Chapter 112: Wing Assault Unit, Xinhuo’s Black Technology!
Flame Sanctuary City?
These five words exploded in Cheng Ye's ears, making him dazed for a few seconds.
As the most recognized and strongest sanctuary city in the entire wasteland, Xinhuo's name is mentioned by thousands and tens of thousands of people every minute. It is the dream city of countless people and the birthplace of countless people's dreams.
It was built in the first year of the new era and is the super-sanctuary city with the most solid foundation and the longest history.
How does the saying go, when together they are a ball of fire, when apart they are a sky full of stars!
The founders of countless sanctuary cities came from the Xinhuo sanctuary city.
Bring the ideas and talents here.
With the supplies, technology, and techniques here, travel to various parts of the wasteland and re-sow the fire of human civilization!
It is no exaggeration to say that Cheng Ye has read all the books since he came to the wasteland. As long as it involves the new era, there will be a mention of Xinhuo, and at least half of the authors are praising Xinhuo.
Liu Bi also said that if Xinhuo asked for help one day, at least two-thirds of the shelter cities on the entire Blue Star would mobilize manpower and material resources to support him.
Because in a sense, the torch represents the foundation of human civilization.
"Is there any way to prove that you are the Fire Sanctuary City?"
Cheng Ye took a step forward and asked loudly.
The people on the opposite side obviously didn't expect him to be so direct and were at a loss for a moment.
"This is the prosecutor of our Happy City!" Dalong shouted solemnly beside him, "Do you understand what prosecutor means?"
"I understand, I understand!"
The person on the other side of the fog cave suddenly woke up as if from a dream. Without caring about his curiosity, he straightened his back and assumed a respectful attitude.
As long as the scale reaches the level of a sanctuary city, checkpoints will be set up.
The Xinhuo Sanctuary City is naturally no exception, but many people go in and out one or two hundred times and it is difficult to see the inspector.
Most of the time, they just go through the automatic instrument, confirm that there are no problems, and then leave.
But the prosecutor of Happiness City is so young?
"Do you have an ID badge? If it's convenient, just verify it for me."
Seeing that several people were stunned, Cheng Ye changed his words.
“Yes! Yes!”
The leading man quickly pulled out a metal badge from his pocket and held it up towards the fog cave.
The shape of the badge was somewhat similar to that of Happiness City, but the patterns on the front and back were completely different.
In front of us is the silhouette of a towering mountain with sharp lines and a peak covered with snow.
The moment he saw it clearly, Cheng Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Not strange, nor surprising.
But for every student of the University of Tokyo, this pattern is simply too familiar.
It turned out to be Mount Everest, which is known as the top of the world!
After Cheng Ye nodded slightly, the man turned the badge over again. On the back was a blazing flame with flames spreading out radially. The edge of the badge was engraved with the tiny words "Fire".
"Wait, let me take a picture."
Cheng Ye quickly took out the defense communication. Fortunately, he had turned on the field mode in the afternoon, so he would not lose the signal and be locked in the fog cave.
The people opposite him looked at the big brick in his hand with curiosity on their faces.
Especially when I saw a crack in the brick, revealing the camera, I couldn't help but marvel at it.
I turned on the identity authentication function, pointed the camera at the badge opposite the fog cave, and took a picture of both the front and back.
The lighting was a bit dim, so the photo wasn't very clear, but the authentication system seemed to take this into account.
After taking two more shots from different angles as prompted, a few seconds later, the Defense Communication screen lit up with lines of information:
[Identification passed, Xinsheng Xinhuo Sanctuary City]
[Identity: Ordinary Resident]
[Identity level: None]
"It really is the City of Fire Sanctuary!"
Staring at the three lines of words displayed on the defense communication, Cheng Ye trembled all over, with an indescribable feeling of trance.
Natural disaster, fog, mysterious fog cave.
Just when everyone was worried that a monster would suddenly rush out of the fog cave or that a maternal infected body would arrive.
No one would have thought that this fog cave would be the first to connect to the super refuge city 5,000 kilometers away, which is known as the beacon of wasteland civilization!
Do you want to go over and take a look?
Just across the wall, with just a light step, you can cross the space and reach the strongest refuge city that countless people have been thinking about.
Cheng Ye was ready to make a move.
