Chapter 1085: Chapter 761: Hanging a Sheep’s Head [03]
"I mean, Marcus Shaw and Oliver are arriving tomorrow. How about letting them test it?"
"How will they test?"
Before the sister and brother-in-law next door could speak, April Thomason, who was eagerly listening to the gossip, was the first to speak up.
Fátima glanced sideways at her.
April Thomason coughed lightly, "Curious, just purely curious."
"You’ll know when the time comes."
Fátima played a riddle.
Nora Scott, who originally wasn’t too interested in knowing, suddenly became intrigued after hearing their conversation. However, no matter how she asked, Fátima wouldn’t say more, so Nora Scott had to let it go.
— What she’s curious about is that, in terms of Mechanical Techniques or skills, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott fall short compared to her and Hardy Rivers’ team; in terms of drones, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott fall short compared to Pedro Langley and his team; as for combat value, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott are nothing compared to the people Fátima brought.
How did it come to Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott "testing"?
Fátima doesn’t like idle talk; every word she speaks along the way with Nora Scott and the others hits the mark.
She started by introducing a few noteworthy people from the external group, but before she said much, seeing Nora Scott getting sleepy, she simply explained the arrangements for the next few days to give Nora Scott some idea.
However, Nora Scott didn’t think much of it.
But Pedro Langley quietly noted it down for her.
As they chatted, they arrived outside the tent.
"This is your tent, it’s a bit further from the external group. We’ll set up some tents around here later, Rivers and his people will stay nearby when they arrive," Fátima briefly introduced.
Hardy Rivers and Daniel Ford are responsible for the model of Mechanism City.
Although a dedicated technical team is stationed here, Hardy Rivers and Daniel Ford don’t have time to stay here; they participate in this project whenever they can, so they’ll only come over when the entrance to Mechanism City is opened and some special spots need them.
— Of course, they will definitely be there on the day Mechanism City is unveiled.
— Such a spectacular event, with the opportunity to personally witness it, no one would want to miss it.
"Hmm." Nora Scott nodded and then asked, "When will Rivers arrive?"
"In two more days, he’s a bit busy with another project,"
"Oh."
"Get some rest first, we’ll discuss things tomorrow."
Nora Scott was about to respond but then remembered her two brothers in Anchel, so she asked, "What time are Marcus Shaw and Oliver arriving?"
Apparently, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott wanted to come over early, so they rushed to finish up their tasks and should be able to come within a day or two.
However—
Nora Scott only knew about the approximate time.
After all, having Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott, who have little connection to the project and were only slightly involved, come over definitely requires approval. So, Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott are directly coordinating with Fátima, who knows their schedule better than Nora Scott.
"Just tomorrow," Fátima said, "depending on what time they arrive, I’ll send a special plane to pick them up."
The so-called "special plane" refers to the helicopter that Nora Scott and Pedro Langley arrived on.
Only someone like Fátima would casually call this helicopter a "special plane."
"Alright."
Nora Scott nodded.
With that, the four of them said their goodbyes at the entrance of the tent. Nora Scott and Pedro Langley entered the tent, while Fátima and April Thomason returned the way they came to their tent.
Though they were camping outside, water resources were relatively precious, but fortunately, there was a village nearby, so at least normal living water was provided. The camp had six bathhouses, two for each sector, divided by male and female. Hot water was available from six to midnight every evening.
Everyone received the same treatment.
Nora Scott and Pedro Langley quickly tidied up, then went to the bathhouse to take a shower, returning to the tent fresh and clean.
However—
Upon entering the tent, Pedro Langley immediately grabbed Nora Scott’s arm and cautioned, "Someone’s been here."
