Chapter 224: Chapter 127 Unexpected Gain

Wang Jixuan had just begun to meditate when he received a message from Lingtong.

[Zheng Shiduo is missing.]

He grabbed two crystal cores to absorb the spiritual power within, donned his X armor, took Mu Dan with him, and invisible, he headed straight for the surface camp they had just left.

The military camp was now in full lockdown, with a large number of soldiers wearing power armor searching inside and outside the fortress for any possible clues.

When Wang Jixuan entered the transport, Lingtong was already wearing her scarred mechanical arm. The incident had happened so suddenly that she didn’t have time to change into her combat suit and was still in her favorite home attire—tight jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt.

Lingtong stood in front of several detectors’ terminals.

"How’s it going?"

"Twelve minutes ago, Captain Zheng’s spiritual ability signal suddenly disappeared in this area on the second floor of Upper City."

Lingtong said softly, pointing to the panel:

"This area is now completely locked down.

"Captain Zheng was not in good physical condition before, but in order to conceal the identity of the X War Armor holder, he specifically made rounds visiting various places, deliberately releasing misinformation through the spies from Spiritual Ability City within our ranks.

"Now it seems, he might have been ambushed by these spies."

Master Wang frowned in thought, then turned his head to look at Lingtong: "I’ll go take a look, you continue to rest."

"Let me come with you," Lingtong said softly, "try to stay invisible as much as you can."

Mu Dan actively offered, "Commander! I’ll conduct the search here. I can control all networked devices in every corner of the fortress within three minutes!"

"Good," Wang Jixuan said firmly, "no vehicles are to leave, apply for higher authorization if access is insufficient, and you can directly contact Lao Fu."

—In front of Lingtong, Master Wang still managed to elevate Xiao Fu’s status a bit.

"Understood!" Mu Dan replied crisply.

Wang Jixuan had already made up his mind.

Captain Zheng had done so much for the battle zone and for fighting against the Blade Beast; he couldn’t let the scoundrels take advantage of him!

He was resolute, a red light flashing in his eyes, and a faint red glow appeared at the corners.

He hadn’t used devil skill when killing Mo Feng because everything was within his plan. Mo Feng was strong, but with the war zone resources, Lingtong and Mu Dan’s support, plus the unmanned aerial vehicle combination great array, there was no need for him to go all out.

But now he did use it, to prevent the meritorious from being disheartened and the righteous from being slaughtered.

Although Zheng Shiduo didn’t exactly follow the righteous path in certain matters.

He extended his fingers, forming seals.

Soul Stabilization Technique, search the heavens and the earth!

The voice that came from Wang Jixuan’s war helmet was still a bit cold:

"Call a team of trustworthy special forces soldiers to come with me."

...

At a hidden corner on the third floor of the fortress.

"Hm?"

Zheng Shiduo slowly awakened from his slumber.

What just happened?

Was that a clump of white mist that sprayed out in the hallway a potent anesthetic?

Fortunately, he was a balanced-class spiritual ability user with a bit of ability in every area. If he were a telekinesis spirit ability user, he definitely wouldn’t be able to wake up now.

Where is this? Has he been captured?

Zheng Shiduo observed his surroundings.

A narrow dark room, as if inside a large wardrobe, with the faint glow of light filtering through a long, narrow crack.

Zheng Shiduo felt numb all over, intermittently getting shocked by electricity, his mouth taped shut with thick adhesive.

He swallowed saliva, exerting tremendous effort, used the intervals between electric shocks to adjust his position, and finally made it to a crack in the door to peek outside.

This was a well-decorated bedroom, quite spacious, unlike the common dorm rooms in the Middle City of the fortress.

’No way, have I really been kidnapped? This, this! This is embarrassingly humiliating!’

Zheng Shiduo felt it was all absurd, then suddenly widened his eyes.

’Where’s the X armor? Damn it! Have I been stripped? No good, no good, the armor’s gone!’

He kept swallowing saliva, determined in his heart, and in the interval of electrical shocks, he lurched forward in an attempt to break out.

Bang!

The alloys of the wardrobe door made a dull sound, and the heavy doors stood firm.

Zheng Shiduo sucked in a breath; his body was shaking, but the electric current suddenly intensified, making his body tremble and his eyes roll back... after which his cheeks reddened.

The feedback was strong—no, this wasn’t the time to enjoy it!

"Mmm, mmmm!"

Zheng Shiduo struggled desperately, while the electric current kept increasing.

Outside the wardrobe, a conversation between a young man and a young woman could be heard. Both sounded nervous.

The woman asked shakily, "What do we do, he’s awake! He’s a Level C spiritual ability user!"

The man immediately said, "What else can we do, crank up the electricity to the max, knock him out! The captain is already preparing the vehicle. As soon as he gives us the signal, we’ll head over there; then we’ll be on easy street!"

"But, but, I heard they’re on lockdown in every sector!"

"That’s fine even with the lockdown, don’t forget the captain’s identity. Do you want to live in this dreary bunker until you die? I don’t, darling, I really don’t! I want to make something of myself, go to the freest place."

"But we’re just ordinary people, and it would be hard for us to get by in Spiritual Ability City."

"Ninety-nine percent of the people in Spiritual Ability City are ordinary folks, living happily under the protection of a large number of spiritual ability users. They don’t have to worry about attacks from Blade Beasts. Trust me, the videos can’t be faked, I’ve seen lots of them from there."

The woman sighed and continued to wait, sitting on the edge of the bed and starting to daydream.

Zheng Shiduo suffered an electric shock every dozen seconds or so, and he kept thinking of ways to locate within his body that feeling of fullness when he used his ’big move,’ the surging of Qi when a spiritual ability user activates their power.

That feeling was crucial, as long as he could find it...