Although he didn't think Xinhuo Sanctuary City was really much better than Happiness City after learning a lot about it, the human instinct of curiosity about the unknown still drove him to go and see it with his own eyes.
This wasteland.
This world.
See what humanity’s most powerful city of refuge looks like and what form it takes!
However, after struggling for a few seconds, reason was like a taut string, pulling him tightly and keeping him firmly in place.
Don't be impulsive.
Although this fog cave looks stable, who knows if it will suddenly disappear?
Once you are left in Xinhuo, it is basically impossible to return to Xingfu City in the short term.
And over there, his identity as the prosecutor of Xingfu City probably wouldn't play any role.
Although with the current strength, they may not become cannon fodder, but life will definitely not be as comfortable as in Happy City.
But just as Cheng Ye was hesitating, the crowd on the other side of the fog cave was not afraid at all.
Everyone stretched their heads to look inside, breathing in the lingering aroma of meat in the air, their eyes full of envy.
At the same time, although it was already late at night, more and more people came over.
As more people gather, people become bolder.
Someone couldn't help but move closer and asked tentatively, "Prosecutor, can we go over and take a look? We'll just stand at the door and not barge in."
Looking at his eager expression, he is obviously not afraid of being forced to stay in Happiness City.
Cheng Ye could even feel that this guy was not only not afraid, but also had an inexplicable expectation.
"This won't work for now."
Cheng Ye came back to his senses and quickly suppressed all distracting thoughts. "The fog cave may disappear at any time. If you come here and can't go back, it will be a big trouble."
After a pause, he added, "If it's convenient, please contact Xinhuo officials as soon as possible and explain the situation here."
"Someone has been sent over. In a few minutes at most, someone will definitely be here."
Someone answered immediately.
The empty fog did not cover the Xinhuo Sanctuary, but the fog cave connected it.
Being able to talk here with the inspector of the City of Sanctuary thousands of kilometers away is enough for them to brag about for half their lives.
"That's good."
Cheng Ye nodded slightly, wondering whether he should let Dalong go out and notify the officials of Xingfu City.
But the thought flashed through his mind and was suppressed by him.
The Public Works Department was trapped in such a large fog hole, and it was impossible for the buffer zone's monitoring system to be completely unresponsive.
Instead of letting Dalong risk his life to go through the thick fog to report the news, it is better to wait for the authorities to react and send people in to investigate.
What he has to do now is to guard this fog cave and prevent anyone from passing through it rashly.
"Sir, is that what you just used called a defense communication?"
Seeing Cheng Ye stopped talking.
Someone on the other side couldn't help but be curious and pointed at the big brick he was holding. "I heard on the radio that Xingfu City will give this thing to every resident. I wonder if it's true or not?"
"Of course it's true, we all have one!"
Without waiting for Cheng Ye to speak, Dalong straightened his chest and took out his defense pass and shook it.
How could I ask Cheng Ye directly about such a small matter? The people in Xinhuo Shelter City were so tactless.
"As long as you join our City of Sanctuary for more than sixty days, you can get it, and it's free."
"Oh my God, it's actually true." The man exclaimed, his eyes full of envy.
"Why, you don't have it?" Cheng Ye was stunned.
"Yes, there is, but you have to use contribution points to redeem it. Even the most basic resident version costs 20 points, and you have to pay a 2-point usage fee every month. It's too expensive."
The man gestured as he spoke, and it looked similar to a modern smart phone.
"Besides, we don't need to go out outside. We're only in the city, so we basically don't need this thing."
Is there a charge for the defense pass in Xinhuo Sanctuary City?
There seem to be multiple versions?
Cheng Ye was lost in thought, and suddenly remembered what Master Tian had said before, so he asked, "Which district of Xinhuo are you from?"
"We're from Area B4. Um, we need to accumulate 399 contribution points to move here."
Speaking of this, the man raised his head proudly.
But after he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and quickly lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.
He is the inspector of Xingfu City. It is too disrespectful for me to show off the entry threshold of a district here.
"Isn't Area B4 the same industrial, scavenging, and residential area it used to be?"
"The system you're talking about is a very old one. It was changed more than a decade ago. The areas are no longer divided in this way."
The leading man continued, not hiding anything, "In the past, productivity couldn't keep up, so the areas were divided so finely for easier management. Now each area is an independent little loop with everything: scavenging sites, residential areas, small factories, all gathered together. We no longer have that one-size-fits-all division."
