106: Items placed, we have arrived in Daxia!

Chapter 106: Item Placement, We Have Arrived in Da Xia! Let the Whole Nation Witness This Moment!

Amidst this tense atmosphere, three more days passed.

Friday.

After carefully browsing the Yumen Pass ruins, Lucy finally put away her camera, which had taken hundreds of photos, and exclaimed, "I never thought Da Xia's scenic spots would be like this."

"Thousands of years of history, preserved in this way through the long passage of time."

"This is much more interesting than I imagined."

Just like the Dunhuang murals before, with hundreds of grottoes and thousands of huge murals.

Lucy had originally thought it was just a few hundred years of history, similar to medieval Europe.

But Lu Ze told her that these murals spanned over 1,500 years of history, using several centuries of each dynasty as a carrier to record the rise and fall of a thousand years of history.

When this rich history unfolds before your eyes like brushstrokes, it's a shock that no amount of information or photos can convey.

And this is just a scenic spot in Northwest Province; how magnificent and grand must the entire Da Xia be?

"Next time the lab is on holiday, I still want to come back to Da Xia with you for a trip."

Lucy said seriously, "You can't secretly come back alone."

She still wanted to visit places like Huangshan, the Forbidden City, and the Terracotta Warriors. These attractions fit her idea of famous historical sites and scenic areas, unlike her previous travels in Europe.

They said Venice was a city of water, but most of the attractions were on land, and the water was even black and smelly?

The so-called Windmill Kingdom of Holland didn't even have windmills as big as the ones on the mountain in Livermore.

As for the Eiffel Tower, Lucy thought she had come to some suburb in Eagleland, where a power line tower was built, and all the goods sold below came from 'Da Xia,' which completely stunned her.

After that trip, Lucy felt as if she had been subjected to an 'India phone scam.'

"Okay." Lu Ze held her hand.

After all, given Lucy's usual help in the lab, what was accompanying her on a trip during vacation time?

Half an hour later.

The two took the tourist shuttle back to a hotel near Yumen Pass.

This time, Lu Ze booked two single rooms.

Although Lucy was a bit confused as to why he didn't book a double room, which would save some money.

However, Lu Ze explained it away with, "This hotel has a special offer for single rooms, so two single rooms are cheaper."

Tonight was the time he had planned to deliver the technological items to Da Xia.

Even though Lucy usually slept like a pig and wouldn't wake up without a hard pinch, Lu Ze still chose single rooms for maximum safety, just in case.

The moon was bright and stars were sparse, with faint moonlight sprinkling across the earth.

Lu Ze's eyes were fixed on the clock on the wall, watching the hour hand slowly move towards 10 o'clock.

'I can start acting now,' he thought to himself.

At this time, Lucy must have been sound asleep and wouldn't come to bother him.

And usually, if no one specifically woke her up, she would even sleep until eleven o'clock the next morning.

With that in mind, Lu Ze, following his earlier observations, avoided the surveillance cameras in the hotel corridor. After changing his appearance in a restroom, he calmly walked out of the hotel.

Looking at the vast night outside, there were hardly any people walking on the roads, and only occasionally did a hurried vehicle pass by every few minutes.

After all, as part of the vast Northwest Gobi Desert, scenic spots like Yumen Pass were almost deserted at night.

It took him over twenty minutes to walk out of the scenic area and into the vast wilderness.

'I now have 12 hours of action time, and I must return to the hotel before ten o'clock tomorrow morning.' A hint of solemnity flashed in Lu Ze's eyes.

Changing into another appearance, Lu Ze moved through the wilderness with the swiftness of a leopard.

The speed capsule would deplete all his stamina after use, so he planned to take it during the last stretch of his return journey.

4 AM.

In a desolate, 'godforsaken' spot dozens of kilometers outside the Yumen Pass ruins, Lu Ze quietly 'hid' a technological item in a natural hollow.

There were some shrubs and vegetation growing there, which would conceal it even from satellites.

It was also the best location he could choose among the several targets he had previously selected.

After a night of busy work and using several identity changes to ensure foolproof security.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Lu Ze lay on the single bed in the hotel, feeling the weakness in his body.

He muttered to himself, 'The side effects of this speed capsule are really not small.'

It wasn't so severe that he struggled to stand up, but it felt like having a bad cold, with a pervasive sense of weakness in his limbs.

However, none of that mattered.

The most important thing now, of course, was the next step of the plan.

'Now it's time to notify Da Xia that the handover can proceed.'

