New Gods of North America.

Chapter 516 Night Visit
Since there were still a lot of evidence and prisoners in the temporary base that needed to be protected, the collection and matching of fingerprints had not been completed, and now the three partners were out, Wayne and his team did not have many people with them at the moment.
Connor had hoped to come along tonight, but as the arena champion of the detective agency's first season, his partners were not at home, so he had to cooperate with Doug and the others to guard the house.

Fortunately, Mr. Molière's Frank agent bodyguards were of good quality and could barely make up for the vacancy of his partner.

According to Connor's evaluation from his informal fights with them, four of them were "good" and one was "quite good" - given his personality, the latter was at least the type that he needed to pay a certain "price" or be in a "non-sparring state" to defeat. For example, the current arena leader Damon MacCready was currently evaluated in this way by Connor.

Wayne's two carriages and six people arrived at the so-called "Castallo Community" in the middle of the night.
At first glance, this place looks a bit like a closed industrial park, with walls and gates outside, and iron chains at the entrances and exits to block carriages. The houses inside are all small single-family wooden houses, and there are also some places like factories, warehouses, teaching buildings, and small churches.
But at least it doesn't look like a prison. At least there are no armed guards standing by the big gate on the wall.

Several heads gathered on a small hill outside the wall.
Wayne looked out over the brightly lit community inside and described the mission:
"Our scheduled goal tonight is to confirm the environment and investigate the basic situation in the community. After everyone goes in separately, in principle, they are free to move around, but they mainly focus on covert reconnaissance and self-protection, and return before dawn. Afterwards, you need to submit the corresponding information and finally compile it into a map.

"If something unexpected happens and they may be arrested by the community security patrol officers, they will set off yellow fireworks in time. Sanders, who is guarding the carriage, will be responsible for communicating as a 'special police officer' and try to take the person away peacefully. I will also try to meet him on the road.

"If you have clearly provoked the enemy's hostility and are forced to engage in a firefight, then set off red fireworks. In this case, you are no longer allowed to reveal your identity. You can fight back but try to avoid causing too many casualties and try to get away as soon as possible. If you are caught, we will also find a way to rescue you secretly."

A simple little square was drawn on the soil. Lina was in a good mood at the moment and handed the small wooden stick to Liam generously, "One direction for each person, you choose first."

Inissa is not suitable for close combat in "peaceful mode", and of course it is not suitable for close combat after entering "non-peaceful mode", so she is mainly responsible for finding suitable commanding heights, mastering the overall route and general layout of the community, keeping a distance and making a circle, and there is no need to explore too deeply. As for the details, others will fill in.
Liam sensibly chose the direction that required the longest detour, while "Chameleon" chose the one that was close to him. Finally, Wayne and Lina each chose one, and with Sanders, who looked the most macho, as the reserve team, they were basically complete.

A hook was stuck on the top of the wall, and Wayne quickly climbed over the wall from his side. When he landed, he bent his waist and legs, half-crouched to reduce the impact and noise, and reached out to steady his hat.
Then a few "little tips" quickly fell on the back of Wayne's hand, and then bounced away lightly. Wayne looked to the side and saw that Lina had quietly landed beside him.

"Shouldn't you start in that direction?" Wayne asked.

"Well. It suddenly occurred to me that it would be boring to go out for some fresh air without a companion. Anyway, we have free time and this place is not very big. We can just walk around half a circle and head over there."

All right, men and women work together, and the work is not tiring...

To be fair, the size of this community is not too small. According to statistics, there are more than 120 households, which is above the average size for a small town in the west.
However, compared to Blackrock Town, the residential area here is planned to be a bit "crowded" and "neat". Although there is a lawn in front of the gate of each detached wooden house and the roads are straight and level, it looks quite organized at first glance, but it always makes people feel that there are some shortcomings, as if they were copied and pasted.

There aren't many street lights in the community. Occasionally, you'll see patrol officers with lanterns. Their uniforms are similar to those of the Richmond police, but the colors are slightly different. Judging from their skin color, they should be the original inhabitants of the area.

I randomly selected two lucky families and went in to take a look. They seemed to be no different from ordinary white families. The layout of the wooden houses was indeed the same. There was a holy emblem hanging in the dining room, and the staple food in the cupboard was bread instead of corn kernels.

However, from the coat rack next to the door, you can still see aboriginal-style feather hats, decorations and fur coats. In the utility room under the stairs, there are also "wind chimes" made of thin bones, as well as homemade bows and arrows and other items full of aboriginal characteristics. Maybe they are hidden in the dark because they don't match the overall style of the house, or someone doesn't allow them to be displayed publicly. Lina looked around the house and soon found a small secret compartment in the kitchen. Inside was a strange thing made of fish bones, animal bones, feathers and teeth, but judging from the style, it should belong to a relatively primitive nature worship.

The hidden things in another house were even more exaggerated. There was also an extra wooden painted oil lamp in the shape of a human face or a ghost face. Lina used a small kerosene lamp with a cover to look at it, but probably thought it was boring, so she quickly pulled Wayne to move to another place.

Walking along this residential area towards the "Community Center", there is a small square surrounded by many buildings.

The church looked like a Holy Spirit Church and there didn't seem to be anything interesting to see. Next to it was probably a meeting hall or management center. It was dark at the moment. The small hospital seemed to be still open for business. Wayne and Lina popped out from under the window sill, took a look, and then passed by.

Going further to the area that Lina was supposed to be in charge of, we came to the "big factory area" in the community. This broken place actually had high walls, and it seemed that the factory had not stopped working even in the middle of the night. There were still lights and faint mechanical sounds.

As soon as the two of them climbed into the factory, they looked at each other, and their spiritual intuition sensed the existence of extraordinary power.

There is a colorful totem pole in the dead corner next to it. It looks like the heads of different animals are stacked together. The eyes painted on it are all round from top to bottom, and there are a pair of small wings near the top.

Lina and Big Spider Peter were still observing it, wondering if there were any valuable parts on it. This time it was her turn to be pulled away by Wayne, "We are here to check the situation. No vandalism is allowed."

The guards on this side of the factory were a little stricter, but it was still not very well guarded. There was a strange smell in the workshop. Wayne was wondering what was going on here, and then he soon found the answer. It turned out to be one of the top water polluters these days, the tanning industry.

The leather tanned by the natives seems to be more genuine animal leather. There are also some leather bags and belts piled up in the finished product warehouse. The styles are ordinary, but they are mainly sturdy and reliable. Wayne pulled them hard and felt that the quality was not bad. If there is a chance, he may consider buying a batch and equipping the agents.

I was just about to figure out the functions of other buildings in the factory area, when a bright light flashed from the distance outside the window, and flew into the sky with a faint trail.
"Help—Bang!"

The fireworks then spread out in a bright red color.

Ok? !

Wayne took out a handkerchief and covered his face quickly, wondering in his heart, who has stepped on a landmine again? !
