Chapter 1782 Preparing to Enter the City 3
In the apocalypse, people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can guarantee that there are no undiscovered moles or spies planted by destructive forces within the Youzhou base.
You have to understand, they went through a lot of trouble to snatch this reagent back from the forces of destruction.
They traveled thousands of miles and overcame countless life-or-death challenges to escort them here.
Every step was soaked in blood and sweat!
Once exposed in public, and discovered by an insider, the destructive forces will undoubtedly spare no effort to seize or destroy the reagents.
All the hardships and obstacles along the way, the injuries and sacrifices of the team members, will be in vain, and all the efforts will be wasted.
That won't work!
Li Luo's brain was working at lightning speed.
Refusing verification would immediately increase their suspicions, and we might be blocked at the base gate, making it impossible to advance the subsequent mission.
However, if they cooperate with a public inspection, and the insider notices and keeps track of the reagents, the news will quickly reach the ears of the destructive forces.
Even though she has the reagents firmly in her hands and they are perfectly safe, if she really hands them over, she has no control over what will happen next. Who knows if they will be snatched back or destroyed?
Then all the suffering I endured before was for nothing!
Caught off guard by Lu Jingcheng's composed profile, Li Luo forced herself to suppress a hint of panic. She secretly gathered a faint trace of her copying ability at her fingertips, preparing herself to shield herself from any leaked energy fluctuations. At the same time, she quickly considered various possible responses, not daring to relax for a moment.
She absolutely cannot let everyone's hard work go to waste!
The others in the convoy immediately tensed up.
Everyone knew that this verification was not only about whether they could successfully enter the base, but also about the safety of the hard-won reagents and the results of the entire team's hard work. There was no room for error.
Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, Lu Jingcheng remained calm and composed, pulling a silver metal token from his inner pocket and handing it to the inspector. His tone was steady yet carried an undeniable confidence:
"This is the highest-level access token for a top-secret project. The supplies being escorted this time fall under the category of top-secret, and are the core carriers of the secret mission. It is of utmost importance, and no one except the designated contact person has the right to inspect them. Now, please contact Xu Ying, the person in charge at the headquarters of the Blazing Fire Team, immediately. He will give you clear instructions."
The token had a cold, metallic sheen, with intricate, exclusive dark patterns engraved on its surface. The words "Top Secret" were prominently engraved in the center, and tiny energy crystals were inlaid around the edges. It was a secret cross-base communication credential used exclusively by the high-ranking officials of the Jinling Base and the Youzhou Base, making it extremely difficult to forge.
The inspector's eyes narrowed instantly upon seeing the token, his pupils contracted slightly, and he quickly took it with both hands for careful examination.
The token gleamed with a cold metallic luster, its dark patterns were intricate and precise, and the faint energy flowing through the crystals at its edges was pure and unique, making it impossible to replicate in ordinary times.
He felt a chill run down his spine, his expression instantly becoming more composed, and he never mentioned opening the box for inspection again.
He looked up at Lu Jingcheng, his gaze filled with a mixture of curiosity and awe.
The Blazing Fire Team was originally a top-tier elite team specially formed by the state to combat foreign forces and the dangers of the apocalypse.
The identities of all team members are top secret; they are known by name but never seen in person.
Lu Jingcheng's name was already well-known within the base's security system and among key personnel.
