Chapter 177 Periphery



Depart from Sloane Manor.

Of the original two platoons of genetic warriors, only one was taken away.

Another platoon will remain at Sloane Manor.

Not only the soldiers, but even the deputy company commander Guan Yan was left inside the manor.

On the way, Li Xin said to Guan Yan in the chip communication:

"There are a few things you need to pay attention to in Sloan Manor!"

"We need to arrange for people to be stationed at the gate to check on people entering the manor!"

"Don't worry about offending others. We're in Dan'an, at Sloane Manor before the official banquet begins!"

"You are the ones with the highest status for now!"

"Arrange for someone to guard the kitchen at Sloane Manor!"

"The food at the banquet must be of paramount importance! This requires extra attention!"

"Finally, you must not accept any supplies provided by Sloan Manor, whether it's food or anything else!"

"If you want to enjoy some delicious food and wine, I will personally prepare it for you after the banquet!"

Guan Yan nodded repeatedly on the other end, and finally said in a serious tone, "Yes! Company Commander!"

After arranging Guan Yan's work, Li Xin was not in a hurry to go back.

He led the convoy and began to circle around Sloan Manor. After all, the inspection work was not limited to the interior of the manor.

The external environment also needs to be checked.

The location of Sloan Manor is slightly on the edge of the city center, not in the very center.

The overall environment here is relatively prosperous.

There are no high-rise buildings around because the cost of high-rise buildings is too high due to the Guansuo environment.

Li Xin's spiritual energy was radiating, checking the surrounding situation while the convoy was moving.

There was nothing unusual along the way.

Until problems arose on the road ahead. It seemed that a municipal underground pipeline was being excavated here, and an area of ​​at least dozens of meters around was cordoned off by iron sheets.

This place is several roads away from Sloan Manor, and it takes quite a while to drive there, but the straight-line distance is not long, only about two hundred meters.

Li Xin signaled the convoy to stop and used his psychic power to inspect the area.

Here, several human foremen are directing dozens of Chiru slaves to carry out construction.

Behind the isolating iron sheets, there are some simple mobile houses. Using psychic power, Li Xin can sense that this is the temporary residence of the Chiru slaves.

Looking at the construction here, I looked at the location of Sloan Manor, which was neither far nor near.

Li Xin said to the platoon leader who was following him, "Go and ask what they are doing?"

The genetic warrior platoon leader quickly got out of the car, entered the construction site, and came back after a while.

He said, "Company Commander, there's a problem with the underground drainage system on this road, so the entire road has been dug out and needs to be rebuilt."

"Construction started last month, but was suspended for a while due to the war. Construction has recently resumed."

Li Xin nodded and ordered the convoy to continue its journey, but it had not yet gone far.

Li Xin, who closed his eyes and sensed his surroundings, suddenly said, "Stop the car!"

The convoy stopped immediately.

Li Xin pondered in the car and finally gave an order: "Send someone to communicate with Heng'an Defense and the municipal government. Starting tomorrow, work at this construction site will be stopped and all construction workers will be temporarily cleared out!"

"After the banquet at Sloan Manor is over, we can resume construction here!"

"Yes! Captain!"

The convoy continued its journey.

Is there anything wrong with this construction site? Li Xin couldn’t see it for the time being. Even his psychic power couldn’t find any problems.

But just because there are no problems doesn't mean there's no need to be on guard.

This construction site seems far away from Sloan Manor, but the straight-line distance is less than two hundred meters.

If this were replaced by an assault team, they could reach Sloan Manor in a short time.

It doesn’t matter whether there are problems or not. If you clear out the debt in advance, you can avoid most problems.

It is better to be prepared. Li Xin doesn't need to do the work here anyway. If there is a problem with the municipal pipeline in this area, it will not have much impact on Li Xin.

After checking the surroundings, no other problems were found.

Li Xin returned to his residence and reported to Lu Quan.

As for the plan for dealing with emergencies, Li Xin had already easily prepared it with the help of Zero halfway along the way.

During this period, we only relied on a little help from Zero Computing Power!

In the next two days, Li Xin went to Sloan Manor several times at different times to check.

The construction site that was passed by was also ordered to stop work the next day under Li Xin's order.

The excavated road was temporarily covered over and all construction workers were not allowed to live there.

The empty construction site immediately made Li Xin feel a lot more at ease.

Time just passed by little by little.

Underground.

In places that are difficult for humans to reach and places that humans cannot notice.

This is another world, another scene.

The environment in Dan'an area is not very good, and there is not much precipitation in this area.

When Dan'an City was being built, the designers took the local environment and the lack of rainfall into consideration and did not give enough thought to the drainage system.

However, the underground structure of the Dan'an area is quite special, with many natural holes and small tunnels underneath.

When the city was first built, the designers took this problem into consideration and utilized the special underground environment as part of the drainage system.

But more than a hundred years have passed since the founding of Dan'an City. During this time, humans have been constantly transforming the surrounding environment.

This has greatly improved the environment around Dan'an City, with more precipitation, making life more comfortable for humans on the surface.

However, problems that were not considered during the design and construction gradually emerged, and problems with the drainage system occurred every now and then.

Therefore, in the past two or three decades, the roads in Dan'an City have often been dug up to rebuild underground drainage pipes.

This job is usually assigned to slaves of the Chiru tribe led by human foremen.

The designer designed the new drainage system, the foreman supervised the work on the surface, and the Chiru slaves worked underground.

This time, the new drainage system was built on a large scale, taking into account future changes in the Dan'an area.

Therefore, a unique new environment has been formed underground in the Dan'an area.

In the dim underground sewer, on one side of the bank, a hunched figure was moving forward.

There are lights in the underground passage, but they are generally not turned on unless they are undergoing maintenance.

The hunched figure raised his head and looked ahead, where there was light!

Under the bright light, his hunched shadow fell on the ground, and as he continued to move forward, the shadow continued to lengthen...
