My Apocalypse Territory Chapter 396

"But clearly it was——"

The Awakener hanging an assault rifle on his chest became increasingly impatient, sweeping his gaze over the faces, "Don't tell me there's no cult. Even if there is, a mere cult inside Pingliang City, what waves could it possibly stir up!"

"You say you're from Green Shadow, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but even if you have some strength, what could you possibly uncover? In terms of investigation, in terms of equipment, our Pingliang Security Bureau is streets ahead of you."

Through the security line, one could vaguely see several forensic scientists walking into the school.

It was clear, without asking, that the Pingliang Security Bureau, responsible for this matter, must have employed various measures to commence the investigation.

In terms of conventional technological means, Sun Yu knew they couldn't compete with Pingliang, but in terms of ability user methods and Source Power Technology, the heritage of Green Shadow was far beyond what Pingliang Sanctuary could compare with.

His gaze fell on the other's assault rifle; although it was modified, it was just a common firearm. The Longsword on his back, however, was engraved with rune, yet it was only the lowest grade of rune equipment.

A glimpse and you know the whole picture.

Pingliang was relatively behind in terms of Source Power Technology.

A thought flashed in Sun Yu's mind, and he stared coldly at the other, unleashing a restrained aura in an instant that scared the other pale, who then turned and left.

Cai Jiajia and the others also left without a word, following closely.

Only after they had walked far.

Beside the drenched-in-sweat Awakener of Pingliang Security Bureau, another Awakener holding a Longsword and shield exclaimed, "Such a strong presence... I actually think letting them investigate wouldn't be so bad, maybe they'll find some clues if they're lucky."

"What's the use of strong power? Our Security Bureau, our Pingliang isn't lacking experts. They couldn't find much in three days and two nights, relying on those few, don't make me laugh."

"It's also unnecessary to offend them, I've heard Green Shadow's rune equipment is pretty good, what if they decide not to sell their equipment to us anymore?"

The Awakener carrying a Longsword had some regrets, but stubbornly responded, "We have rune equipment too, besides… just a few from the Investigation Corps, what's that count for."

Another sighed and changed the topic, "'Doomsday Cult,' I really don't know their purpose in abducting orphans. Shortly after the incident occurred, we discovered something wrong at the orphanage, and even though the whole city was under martial law, so many orphans, yet still not a trace was seen."

"Enough already, let's leave such brain-racking matters to the team leader and the bureau chief to deal with. The cult only caught us off guard once, I believe with the upper management prepared, 'Doomsday Cult' won't be able to stir up any trouble."

"That's so annoying!"

Not far from the orphanage, inside a private room of a restaurant, Cai Jiajia puffed her cheeks, her face full of anger.

We were clearly joining forces to combat the cult, clearly it was us from Green Shadow extending a helping hand, yet the Pingliang Sanctuary actually rejected us!

Sun Yu frowned, "It was reckless of me, I shouldn't have gone directly to investigate."

Nian Chengwei, no longer remaining silent, said, "The orphanage incident is under Pingliang Security Bureau's management, its bureau chief is quite conservative. For the Security Bureau, maintaining Pingliang's stability is the most important. As for finding the missing orphans... frankly speaking, it's not important to the Security Bureau."

"Most members inside the entire Security Bureau share a similar sentiment, they even want to conceal the existence of the cult, so your unprepared approach was likely to be met with rejection, the probability over 90%."

Sun Yu and the others appeared reflective.

Nian Chengwei continued, "So, have you guys thought of your next steps?"

"Visit the surroundings?"

"Investigate other orphanages in Pingliang?"

"Look into the history of the orphanage where the incident occurred?"

Nian Chengwei sighed, "Doesn't anyone think of something more straightforward, resolute, efficient?"

They shook their heads.

"Don't you understand stealth investigation? The Security Bureau doesn't allow us entry, but we have legs and hands, can't we walk in ourselves!"

Sun Yu hesitated a moment before speaking, "Besides the orphanage, I noticed quite a few people inside the school building. The Security Bureau likely deployed a number of personnel both inside and outside the orphanage. Even if we could sneak in, trying to conduct investigations would surely expose us to the stationed Awakeners."

Nian Chengwei nodded slightly then countered, "Observation is good, but... can't you first knock out people before starting your investigation? Don't tell me you four can't quietly deal with a few guards?!"

"But we've already revealed our identities today, if we break in by force, the Security Bureau will definitely suspect us..."

"It's just knocking a few people out, just infiltrating within the security perimeter, what if they suspect, what if they recognize? Young man, you still lack boldness."

Nian Chengwei revealed a smile, a smile full of confidence.

The confidence stemmed from the strong backing behind him, fearless.

Sun Yu and the others were also influenced, displaying confident expressions.

With Nian Chengwei's help, they quickly formulated a detailed operation plan, ready to act after midnight.

However, the apprentices looked at Nian Chengwei, then to the direct line on the infiltration route map leading straight to the scene, not even requiring a turn, their expressions rather odd.

So, this is what infiltration looked like?
