After Silin and the other two exited the cabin door, they flew towards that planet in stealth mode. Although they couldn't fly very fast with the thrusters on their protective suits, it was still more stealthy than the others.
Pride and three others followed closely behind Silin and the other two. However, they wouldn't step onto that planet like Silin. Pride and the other two would hide somewhere closer to the planet so that they could cover Silin and the other two in time if something unexpected happened.
There wasn't anything very special on the surface of the planet. It was about the same as many Rank D habitable planets. However, after Silin had installed the scanner, the scanned image showed the situation beneath the ground. He had already confirmed the fact that a base existed on this planet.
He didn't know what was installed inside the base to shield it from external detection, but the scanned image only revealed a rough outline of the base. As for the detailed structure map inside, they weren't able to obtain it at all. The scanner that Silin had installed was given to him by Ci Jincheng. This was also a device that the military had just developed not too long ago. Otherwise, they might not even be able to detect the outline of the underground base.
"No matter what, we've confirmed that a base does exist here. It's so well hidden that it's obvious how important this base is to 'Miracle'. "Ci Jincheng was very excited as he looked at the scanned image on the screen.
They had confirmed the base, but how to get in was another problem. According to the markings on the scanned image, this base had almost ten exits on the surface. Some were big, some were small. Right now, all of these exits were closed.
"It's sealed up so well. Aren't those people bored inside?" Lung asked as he looked at the planet displayed on the screen.
"As long as the internal stability is properly adjusted and an excellent life support system is in place, we can build an underground world." Ci Jincheng said, "However, the amount of manpower and financial resources needed to build an underground world like this is rather great."
"With 'Miracle's' abilities in the past, this isn't a difficult task." Lung was well aware of the financial power of Miracle Corporation in the past. Back then, Miracle had too powerful a backer, and they had many supporters. The underground research they conducted was also able to rake in a large amount of money. Many of the rare minerals and materials were purchased by Miracle.
On the planet, Cillin stretched out a finger and marked a few places on the map scanned by the scanner. They were the places where the entrances and exits were located. "It looks like they're very vigilant, and they've made up their mind this time. These passageways are all sealed, and the slightest movement in the passageways will set off the alarm. If we go in, there'll probably be a group of people pointing guns at us before we even reach the base below."
Ci Jincheng and the rest understood what Silin was saying. Knight was a little annoyed. He had seen the death toll and the death rate caused by the Nightmare Tapir earlier. Now that he had finally found a problematic base, it was difficult for him to do anything about it. The people from Miracle were too cunning. They did not plan to come out for the time being. They ate, drank, and defecated underground. All the entrances were sealed. Opening them by force was not a good idea.
"What should we do?" The people in the spaceplane could not make up their minds at the moment. They could fight and kill, but there was really nothing they could do about these things. Even the equipment that Ci Jincheng took out now could not do anything about it, much less them.
Silin looked at the passageways on the map and said nothing. This time, there was nothing Huimao could do even if he showed up. This was because these passageways could not be touched. They could only come up with a good idea if they knew everything about the underground base.
"Let's try to hack into the network inside first," suggested Silin.
"No, it's fine over there, but I'm too far away. The magnetic field around here affects me more. Also, the next ion storm is coming soon. Although the level of this storm is not considered high, it's more than enough to block communication and network signals." Ci Jincheng couldn't do anything about this either. He believed that this was the reason why 'Miracle' had built this base here. The frequent particle storms had caused many people who came to this area to retreat. No one was willing to stay here for long, so this planet could continue to exist in seclusion for a long time.
Silin frowned, "When is the next particle storm?"
"Estimated half an hour later, 34 minutes 17 to 19 seconds." Ci Jincheng explained the estimation to Silin, "Also, I suggest that you all come back first and wait until this wave is over."
In reality, everyone knew that even if they avoided this particle storm, who knew when the next wave would come? What if there were signs of the next wave after this one was over? Should they continue to wait?
"I'll go." A voice rang inside Silin's communicator.
