Chapter 488: Chapter 227 Huang Que is in position

Wang Jixuan performed the Earth Escape Skill at the very same moment.

Above Snow Mountain Base, a stealth transport plane was executing a slow, shallow circling maneuver. Inside the plane, sitting and standing, were a dozen or so silhouettes, gathered together, looking at the three-dimensional projection of the Snow Mountain map.

The middle-aged man at the center, dressed in a crisp white suit, his hair combed to a slick sheen, had a civilization cane laid beside him, his eyes twinkling with an alert brightness.

He was the current leader of the Judgement Team of the Spirit Management Committee of Spiritual Ability City, Meng Jin.

He leaned back in his chair, pondering the news he had just received.

If Master Wang saw the number of high-level Spiritual Ability Users here, he would probably decisively abandon the upcoming combat plan.

"Xing Dian has suddenly become unconscious?"

"Yes, Commander."

"Were there any signs?"

"That is, Xing Dian suddenly fell into a deep sleep, as if in a nightmare, vital signs have not disappeared, but there is significant fluctuation in spiritual energy."

Meng Jin frowned in thought.

Two older high-level Spiritual Ability Users could not help but speak up:

"Compared to that, the sudden deaths of several scientists is a bigger problem. The preliminary scan results are out, they all died of heart attacks, with no toxins whatsoever."

"Our people are inside the secret base, they’ve searched it already, found no issues, nor signs of enemy infiltration. There’s only one way in and out, and Rainbow Town has no abnormalities."

A middle-aged woman reminded, "What we must pay attention to is that the assault team sent by Fu Jian was found and expelled. The D2 Combined Combat Zone captured two Spiritual Ability Users, who are students of Xing Dian, named Ji Xiao and Ji Yale. They are en route here, but it seems there were some accidents along the way, the current situation is unclear... My point is, there could still be other assault teams, they might have developed new types of poison gas or machinery."

Meng Jin nodded slowly, without uttering a word.

When faced with puzzling matters, he preferred to think, observe, and summarize, rather than casually express his views.

This was also a key reason he could hold his position.

But in any team, there are always some who like to make noise.

"Boss, why did we come here?"

"Yeah, boss, you gathered us up in advance, brought us here but didn’t go down, what’s this about?"

Meng Jin smiled and spoke softly, "This is a secret, but considering the circumstances, there’s no harm in telling you all... A Spirit Cultivator is guiding me."

"A Spirit Cultivator?"

"Yes, the one that Fu Jian took away, the wall with the stone plates, Spirit Cultivator No.4."

Meng Jin explained calmly:

"Everyone present is close to me, we’ve been through life and death together to get to where we are today, so there is a lot I do not wish to hide."

"Of course, I won’t betray the Six Elders. The Six Elders are my teachers and have my kinsmen among them. I just want them to be more assertive, to earn the respect that human society owes us. You should know this."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Meng Jin continued softly:

"The reason I called you all here is to wait for Black Storm to appear."

"Black Storm?"

"That’s right, that miraculous fellow," Meng Jin said with a smile, "No.4 Spirit Cultivator asked me to kill him, offering in return a part of the replicable Awakening Circuit and Upgrade Circuit. But I feel, this matter is not that simple."

An elder’s expression became animated: "Can he really provide it?"

"He won’t give it, teacher, don’t get excited. Spiritual Cultivators are not trustworthy, otherwise why haven’t the Six Elders completed their own awakening after so many years?"

Meng Jin sighed:

"Spirit Cultivators just want to treat us like dogs. Their ideal state is to have all humans injected, so they can recover their strength, then have us reproduce vigorously, becoming cannon fodder in the fight against Blade Beast Blood.

"These Spirit Cultivators are insane, their promises are not to be taken too seriously, just empty promises. But this Black Storm is very interesting.

"He is the confidence behind Fu Jian, and also the anomaly that changed D5’s stance. According to our research, the air Spiritual Power Weapon, Demon-breaking Dagger, united attack techniques to crush Blade Beasts, all came from him.

"No.4 Spirit Cultivator has directed us to come here to snipe Black Storm and to rescue him from Fortress No.76 in the Middle Ages Basin... His exact words were, ’While that Demon is not here, come and save me quickly, he’s torturing me to death.’

"Listen!"

Meng Jin’s expression showed a pathologically excited state:

"Black Storm can torture a Spirit Cultivator to death!"

The crowd pondered, struggling to follow Meng Jin’s train of thought.

An elder asked with a frown, "So, what are you planning to do this time, Commander?"

"It’s quite simple, wait for Black Storm to show up, locate Black Storm, and invite him back."

Meng Jin spoke leisurely:

"On certain matters, I resonate with General Fu Jian.

"Humans should rely on their own strength to overcome Blade Beasts in order to achieve independence of civilization. Whether it’s the Spirit Cultivators or the third civilization that Black Storm represents, they can both be sources of technology for us. Mastering this technology, harnessing this technology, then surpassing them to let human civilization arise from the brink of death, that is our true path!"

The crowd’s gaze grew more fervent.

Meng Jin stood with his hands on his civilization cane, his eyes bright and alert:

"The anomalies that have manifested prove we’ve come to the right place.

"There is an undercurrent surging underground. The unconsciousness of Xing Dian, the simultaneous heart attack deaths of several research staff, it’s clear someone has struck from the shadows.

"This is beyond our expectations, so it’s very likely it was Black Storm."
