Chapter 120
"This is an entrance, but it requires strict identity verification to open." Ines stopped and pointed to the identification device next to the door.
"What are you chattering about? Move aside."
Han Fei stepped forward and walked to the verification system on the side.
He then took out a small golden card from his person and held it out.
"Beep--!"
A crisp electronic sound rang out. Immediately following, a deep hydraulic thud echoed as the hatch slowly slid open to the sides. A clear, synthesized female voice then announced:
"Identity verification successful. Babel looks forward to traveling with you."
"Isn't he handsome?"
Han Fei put away the small card and said, "Forget about verification, just swipe the card to get in, that's all."
When Han Fei saw that familiar yellow card reader, he knew he had succeeded.
With the power supply authorization in hand, how could you possibly be denied entry to the Babel?
The bag can fit!
"This..."
Ines's feelings at this moment can only be described as complicated. She looked at Han Fei, her curiosity so intense it was almost overflowing.
She was certain that Han Fei was definitely not a member of the Babel — the Babel simply didn't have such a carefree member.
Besides, if he were truly a member of the Babel, how could he have remained so calm when he learned that Theresis intended to assassinate Theresa?
After all, Theresa was the only light in the Babel, and the absolute leader that the members of the Babel were willing to follow with their lives.
But if he wasn't a member of the Babel, how could he so easily unlock Babel gates?
It's important to understand that while she was part of Theresa's faction, she wasn't a core member; strictly speaking, she was an unofficial member.
But if she wants to enter Rhodes Island, she'll have to rely on the inside staff for assistance.
Could it be that the card was obtained by killing some elite member of the Babel?
That doesn't seem likely either. Putting aside the fact that the battle is currently intense, elite operators wouldn't go alone. Even if they were really killed alone, how could he dare to walk in so swaggeringly?
Theresa is no weak woman; she is the Demon Lord of Kazdel.
Too many questions filled Ines's mind. If she hadn't known that it wasn't the right time for her to speak, she would have loved to ask Han Fei who he really was.
Instinctively, Ines glanced at the other girls.
Then, Ines was surprised to find that in the eyes of the other girls, there was a light of confusion just like hers.
But unlike the other girls, the eyes of the girls held not only doubt but also trust.
It was a trust that came from the bottom of their hearts. Even though they were equally surprised that Han Fei could crack the access control so easily, they didn't ask any questions. Instead, they chose to believe Han Fei and were willing to face the potential dangers with him, despite their confusion.
"OK, let me see what treasures Rhodes Island has right now."
Han Fei wasn't worried. Returning to Rhodes Island, or rather, the Babel, was, in a sense, no different from going home.
"Let me see if Rhodes Island is my standard 333 infrastructure."
Han Fei walked into Rhodes Island while speaking in obscure and difficult-to-understand language.
The girls exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
Upon entering, the first floor has some rather messy rooms on both sides.
Han Fei went in and searched, but there wasn't much to find, just some low-level containers, tote bags, and courier boxes.
However, the sound of explosions would occasionally occur while he was searching, making its presence felt.
Watching Han Fei leisurely search for supplies, Texas couldn't help but remind him, "Boss, shouldn't we go check on the situation?"
No rush.
Han Fei waved his hands repeatedly.
Texas asking that question clearly shows she hasn't played enough Babel.
In a fierce attack on the Babel, the most important thing is not anything else, but patience.
Unless you are extremely confident in your abilities and can definitely take on the other two teams, the priority should be to focus on securing a good meal first.
More importantly, at that time, Han Fei genuinely had no idea how the battle was progressing inside the tower.
If the Shroud Reapers hadn't met Theresa yet, and Han Fei and his men ran into Shroud Reapers, that would be a real mess.
His squad was indeed strong, but the problem was that a full complement of Shroud Reapers was no less formidable, and might even be stronger in combat!
It would be ridiculous if I didn't get a single bite and got kicked away by Shroud Reapers.
Anyway, Han Fei felt that Theresa and the Shroud Reapers might not have met yet, otherwise the commotion wouldn't have been limited to just a few explosions.
Thinking of this, Han Fei made a decision. "Anyway, don't rush. I don't want to lead you all into a trap with those assassins."
"I'm not afraid, but what's the point of us fighting those assassins?"
Lemuen remained as gentle as ever, but her eyes held the composure of an elite sniper. She softly analyzed, "From a standpoint of perspective, I am Sankta. The Sarkaz civil war is none of my business. Regardless of who wins or loses, it will not bring me any real benefit."
"From a personal perspective, I don't even know anyone here."
"Whether from a positional standpoint or from a personal perspective, I can't find a reason to interfere."
"On the contrary, I think the current situation is more advantageous to us."
"In a chaotic Babel, no one can look after us. We can take this opportunity to get what we want."
At this point, Lemuen smiled, with a hint of teasing, "Boss, we're broke, you know?"
