Chapter 524: Chapter 347 I’ll Take Them All_1

The Special Investigation Team of the Joint Security Bureau not only investigates ecological events but also looks into certain societal impacts such as those potentially related to human survival.

After the tremendous commotion caused by the meteor and those blurry yet unedited bizarre videos, the special task force, in collaboration with relevant security departments, quickly headed to the scene of the incident.

Due to the limited range of helicopters, they used one from a branch in the nearest city to fly to the local airport. To make it easier to identify, they affixed a special task force logo on the aircraft.

Ordinary people might not recognize this logo, but Feng Yi, now a member of the Joint Security Bureau, identified it at a glance.

"A single meteor has actually attracted the special task force from the Joint Security Bureau!"

Feng Yi’s inner thought became more resolute, if he couldn’t figure out a more energy-efficient way, he would no longer bother blasting meteors in the future!

The Joint Security Bureau’s team wasn’t simple to fool.

Wen Zhiyu, on the other hand, didn’t think too much. Knowing it was people from the Joint Security Bureau, he only felt a moment of surprise, then realized, "No wonder I noticed some control over the online opinions earlier. Honestly speaking, the surveillance footage was quite terrifying; I wonder if the Bureau’s people will be able to determine the cause."

The appearance of the Joint Security Bureau only momentarily surprised Wen Zhiyu, after which he stopped paying attention. After all, the Bureau had its own investigation, and they needed to start their own action plan.

Wen Zhiyu turned to look for Pan Weining.

"Big Pan, has Uncle Du replied yet?"

"He has." Pan Weining looked at the messages on his mobile chat app.

"What did Uncle Du say?" Wen Zhiyu quickly approached, asking expectantly.

"He sent me a map with an area circled, saying that if any meteorites had fallen, they should be within that region. Since there’s no signal in the desert, he was sending messages sporadically when close to the highway."

"Then we’ll head out there in a bit, just drive according to the route Uncle Du sent," Wen Zhiyu said, looking at Feng Yi, "Feng Yi, want to join the meteorite hunt?"

"Let’s go!"

Feng Yi indeed wanted to go see for himself whether the blow he struck at the meteor was a clean burst or not? How many fragments had fallen? What was the size of the debris?

Wen Zhiyu then asked Pan Weining, "With so many people out searching, has anyone found a piece of meteorite so far?"

"Uncle Du said no. This morning someone claimed they found one but it was quickly verified that they were playing word games, what they found was a meteorite that had fallen in the desert in the past," said Pan Weining.

"The price difference between ordinary meteorites and the ones that fell last night isn’t small," Wen Zhiyu stated.

A meteor like the one that caused the social media stir last night, its fragments would be much more expensive than other meteorites of the same composition.

"Now these meteorite hunters are keeping quite a low profile. I suspect, first, they are afraid of being targeted by the Joint Security Bureau; second, even if someone found a meteorite, they wouldn’t be the first to come forward. In case it is found to have significant scientific research value or some other reason it’s not allowed for private trade, they would likely quickly turn to the black market underground," Pan Weining analyzed.

Knowing that it’s very likely no one has yet found a piece of the meteorite, Wen Zhiyu was not in a hurry.

"If experienced meteorite hunters haven’t found it, that means it’s indeed difficult to find. It doesn’t matter whether we go there sooner or later."

Wen Zhiyu continued scrolling through the news and related topics on social media.

Seeing an advertisement forwarded on the homepage, Wen Zhiyu cursed, "Businesses react too quickly these days, promoting meteorite health products already!"

He took a screenshot of the page and sent it to Feng Yi and Pan Weining to see.

Wen Zhiyu remarked, "At first glance, it looks like science, but then you realize it’s an ad!"

The marketing blurb began by discussing meteorite radiation, telling readers not to worry about radioactive harm from meteorites. Blah, blah, blah, a whole lot of it.

But no harm doesn’t prove it has health benefits!

The marketing blurb was stuffed with various technical terms, then suddenly shifted to talk about the health benefits of some device, followed by the claim that a part of this device was made from meteorite material—and the price was several times higher than similar products!

"These are the real scammers!"

After breakfast, equipped with the necessary tools and preparations, they finally set out in the car.

Jia was the driver.

Pan Weining was responsible for watching the route, while Wen Zhiyu kept an eye on the updates on social media:

"Wow, there’s already a rich guy openly posting on social media, willing to pay a high price for fragments of last night’s meteor!"

As he browsed through the comments, Wen Zhiyu clicked his tongue and said, "It’s like we’ve gone back twenty-some years, where a single meteorite could make an ordinary person wealthy."

Pan Weining replied, "If there are more buyers, surely there will be more ’star chasers’ coming."

Wen Zhiyu: "If I’m lucky enough to find a meteorite, I definitely wouldn’t want to sell it!"

Pan Weining: "You’re not short on money, but for most people, it really is an opportunity."

Every day meteorites enter this planet, and meteorites by themselves are not rare. What’s coveted is the meteor from last night suspected of being influenced by ’superpowers’!

Just as Uncle Wei said, as long as there are other factors at play, the price of that meteorite will definitely not be low!

Pan Weining and Wen Zhiyu chatted about the trends online.

Silent and apparently messaging someone, Feng Yi suddenly spoke up, "I’ll buy too."
