Chapter 202 Entering the Fortress

Chapter 202 Entering the Fortress
January 99, 11 years into the Cataclysm.

The second day of the rebellion in the park.

Jiang He came out of the armory on the fourth floor. All twenty military mechas had completed the entry and were accepting the remote control command of Shuguang Intelligence.

After a night of running-in, the 2,000 stationed troops have established basic order, restored electricity and the Internet, and the second floors of the three buildings are all bustling with activity.

"Boss, the jeep is ready."

Dawn Tyrannosaurus brought the Chief Inspector here to report.

Jiang He walked into the jeep at the entrance of the park. He actually didn't know how to drive very well, but there were no roads in the wilderness, and as long as the car didn't overturn, no one could find fault. He sat in the driver's seat.

“This is the accelerator, right?”

The Chief Inspector's face changed slightly. Brother, are you asking me?

Before we set off, a group of birds came over from the back of the park. The leading crow was very large. From a human perspective, its feathers were as black as ink and its wings were as sharp as knives.

"Haha, Boss, here I come."

Through the animal companion channel, Wuhe excitedly introduced his experiences of the past few days. He went through great pains to capture two wild beasts, the Flamebirds. These guys hated humans, but had no obvious aversion to alien species.

"Boss, you need to go out."

Jiang He reached out and took out some wild beast meat and fed it to Wu He, saying, "I'm going to the fortress. You've come just in time. There are countless undercover agents in the park. You should find them all during this period."

Due to the existence of wild beasts, a large number of birds entering the fortress will immediately arouse vigilance from all parties. He does not plan to bring Wu Tong with him this time.

"This is a simple matter." Wuhe patted his chest with his wings.

The Dawn Tyrannosaurus bowed upon seeing this. The other party was the third most important person in Yuwang City and the steward of all the legions. He was a person of great power, second only to the city lord and the black commander.

Zhuang Ya woke up and said goodbye to Wuhe, then shrank back under her collar. The snake skin felt icy cold against her skin, but Jiang He was already used to it.

"See you later. Remember to pay attention to Lao Hei's situation. He has become the military advisor again."

"clear."

Two Dawn soldiers escorted the Chief Inspector to the passenger seat, and then they sat in the back seat.

A Da and A Er were the orderly soldiers carefully selected by the Dawn Tyrannosaurus to serve as his entourage for this outing. Afraid that the boss would not be able to remember them, he deliberately gave them extremely simple names.

Jiang He stepped on the accelerator and the jeep drove out of the main road of the park.

The Chief Inspector turned his head and was about to speak when he saw the cold golden snake eyes under the other's collar. His shoulders trembled a few times. Non-venomous snakes are extremely rare in the wilderness. A bite from them would either kill or injure.

"What should I call you?"

Until now, the Chief Inspector felt that he had lost sight of the young man's identity.

"What was written on the temporary investigator's credentials at the beginning."

"Jiang He."

"Then Jiang He."

The jeep was moving forward in a bumpy manner. The distance from the park to the fortress was not too far, and it only took half a day to go in a straight line. The location of the park took into account the wild survival ability of the fortress citizens. If they needed to stay overnight, many people would not dare to escape and enter the park, which would greatly increase the difficulty of deceiving people.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the hundred-meter-high silver wall was getting closer and closer, gradually occupying the entire field of vision. A flat road began to appear in front of them. Just below the fortress, tens of thousands of wanderers set up camp here, and small gathering places seemed to form an outer city. The jeep passed through the small gathering places, and Jiang He scanned the surrounding situation. Most of the wanderers were pale and thin. Many of them had radiation sickness from the wasteland, and huge tumors grew on their bodies. A considerable number of them had silver-lead disease. This special disease would gradually stiffen the human body, making the whole body feel as heavy as lead, and eventually die like a silver-white statue.

Silver lead disease is transmitted through blood, saliva and vaginal discharge, and the key point is that there is currently no cure.

Jiang He drove to the entrance of the fortress. The huge gate, more than ten meters high, looked like an execution platform, and it seemed like it might fall down at any time.

"Let me do it."

The Chief Inspector handed over his pass, which contained five 100-yuan Fortress coins. The right to mint coins was in the hands of the Alliance Council, and the various secondary organizations and Fortress Councils had no right to mint them. The original Silver City had greatly consolidated its power through economic means.

The guard didn't even look at the pass, he just raised his hand to let people in after taking the banknote. Although a document was recently issued from above to strictly review the entry and exit procedures, the Executive Office was bloated with staff, and the powers of the twelve departments were confused. The guarding post at the door belonged to both the Security Bureau and the Garrison Bureau. Before a major incident occurred, there was no sufficient external force, and assigning it to people was just a simple word.

The jeep moved forward a few dozen meters, passed through the outer wall tunnel, and the group arrived inside the fortress.

The scenery in front of me suddenly became clear. Unlike the chaotic and dilapidated atmosphere of the gathering place outside the wall, the inside of the fortress looked completely like a modern city, with neat streets, tall buildings, a constant stream of cars, and people's clothes were avant-garde and fashionable.

Jiang He held the steering wheel. He had a brief understanding before coming. The Ninth Fortress had a total of 16 districts, where the Ninth Army of the Alliance and the Garrison Corps directly under the Fortress Council were stationed, with a population of nearly 10 million.

"Mr. Jiang, Venus Hotel is owned by Mr. A. We need invitations for the celebrity banquet in two days. My suggestion is that we go to the auction to get two first to avoid trouble." The Chief Inspector suggested. The situation inside and outside the fortress is completely different. There are sound laws here.

"Can they still chase me away if I go over there?" Jiang He said.

"Uh..." The Chief Inspector hesitated, "If we can use the rules to reduce trouble, I think we should abide by them."

Jiang He hesitated for a moment and said, "That makes sense."

The chief inspector was stunned for a long while. He really didn't expect that the other party was someone who would listen to advice.

"You show the way."

"Ok."

Jiang He turned around and headed towards the auction house.

The Chief Inspector introduced on the way that the auction house of the entire fortress was a joint venture between Mr. A and the parliamentarian family, the Tu family. Most of the items on sale were reasonable and legal. As for the underground black market outside the wall, it was very disgraceful in comparison.

Leaving the city gate area, the jeep arrived at the college area.

The fortress has three major academies. The Military Academy continuously supplies talents to the Ninth Army and the Garrison Corps. Outstanding students can get platoon-level treatment after graduation. The students of the Political Academy are the main force of the Executive Office and receive G1 temporary treatment after graduation.

The last art academy has nothing to do with the military or politics. It trains artists for the upper class. Throughout the generations, it has produced talented dancers and singers who are famous in the league. The popular female idol Mia Straulen graduated from the art academy.

The jeep arrives at the auction venue in the commercial district.

A Da and A Er led the way. They were both strong, capable and skilled, and it was obvious that they were soldiers.

At this point, the Chief Inspector took out another certificate, which read: Senior Section Chief of the G3-level Security Bureau.

The documents were genuine, and the auction house manager led the two directly into the VIP room.

"Boss Jiang, Mr. A is currently the director of the Security Bureau of the Executive Office, a G4-level position of real power, which is slightly more valuable than his G5-level councillor title. His nominal boss is the executive officer, one of the three giants of the fortress."

The Chief Inspector explained, "According to the Fortress Law, as long as the leader of a large settlement joins the Fortress, he can obtain G4 citizenship. Once you get the park's advanced development order from Mr. A, you will immediately become a celebrity."

Jiang He remained noncommittal. He naturally preferred social honor to real power and military force.
