Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies
Chapter 461 - 455: Too Much Information!

Chapter 461: Chapter 455: Too Much Information!

Jiang Yan smiled and said nonchalantly, "Anything works."

"Good News, Musen Base was captured by our army in advance. We can go straight there and collect the sea launch tower later."

Jiang Yan was taken aback, "Does that mean we can return to Yaoben Base ahead of schedule?"

Musen Base is different from other locations that store National Treasures.

In other places, when encountering enemy forces, you could directly engage in battle.

But in Musen Base, besides enemy forces, there are many ordinary survivors and some scientists secretly held hostage by Xue Miaomiao. It can only be taken through intelligence, not force.

The original plan left at least two to three months for Musen Base.

Unexpectedly, it was this smooth.

Of course, she knew that other teams were arranged above to help clear some obstacles, but judging from previous experiences, the enemy forces were obviously stronger.

Unexpectedly, Musen Base, considered Xue Miaomiao’s last stronghold, turned out to be so vulnerable.

"How could it be so fast?" Jiang Yan asked with inner doubt.

Mo Jingsheng did not speak directly, only acted mysteriously and said, "We have an insider."

"An insider?" Jiang Yan was surprised but quickly understood.

Both Flame Base and Musen Base had spies arranged at Yaoben Base. It’s normal for Yaoben Base or above to arrange powerful spies to infiltrate and dismantle the other side.

Mo Jingsheng added, "However, there’s another reason. Too many people ate two-legged sheep at Musen Base, which led to an extremely severe prion virus outbreak. Human transmission is evident, plus many ordinary survivors disappearing from time to time, which eventually ignited public anger."

Jiang Yan felt the stone on her heart immediately lighten, "By the way, what’s the bad news?"

"Bad news, Xue Miaomiao escaped." Mo Jingsheng paused after speaking, glanced at Jiang Yan, and seeing her eyebrows furrowed sharply, said:

"He fled to Jinxin Base."

"Jinxin Base?" Hearing the name, Jiang Yan couldn’t stay calm, "Isn’t that the last base of the five elements attributed to Gold in the rumors of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth?"

"Yes."

"Then we—" Jiang Yan looked at the dagger in her hand, "Will we still go to Jinxin Base?"

On the treasure map, Musen Base is the final stop.

After sorting out all the materials, the whole fleet would directly return to Yaoben Base.

Jinxin Base is said to be far away and is a special base that can move flexibly on the sea, with coordinates not fixed.

If you go there and come back, it’s likely that dismantling the Catastrophe Simulation Laboratory will be even more difficult.

The multinational coalition forces have already reached the enemy force’s ground lair.

The ground attack and the sky attack are complementary and synchronous.

Time is tight for the attack from the sky, and the ground attack can’t wait much longer.

Thinking of this, Mo Jingsheng shook his head, "We won’t go. Our current priority is to collect all the materials from Musen Base and immediately return to Yaoben Base. Set up the launch platform, prepare to destroy the Catastrophe Simulation Laboratory, and prepare to set off for Mars. Don’t forget, we’ve already missed one Mars launch window period."

Every 28 months, there is a window period for launching from the ground to Mars.

They spent 3 years on the way, and they already missed one.

"After finishing at Musen Base, my mission will be complete, and I will apply to go myself. Before I leave, I’ll hand over all the materials to the country," Jiang Yan said, glancing into the distance, "After all, rebuilding the launch platform is not a one- or two-day affair."

Ye Qing clenched his fist, "I’ll go with you."

Mo Jingsheng looked at Jiang Yan, then at Ye Qing, and couldn’t help but laugh, "You two are overthinking things."

Jiang Yan didn’t understand, "What do you mean?"

Mo Jingsheng: "Jiang Yan, you’ve collected so many things; have you thought about where to store them when you return to Yaoben Base? Not to mention other things, just those few aircraft carriers already have no extra space."

Mo Jingsheng: "Yaoben Base is made of special metals and can withstand nuclear explosions, but for such a base, the biggest issue is the lack of materials, making expansion impossible."

Mo Jingsheng: "Moreover, as long as the Catastrophe simulator isn’t eliminated, this planet could face complete destruction. Handing it over now serves no purpose."

