National Juggernaut

Chapter 591 Prey
The cumbersome division of labor in modern society has created countless enterprises and organizations. While specialized production and management have brought high efficiency and low cost, it has also made "no one can do everything" a reality.

Even the officials of Shiqiancheng can't do all the work. A lot of daily business and public affairs are subcontracted to various enterprises and organizations, not to mention the "Atel people" who have no roots here.

They can set up a company here, they can form a team here, but it is impossible to build a full set of services including transportation, research and development, intelligence and many other matters.

In the end, through commercial control, some local enterprises are held in hands and used in a foolish way.

The advantage is that it is low-cost and relatively low-key, and the disadvantage is that it is quite untrustworthy. In the context of the war between the Atels and humans, most employees find that when they serve the Atels, the so-called entrepreneurial spirit And loyalty will come to naught.

The local assets of Atel people are depreciating at a high speed, many companies and shares have been sold at low prices, and many companies that have always been in their hands have also been "inquired" by relevant departments.

Not to mention fair competition and commercial freedom. When two races and forces wager life-and-death wars, choosing neutrality is equivalent to betraying one’s own race. Capital may not have races, but those who control capital have. Of course, there are always people Unclear, or really believe in the saying that "money is omnipotent and capital is free", believe that you will not become the winner and enjoy the "snack" after the "big meal", and believe in the restraint of the greedy under unlimited conditions .

This time, the crackdown was surprisingly effective. Many companies with "Atel people" background were reported, and a large number of employees turned against the water. With the cooperation of internal personnel and external cooperation, "Yuanan Freight" became the most important breakthrough. point.

There are four permanent fleets, and two fleets rotate long-distance freight. The total assets exceed [-] large trucks. The scale of this enterprise is not small, but Zheng Li has never heard of it, nor has he seen it advertised. That in itself says a lot.

It is a "transportation" company with a gray background, specializing in some high-profit transportation jobs. Obviously, long-term high profits equal high risks and contraband, which roughly equals that there are people behind it who can handle some checkpoints.

And the director of the Transportation Bureau who was the umbrella behind the scenes was "invited" to drink tea in the small black room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He still couldn't tell what the "Yuan'an Freight" was transporting. He only knew that they were very generous with the money. The points are packed in sacks.

It seems that this time the director doesn't have to think about getting out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. But the focus now is on the two missing convoys and their possible whereabouts.

"Their company's internal announcement didn't say anything?"

"There was no announcement, and there was no description of the route and the reference time and type of freight as in the internal regulations. They set off suddenly. Some of the parties involved were planning to go on vacation and temporarily canceled the trip. Judging from the time of cancellation, it was 08:30 on the same day. We were notified at [-] and set off at nine o'clock."

Notify all freight related parties half an hour in advance, and the surprise departure is rare for the gray business scope of the transportation company, but it is not uncommon.

At this time, the task force is no longer looking forward to the results of formal inquiries, and the family members of those transportation personnel may not know their whereabouts. The development of the facts has proved their expectations, but the clues have not been broken. Veteran They know who to ask when necessary.

Indeed, including the arrested mixed-race Atel boss, they didn't know the specific route of the convoy, or even how they got out of the city, but since they dared to intervene in the gray industry, how could those participants not stay behind.

"More than 60 tracking items and tokens? It's really exaggerated."

"That's not all. The convoy set off with 300 large vehicles. At least 100 people were missing. It's normal to have more than [-] tracking tokens."

Aren't the family members worried that those who make money at home have gone out to engage in "grey industries"?What to worry about is probably not only the disasters and herds outside, but the deadliest thing may be the killing of "above".

All kinds of "life-saving and message-sending" devices are considered permanent devices. Many people will leave a message every time they leave. If they haven't shown up for a long time, they will open a certain box/a certain letter.

Some people even directly told their family members that when their "light of life" goes out, they should go to the police these days. No one is stupid. They work on the edge of the law to make more money. Look forward to the company's credit.

No, when the commissioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs found the family members and informed them that the situation was not good, a bunch of credit devices for "tracking, calling the police, communicating, and guiding" were confiscated.

