Chapter 1314 Sneaking into the Mining Area
After leaving the gathering place of the Great Wilderness people in Area K3, the team soon headed for the first destination designated by Lin Yu.
The hills are located between the two mining areas of Shenli Group.
Arriving here, the scenery of the wilderness is finally no longer monotonous.
The terrain here is slightly undulating, and several hills no more than 100 meters high, formed by wind erosion, form the landmarks here.
But what stands out more than these hills is...
A steel structure that looks like a huge mountain.
The giant mechanical platform built by the Dahuang Development Enterprise under the Shenli Group stands on the ground like a row of steel nails nailed into the ground.
The huge mechanical arm moved slowly, driving the drill group under the platform to mine the alchemically active ore deep inside. Every time it was lifted and lowered, a low, thunder-like rumble would be heard from deep within the earth, as if these large alchemical equipment were roaring.
Lin Yu raised his head and looked at the LOGO painted above the mechanical platform, the clenched green fist and the two swords crossed behind the fists, which demonstrated the style of Shenli Group that has always respected "strength".
"So, how does Director Arthur plan to conduct the investigation?"
After the vehicle stopped at the hill, Huo Ming of Buyetian asked.
"After all, this is the jurisdiction of the Divine Power Group. If I show up here rashly...if I stay here for too long, it might cause some misunderstanding."
"I think the Shenli Group will soon notice my arrival and send someone to inquire and negotiate, or even invite me to be their guest."
Lin Yu nodded slightly when he heard what Huo Ming said. "Don't worry, you can just negotiate with them normally and say that you are just passing through here to rest."
"I will lead Forbolo on a secret investigation... Once the investigation is complete, I will naturally return to reunite with you, Your Excellency."
As Lin Yu spoke, Huo Ming in the Buyetian Temple began to ponder.
"You're operating on the Divine Power Group's territory without permission... This is the Great Wilderness. If your whereabouts are exposed, you might be hunted down by them—and, this pursuit is completely legal."
"Although our team is more than capable of wiping out and suppressing a settlement of the Great Wilderness people without any experts, launching a full-scale attack on the Divine Power Group's stronghold... is still beyond our capabilities."
"If I want to protect you in that situation, I'm afraid I'll have to transfer at least three teams... but that would be considered a localized war!"
Huo Ming of Buyetian said seriously.
Although Buye Tianhuo's words were serious, her implication was naturally...
Lin Yu can act alone, but he'd better be careful.
This was also the result of Lin Yu actively demonstrating his abilities since entering the Great Wilderness. If Lin Yu had not shown his amazing fighting ability when the Great Wilderness people attacked, and had not successfully broken down their psychological defenses in the form of a "performance" during the interrogation of the Great Wilderness people, demonstrating that he was also very smart, I'm afraid that if he wanted to act independently now, he would have to fight with Huo Ming of the Nevernight Sky, and might even have to take the risk of creating some "lost" accidents and coincidences.
but now……
Lin Yu has already obtained the approval of Huo Ming from Buyetian to delegate power to him and allow him to move freely in the territory of Shenli Group.
So, upon hearing Huo Ming's warning, Lin Yu simply waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't be discovered... Please trust my professionalism, sir. I was able to reach my current B-1 rank by secretly investigating various projects."
After hearing Lin Yu's assurance, Huo Ming of Buyetian felt more convinced - after all, Lin Yu's previous demonstration of his abilities also gave Huo Ming of Buyetian reason to believe that this Supervisor Arthur was not a person who liked to talk nonsense.
If he says he is sure, then he must be absolutely sure.
But as the head of the Great Wilderness branch of Truth Company, Huo Ming of Buyetian cannot make judgments entirely based on his intuition.
She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "That being said, we still need to be prepared in case you're discovered..."
Lin Yu whispered, "There won't be that kind of 'what if'."
"But... since you asked, if I were ever discovered, it would be my own fault. You should just cut ties with me. There's no need to mobilize so much power for me or risk going to war with the Divine Power Group to rescue me."
"If I try to escape myself, I will—if that doesn't work, you should focus on negotiating and discussing matters diplomatically."
"Even if I can't escape, the Divine Power Group probably won't kill me."
Lin Yu told these backup plans, and Huo Ming sighed.
"You are the one my mother chose for me to protect. How could I really give up on you under those circumstances?"
"Besides, it's okay if it's just you...you just said you want to take Forbolto with you!"
As Huo Ming spoke, Lin Yu continued, "Don't worry about the Patriarch. She will definitely not blame you because of me... As for Mr. Forboluo, he himself will not really follow me into the Divine Power Group. The possibility of him encountering danger is extremely small."