"Has it been reformed?"
Cheng Ye was slightly surprised. This change was bigger than he had imagined. "Then how many people are there in your B4 area?"
"About half a million?" The man scratched his head, unsure. "Maybe more. There's always someone being promoted from Zone C lately."
"Five hundred thousand"
Cheng Ye Mo calculated and his heart was shocked again.
Xinhuo Sanctuary City has a population of nearly ten million. If we divide it into areas with 500,000 people each, wouldn't there be twenty areas?
Each area is as big as a super-sanctuary city, and its size is simply astonishing.
However, just when Cheng Ye wanted to continue asking about the details of this system, there was finally movement on the street opposite the fog cave.
Suddenly, several bright beams of light flashed at the end.
Immediately afterwards, more than ten motorcycles drove up in a line amid the roar of engines, with the rear ends flashing alternating red and blue lights, and the black and white paint jobs were particularly eye-catching under the lights.
The motorcyclist was wearing a fluorescent yellow reflective suit with his cuffs and trouser legs tightened, and a full-face helmet on his head, with only a pair of eyes visible through the mask.
No way. Cheng Ye subconsciously tensed his body.
Although he is now also a member of the "system", he can still see the familiar red and blue lights and the iconic reflective clothing.
Especially when the buzzing alarm sounded, the residents surrounding the fog cave suddenly scattered to both sides.
Being stared at by so many "uncles" at once, I felt a little nervous, should I say?
Swish.
The leading motorcycle stopped steadily five meters in front of the fog cave, and the rest of the vehicles followed closely behind and lined up in order.
Half of the riders quickly pulled out the isolation tape from the trunk of their motorcycles, used the motorcycles as a fixed point, and set up a warning area of more than ten meters outside the fog cave.
The other half was in a alert posture, forming an elliptical blockade with the fog hole as the center, and their movements were extremely smooth.
The leading rider stepped forward and lifted his helmet, revealing a sharp-edged face. "Xinhuo B4 Public Security Department Special Service Team, Patrol Captain Zhang Jian, in charge of the fog cave site security. May I ask who you are?"
"Happy City, Inspector, Cheng Ye!"
"Inspector Cheng, could you please show me your ID badge?"
"Can."
Cheng Ye nodded slightly and took out his ID badge from his pocket.
Zhang Jian immediately took out the "Defense Communication" from his pocket. The style was indeed very similar to a modern smart phone, and it was much smaller than the big bricks in Xingfu City.
The badge is also photographed from both sides and compared with the database.
After two seconds, the verification passed prompt lights up.
Zhang Jian immediately gave a standard salute: "Hello, Prosecutor Cheng!"
"We have already notified the Ministry of Defense, checkpoints, liaison departments, and other departments. We also ask for your assistance in maintaining vigilance and ensuring that no one is allowed to rashly pass through the fog tunnel."
"no problem."
Cheng Ye responded and turned to give Dalong a wink.
Dalong immediately understood and asked everyone to step back and guard the door of the lounge.
"Inspector Cheng, judging by the situation over there, are you completely engulfed by the mist?"
Zhang Jian's eyes swept across the white mist condensed outside the lounge, and his tone was professional and serious.
After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to be interrogating a suspect, and he quickly wanted to change his words.
However, he was interrupted by Cheng Ye, "Yes."
You know what, Zhang Jian's attitude and tone are really friendly, and it feels like going back to the modern era.
"Do you remember the time when the fog cave appeared? Sorry, we need to record it first so that we can avoid unnecessary questions when comparing data later."
"I understand."
Cheng Ye took out his defense communication and took a look. "From the time the fog hole appeared to now, it's been about 12 minutes."
12 minutes
Zhang Jian quickly tapped his phone to upload the information. "Could you describe what happened when you encountered the fog cave? Just a general description will do, no need to go into too much detail."
"I wasn't here when the fog cave appeared. I came in later."
Cheng Ye waved to the back and called Dalong, "Tell Captain Zhang what happened in the hall."
"clear."
Dalong thought for a moment and said quickly, "When we were clearing the tables and chairs, we noticed a layer of mist suddenly covering the wall. It was like a large bubble had formed on the wall. We didn't dare touch it. Then, it seemed like someone from your side touched it, and the bubble suddenly burst, forming this passage."
"Did one of our people touch it?"
