Unconventional security

Right.

Chen Bei's pupils contracted slightly; this was the first time he had experienced this.

Isn't having a splitting headache an illness?!

But what is its specific use? Why don't I feel anything when I look at other things?

"Where did you get this?"

Chen Bei looked at the businessman. He hadn't encountered this situation in the past few years, but unexpectedly, he encountered it today.

This wasn't his first time in District D; he'd even robbed caravans before, but he'd never had this kind of reaction before.

"It was found outside the city."

The businessman hesitated, and Chen Bei raised an eyebrow, asking, "A restricted area?"

The former nodded. Although the Upper City District strictly prohibits such things in the restricted area, unspoken rules still exist.

This is why Chen Bei, as the head of the police station, was unaware of matters related to the restricted area.

Unless you specifically ask around, you'll rarely hear about this kind of thing.

Is my brain disease related to creatures in forbidden zones?

What exactly does unlocking the first genetic lock yourself have to do with?

Should we withhold this shipment?

Several questions popped into his mind in an instant. Although this batch of goods was being sent to the upper city, it wouldn't be difficult for him to seize it. He could simply plant the merchant in front of him in the ground to pretend to be a ginseng plant.

Chen Bei sized up the man in front of him, and immediately abandoned the idea.

He still needed to enter the upper city, and carrying the lost items from other caravans was too risky. Leaving them in the city was also not safe, as they might cause trouble during the patrol days in a few days.

"Bring out the rest of your caravan for me to see."

The other party dared not disobey, and pulled Chen Bei to the caravan's transport wagon, lifting the tarpaulin to reveal various items piled together inside: wood, plants, ores...

Finally, Chen Bei's gaze stopped on a yellow biological skin. White light spots gathered on the skin again, forming a 3D image of a pterosaur with a wingspan of 4 meters.

Chen Bei was thinking about some of the pterosaur's movements, so this time the image hovered in the air, then fell to the ground, and then evolved into several bones, flesh, and skin. Finally, the skin entered the human city and all the way to City 103.

"What is this thing?"

"Dune Wing, found near hillsides, omnivorous, this one has a wingspan of about 4 meters."

They matched up again.

The subsequent evolution involved dismemberment and the transportation of the body parts.

Nothing else exhibited this phenomenon. Chen Bei nodded without saying anything. He didn't ask the merchant what the difference was between the multi-egg crocodile, the dune wing, and the other creatures on the transport vehicle.

Asking about these two things individually is too sensitive; I can only leave it for Ye Zhixue or Dr. Zhou.

After leaving the stall, Chen Bei and Gu Mengyao began to place security robots along the road, one every fifteen meters, for a total of 30.

All caravans were brought under the protection of the security robots.

Chen Bei calculated the exact location, and the last security robot was placed right in front of the Red Fang caravan.

Before Chen Bei could even go looking for them, the caravan captain ran over first.

"Are you Director Chen?"

The captain, a middle-aged man, casually offered me a cigarette as he spoke.

New Star Tobacco, a high-quality tobacco cultivated with new technology, ranks among the top ten in quality today.

Chen Bei accepted one without hesitation and readily agreed.

"I am Qian Feng, the captain of the Red Fang Caravan," Qian Feng introduced himself, bending down to light a cigarette for Chen Bei, and continued.

"Dr. Zhou asked me to come find you. We were originally supposed to leave tonight, but something unexpected happened; we lost one of our shipments..."

"The goods are lost?"

Chen Bei was taken aback, then continued, "It was only about half an hour between you arriving in City 103 and my arrival, right?"

He's already moving fast enough. Once the caravan arrives, he'll get to work as quickly as possible, since the caravan needs to find different places to set up tents and stalls.

"It's only 30 minutes. We've checked many times. All the goods were there before we came to District 103."

Qian Feng kept fidgeting with his hands as he spoke, his anxiety was clearly visible.

"That item is the main cargo for this caravan. Without it, we'll have to go back to the restricted area to find it, and we won't be able to enter the upper city in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bei had no choice but to take it seriously.

The longer it drags on, the greater the risk of him being exposed. Moreover, if this thing is left in his 103rd district and happens to coincide with a period of investigation, he will definitely be re-examined.

"What did you lose? See if any other caravans have it. I'll rob some for you."

Chen Bei asked in a low voice, "Anyway, among these thirty-odd caravans, maybe other caravans that don't go into the upper city can have some?"

Qian Feng leaned closer and whispered, "They can't possibly have it, and even if they did, it wouldn't be of any use. The supplies on the commercial order are Haiying's eyes."

"The eyes of a sea eagle must be in pairs and must be taken from the same sea eagle. They cannot be randomly combined. A pair of eyes is priceless, while a single eye is like scrap metal. I only have one left."

"I just can't understand which bastard would steal like this. Even if he stole one, it wouldn't be worth much!"

"I guess I ran into a newbie. What bad luck."

As Qian Feng finished explaining, he couldn't help but curse a few times. He never imagined that anyone could steal this thing!

After listening to the other party's introduction, Chen Bei had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

But are there really any novice thieves in District D?

This item is indeed difficult to sell if stolen, but the fact that it cannot be sold also means that the risk of being exposed is small.

If the other party isn't trying to monetize their money, why would they do something like this?

Who will be most affected by this in the end?

A caravan?

Thief?

Is it Shangcheng District?

No, the one most affected was Chen Bei.

The arrival time of the caravan in the upper city, the return date and time, and the cargo manifest were all matched with the receiving station in the upper city.

Otherwise, with 103 cities transporting supplies to the upper city every day without any rules, no matter how advanced the technology, loopholes will be exploited.

Now that the Red Fang Caravan has lost something, they have to look for it again. If the dates don't match, they will definitely ask the other party for the reason. They know that it was lost in the 103rd district. So who should take the blame?

This is different from the caravans Chen Bei robbed before. Chen Bei robbed people who didn't have access to the upper city. It seems someone is trying to cause trouble for him during the patrol day!

Chen Bei is a little worried about whether Gu Mengyao can handle it, but fortunately he will only be gone for two days.

"You've only lost one eye; you still have the other one, right?"

After gently shaking his head to clear his mind, Chen Bei asked.

They followed Qian Feng toward the Red Tooth Caravan's wagons. The wagons looked the same as horse-drawn carriages, but their cargo space was quite different.

Using space and compression technology, a carriage-sized transport vehicle can carry hundreds of items and dozens of people.

Moreover, the horses in front are composed of electromechanical components, tireless day and night, and adaptable to various terrains.

"This is it, there's only one left."

Qian Feng took out a sea eagle eyeball, light blue, like it was wearing blue contact lenses.

In an instant, double images reappeared in Chen Bei's eyes, and countless dense white dots surged toward Eagle Eye.
