Chapter 479: Chapter 336: Public Facility Base

As ships and fighter jets take off from the public base.

Everything was as Li Yi expected—despite its decay, the Genetic Federation would not just watch a city fall. They were bound to use military force to retake Philadelphia.

"Yi, the genetic warriors at the Public Base are moving. They’re heading towards Philadelphia." Hong Zhen looked up at the sky, seeming a bit excited.

At this moment.

Li Yi and his team, with two hundred people, had already infiltrated the vicinity of the Public Base, camouflaged and ready to fight at any moment.

After waiting for a whole night.

The next morning, they finally saw their opportunity.

"Ji Ke, come with me. The rest of you wait here. Watch for my signal. If we succeed in hacking the base system, we will take the opportunity to seize the base. If it fails, we will immediately retreat the same way, don’t worry about us. With my ability, I can fully ensure Ji Ke’s safe evacuation." Li Yi didn’t dawdle.

Gang Qi swept through, and he immediately rushed out with Ji Ke.

The intelligent robot Lan Ji had been placed in a magical storage artifact by him, ready to be summoned at any time.

After breaking through to the Soul Realm, his Gang Qi became much stronger, and his Soul Power was now able to slightly control the human body’s energy field. Though he couldn’t freely fly, levitation was no issue, making Li Yi even more adept at flight using Gang Qi.

And swifter.

The only downside was that he couldn’t fly very high.

But Li Yi had a backup plan, he carried a magic sword that, once utilized, could carry him flying at an extremely fast speed, so he did not worry about being trapped.

After Ji Ke became a genetic warrior, his body was enhanced and he could withstand such levels of flying.

Soon.

Li Yi had already infiltrated the Public Base’s security line.

Strangely, their entrance did not trigger any alarms, nor were they detected by the guard robots. No, it wasn’t that they weren’t detected, it was as if all the guard robots had disappeared.

"Were they deployed to Philadelphia? Or has the Public Base also decayed to the point that it no longer has the extra money to maintain a sufficient number of robotic guards?" Li Yi pondered with a slight shift in his gaze.

Although something felt off, his soul did not sense danger so he continued with his action.

Quickly.

He, along with Ji Ke, charged into the Public Base and identified the direction towards the command center.

If he could take down the command center and hack into the base’s intelligent system, Li Yi would be able to control this place.

However, as Li Yi and Ji Ke approached the command room, Li Yi abruptly stopped.

A stench of blood wafted through the air.

Someone died here?

Li Yi swiftly readied himself for battle.

But at that moment.

The heavy door of the command room slowly opened, and the body of a uniformed genetic warrior was thrown out, his blood still warm, seemingly freshly dead. Then, a man of average build and plain appearance, wearing battle armor, slowly walked out from inside.

His hands were stained with blood, his eyes were exceptionally resolute, different from the other genetic warriors.

"Genes should be free, privileges should be abolished, everyone should be equal... People should not be afraid of the Genetic Federation; the Genetic Federation should be afraid of the people... What an impressive speech. Your thinking is more advanced than our resistance army, and your ideals are even greater than ours."

"Pleased to meet you, the resistance leader of Philadelphia, Yi."

The man approached with a smile, "My name is Hughes, a member of the resistance army and currently the captain of the Public Base. I’m sorry for acting on my own and taking over the command center before your arrival."

"Resistance army, Hughes?" Li Yi’s gaze flickered, "You know about me?"

"Our resistance also has members in Philadelphia. I’m well aware of what’s happened there. But none of them are as outstanding as you, Yi. You are a born leader. Just one speech at the junk bar and you took over the Hope Building in one day. What surprised me even more was that after seizing the Hope Building, instead of claiming everything for yourself, you distributed the gene serum to all the people of Philadelphia."

"That moment will be remembered by all and will become the future guideline for the actions of the resistance army."

Despite Hughes’s calm expression, his gaze was fervent as he admired and longed for Li Yi.

The resistance had been skulking around for so many years and had never achieved such a significant victory as they had today.

Although Philadelphia was small.

The significance was immense. If they could replicate this behavior throughout other cities, the corrupt Genetic Federation would surely be overthrown and become history.

"Your flattery is ineffective on me, and I don’t trust you. Ji Ke, take Lan Ji to the command room, take over the Public Base. Once successful, immediately activate the defense system and shoot down all the returning ships and fighter jets from Philadelphia."

Li Yi then released Lan Ji from the storage artifact and issued his order.

Ji Ke hesitated for a moment, then immediately said, "No problem."

He then took Lan Ji and headed to the command room.

"Captain Hughes, the fruits of our action are just taken away by someone else, is that really okay?"

At this moment, other people were also present in the command room. Four gene warriors walked out, among them a female gene warrior clad in battle armor, who stared at Ji Ke and Li Yi with a face full of dissatisfaction.

