Chapter 252 Quite Unreliable

Ta Xue smelled the scent of the black cube and ran to Meng Shiwan's side, gazing longingly at the black cube in her arms.

Meng Shiwan handed the black cube to Taxue, saying, "Take it to your place. I'm going to the castle; I have some things to take care of."

Ta Xue took the black cube with its two paws and responded.

Meow~

Okay, okay, you can go ahead and get busy.

"Meow~"

Da Bao, Er Bao, come help me move these things.

Hearing Ta Xue's call, the two pandas came running over excitedly.

Da Bao picked up the black cube and, with his round body wiggling, ran home.

Snowwalker's paws aren't good at carrying things, but its two pets are excellent at moving things, making it very convenient to order them around.

Meng Shiwan watched the three adorable black and white creatures walk towards the grape hut and couldn't help but smile.

She then flashed and appeared in the square in front of the castle.

There was no one in the square at the moment; everyone was busy working.

Even Ye Sangyu went to the field to harvest vegetables, but she didn't harvest as much as she showed off in her mouth.

Lei Zhe was squatting by the roadside, staring at the laborers in the field, wondering whether he should find young and strong men to form a guard team.

Train the soldiers, teach them how to use weapons. At the very least, they'll know in advance if someone wants to enter the base.

To avoid a repeat of today's situation, where everyone has already reached their hideout only to find that someone has broken in.

As he was making plans, he turned his head and saw Meng Shiwan walking towards him.

Lei Zhe, who was in charge of managing the weapons but had done something extremely negligent, felt a little guilty when he saw Meng Shiwan.

He scratched his head and said to Meng Shiwan, "Sister, I've made up my mind. Let's practice some military drills."

Meng Shiwan handed him the central control unit of the defense system, saying, "No need, this is enough."

Lei Zhe took the transparent board with a puzzled look on his face. It felt cool to the touch and had a texture similar to a card. It displayed some pages and text.

"Sis, what is this? It looks really advanced. I don't think our technology can make a transparent tablet yet, right?"

It looks a bit like futuristic technology.

Meng Shiwan replied to him, "There are instructions for use on it, you can take a look yourself."

Lei Zhe scrolled through the pages and found the user manual. After reading the simple introduction, he was completely stunned.

"My God, what an awesome defense system... When was it installed? How come I didn't know?"

He looked around but didn't find any changes in the base. How come there was suddenly a defense system?

Lei Zhe was increasingly shocked as he looked at the system, finding its defensive capabilities to be unbelievably powerful. He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.

He followed the instructions, and the system directly scanned the faces of everyone in the base, displaying them one by one on the central tablet, awaiting his authorization.

Lei Zhe didn't know how this defense system managed to capture everyone's faces so quietly and without any warning.

In short, awesome.

He operates in batches, granting permanent access to his own people at the Dawn Base.

Ye Sangyu and Yang Wen's group were only authorized to enter the base once.

Lei Zhe found Lin Jingsong, who was helping to harvest vegetables in the field, and asked, "What type of superpower do you have?"

Lei Zhe only now realized that, apart from Meng Shiwan, there seemed to be no other metal-type ability users in the base.

Lin Jingsong looked up from the cabbage field. "I'm a wood element person."

He is not a metal-type ability user.

Lei Zhe then asked, "Do you have any metal-type ability users?"

He wants to find a metal-type ability user to go out and conduct an experiment.

It's still raining acid outside; only those with metal-type abilities can withstand it.

Lin Jingsong didn't know why he asked that, but still answered, "None of us are from the Jin faction."

Lei Zhe thought for a moment. He couldn't very well drag Meng Shiwan along to do an experiment, so he had to ask again, "Can you go into the acid rain?"

Lin Jingsong nodded, "Sure, we have acid rain protection armor, what's up?"

Lei Zhe was delighted, "Come on, come with me to do an experiment."

Lin Jingsong was completely baffled by his question, "Go to acid rain to do experiments? Will I even come back alive?"

That sounds rather unreliable.

Lei Zhe: ...

"Okay, it's just a small experiment. Come with me."

"Okay." Lin Jingsong then came out of the vegetable garden, drove their car with Lei Zhe, and headed to the edge of the base.

That is, the end of the winding mountain road.

Lin Jingsong parked his car on the side of the road, got out, and was still amazed by the scene before him.

It's raining heavily outside with acid, everything is gray and hazy, and the ground is corroded and pitted.

Inside, the sun shines brightly, and a golden rice field stretches out, peaceful and beautiful.

There seems to be an invisible barrier separating them into two completely different worlds.

It forms a spectacular sight.

Lin Jingsong put on his armor and asked, "What's next?"

Lei Zhe checked the display on the tablet. Since Lin Jingsong was authorized to enter the base once, there were no problems at the moment.

However, if Lin Jingsong leaves the base and then comes back in, it would be considered a second time.

He did not have authorization to enter the base a second time; this constitutes an intrusion.

Lei Zhe was eager to see if this defense system, which he couldn't actually see, would detect the intruder and issue a warning or take action.

"Go out into the acid rain, then come back in."

Lin Jingsong didn't know what Lei Zhe was going to do, but he did as he was told.

He wore armor to protect against acid rain, walked into the acid rain, and then stepped back in.

Suddenly, tense and urgent alarms blared throughout the base.

"Alarm! Alarm! Intruder detected. Level 4 ability user. Please leave base area within three seconds, or bombs will be dropped."

Three, two…

The alarm was so alarming that everyone in the base heard it, and their hearts clenched at the sound.

It looked extremely critical, like a world war was about to break out at any moment.

Lin Jingsong was also startled by the scene and quickly retreated back into the acid rain.

The alarm stopped, and everything returned to calm.

Lin Jingsong asked Lei Zhe through the acid rain, "What's going on? How did I become an intruder?"

Lei Zhe perked up, "Amazing! It really has a defense system, and it works so well. We'll never have to worry about security issues at the base again."

He re-authorized Lin Jingsong to enter the base once again.

"Come in, everything's fine this time."

Lin Jingsong cautiously stepped into the base, and this time, as expected, there was no sound.

He was shocked. "What's going on? What happened? I feel like if I had been a step slower, I would have been blown to bits."

Lei Zhe laughed and said, "It's nothing. I was just testing our newly installed defense system. After testing it, it's really awesome."

Now it was Lin Jingsong's turn to be flustered. "Wait, what kind of defense system can detect someone coming in and even detect what level of superhuman I am?"

Lei Zhe laughed, "Everything our base chief makes is awesome. Although I don't know what kind of defense system it is, as long as it works, that's all that matters."

He thought for a moment and decided to put up a sign here as a warning: do not enter the base area without the permission of internal personnel.

If someone doesn't believe in superstitions and refuses to go out, it would be troublesome if they were actually blown up.

Killing people isn't so bad, but if the nearby crops are destroyed, that would be a real tragedy.
