Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 43 How can we neglect such a ready-made highly educated person?
Although he sniffed carefully at the places where the smell was most likely to be produced, in the end, Sefer only got two answers.

First, if you can't smell it, it's possible that your nose has become accustomed to its own smell and has blocked it out.

Secondly, the smooth underarms are very sensitive, and even just breathing will make your whole body tremble... It's a weakness.

While thinking, Seifer didn't realize that he was teetering on the edge of a dangerous cliff. If he fell off, he would be the guy who attacked young girls... and had evil intentions towards him.

A visitor bell rang outside the airtight door, and she immediately jumped up and, without a second thought, got into the tank. Then, the programmed tank sank, and Spare Body One dropped out of the hanging compartment and walked out.

After returning to his steel body, Seifer clenched his fist, feeling the surging power that could punch through the steel plate with one punch, and felt that this body was actually not bad.

How do you say that?

It doesn't matter, I have two of the same...

The door was open, and Lin Shenxue came in holding a tablet with a puzzled look on her face. She tapped the tablet, which asked why the door was locked. In response, Seifer just laughed it off and walked away.

"Hey, is Tien gone already?"

'She fell asleep in the kitchen.'

Anyway... forget it.

"I decided to notify Dr. Mei to come over so that I don't forget to bring anything when I set out in a hurry. Oh, don't make a mistake, this is Dr. Mei."

After sending Dr. Mei's information to Lin Shenxue and letting her know this VIP, Sefer also casually looked up this doctor in the mercenary discussion board.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked.

A true genius, the structural concept of the close-fitting protective suits and outer protective suits currently used by mercenaries was designed and popularized by her, increasing the survival rate of the general public by many times...

We are currently working on developing special material converters, with the ultimate goal of creating the ultimate climate modification device for the Desert Climate Modification Committee.

Such a famous guy is getting in his car... Sefer felt the pressure rising instantly.

Moments after the communication was sent, there was a reply from the other end saying that Dr. Mei was ready to depart, and once the convoy arrived, the personnel would be allowed in to begin the commission.

……personnel?
I quickly asked why it was staff members, and the answer was that Dr. Mei would definitely not be doing research alone, she would bring the research team with her.

That's understandable.

Anyway, after a short period of peaceful waiting, Sefer saw several white, perfectly normal vehicles with running tires approaching the parking lot.

It is comforting that there are still some normal things in this world.

As a mercenary who accepted the mission, Seifer certainly would not sit here and watch. He went to the gate of the warehouse where the equipment was received to welcome the VIP.

More than a dozen people came down from the bus, all dressed as researchers. They pushed various packaged equipment out of the bus, surrounded by a group of armed men who were watching them vigilantly.

Seifer went forward and said, "Welcome, Dr. Mei. Where do you plan to place these devices? Regarding your residence..."

"That doesn't matter. The experimental compartment should have been prepared when we assembled the vehicle body for you."

Dr. Mei still looked half asleep. She walked into the warehouse under the escort of a group of people and directed them to deliver the equipment that was difficult to carry into the now empty experimental section.

Then he suddenly asked, "Is there a private bathroom in the crew's rest room?"

"How could there be such a thing? Although I would like to, unfortunately, the space in the car is very difficult to consider, so there are only public toilets."

Cypher reviewed the equipment. "As for the bathroom, I'm not quite sure. But the bathroom compartment has a shower and a bathtub that requires permission to enter. It should be quite luxurious..."

"That's fine. Once they've moved everything, they can close the gate and then... leave me alone."

What about meals and food?

Seifer asked directly. A young man who was carrying the items and looked like an assistant came over. He looked a little overworked. "As for food and accommodation, as long as you can provide a room for rest, it will be fine." "As for meals, we can go to the restaurant with your crew at the designated time. If we miss the time, we can also make do on our own..."

It's not easy for the researchers either.

The communication process went very smoothly. After Dr. Mei and his team finished moving the things, Sefer confirmed the handover with the person in charge of the escort convoy, and the other party left quickly, highlighting that he did not work overtime for things other than work.

After walking through the long corridor that took time to get familiar with, Seifer entered the experimental section and found that the people here were already busy opening the boxes and sorting the folded and stacked equipment inside into categories.

There seems to be a plan to open a laboratory here.

"What are you...?"

Dr. Mei laid back on the sofa that had been brought in for her. "Set up the lab. I'll be staying here with you until we get to Central Node City anyway, so why not do some simple research to pass the time?"

The researchers nearby paused, feeling even more exhausted.

It is hard to imagine what 'simple research' is for this level of research talent.

After confirming that they could settle themselves well, Cypher let them do as they pleased, walked clockwise through the corridor and returned to the main control cabin to sit down, suddenly glancing at his hand.

"Lin Shenxue!"

She was lying on the table catching up on her sleep when she looked up in horror, the fear of being called by her full name washed over her.

"There's some fried chicken here, you can have it. Just throw away the half I ate. And... there should be some in the insulated box in the kitchen. Can you help me take it to the guests?"

"If we build some good relationships with them, they might be able to give us some help on the train. After all, scientists always have some weird and advanced knowledge."

Lin Shenxue didn't quite understand. She was a mechanic and used to go to the boiler room or the engine room every day, or at worst, to repair cars.

But since Cypher said so, she still took note and went to the kitchen to look for possible food.

If Tien had been more lenient and left a few pieces, then we should be able to get by.

After she left, Seifer immediately checked the operation of the vehicle's main gun and confirmed that in addition to being able to be fired by the crew members, it could also be directly controlled from the main control room.

We currently have sufficient ammunition in reserve, but we haven't tested the power of this weapon, so we can't say what kind of situation we'll encounter after firing... Well, there's even a switch in ammunition type.

The car body was sealed and the preparations for the trip were completed. Seifer waited for a while, and Tien's slightly drunken voice came in.

"Hey! The sun's setting, so it's time to get ready. To thank you for treating me to two meals and taking this commission, you should drive in the middle of the convoy again this time!"

The front and rear cars of a convoy are usually the most vulnerable, so it is usually safer to be in the middle of the convoy.

But the car of Safe now has VIP. Although the theory of scientists who are committed to repairing and transforming the desert will not make enemies, what if?

Proposing a wheel formation... No, this request is too outrageous.

When Cypher was about to ask how to defend himself, he suddenly discovered that the mobile bases in the parking lot, which were much smaller than his own cars but numerous, had all started to move.

There are about... six of them.

The largest one was almost the same length as the long axis of his own car, and it even moved with Tien's urging.

"What are you waiting for! Move! My car will be right behind you. Hurry up and get going! The guys are still waiting to go back to the Anomaly to make some extra money!"

Speaking of which, the reason why Dr. Mei went to the Edge Node City was to study the anomaly - also, for scientific researchers, this is a ready-made unsolved mystery.

Cypher is also very curious... So, he should find a way to get along well with this doctor and get some knowledge about the anomaly!
