Strategic resources, packed up and taken away

Since he had no immediate plans to antagonize Sashado, Ian didn't stay to watch the spectacle.

The ending was already decided.

The soldiers sent by V5 had performed exceptionally well, and their weaponry and equipment were also quite impressive.

Unfortunately, they couldn't defeat Sashado.

Based on this understanding, Ian directly moved Peji City.

His strengths don't lie in fighting; the world is in ruins, Ian mends and repairs it.

"Call--"

Using the [Map of Repositioning], they were practically teleporting through space. Even so, the sudden changes in the scenes before their eyes still terrified Xiupa.

Because he knew the locations of the cities destroyed by Sashado, Ian placed him on top of the giant soldiers' heads along with them.

At this moment, he felt the strong winds blowing from high above, Xiupa his golden hair to dance wildly.

"Take a look at the map, Your Excellency. Hopefully, we've gone astray."

Ian glanced at the other person, who resembled a certain founder of a nation in his past life, and couldn't help but smile. He then gestured to Eluna beside him.

Eluna raised her long arm, and then an invisible Defense Shield enveloped the group, preventing them from being blown away by the Gale.

Suddenly the Gale disappeared, and I felt myself entering a peaceful environment.

Xiupa quickly smoothed his blond hair, reverently and respectfully accepted the map from Ian, and praised him.

"Gratitude for your kindness, please allow me to take a look."

Xiupa at the map, Ian, wanting to make it easier for the other person to observe the surroundings, did not change the map's location any further.

Xiupa glanced at the image on the [Map of Repositioning], then carefully examined the surrounding environment before quickly speaking respectfully.

"We are currently heading towards Pino City... You don't need to worry."

After confirming that they were heading in the right direction, Ian nodded.

Xiupa looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but didn't speak. Ian noticed the struggle on his face and asked curiously.

"President Xiupa, is there anything you want to say? Just speak freely. With me, you don't need to worry about offending me by saying the wrong thing."

Hearing Ian's words, Xiupa breathed a slight sigh of relief, but dared not look Ian in the eye and bowed his head respectfully.

"God, there is something I wish to tell you."

"In Pino City lies the largest Strategic Reserve Resource Depot in the entire Congo Republic. If you need it, I'm willing to show you the way; the generals probably know its location."

Hearing the way he was addressed as "Xiupa, "Ian felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't correct him. Instead, he became interested in the Strategic Reserve Resource Depot that Shupa mentioned.

"Oh, I'm quite interested in that. I'll find it and take a look when we get there."

"Otherwise, staying here would be a waste..."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiupa with satisfaction and smiled.

"If those resources are found, I think the people of Congo will all remember you, Xiupa."

Upon hearing Ian's words, President Xiupa, a blond middle-aged man, smiled broadly and repeatedly said he wouldn't dare.

Not long after.

After dozens of spatial exchanges, the devastated city of "Peji" finally connected with another dilapidated city.

Everywhere was ruins; there was hardly a trace of life in Pino City. The city was charred black, as if a great fire had once burned and destroyed everything in it.

"What a Sashado has made..."

Seeing this desolate scene, Ian shook his head, quite dissatisfied.

The survivors of Peji City, not being on high ground, couldn't see the entirety of Pino City. However, they did catch a glimpse of the area where the two cities met, and they looked at each other in bewilderment, speechless.

Xiupa had already anticipated this scene, so he wasn't too surprised, only a little saddened.

As president, Sashado marched towards Peji City, losing contact with city after city along the way; he had certainly anticipated this scenario.

From his vantage point, he naturally witnessed the desolate scene in Pino City, which filled him with both relief and lingering fear.

If... they hadn't met Ian, the outcome probably wouldn't have been much better than in Pino City.

Therefore, he actually became more serious about his work.

After receiving Ian's authorization, he immediately approached those high-ranking military officers. Although they were all incompetent fools, they at least had some knowledge of the locations of many of the country's military facilities.

However, when Xiupa mentioned the strategic storage facility, they were all aware of it, but when Xiupa arrived at the giant Toy Soldiers, they were dumbfounded.

The city before us is so thoroughly destroyed that it is almost impossible to discern its original location.

Furthermore, the base was built hundreds of meters underground, making it difficult for them to pinpoint its location.

"You guys are a bunch of useless trash!"

By this time, Xiupa was no longer in the shelter with them. He had been afraid of being isolated and helpless and offending these high-ranking military officers.

Now that he has regained Ian's support, he feels Xiupa a fish in water and naturally no longer needs to tolerate these idiots in front of him.

The military officers were thoroughly berated, and although they were somewhat indignant, there was nothing they could do.

The current President, Xiupa, has gained the favor of that God young man, and they know they have no hope of competing with him.

Therefore, they could only swallow their anger.

After hearing Xiupa's ashamed reply, Ian paused, rubbed his chin, gazed at the distant Pino City, and muttered softly.

"Hidden hundreds of meters underground, that's quite well hidden, but..."

"That's for the best. Given how quickly Sashado's attack came, the city's inhabitants probably didn't have time to utilize its resources before being overwhelmed..."

As he spoke, Ian, wearing the Take-copter, flew away.

Arriving above Pino City and seeing up close the charred buildings and the horrific scratches on some walls, one can still vaguely sense the despair experienced by the people in that city at the time...

Ian collected his thoughts, took out the [Superpower Hat] from his Four-Dimensional Pocket, and put it on his head.

The next moment.

He then used the X-ray vision superpower carried by the hat, his eyes seemingly able to see a thousand miles, and his body slowly flew through the city, while his eyes looked down at the earth.

Less than half an hour later, on one of the most charred areas of ground, he saw a heavily forged warehouse.

Just as Xiupa had said, it contained a large amount of strategic materials.

The site contained hundreds of tons of energy resources, as well as production lines for various rare metals and weapons, although these things were not of great use to Ian.

However, these are resources that most cities do not possess.

Even in Ejin City, there isn't one.

Typically, a country will only have a few cities with military preparedness, where a large number of such Strategic Reserve Resource Depot will be stored.

But.

During Ian's search, several large underground refuge spaces were also discovered, showing signs of human activity.

Presumably, they are survivors from Pino City.

At this point, the red, giant Toy Soldiers came in handy once again.