Zhang Jian frowned slightly and whispered a few instructions into the headset.
On the opposite side of the fog cave, a team member immediately turned around and asked the residents who had just watched.
It took just over ten seconds to confirm this fact.
"I'm sorry, Inspector Cheng, they didn't expect the fog hole to appear directly in the urban area."
"fine."
Cheng Ye waved his hand, more concerned about another matter, "Xinhuo Sanctuary City isn't covered by the fog, right?"
"No!"
Zhang Jian shook his head. "The fog is currently covering your Shi Province area, but the endpoints are randomly generated. There was a fog tunnel connecting to Xinhuo in Saskatchewan before, but that tunnel was only one-fifth the size of this one and lasted less than half an hour before disappearing."
"Half an hour"
Cheng Ye repeated it silently, his heart filled with ripples.
If even a smaller fog hole can last this long, then this giant hole that spans the entire wall in front of us should be able to remain stable until the fog completely dissipates?
Just then, there was movement on the other side of the fog cave.
Several whistling sounds were heard, not from the street, but
The slightly dark night sky!
Cheng Ye subconsciously looked up, his eyes froze instantly, and his breathing skipped a beat.
I saw four people in black and blue uniforms, riding on something like a balance bike, swooping down from the night sky like the legendary immortal cultivators riding flying swords!
What the hell is this?
Anti-gravity technology?
Cheng Ye's eyes suddenly widened, and he even thought he was hallucinating.
Although it is reasonable that the technological level of Xinhuo Sanctuary City is higher than that of Happiness City, it is not this high, right?
Three or four seconds later.
It wasn't until those people flew closer that he could see the details clearly. It turned out that it was not anti-gravity, but a pair of black metal wings mounted on both sides of the balance car. The wing-like blades vibrated so fast that they almost became afterimages, but they could generate extremely strong thrust, carrying people to fly, glide, and even hover in mid-air.
"Is that a Wing Assault Unit?"
Dalong muttered to himself, his eyes widening as if they were bells. "The radio said there were aerialists in Xinhuo Sanctuary who could fly alone. I thought they were just bragging."
Wing Assault Unit?
Cheng Ye paused and was about to ask again, but he saw all the people on the ground saluted towards the sky.
The four adjusted their flying posture and slowly landed in the isolation zone. The buzzing of their wings gradually weakened, and finally folded into a streamlined shape that fit closely to their backs.
Damn, it’s a foldable design.
The leader...well, let's call him a pilot, took off his helmet, revealing a relatively young face.
"Captain Zhang, thank you for your hard work. Leave the rest of the contact to us."
"Yes, Prosecutor Li!"
Zhang Jian saluted again, and without saying a word, he led his men to the side and expanded the isolation area again.
The residents who were watching the excitement noticed the arrival of the inspector and realized the seriousness of the matter, so they quickly ran away.
Inspector?
Are these flying men the inspectors of Xinhuo Sanctuary City?
Cheng Ye couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and suddenly he felt like a primitive man opening a time tunnel and arriving in the future.
My goodness, he is also an inspector, but he still can’t even afford a big Jinbei car.
What version is this?
Flying Sword Immortal Cultivation Version?
For some reason, Cheng Ye subconsciously opened the panel and glanced at the coordination level in the upper right corner.
Well, all in single digits, only Zhang Jian’s is slightly higher, but it’s only 13%.
"If we can search Inspector Li, can we find him, uh, the winged assault unit beneath his feet?"
Cheng Ye was dreaming, but he saw the other party walking towards him. He stood at the edge of the passage without any concern and stretched out his hand towards him:
"Hello, Inspector Cheng. I'm Li Changfeng, a Level 4 inspector at Xinhuo B4 Inspection Station."
Li Changfeng's palm stopped in the center of the fog cave, and wisps of white mist were separated into gaps by an invisible force.
"Hello, Prosecutor Li. I'm Cheng Ye, the trainee prosecutor of Happiness City."
Seeing this, Cheng Ye also took a step forward, and the two of them shook hands lightly across the fog cave.
Level 4 for trainee.
Although he didn't know how the inspectors in Xinhuo Sanctuary were divided into different levels, he thought their levels should be much higher than those of a young apprentice like him.
However, when you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
If it was the chief stationmaster of Xinhuo Shelter City who came, Cheng Ye might still be a little afraid.
