Chapter 666: Chapter 386: Also started eating imperial grain_2

"Hello sir, please show your credentials."

The guard said politely.

Presenting valid identification documents is quite normal.

Currently, after the establishment of the Human Federation, such policies are being implemented temporarily in all areas to ensure control over most people’s travel information.

In this situation, there’s no need to talk about human rights and freedom.

Such topics don’t need further discussion.

After all, although it is said to be stable now, there are still some aspects that haven’t completely settled down.

Draconian laws in times of chaos have never been a joke.

Therefore, Bai Shi rolled down the car window and handed over his documents.

The guard carefully inspected them and didn’t find anything amiss.

Then, the guard took out a small scanner and lightly swiped the QR code on the document.

The scanner emitted a soft "beep" sound.

"The document is valid, you may pass."

"Please remember the recent travel regulations of the Human Federation."

The guard’s voice was calm and professional.

Bai Shi nodded in response.

This was only the first rough screening checkpoint.

It is said that although most people at the checkpoint itself are veterans, they do not know that a highly militarized small town is nearby.

They are only responsible for verifying the identities of people passing by and summarizing it into the system using their scanning machines.

There are many such checkpoints in all directions nearby.

Then the car continued forward.

On the continuously extending country road, the other vehicles coming and going gradually disappeared, and most of them left along other roads.

Only Bai Shi continued moving forward and slowly drove along a winding path.

Bai Shi noticed that the roadside trees began to become sparse, replaced by some simple houses.

He keenly sensed that someone seemed to be watching secretly from the windows of these houses.

Besides.

Bai Shi found that although the road on the ground seemed winding and narrow, it appeared to be just the width of a standard tank track.

Moreover, although the surrounding woodland looked uneven, Bai Shi had a vague feeling of unease, as if the protrusions in those woods were hiding people.

With some intelligence, Bai Shi could confirm.

Behind the windows of the houses, and the protrusions in the woods, there weren’t just seeming to be people hiding, but actually, a bunch of armed soldiers standing guard as hidden sentries.

And this small town, as one of the protection and residence places for many of the King’s relatives and friends, besides these overt and covert sentries, has a group of armored forces on standby at any time.

Had Bai Shi not verified his identity at the previous checkpoint, he would certainly have been pinned down by who knows how many men emerging from the bushes at this moment.

But even so.

If he were to make any abnormal moves now, he would be pinned down without question.

Next.

Bai Shi’s car hadn’t advanced far before another checkpoint appeared, a little further away, the small town could already be vaguely seen.

And the second checkpoint was more stringent.

Ensuring no contraband is carried.

"Please step out of the car, the area ahead is a military-controlled zone, we need to inspect your vehicle."

The armed guard said.

Simultaneously, another guard aimed a portable X-ray machine at every corner of the vehicle for a thorough inspection.

This process was not slow.

Bai Shi had just observed the guards’ firearms and ammunition when he heard the inspection completion announcement.

"Everything is normal, you may proceed."

After the guard confirmed, he signaled the driver to drive on.

Bai Shi didn’t linger longer, following the guard’s instructions to continue forward.

Soon.

Under the watchful eye of a bunch of hidden sentries.

A third checkpoint appeared.

The third checkpoint was located on the outskirts of the town, appearing more ordinary, almost like a market extending from a small town.

However, Bai Shi noticed that the residents here seemed inadvertently focused on them. He knew these "residents" were actually well-trained security personnel.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Shi, please present your biometric information."

An apparently ordinary old woman said with a smile.

Bai Shi stepped forward and placed his finger on a small fingerprint reader.

Meanwhile, the old woman took out a portable iris scanner, aiming it at Bai Shi’s eyes.

After the scan was complete, she nodded.

"Biometric match, you may proceed."

The old woman said with a smile.

After that, it wasn’t long before reaching the official entrance of the town.

A middle-aged man stood at the doorway smiling.

"Good evening, Mr. Bai Shi, please present your identity verification code."

The man politely said after Bai Shi rolled down the car window.

Although the previous identification basically confirmed it was Bai Shi.

The appearance and biometric information of the person in front looked correct as well.

And they had also correlated with the Personal Guard regarding Deputy Leader Bai Shi’s whereabouts, indeed heading here.

But this is still not professional, thorough identity verification and check.

He had to strictly follow procedures.

In this regard, Bai Shi said nothing more, immediately taking out a small electronic device from his pocket, showing a string of continuously changing numbers.

The man received the device, connecting it to a terminal at the door.

The terminal screen displayed a series of complex validation information, eventually showing the words "Verification Successful."

"Welcome here, Mr. Bai Shi. I am the person in charge, Li Ming."

The man extended his hand, smiling at Bai Shi, who had completed the final verification process.

Outside of official matters, he didn’t want to offend this Vice Leader of the Personal Guard.

But all procedures before entering the third town are so complex to ensure enough rigor and leave sufficiently long a combat buffer zone.

Bai Shi shook hands, and immediately felt the calluses in the other’s hand, long accustomed to handling guns.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Ming."

After responding politely, Bai Shi got out of the car with Li Ming to begin walking.

The car and driver were then handed over to Li Ming’s men for further thorough inspection and safekeeping.

Driving an outside car within the town is not permitted.

After entering through the entrance.

Li Ming invited Bai Shi into a nearby house, passing through a simply furnished lounge, and arriving at a concealed room.

Li Ming fiddled with a seemingly blank wall for a while, then the wall slowly opened like a door, revealing a stairway leading underground.

"Please follow me," Li Ming said, "The real base is underground."

Bai Shi thus followed Li Ming, step by step, down the stairway.

As they went deeper, the surrounding light gradually dimmed, and the air became cool.

Finally, they arrived at a spacious hall.

The place was brightly lit, full of high-tech equipment and bustling tech personnel.

"This is our core area," Li Ming introduced, "The stable operation of the entire town, as well as covert military maneuvers, are centrally directed from here."

Bai Shi looked around and nodded.

But he wasn’t too concerned.

He wasn’t here for official matters; he purely came to see his girlfriend Sun Huwen, who was incorporated into the "Wang Yu Protection Plan" for being a friend of the King.

Moreover, he didn’t care about the information here because he knew it wasn’t necessary.

In fact, everything Li Ming said to him, including his own name, Bai Shi directly considered as nonsense.

"The Wang Yu Protection Plan" is top secret. Even as Vice Leader of the Personal Guard, Bai Shi wouldn’t know the details without a Wang Ling.

Even if known, he wouldn’t know the full details, potentially being misled by possibly true or possibly false information.

Like knowing there are seven secret bases, but in reality who knows, even seventy wouldn’t surprise him.

Whatever Li Ming said in front, Bai Shi didn’t believe it anyway.

"Please, follow me," Li Ming continued, "Ms. Sun Huwen, whom you wish to meet, has already arrived here."

While Bai Shi was in a daze complaining.

Li Ming continued to lead the way.

Bai Shi nodded in acknowledgment, following Li Ming through one security door after another.

Finally arriving at a spacious meeting room.

A long table was placed in the center of the meeting room.

At the very center, Sun Huwen, whom Bai Shi hadn’t seen for a long time, was sitting leisurely, lost in thought.

Seeing this, Bai Shi couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Speaking of which.

Since May 3rd, after saying goodbye to Jiang Anping and Sun Huwen with Chen Yun.

More than a month had passed.

Although the time wasn’t too long, the feeling of things being different was intense.

Everything...

Had changed so fast.
