West of the city, resource library No. 2.
There are dozens of resource banks in Zhonghai City, which are mainly responsible for the storage of resources. The resource fields outside the city, whether spiritual fields, mines, or special secret realms, all resources produced in Zhonghai City need to be collected first as long as they enter the city. Enter the resource warehouse, otherwise you will be charged with smuggling.
Because even private mines still need to pay part of the tribute tax. In order to pay taxes better, any resources returned to the city must be deposited in the resource library. The staff of the Resources Bureau will be responsible for counting, deducting the required part, and then the Resources Bureau will Issue it and send it to a personal group or mercenary team.
The resource library is a secret place in the city, and no one else is allowed to enter. The construction of the city resource warehouse is very strong and can block detection. Even if the mark on the tribute treasure box is extremely strong, once it is sent to the warehouse, the sensing range will be greatly reduced, and it can be traced within a thousand or two thousand miles. The imprint signal was immediately reduced to two or three hundred miles after entering the warehouse.
No wonder.
The Bureau of Investigation has been searching for so long, but there is no clue about the tribute.
No matter how the Investigation Bureau investigates and uses every method to sense the location of the treasure chest, it is still an activity carried out in the wild. I am afraid that no one would have thought that the treasure chest snatched by the indigenous people was not placed anywhere in the wild, or even on any indigenous territory, but was sent back to the Green Alliance and stored in the Green Alliance's warehouse.
"So that's it, these cunning natives!" Qiao Weier clarified what happened and gave Zhang Mu a kiss excitedly: "I really love you to death. You can even find out such a thing? Amazing. Awesome! You are one of my lucky generals!"
Zhang Mu wiped the saliva from his face, glared at Qiao Weier, and made a silent gesture, "Don't make it public, otherwise you will be in trouble if you alert the enemy. Do you know how many indigenous spies there are in the city? If the news is leaked, all plans will be ruined. It’s ruined!”
Qiao Weier nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Okay, I will do whatever you say, I will listen to you, as long as the case is handled beautifully!"
"Although we are sure, we still can't be careless. We must confirm it with our own eyes to avoid unexpected situations." Zhang Mu lowered his voice and said: "First sneak into the warehouse to verify. If it can be confirmed that it is the tribute treasure box intercepted by the indigenous people, we can make further plans. Not too late."
Qiao Weier had this intention.
However, sneaking into the resource library is not an easy task. Because the warehouse is too tightly guarded, the anti-theft system is perfect, and the alarm is extremely sensitive. With Xie's ability, it would be easy to infiltrate, but Xie is not around. It would be quite difficult if we only rely on Zhang Mu and Qiao Weier.
"The terminal of the anti-theft system is at the Resources Bureau headquarters. We need to turn off several anti-theft systems without being noticed. In addition, the Resources Bureau headquarters has a floor plan of the warehouse, the types and locations of alarms, the positions of personnel and guards, and the work The relationship and nature... we must get these."
"let me try."
Qiao Weier used her relationship with the Resource Bureau to fix the defense system and collect and steal confidential information such as floor plans, alarms, staff, and guard locations. There are a total of 1,300 warehouse personnel and guards, divided into two halves and working in shifts.
There is no master.
The strongest person is in the middle stage of Earth Spirit.
This is easy to handle.
Zhang Mu and Qiao Weier secretly entered the warehouse and used the Heaven-Shading Demonic Skill to hide their figures. Then they used mind control to temporarily hypnotize the guards at key positions. After several twists and turns, they finally entered the warehouse without anyone noticing.
The warehouse is too big.
At least tens of millions of resources are stored!
The "soil crystals" shipped yesterday were placed on the bottom floor of the warehouse. The value of the "soil crystals" was not high, but they were placed in a place with the highest level of confidentiality. This is enough to explain the problem. The two searched for a while among the piles of treasure boxes, looking for that resource.
"Found it, here!"
In an inconspicuous corner.
More than thirty large treasure chests were placed silently in the corner.
Each treasure box is half a person tall. The storage space of a large treasure box is about a thousand squares. The storage space of more than thirty boxes may be as high as thirty thousand squares. It is indeed a rare treasure in the entire Xihai Province. The value of just one box is probably unimaginable.
Qiao Weier couldn't wait to open one of the treasure boxes, and endless treasure light bloomed, illuminating the huge warehouse. All kinds of rare treasures really dazzled Qiao Weier's mind. Qiao Weier is the daughter of the city lord. She has entered the treasure house countless times and has never seen so many rare treasures.
"It's a tribute!"
"The tribute from Xihai Province to the Alliance!"
"So many treasures!"
Qiao Weier reached into the box, but as soon as she reached in, she was immediately bounced away by a force: "It is protected by an enchantment! This kind of enchanted treasure box is quite powerful. Only the highest-level resources will be transported. This kind of enchanted treasure box will be used. It can only be opened with a special enchantment key. It is difficult to break through violence, and it is very dangerous. It can easily cause the treasure chest to collapse, so I can only take a look... "
Zhang Mu covered the treasure box.
"I'll ask the big head to bring someone here. Let's work together inside and outside and fight out with the treasure box!" Qiao Weier said impatiently: "If such a great achievement can be completed smoothly, we will definitely be praised by the governor. How many levels can you upgrade to? The title is no big deal!”
