Just as Feng Jun set down the Energy Stone, someone more than ten kilometers away issued a warning. "Something's happening at Hesheng's storage yard...!"
The possibility that Hesheng was secretly transporting Energy Stones had already been reported upward, and the response from above was perfectly normal: observe first, preferably secure irrefutable evidence in one stroke, then take appropriate action. They absolutely could not act rashly.
After all, this company was simply too powerful and too influential.

That was right. Their ultimate goal was not to make trouble for Hesheng, but to follow the trail and uncover the source of the Energy Stones.
If they only dealt with Hesheng, what impact would it have on the war even if they confiscated the entire company?
So the authorities quietly stepped up their surveillance. Drones were far too conspicuous, so they secretly installed several cameras in treetops around the production base, monitoring the area from every angle.
However, Hesheng had purchased far too much land for the sake of secrecy. The cameras were a great distance from the core of the production base and over three kilometers from the storage yard, so nighttime observation was not particularly effective.
When Feng Jun placed the Energy Stones, he had used the Concealment Art. His infrared and life-field signatures had been greatly reduced, leaving the cameras unable to see him clearly.

When he noticed a camera subtly adjusting its lens, he immediately used Flash Step, then searched for cameras nearby once more.
After a rough look around, he
