Chapter 969: Wolf in front and tiger in back (please vote for the big chapter)
"Approximately how many troops and equipment are there?"
He Ao looked at Scott's projection in front of him and asked slowly.
"It looks like there is only one mercenary group, a fully mechanized force, and there is currently no trace of the aviation force."
Scott replied quickly.
"I see."
He Ao nodded lightly, "Pay close attention to the actions of this mercenary group, and try to protect the caravans entering and exiting the north gate. If there is an emergency, you can temporarily close the north gate. Thank you for your hard work."
"You are joking, this is my duty."
Scott gave a military salute, "Yes!"
He Ao reached out and hung up the phone.
Watching the figure in military uniform slowly disappear before his eyes, He Ao leaned back on the chair and gently rubbed his forehead.
A mechanized mercenary group has come from the north. Although this mercenary group may not be strong enough to break through the North City Gate directly, it is possible to drag the main force of the North City Defense Army to the North Gate if it is equipped with advanced equipment.
.
In other words, the Nancheng City Defense Force has to face the mercenary regiment and aviation force of the Ivis Space System outside the south gate.
Bang bang bang——
There was a crisp knock on the door.
He Ao reached out and pressed the door open button on the table.
The office door opened, and Tucker, who was standing outside, looked at He Ao with confusion, "Mr. Linn, are you looking for me?"
"something,"
He Ao motioned for Tucker to come over, then clicked on the map on the desktop and pulled up the personal information of the warehouse owner who was next to the Nancheng command center. "This person should be in the St. Yilan District. Can he be found?"
Tucker glanced at it and walked to the desk, looked at the information, and nodded lightly, "It should be okay."
"This person has clear facts of collusion with gangs, and you can go to him for this reason,"
He Ao raised his hand and sent this information to Tucker's bracelet, "I need all the recent transaction information in his warehouse, the records of people entering and exiting, especially the suspected transactions with the Prisoner Gang in recent years.
His business is getting worse and worse, but his days are getting more and more prosperous. There should be a reason."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
Tucker nodded.
"As soon as possible, preferably tonight, you can give me the answer,"
He Ao rubbed his eyebrows, and then sent the information about the machinery factory and the chemical factory, "Check these two places for me as well, and ask people around the southern block if they know about them."
"good."
Tucker raised his bracelet, glanced at the message sent, and nodded slightly.
"And one more thing,"
He Ao seemed to have remembered something and looked up at Tucker, "Have you been active in the nearby wilderness before? Are you familiar with the wanderers in the surrounding wilderness?"
Although Linn ran through a lot of wilderness back then, it was mainly in the central and western regions of the federation. On the contrary, he didn't travel much near his hometown of Yilan City.
"I'm not very familiar with people in the south, but I know some people in the north."
Tucker thought.
"Is there still contact?"
He Ao then asked.
“I’ve been contacted more recently, mainly because it’s more convenient to contact me,”
Tucker smiled and explained,
"After Chenxi City promulgated the Wilderness Wanderer Act, basically all the surrounding wilderness wanderers entered Chenxi City, obtained social security card numbers, and ran between the city and the wilderness, relying on selling furs or being escorted by armed forces. They all had contacts in the city.
people,
"In the past, if you wanted to find them, you had to ask someone to go to the wilderness to deliver a message. Now you can contact them with just a phone call."
"Contact them, find a few tight-lipped and energetic people, and find out if there has been any disturbance in the northern wilderness recently, especially those mines in the north of Copes Mining,"
He Ao lowered his head, zoomed the map on the desktop to a map of the entire Yilan City, and looked up at the wilderness to the north of Yilan City, "Most of the way from Yilan City to Chenxi City is plain, and there are no traces of it.
It’s hard to get completely covered.”
"OK."
Tucker responded slightly.
"One last thing,"
He Ao raised his head and looked at Tucker, "Among the new people you recruited in the Southern Block, are there any people who are familiar with the Southern Block and the area around the Nancheng Command Center?"
Hearing He Ao's question, Tucker was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to fall into memories. Soon, he said,
"There really is one guy you've seen. He's the guy who queued up to see you in the morning. I talked to him. This guy can't sit still, and he's very courageous. He likes to run around. He's very familiar with the terrain of the entire southern neighborhood."
Following Tucker's narration, He Ao quickly recalled that Tucker was talking about the young man hiding outside the signboard in the low-rise neighborhood.
"Is he still in the South Block?"
He Ao looked at Tucker and asked slowly.