Jiang Yan gasped, "So, we have to wait until everything is settled before handing over that pile of stuff?"

"That’s what it means." Mo Jingsheng nodded, "This won’t be a short time; you need to be mentally prepared."

Ye Qing frowned slightly, hitting the nail on the head, "Then during the period after returning to the base until handing over the materials to the state, will Jiang Yan still be free?"

Ye Qing’s words instantly made Jiang Yan realize.

Mo Jingsheng didn’t answer directly, hesitating for a second before saying:

"Jiang Yan, the fruits of victory are hard-earned, and during the time after returning to Yaoben Base—"

"You protect the National Treasure, and the country protects you."

The meaning from above was already clear; if Jiang Yan still didn’t get it, she would truly be dull.

"I know you two hate Xue Miaomiao to the core, but don’t worry, the country won’t easily let such a heinous traitor off."

Seeing through Jiang Yan and Ye Qing’s thoughts, Mo Jingsheng continued:

"If you want to personally exact revenge, I’ll request to have someone capture him alive and bring him over. However, what I’ve heard on this side is that Xue Miaomiao is no longer the person you knew before the apocalypse."

Jiang Yan and Ye Qing asked in unison, "What do you mean?"

Mo Jingsheng: "You know about artificial intelligence, right? Have you heard of brain-computer interfaces?"

Jiang Yan nodded, "I’ve heard of it. Before the apocalypse, the Ma who launched a bunch of Starlink to space was always researching brain-computer interfaces."

Mo Jingsheng: "Have you heard of the L Organization?"

"L Organization?" Ye Qing thought for a moment, "I think I heard about it when we were in Xiangcheng."

Jiang Yan: "It is said that this organization is mainly composed of scientists, and even ordinary members are high-intelligence talents, with an IQ of less than 170 not qualifying for the team.

But since leaving Xiangcheng Base, there’s been no more news of this organization."

Mo Jingsheng: "SNP Laboratory is a part of this organization. This organization consists of fanatical elements in the scientific community, some from foreign forces. However, their research scope is limited, and their expertise is narrow. Therefore, the hidden forces behind Xue Miaomiao captured some scientists."

"The technology Xue Miaomiao acquired is more advanced than Ma’s and has already entered clinical trials."

"Many people saw Xue Miaomiao as a replacement found and surgically altered according to his height and appearance."

"The real Xue Miaomiao is involved in researching immortality and body genetic evolution. His limbs and torso are long dysfunctional, now just a monstrous brainstem housed in a machine."

Jiang Yan was shocked: "So, those mutated Eight-legged Insects we saw were indeed products of the SNP Laboratory, and Xue Miaomiao used the same technology?"

Mo Jingsheng nodded, "You can understand it that way."

Ye Qing was puzzled, "Xue Miaomiao is from Anming City and committed a lot of evil before the apocalypse. He indeed had some power locally. However, I still don’t understand how he could possess such great strength."

Jiang Yan also said, "Even if he’s just a puppet for the visible forces behind him, these studies aren’t ordinary high-tech. How did he have the authority to use them on himself? Or, as you said, such immortality technology isn’t mature; why is he in such a hurry, what’s the point?"

Zhou Haotian and Zhao Xiaofei exchanged a glance, their eyes red.

Xue Miaomiao was not only an enemy of Jiang Yan and Ye Qing but also the murderer of their parents.

Every time they recalled everything that happened back in Shallow Bay, they wished they could immediately butcher this psychopathic demon.

Additionally, they were somewhat confused by some of the professional terms Mo Jingsheng mentioned, but they didn’t dare interrupt to ask.

During more than three years of treasure hunting, they didn’t neglect their studies and occasionally joined Song Haitao in various learning meetings.

They were somewhat influenced by it.

But today’s conversation had a lot of information that seemed like fairy tales to them.

They were also puzzled as to how Xue Miaomiao suddenly became so powerful.

"Have you considered that those Mutant People and Mutant Creatures are experimental subjects for the forces represented by Xue Miaomiao? Could there be a possibility that certain genes or traits of Xue Miaomiao match or resemble those of the power wielder, making him the ultimate test subject?"

Jiang Yan fell silent.

Ye Qing looked at her, his lips tightly pressed, and said nothing.
