Chapter 483 Unidentified Vessel

At nine o'clock in the evening, at Pier No. 4 of U City Fishing Port.

Although it is spring, the temperature in U City has been very high in the past few days. Even at this time of night, the temperature has not dropped. The hot and humid sea breeze is mixed with a faint fishy smell, giving people the illusion of being at the beach on a summer afternoon.

Like other places in U City, there were basically no people here. Several returning fishing boats could be seen approaching the shore. They were probably fishermen who had sailed far away, so they returned to the dock at this time. Using the equipment to scan, there were five fishing boats in total, with about thirty people, basically ordinary people, but there were also one or two players from the Infinite City. But it was obvious that those players were just tourists.

The structure of the entire fishing port is relatively complex, and there are many places to hide. Han Zu found a small house and hid in it. After a quick observation, he found that this was a dispatch room, but it was estimated that no one had been here for a long time. In the computer in the dispatch room, the travel log that was closest to the current ship was also a few months ago.

Pier 4 is some distance away from the dispatch room, so as long as there is no loud noise, no one will look in this direction. Han Zu waited in the dispatch room for a while. At about 10:10, the last five fishing boats on the sea docked in the fishing port. The fishermen on the boats packed up their things, chatted with each other and left. In order to ensure that there would be no other people around, Han Zu waited for a while. At 10:30 in the evening, the last person to leave the fishing port closed the gate of the fishing port. Han Zu then left the dispatch room and returned to Pier 4.

Although he had not scouted the island, Han Zu had already chosen an island that he was optimistic about based on the distribution and size of the islands. It was located on the outermost side of the islands, only four nautical miles away from the edge of the territorial waters of the Dragon Kingdom. The place was deserted and there were no fish gathering nearby, so it was a good place. The reason why Han Zu came to Pier 4 was because the island he was optimistic about was at the farthest diagonal of Pier 4.

After a quick search of the dock and confirming that there was no one else, Han Zu prepared to take off and land directly on the island. However, just as he was about to take off, the contractor's equipment scanned a strange ship. To be precise, it was not the ship that was strange, but the ridiculously high energy reaction in the cabin.

"A high concentration of abnormal energy reaction has been detected."

"Armed escort detected, threat level being assessed."

"Completed, Threat Level: Medium."

"Ok?"

According to Han Zu's current strength, all the hostile units he encounters should be of low or negligible threat to him. The medium threat level is comparable to the enemies on the 100th floor of the Contractor's Territory Building. If converted to players in the Infinite City, he should be at least a leader among the middle-class players. However, according to previous investigations, except for the five founders of the U City Quack Association, there should be no such combat power in U City.

But at the same time, Han Zu was also sure that the people on that ship were definitely not from the Quack Society. After all, although the two sides had never met, Han Zu had seen some dungeon matches of the Quack Society when he was killing time in the hotel before. According to his analysis, the combined combat power of these five people should be about the same as that of the fully armored Tig soldiers. It is hard to say that they are not at the level of an annihilation team, after all, the two sides have never fought. But according to Han Zu's speculation, if the people on the ship were them, then the threat level given by the equipment should be at least medium to high.

If it was someone from the unlimited company, then it would make sense. Although Han Zu had great authority in the unlimited company before, even at that time, Han Zu did not know all the departments of the unlimited company. After all, those departments were under the board of directors, and they did not get along with him, so he had no chance to know them. However, according to this idea, there are two points that do not make sense.

First, if they are people from the Unlimited Company, they will definitely not use this kind of civilian fishing port. The Unlimited Company has its own dock, and the equipment at the dock is much more complete. Even if it is some gray operation that cannot be shown on the surface, the Unlimited Company has its own secret base that can fully meet various mission requirements.

Second, Han Zu used the contractor's equipment to access 70% of the unlimited company's equipment and information nodes. However, in the archives of these places, there was no information about sending senior personnel to City U. But if it was those top personnel who could not search for information, their threat level could not be just medium.

There is one thing related to this idea that makes Han Zu a little puzzled, that is, as an advanced civilization that is several times ahead of humans in all fields, the contractor's equipment can't crack the unlimited company's information 100%, and it's not because of the lack of technology, but because the information seems to use other storage nodes that are completely different from technological products. The unlimited company must have some shocking secrets that even the contractor can't explore. This makes Han Zu look at the unlimited company with new eyes. After all, as a beneficiary of the contractor's technology, he knows the contractor's strength and understands what it means that the unlimited company has secrets that even the contractor can't fully know.

Han Zu frowned, and doubts surged in his heart. It seemed that if he wanted to enhance his multi-dimensional strength in the future, he really needed to learn more about the Infinite Company. However, Han Zu's attention was not entirely on the Infinite Company at the moment. This strange ship was what he cared about most. The matter of the hiding place could be put aside for the time being. Han Zu decided to see what the ship was all about.

The ship had not yet approached the fishing port and was still on the sea, but according to the calculations of the equipment, it was basically determined that the ship's destination was Pier 4. Coincidentally, the ship's approach to the shore was not fast, and it seemed to be confirming the safety of the pier. So Han Zu decided to act cautiously first, and under the cover of night, quietly approached the location where the ship was going to dock, and found a suitable opportunity to find out.

Using the obstacles at the dock as cover, Han Zu carefully sneaked towards the scheduled docking location of the ship. When he approached a certain distance, Han Zu found a position that was not easily discovered, and used his powerful visual ability to observe the ship. But an abnormal situation occurred. Han Zu's perspective could not directly penetrate the bulkhead of the ship. The equipment did not detect the equipment that could have a shielding effect, which meant that the material of the ship itself must not be ordinary. But it was not completely impossible. After all, the appearance of the ship was a medium-sized fishing boat, and there happened to be several portholes half open.

