The fat-faced cat wiggled its fleshy jowls and sprinted off the starting line!

It unleashed the power of a wild beast!

It took several large steps forward, arching its back like a thick bridge pier, and braced itself firmly against the black wall of the garbage disposal plant.

"San Pang!"

San Pang heard the call and leaped up, stepping onto the fat-faced cat's shoulders.

"A Zhuang!"

A Zhuang climbed upward, stepping onto San Pang's shoulders, and supported himself against the wall.

"Er Zhu Zi!"

Slender as a bird, swift as lightning! Er Zhu Zi, as if skilled in ninjutsu, nimbly ascended, forming the final link of the human pillar!

Lin Xian was amazed.

Although he had seen this "combination technique" once last night, there were too many new things around at the time, and his eyes were too busy to calm down and properly appreciate this art of the human body.

Having watched the entire process of the combination today, he truly felt a sense of "I'll form the head!"

"Ning Ning, jump first! Hurry!"

The fat-faced cat bore the full weight, its whole body tensed, its face flushed red.

CC, wearing an Ultraman mask, looked at Lin Xian.

Lin Xian nodded.

She leaped out, like a flying swallow, and with a few light jumps, she reached Er Zhu Zi's shoulders. Then, like a cat, she crouched, tensed, and executed a long, stretching jump! With the help of her hands and feet, she successfully scaled the eight-meter-high wall of the garbage plant.

"Lin Xian, it's your turn!"

The fat-faced cat continued to issue commands.

Lin Xian took two steps back and began his accelerating run-up!

Parkour skills are different from CC's soft style of kung fu. They rely on a burst of energy, where great strength creates miracles.

Charge!

Ultimate explosive force!

Like climbing a cloud ladder, he used the momentum to climb onto Er Zhu Zi's shoulders, and then with a second jump, he grabbed the cracks in the wall, using his fingertips to exert force and successfully vault over!

Thud.

Safe landing.

Lin Xian looked around. Just like yesterday, it was still filled with old sofas and furniture.

Looking into the distance at the tall, steel wall... The heavy, massive steel gate was tightly closed. There were no garbage trucks in the garbage disposal plant, and it was very quiet.

It seemed it wasn't yet the time for the garbage trucks to return with their loads.

Yesterday, Lin Xian had confirmed while crawling forward that there were no drivers in those garbage trucks. All the vehicles' movements and trajectories were carried out automatically according to pre-set programs.

After unloading their garbage, they would immediately turn around and return to Xin Dong Hai City through the steel gate, continuing to transport garbage.

So, it seemed...

The automatic intelligence of Xin Dong Hai City was very high. Perhaps many things had been replaced by robots, AI, and automated equipment.

Therefore, Xin Dong Hai City shouldn't need too many low-level laborers... After all, service industries, transportation, and most daily tasks could be replaced by robots.

Of course, this was just Lin Xian's guess.

He didn't know the specific situation in Xin Dong Hai City. He could only wait until he managed to sneak in one day to broaden his horizons.

"Quick, hide! A drone is coming."

CC grabbed Lin Xian and ran towards the shelter behind a nearby pile of garbage.

Buzz...

Buzz...

Just 10 seconds after the two left, a surveillance drone roared overhead, taking in the situation within a 20-meter radius.

But by this time, Lin Xian and CC had already hidden outside the 20-meter blind spot and were not detected.

Lin Xian looked at his watch.

00:05

"There's still plenty of time."

He turned his head and looked at the monitoring room in the middle of the garbage disposal plant. There was no one inside.

According to his experience yesterday...

The monitor wearing "Bluetooth headphones" would probably come over around 00:20 and sit in the monitoring room, grinning foolishly.

"We should lie in wait in advance where the garbage trucks unload the safes, so we can save a lot of time."

Lin Xian pointed to an open space in the distance.

"It should be in that area. Around 00:25, a team of garbage trucks will drive out of the steel gate, and the one that unloads its cargo there will be carrying the hafnium alloy safe we're looking for."

"How do you know so much?" CC asked in surprise.

"The unloading positions of these garbage trucks are calculated in real-time, and there is no set route. They will scan the existing site and then calculate the position for tipping the garbage... It's not pre-set."

"That doesn't matter, don't worry about it. Just trust me. We're all in the same boat. Why would I lie to you?"

Lin Xian was too lazy to explain to CC. The dream was only a few tens of minutes away from ending. He had been arguing with CC and the fat-faced cat every day for the past few days, and it was really tiring...

"In short, you can't go wrong trusting me. Let's hurry over there."

"All the robots here are blind, and the new supervisor won't be wandering over until around 00:20. We're absolutely safe before then, so we can run straight over without hiding."

Lin Xian had already planned these routes before entering the dream.

If they waited until the garbage truck unloaded its garbage and then crawled forward, hiding and dodging to get close to the safe, there definitely wouldn't be enough time.