Opening his email backend and projecting it onto the light screen, Lu Ze quickly typed a line of text.

[Our organization members have arrived at the destination in Da Xia.]

At this moment.

In the Xia Academy of Sciences' top-secret external liaison room.

With a series of 'beep-beep' sounds, it took less than a minute.

Zhang Yuli and Zheng Lixing, the two old men, rushed in and quickly verified and unlocked the system.

Since the 'Mysterious Organization' informed them two days ago that their members had arrived in Da Xia, the two had been constantly thinking about when the final transaction would take place and where the location would be.

And within just one day, they had gathered the required one hundred tons of gold, as well as various denominations of usd and pounds.

As they watched with eager anticipation, a new email popped up in the backend mailbox on the screen.

It contained only a few dozen words, but they were incredibly exciting.

[Our organization members have arrived at the destination within Da Xia and have selected the designated transaction location. The coordinates will be sent to Da Xia shortly.]

[Please place all the gold, usd, and pounds, worth five billion usd, at this location.]

Looking at these words.

"They've finally arrived." Zheng Lixing's eyes lit up.

His heart was now incredibly curious: who exactly was this 'Mysterious Organization' capable of obtaining B-2 Bombers, F22s, and even the un-first-flown F35-C Carrier-Based Aircraft from within Eagleland?

And were the members of the organization truly three-headed and six-armed?

However.

Zhang Yuli stared at the email carefully, then shook his head and said, "I think they still won't make direct contact with us this time."

"They're just asking us to place the items there, and then they'll retrieve them."

If it were a face-to-face 'remuneration' handover, the Mysterious Organization wouldn't need to use the word 'place.'

Zheng Lixing pondered for a moment: "It seems this is a test for us."

The meaning was clear: if the 'Mysterious Organization' detected anyone monitoring or prying into them, then all future cooperation between the two sides would be canceled.

He quickly added, "We must be extra careful in this matter, and absolutely no potential oversights can occur."

"If others don't want to expose their identities, then we'll just pretend to be 'blind.'"

Whether intentional or unintentional, such an action would destroy the absolute trust between Da Xia and the 'Mysterious Organization.'

Such a thing must never be allowed to happen.

Hearing this.

"I understand." Zhang Yuli nodded, his face full of seriousness: "Notify all departments to execute the pre-prepared emergency plan."

Even though the 'Mysterious Organization' had not yet sent the specific coordinates, these items should be immediately loaded into vehicles starting now, ready to depart for the destination at any moment.

Then, he quickly replied with a few lines of text.

[We have received your information and have mobilized the required funds and gold.]

[Additionally, if you have time, you can now watch any CTV channel in Da Xia for a program starting in ten minutes.]

[This is a 'gift' we have specially prepared.]

On the other side.

At the Yumen Pass scenic area hotel.

Lucy helped Lu Ze to the hotel restaurant.

She asked with a curious expression, "How did you suddenly catch a cold?"

"You didn't get heatstroke, did you? I told you, you should eat a few more ice creams."

She didn't find anything strange about it.

During the high summer temperatures at Yumen Pass, the afternoon temperature could easily reach thirty to forty degrees Celsius, and it was also a desert Gobi region, so if one wasn't careful, heatstroke symptoms could easily occur.

"Probably. I felt unwell last night," Lu Ze said helplessly.

He then feigned a few coughs, his pale face reflecting his weak body.

After all, the weak body BUFF from taking the speed capsule was indeed not much different from heatstroke.

"You sit here, I'll go get you something to eat." Lucy's long legs strode towards the buffet area of the restaurant, intending to get some food.

Just then.

Lu Ze looked at the message displayed on the light screen and immediately became interested.

He mumbled to himself, 'A surprise prepared by Da Xia for me?'

'Besides the 'National Poor Student Subsidy Program,' is there something else?'

And this surprise would be presented in ten minutes? And on the CTV channel?

He glanced at the large TV hanging in the restaurant; the channel was indeed CTV1.

He quietly waited for ten minutes to pass.

A moment later.

Just as Lucy was still engrossed in her meal, Lu Ze suddenly noticed the scene on the TV screen change.

A fighter jet, seemingly never before publicly revealed, appeared, quietly poised on an airport runway.

Next to it was a rather shocking narration.

[Da Xia's fifth-generation fighter jet, J-20, makes its debut.]

'No way.'

'Da Xia is going to let the entire nation witness the J-20's full flight process?'

'This is the surprise they mentioned?' Lu Ze's heart trembled.

This surprise was too bold, wasn't it?