This wasn't the voice of anyone in the "Tapir Extermination" squad. However, Silin was very familiar with the owner of this voice. The moment the voice rang, Silin immediately knew where this "person" usually hid.
"The White Spirit?"
The White Spirit had been hiding at Czedow's place all this time. As long as she was unwilling to come out, and Czedow intentionally hid her, it was very difficult to be discovered. The White Spirit had been very quiet after hiding at Czedow's place. She was only using Czedow to understand this world.
Silin knew that Czedow often brought the White Spirit with him when he was in the squad, but he didn't think that the White Spirit would come with him this time. But why didn't Yue and the others mention this when he called them? Why did they know that the White Spirit had escaped with Czedow?
"This is my own decision. I asked Czedow to keep it a secret, and I promise to keep it a secret. I didn't tell Yue and the others about it," the White Spirit explained. She just wanted to see this world. Although she was created by the Xi Family's generation just like Yue and the others, she wasn't very close to them. In fact, her relationship with them couldn't be compared to the relationship between the five brothers. Czedow was the only person in the Eleventh Squad who was close to her.
"How confident are you that you'll be able to get in?" Silin asked.
"It's impossible to sneak into the underground base's network completely 'noiselessly'. This base's defense network is very strong, but like you said just now, the next particle storm is coming very soon. "But you just said that the next particle storm is coming soon. If we can make good use of this particle storm, it'll be a pretty good idea," the White Spirit said.
Although the White Spirit had joined the Eleventh Squad, she rarely interacted with the rest of the squad. She thought that Yue and the others were very far away from her, but she was very happy that the Eleventh Squad had Czedow. Czedow had taught her a lot of things and helped her understand the world better. Every time she came into contact with the other side of the world, she felt that she wasn't just a "living" program anymore. She was able to understand human emotions more closely.
The reason she stepped forward wasn't for the Eleventh Squad or the Tapir Vanquisher Squad. It was for Czedow.
No one but Czedow was privy to the conversation between the White Spirit and Silin. After circling in place for a while, Knight noticed that Silin was standing there blankly for a long time. He asked, "Do you have any suggestions, Silin?"
Silin nodded. "Yes."
"Ah?" This time it was Knight's turn to be stunned. He was just asking casually, and he was already planning to return to the spaceplane and avoid the particle storm first. He didn't expect Silin to give him such a reply.
"Go back to the spaceplane with them first. Czedow and I will stay here."
"Why? You want to hack into the underground network? You can't. Even you will be greatly affected by the particle storm. All communication networks will malfunction for a short period of time, and how are you going to hack them if they're all intermittent? Also, "Knight pointed at the protective suit on Cillin's body," This thing won't be able to protect you completely. Although the level of the particle storm that's about to hit you isn't that high, you may not be able to withstand the particle storm at its peak even if you wear the protective suit. Do you want to die? Let's go back to the spaceplane first. "
Knight tried to pull Silin's arm, but to no avail.
"It's fine. I know what I'm doing."
"You know what you're doing! Let's go back now! " Knight grew anxious. There were still eighteen minutes left, and they wouldn't have much time left if they dilly-dallied any longer. After all, it would take some time to get to the spaceplane from here.
"What's wrong?" On the spaceplane, Ci Jincheng asked after seeing that the duo hadn't moved yet.
Knight told Ci Jincheng about the situation.
"What do you think, Silin?" Ci Jincheng asked Silin.
"Don't worry, Czedow and I will hack in. This is an opportunity."
After two seconds of consideration, Ci Jincheng said, "Come back first, Knight."
"No, we must drag this kid back. It's too dangerous to stay here …"
Before Knight could finish, he saw a layer of armor covering Silin and Czedow's bodies. Then, the armor faded and they became invisible again.
Knight struggled for a moment when he saw this, "Alright, how could I forget that you still have a life-saving trump card!"
Two layers of protection. Thinking about the level of the particle storm, Knight felt that this should work, right?