Lemuen always listened to her older sister, and what her sister was saying made a lot of sense, so she chimed in, "That's right, I don't even know them, why would my sister and I help them fight a civil war?"
"Boss, why don't you take me to search for things? This is the place you said has special loot, right? I really want some valuable treasures!"
Volume One: Chapter 152 Music!
Lemuen has already said that, what else can be said?
Hug it!
Since things have come to this, let's eat!
However, there's not much to eat on this level near the entrance.
This does resemble the first level of the Tower of Babel.
The first floor of the Bakshibabel Tower also has very few containers, as it serves as a waiting area.
At that time, the entrance level of the Babel in Kazdel also appeared to be a waiting area for people to rest temporarily.
The good news is that this place isn't a maze, and the stairs to the top are easy to find.
Han Fei found the stairs to the top on his own without Ines's help to lead the way.
So he said, "Let's go up first."
"Let's go, let's go!"
Lemuen was the most excited and immediately took the lead, wanting to run ahead.
Seeing this Lemuen quickly called out to her, saying, "Xiao Le, don't be so reckless. This isn't Laterano."
"I know, sis, I understand!"
Lemuen stopped, turned around, gave Lemuen a thumbs-up, and said confidently, "There's definitely no one up there, otherwise they would have spotted us already."
"You."
Upon hearing this, Lemuen shook her head but said nothing more.
Lemuen was certainly not a reckless person. Even though she thought no one was upstairs, she hadn't actually let go of her gun. She jogged up the stairs, seemingly to scout ahead first, and only after confirming that no one was there did she speak to the crowd below:
"There's no one up there, come on up."
Only then did everyone go up.
The corridors on this floor are significantly more spacious than those on the floor below.
However, to the naked eye, this corridor has significantly fewer rooms than the floor below.
You have to be quite far away to see a door.
This also means that the rooms here are significantly larger than those below.
When it comes to searching, arresting, and removing criminals, there's always a rule that you can't pick just one.
Since he had to handle all kinds of containers, Han Fei was too lazy to choose a room. He just picked the nearest one and peeked inside, holding his M250.
"No one in sight, proceed."
Upon hearing this, the three members of the team immediately went inside. Ines hesitated for a moment, then followed them in.
As soon as Lemuen entered, her eyes lit up when she saw what was inside. "Wow, this is definitely the best place! Can I start searching now?"
This is a very spacious room, resembling a workshop, filled with mechanical tools. As such, there are quite a few shiny containers inside, ranging from high-end black storage boxes to ordinary small yellow boxes, all clearly visible.
More importantly, there were some valuable items on the table and the floor.
"Search it."
Han Fei nodded slightly. "If we're not going to search this or that, then what are we doing at the Babel?"
"Yay!"
Lemuen given permission, Remy immediately ran like a cheerful little lark to a high-end storage box and touched it with her little hand.
With a click, the box opened a crack, and Lemuen stopped moving.
--It's waiting for something to spin around.
This surprised Ines somewhat; she had thought Han Fei had brought people to take advantage of the chaos.
But judging from this, what's the meaning of opening the box without touching the contents?
Ines was unaware that the search had already begun the moment the box was opened.
Unlike Lemuen, who immediately started eating, Texas's choice was much more conservative.
Unlike Lemuen, she didn't immediately start collecting spoils. Instead, she gripped her longsword and, like a sentry, surveyed every corner of the room.
At the same time, if there are any treasures on the ground, she will quietly pick them up and put them in her backpack.
"Wow, this place is really nice!"
Lemuen had only searched a few containers when she excitedly stood up, holding up a golden object in her hand, and exclaimed, "I can find treasures just by touching them!"
Han Fei looked closely and realized it was a military explosive.
This thing only costs a little over 100,000 for four slots, which is actually quite ordinary, but seeing how energetic Lemuen, he didn't say anything.
This is what the top-secret Babel is like.
Even if all else fails, taking a small amount of gold from someone's pocket shouldn't be a big problem.
--Unless everyone else has eaten all the food.
Han Fei didn't speak, but the clever Lemuen quickly realized something was wrong.
"Hey, these four pieces only cost this much? When you convert it up, they don't seem to be worth much at all."
So Han Fei offered words of comfort, "It's better than being all blue and green."
"That's true, then let's keep it for now."
Despite this, the smile on Lemuen's face did not fade.
The joy of tomb raiding is that simple.
Before long, the room was ransacked. Lemuen's backpack wasn't empty to begin with, and the fashionable little trinkets that came out were all taken by Lemuen.
One person quickly left the room and went to the next room to begin searching.
The second room, the third room...
The extremely low drop rate of the top-secret Babel kept Lemuen's smile never faltering.
She could pull out a small gold card every now and then, but in terms of value, it still couldn't compare to the gold room key she had always longed for.
But the joy of constantly making money is just too pure.