After preliminary sorting, there are more than 30 types and more than 60 types, some of which have completely failed, but some things cannot be stopped across time and the world.

For example, a kind of tracking incense, which is colorless, odorless, or even has no form. Naturally, it has no spiritual response, and only a specific artificial alchemy magic bee can track and find it. Although this method is very old-fashioned, it is indeed quite effective. You can't let it Your subordinates help you dart naked, a small sachet/talisman can leave traces along the way.

As time went by, more evidence was presented, and as the panic spread, more and more family members believed what the Ministry of Internal Affairs said.

Or at a certain point in time, I will notice that something is wrong, for example, the life lamp that "symbolizes the strength of life" starts to go out, and more "tokens" that guide the direction will be sent.

The other side of the sword master of the whole people is that there are too many folk "R&D personnel" in this world, and there are all kinds of reliable or unreliable gadgets. Many gadgets are orphans and rare items that cannot be verified for their efficacy and functions. Although the efficacy is basically not strong, but there are so many types that it is basically impossible to prevent and distinguish them.

At this point, no one would expect those transportation personnel to come back alive. Since the other party took the risk of using the secret passage, they had no intention of letting others go back alive.

"It's been almost a hundred hours and it's still within the range of pursuit!"

When this conclusion was confirmed, in an instant, the entire task force boiled.

Three or four days' drive may seem like a long way, but the speed of the freight transport fleet depends on the slowest car.

To maintain the safety and stability of the convoy during long-distance travel, it is necessary to maintain a relatively uniform and slow speed, and if there is no excellent escort, it will generally only drive during the day. Ordinary transporters cannot do 24-hour wheel rotation.

People can bear it, but cars can't. Big cars are actually "life" and need to be repaired. There is a limit to burning spirits and spirit crystals. It can last for a short period of time. It is unrealistic to not stop for a month.

After confirming that the company does not have the habit of traveling at night for a long time, nor is it rich enough to employ two or three shifts of alternate drivers, the special case team suddenly became excited. Professional stalkers can take turns 24 hours a day in a short period of time. Turn it on, it's still too late to set off!
The next thing to do is simple.

Find out the way they left the city, and then send out pursuers. No one will think that some precious materials will make them use this hidden thread at any cost. Then there must be other things or "important people" on the vehicle.

All kinds of "tokens", "talismans", "trackers", and "lighthouses of life" were brought to the task force. There was already a war group under the Ministry of Internal Affairs ready to go, but Zheng Li was still hesitating.

What are you hesitating about? Hesitating whether to accept this task entrustment.

Others don't know what may be in which car, how can Zheng Li not know?

"Shengu, we haven't found any news after searching for so long. There is a high probability that it is on it."

This is probably the only chance he has to get the whale bone, and if it is captured outside instead of waiting in the city for the result of the battle and chase, the bone will lose a few catties, which is quite normal.

Moreover, the more you know about the Aters, the more you know about their wealth, and how much planning and investment they have made this time.

If those "treasures" are also in the car. Not counting those unruly practices, according to the unspoken rules of hunting, the trophy must have a share of the hunting group.

"It's a moving gold treasure, a gold mine that keeps dropping treasure."

Zheng Li's only worry was that he spent too much time on the road, and the second round of the Sword God Tournament was gone.
".Wait, it's gone if it's gone. Do I really expect to achieve any results? The second round is my limit. Even if I barely make it to the next round, I will be hanged by the peak combat power."

Zheng Li still has self-knowledge. He is still far away from being a real Swordsman contestant. He barely qualified in the first round has exceeded expectations, and his chances of qualifying in the second round are too low. Without the final round, the popularity will be the same. Most of the audience will always stare at the tallest few or even one person.

At this time, Zheng Li made up his mind. The "tokens" are limited, which means that the number of trackers is also limited. He is in the task force, and this advantage is too obvious.

He glanced at the pile of "tokens" on the table, and finally made up his mind.

"When the path comes out, I will also participate in the tracking. My battle group is preparing here and has sufficient manpower."

