Chapter 264: I Feel Like I've Been Trapped

Zhang Lu left the school alone after explaining what happened to his teammates, and he followed Qiao Yun's address all the way to a controlled area on the outskirts of the imperial capital.

As soon as he entered the control area, someone immediately stood up and stopped Zhang Lu.

These people are wearing camouflage uniforms, and the level of the beast master is between level fifty and seventy, and their strength is not weak.

They obviously knew Zhang Lu, but out of duty, they still said what they had said countless times.

"Mr. Zhang Lu, this is a controlled area, please show your ID, if you don't have access rights, please go back!"

Zhang Lu took out his documents, and only after several confirmations from them did they retreat.

"Sir Zhang Lu, please go this way, we have prepared a vehicle for you!"

In fact, they had already received the news that Zhang Lu was coming, but the rule here is that both people and documents must be complete, and even people they know cannot be put in without documents.

It's just that Zhang Lu is a little curious why these people also call themselves chiefs, anyway, it can't be because of the third-level investigators, they are not in the same system as the investigators.

As for his position in the Fifth District, it is called Inspection Consultant, and I don't know what level of position it is.

The soldiers did not take Zhang Lu to the main road, but walked into the woods next to him, explaining to him as they went.

"Chief Zhang Lu, we can't walk on the main road here at will, and in the end it leads to only a camouflage base, if you want to go to the real base, you need to walk from this path, if we don't lead the way in the future, just follow today's route."

He pulled out the weeds that covered the road and walked deeper, and the miraculous thing was that after Zhang Lu walked over, the weeds behind him covered back again, and there was no appearance of anyone passing by at all.

The deeper you go, the denser the woods become, even to the point where sunlight can't penetrate them.

After walking for about ten minutes, a dark road suddenly appeared in front of them, which could only lead to two vehicles, and was covered by a canopy of trees, so that it was impossible to see the road from the air.

And on the road there is a military vehicle waiting.

The soldier who led the way saluted Zhang Lu and said, "Sir Zhang Lu, my mission has been completed, please get in the car!" ”

Zhang Lu didn't think much about it, walked to the side of the military vehicle, pulled the car door and sat down.

When he got into the car, he saw that there was only one driver in the car, who had a bald head and a cigarette in his mouth, and was spitting smoke on the car!

"Zhang Lu?"

He turned his head to look at Zhang Lu after seeing Zhang Lu come up, and then grinned, and two rows of teeth that had become charred from long-term smoking were exposed.

"Get to know, my name is Tie Shan, not a code name, my surname is Tie Ming Mountain!"

"Don't you think those who look at the gate are a little too boring? You know the rules and regulations every day, and if you get along with them for a long time, you will definitely find them annoying! ”

He said that he didn't like to follow the rules, but his eyes looked at the end of the road with some fear, and then he snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand with his bare hands and flicked it into the woods.

"My mission today is to familiarize you with the base of this Fifth District, the control area here is obviously part of the Second District, but it is actually the territory of our Fifth District!"

"Oh, by the way, you're the commander of this entire base!"

He said something with a calm face that surprised Zhang Lu.

"Me? This base? ”

"That's right! Don't you know? We belong to the Special Investigation Unit of the Fifth District, which has bases in all the major cities of the Federation, and the officers of these bases are inspectors, codenamed Golden Pupil. ”

"And there is no inspector in our base in the imperial capital, only you, the inspection consultant, so of course you are the commander of this base!"

Zhang Lu didn't expect to get such an answer, he originally thought that he was just a person who came with a mission and had nothing to do with him if he didn't have a task, but now it seems that he is still responsible for the base of the imperial capital?

He felt like he had been cheated by someone!

As if sensing Zhang Lu's dissatisfaction, Tie Shan grinned and said, "Don't worry, there is also a commissioner in this base, he is not a member of the base in name, and it was the above that considered that you may not be very familiar with the management of the base, so he was sent to assist you in management." ”

"This is a ruthless character, he used to be the base chief of the Federation's external exploration base, and this time he was transferred back as a commissioner from above, as long as you feel that everything is on the right track in the base and you don't need him, he will be transferred back."

It is certainly not easy to be the base leader of the Federation's external exploration bases, these bases are all set up in the territory of wild beasts outside the Federation, and those places are full of man-eating beasts and high-level beasts.

Someone who can manage an entire base in that kind of place must be ruthless.

Along the way, Tie Shan kept telling him about the things in the base, such as how many people are in the base, who is more difficult to manage, and so on.

In the midst of his chatter, Iron Mountain suddenly slammed on the brakes and poked his head out of the window.

"Hey, open the door, I'm here with our chief, why don't you hurry up and greet you?!"

In the midst of his shouting, the otherwise unremarkable ground in front of them suddenly began to pull apart in both directions, revealing a passage downward.

Iron Mountain then retracted his head into the car, drove through the passage, and stopped on a metal platform.

Then the passage was closed again, and the platforms on both sides lit up with light, and the sound of "click" was endless, and the platform was actually sinking!

After sinking for a while, Zhang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up!

It's a huge underground base!

Zhang Lu looked down from above, the ground and walls of the base were all made of metal, and there was a huge metal column in the middle of the base supporting the ceiling.

There were people coming and going everywhere, roughly estimated to be close to a thousand.

And these people are all beast masters!

One by one, the beasts pushed carts back and forth, and they returned immediately after delivering their things to the target location, and everyone was very busy.

There are buildings in the distance, and through the windows, you can see that there are still people working in these offices.

The Federation wants to hand over such a huge base to its own management?

He felt more and more like he was being trapped.

When the platform was lowered to the bottom, Iron Mountain jumped out of the car.

There were two people waiting for them next to the platform, one was Qiao Yun, whom Zhang Lu had seen before, and there was a relatively short man.

After seeing the two of them, Tie Shan lowered his head and complained to Zhang Lu: "Do you see that short one?" He's the hardest monkey I'm talking about! ”
