"Thanks."

Lin Xian didn't refuse. He carefully accepted the small peace pouch, put it in his inside pocket, and smiled.

"Is there anything you want, Ningning? Maybe one day when I get out of Neo Hai City, I can bring you a gift."

"I don't care," Li Ningning said with a nonchalant smile.

"I just want to blow up this city."

"Got it," Lin Xian silently noted.

He looked up.

He found CC with her arms crossed, wearing an Ultraman mask, the eyeholes revealing an auntie-like smile.

"What?"

"Nothing," CC said, lowering her head and smiling, looking away.

"I just think... you're quite popular with girls."

"Stop talking nonsense and focus! The monitoring blind spot is coming up!" Da Lian Mao barked, and everyone quieted down.

He tensed his body, watching the drone gradually approaching and then moving away in the sky...

"Now!"

"A'Zhuang! San Pang! Er Zhu Zi!"

With Er Zhu Zi's nimble spins and jumps, the human pillar force completed the final link, and the human ladder was erected!

"Hurry up and climb over, you two! Be careful! Be careful of the supervisors!"

Da Lian Mao shouted, his face flushed.

CC and Lin Xian exchanged a glance, nodded, and climbed up the human ladder one after the other, jumping in—

Thud. Thud.

Two muffled sounds.

The two landed safely on a pile of broken furniture and debris.

Then they immediately ran towards a shelter 20 meters away, dodging the drone's monitoring range.

"Safe."

Lin Xian poked his head out and glanced at the monitor in the monitoring room. There was nothing unusual. Because the garbage plant was very noisy, the sound of their landing was drowned out.

He picked up the whistle in his mouth and blew it a few times.

Shhh—shhh, shhh——

Da Lian Mao's side quickly responded.

After sending Lin Xian and CC into the 221 garbage plant, they would leave to steal books from the 314 garbage plant.

"You're really good."

CC looked Lin Xian up and down. It was hard to imagine that such leopard-like speed and agility would appear on such a man.

"Actually, my marksmanship is better," Lin Xian replied truthfully.

"It's a pity that I can't get a gun here, so I can't show off."

"I do have a veterinary tranquilizer gun, but it can't be fired. It can only be injected into the skin."

"Let's keep it for now. It's our only weapon."

Boom————

While the two were talking, the steel gate on the high wall opened...

One after another, fully loaded garbage trucks drove out.

"This is the batch of garbage trucks."

CC clipped the Bluetooth headset-like device to her ear and checked again.

"After they dump the garbage, they will set off again at 21:11 to continue transporting garbage to Neo Hai City. They will basically pass by Time Bank. We can just find any one of them."

She pointed to the garbage truck unloading closest to them.

"Let's take this one. It's very close to us, and there's no risk in sneaking in."

Lin Xian glanced at the supervisor in the monitoring room in the middle of the garbage plant. He was very distracted and didn't notice the movement here.

"Let's go!"

With an order, the two crawled forward in the garbage mountain, constantly jumping between shelters, and finally successfully reached the target garbage truck.

These garbage trucks were very large, so the gaps between each part were also very large.

Especially the front of the tipper, there was a lot of space, but if you wanted to hide two people, it was still very crowded. You needed to stack them up to hide them all.

"You go in first," Lin Xian pointed to the gap.

"I'm on the bottom?" CC asked.

"Do you like being on top?" Lin Xian was puzzled.

"This isn't a matter of liking being on top or bottom..." CC picked up the Bluetooth headset-like device and explained.

"This thing requires a certain amount of space when in use. I must ensure a gap of twenty or thirty centimeters in front of me so that it can be used normally. Otherwise, how can I see the light screen to crack the password? So, it's better for me to be on top."

"Oh, these little things..." Lin Xian urged.

"You go in first, and we'll adjust our positions when we get in. Hurry up, the garbage truck will leave in a while."

CC put away the device, climbed up, and crouched in the gap.

