CHAPTER 302: CHAPTER 189: ENTERING THE GORGE - 190: HIGH TECHNOLOGY (TWO-IN-ONE)
The difficulty in forging the appearance isn’t too high; Xiao Moshan can manage it himself, but the core... that’s significantly more challenging.
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei’s mechanical manufacturing competence isn’t low, and he has plenty of tools, so he tried his best to imitate.
The slots on the arms of these mecha warriors are for reading the core, and they’ll sound an alarm if fake documents are detected.
There are three types of alarms: basic ones with light and sound alerts, advanced ones where the mecha warriors actively trigger a base alarm.
However, just with sound and light alerts, these guarding warriors can take action.
The red light flashed a few times and then stopped. Qu Jianlei sighed in relief: finally, no sound went off.
Xiao Moshan was quite clear about the process and also felt relieved.
The two mecha warriors exchanged glances, "Why did it look like a red light at first... and then like green?"
"Use my detector," the other mecha warrior removed the documents from the other’s arm.
These documents aren’t the usual universal canyon passes but are passes for entering and exiting Central City.
When people from the gorge come to Central City, sometimes they may lay low for many years or even generations, and also potentially face battles.
Documents may wear out or even get damaged, so an alarm from the detector... isn’t entirely unacceptable.
No sound alert indicates the documents aren’t very badly damaged, but the red turning green still requires a re-check.
Qu Jianlei was more confident this time, as among the spiritual techniques he has mastered, one is the Blinding Technique.
Strictly speaking, the Blinding Technique belongs to a type of Illusion Technique, and most Illusion Techniques require A-level to perform.
B-level Spiritual Attribute Warriors can master only a few illusion techniques, and the Blinding Technique isn’t typically mastered by ordinary B-levels.
Xiao Moshan strongly suggested Qu Jianlei cultivate this technique, but Qu Jianlei didn’t need his reminder anyway.
Now a different warrior inserted the documents into his own arm’s detector, seeing the green light steadily lit.
"Hmm, it’s green now," the other warrior made a soft noise and looked at the two across, "keep the documents safe next time."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, but Xiao Moshan rolled his eyes, "Didn’t see we’re already disabled? Having documents is already good enough."
The two warriors didn’t pay him any mind and took out a handheld instrument, scanned the wheelchair, and waved to let them pass.
Qu Jianlei pushed the wheelchair forward, walking almost half a kilometer, then turned a corner, revealing a large alloy gate ahead at the foot of the mountain.
The turning point is about half a kilometer from the gate.
Xiao Moshan couldn’t help but sigh, speaking quietly and expressionlessly, "Almost scared me to death... your level is still lacking."
"Already not bad, okay?" Qu Jianlei replied sulkily.
"You can’t even understand the detection mechanism, otherwise would I be struggling so much?"
"I’m a warrior!" Xiao Moshan replied without shifting his expression, "If it were a weapon, I could at least maintain it somewhat."
"These everyday devices, as long as I can use them, why do I need to understand the principles? Do you really think I’m as idle as you?"
"Is this called idle?" Qu Jianlei retorted helplessly, losing interest in arguing.
"Enough," Xiao Moshan murmured without moving his lips, "don’t talk, there might be recording equipment now."
Weren’t you the one talking all along? Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes helplessly again.
Approaching the alloy gate entrance, the two placed their documents in the slot on the door.
Luckily, this door’s recognition system is a bit cruder than the mecha warriors’ detector, and the door silently slid open to both sides.
Inside was a spacious hall, brightly lit, with a very solid and level floor.
At the end of the hall was another door, and the two swiped their cards to enter again.
After entering, they were in a sealed space, about four meters high, three meters wide, and five meters long.
The door behind them slowly closed, and Xiao Moshan raised his hand to swipe the card again.
The sealed space began to move, gradually from slow to fast, but the acceleration wasn’t significant, barely noticeable inside.
Qu Jianlei felt like taking an elevator on Blue Star, but with monitoring systems in the space, it wasn’t possible to discuss anything.
In the space, the two idly stayed inside, even too lazy to speak.
After roughly twenty minutes, the space stopped, revealing another door ahead.
The door opened, revealing another spacious hall, with its large door wide open.
Outside the door, about fifty to sixty meters away, sat two ordinary people, a man and a woman.
No mistake, just ordinary people, appearance quite unremarkable—even by Wasteland standards, they barely count as medium.
Qu Jianlei had heard from Xiao Moshan long ago, yet couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
It’s said that people have different fates, and some are born winners.
As Xiao Moshan said, once the two checked the documents, they let them pass directly.
Qu Jianlei quietly glanced around, there were indeed seven or eight similar doors.
However, the door the two came out from was noticeably different from the other doors.

Chapter 190 High-Tech (Second update dedicated to Master Fat Fox)
Qu Jianlei glanced around, seemingly out of instinctive behavior, and neither the man nor the woman took notice.
The two walked out the door, where two modified warriors took their passes and directly stamped them with a metal mark.
Simply put, the hardest part was finally over, and the two successfully snuck into the gorge.
After stamping, Qu Jianlei pushed Xiao Moshan, walking through the last door.
Outside the door, cars were parked in rows in a spacious parking lot, most having unified markings.
These with unified markings are public taxis—Qu Jianlei couldn’t help but recall Blue Star’s "shared bikes."