But he is just the inspector of one region. Based on 500,000 people, Xinhuo covers nearly 20 regions.
In terms of scarcity, the number of inspectors is definitely far greater than that of Happy City, so the scarcity and value will naturally drop significantly.
It is neither reasonable nor moral for him to show any fear or embarrassment.
As expected, Li Changfeng seemed not to have heard the word "apprentice". Instead, the smile on his face became even wider. "Prosecutor Cheng, I wonder if Mr. Cheng Wu is you?"
"It's my grandfather."
"I've heard so much!"
Li Changfeng immediately put away his smile and bowed slightly, his posture more solemn than before. "Mr. Cheng Wu is a legend among our prosecutors. Prosecutor Cheng comes from a family of scholars and has profound knowledge. I believe that in a few years, he will become a leading figure in Xingfu City."
"Prosecutor Li, thank you for your compliment!"
Cheng Ye smiled, but was secretly shocked in his heart.
Is the Cheng family so prestigious?
Cheng Wu’s name has even been heard of in Xinhuo Sanctuary City?
However, on second thought, Li Matthew had said that the checkpoint model was first introduced in Xingfu City.
In this way, as the founder of the model, Cheng Wu’s reputation is probably not just about passing on the torch.
The thought flashed through his mind, and the panel opened again.
Cheng Ye glanced at the coordination in the upper right corner, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
With just a few words, Li Changfeng's cooperation level had reached 15%.
If you can get 30%
After taking another look at the flying wing assault unit on the ground, Cheng Ye took a deep breath and suppressed all distracting thoughts.
"Prosecutor Li, I wonder how long this fog hole will last?"
"It shouldn't be less than two hours. Wait a moment, I'll test the strength of the fog hole."
Li Changfeng bent down and pressed his ear.
What surprised Cheng Ye was that the seemingly ordinary headband on his forehead slowly rotated, and a pair of monocular glasses were lightly placed on his right eye.
?
What kind of black technology is this?
Cheng Ye was a little stunned. From his perspective, it really looked like the combat power detection glasses in the anime Dragon Ball.
"Energy intensity 331, expected duration 5 hours and 17 minutes, minimum no less than 4 hours and 40 minutes."
Li Changfeng stared at the glasses and read out the data, then raised his hand to push the glasses back on his head. "The value is very stable. It's much stronger than the fog cave we connected to last time. That one only had a strength of 27."
"Five hours?"
Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, "Didn't they say that the air fog can only last for two hours at most?"
"Empty fog and fog holes are two different things."
Li Changfeng explained, "I applied for permission on the way here and checked the records. The fog didn't arrive in Shi Province until noon. I guess Inspector Cheng doesn't know the specific information yet."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and shouted to the man behind him, "Xiao Wu, get me a new information receiver. I need to synchronize the air fog information with Inspector Cheng."
"yes!"
It turns out that the other people who followed Li Changfeng were not inspectors, but staff members?
While Cheng Ye was stunned, he saw the man take something out of his backpack.
It was none other than the headband glasses used just now to detect air fog!
"Prosecutor Cheng, just hang it on your head. It will automatically adapt to your viewing angle and pupil distance."
Xiao Xu handed the equipment over through the fog hole, and Cheng Ye subconsciously reached out to take it.
He held it gently until he felt a cool metallic sensation in his hand, and then he realized:
"Can I use this?"
To be honest, this was the first time he came into contact with high-tech objects after traveling to the wasteland.
It’s not a big gold cup, nor is it a big mobile phone anymore.
It was a truly high-tech product that he had never seen on Earth. It looked much more advanced than any AR glasses!
"Of course it can be used. Although Xingfu City and Xinhuo are thousands of miles apart, we have always been the most reliable allies. In a sense, we can be considered comrades-in-arms and colleagues!"
Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Besides, this is just a tool for receiving information. Anyone can wear it as long as they are within the signal coverage area. However, receiving information requires approval."
"Well, Inspector Cheng, you have to come over here. If you stand on your side, the fog hole will block the signal transmission."
"Can I still come over?"
"Of course, the fog cave is very stable. Are you afraid that it will disappear when you go in and out?"
Li Changfeng suddenly realized what was happening and laughed in surprise, "Don't worry, if the fog cave disappears, we at Xinhuo will deploy the highest level of escort to ensure your safe return to Happiness City."
