Chapter 154: Chapter 98 Elite Squad_2

The Mane Bear nonchalantly raised an eyebrow.

"Can you let me finish speaking? Don’t make me slice off your reproductive organs and let them pair up by themselves!"

The Dragonfly Lady cursed out loud, and the two immediately behaved.

Tree Man Beta was pruning the branches on his arms, puzzled as he asked, "It’s just a Military Spiritual Ability User with a C-level composite strength, is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"

"Black Storm is just one of our incidental investigation targets; the trickiest problem inside this fortress is this."

The Dragonfly Lady gently pushed with her right hand.

The photo of the young man seated in a wheelchair, pushed by Zheng Shiduo as they entered the Lingtong Supply Station, appeared before everyone.

The eyes of the Mane Bear lit up, "Zheng Shiduo? I know him! A very famous, perverted Spiritual Ability User! A typical balanced Spiritual Ability User with average strength!"

"Look at the young man he’s pushing! This one is the biggest trouble."

The Dragonfly Lady urgently said:

"There’s very little information about this young man because he was merely a pitiful specimen in a laboratory, a Clone of an S-level Mutated Spiritual Ability User, a Beast Speaker. Among the thousands of clones, a few successful experiments were created, and he is one of them.

"He possesses some of the Beast Speaker bigshot’s abilities; his previous Spiritual Ability reaction level was B, and he posed a very high comprehensive threat.

"According to the intelligence we have, the poor kid played a huge role in the recent battle to encircle and suppress the Young King Worm that occurred nearby.

"Those old guys believe that the sudden expulsion of all Spiritual Ability Users from Fortress 76, the political detention of squad leader Wei Linzheng and the old rogue Feng Bang Jie, and the declaration that Fortress 76 will not accept any Spiritual Ability Users during the investigation is all to protect this Beast Speaker’s clone."

The group pondered carefully.

The Mane Bear asked, "I remember, don’t these clones usually not live long? And they depend on Nutrition Storage to survive, yet he looks... very healthy."

"That’s the most shocking part; this guy, who should be dead, is now alive, and looks even healthier than us, with rosy cheeks."

The Dragonfly Lady clicked her tongue:

"When Qin Qin brought him over, he was obviously dying, marked as an experimental subject with no value."

"So," Tree Man Beta asked, "is our main task to deal with him?"

"Not to deal with, but to investigate."

The Dragonfly Lady simply said:

"We are the Grey Feather Investigation Team, our job is to collect intelligence, not to destroy or pass judgment. Just reporting to those old perverts is considered mission accomplished."

Tree Man Beta sighed, "That’s good; such children are too pitiful. No matter the methods used by the Military to save him, staying alive is always good."

"Threats should be cut off as early as possible," muttered the Mane Bear.

Shaman voiced her concerns, "But the fortress is designed to be easy to defend and hard to attack. How do we investigate? They’ve blocked all paths."

Click.

The Dragonfly Lady lit herself a cigarette, leaned back in her folding chair, her left hand resting behind the chair, and casually exhaled a ring of smoke, saying:

"Our next investigative directions come in three options; whichever one makes a breakthrough, we can immediately take off.

"Never forget, this is the Devil Commander’s territory. If he wants to mess with us, we won’t be able to leave alive, and nobody will plead for us either, with those idiots fearing the Horror Mecha.

"Sigh.

"The first investigative direction is related to Black Storm; we need to take samples from it.

"The second investigative direction concerns the Beast Speaker clone, to confirm his current energy level, physical condition, and life expectancy, with an optional task to find the Military technology that revived him.

"The third investigative direction is more comprehensive, that is, to analyze the necessity of the continued existence of the Middle Ages Basin Fortress 76. We need to provide a comprehensive threat level for this place, submit it, then our mission here is over."

Shaman asked softly, "So, how do we go about investigating now?"

Slap!

The Dragonfly Lady slammed a form onto the table, "The recommendation of the team leader is... forget investigating! Just mark it as extremely dangerous and let an S-level Spirit Ability User completely destroy this fortress! Who agrees, who opposes?"

"We can’t do that!" "I object!"

Shaman and Tree Man Beta raised their hands at the same time.

The Mane Bear said, "I agree; get straight to the point."

"All right, so now the vote stands at three to one."

The Dragonfly Lady looked at the Mane Bear and hurriedly said:

"Following the principle of majority rule, the main investigator this time will be you, Mane Bear!

"Take these two muscular assistants, raised by the Spiritual Ability House of the fortress... cough, take these two sturdy helpers, and investigate one of the three options above!"

