Chapter 527: Chapter 242: A Small Test of the Large Array [Three Updates, Request for Monthly Pass]

Mu Dan removed her right hand as a projection device, brought over a stool, drinks, and small snacks, sat beside Wang Jixuan, stretched her neck, and gazed at the 3D projection in front of her.

The surface of Fortress 76 was eerily quiet.

Wang Jixuan glanced at the stacked surveillance feeds, took the fruit preserves Mu Dan handed over, and chewed a few bites.

Hmm? It wasn’t an industrial product.

Wang Jixuan asked, "Where did the preserves come from?"

"Preserves?"

Mu Dan replied honestly, "You have special talent subsidy points. I noticed you don’t have much to use them on, so I exchanged some points for snacks for you. They are quite expensive."

"Tastes good."

Master Wang chewed on the fruit preserves, reminding, "Save some for Lingtong... can you see the Command Center on the third floor?"

"According to regulations, it’s not visible," Mu Dan smiled mysteriously, "but if you permit, it can be viewed."

"Show me the feed."

"Sure."

Mu Dan’s slender right hand on the table snapped its fingers, and a projection screen appeared to Wang Jixuan’s left, displaying Dongfang Zhenghong’s Command Center, with real-time audio and visuals.

Is this Lao Fu’s usual perspective when spying on commanders?

Quite interesting.

The large screen in front of Dongfang Zhenghong projected a radar interface, showing dozens of flashing red dots.

A group of high-level Spiritual Ability Users moved steadily underground, seemingly utilizing some Spiritual Energy to slowly overcome terrain obstacles.

"Estimated targets will appear on the sidewalls of the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors!"

"The enemies are slowing down to avoid the minefields!"

"Commander, should we actively trigger the mines?"

Dongfang Zhenghong replied calmly, "Human individual targets are too small; the mines prepared for chthonians are easily blocked by layers of earth. Active detonation would have poor results. Let’s wait for them to get closer."

"Yes!"

Wang Jixuan felt somewhat relieved upon seeing this.

Truthfully, he was quite worried about Uncle Tai and his team’s safety.

But hearing Dongfang Zhenghong’s tone and recalling Lao Fu’s earlier assurance that they had enough battle power prepared, he felt a bit more confident.

Fortress 76 was now an important Spiritual Power Weapon development and production center; D5 couldn’t just abandon it.

Moreover, Wang Jixuan noticed some scenes inside the fortress in the corner of Dongfang Zhenghong’s screen.

Most civilians had entered shelters on various floors;

Mechanized bodies filled the streets of Middle City and Upper City;

The Black Shell had equipped the third-generation half-human mechas for Spiritual Ability Users, ready for bombardment at any moment.

The military indeed made thorough preparations.

Additionally:

Autonomous mechanical bodies had strong learning capabilities, allowed by human commanders to share battle experiences and continuously evolve tactics using their computational network to upgrade their combat strategies.

The autonomous mechanical bodies had already accumulated significant combat experience against the Blade Beasts;

Recently, the protracted battles in the Combined Combat Zone’s Xingrui Wilderness allowed the autonomous mechanical bodies to gather extensive data on Spiritual Ability Users.

The combat capabilities of these mechanical bodies were being constantly unlocked.

Therefore, Wang Jixuan looked forward to the upcoming battle, curious about the spectacle of these Spiritual Ability Users trapped in a sea of mechanical bodies.

They’re getting close!

The Spiritual Ability Users utilized some special abilities, navigating through the underground minefield, somewhat like Ji Xiao’s ability yet different...

Mu Dan closed her eyes, focusing on live operational scheduling for Wang Jixuan.

The atmosphere in Dongfang Zhenghong’s Command Hall grew increasingly tense;

Wang Jixuan could almost hear the heartbeat from the scene in sync with his own.

Suddenly, the red dots on the large screen ahead stopped moving, hitting a wall and beginning to align along an arc.

These red dots were about sixty to seventy meters straight away from the fortress’s sidewall.

The defense array’s wall!

"What’s happening?" Dongfang Zhenghong frowned and asked.

A nearby officer reported, "Commander! They might be regrouping! They’re very close to us!"

Dongfang Zhenghong nodded, thinking quickly.

Unfortunately, their mechanical bodies, half-human mechas, and Special Team could only operate in normal space, helpless against enemies hiding in the rock layers with Spiritual Energy.

Master Wang, watching this, slightly leaned back.

"Mu Dan?"

"Yes."

"Did I not tell them before that I set up a large array?"

"I did," Mu Dan replied softly, "but they didn’t seem to care much, thinking it’s your new technology to protect the seventh floor."

Wang Jixuan:...

Alright, it shouldn’t affect things.

Breaking this protective array would consume much of the Spiritual Ability Users’ Spiritual Energy, indirectly reducing financial losses for their side.

Mu Dan suddenly said, "Sir, Commander Dongfang has captured the Spiritual Ability Users’ communication signal. Would you like to listen?"

"Listen."

Crackle.

After some static, the voices of several middle-aged men and women came through:

"What’s going on? Why can’t we move forward?"

"I can feel Spiritual Energy flowing, like a wall right in front of us, but I can’t capture its fluctuations precisely."

"Strange, it looks like a glass wall is blocking us though there is nothing visible."

"We’re not far from the fortress, I can sense a massive cavity ahead, that’s the inside of the fortress."

"Exactly how far?"

"Sixty meters... Angel Commander, what do you propose we do?"

"You guys spread out slightly, I’ll blast it open... be mindful of nearby mines; we can’t stay underground too long as Captain Lu’s ability can’t be sustained for long."