"He is now in the police station building behind the White Jasmine Palace,"
Tucker smiled and said, "I thought this kid had good abilities and was quite courageous, so I brought him here to train him and rented him a house near the police station building as a dormitory."
"Exactly. Are you going back to the police station building later?"
He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the map on the desktop, raised his hand, and closed the map directly, "Let's go together."
"What are you doing?"
Tucker was slightly startled.
"There are some things that cannot be solved in the White Jasmine Palace."
He Ao shook his head. At the same time, he raised his bracelet and made a call.
"Mr. Linn, what's the matter?"
The blond chief of staff appeared on the bracelet projection.
"Daisy, from now on, I will refuse anyone's visit. If anyone contacts me, I will transfer it to my personal bracelet."
He Ao looked at the blond chief of staff, "You will be solely responsible for the affairs of Bai Moli Palace for the time being."
"Mr. Linn..."
The blond chief of staff opened his mouth slightly.
"Just execute the order."
He Ao said quickly, "I will leave White Jasmine Palace in Director Tucker's car later."
"OK."
The blond chief of staff finally nodded in understanding.
He Ao hung up the phone, picked up the brass cane next to him, raised his bracelet, glanced at the time, and then looked at Tucker in front of him, "Let's go."
——
low-rise block
It was getting late, and the fading sunlight shone on the narrow and quiet streets, as well as on the old shops beside the streets.
The young man sitting on the roughly welded iron stool lowered his head, shining a light on the scattered parts on the table.
The TV at the far end of the room flickered, still playing replayed news.
The young man carefully welded a small chip onto the small and delicate motherboard, then raised the mechanical tweezers in his hand and asked slowly, "What's the matter?"
At this moment, under the rusty rolling shutter door of the store, stood a man holding a silver suitcase, wearing sunglasses, and wearing a dark formal suit.
"The higher up asked me to bring you something."
The man raised the suitcase in his hand and said quickly.
A faint light flowed through the gaps on his cheeks, showing a mechanical coldness.
"What else do I need to keep?"
With a cold expression on his face, the young man clamped the motherboard on the table to the left, took out a broken bracelet from a blue basket on the right, and quickly took it apart.
"An extraordinary object, part of a bargaining chip in this negotiation,"
The man said slowly, "It says it is safest to leave it here with you. If necessary, it can also temporarily increase your strength."
"Just leave it there."
The young man put the newly repaired motherboard into the disassembled bracelet, removed the broken glass from the bracelet, sealed it with a tape, and replaced it with a new piece of glass. Then he took out a small grinder from the side and removed the broken glass.
The welted part was carefully polished.
After hearing the young man's words, the man hesitated for a moment, and finally carefully placed the silver suitcase in his hand among a pile of boxes containing electronic components at the innermost side, bowed slightly to the young man, and slowly left the house.
Shop.
Shortly after he left, the young man looked at the polished and brand-new main body of the bracelet in his hand, slowly held it up to the light, and raised a smile on his lips.

city police building
"Mr. Lin En, are you looking for me?"
The young man wearing a brand new uniform stood at the door of the small conference room, looking at He Ao and Tucker in the office with some restraint.
"I have something to ask you,"
He raised his bracelet, connected it to the equipment in the conference room, and projected a three-dimensional map of the southern neighborhood and the area near the Nancheng command center.
Red lines spread out from some marked points on this map, connecting to the Nancheng Command Center.
This is a path automatically generated by Eve after analyzing the terrain data published on the Internet.
He Ao looked at the young man who had already walked over and asked quickly, "What other roads do you think can be taken from these points to the Nancheng Command Center?"
"The roads here seem to be more neatly laid out,"
The young man scratched his head and looked at the three-dimensional map carefully, "But there are some places on this map that are not very accurate."
He pointed to several of the buildings, "These buildings have collapsed, and then the road was opened where they collapsed."
Then he pointed to several hills made of construction waste, "There is not so much rubbish on these hills. Valuable steel wires and the like have been removed and sold. This road is actually open."
Along with his narration, the buildings on the map changed a bit, some buildings became collapsed, and some construction debris on the hills naturally separated.
"Right, that is it,"
Looking at the changes in the map, the young man was a little excited. He seemed to have never seen the evolution of such an advanced algorithm. He put his hand on one side of the map and said, "There is also this side. From the side of the low-rise block, you can go to the top of the building.
The buildings nearby are not high and are connected by wooden boards and iron frames. It is a shortcut and you can walk directly to the Commercial City."
"Commercial City?"
He Ao looked up at him. This term was not mentioned in the information collected by Eve.
