Last night, Iron Anchor Shipping Company in Green Forest Port detected activated electronic signals from a missing container, but the signal was lost again during tracking.
According to an undercover informant from our newspaper, company executives suspect that the person who stole their goods must be one of the district factions, with primary suspicion falling on the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
In response, the company has shifted their investigation focus onto the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
If this suspicion is confirmed, the company will definitely launch a strong counterattack.

Dani from the 'Hyena' organization received a covert signal from their leader yesterday. Due to the failed ambush operation by Thug Prison and Burning Fortress against Black Shield Police Department, they suspect it was a setup coordinated with Black Shield Police Department.
They are now issuing a bounty order to all scavengers in the district - for every 'Hyena' member killed, rewards can be claimed from Thug Prison.
Even more critically, Black Shield Police Department has also launched pursuit operations against them.
Dani can now only hide in the communication passage of Qiu Yan subway station tunnel in District 15, hoping to escape this disaster.

According to investigations by our undercover reporter.
Last night, Thug Prison welcomed a mysterious person of unknown identity. Thug Prison leader Habaar and Deputy Warden Baku went together to receive him, showing respectful and humble attitudes.
The three conspired together until this morning before the mysterious person departed.
Subsequently, Habaar announced Thug Prison would enter pre-battle status, while Baku rushed to the northern wilderness.

"Looking for evidence? What a coincidence! I have some!"
Yu Yuan glanced at the electronic tracker in Taotao Hole.
He had previously planned to find an opportunity to throw this electronic tracker to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association, to see if he could use some Diverting Disaster Eastward tactics.
After all, he still had a Regional Event task hanging over his head!
Relying solely on himself to infiltrate Johnck Zoo was almost impossible.
Only with third-party forces intervening would he have a chance to get inside.
He just never expected that without him needing to frame anyone, Iron Anchor Shipping Company had already planted seeds of suspicion toward the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Perfect!
Then why shouldn't he go with the flow!!!
However, he still needed to choose the timing for presenting this evidence.
It had to be when it could cause maximum damage to the Aurora Animal Assistance Association.
Yu Yuan felt this opportunity would come when Thug Prison and Burning Fortress attacked Black Shield Police Department.
With them restraining Black Shield Police Department and attracting the Aurora Animal Assistance Association's attention.
Iron Anchor Shipping Company would have a higher chance of breaking into Johnck Zoo.
Only then could he sneak in during the chaos to complete his Regional Event task.
Yu Yuan's gaze turned to the third news item.
"Just the arrival of a mysterious person made the news quality reach Bronze level, and could make both Thug Prison leaders treat him so respectfully. Could it be... there's someone behind Thug Prison?"
Yu Yuan felt that the situation in the eastern city was becoming increasingly complex and interesting.
Today was his 16th day in the wasteland world. After checking today's news, Yu Yuan prepared to return to his battle with the safe.
But before that, he took out the Escape Key, opened the escape door, and entered the Starry Sky Observatory carrying that bag of humus soil.
Yu Yuan came to the open-air observation platform, cleared a space.
After spreading two bedsheets on the ground, he poured the humus soil onto them, spreading it evenly to a thickness no more than two or three centimeters.
By this time, the sun had already risen, warm sunlight shining on the humus soil.
"The weather is nice today. A few days of sun exposure like this should do the trick."
Yu Yuan had never grown plants before, but he knew some basic common sense - before planting, try to sun-expose the humus soil as much as possible.
The ultraviolet rays in sunlight can effectively kill bacteria and insect eggs in the soil.
With current limited conditions, this was the only method available.
After meeting Dale tomorrow, he planned to seriously consult him about this.
Returning to the shelter, Yu Yuan heard running sounds coming from the generator room and smiled.
He never expected that Mie Mie actually had the potential for what he'd developed as a Power Generation Sacred Body.
Every day after eating, drinking, and resting for a while, she would go to the Treadmill Generator Room to run.
And after Yu Yuan confirmed that running wouldn't affect normal outdoor exploration, he let Mie Mie play as she pleased!
Although daily green grass consumption had doubled, compared to electricity, why would he care about that?
Since Mie Mie developed this current hobby.
Even though the shelter's facilities had been upgraded with significantly increased daily power consumption, power storage had always remained above 85%.
Yu Yuan had only run once on the day the Treadmill Generator Room upgrade was completed, and never stepped on the treadmill again after that.
All credit went to Mie Mie.
Yu Yuan didn't plan to rest either. Since gaining the 'Abundant Kidney Qi' BUFF, his energy recovery speed had become very fast.
He came before the safe and began a new round of lock picking.
District 14, Opera Building.
After a busy night, Nightingale had cleaned up last night's battle traces and maintained hygiene. Girls and guys had returned to the rest area.
"Finally able to rest! I'm exhausted from last night!"
"Yeah! That guy last night was really disgusting, gnawing on me for half the night, leaving bite marks all over."
"Then give him to me! I don't mind!"
"You bitch, still trying to steal my clients? Give him to you? In your dreams!"
Qingqing lay on the bed, listening to the women around her, but her gaze discreetly watched a woman standing outside the door talking with someone.
—Sister Mei
That is, Luo Mei!
She felt the bracelet in her pocket.
"If what that guy said is true, that Fries had a secret residence here, then Sister Mei would be the most likely to know about it. But five or six days have passed already, and Sister Mei hasn't shown any unusual behavior!"
As she was thinking, she noticed Sister Mei leaving the rest area.
And the direction she left was actually... the back door!
Qingqing detected this anomaly and immediately got up. After confirming Sister Mei had left through the back door.
She went to the second-floor bathroom, curled up behind the window, and personally watched Sister Mei enter a small alley.
Watching Sister Mei's figure disappear at the alley entrance, Qingqing suddenly remembered not long ago, right before Fries was killed.
By accident, she overheard a conversation between Fries and Sister Mei.
"At that time, they seemed to be talking about... a basement?" Qingqing pressed her lips tightly, frowning as she recalled.
When the two saw her approaching, they immediately stopped talking. Fries showed a disgusted expression, and Sister Mei also scolded and cursed at her.
At that time, she just wanted to leave quickly and didn't pay attention to those details.
After thinking for a while, she still had no leads.
"Whatever, since I found out where Sister Mei went, the rest isn't my business."
Qingqing directly gave up and turned to leave this place.
As for what would happen to Sister Mei afterwards, she didn't care at all.
Usually, she had suffered plenty of bullying from Sister Mei.
"Hmph, it would be better if she died!"
