349: Why did the super potion leak?

The members of the Enforcement Team were enraged when they heard the young man's curses. One of the Enforcement Team members shouted, "Enough! We won't arrest you without evidence!"

The young man couldn't move, but he turned his head to Tian Ming and said, "General Manager Lu, you must uphold justice for me. I didn't steal any Superpower Potion, nor did I forge any ID cards! I'm just a delivery person. You can check; I'm a delivery driver for Starcross Delivery."

The area enclosed by the base's ground wall was more than twice the size of Beidu. The former Donghai City was basically all enclosed within it. With such a large area and over two million people, many resided within the walls or in the buildings of Donghai City.

The young man was not lying; there was indeed a delivery service similar to express delivery within the base. Currently, the key defensive areas were naturally the Underground City and the important production plants above it. As for other places, they were not within the monitoring scope of Defense Point Three.

"Number Three, report this person's identity information to me!"

Number Three quickly retrieved the personnel information. In a moment, the young man's information appeared before Tian Ming's eyes.

Looking at the young man's information, Tian Ming frowned slightly. Indeed, according to the system, this young man named Chen Fei was a delivery driver for Starcross Delivery and had no criminal record. Starcross Delivery, which he mentioned, was a new logistics company within the base, mainly responsible for express delivery services within the base.

Tian Ming raised a hand, and the carbon fiber restraints binding Chen Fei instantly disappeared. Chen Fei immediately stood up and wiped the blood from his face. The blood on his face was actually a nosebleed. He roughly wiped it with his clothes, and the members of the Enforcement Team immediately stepped forward and handcuffed him.

An Enforcement Team member said to Tian Ming, "General Manager Lu, we busted an illegal market selling supplies in the southern area near the wall. Moreover, we found a large amount of prohibited items, including Superpower Potion injection base liquid and many forged ID cards. These ID cards were linked to the ID accounts of deceased members and could be used for points transactions and redemptions within the system."

Tian Ming frowned. Although the entire base adopted a points system, which was equivalent to digital currency, the population had surged from tens of thousands to over two million. Initially, facial recognition and iris scans were used for encryption, but later, due to the large number of personnel, temporary ID cards were adopted to quickly settle these people.

These ID cards could also be used for Shelter points transactions. From the alliance's migration to Donghai City, while the Shelter was being built, many tasks did not keep up. Subsequently, the Comprehensive Management Department focused more on construction matters, and the collection of personnel's biometric information progressed slowly. Later, nearly 600,000 new personnel were still using ID cards.

When Number Three explained the whole story, Tian Ming immediately understood. His face instantly darkened, and he looked at the Enforcement Team member, saying, "Let's go. Take me to your headquarters. I remember that the work of managing public security personnel information is handled by you. For such a thing to happen, you, who are in charge of public security, are to blame."

The Enforcement Team member dared not retort and nodded repeatedly. They escorted Chen Fei and walked towards the Enforcement Bureau. Tian Ming followed behind them.

As soon as he entered, Director Han, as the head, came to greet him. Director Han naturally knew why Tian Ming had come and said apologetically, "Boss, you're here?"

"I remember that your department is in charge of personnel information within the base, right? Why are there still free markets like this appearing now?" Tian Ming's expression was not good. He had initially thought that there would be no problems with personnel information, which was why he wanted to establish an online community and develop an internet economy.

Now, with such a huge loophole, if ID cards could be forged, then strong online identity authentication would become a mere decoration. Director Han did not refute and said, "Boss, let's go somewhere else. I'll explain this matter to you properly."

"Alright!"

Tian Ming nodded and followed Director Han to a conference room. Director Han motioned for Tian Ming to sit down, then took a deep breath and began to explain.

"Boss, the temporary ID cards were my idea. At that time, the population surged, and to facilitate management and establish order as quickly as possible, it was a stopgap measure," Director Han explained.

Tian Ming asked, "Currently, how many registered people are there?"

"There are over 1.3 million, and another 600,000 people are still using ID cards. Boss, the area you enclosed is too large, do you know that? We simply don't have enough people to manage it," Director Han couldn't help but complain.

Tian Ming frowned and said, "What do you mean, the area I enclosed is too large?"

Director Han said with a bitter smile, "An area of 125,600 square kilometers. If we calculate it based on a small county town's urban area of 20 square kilometers, the enclosed area can fit 6,280 small county town urban areas of 300,000 people. With such a large territory, our public security enforcement force of merely 5,000 people means each person has to manage more than a small county town. Currently, the Underground City is easier to manage, and the personnel settled within the city walls are also easier to manage, but other places are like playing hide-and-seek."

Tian Ming's expression softened slightly and he said, "Hmm, now that you put it that way, it is indeed a bit difficult. The remaining information entry must be sped up. Do not let things like fake ID cards appear again. After personnel are entered, all temporary identity documents will be canceled. For 600,000 people, I'll give you one month."

"Boss, don't you understand? It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't find these people. The Underground City currently only has 300,000 people. Over 1.7 million people are on the surface, mixing together, and some have even hidden in the urban areas of Donghai City. They are clearly resisting information entry, otherwise, I would have finished it long ago."

Tian Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, tomorrow, you arrange information entry points. Each point will have three personnel with equipment for iris and fingerprint collection. A total of 500 entry points will be set up. I will have Number Three dispatch 10,000 robots to join public security management to help you gather the personnel. Then, have Meng Xian assist you with mobile phone distribution. You may not be able to distinguish who has been recorded and who hasn't, but the robots can."

Upon hearing this, Director Han nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, I'll go arrange it now."

"Wait, I haven't finished speaking yet, what's your hurry?"

Tian Ming stopped Director Han and continued, "I ask you, why did Superpower Potion appear in the free market? Who got it out? All Ability Users, including those who injected it, must be registered. Don't you understand this?"

Director Han's heart trembled, and she said, "Boss, of course I understand this matter. I have already asked Meng Zong to assist in the investigation. There must be a problem with the potion management warehouse, and Meng Zong is also investigating it."