"In any case, don't force yourself. Just take out your energy shield if you can't hold on anymore. It doesn't matter if those people discover you, your life is more important."
"I know. You should go back now." Cillin raised his foot and kicked Knight.
After Knight left the planet and retreated to the spaceplane, Silin and Czedow arrived at a tightly closed passage. At first glance, it was impossible to tell that this was a passage. This place was so well integrated with the surroundings that it wasn't easy to be discovered.
"I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Czedow still felt very guilty about bringing the White Spirit out, so he didn't tell Silin about the White Spirit.
"It's nothing, you all have your own freedom." Silin patted Czedow, "Since you brought her with you, it means that you trust her. It's good that you have confidence in her. Also, we do need her help this time. "
By the time Knight, Pride and the others had returned to the spaceplane, the particle storm was slowly forming and moving towards them.
"Are Silin and the others really fine?"
Inside the spaceplane, everyone stared at the two dots on the screen. They really couldn't understand why they would attack when the particle storm was coming. How were they supposed to do it? It was hard to hack into the external network, wasn't it? Also, with such high energy particles and radiation, were those two really not affected by the storm? Czedow was one thing, everyone was numb to it and knew how special he was. But why was Silin staying there too?
"If he says he has a way, then he has a way. Let's watch."
Therefore, everyone stared at the screen closely. Even Monchi Aro was standing behind them and watching everything on the screen. Huimao poked his head out of the "collar" of his "cloak" and didn't go back to sleep.
"Twelve seconds left. After that, we won't be able to contact you for a certain period of time. Be careful," Silin said to the White Spirit.
"Mn, I know. I've experienced a lot of things like this in the past." The White Spirit knew the particle storm very well. She was confident in herself.
"Get ready." Silin signaled Czedow.
Czedow crouched down and placed his hand at the entrance of the sealed passage, trying to get as close to the center as possible.
"Go, White!"
The moment before the particle storm reached this planet, the White Spirit had already entered the sealed passage and snuck into the network inside the passage. She arrived inside the base in an instant. When the White Spirit snuck into the network inside the passage, the underground base's alarm went off, but it wasn't very loud.
The guards didn't pay attention to the faint alarm. After all, the sealed passage wasn't opened, and they attributed the alarm to the approaching particle storm. Due to the particle storm's influence, their internal communication was disrupted, the underground lighting system started flickering, a lot of instruments started going on strike, and the screens were starting to blur.
However, the people in the base seemed to be used to this. They just minded their own business and paid no attention to the flickering screens and lighting system. They also didn't think that someone would hack into the base's network under such circumstances. Everyone in this place was very comfortable.
Standing inside the spaceplane, Ci Jincheng and the others were also strongly affected. They couldn't even contact Silin, and the image displayed on the screen wasn't clear either. It was flickering, and they could only vaguely see the entrance of the passage and the two blurry flashing signals that represented Silin and Czedow.
"Why do I feel like a white light flashed where Silin and Czedow were just now?" Lung said in a low voice.
"I think I saw it too," Knight answered.
The others had seen the same scene. Although it was only for an instant, everyone's attention was very focused at the time. Moreover, the monitors weren't affected at the time, so they could see everything clearly.
It can't be an out-of-body experience, can it? A few people thought to themselves.
The high energy particle flow and radiation interference caused the communication and scanning system to operate abnormally, and the internal power supply to be disrupted for a short period of time. Fortunately, the particle storm didn't last long, and it left as quickly as it came.
Five minutes later, everything returned to normal.
"How are things on your side, Silin? Are you alright?" Ci Jincheng asked hurriedly after everything had returned to normal.
"Everything is going smoothly," Silin answered.
Following Silin's answer, the screen in front of Ci Jincheng and the others displayed a scene that delighted them.
"Is this … the planet's underground base?"
"Yes." Silin and Czedow were guarding the place, and they could also see the scene through the display on their masks. This was what they could see from the White Spirit's perspective.
Everything in the underground base that had returned to normal was very calm. They didn't know that 'someone' had entered.
