This game is so weird!

The two teams underwent disinfection and scanning in an orderly manner, and soon left the tarmac and entered the checkpoint.

After disinfecting the personnel, the disinfection team began to process the long-awaited Giant Raven helicopter, dividing into two groups to thoroughly disinfect the helicopter inside and out.

Ye Yu didn't stay out for long before heading towards the checkpoint, led by the NPC guard.

A jumble of thoughts raced through the minds of the players. From the strange discovery that morning to the inexplicable alert at the base, everything gave them a sense of unease.

Upon entering the checkpoint, unlike the long queue of homeless people next door, players have a separate lane for inspection.

A standing scanner placed in the center of the venue emitted blue light, enveloping the players. Then, several pineapple-sized scanning drones shuttled back and forth among the players, occasionally shooting out blue beams to perform detailed scans.

"If this happened on Earth, I would definitely file a complaint."

Little White stared speechlessly at the drone that was scanning its head so closely. "What if it gets so close that it makes me stupid from radiation?"

"Ha ha!"

"Beep—beep—beep—"

Just as the players were laughing, the drone, which had been slowly scanning, suddenly sounded an alarm.

Three drones gathered around Night Rain and White Cat, scanning their space backpacks continuously. The blue scanning beams had turned into a slightly dangerous orange.

Upon hearing the alarm, several simulator players frantically pulled out their manuals and began searching through them.

"Found it! The scanner will issue an alarm after identifying the danger."

One of the checkpoint players quickly flipped through the book, soon finding the corresponding entry and explaining, "One alarm means possession of a dangerous weapon, and the explorer has been eliminated; two alarms mean possession of the remains of a dangerous creature..."

"And the three sounds?"

"Three alarms indicate possession of dangerous biochemical materials, or infection..."

"!!?"

The other six players, who were initially curious about the large amount of night rain and the white cat, suddenly shrank back.

Er Miao pulled out a survival knife from her backpack, pointed it at Ye Yu, and shouted, "Tell me! Lao Ye, have you been infected by bad influences and turned into a Minion like Ye Yu?"

Muyu, ever the troublemaker, also pointed an explosive arrow at Yeyu and said, "Quickly tell me which AI girl has been flying with you lately, or you'll be flying ashes!"

"..."

Ye Yu watched silently as her two friends, who had an intense desire to perform, reached into her side bag and rummaged around under the tense gaze of the simulator player, quickly pulling out a sealed jar.

Is this it?

Three drones immediately rose from near the space side package, continuously scanning around the metal sealed container, the color of the scanning light gradually turning red.

Upon seeing the familiar jars, the white cat also took out the sealed jar of "Im Energy" that it had retrieved from the ruins from its bag. The three sealed jars were placed in a triangular shape on the table at the checkpoint, surrounded by the drones of the scanner.

"Is it Im Energy?"

A player from the checkpoint approached, holding a projection tablet displaying the scan results. "According to the base security regulations updated this morning, the danger level of Im Energy has been raised, and its use within the base is prohibited."

"Can we still bring it in? Inside are special samples of Im Energy extracted this morning, which we plan to study at the guild."

Upon hearing Er Miao's question, the checkpoint player took out three electronic seals, secured them to the opening of the sealed container, and then said, "You can bring it in, but you can't open it inside the base."

"Opening the door inside the base will trigger an alarm, and guards and cleaners will come to clean it up. At the same time, players who violate the rules will be punished according to the specific circumstances."

"The punishment reportedly includes disqualifying the player from the test and awarding the test qualification to the player who reported the violation or handled the situation properly."

At this point, the simulator players all looked at Ye Yu and Bai Mao, as if trying to remember their faces.

"Uh, no need, no need..." Ye Yu glanced at the white cat, put the three sealed jars back into her backpack, and stuffed them at the bottom. "We're all honest people, we definitely won't cause any pollution."

"Hehe, I hope so."

Apart from the three fresh Im Energy sealed containers, Wooden Fish's explosive arrows and Little Black's explosive flail had been sealed. After a second scan to confirm that nothing was missed, the group was allowed to leave by the checkpoint players.

"Phew—going back to base is going to be a hassle from now on."

Upon entering the camp, Er Miao removed his helmet, scratched his head in frustration, and thought, "The disinfection and inspection process took more than ten minutes, which was a bit troublesome. Can't they streamline the inspection process?"

"It's alright. Thinking back to the checks during the lockdown a few years ago, the queues could take more than an hour," Ye Yu thought it was fine. It made the game world feel more realistic and immersive. "As long as there aren't long queues."

"It should be faster later. I just asked, and the only prohibited item right now is Im Energy. It will be much faster once the players are familiar with it."

Muyu, on the other hand, is more optimistic. No matter how realistic a game is, it won't cause too much trouble for players.

Hearing this, Er Miao nodded. She had just thought the inspection was a bit cumbersome, but after calming down, she agreed that Im Energy should be managed carefully. After exploring the ruins, her vigilance towards Im Energy was at its peak, and she wished she could eliminate all of these things.

"In that case, let's hurry over to the guild."

"Um."

Night Rain and White Cat nodded. It was too dangerous to keep such a dangerous thing with them all the time; it was better to hand it over as soon as possible.

If we really need it, we can just buy it directly from the base refinery!

Having just witnessed the vast Im Energy underground lake, they were filled with confidence in the base's reserves.

With so much storage, and with so few players, it should last for several years no matter how much they use it, right?

If all else fails, we can always steal more. Do you think we'll run out of energy? If that happens, either the game developers are going to adjust the game version, or they can just wave their hand and fill up the depleted Im energy again.

Thinking about this, the group felt even more that these three sample jars were a hot potato. If it weren't for the possibility that they might contain hidden clues about the game, they would have sold them directly.

With this in mind, the group rushed into the guild without stopping and asked Miley to call out Li Ang.

A moment later, Li Ang's eyes twitched as he looked at the three sealed jars on the service counter in the guild hall.

Since connecting to this body, his sense of danger, which had always seemed subtle, was now frantically giving him hints, causing his eyes to twitch incessantly.

"Take this with you, and follow me."

Li Ang pointed to the three cans on the table, "We've just made some progress in our analysis of Im Energy."

"This is a good opportunity to introduce you to the true situation of Im Energy, so that you can avoid making careless contact and causing danger."
