Chapter 234: Chapter 112: Flying Wing Assault Unit, Firewood’s Black Technology!

"Okay."

Cheng Ye nodded slightly, taking out his identity badge from his pocket.

Zhang Jian immediately took out the "Defense Communication" device from his pocket, which indeed resembled a modern smartphone, much smaller than the big brick-like ones in Happiness City.

He took photos of the badge from both sides and compared them with the database.

Two seconds later, the verification confirmation lit up.

Zhang Jian immediately saluted in a standard manner: "Hello, Inspector Cheng!"

"We have already notified several departments including the Department of Defense, Inspection Station, and Liaison Department, and we ask for your assistance in maintaining vigilance to ensure no one rushes through the Fog Cave."

"No problem."

Cheng Ye replied, turning his head to give Long a look.

Long understood instantly, signaling everyone to step back and guard the entrance of the lounge.

"Inspector Cheng, from your situation over there, has the Void Mist completely enveloped you?"

Zhang Jian’s gaze swept over the congealed white mist outside the lounge, his tone carrying a bit of professional seriousness.

After speaking, he realized he sounded like he was interrogating a suspect, and quickly tried to correct himself.

However, he was interrupted by Cheng Ye, "Yes."

To be honest, Zhang Jian’s attitude, his tone, really gave a sense of familiarity, reminiscent of modern times.

"Do you remember the time when the Fog Cave appeared? Sorry, we need to document this first, so later we can reduce unnecessary inquiries when comparing data."

"Understandable."

Cheng Ye glanced at the Defense Communication, "From the time the Fog Cave appeared to now, it’s been roughly 12 minutes."

"Twelve minutes..."

Zhang Jian quickly tapped on his phone to synchronize and upload the information, "Can you describe the situation when you encountered the Fog Cave? Just a rough account will do, no need for detailed specifics."

"I wasn’t here when the Fog Cave appeared; I came in afterward."

Cheng Ye beckoned to Long at the back, "Tell Captain Zhang what happened in the lounge."

"Understood."

Long thought for a moment, then quickly said, "When we were tidying up the chairs and tables, we suddenly noticed a layer of mist covering the wall, like... a big water bubble wrapped around the wall. We didn’t dare to touch it. Later, it seemed like someone from your side touched it; that bubble burst open, and it became the corridor you see now."

"Our person touched it?"

Zhang Jian frowned slightly and whispered a few words into his earpiece.

Opposite the Fog Cave, team members immediately turned around to ask the residents who had just been observing.

Within ten seconds, this fact was confirmed.

"Sorry, Inspector Cheng, they didn’t expect the Fog Cave to appear directly in the city."

"No problem."

Cheng Ye waved it off, more concerned about another matter, "Firewood Shelter City hasn’t been enveloped by the Void Mist, has it?"

"No!"

Zhang Jian shook his head, "The current coverage of the Void Mist is in your Stone Province area, but the endpoints are randomly generated. There have been Fog Caves linking to Firewood before in Sand Province, but that corridor was only a fifth of this size and disappeared in less than half an hour."

"Half an hour..."

Cheng Ye repeated, waves of thoughts cresting in his mind.

If even a smaller-scale Fog Cave could last this long, wouldn’t this massive one spanning the entire wall stay stable until the Void Mist completely dissipates?

Just then, there was activity again on the opposite side of the Fog Cave.

Several whistling slicing sounds came through, not from the street, but...

The slightly dark night sky!

Cheng Ye instinctively looked up, his gaze freezing in place, his breath caught.

He saw four individuals in black and blue uniforms, riding objects akin to hoverboards, swooping down from the night sky like legendary cultivators riding flying swords!

Damn, what is this?

Anti-gravity technology?

Cheng Ye’s eyes widened in shock, thinking he might be hallucinating.

Granted, Firewood Shelter City’s technological level is supposed to be higher than Happiness City, but not to this extent, right?

Three or four seconds later.

Once the flyers were closer, he could see the details clearly. It wasn’t anti-gravity; the hoverboards had a pair of black metal wings on their sides. The feathered blades vibrated so rapidly they turned into a blur, yet produced immense thrust, allowing them to fly, glide, and even hover mid-air.

"Is that... the Flying Wing Assault Unit?"

Next to him, Long murmured with eyes as wide as saucers, "The radio said Firewood Shelter City had airborne individuals capable of solo flight. I thought they were exaggerating..."

Flying Wing Assault Unit?

Cheng Ye paused, about to ask more, but then saw everyone on the ground saluting the air.

The four adjusted their flight posture, landing slowly inside the quarantine zone. The wings’ buzzing gradually diminished, folding neatly against their backs in a streamlined design.

Wow, collapsible design too.

The leader... well, let’s call him the pilot, removed his helmet, revealing a fairly young face.

"Captain Zhang, tough work, leave the subsequent liaison to us."

"Yes, Inspector Li!"

Zhang Jian saluted again, promptly stepping aside with his team, expanding the isolation area once more.

The residents who watched the commotion earlier realized the situation’s gravity when the inspectors arrived, and quickly made their exit.

Inspectors?

These flyers are inspectors from Firewood Shelter City?

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but swallow hard, suddenly feeling like a primitive person stepping through a time tunnel into the future.

How impressive, he’s also an inspector, yet he can’t even afford a Big Golden Cup.

What’s with their version?

A flying sword cultivator version?

For some reason, Cheng Ye instinctively opened the panel, glancing at the cooperation rate in the top-right corner.

Well, it was entirely in single digits, except for Zhang Jian, which was slightly higher, but still only 13%.

"If I can search Inspector Li, can I find it on him, hmm... the Flying Wing Assault Unit under his feet?"
