Chapter 1663: Insignificant Abilities
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The scale of the garage was not small. On the east side of the garage, there were several piles of car wreckage that looked like small hills. There were also a few military vehicles and runic machinery mixed inside. Their shells were riddled with holes.
On the west side, there was a three-story high repair workshop. Through the window, one could vaguely see the repair equipment inside. They were huge, as well as numerous, and they were flickering with dazzling sparks.
On the south side, there was a testing ground that was set up to imitate the wilderness. It was filled with obstacles and used specifically to test the extreme performance of off-road vehicles.
At that moment, there were several off-road vehicles that had been modified into strange shapes. They were rampaging in the waist-deep mud, and their crystal engines were all roaring like fierce beasts.
The north side was the entrance, where an old sign hung.
!!
Although it was rusty, it was obvious that it was made of thick armor plates. It emanated a faint smell of metal and gunpowder.
One could observe that this garage was high-tech, and business was booming. In just a few minutes, many customers had come to visit.
Plus, it was not strange for a high school teacher who drove a medium-grade family car to appear there.
Thanks to the rampant monsters, the private car insurance business in Dragon City had never been very developed.
Whenever a car was damaged, the owner would usually be responsible for the profit and loss.
Therefore, even the car’s seller had his or her own official repair point.
Private users would often drive their cars to a garage that was professional and relatively cheap.
Despite that, Meng Chao was certain something was wrong with this garage because the surveillance cameras there were too many, too new, and too high-tech.
Not only were the four corners of the garage equipped with state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, but the roads that went in and out of the garage were too.
Meng Chao also sensed extremely weak spirit waves in a few secretive corners.
Some rune instruments that were used for discreet monitoring were probably emitting them.
Also, more than ten modified SUVs with solid materials and expensive prices were parked next to the test field on the south side.
The outer shell and interior of several SUVs were made of high-grade raw materials such as the bones of Hell Beasts.
It made sense that the security measures were stricter.
Well, as far as Meng Chao could see, several grease-covered mechanics in overalls, carrying wrenches and screwdrivers. They had muscles cast in iron and copper under their thick denim overalls on top of crisscrossing scars and killing intent that could erupt at any time. The ferocity in their eyes could not be concealed despite their best efforts. How was he to explain all that?
“These mechanics are all experts who have gone through arduous training.”
Meng Chao was certain. “Mechanics often have to climb up and down. They also have to crawl under the chassis of the vehicles to work and use tools such as screwdrivers, wrenches, and the like for a long time. In addition, they have to come into contact with corrosive glue and spray for a long time. The calluses on their hands, the muscle memories formed from long-term work, and even their breathing patterns should not be like this.”
Meng Chao noticed that all the mechanics were busy with their work or greeting customers.
Yet, they remained in a formation of vigilance and surveillance.
They would casually turn their heads to talk, stretch their muscles, and yawn. But when their eyes met, the sharp glint that was produced sufficiently covered every inch of space in the garage.
Meng Chao could guarantee that any superhuman below the Deity Realm would be discovered by these maintenance workers or the monitoring system no matter how they sneaked in.
As for Deity Realm experts?
All the Deity Realm experts in Dragon City were big shots in the eyes of thousands of people. They lived under the spotlight twenty-four hours a day.
The moment any Deity Realm expert left his stronghold, all the major forces in the city would know his destination and his following schedule in less than five minutes.
If a god-like figure disappeared from public view for five minutes, and no one knew what he was about to do next, that meant something big was going to happen.
This garage must have gotten the message ahead of time and hidden everything necessary.
Obviously, if a god-like being who was not on their list visited out of the blue...
Forget this garage, even heavily-guarded military aircraft would not be able to defend against him.
Nevertheless, Meng Chao had no intention of sneaking into the garage.
The “university professor” who had just come into contact with Shen Yuanbiao half an hour ago was playing the role of an ordinary consumer.
His vehicle was not seriously damaged. It only needed to undergo simple sheet metal treatment.
To avoid arousing suspicion, he did not travel deep into the garage.
Instead, he chatted with a mechanic, whose face was covered in oil, in the open-air maintenance workshop near the gate.
He was surrounded by the roaring of crystal engines and the sound of metal being squeezed, stretched, and hammered.
It was difficult for an ordinary person to hear the conversation between the “university professor” and the mechanic.
Meng Chao’s ears, however, were like the most advanced radar. They could intercept, filter, and analyze thousands of different vibrations in the air, enabling him to hear every word the two said clearly.
At first glance, both of them were talking about repairing the vehicle.
The “university professor” did a rigid impression of someone meticulous and picky. He raised many questions about the maintenance worker’s skills and procedures.
The maintenance worker gradually became impatient. His voice grew increasingly loud, and he spat more and more. As a result, his face turned red, and his neck swelled up.
Even so, Meng Chao sensed that something was off.
It was as if there was a buzzing sound that was similar to a mosquito flapping its wings. The buzzing sound lingered around the two of them.
Then, he activated his super vision to the limit. His vision penetrated through the obstacles ahead, and he carefully scanned the area between the “university professor” and the maintenance worker’s chest as well as abdomen. Their breathing seemed to be particularly rapid. There was a very subtle high-frequency vibration between their chest and abdomen.
“This is...”
Meng Chao thought quickly and came to a realization. “This is some kind of ‘ventriloquism’ technique!
“On the surface, the two of them are talking about vehicle maintenance. Even if I stood behind them and listened, I wouldn’t be able to find any flaws in their conversation!
“In reality, they’re using the resonance between their chest and abdomen to send out special vibrations that are being transmitted to their ears. They’re able to let each other hear something else, which is what they really want to communicate about!”
Using the vibration of their vocal cords, as well as the resonance of their chests and abdomens, to transmit two sets of completely different information at the same time sounded somewhat unbelievable.
However, Meng Chao believed that if the other party was truly related to the Blood Alliance and had grasped the many mysteries excavated from the ancient ruins, such abilities were just child’s play.
