confirmed that the folding stock submachine gun he was using was functioning normally. "Well, in fact, all satellite cities are within the coverage of the system, but this privilege is only available to students."

"Sometimes, we get into conflicts outside of school. In such cases, the easiest way to protect our property from being robbed is to use this thing to greet people, hmm."

After checking their weapons and inserting the bulletproof plates into the compartments of their school uniforms, the four of them looked at Sefer and found that he had nothing with him and looked like an ordinary passerby.

Just as I was about to remind her, I saw Sefer talking to Weiwei in the car for a few words and then jumping out.

"Alright, we can just go in there, and the two of them will stay here to protect our tank. We always have to be on guard against others."

"It would be a shame not to have a good look around the black market!" Xiao Tao wanted to jump, but Wei Liwei poked her head out of the tank, waved at her, and said that she was tired of those second-hand things.

Compared to the drawings and maintenance items that Seifer provided her, these were outdated antiques. Even if they were given to her for free, she would find it troublesome to transport them back.

So, when the five of them entered the black market... Momo suddenly asked, why were there only two people outside, not three? Where was the pink-haired girl who always looked at Sefer quietly?
"About her...she, um...don't worry, she will appear when you are hurt, otherwise don't think about it."

For the sake of the young people's young minds, Seifer thought it would be better not to explain it in too much detail. He said a few vague words and led the group into the bustling and surprisingly clean streets.

Everyone was confused, but since Seifer didn't want to answer, there was no point in asking. So, they just wandered around this street, which was filled with shops and even had the occasional student, for about two minutes...

They started to let themselves go and went into every store that looked like it was selling something!
They don’t consider whether they have money on hand or whether they need to buy it.
