He turned around and saw a man smiling at him.

"Don't be like that, aren't we all brothers?"

"Not even my brother! I only have one pack left!" Hearing the man's words, the young man also resolutely refused.

"There's still a week until the next shift change, and you're changing shifts tonight. Can't you just bear with it?!"

"You know I'm leaving tonight, wouldn't it be better to give the whole thing to my brother?" the man began to whine.

They stayed in their shifts for almost a month at a time, without any entertainment or leisure activities, which was incredibly tiring and boring!

"Not good!"

"Hey, you..."

The two were being very careful in their conversation, but they still managed to attract the attention of those around them.

Seeing that there were still cigarettes, the Swarm of people stopped being reserved and rushed over, shouting "Old man, get out of the way!" to share a few cigarettes.

The young man, who had hoped to sneak a few bites, was now on the verge of tears and felt utterly helpless.

It's easy to handle a few people; if they don't want to give it, they don't have to.

But with so many people... he had no choice.

Fortunately, this was just a routine activity for these patrolmen, and no one really said anything about it.

Gradually, the enclosed room began to fill with smoke.

After taking a few puffs, the group exclaimed in surprise.

"This cigarette... where did you get it? It doesn't look like the cigarettes from Dossoles."

"I bought these from some Columbia businessmen before I changed jobs... Recently, a lot of business people have come here, and things are much cheaper."

"Recently?" The veterans were taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"Speaking of which, it's almost time for the annual Water Change Day, isn't it? It seems like there will be an event like this again..."

"So there are a lot more troubles now."

The group discussed it, their expressions somewhat helpless.

Dossoles, as Bolivar's most famous tourist city, attracts almost all the prominent figures in Terra every year during holidays. Its bustling and extravagant atmosphere rivals even Lungmen.

However, due to the large influx of people, the problems that arise here are also particularly troublesome.

Just like recently...

"It seems the higher-ups are having a headache lately because of a bunch of bombings."

"A bombing?" A few new recruits who had just arrived asked curiously.

The veteran didn't keep them in suspense, simply shaking his head before continuing, "Just recently, there were unnatural explosions happening all over Dossoles... At first, we thought it was a problem with the aging system, but later the investigation team discovered that it contained explosives and other things... It's possible someone was planning something during the holidays."

"Isn't this dangerous?" a new recruit asked, his eyes wide with curiosity.

"Isn't the higher-ups planning to intervene?"

"Of course we have to deal with this kind of thing." The veteran took another puff of his cigarette, then shook his head. "But you guys don't come often... These kinds of things happen quite a few times every year, and dealing with them one by one is exhausting. In the end, all we need to do is make sure there's no trouble at the most crucial moment. As for the rest, it doesn't really matter... Besides, none of these explosions have injured anyone, so the higher-ups have also arranged not to make too much of a fuss... Professional matters are handled by professional personnel."

The veteran finished his last cigarette in one puff, then stood up, dusted off the ash, and turned to leave.

"I'm going outside to keep watch. You guys keep an eye on the screen, just in case there's any danger."

"OK."

Although the answers were good, no one really took them seriously.

After all, Dossoles' social environment on Terra isn't great, but it's not quite time for a real fight yet.

Most of the mobile platforms coming and going here are large, registered ones... how could there be a problem?

Just as they were thinking this, the veteran who had just gone up hurriedly returned.

"Hmm? Have you rested enough?"

A group of people were somewhat curious.

But the veteran's face was grim.

"Did the instrument detect anything?"

"Testing?"

Seeing the veteran's appearance, everyone couldn't help but become serious.

They immediately activated all the instruments in the room.

But the result was...

"Everything is normal?"

"Everything is normal?" The veteran was suddenly taken aback.

He peeked out again, looking around for a while, before returning to his original position.

"Was that thing registered?"

"Report it?" The people in charge of surveillance were taken aback.

They looked at each other, then glanced at the instruments.

"No? There shouldn't be any mobile platforms approaching us."

"No?!"

The veteran's expression changed instantly.

He got up again, seemingly incredulously, and went to the deck to look around.