The Mane Bear looked perplexed, a bit slow to catch on.

Wait, wasn’t it, just now, like this and that, how did it suddenly become?

Clang!

The Stealth Flying Device’s hatch opened for a few seconds before it immediately closed again.

The Mane Bear and the two Spiritual Ability Users who were still wearing headphones stood outside the hatch, facing the vast sands.

The Mane Bear’s forehead was lined with black streaks as a withered yellow leaf fluttered past the back of his head.

Inside the flying device.

The Dragonfly Lady yawned, went to a small fridge nearby to grab a bottle of strong liquor, uncorked it, and took two gulps, showing a satisfied smile.

Shaman asked softly, "Captain, are we just going to do nothing?"

"Haven’t we already done something? We’ve dispatched a powerful humanoid detector!"

Dragonfly Lady blinked her right eye:

"If the Mane Bear dies, mark the investigation form as extremely dangerous.

"If the Mane Bear is injured, mark the investigation form as relatively dangerous.

"If the Mane Bear comes out unscathed and managed to investigate something inside the fortress, then it’s a general threat.

"Doesn’t that make sense?"

Tree Man Beta: "It makes sense."

Shaman: "Genius!"

"I’m still on the communicative channel!" roared the Mane Bear, full of annoyance.

...

Several hours later.

In Elevator 11, which was ascending within the fortress of Middle City,

Wang Jixuan, dressed in a combat suit and disguised as a Clean-up troop soldier, arms crossed, pondered the simple reconnaissance he had just completed.

One piece of good news was that he had collected fragments of that crystal stone.

There was also a piece of bad news...

Now, there appeared an energy type that even Master Wang could not understand.

The Blade Beast Nest had begun to fill up with activity, and those crystal stones were quite widely distributed. Nearly every ’insect room’ could be searched, but most of them were damaged by the insects.

The crystals themselves were like murky crystal stones, growing in clusters from the rock layers.

Just as Deep Sea had said earlier, attempting to pull them out—whether by hand, machinery, or the telekinesis of Spiritual Ability Users—would immediately cause them to explode, potentially causing severe injuries even to those wearing protective gear.

Master Wang had initially thought that this was a device for drawing Earth Vein Spiritual Power.

[Earth Vein Spiritual Power: Spiritual Energy stored within the earth, often contaminated by turbid Qi, commonly used as a source of power for Mountain Protection Arrays, and an important basis for seeking underground spiritual ore.]

But after examining carefully with his Spiritual Sense, he did not find a trace of Earth Vein Spiritual Power.

Indeed, the crystal stones harbored energy within them, which also came from the earth, but it was not Spiritual Energy, nor was it anything known to Wang Jixuan. Blade Beasts could convert this energy into Spiritual Energy.

Science could not understand it;

Immortal Law could not understand it;

"Could it really be some alien technology?"

"Ah, these Blade Beasts could indeed be considered an invasion of alien civilization."

Master Wang was a bit disheveled.

In his backpack, he still carried several exploded crystal stones, deciding to study them closely during a later period of cultivation and Artifact Refining.

Maybe he would discover more little secrets of the Blade Beasts.

"Boss!"

Deep Sea cleared his throat and, just as the elevator was about to reach the seventh floor, murmured softly:

"That Great Sword... could you get me one too? It doesn’t have to be as powerful as Lingtong’s. Just having something like that would be nice, it’s for... to pacify my wife with."

"Possible," Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "Uncle Tai knows what materials I’ll need. Just let him prepare them in advance."

Deep Sea breathed a sigh of relief.

He had never asked anyone for anything in his life, but this time his wife’s persistent nagging was too much to bear.

"Thanks."

"No need to be polite, treat me to a cup of clean tea later."

"No problem!"

Ding ding.

The elevator doors opened, and Wang Jixuan pulled down his cap brim, intending to leave with his head lowered.

"Hum hum hum hum~"

With his natural Spiritual Sense, Wang Jixuan caught the light-hearted humming and a familiar figure.

The neighbor on his right?

He focused his Spiritual Sense for a closer look, and saw the image of a young girl riding a bicycle leisurely past a wheat field.

Something was off.

The dormitory building and the infant care center where she worked were in another direction, at least two kilometers away. How did she appear at the periphery?

Master Wang didn’t want to pry further,

but an image of a young girl in white, surrounded by a faint black air, crossed his mind.

As a result, Wang Jixuan slightly furrowed his brows and told Deep Sea, "I’m going out for a walk," as he headed off to the side, leaving Deep Sea somewhat puzzled.
