Early the next morning, after leaving the Elf Center, Aoki disguised himself and walked to the north of Kaji City.
The Lake of Wrath was located in the north of Kaji City. Originally, there were some residents around the Lake of Wrath, but because of the erosion of the Lake of Wrath by the Rocket Team, the surrounding residents moved to Kaji City.
So now, the Lake of Wrath was surrounded by members of the Rocket Team.
Aoki was dressed in casual clothes, and he didn't bring any elves with him as he walked up the northern path.
Because many people used to visit the Lake of Wrath in Kaji City, the Alliance specially built a road here. Originally, it was for the convenience of residents and tourists, but now it was convenient for the Rocket Team.
There were only a few people on the road, and most of them had the characteristics of the Rocket Team. On the surface, it couldn't be seen, but Aoki could still see some details.
Aoki didn't stop, and he continued to walk north by himself.
After two hours, the end of the road was surrounded by a steel wall. Only a fence was left at the intersection, and a few people were standing there to guard something.
Aoki tidied up his clothes and slowly walked over under the gaze of the few guards.
When he walked in, a guard walked up to Aoki and said with a blank expression, "This is a private place, no one is allowed to enter without permission."
Aoki didn't speak. Under the gaze of the guard, he gently lifted his clothes, revealing the belt with the Rocket Team symbol on his waist, and then took out an identity card of the Rocket Team from the belt.
The guard was still expressionless, but after seeing Aoki's Rocket Team belt and identity card, he eased a little.
He took the identity card from Aoki's hand and said rigidly, "Wait a minute."
As he spoke, he ignored Aoki and walked into the guard room by the fence to verify his identity. The other guards at the door were still looking at Aoki.
Aoki nodded secretly. Although many bases of the Rocket Team had decayed, the management system here was pretty good. At least from the quality of the guards, Aoki could tell that the Rocket Team of Kaji City was not just for decoration.
But thinking about it, it made sense. In such an important place, it was normal to arrange some reliable people. Otherwise, when facing the Alliance, they wouldn't even know how they died.
The guard didn't let Aoki wait too long. After checking Aoki's identity card, he returned it to Aoki and signaled the guard to open the fence and let him in.
This was only the entrance to the Lake of Wrath, not the entrance to the Lake of Wrath Research Base. This kind of management system was already quite strict. Perhaps it was related to the recent changes in Kaji City.
Aoki passed through the fence set by the Rocket Team. It was at least an hour away from the Lake of Wrath.
But after passing through the fence, he could clearly see that the people around him were no longer hiding their identity as the Rocket Team. Everyone was more or less wearing the Rocket Team's logo. The most obvious one was wearing the Rocket Team's uniform. Those who were more secretive had the Rocket Team's logo pinned on their chest.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Aoki took out a Rocket Team medal from his Rocket Team belt and pinned it on his chest. Then he fastened his shirt into his pants, revealing the Rocket Team belt on his waist.
After doing this, the hidden gazes around him decreased a lot.
He calmly tidied up his clothes and released the Dark Raven from the Pokeball.
Suddenly, the surrounding gazes completely disappeared.
Sometimes, it was necessary to show off your sharp teeth for people to see. Only then would those who had ulterior motives obediently restrain themselves.
Aoki brought the Dark Raven straight to the Lake of Wrath Research Base. More and more members of the Rocket Team with their elves appeared around him. They ignored Aoki's appearance. He had completely blended into the environment.
An hour later, at the entrance of an underground passage, ten members wearing the Rocket Team's uniform stood at the intersection. They looked around the surroundings and surrounded the entrance.
Compared to the places Aoki had passed by before, this place was much more serious.
Aoki's appearance attracted their attention, but they were not as rigid as before. After all, the people who appeared here were basically members of the Rocket Team. Their identities would definitely pass the verification.
However, the intersection here was not a place where ordinary people could enter. So, when Aoki gradually approached, two people joined forces to stop him.
"Kid, you're not allowed to come close." One of the two people who looked more ferocious said with a smile.
Looking at his expression, he was definitely the kind of existence that could make children stop crying.
"I want to see your captain. I have something to discuss." Aoki glanced at him and said.
The ferocious man was at least two meters tall. His body was also very muscular. Aoki was no different from a child in front of him.
The two people looked at each other, then looked at the Dark Raven standing on Aoki's shoulder. It was not weak, and Aoki did not show any timidity in front of the two of them. Obviously, he was not the kind of inexperienced newbie who had just joined the Rocket Team.
"Come with us. Don't look around!" The ferocious man of the two said.
Obviously, Aoki's strength had been recognized by them. Otherwise, if a random person came to see their captain, wouldn't that person be killed by their captain?
Leading Aoki to the entrance of the underground passage, the ferocious man led him to an ordinary-looking young man with an ordinary body.
The ferocious man said in a muffled voice, "Captain, this kid wants to see you."
Obviously, he was not as unscrupulous as he was when facing Aoki.
Their captain looked relatively ordinary, but he was definitely not weak. Otherwise, he would not have been sent to guard such an important entrance to the base.
The young man, who was picking his nails with a dagger, looked up at Aoki and asked, "What's the matter?"
"That … Captain, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my post first." The ferocious man was like a mouse seeing a cat. He ran away quickly.
Aoki took out a black medal from his belt, showed it to the young man, and then put it back.
The black medal was given to Aoki by Ying. It represented the reserve member of the Rocket Team.
Although Aoki's movements were very fast, he still saw what the medal in Aoki's hand was. Immediately, his face changed slightly. After carefully staring at Aoki for three seconds, he said, "I've been waiting for you for so long."
This time, it was Aoki's turn to be surprised. What did he mean? Waiting for him for so long? Did Ying arrange for this person to wait for him here?
The young man stood up and said to Aoki, "Let's go. I'll take you in."
At the same time, he said to his team members who were standing guard next to him, "I'll take him in. If any of you dare to slack off, humph!"
Hearing his snort, the bull-like men shuddered and nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.
Nodding with satisfaction, the young man opened the door of the underground entrance and walked in with Aoki.
