However, compared to Little Four, who was like a fish in water and could come and go as he pleased, Ling Lan, who had snuck into the base alone and clung to the wall in a blind spot where the guard at the entrance couldn't see, was in a difficult situation.
Ling Lan knew that the security in the base would be very tight but she didn't expect it to be this tight. Underground, on the path that led to the base, there were almost one guard every three steps. It wasn't something that could be done with a simple calculation if he wanted to evade these people's eyes.
"This is so troublesome." Ling Lan knew that the longer she waited, the higher the chance of her being exposed. She had no choice but to give it her all.
Ling Lan's body started to flow down like water. She disappeared. Ling Lan couldn't hide from these people so she could only enter her domain mode and let her body fuse with her domain element.
Ling Lan's domain element was ice. In reality, ice was also the water element. Ling Lan was already able to change between the three forms of the water element a year ago. However, Ling Lan knew that she had to keep this as a trump card so she didn't tell anyone about it. Even when she fought with her opponents, she didn't use the other two forms besides the ice form. During the escort mission, when she was fighting with a domain realm master, she had no choice but to use it once because she wanted to merge with the rain.
However, after that domain realm master was killed by her, there was no possibility of it being leaked.
This was the second time she used it. Not only did she use the normal form of the water element, she also used the other form of the water element, the gaseous form.
The water that flowed down from the wall was converted into a gaseous form before it could get out of the blind spot. Ling Lan was afraid that if she switched too quickly, the water elements would condense too much in the air and form a mist, so she controlled the speed of the switch. Just like that, after about a minute or so, the water flow that Ling Lan had started switching completely disappeared from the wall without a trace.
"Ah Lian, do you feel that the air in the base is much better today?" The two guards next to each other who had been on guard duty seemed to be familiar with each other. One of them suddenly sniffed the air and asked his partner not far away.
"Isn't it about the same?" Not everyone was so sensitive to the quality of the air. This person called Ah Lian obviously did not feel anything.
"It's not that dry anymore." The person who spoke at the beginning expressed his feelings. The underground was cold and damp. Once the humidity exceeded the designated warning level, it would affect the sturdiness of the base. In order to prevent this, the base's mainframe had always kept the base dry.
"Maybe the mainframe didn't adjust the air to water ratio that low," Ah Lian replied nonchalantly. To him, this was normal.
"That makes sense. If only the mainframe would set this ratio in the future." The guard who liked the humidity couldn't help but say.
"It's not impossible. The researchers at the base probably provided new data to the mainframe. Hopefully, it will be accepted after some adjustments," Ah Lian comforted him.
Ling Lan was drenched in cold sweat as she brushed past the two of them. She hadn't expected that these guards, whose auras were unstable but had indeed entered the Qi-Jin stage, would actually be so sensitive to air. If it wasn't for the fact that they hadn't thought of other possibilities, she might have been exposed.
Ling Lan safely passed through the tunnel and finally entered the base. Seeing the bird's eye view of the entire underground base that Little Four gave her, Ling Lan couldn't help but be shocked by how big this organization was. To be able to build such a huge base without the military and government on Planet Azure noticing, this organization was not simple. No wonder the Federation placed so much importance on this mission and didn't hesitate to send a monster from Long Xiang to investigate …
With Little Four's guidance, Ling Lan didn't waste any time walking around the base. She directly went to the most heavily guarded areas. As she walked through the areas, Ling Lan's anger reached its limit.
"This base must be destroyed. This organization must be uprooted," Ling Lan said to Little Four as she walked out of a laboratory.
Little Four was also shocked by the experiments in front of him. The cruel human experiments that only appeared in books and history books actually appeared in this base. The experiments were even more cruel than the ones in the books because they were using underage children.
"Now, I finally understand why there are so many domain realm masters outside." Ling Lan was originally very afraid of this base. Along the way, the guards in the center of the base all exuded domain auras. She was already surprised. Since when did domain realm masters become so common? Now, she got the answer from these laboratories. These domain realm masters were all modified using advanced technology.
She thought back to when she killed the domain realm master who captured Xiao Yiqiu. Although she purposely hid her aura, she didn't use too much strength in her attack to prevent the domain realm master from detecting it. At that time, she just wanted to injure the domain realm master when he wasn't paying attention. Then, she continued her attack. However, reality was out of her expectations. Her attack actually easily broke through the domain realm master's defense and directly pierced through his chest.
At that time, she already felt that something was wrong. However, she was pressed for time so she didn't have time to think about it. Now that she thought about it, although these modified domain realm masters had some domain concept, they had a very obvious flaw. This flaw seemed to be in their defense. Of course, she might have only met one type of domain realm master. If she wanted to know more, she needed to find a few more domain realm masters created by the base and test them.
At that moment, Ling Lan couldn't help but think of Qiao Ting. That time in Soldier City, she used high-pressure methods to force Qiao Ting to have no choice but to activate his domain. He successfully broke through the barrier and advanced into the domain realm. However, that domain was later proven to not be a real domain. It was just a pseudo domain and wasn't stable. In order for this pseudo domain to be stable and successfully enter the real domain realm, it would require a few years of hard work and experience to understand more domain concepts.
Compared to Qiao Ting's domain, other than the fact that the elements in his domain were unstable and the power of his domain concept wasn't as strong as a real domain realm master's, there were no intrinsic flaws. From the looks of it, the domain realm masters created by this base were undoubtedly a joke. Their domains were just pseudo domains.
Pseudo was fake!
"Little Four, have you gathered all the evidence?" Ling Lan roughly looked around. However, there were some auras that made her wary so she didn't go near them.