"My own name,"
The young man scratched his head,
"There is an abandoned shopping mall. There are many vendors setting up stalls there, and some thieves or gang members will sell their stolen goods there. The road on the roof was paved by people going to the commercial city. It is very narrow and can only be used by people.
At most a few people passed by, but they were very close.
"Not many people know about that road, and people who take that road don't want others to see them going to Commercial City."
As the young man narrated, He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the area known as the Commercial City.
It was indeed marked as a trading point by Eve. Judging from the data collected by Eve, the trading volume of this trading point should not be large, and the whole place is actually not big. It is far from being called a 'city', it is just a place.
small building
His eyes moved eastward along this trading point, and the building of the Nancheng Command Center appeared in his sight.
However, this trading point is very close to the Nancheng Command Center.
A new red line also followed the young man's gestures, passing through the roofs of the small buildings and arriving at the trading point.
The road is almost a straight line, very close indeed.
"Any other questions?"
He Ao raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
"There are still some minor issues, and I don't know if the movie will affect them or not."
The young man nodded slightly, and then pointed out many errors on the map.
There is no problem with Eve's analytical ability, but she cannot obtain all the real map information from the Internet alone. The information on the southern block of Bai Moli Palace is still 20 years ago.
So He Ao really needs an experienced 'local' to provide him with more complete information.
Soon, along with the young man's narration, a more complete and realistic three-dimensional map also appeared.
"It should be almost done,"
The young man flipped the map and kept checking the details, "I have never been to the city defense army, so I don't know the specific structure. It should be like this outside."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
He Ao nodded and turned off the map projection.
He had been to the Nancheng Command Center, and he knew basically all the building structures. In addition, he also found the defense map Covey wanted to get near the command center.
"No trouble, no trouble,"
The young man waved his hands quickly, stuck his head out, and said curiously, "Mr. Lin En, what's the matter with you? Can I help?"
"You have been of great help,"
He Ao reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Train hard and improve yourself, and you can become the pillar of Yilan City in the future."
"yes!"
The young man suddenly became excited, stood at attention and gave a military salute.
"Boy, you did a great job today. You go to the door and wait for me."
Tucker glanced at He Ao who stopped talking, looked at the young man, and said quickly.
"good!"
The young man nodded, turned around, and wanted to walk forward, but walked out of the office with the same hand and feet.
"This guy is really good."
He Ao glanced at the young man who carefully opened the door and said with a smile.
"Very smart, but his personality is a bit out of the ordinary."
Tucker also sighed.
"Can you find a personal vehicle like that for sale around here?"
He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at Tucker, "The kind of car that makes people look at it and has nothing to do with the official car, don't want the kind of bulletproof and reinforced car."
There are many cars in the garage of Lynn's home, but Lynn's car has probably been touched for a long time. As soon as he drives it out, he will be directly recognized by interested people.
Hearing He Ao's question, Tucker paused slightly. He looked at He Ao, and after a brief thought, he said slowly, "I really know one. It's an old car, almost fifty years old."
"The old car doesn't matter, as long as it can be driven."
He Ao said slowly.
There are many old cars in the Federation, and there are many companies that specialize in old cars. These old cars are generally well maintained and parts are replaced regularly. Lynn's family has many old cars.
"Okay, I'll contact the car dealer."
Tucker immediately raised his bracelet and said.
···A few minutes later···
Tucker walked out of the office, looked at the excited young man in front of the door, waved his hand, "Let's go, pillar, it's time to arrest someone."
"Yes! Director Tucker!"
The young man immediately followed him excitedly.
······
On the street outside the police station building, an old man with gray hair and a straight posture wearing a gray suit walked around the crowd. In a remote alley, he saw the car he asked the car dealer to park on the road.
vehicles on the side.
It was an old-school streamlined silver-and-blue car, with the meteor and lightning emblem of the Federation super-luxury car Linster printed on it.
The car was not expensive, so He Ao directly transferred money to buy it.
He walked to the car, glanced at the silver-framed oval rearview mirror and the silver-plated handlebar, stretched out his hand, and opened the door, revealing a large area of solid wood decoration and soft leather that had been coated with maintenance wax.
Seat.
Compared with the technological style popular in the Federation now, this old car is more like a classical luxury carriage that existed in the historical fragments before the cataclysm.
He Ao put the brass cane on the passenger seat, got into the driver's seat, put his hand on the round solid wood-rimmed steering wheel, and started the vehicle.
He connected the bracelet to the car machine that had obviously been upgraded, and said slowly,