His sudden opening made the other investigators stunned. They are all professional criminal investigators and intelligence spies. You want to be on the front line?
Inspector Liu from Zheng Li's acquaintance department was also there. He was one of the core members of the special case team. He was taken aback when he heard this, and then touched his chin thoughtfully. He seemed to have remembered something, and then he spoke to Zheng Li.

"You mean that, from the Autonomous Region."

"Yes, the thing we checked before, I have a feeling that it must be on that convoy. If I go there by myself, there will be resonance, and the success rate of tracking will be much higher."

Tracking down the divine bone is the current top priority, and there is nothing to hide.

Regarding Shengu and Zheng Li, I'm afraid Inspector Liu will not be able to make a final decision on this matter.

In the current environment, the matter of Iron Man has not yet come to an end. Zheng Li's departure is not a trivial matter. If his status is special, if his death outside involves political aspects, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not be able to deal with it.

The report was typed up quickly, and Zheng Li was not in a hurry, he waited patiently for the result.

Ten minutes later, the "opinion" came down, only a few simple words.

"Follow the rules."

Looking at this batch of notes, Zheng Li paused for a moment, thought for a while, and then laughed out loud.

".I want a godly bone, but I don't want to take responsibility. Do everything according to the rules? Let me decide for myself, okay, just follow the rules. There is no reason why others can do it, but I can't do it."

At this point in time, the intelligence support department is working very quickly, mainly doing two things.

On the one hand, their hands are scrambling to track the convoy's path.

On the other hand, we have already made preparations for tracking after finding the way, and a series of recruitment and entrusted tasks were quickly released, and volunteers have been recruited through internal channels.

Looking at the conditions of the entrustment, Zheng Li glanced silently and breathed a sigh of relief.

The first is reliability. Priority is given to wargroups with official backgrounds, and secondly, there must be experienced tracking experts in the regiment. Zheng Li himself and Wu Sanjun are guaranteed by the work experience of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in this regard.

Going further, is to consider the possibility of stepping into an unknown world and cross-border tracking. The cart must have a high-quality space radar and a professional space sentinel.

In terms of combat power, there is no requirement. After all, the current goal is to catch up with them and find them, and a battle group that dares to take on such a task, how can it be lack of combat power.

In addition, there are some bonus items, such as the ability to adapt to other worlds and observation.
"I have cross-boundary teleportation and cross-boundary observation capabilities, so it should be a priority."

The ability that was exposed three years ago, at this time, there is no need to hide it.

Zheng Li stated his request very bluntly. This time, he is bound to win the recourse.

"Okay, you will be prioritized."

Since it meets the requirements, Inspector Liu has no reason to stop him.

As soon as the other party agreed, Zheng Li acted preemptively and directly took two of the "tokens" on the table. Most of them were actually quite unreliable, but Zheng Li was sure that what he got was the most reliable.

At this time, Zheng Li's wristwatch has already received a reply from Song Ying. The vacation of the Peace Corps has ended, and the members are waiting for further orders. able to go.

"Now, just wait for the news"

The intelligence personnel are still busy. They are tracing the scene of the convoy leaving the city four days ago. There are so many contraband items on the vehicles. They should not be able to pass the normal checkpoints. How it got out needs further verification.

Did you go through the "checkpoint" under the umbrella, and then went out of the city and walked out of another road?Or has there been another road in the city from the very beginning?

"Can't be so unlucky, are you still in the Iron Man Autonomous Region?"

Recalling that the previous Iron Man Autonomous Region was the only unguarded place, this high possibility made Zheng Li want to cry.

It stands to reason that he has sealed off the space stability in that area, and has not found a space gap beyond that big pothole. However, considering the planning and preparation of the Atel people for so many years, and the space technology that surpasses human beings, what happened? Anything is acceptable.

Finally, with the arrival of the heads of the tracking battle groups one by one, the search work also came to an end.

There is no monitoring of the streets and alleys in the city, but there must be witnesses to the movement of more than a dozen large vehicles and the large convoy that is still leaving in the morning.

What they did was to grind their efforts, to restore their trajectory bit by bit before "disappearing".

Even though the convoy circled the city several times, it was scattered and reorganized in the middle, and finally, all the gathering points pointed to one place.

"The ruins of the Atel embassy in Shiqian City?"