"Don't worry, Boss. It's all recorded. No matter if it's photos or videos, they've all been prepared." If it wasn't for the fact that there weren't any surveillance cameras installed in these mysterious laboratories, Boss wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. It looked like this base was also afraid that their human experiments would be discovered. Thus, they didn't dare to leave behind any videos or photos. They didn't even dare to install surveillance cameras.
All they could find were written documents. The words in these documents were very strange. It didn't seem to be any language in this world. They might have come up with it themselves. This way, only they would know the contents of the documents. There was no possibility of it being exposed.
Little Four downloaded all these documents. He looked at a few pages and felt like he was reading a heavenly book. He couldn't understand anything. However, this wasn't a problem. With his powerful calculation ability, he would be able to figure out the rules of this heavenly book and then find out the real contents.
Ling Lan quickly retreated from the interior of the base. She found a relatively safe place in the forest and sent the documents to the number that the military had sent her.
From afar, a major from the Federation military who had been staring at this number finally saw the documents being sent in. He instantly shouted excitedly, "There's news."
His colleague, who was also a major, reminded him, "You better take a look at the contents in case it's just some normal news."
"That makes sense." That major hurriedly opened the document. When he saw the bloody photos in the document, his expression changed. When he saw an extremely bloody photo, he couldn't help but rush to the trash can and vomit.
"What's wrong?" His colleagues all asked him with concern.
After he finally stopped vomiting, the major raised his pale face. His eyes were filled with grief and anger. He said to the major beside him, "Major Liu, please help me contact Major General Wu. We've got the evidence on Planet Azure." Then, he closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly. He hid the tears that were about to fall from his eyes and his anger. Those people, even if they died 10,000 times, it wouldn't be enough!
Seeing the grief and anger in his colleague's eyes, Major Liu glanced at his optical supercomputer in shock. His expression changed. He immediately reported the situation to Major General Wu on his optical supercomputer.
Not long after, Major General Wu hurriedly walked in. There were a few middle-aged officers who were around 60 to 70 years old. Each of them had one or a few shining stars on their shoulders. They were either major generals or lieutenant generals.
So many generals suddenly appeared in the information room. All the majors on duty were shocked.
Major General Wu asked the moment he entered, "Where's the evidence?"
The major who had already recovered pointed at his optical supercomputer and said, "It's here."
Major General Wu rushed over and snatched the optical supercomputer. He personally looked through the photos. When the photos were flipped out, the shocking images made all the officers who were paying attention change their expressions.
"Bastards, these bastards …" The oldest lieutenant general slammed the table beside him angrily. The table was smashed into pieces.
"Immediately let the people on Planet Azure take control of the Central Scout Academy," a major general ordered.
His assistant hurriedly replied, "Yes, general." Actually, they had been waiting for this day for a long time. However, they didn't have any evidence so the people they sent could only wait patiently.
"Wait!" Another lieutenant general immediately stopped him. "There's news from the other sources too. That faction has many domain realm masters. Without a certain number of domain realm masters, we won't be able to control the Central Scout Academy. Also, there are too many students in the Central Scout Academy. If they are controlled and become hostages, we will be in a passive position."
"We must gather enough domain realm masters!" One of them seemed to be the person in charge. He immediately gave the order. "Ask all the divisions, ground troops, starship troops, law enforcement troops, special forces, and any domain realm masters near Planet Azure to rush to the headquarters of the ground troops on Planet Azure within 24 hours. The time of the operation …" He looked at the communicator on his wrist. The time was 1: 23 pm. Thus, he said, "Set it as 2 pm tomorrow …"
After so many scouting missions, they had already alerted the faction. They didn't have much time left. If not, no matter how well they prepared, if they let the faction escape, their chances of success would be zero.
Following this order, the entire information room started to move. They sent out orders to all the divisions that could reach Planet Azure within 24 hours.
At this moment, Major General Wu softly asked the major who received this document, "Did this document come from Long Xiang?"
The major was stunned. He hurriedly replied, "No, it's a lieutenant colonel from the division who accepted this mission." Although the mainframe did not provide detailed information about the mission taker to the military information room in order to ensure the safety of the mission taker, the mission requirement stated that the person was a lieutenant colonel, so the major naturally addressed the person as Sir Lieutenant Colonel.
"It's not him …" Major General Wu was shocked. He was curious. Who was the person who managed to get this information before the people from Long Xiang?
All the domain realm masters around Planet Azure received this order. Those who were free or those who didn't have important matters on hand all rushed to Planet Azure. However, domain realm masters weren't common. Even though the order was sent out, the generals in the military were still uneasy. After all, this mission concerned the safety of tens of thousands of students. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes. If not, they wouldn't be able to answer to the citizens of the Federation. They might even cause the fall of many important figures in the military and political world.
No one could bear this result, especially the generals in charge of this mission. In these short 24 hours, they felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
After Leng Hanfeng left Gu Zhengrong behind, he quickly reached the entrance of the base. However, when he saw so many guards and the entrance, he instantly understood why the people in front of him couldn't do anything.
"Boss, look at what I just saw." Ling Lan didn't leave. She was on a tree not far away and was sending information. Suddenly, she heard Little Four shouting in her mindscape.
"Your roommate!" Little Four shouted excitedly.
"Leng Hanfeng or Gu Zhengrong?" Ling Lan didn't find it strange.
Little Four said gloomily, "Why didn't you guess Meng Shaoran?"
"He will probably come too but he's not free now." When Ling Lan saw that Meng Shaoran chose Su Pei, she knew what he wanted to do.
It had to be said that he made a good move. Su Pei was calm and knew what to do. She knew what was best for them. Compared to the idealistic and stubborn Xiao Yiqiu, Su Pei would make it easier for Meng Shaoran to get what he wanted. Ling Lan agreed with his choice. If she was in his position, she would do the same.
