194: arrival

Hiss~

The side door of the hover transport opened.

The members of the Scavenger Squad immediately rushed out and fanned out. Even though they were at the headquarters of Frontier Technology, they still did what they had to do.

The captain of the Scavenger Squad stood in the middle, looked around, then turned to Officer Lin and gestured “down”.

Officer Lin then stepped down, followed by Ran Quan.

“Officer Lin! Please come this way! The relevant personnel are already waiting.” A well-dressed person, clearly an elite, walked over and said to Officer Lin.

“Mm.” Officer Lin nodded and followed that person towards the headquarters of Frontier Technology.

Ran Quan followed behind, while also observing the headquarters…

The place they were currently in was an airfield of Frontier Technology, and this airfield was merely the tip of the iceberg.

This entire area belonged to Frontier Technology, covering an area of over 100,000 square meters.

And this was just what was visible.

There was also underground, which was the so-called underground of the underground.

Officer Lin led Ran Quan into a large building.

“Excuse me, Officer Lin, we need to verify your identity.” That person said to Officer Lin.

“Mm.” Officer Lin nodded, then verified her identity card, followed by iris, DNF, fingerprints… then it was Ran Quan’s turn, and he was also verified one by one.

By rights, Ran Quan’s rank was not high enough to enter, but Officer Lin had already applied, and Ran Quan had obtained temporary authorization.

So he also passed the verification.

When that person saw the green light, he nodded, the door opened, and he led Officer Lin and Ran Quan into an elevator.

Then Ran Quan saw that the person who led them did not follow them into the elevator, but stood outside the elevator door, bowing slightly to them, and said, “Someone will greet you below!”

Ran Quan nodded knowingly; it seemed that the upper and lower levels were separate.

Clang! The elevator doors closed, and then it began to descend.

The elevator was quite spacious; it could easily fit more than a dozen people and looked very high-tech.

Whether it was because of the elevator or some other reason, Ran Quan felt that the elevator wasn’t moving, so he didn’t know how far or how fast it had gone underground.

He only saw the elevator doors suddenly open.

“We’re here.” Officer Lin walked out, and Ran Quan quickly followed behind her.

Outside, a team of people was already waiting.

There were two teams of soldiers, whose equipment looked no worse than the Scavenger Squad’s, standing guard on both sides, and in the middle was a middle-aged man in a white lab coat.

Ran Quan looked around and could see soldiers stationed at various points.

And Ran Quan believed that there must also be various hidden defense facilities and monitoring devices, so the defensive capability was definitely very strong.

“Officer Lin!” The middle-aged man said to Officer Lin with a smile.

Ran Quan saw that he was still calling her Officer Lin… It seemed that Officer Lin’s identity was not just that of a regional person in charge.

But thinking about it, that made sense; after all, she was of the “thousand gold” level.

At Frontier Technology, regardless of identity or status, she would certainly not be low.

Moreover, Officer Lin was clearly not the type to be a “flower vase”; she was very capable herself.

Ran Quan working under Officer Lin and following her meant that the more formidable Officer Lin was, the better it would be for him.

And from their interactions over these past few days, Officer Lin seemed to not have many “confidants” under her.

He was considered the most outstanding and talented person with potential under Officer Lin, and they got along very well. Ran Quan felt that Officer Lin might have plans to cultivate him as a confidant.

“Mm, take us over!” Officer Lin nodded to the middle-aged man and said.

“Follow me!” The middle-aged man also nodded and led the way.

Then the two teams of soldiers escorted them, front, back, left, and right.

Ran Quan looked at this situation and felt that this security force was truly terrifying… And even in their “home base,” they still maintained such a high level of protection…

From these details, it seemed that Frontier Technology had experienced something?

Of course, Ran Quan kept his eyes straight the whole way, not looking around, just following behind Officer Lin, even though his mind was racing.

Soon, the middle-aged man led Officer Lin and Ran Quan to a door.

After various operations and verifications by the middle-aged man, the door opened.

“This way.” The middle-aged man said, then led Officer Lin and Ran Quan inside. Of the two teams of soldiers behind, one stayed to guard the vicinity, and one followed inside.

After entering, Ran Quan only remembered various turns, and every passage seemed to have the same structure and appearance. There might have been subtle differences in details, but Ran Quan couldn’t discern them.

Ran Quan only knew that they had turned many times, passed through many doors, and finally stopped in front of a door.

Beep beep beep~ The middle-aged man operated again, and then with a “hiss,” the door rotated and opened to the sides, revealing a space large enough for three or four people to pass through together.

Ran Quan looked inside; it was a research lab, with many people in white lab coats busy at work.

“Lin Diao! You’re here! Quick! The one you mentioned!” A Researcher in a white lab coat, who seemed to be the head, saw someone enter, turned his head, found it was Officer Lin, quickly put down his work, and walked over quickly, eagerly saying to Officer Lin.

“Old Jiang! Don’t rush, the item is here, it won’t run away. Oh, by the way, this is the person who discovered this robot, and he is also my capable subordinate, Ran Quan.” Officer Lin said with a smile to the Researcher she called Old Jiang, and also introduced Ran Quan.

“Mm mm! Good~ Excellent!” Old Jiang nodded with a smile, then eagerly reached out to take the box from Officer Lin’s hand.

“Let me do it! It’s quite heavy.” How could Officer Lin let Old Jiang do it himself? This person was a top expert in robotics and energy at Frontier Technology.

Officer Lin, even as a “thousand gold,” dared not show the slightest neglect towards such a figure.

Officer Lin placed the box on a table that had already been prepared.

Officer Lin opened the box.

Old Jiang had already pushed Officer Lin aside, his eyes shining as he looked at the contents of the box. At the same time, many Researchers also gathered around.

“These things… I’ve never seen them before!” Old Jiang picked up a section of an arm, stroked it a few times, felt the material, and couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“Let’s take these things for inspection first.” Old Jiang said to the Researchers behind him.

Ran Quan watched as the experiment suddenly began.

Officer Lin walked over helplessly: “Let’s go outside. I’ll take you to the lounge to wait. Old Jiang is just like this. We’ll just wait for the results. When the results are out, someone will come to notify us.”

“Mm, okay!” Ran Quan nodded. Other than following and listening, he seemed to be able to do nothing else.
