Chapter 1781 Preparing to Enter the City 2

As the convoy drew closer, the full view of the base gradually unfolded.

Beneath the outline of the Yanshan Mountains, a pale blue energy shield enveloped the entire area like a canopy.

The 60-meter-high main city wall stands majestically, its massive alloy outline becoming increasingly clear in the twilight. The defensive fortifications on both sides of the road become denser, with machine gun nests and watchtowers scattered throughout. Occasionally, soldiers can be seen patrolling between the fortifications, while the low hum of drones can be heard overhead.

With their destination in sight, the air in the carriage gradually grew heavy. Everyone subconsciously straightened their backs, their fingertips clenching involuntarily, a mixture of tension and anticipation spreading through the carriage.

Finally, the three checkpoints at the main gate of the base were clearly visible.

The area outside the main gate was orderly, with three clearly defined passageways:

Long queues formed at the regular survivor entrance, while the entrance for those with special abilities was relatively quick. The "official docking entrance" on the far right was particularly well-organized, with drinking water and first-aid kits placed under the sunshade. Guides in uniform patiently directed those entering the area.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Jingcheng drove the convoy directly into the official docking channel, where guards immediately stepped forward to signal him to stop.

A middle-aged man wearing an "Inspector" epaulette walked to the driver's seat, raised his hand in salute, and spoke in a calm and serious tone:

"Hello, please show your contact credentials, identification information, and the register of accompanying persons."

Lu Jingcheng got out of the car, handed over the encrypted documents and team confirmation, and spoke calmly:

"Lu Jingcheng, the captain of the first team of the Blazing Fire Team, was ordered to escort important supplies to the handover point, and the person in charge of the Blazing Fire Team headquarters in Youzhou Base was Xu Ying."

The inspector took the document and placed it into a portable encrypted verification terminal. The screen lit up instantly and began synchronizing data with the base's core system.

At the same time, two guards pushed a mobile detection device toward the convoy. The probe on top of the device emitted a faint red light, scanning the vehicles and the people inside from all angles.

This is the base's "multi-dimensional energy detection system," which can accurately capture abnormal energy fluctuations and identify dangerous items and signs of viral infection, leaving no gaps in its meticulousness.

"Beep—Beep—Beep!"

Just as the red light from the detection equipment swept across the passenger seat where Li Luo was, the verification terminal suddenly emitted a sharp alarm, and the red warning light flashed wildly, disrupting the sense of order in the passageway.

The inspector's face instantly darkened, and his hand unconsciously went to the ability suppressor at his waist. The surrounding guards immediately surrounded him, forming a loose perimeter, but they did not show any obvious hostility, only maintaining a professional guarded posture.

"What's going on?" Lu Jingcheng frowned, standing silently in front of the car door, his tone steady yet carrying an undeniable confidence, "We are the officially authorized liaison team, and all personnel are normal."

"Abnormal energy fluctuations detected, suspected to be from a high-risk, unknown energy source." The inspector's gaze fell on Li Luo, his tone still serious. "According to base regulations, targeted verification of the abnormal area is required. Please cooperate."

Li Luo's heart leaped into her throat, and her fingertips instinctively curled until they turned white.

She knew that the backpack was just a decoy; the zombie virus reagent was hidden in the deepest part of the space, wrapped in layers of energy shielding. However, the energy characteristics of this reagent were too special. Even with the tightest shielding, there were still extremely weak fluctuations that leaked out, which were detected by this sophisticated instrument.

This reagent is crucial to the mission and must never be exposed in public.