Just like in the last dream, by the time he and CC were near the safe, it was almost 00:42, and the white light would directly destroy everything, without even touching the safe.

So, they had to run over in advance to scout out the location in order to have enough time to try the password and open the safe.

Whoosh—whoosh—

Outside the wall, a rapid bird call suddenly came.

Lin Xian looked at the whistle in his hand. The fat-faced cat had given it to him earlier, telling him that as long as he heard the whistle, he should retreat immediately, no matter what the situation.

"I guess that girl named Li Ningning woke up," CC said.

"I guess so too."

Lin Xian wasn't surprised. He had already experienced this once.

He put the whistle in his mouth and blew it hard, as a response to the fat-faced cat, telling them to retreat quickly.

"What exactly did you do to Li Ningning?"

Lin Xian was very curious, looking at CC.

He remembered that CC had a gun. Last time he entered the dream, she even held it to his head. But if Li Ningning had been shot... How could she still have crawled over to inform the fat-faced cat and the others?

"I didn't do anything, just used this."

CC took out a small pistol from her pocket.

This pistol was very small... Only half the size of a regular pistol.

And it looked very low quality, not like a pistol at all, more like a toy gun.

"What is this?"

"A veterinary tranquilizer gun?"

Lin Xian looked up at CC.

"This thing sounds even more cruel than a pistol."

"How is that possible?"

CC turned the veterinary tranquilizer gun upside down to show Lin Xian some details.

"These things are used by veterinarians to treat livestock. The dosage is not large, but it still has a very strong anesthetic effect on people... The dose I used on Li Ningning was very small, not enough to cause unconsciousness, just general weakness."

"This thing has no bullets and no range. It's actually just an anesthetic injector, not as dangerous as you think."

"Okay."

Lin Xian calmly accepted this setting.

It seemed that in this second dream, CC didn't have the ability to get a normal gun, and her combat power was greatly weakened.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

Even a figure like Li Cheng couldn't get a gun, let alone CC?

"Run over there quickly. The new supervisor is coming soon. We won't be able to run past then."

Lin Xian and CC got up and swaggered toward the open space opposite them. Their target was the shelter behind the garbage pile next to the open space.

Now, Lin Xian had completely figured out the entire plot and timeline of this Garbage Plant Operation:

Around 23:00, the fat-faced cat and his group set off from Li Cheng's house and began the operation.

Around 23:20, they arrived at the first position, the small hill, and began deployment. After the deployment was completed, the group sneaked into the bushes and ran forward, aiming for the garbage plant wall.

Around 23:25, CC, lurking behind the group, used a veterinary tranquilizer gun to anesthetize Li Ningning, then put on Li Ningning's Ultraman mask, performing a switch.

00:00, the supervisor of the garbage disposal plant left the control room to change shifts and complete the relevant handover procedures, which would take about 20 minutes.

00:04, the first blind spot appeared, and Lin Xian and CC climbed over the wall into the garbage disposal plant.

00:13, Li Ningning, whose anesthetic effect had worn off, found the fat-faced cat. The fat-faced cat discovered that Ningning had been replaced and quickly blew the whistle to warn Lin Xian of danger, telling him to retreat quickly.

00:20, the new supervisor appeared with "Bluetooth headphones" and sat in the control room, grinning foolishly.

00:25, the steel gate opened, and a team of garbage trucks drove out from inside, one of which was carrying many hafnium alloy safes.

00:28, the garbage truck automatically navigated to the unloading point and began to pour out the garbage, dumping the hafnium alloy safes in the open space, waiting to be processed.

…

The complete plot was like this. No matter how many cycles, these things in the dream would not change unless he intentionally interfered.

But the only people he could interfere with were the fat-faced cat and CC. The automated garbage trucks and the supervisor who changed shifts at a fixed time were beyond his control.

While thinking, the two had already run to the shelter at the target location and hid.

According to Lin Xian's memory, the open space in front of them was where the hafnium alloy safes would be unloaded later.

At most...

The unloading time was 00:28, and the time of the white light destroying the dream was 00:42, leaving only 14 minutes.

The time left for Lin Xian and CC to open the safe was really short.

Rumble—

Behind them, the steel gate of the tall wall rumbled open.

One by one, fully loaded garbage trucks drove out of the high wall, heading to their respective destinations according to their respective navigations.

Finally.

A wheezing garbage truck drove to the open space in front of the two.

Turning, reversing, adjusting its position.

The sound of the bearing engaging, the huge tipper in the back slowly rising.

Clang clang clang clang!

Clang clang clang clang!

Dozens of shiny, square, brand-new hafnium alloy safes crashed down, falling crookedly in the open space in front of them.

These safes had eight embedded combination wheels made of the same material, and above the combination wheels, there was a silver nameplate.

On it...

Were engraved long and short names.
