Chapter 199: Probing

After hearing what Song Chengsu said, Qian Yu nodded and said, "Elder Brothers, are you here to see Elder Brother Xiu Wu or Elder Sister Zhu Lin?"

Teng Bai bent down, looked into Qian Yu’s eyes, and said, "We are here to meet Captain Xiu and Miss Zhu."

Qian Yu nodded to him, held his hand, and said, "Then come with me."

Teng Bai stood up, held Qian Yu in his arms and asked, "Can we drive instead of walking?"

Qian Yu looked at the military vehicle and thought for a while, then looked at Teng Bai and said seriously: "Elder Brother, you’d better walk more, lest you get old and can’t walk anymore."

As soon as these words came out, Song Chengsu held his stomach and laughed until tears came out from the corner of his eyes, while Teng Bai was speechless again, thinking to himself: ’The way this boy talks, he really looks like Miss Zhu.’

After negotiating with Qian Yu for a while, he finally drove the car into Sector E. Teng Bai looked at the changing scenery that looked like a broken mirror along the way and asked, "Why does the scenery look like this?"

Qian Yu, who was sitting on his lap, looked up at Teng Bai and said, "Because Elder Sister Zhu Lin set up the illusion barrier. Without me and my brothers and sisters to lead the way, those who come in without permission will be trapped forever until we come to guide them."

Hearing what he said, Song Chengsu and Teng Bai exchanged looks. At this time, both of them had the same idea, which was to be careful around these people.

After driving for half an hour, Qian Yu said, "This is the entrance to Sector E."

After hearing his words, Teng Bai and Song Chengsu looked in the direction he pointed. After a few more minutes of driving, the two of them finally saw the entrance. Teng Bai’s eyes were filled with surprise while he looked at Qian Yu and asked, "Xiao Qian Yu, do you have any abilities?"

Qian Yu tilted his head and asked in confusion: "What is that?"

Looking at the child’s confused eyes, Teng Bai changed the question, "Can you see the entrance from a distance?"

Qian Yu nodded to him and said, "Yes. Elder Brother Ji Yang said that I have good eyesight, so he asked me to help guide the guests."

Hearing his answer, Song Chengsu shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "I’m afraid it’s not just good eyesight, but you possess sight ability."

Seeing that they had arrived, Qian Yu opened the car door and jumped out of the car. He pointed to the two guards guarding the entrance and said, "Elder Brothers, you can ask the two elder brothers there to take you in later."

After speaking, Qian Yu ran into Sector E without waiting for Teng Bai and Song Chengsu. The guards saw him and opened the metal gate for him to pass through.

After getting out of the car, Song Chengsu looked at the tall metal fence covered with cables and said, "It seems they have obtained enough generators to equip the fence with high-voltage electricity."

Teng Bai nodded and said, "Mhm."

When the two of them walked to the entrance, the guards smiled at them and said, "Captain Teng, Captain Song, welcome to our Wu Lin base. We have been informed about your visit. Please follow me."

The two of them thanked the guard and followed him into Sector E. The moment they saw those shiny green shell houses, they were stunned. Seeing their stunned expressions, the guard said proudly: "These are the shell houses that only exist in our base. Aren’t they very unique?"

Song Chengsu looked at those shell houses and asked, "Can everyone build these strange houses here at will?"

The guard shook his head and said, "You need permission to build a shell house here, and you also need to hunt the giant caterpillars yourself."

After hearing the guard’s answer, Teng Bai became interested and asked, "How to obtain permission?"

The guard pointed to a simple office in the distance and said, "Anyone who wants to build a shell house needs to accept the special mission from the mission center. Everyone can only undertake this mission once in their lives. If they fail, they cannot accept it again. After failing the mission, they can only rent a house from the base or other people."

After speaking, the guard pointed to the small shell houses near the fence and said, "Those houses belong to a group of ordinary people. Because they could not hunt the giant caterpillars themselves, they collected enough supplies and bought one from the base. As for their rights to accept the special mission, once the shell house was purchased from the base, they lost it."

After listening to the guard’s lengthy explanation, Song Chengsu nodded and said, "This is really a good idea to save building materials."

The guard agreed with him and said, "Yes. Brother Ji is really a genius in managing the base."

While Song Chengsu and the guard were chatting, Teng Bai looked at his surroundings seriously. He thought for a while and said, "It seems like this resort area is a really suitable place to live. Even the temperature is very comfortable here. I wonder what did Captain Xiu do to create such a comfortable temperature."

The guard smiled when he heard what Teng Bai said, but didn’t have any intention to answer his question. Seeing that he could not get any information about the device that controls the temperature from the guards, Teng Bai decided to observe the people living here instead.

The guard noticed his intention, quickened his pace, and said, "Let’s hurry up and don’t let Brother Xiu wait too long."

As he spoke, he quickened his steps and soon, they arrived at the entrance of the base. Seeing that he had brought the guests, the guard guarding the entrance to the base said, "I will take over from here."
