"Borrowing tanks in Potou City? Do you need to use them against a Spirit Beast outbreak over there?"
Hearing what Wang Qiqi said, Ansheng asked in surprise, "If that's true, then... I need to catch a flight tomorrow and swing a sledgehammer, letting the little ones experience the summer, the cicadas, and some heat stroke."
"It's related to Spirit Beasts, but not that much. The main purpose of borrowing the tanks is for deterrence."
Located in Potou, Wang Qiqi glanced at the soldiers ready to depart and the tanks being loaded onto trucks and said:
"In fact, the mission we received was originally supposed to end and return six days ago, but shortly after landing in the Ba Mountain Desert, another incident occurred, disrupting the original mission plan."
"What was originally confirmed to be an 8.0 magnitude earthquake was revised to 9.1 after data correction, affecting land within seven hundred kilometers of the epicenter, with a focal depth of 13 kilometers."
"Due to the massive earthquake, the permafrost in the northern part of the Outer Region shattered. An investigation revealed that within the rift lies a site with buildings from the Spiritual Particles Era..."
Wang Qiqi sighed and said, "But the specific situation is still unclear at the moment; the only certainty is that a large number of foreign faces have directly landed in Ushi and headed to the northern part of the Outer Region via special flights."
"Excavating the site is fine, but some people's hands are not honest and need a machine gun sweep to behave."
Potou and Nuancheng mainly focus on industries like rare earth, coal, military industry, steel, and oil, providing 50% of the GDP for the entire Northern Region.
It's not surprising to uncover sites, as traces of Spirit People once living across the world exist.
As for the site excavation, you can dig it or not; the Security Bureau couldn't be less concerned about it.
But some people have the mindset of a thief not leaving empty-handed, trying to sneak into military enterprises with their spiritualized bodies and filch something.
Although it's unclear what madness drives them, when it concerns the safety of borders and national assets,
After discussion, it seems that using small-caliber gunfire might not be sufficient, and conveniently Potou has plenty of tanks, so according to the cost-saving principle of proximity, we use some large-caliber ones.
"A new site is unearthed, and you guys aren't digging it?" Ansheng asked, visibly surprised upon hearing that.
"They'll pay a transit fee." Wang Qiqi's tone was relaxed: "To the north is Great Russia's airspace, to the south is our Xia Country's airspace."
"The perk of specials flights is that they are prone to accidents and won't attract anyone's attention."
Excavating a site must yield some artifacts, and naturally, things need to be transported out.
The geographical environment of the Outer Region is peculiar; there are only two routes to come out of it—north or south.
Entering is easy enough.
But coming out is a hassle; two superpowers are waiting on them, quite a fortune.
If they don't pay the transit in north and south, they could directly buy a house in the Outer Region and retire there.
"Oh, I get it!" Mr. Lai Foo nodded confidently: "We're helping with logistics, so we can reasonably charge a logistics fee."
"You could say that since we fire up the fire control radar to guide them, which burns electricity too."
Wang Qiqi smiled and said, "Just in time, Mr. Lai Foo, you want to travel to Potou. When you arrive, call me, and I'll take you to the forest to hunt groundhogs and go off-roading in the jungle—it's very thrilling and fun..."
"I'll arrange for the replacement of the temporary chief engineer, but let's leave it at that for now? I'm still busy with things here."
The main activity area of the Security Bureau was originally in the Ba Mountain Desert, but after the second earthquake in the Outer Region, they moved to Potou to defend and assist border soldiers in re-establishing counterintelligence and enemy defense lines.
After completing the temporary task in Potou, they will head quickly to the Da Xing'an Ridge Region to wrap up the foreign devils in dumplings.
Or perhaps... hamburgers?
The fact that Mr. Lai Foo got involved in this wasn't anticipated.
After all... Mr. Lai Foo prefers to stay cool; he only emerges when the weather is breezy at night.
Leading Mr. Lai Foo to the desert.
He might get spiky as soon as he gets off the plane.
However, due to the change in mission and the reason that Mr. Lai Foo's National Day travel destination is Potou, the Security Bureau has gained significant reinforcements.
Mr. Lai Foo arrives in Potou...
That's not about wrapping hamburgers; if any spies appear once he lands in Potou, Mr. Lai Foo will surely turn them into cream puffs.
One blow, and no matter what gene locus there is, everyone is equal in front of a Foo.
With Mr. Lai Foo stationed in Potou, the potential for spies and enemy agents to distract the Security Bureau is eradicated from the source, making the border lines as stable as Spiritual Particles Steel.
Wang Qiqi's words were nonchalant, but upon learning that Mr. Lai Foo was coming to Potou, she secretly felt a sense of schadenfreude in her heart.
Ha! Bet you didn't see that coming!
We have Spirit Beasts in Xia Country, some with an innate trait of eradicating evil.
You come over and see if he won't hammer you; he'll chase you skyward, underground, and seaward.
......
After hanging up with Wang Qiqi, Ansheng called Lin Bingyun to inform her of his departure time.
Leaving school around two, considering the National Day congestion in Chang'an City, they should reach Chang'an Airport by around three and board a plane to the Imperial Capital Airport.
"Alright, Mr. Foo..."
Hearing this, Lin Bingyun gently nodded, indicating that she had noted down Mr. Lai Foo's itinerary and would promptly implement travel arrangements to ensure the utmost comfort throughout the entire journey.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you then."
After hanging up, Ansheng unplugged the charger from the outlet, stepped out of his den joyfully with his four legs, humming.
Massive earthquake... truly terrifying.
But after the quake ends, the mobs that randomly respawned in groups are fantastic.
Ansheng had never seen a travel spot where you could make money instead of getting ripped off.
"Ah..."
"In a moment, I didn't know if it was the humanity of New York or the morality of London, eager to bring cash to my door," An said.
Back in the dormitory fox, just as it nestled into Ah Qing's arms with a "meep," Mo Yiqing opened the dormitory door in panic and shouted:
"No... It's bad!"
"The main road of Chang'an City, the traffic jam extends from the Xiqi road intersection to the damn airport entrance. Electric vehicles account for 40% at the four-lane intersections, cars 70%, and the remaining 89% are occupied by pedestrians!"
"Hurry up! We should ride electric bikes; maybe we can carve out a path to the airport. Any later, and our milk tea might be squished up to four or five stories high!"
Momo, just back from driving from the Phoenix City District, witnessed firsthand the clash of people moving in both directions.
Workers or students leaving Chang'an are rushing to the airport, subway stations, or buses.
While tourists or those returning home for the holidays are fervently squeezing into Chang'an City.
The scene is practically "Hell West."
"Quick, quick, we need to evacuate," Momo picked up the air conditioning remote to turn it off, urging everyone to leave quickly to avoid getting stuck on the main road.