"It’s fine, the communal base is not ours alone, it belongs to everyone. Yi, more than anyone, is great, and he can better utilize the value of this base." Hughes stopped his other teammates, and willingly offered up the fruits of many years’ efforts to Li Yi.

"Yi, I know this is our first meeting, and it’s normal for you to be cautious and doubtful towards me, but believe me, our goals are the same. Moreover, I can sense an indomitable power in your words, a power that the people of the world need right now."

Li Yi glanced at these people.

Their strength was not weak; they were all Level 5 gene warriors, and this Hughes in particular was a Level 6 gene warrior, with signs of evolution on his body, indicating that he had undergone cultivation in the ways of his own world and broken through genetic limitations. Even within the rebel forces, these people would not hold a low status.

"Let’s save the discussion for later; taking over the communal base is the most important thing right now," Li Yi said.

"Of course," Hughes nodded.

With the help of this group of rebels, everything went very smoothly. Ji Ke soon breached the base’s systems, and then Lan Ji took over. As the base was taken over, various defensive weapons were instantly activated, even many robotic soldiers had their permissions altered and, without hesitation, rebelled.

"Yi, we’ve succeeded," Ji Ke came out and said excitedly.

"Good, notify Hong Zhen and Hei Shi to bring their people in, then open up the armory. Take out all the weapons and arm each person," said Li Yi.

Ji Ke immediately began making contact.

Meanwhile, Li Yi used this time to take the intelligent robot Lan Ji to the base’s armory.

"Yi, I am quite familiar with this base. What kind of weapons do you need? Tell me, and I’ll help you find them," Hughes came up, eagerly showing Li Yi around the communal base’s various weapons and equipment.

Li Yi said, "I need a spaceship, no, the last two. Are there any good ones here?"

"There are three of the latest Thunder warplanes. Perhaps they could meet your needs. They are the private collection of the base commander. For this mission, he was even reluctant to use his own Thunder warplanes, preferring to keep them in storage for viewing. Come with me, I’ll take you to see them," said Hughes.

He then led Li Yi to a separate hangar for the warplanes.

Lan Ji controlled the door and opened it.

Three blue and white warplanes, emitting a faint blue glow, came into view. Their streamlined bodies and fierce gun ports evidenced that these warplanes were a combination of aesthetic value and combat prowess. Even in World No. 6, such warplanes were extremely expensive and rare.

"The firepower of the Thunder warplanes is very strong. The main cannons can fire continuously, and each blast can easily kill a Level 7 gene warrior. If the energy is abundant enough, even a Level 8 gene warrior cannot withstand it," Hughes said. "Having a few of these warplanes in the battlefield would be a nightmare for the enemy."

Li Yi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Easily kill a Level 7 gene warrior? Doesn’t that mean it could also kill those in the Spirit Power Realm?

However, the power of those in the Spirit Power Realm of the Golden Academy should surpass that of a Level 7 gene warrior, but definitely not exceed a Level 8 gene warrior; at most, it would be somewhere between the two.

If he could possess these three Thunder warplanes, and coordinate them properly, killing a Spirit Power Realm powerhouse would definitely be no problem.

Thinking of this, Li Yi’s mind was immediately flooded with various bold ideas.

"I’ll take these three warplanes," he then stared at Hughes.

Hughes did not refuse, instead smiling and saying, "Take them. It would be a pity for them to gather dust in storage. They should bring out more of their value. Yi, in the whole base, throughout Philadelphia, no one is more deserving than you to own them. Moreover, your ideology is a treasure of the whole world and should be protected."

He always regarded Li Yi as a great rebel, without any doubt that Li Yi could be an inherently evil Earth Prisoner.

Therefore, he had no objections to Li Yi’s request.

Li Yi was not shy, and he immediately had Lan Ji take control of the three warplanes.

Such Thunder warplanes did not require a pilot; they could be remotely controlled by connecting the smart brain to the warplane’s internal systems, and with Lan Ji’s computing power, controlling three Thunder warcraft in combat would not be a problem at all.

Since the communal base had been breached smoothly, Lan Ji easily hacked into the Thunder warplanes and took control.

"Start up the warplanes and have them fly to the airspace above the base," said Li Yi.

"Initiating the startup of the Thunder warplanes..." Lan Ji’s voice rang out.

The next moment.

The three Thunder warplanes immediately lit up with a blue glow, followed by the activation of their engines. A surge of power swelled, and the warplanes slowly floated into the air. Then, one after another, they flew out of the warehouse, and after reaching mid-air, they accelerated fiercely, instantly breaking the sound barrier and soaring into the sky.

It was like a bolt of lightning streaking across the heavens.

"What a fine piece of equipment," Li Yi squinted his eyes, feeling that conquering this communal base was indeed the right choice.

It was time to let some people experience the terror of a firepower sweep.