Their hurried footsteps were unsettling.

The other soldiers quickly split into groups and followed.

And it was this time that they finally understood why the old man had been so bewildered.

The enormous shadow completely obscured their border patrol vessel.

Compared to their enormous bodies, they were like beans in a giant's hand!

It walked calmly and silently to the side, less than ten meters away from them.

On the dark surface of the building, there were many patterns that they could not understand at all.

A low growl echoed around.

Crows are circling.

Several women stood quietly at the edge of the platform, silently looking down at them...

His gaze was filled with indifference...

"You mean you've discovered an undetectable mobile platform... and now it borders our territory?"

In the office corridor, a woman in a white navy suit had a furrowed brow.

She had one hand in her pocket and the other holding the urgent documents she had just submitted; her Xubai face was somewhat gloomy.

She strode down the corridor, questioning the soldier who was reporting to her.

Dossoles currently uses the most advanced heat source detection system.

It can detect any life on a mobile platform!

Not to mention Originium energy, which generates a large amount of heat during operation.

But someone below reported that even when a person was right up to their face, the machine couldn't detect it... so they still had to use their eyes to see?

Isn't this outrageous?!

However, the soldiers were quite innocent in this matter.

"But... we followed the rules strictly according to the operation manual, and the machine really didn't respond..."

"..." The woman was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but sigh.

But she quickly came to her senses.

"So, what specific statement did the other side make? Are they planning to start a war?"

"No...it shouldn't be." The soldier quickly shook his head. "After the mobile platform connected with us, it stopped its operation. There were also a few people claiming to be diplomats who wanted to communicate with you...they seemed to be there to participate in an event."

"Participating in an event? Or doing business?"

Hearing this, the woman felt much more at ease.

She was genuinely afraid of how to deal with it.

It's important to understand that the detectors currently used by Dossoles are among the most advanced available... they may not be as cutting-edge as the world's best, but they are more than sufficient for normal tasks.

If the other side has truly demonstrated technology that cannot be detected... who knows what other technologies they might have.

Therefore, she is the last person who wants the other side to choose to start a war.

But judging from what my subordinate said... the other party doesn't seem to have any ill intentions?

However, we can't think of it that way entirely...

"Where are they now?"

"They should be in the reception room... They didn't do anything out of line."

The soldier continued speaking, his words subtly implying that he was speaking to the other party.

"My office?"

The woman frowned.

She stared intently at the soldier beside her, her calm eyes fixed on him until he felt a chill run down his spine before she looked away.

"In that case, gather the guards."

"I'd like to see who it is that's coming..."

The gathering of guards did not take long; soon, a group of well-dressed soldiers had assembled.

They are all over two meters tall on average, with strong bodies and resolute eyes; they are the most elite group of soldiers in Dossoles.

Upon seeing their arrival, the woman nodded, then made a few hand gestures before slowly pushing open the door to her office.

As soon as the door opened... a blast of cold air hit them.

What came into view was a woman in white who looked somewhat familiar to her...

"The Yeti Squad?!"

The woman almost involuntarily revealed the identity of the person in front of her.

The soldiers around them were stunned for a moment after hearing the words before they realized what the Yeti Squad was.

Although Bolivar and Ursus seem far apart, in reality, Ursus is a vast territory spanning Terra. While Bolivar doesn't directly border Ursus, there is some interaction between them. The Yeti Squad is a well-known group in the snowy plains, and they have heard of them. Ursus has also issued a stern warning that this person is Ursus major wanted criminal, and any organization or individual harboring him would be making an enemy of Ursus.

But at this moment... she's actually here?!

Why?!

"..."

FrostNova did not reply. Her eyes, which had widened slightly for a moment because the other party had recognized her, quickly narrowed back.

After nodding silently, she stepped aside, revealing the figure behind her.

The woman looked in the direction of her back.

Right at the far end of the office, two women were standing quietly.

The woman in the ladylike dress quietly lowered her head, closed her eyes, and turned gracefully to the side.

Her slightly drooping hair framed her porcelain-like, perfect face.

Facing them was a slender figure from behind...

"Um?"