Lin Xian followed closely and jumped in, squeezing next to CC, but he was too tall, and there was obviously not enough room to curl up. Helpless, he could only support his body with both hands, in a half-suspended state.

"Are you... comfortable like this?"

CC looked up, looking at the distorted Lin Xian so close.

"Do you think I'm comfortable?"

"If it really doesn't work, just press down."

"Ah... forget it, I'm pretty good at push-ups."

...

Not long after.

The garbage truck's motor started and began to move slowly.

Lin Xian then realized that all the garbage trucks here were no longer fuel-powered and didn't have the vibration of an internal combustion engine at all.

But if it was purely electric... how could this thing run non-stop 24 hours a day?

It should be using new clean energy.

Lin Xian quietly raised his head.

He could still see the direction of the garbage truck from the gaps on the side.

The target was the steel gate in front.

Boom————

As the garbage truck convoy approached, the steel gate rose rumblingly, and the garbage truck entered a slowly ascending slope, continuing to move forward.

Looking at the garbage trucks moving forward in order, Lin Xian clenched his fists.

He was finally getting closer and closer to the truth.

Beep beep.

The device on CC's ear made two light sounds.

"Connected."

Her eyes stayed on the air twenty or thirty centimeters in front of her, her eyeballs moving up and down, left and right, very intensely.

"Are you cracking the security gate's password?"

"Yes."

CC's eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking like it wasn't easy.

"Damn, this password gate is using dynamic keys... each car is different!"

Boom!

Lin Xian glanced at the security gate in front. After the first garbage truck in the queue went in, the security gate closed again, and the probe on both sides of the device stretched out, scanning the second garbage truck.

That should be the living body detection process CC was talking about.

The garbage truck they were in was fifth in line, neither in front nor in back. But the scanning of the living body detection was very fast. Just during Lin Xian's observation, the security gate opened again.

At this speed...

It was estimated that their garbage truck would be scanned in a minute!

"How's your cracking going?"

"Still cracking... these dynamic keys seem to be related to the number of each car. I need to access the database again." Sweat had already broken out on CC's forehead.

"Doesn't that mean there's no progress at all?" Lin Xian was also stunned.

"Don't be noisy!" CC's eyeballs were flying up and down, her operations were very busy.

Another car passed...

Another car passed...

Their garbage truck finally drove to the front of the security gate.

"Okay!" CC shouted in time.

Lin Xian poked his head out and saw that the detection devices on both sides were stuck there like they were out of power, and the security gate in front of him was rising rumblingly.

"Not bad." Lin Xian gave CC a thumbs up.

"You are a real expert."

CC also took off the device on her ear, sat up in the narrow space, and looked at the front of the garbage truck.

Obviously, this passage was specially for garbage trucks and there were no other vehicles.

After driving for about ten minutes, the space suddenly opened up.

But this still didn't count as entering the urban area. It was just an open space. There were no extra buildings or pedestrians. The garbage trucks were neatly lined up in order, like they were waiting for inspection. In the distance, two uniformed staff members walked out of the room.

One man and one woman, chatting and laughing.

Lin Xian also noticed... their uniforms were completely different from the workers in the garbage plant below, much more advanced, and they also had guns at their waists.

"Why is there a manual inspection?"

Lin Xian looked at CC.

"Isn't that written in your work plan?"

CC shook her head.

"It seems that the management of the external garbage plant and the city are two different systems... What should we do now?"

Lin Xian poked his head out again, carefully observing.

The man and woman were probably like "entry inspectors." The two of them chatted while inspecting the neatly parked garbage trucks one by one.

The surrounding lights illuminated the entire open space as bright as day. Even so, the two of them each held a lighting device, and the intense light went back and forth inside the garbage truck.

"It seems we can't hide."

This was somewhat different from Lin Xian's original plan.

He originally thought he could hitch a ride directly to Time Bank.

But obviously, this Neo Hai City was not as loosely managed as he thought... the outer garbage plants below were just a facade.

