547: Chapter 547 We Want to Eat

After Shen Wengang left, he did not go to the Dark Night Squad.

Time was limited, so he quickly led the Azure Bird Squad to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce headquarters in Binjiang.

Although Niu Xingwang had handed over the management rights of the Chamber of Commerce, the highest control rights of the base had not actually been transferred.

Shen Wengang and his group could secretly enter the underground base through safe houses scattered throughout the Binjiang area.

Aside from those already inside the base, it would be almost impossible for anyone else to complete this task.

This was also the wisdom of Old Qin in assigning this task to them.

Six hours later, a transport ship from the Huatong Chamber of Commerce successfully arrived at the Batuo City underground base.

Under Niu Xingwang's arrangements, the squad members successfully left the material transfer zone and entered the base's interior.

"Brother Niu, long time no see!" Shen Wengang came to the office and shook hands warmly with Niu Xingwang.

Their time together wasn't long, but they were brothers in the same trench, so they naturally felt a strong sense of closeness.

"Long time no see! Luoer has also grown into a beautiful young woman!" Niu Xingwang looked at Luoer, who was standing nearby.

"Brother Niu still has good taste!" Luoer said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you're so sweet, no wonder everyone likes you." Niu Xingwang laughed heartily.

"Brother Niu, why don't I see Brother Dongfang?" Luoer scanned the room but didn't see Oriental Chen.

"He left on business and might not be back for a while," Niu Xingwang replied.

"Is he in danger? I noticed his account has been offline for a long time, and there's been no news," Luoer seemed a little worried.

"Don't worry, he's fine. We just spoke not long ago," Niu Xingwang reassured her.

"Alright then." Luoer nodded.

"Tiangang, this morning you said your identity was exposed and the Council wants you to procure a batch of equipment. What exactly happened?" Niu Xingwang got straight to the point.

"To be honest, I'm also in the dark. There's a person named Old Qin in the office, and he seems to have a high status. I was transferred to Kyoto, primarily to protect him. He sent me here this time, hoping to equip the Azure Bird Squad with a full set of the latest equipment and teach them how to operate mechs," Shen Wengang replied.

Niu Xingwang also couldn't make sense of it.

Ultimately, they had too little information.

"Oh, right, the situation in Kyoto is very complicated right now. Dozens of warships from the five direct subordinate bases in Kyoto have surrounded the Council Building. I wonder if these two matters are related," Shen Wengang added.

"I'm aware of that situation. In my opinion, there's something strange about it. They've surrounded but not attacked, and the Council isn't responding. Both sides are in a stalemate, and it's been like that for several days. According to the Council's usual style, such behavior would definitely be dealt with severely, with no leniency. But now they're completely ignoring it, which is truly baffling."

"As for whether your being sent here is related to this matter, it's hard to say," Niu Xingwang replied.

"Old Qin also said some inexplicable things. He said that the situation is grim and complex right now, and only our people are relatively reliable. What do you think he meant by that?" Shen Wengang asked.

"It seems something big is indeed about to happen in the country," Niu Xingwang sighed.

"Is the domestic communication system still under our monitoring? Have there been any valuable discoveries there?" Shen Wengang asked.

"On the surface, everything is normal." Niu Xingwang shook his head.

Shen Wengang nodded and said no more.

"Oh, right, the people you brought are not base members, after all, so I will implement certain control measures."

"That's to be expected, I have no objections."

"Good, then. I've arranged an extra rest area for you. If you feel uncomfortable staying with them, you can also go there."

The living area Niu Xingwang prepared for them was relatively independent from the base's living area and implemented stricter control measures, including: restricting activity areas, restricting network access, and communication monitoring.

While such an approach might make people uncomfortable, it was generally acceptable.

After all, allowing outsiders to move freely in a large base with several million inhabitants would be an overly dangerous matter.

"No need for that, we'll just follow the rules and regulations," Shen Wengang replied.

"Alright then. The equipment matter can wait a bit, but mech training can begin anytime."

"Okay." Shen Wengang had no objections.

This was official business, and as for what kind of equipment this Special Operations Team would be equipped with, it still needed Oriental Chen to decide.

But Oriental Chen couldn't be contacted right now, so they could only wait.

...

In the Kunlun Mountains underground base.

"What do you think about building an underground tunnel between our transfer station in the Kunlun Mountains and Lop Nur?" Oriental Chen asked.

"What's the purpose?" the robot asked.

"You don't eat, but we do!" Oriental Chen laughed.

They were currently eating the food they brought, which would last for a month or so, but no longer.