"What's more, Mr. Forbolo has many ways to save his life and escape. It will definitely not be easy for the Divine Power Group to capture him alive."
When Fu Luo heard the topic turn to him, he spread his hands and said half-jokingly, "If anything happens to me, the head of the family might give you more authority to solve the problem instead of blaming Lord Huo Ming. That way, you don't have to worry about a local war with the Divine Power Group. You only need to worry about whether you can win. As long as you win, it will be a great achievement."
After hearing Lin Yu and Fu Luo's words in unison, Huo Ming of Buyetian finally made up his mind.
"Although everyone in Nevernight City has always believed that the Great Wilderness is the territory of the Divine Power Group and that our Truth Company is the weakest there... but honestly, I think it's only because we haven't had a formal fight in decades!"
"If a war really breaks out, I'm confident I won't lose on a local battlefield—just go for it."
Huo Ming of Buyetian looked at Lin Yu and said.
As the youngest of the young, and the daughter of the firstborn who was driven out of the family's power center, Huo Ming of Buyetian has always had an undisguised and very strong desire to "establish merit."
At the moment, she was still not so sure that Lin Yu would be safe.
But Lin Yu and Fu Luo have successfully convinced her that problems can sometimes be turned into opportunities!
This allowed Huo Ming of Buyetian to make a judgment.
Lin Yuye and Fu Luo stood up and walked to the door of the heavy transport vehicle. "I'm really sorry, sir. I'm afraid this is still not your chance to show off your skills."
The car door opened, and Lin Yu and Fu Luo refused the elite equipment provided by Huo Ming of Buyetian and presented by the members of the Seventh Team.
Although these equipments will provide them with functions such as insulation, navigation, convenient movement, and auxiliary combat in the wilderness, the probability of normal people surviving in the wilderness will be greatly increased with these equipments; masters will be even more powerful with these equipments.
But for Lin Yu...
These are still not necessary.
Fu Luo is an information life form.
And he... also has a lot of [Props] that can provide similar help.
Whether it is supply or movement, combat or direction identification, Lin Yu has a comprehensive response plan.
Although Lin Yu felt that he was not strong enough, he did not think that he was weak either: he always got at least two reviews in each dungeon, plus the "double rewards" he got through his operations and the various extraordinary powers he secretly learned from other worlds...
Lin Yu knew very well that although he had a gap in his upper limit compared to the top masters, his greatest advantage was that he was "comprehensive" enough.
In most cases, Lin Yu can find a solution.
Therefore, when traveling in the wilderness, he does not need to rely on the standard equipment of the Truth Company.
After all, for Lin Yu, these equipments might become a burden that would expose his identity if he wanted to sneak into the territory of Shenli Group.
Just after leaving the vehicle, Lin Yu took Fu Luo and started heading towards one of the mining areas.
Although they didn't walk fast at first, after confirming that they were gradually out of the surveillance range of Huo Ming in the Nightless City...
Lin Yu immediately put Fu Luo into the [Ancient Notes], then released Hannah to hide his own figure, and completely disappeared from the sight of Huo Ming and her subordinates in the Nevernight Sky.
For Huo Ming of Buyetian, it was only when he reacted that he realized that Lin Yu was gone.
After all, it was impossible for her to agree to let Lin Yu act on his own and take the initiative to monitor him using extremely high-standard means when he obviously had a "secret mission" assigned by his mother.
After Lin Yu completely disappeared, he began to rush on his way recklessly.
Lin Yu activated the "Wind Vein Technique", combined it with the "Wind Riding Bracelet" and the "Alchemy·Butterfly Wings", and began to travel quickly.
It took almost no time to reach the mining area, which was only a few kilometers away.
Standing at the entrance of the mining area, Lin Yu felt even more deeply the enormity of those machines and the oppressive feeling brought by their enormity.
Near this mining area, you can even feel the entire earth shaking regularly and subtly when you step on the ground.
The tall concrete walls and the guard posts manned by armed personnel on the walls look very intimidating. Trucks transporting mined alchemical ore raw materials and waste slag on the roads outside the mining area must also undergo security checks before entering or exiting.
Although it is not as strict and tight as the entry and exit checkpoints in the city that never sleeps, it also reflects that this mining area is indeed not a place where ordinary people can enter and exit at will.
But this did not pose a problem for Lin Yu.
While remaining invisible, he only needed to get close to the concrete wall and activate the "spiritual transformation" of the [Gray Spirit Eye] to enter the mining area silently!
After all, this trick is more than enough to sneak into the Northern Domain Palace of the Three Hills Kingdom Spirit Clan in the Black Swamp Realm.
What's more, how can we go through this wall which was probably built to prevent people from entering the wilderness?