"We must save ourselves."

Lin Xian looked at the veterinary tranquilizer gun that CC raised and shook his head.

"This thing of yours is too slow to take effect and it's not fatal... They have real guns, so forget about your toy gun."

"Then what's your plan?" CC looked at Lin Xian.

"We can't just sit and wait for death."

"It must be a fatal blow," Lin Xian rubbed his neck.

"This is the situation now. They have guns, and we can't escape. Right now, they seem very frivolous and relaxed, and probably don't have any sense of crisis... This is our chance to ambush them by surprise."

"If we succeed, we can not only take their weapons and equipment, but also change into their uniforms and sneak into Neo Hai City."

"What if we fail?" CC looked at Lin Xian, feeling that this plan was too risky.

"If we fail, we'll just come again tomorrow. It's no big deal." Lin Xian looked at CC with a smile, without any sense of tension.

"Do you have a knife or dagger or something?"

CC nodded and took out a sharp dagger from behind her waist.

"Is there any more? One might not be enough. There are two of them."

CC stretched out her finger, pulled open the red string on her hair... The smooth hair with the fragrance of camellias spread out, and she had another small dagger in her hand.

"Are you Dora CC?"

"What's that?"

"Forget it, it's not important."

Lin Xian reached out and took the normal dagger, leaving the small one to CC.

"The man always checks from the left side of the vehicle, and the woman checks from the right side. We'll ambush them in the blind spot of the front of the car. I'll kill the man, and you'll kill the woman. It must be fast! A fatal blow to the neck!"

"Okay."

CC didn't hesitate. She took the dagger and stuck to the blind spot of the front of the car.

Lin Xian wasn't worried about CC at all.

She was originally a heartless female demon. In the first dream realm, Da Lian Mao's head exploded non-stop like the balloons at a shooting range in the park.

He didn't need to worry about his side even more.

Although after he got older, he did very little illegal and criminal things in the dream realm... but he still hadn't lost the nature of a "Five-Star Good Citizen" when he was young. Whether it was marksmanship or dagger combos, they were still mature.

"Is that so... Director Liu has such things..."

"That's right. I saw it last time when his office door wasn't closed..."

The voices of the inspector couple were getting closer and closer. The two were chatting about gossip very happily.

When they came to the front of the garbage truck, the two separated to the left and right.

The beam of light jumped back and forth, and the voices of the two talking were also raised so that the opposite side of the vehicle could hear.

"It's not good if this gets out. Isn't he preparing to be promoted this time?"

"How can this be hidden... If one person knows, everyone knows."

The sound of talking and the light source were close at hand.

A right-angle bend away!

"Oof!" "Pfft——"

The sound of the two people's mouths and noses being covered!

Lin Xian and CC waited for a long time, only waiting for the moment they crossed the line!

They quickly blocked their necks and violently slid the dagger across their carotid arteries!

At the same time, their right legs pressed against their waists to prevent them from drawing their guns!

Two pillars of blood spurted out, hitting the side of the garbage truck and forming a cyberpunk graffiti.

The man in Lin Xian's arms was still struggling... but as the blood flowed, he gradually became weak and eventually fell silent.

"How's it going on your side, CC?"

"No movement."

Lin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

The long-lost Five-Star Good Citizen of Los Angeles felt like he was back.

"These people are probably used to being lax, and never thought that anyone would dare to sneak into Neo Hai City."

"Yeah... after all, no one has dared to come in for hundreds of years, not to mention there's a living body detection security gate in front. Ordinary people can't get in."

CC bent down and looked at Lin Xian through the gap in the vehicle.

"So what do we do next? Are we going to change into their clothes and sneak into Neo Hai City?"

"That's right."

Lin Xian drew a gun from the male inspector's waist, cocked it with a click, and a sense of security instantly came over him.

He turned his head and looked at the towering neon skyscraper separated by a wall.

"It's time... to make a big fuss."
