from a distance, almost nothing unusual could be detected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with a few drones conducting thorough carpet searches, one could see eight Wanderer cars lurking on the road from Peizhuo Petrochemical to Night City, covered with desert camo fabrics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scrappy-styled drones flew low, blending almost seamlessly with the surrounding environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this special period, there were few vehicles on the highways, and after several hours, Lille could only see two military technology patrol teams and some corporate transports through the drones hidden in the sand dunes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a week of strict inspections and a cyber psychosis incident, military technology had no choice but to let NCPD join the road blockade and relaxed the investigation subjects—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from Mackinaw, now, any vehicle registered at the City Hall that operated normally could also pass checkpoints quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the timing of the information provided by Man, it would take Moore Technology about four hours to reach this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the desert, the Wanderers waited silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille took out a bottle of water and sprinkled some on his forehead and the back of his neck—to prevent heatstroke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing so, he passed the bottle to V in the co-driver’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jack was still squatting over at the red ochre; on the one hand, because West Tuan was a two-seater, and on the other hand, to prevent the newcomers at red ochre from causing trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>V took a sip of water and looked at Lille, \"You seem a bit tense.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille pointed to himself, \"Me?
