Nie Xuan's expression also became serious, "Do you have any evidence?"
"No, just my intuition," replied Xu Huo, impassively. "You can choose to believe it or not."
Nie Xuan believed that Xu Huo wasn't one to make baseless claims, and after a moment of thought, he said, "I will find a way to verify your suspicion."
Xu Huo smiled and nodded. It wasn't that he didn't want to provide more direct proof, it was that he genuinely lacked evidence at the moment. However, the fact that an Artifact Maker would enter the zone before the zone and the game fully merged was enough to illustrate some issues. At the very least, that type of ore resource was a very important asset. Even if Zone 014 didn't currently have precise information on the ore's location and usage, the emergence of The New Energy District could signify changes happening quietly within Zone 014. It wasn't impossible for special mineral resources to arise later than expected.
