Clearly, compared with this Su Youzong on screen, Yu Zhou was even a notch below.

That was enough to show that this Su Youzong had an extraordinary background.

“He’s strong!”

“Not only is his physical fitness extremely strong, his control of his body is even stronger!”

At last, seeing the figure climb a half-finished building in two or three moves, then leap across to the opposite side without slowing down at all,

Yu Zhou, however unwilling, could only quietly sum it up and begin operating. By the rules, everyone standing here and continuing to watch, through the earlier window, surveillance data of Su Youzong at the gray threat level already counted as a violation of regulations.

After all, if this Su Youzong were carrying an important mission from the Northern Military Region and was currently carrying it out,

then what everyone was doing now would fully count as prying into secrets.

If no one stepped forward to stop it, even he as captain might have to bear some responsibility. Therefore,

Yu Zhou decisively shut off the surveillance video directly and, in for a penny, in for a pound, even tried to delete and destroy the traces.

But unfortunately, just as the earlier prompt had said, the moment he started, another prompt rang out.

“Deletion failed. The current file is under seal processing by a level-nine authority holder, Hope City Mayor Chen Shen. No other personnel currently have the right to delete or destroy it.”

“If you wish to destroy it, please report according to regulations. You may operate after approval is granted. The specific procedure is...”

This time, most of the words in the prompt were unchanged. Only the subject had changed slightly,

from Northern Military Region Commander Feng Tianmin to Hope City Mayor Chen Shen.

But the influence it carried made everyone present feel as if sitting on needles. Almost the moment the words lit up, countless hearty-sounding excuses followed one after another.

“Ahaha, I suddenly remembered something I have to attend to. I’m off.”

“Yes, yes, tonight I have to build a disaster model. Look at my memory, I actually forgot!”

“Same here, let’s go together!”

“The Expansion Department said this afternoon that they’d come to us for data, and I forgot again. Now I’ll have to work overtime.”

Stared at by two big shots at once, the researchers were no fools, and they fled as fast as rabbits. In under five seconds, only the two team members he had first brought remained at Yu Zhou’s side.

But now, even those two did not look good, and like schoolchildren who had done wrong, they did not know what to do.

“Captain Yu, what do we do? Should we file a report?”

Other places might not know how much subtle friction and conflict there was between the Chen Clan, represented by Chen Shen, and the Northern Military Region, represented by Feng Tianmin.

But as a supervisory department, they knew it perfectly.

Before September of the sixth year of the wasteland, the two towering figures of the territory, though far apart, had always kept to a rhythm of meeting once every two months.

But from January of the seventh year of the wasteland until now, June of the eighth year,

in those eighteen months, Feng Tianmin and Chen Shen had not met even once.

From the earliest small frictions to what it had grown into today, the Inspectorate had no qualification to manage it and no authority to manage it.

After all, as a supervisory body, all they could do was oversee corruption.

As for the real tug-of-war over power and the contests in the dark, even if they knew, they could only pretend to be blind.

“You two go back. I’ll go find Chief Pei.”

“I have a feeling that this time it may not be as simple as we thought. After all, the Northern Military Region...”

He stopped midway, held back the second half well, and stood up with a solemn face.

Now, in Tian Yuan Territory, after “that person” disappeared and things developed up to the present, five separately governed powers still remained.

First, the political affairs department headed by Chen Shen and assisted by the Chen Clan.

In every city, every county, every village and town in the whole of Tian Yuan Territory, the figure of the Chen Clan could be found.

They were mainly responsible for urban development and economic promotion, guarding the territory’s purse.

Second, the Northern Military Region, headed by Feng Tianmin and assisted by generals such as Feng Long, Du Shi, Wang Yang and others.

They held sixty percent of the territory’s fighting strength, with eighty thousand armored warriors, a force that could not be ignored at all.

Third, the Academy of Sciences, headed by Ji Yang and assisted by Bai Yiqi, Song Kai and others.

They controlled the four giant companies in the territory, constantly using the funds gathered back to develop new equipment.

What the Inspectorate Bureau used now, for example, all came from the Academy of Sciences.

Fourth, the Inspectorate Bureau, headed by Pei Shao and assisted by Xing Danxia and Gongsun Lianke.

As the supervisory department, it was responsible for checking the first three, ensuring that the territory’s slight balance would not be broken.

Fifth were the murlocs of the Western Military Region, whose fighting strength was fairly decent.

As the alien faction within the territory, they firmly guarded the coastline and basically took little part in running the territory.

In the past, the other three parties had mostly not participated in the constant disputes between the Northern Military Region and the Chen Clan.

But beginning this year, as the murlocs started to lean toward Chen Shen, the Academy of Sciences, for some reason, began to throw its strong support behind the Northern Military Region.

Two against two, and only the Inspectorate Bureau could stay out of it.

But now, with no idea what would happen in the future, from this Su Youzong Yu Zhou smelled a distinct whiff of gunpowder.

Fearing that the Inspectorate Bureau would be dragged into the melee, and unable to figure out exactly what to do, all Yu Zhou could do was hurry off to report to Bureau Chief Pei Shao.
