"Gene testing passed, Cell Two."
"Gene testing...."
A macaque squatted on the long table, wielding a syringe and jabbing it into a ceramic factory employee controlled by the Mechanical Dog.
The suspects who passed the test, under the direction of the Mechanical Dog, leaped into a temporarily dug pit, revealing a cylindrical metal object stamped with the word [EXPL] and some very peculiar handcuffs to the storekeeper.
The handcuffs, in silver and rose gold, differed from double-ring handcuffs, featuring four circular rings instead.
"Please stretch your left thumb into the upper small ring and lock it, let me see the mark on your skin."
The Mechanical Dog considerately instructed the storekeeper on how to wear and lock the special handcuffs around their thumb and wrist.
Once the storekeeper finished putting them on, a mechanical arm with a tread base hidden in the weeds picked up the Mechanical Dog.
The Mechanical Dog moved its four legs, following the workstation computer's instructions to proceed to a designated location, then returned to the ceramic factory.
All the events occurring here were transmitted back to the base vehicle through a camera placed next to the macaque.
"It feels just like playing a game...."
Ansheng lay on Wang Qiqi's shoulder, watching the events on the computer screen before him with amazement.
Prior to this, although Ansheng knew that the group was part of the Security Bureau's Pest Control Unit, and drove Spirit Beasts and advanced technology, he had no clear concept of a high-tech team.
Now he had witnessed how an entire area could be controlled without the presence of a single person.
"This is exactly the effect we want, after all, we belong to the Security Bureau, which emphasizes safety,"
Wang Qiqi listened to Master Fox's exclamation, smilingly speaking as if boasting but also introducing:
"A Mechanical Dog costs six thousand, even with weapons included, the cost doesn't exceed ten thousand."
"Exploding one costs ten thousand, not using it is just a few cents for electricity. Just a few million can complete a task that could potentially wipe out a small squad, making it an exceedingly cost-effective choice at any time."
Involving issues related to Spiritual Particles, being cautious is never too much.
If they were all ordinary people in the ceramic factory, all would be fine, but if any Beast Warriors appeared, it could instantly lead to the elimination of a three-person armed squad.
Technology is meant to serve people, this also holds true in warfare.
With drones to fill the front lines, there's no need to sacrifice the precious lives of soldiers. Whether considering the real cost or emotional factors, trading the lives of many soldiers for strategic victories is always a Pyrrhic victory.
However, using the lowest cost and highest efficiency to directly send the enemy to their doom is the best strategy.
"So....did you guys bring that thing?" Ansheng asked with slight curiosity: "The big dog carrying something resembling a roadbed missile on its back?"
"Uh...."
"Though it may cause some misunderstanding if I put it this way, Master Fox, the thing you saw—usually, under normal circumstances..." Hearing Master Fox inquire about the small roadbed launcher, Wang Qiqi's previously proud expression quickly became hesitant:
"We usually only use that thing in operations against Spirit Beasts..."
"After all...the cost of that thing is extremely high, not useful in ordinary missions."
"..." Ansheng asked with a subtle expression on his face while looking at Wang Qiqi's cheek: "Specifically for bombing Guardian Level Spirit Beasts?"
"Not exactly, we also use it against some Overlord Level Spirit Beasts with hard skins and thick flesh." Wang Qiqi cleared her throat twice and said: "For Guardian Level Spirit Beasts, we generally use gentle persuasion, after all...everyone's out here struggling, just trying to eat."
"A Guardian Level Spirit Beast is equivalent to a mayor; drawing one over can secure a city against wild Spirit Beasts and even assist in local Security Bureau operations under special circumstances."
"Especially for Spirit Beast types like Master Fox, they're particularly popular within our Security Bureau. Just imagine, if a bandit held hostages and there was no sniper point, Master Fox could just stroll over and resolve it with one kick."
"So, Master...."
"Engineer Wang! The aerial Cloud Platform detected unusual signals in the ceramic factory."
Just as Wang Qiqi was preparing to continue her gentle persuasion, the logistics support team member sitting at the workstation computer suddenly turned around and looked at Wang Qiqi.
"Unusual signals?"
Wang Qiqi was stunned as she looked at the team member, but before she had time to ask, a deafening explosion sound came from the direction of the ceramic factory.
"Boom——"
Orange-red flames soared into the sky, with nearly four thousand squared of the ceramic factory, hundreds of square areas instantly becoming ruins as fierce flames swept through, generating intense shock waves and scorching winds radiating outward.
The night sky at dawn was illuminated as bright as day by the orange firelight at this moment.
"???"
Wang Qiqi stared blankly, looking from inside the business car towards the ceramic factory where the violent explosion had occurred.
"Drip drip drip——"
The firelight soaring into the sky lasted for a moment, rumbling echoes reverberating across the barren land.
Some debris from the severe explosion, swept into the sky, fell and pattered on the car roof, causing a series of "pitter-patter" collision sounds.
"The ceramic factory.... there were explosives. The unusual signal detected just now by the aerial Cloud Platform may have been a signal wave emitted when the other side detonated the explosives."
The logistics support team member looked stupefied at the screen displaying lost signals, reporting to Wang Qiqi:
"However, there is also good news—none of our members were in the ceramic factory, and the suspects were all previously abducted by the Mechanical Dog."
"Good news my foot!"
Wang Qiqi came back to her senses, her complexion changing drastically, without any hesitation, took out the Spirit Particle Potion from her sleeve, injected it into her thigh, her form abruptly heightening as she sprouted a leopard tail and fleshy triangular ears, darting out of the business car at incredible speed.
"Those thieves clearly knew they were exposed and are planning to destroy the Spirit Particle Ruins!"
"Full alert level, open fire warning on anyone attempting to leave the ceramic factory."
Wang Qiqi's figure vanished into the night, her voice echoing back, issuing orders to the logistics team.
Perched on Wang Qiqi's shoulder, Ansheng, not holding on due to Wang Qiqi's swift motion, spun several times in the air before landing on the ground.
"Such speed...."
Ansheng exclaimed, looking outside the business vehicle at the dirt-coated Lin Bingyun and Wang Ya: "Are you alright?"
"No problem."
Lin Bingyun lightly rubbed her ears, speaking to Master Fox.
There were several kilometers from the explosion site.
While nothing was amiss, the concussion from the explosion caused Lin Bingyun a slight tinnitus.
"I'm fine."
Wang Ya shook her head, patting the debris on her head, which had fallen from the ruined walls.
"You all stay here and don't run around, I'll head over there to check the situation."
Seeing the two were fine, Ansheng sprang out of the business car back into the pickup truck, gripping his giant hammer, standing upright, and sprinted off on two small legs.
"They...."
"Are they competing with me for the enemy?"
The leaping Ansheng glided over the Forest Rangers' heads, seeing two others who had also assumed mode, the Woodcutters speeding towards the explosion center.
Ansheng's spirits lifted, and he ran even faster.