Through the porthole that was not closed tightly, he saw the general situation inside the cabin. Several mysterious people in strange combat uniforms were sitting back to back in a circle, surrounding a relatively unusual looking container. Because they were wearing full-coverage masks, Han Zu was unable to observe their true appearance, but he could confirm one thing, that is, the perspective ability also did not work on these masks, and they were not ordinary equipment.

Through observation, Han Zu was able to basically confirm that these people should be transporting the container in the middle. According to the energy signal, the highly concentrated abnormal energy reaction scanned by the equipment before should have come from that container.

The shape of the container is a metal object that is approximately rectangular, 20 cm long, 20 cm wide and cm high. There is a handle on the top. The handle is very large and does not seem to be sized to fit a human hand. It may be for devices such as robotic arms, but no connection point is found under the handle. It seems that there is no structure such as a lid, or a part that can be opened, and the structure has zero tolerance with the container body.

At the same time, the material of this container is the most suspicious point, because the contractor's equipment cannot accurately determine what the material of the container is. However, based on the comparison of the measured data, many contractors have already identified materials with similar data, but the precise similarity is not high.

About twenty minutes later, the ship disguised as an ordinary medium-sized fishing boat finally docked at a location on Pier 4. Han Zu stared at the exit of the ship and continued to monitor it. But after waiting for a few minutes, no one left the ship. Looking around, no one else appeared from other locations in the fishing port or approached the ship.

Han Zu wanted to continue to observe the situation inside the cabin through the open portholes on the ship, but the people inside closed all the portholes near the container after the ship docked. All these unreasonable behaviors made Han Zu more concerned about this strange ship, so he continued to hide his body, cautiously approached the ship again, and finally successfully arrived a few meters away from the ship.

"Buzz..."

Just a dozen seconds after Han Zu arrived at the current location, the ship's engine was finally completely shut down, and then the hatch slowly opened, and footsteps were heard from the cabin. It was two of the mysterious men in strange combat uniforms who quickly got off the ship and looked around, seemingly on guard. After confirming that there was no situation, one of the mysterious men on the dock gestured towards the hatch, and the others got off the ship.

The gestures used by that person were not common communication gestures. It was certain that they were not from the military or the unlimited company, at least not from the special operations forces that Han Zu knew about. The gestures they used should be unique and could not be inferred from other common gestures. However, based on the environment, the general meaning should be "It is safe here, you can move", or "Continue to move".

"Several anti-gravity devices detected."

However, the abnormality of these mysterious people is not limited to this. Among those who disembarked later, four people were carrying the previous container. According to the analysis of the contractor's equipment, the four people carrying the container all used the same level of anti-gravity devices. Based on the energy consumption of the anti-gravity device and the frequency of the four people's movement, the weight of the strange container calculated really surprised Han Zu. According to the reading of the equipment, it was at least more than 600 tons, which was equivalent to the maximum load of an ordinary transport plane of the unlimited company.

It is not uncommon to miniaturize heavy objects, but what is rare is this chaotic way of transportation. A container that is the same size as a medium-sized wine barrel and weighs more than 600 tons, no matter what is inside, must be very important. In this case, it stands to reason that the security level for the transportation of such items should be particularly high, instead of like now, with less than eight people in total.

Han Zu pondered over the strange behavior of these people while keeping a safe distance and followed their pace. These mysterious people were carrying containers and moving towards the outside of the dock. Han Zu was a little curious and wanted to find out where they were going. Soon, these mysterious people took the containers and turned around and finally left the dock. They exited the fishing port away from the street and came to a transport vehicle disguised as a truck. The person in charge of vigilance knocked twice on the rear of the transport vehicle, and the hatch of the cargo compartment opened automatically. The contractor's equipment detected the same anti-gravity device in the cargo compartment of this transport vehicle. However, according to the scan results, there was no driver on the vehicle. Preliminary judgment is that this should be an unmanned vehicle controlled remotely.

Those mysterious men first checked the safety of the transport vehicle, and after confirming that everything was correct, they moved the container onto the cargo compartment. However, after the container was loaded, they did not get on the vehicle, but left the cargo compartment directly. The person in charge of alert also knocked on the body of the vehicle twice, and the cargo compartment door closed automatically, but the transport vehicle did not leave.

After completing the loading, the mysterious men immediately returned to the original route, drove the boat disguised as a fishing boat, and quickly left from the sea. After confirming that the distance was widened, Han Zu used the equipment to lock the signal of the transport vehicle, then immediately bypassed the transport vehicle and returned to his own car, ready to track the vehicle at any time to see where it would go.

However, until midnight, the vehicle did not make any movement, which made Han Zu a little confused. But just as he was thinking about what was going on with this person, he suddenly thought of a possibility that he almost forgot.

"Could that vehicle actually be a moving teleporter?!"

Han Zu frowned at the thought. Waiting like this might not be a solution, so he left the car and went back to the unmanned vehicle. Han Zu couldn't sit still anymore, so he decided to open the vehicle and see if the container was really gone. He might be able to find clues based on the traces left inside.

"Multiple armed units detected approaching, threat level being assessed."

"Completed, Threat Level: High."

However, just as Han Zu was about to approach the vehicle and force open the cargo door, the information scanned by the equipment made him stop his actions and hide nearby again. Someone was rushing towards the direction of the vehicle. Han Zu tried his best to stay hidden and prepare to see who the other person was.