Zhang Mu shook his head and said: "Recovering the tribute is a great achievement, but have you ever thought about it. There are several serious cases superimposed on the tribute ship case. If they can be solved together, wouldn't it be more merit on top of merit?"
"You mean the traitors and indigenous robbers? Do you have a way to dig them out?"
Zhang Mu thought for two seconds and came up with a plan. He asked Qiao Weier, "Is there any way you can get a similar enchanted treasure chest?"
"Boundary treasure chests are usually used when transporting valuables. The Resource Bureau has some. If I ask my aunt for help, I can get them..." She asked strangely: "But, what do you want the treasure chest for?"
"The natives are trying to hide their secrets, why don't we try to change things for the better?"
"What are you stealing? Stealing the sky?"
"We took away the tribute treasure box and replaced it with an identical empty box. The natives will soon use the traitor relationship to secretly transport the treasure box away. However, when they open the treasure box and find that it is empty, how do you think they will react?"
"I guess I'll be mad!"
"Yes, at that time the natives will definitely suspect that the treasure chest has been changed by a traitor, and they may start a fight. We can follow the clues, find the meeting place of the natives, and take them all away in one go. In this way, we can recover the treasure. Tribute, eradication of traitors, and elimination of natives, three great achievements!"
Qiao Weier's eyes lit up: "What a great idea!"
"This matter must not alarm anyone. There must be a spy in the Resource Bureau. If anything unusual is discovered, our plan will be ruined, and we may be alerted." Gray mist filled Zhang Mu's body, "I can temporarily block the sound, Breath, let's dig a tunnel secretly first, take advantage of the warehouse guard's shift change, and secretly transport the tribute box away, leaving only the empty box."
Qiao Weier thought of a question: "The box can be opened and inspected. What if the traitor Yun discovers that the box is empty before leaving?"
"It seems that you are not very stupid, right?"
"Who are you talking about!"
Zhang Mu cleared his throat and said: "It's easy to handle. My sister is a good illusionist. It's not difficult to do something about it. Anyway, the things in the box can't be taken out, and they can't identify the authenticity of the phantom. It's impossible to hide it from ordinary people. question."
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's take action!"
Zhang Mu and Qiao Weier each called some cronies to tinker with the warehouse alarm. Qiao Weier picked out a devil earthworm from the World of Warcraft pets that was very good at digging burrows. It is said that this is a creature from Devil's Island. There is no sound when digging a hole, and no movement will occur.
It took the devil earthworms several hours to dig to the designated spot.
Zhang Mu took advantage of the gap during the guard shift to create a fog covering the entire inner layer of the warehouse. No sound or breath could be transmitted out. Then he dragged the treasure boxes into the cave one by one and let Qiao Weier, who was hiding in the cave, take away the prepared ones. The fake treasure chests were taken out and stacked in their original locations.
Everyone was busy all night.
Finally, the plan to steal the sky and change the sun was successfully completed, and receiving the tribute meant that no matter what, the credit could not be lost. The Bureau of Investigation has been busy outside for a long time, but they don't know that the tribute has been recovered. The indigenous people and the Dark Corner planned carefully, but they did not expect that failure was approaching step by step.
Just recovering the tribute is not enough, this mission can bring more generous benefits!
Zhang Mu instructed: "Start the cleaning work and refill the hole immediately without leaving any suspicious signs."
Lei Ming returned from the investigation: "Wood, I checked it out. After general resources enter the Zhonghai City warehouse, they will only stay for about three days to complete the tax deduction, and then return them to the Dark Corner. The Dark Corner is connected to a factory in a town to the east. Cooperation relationship, this factory has been ordering earth crystals from the Dark Corner for a long time, and this batch of earth crystals will leave Zhonghai City in 6 days."
"As expected, Nile is very thoughtful. Whether it's importing or exporting, there are legal and reasonable channels for everything. Even if the investigation bureau investigates afterwards, there won't be any clues!" Zhang Mu stood up straight, clapped his fingers and said, "That's right. That’s it for now, it is expected that in 6 days it will be the day when the indigenous people and the Dark Corner will divide the spoils. As for the coordinates of the division of the spoils, we have already mastered it.”
"Do I need to tell the city lord?"
"No, this group of natives is too strong!"
If the city lord was told, the city lord would most likely conceal the information and send out the city defense army to encircle and suppress him. Lei Ming served in the city defense army, so once the city defense army was dispatched, they would have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. It's just that Zhang Mugang got some new information. The indigenous forces are very strong, and the city defense army may not be able to take them.
Because Xie has tracked the snake demon tribe, found the tribe where the snake demon tribe is hiding, and at the same time inquired about the situation of the snake demon tribe, this tribe is quite powerful.
"If the most elite troops in the city cannot even attack the city defense army, we will have no choice but to let the military headquarters take action, but the deputy city lord is our enemy."
"Don't be impatient." Zhang Mu also felt a little headache: "Wait a minute!"
According to further information brought back from Xie, there are 5 powerful Heavenly Spirits in the Snake Demon Tribe, with a population of about 200,000. Zhang Mu suspected that the tribe was related to a mysterious indigenous organization in Xihai Province, and it was difficult for the city defense army to benefit from it.
