It seemed that the review was mainly aimed at ordinary people, and was much more lenient towards personnel within the Federation system.

Soon after, Su Mo left the spaceport and appeared on a street lined with skyscrapers.

The scene before him made the corners of Su Mo's mouth twitch uncontrollably. Looking down the street, he could see at least twenty fully armed soldiers, as well as patrolling armored vehicles and mecha.

To make matters worse, there were also miniature drones constantly patrolling the sky above the entire street.

These drones were scanning all passersby, identifying any suspicious objects on them, and constantly matching their faces and identifying their identities.

At that moment, a miniature drone landed directly in front of Su Mo, its camera scanning him directly.

Su Mo's mouth twitched incessantly. He had an inexplicable urge to punch the thing down, but reason prevailed.

If he really did that, he'd be arrested.

But speaking of which...

Then Su Mo hung up the communication and walked towards the taxi speeder parked on the street.

As soon as Su Mo got into the taxi speeder, a text message popped up from Lin Zinuo, giving him an address.

Su Mo said to the driver, an uncle, "Go to 233 Colin Road, Peter's Restaurant."

"Okay."

The driver replied enthusiastically.

Su Mo then took a good look at this city, which was known as the most prosperous and free city in the world. From an architectural point of view, it certainly lived up to its name.

All along the way, all he could see were towering buildings.

However, the security was a bit abnormal, with patrolling soldiers everywhere, almost one every ten steps.

All the pedestrians on the road were well-dressed elites, and there wasn't even a single person dressed in a hip-hop style.

Su Mo curiously asked the driver, "Uncle, what's going on? Why are there so many patrolling soldiers?"

"You're new to the City of Freedom, aren't you? Let me tell you, you've come at the wrong time. Now it's not just the City of Freedom, the entire M District has implemented special military control, and all areas have been taken over by regular troops. There are patrolling soldiers everywhere. All bars and entertainment venues have been ordered to close, and there's even a curfew at night."

The uncle explained with a smile.

"A curfew here? Wouldn't that cause an uproar? Isn't this place supposed to value freedom?"

Su Mo asked in shock.

"Cause an uproar? Who would dare? Let me tell you, you don't even have to cause trouble. As long as you have a criminal record, just taking a stroll on the street will get you arrested and locked up for a few days, haha!"

The uncle said with a laugh.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration. By the way, uncle, where is the Federal Administrative Council Building located?"

Su Mo replied with a twitch of his mouth.

"It's right in the middle of the City of Freedom. You'll be able to see it from a distance if you look to the right later. By the way, don't think about going there to take pictures or check in. The closer you get to the city center, the stricter the control is. You'll be arrested before you even turn on your camera."

"That strict? How do you get in to do business?"

"Get in to do business? You're thinking too much. They don't let anyone in there now. Even if there are officials who go in, they're called in from the inside. Don't be stupid."

The uncle quickly reminded Su Mo.

"Okay, thanks."

Su Mo felt even more pained. He never expected things to be like this here.

Now it was troublesome. The problem was that he had to go in and see the Chairman of the Council as soon as possible to cash the check. If he was too late, the guy would run out of money.

Where would he get the money to pay him? He couldn't exactly sue the federal government, could he?

A moment later, the speeder drove to the entrance of Peter's Restaurant.

Before he even got out of the car, Su Mo saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the restaurant. Lin Zinuo was wearing a blue, form-fitting dress with some blue floral patterns on the skirt. Her long, black hair was loose, and she was carrying a small blue bag. She looked very gentle and elegant.

Su Mo opened the car door and walked over, waving to Lin Zinuo with a smile.

"Hi!"

When Lin Zinuo saw Su Mo, she strode towards him.

Su Mo felt a bit emotional for a moment, not expecting to see her again in a foreign country.

Lin Zinuo walked up to Su Mo and suddenly flashed a brilliant smile. "It's been so long, and you're still as handsome as ever, haha!"

"Stop it, okay?"

Su Mo also laughed. She was still the same as before.

Immediately after, Lin Zinuo looked at the clothes Su Mo was wearing, wrinkled her cute nose, leaned close to Su Mo's face, and asked, "Honestly, do you have a girlfriend?"

Su Mo couldn't help but take a step back and replied somewhat awkwardly, "Yes."

"Honestly, is it Sister Xue?"

"You already knew?"

Su Mo was also a little surprised.

Lin Zinuo sighed, then raised her head and complained to Su Mo, "Do you think I'm blind? Everyone in the group is talking about it every day. How could I not know?"

"Uh, this..."

"Honestly, did you come to the guild for Sister Xue? I knew you were up to something. No wonder it was no use no matter how I chased after you. So you had been plotting this all along."

Lin Zinuo complained to Su Mo.

"No way. Feelings like this depend on fate."

Su Mo said with a twitch of his mouth.

When Lin Zinuo heard the word "fate," she immediately got angry. She directly raised her hand, hooked Su Mo's neck hard, and said angrily, "Oh, you mean I'm not fated for you?"

"That's not what I meant. Don't we have a great 'ape-like' fate? Aren't we tighter than blood brothers?"

Su Mo explained with a black line on his face.

"Who wants that kind of fate?"

Lin Zinuo became even more annoyed.

"Okay, stop it. Everyone's looking at us. It won't be good if we attract the patrolling soldiers."

Su Mo hurriedly persuaded her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When Lin Zinuo heard what Su Mo said, she let go of him and said in an annoyed tone, "You're really the most annoying."

"Haha, don't say that. It's not easy for me to come to M District. Shouldn't you, as the host, treat me to a meal?"

Su Mo replied with a smile.

"No problem. I'll treat you to a big meal. Let's go in."

Lin Zinuo said in a good mood.

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

After Su Mo finished speaking, he and Lin Zinuo walked into the restaurant.
