Chapter 451: Chapter 239: The Three Main Cannons, Dimension Crystal Treasury, How Could It Be Targeted by Dark Night?_2

Connet carefully sensed, seeming to be an illusion, glanced at Pier who had already lowered his head, slightly frowned, and gently said, "Sit."

Pier sat down with a bit of restraint, Connet sized him up and down, shook his head secretly, and directly asked, "Pier, let me ask you, do you have a way to bypass the base’s blockade and communicate externally?"

Hearing this, Pier, who had been merely restrained, suddenly changed his expression, hurriedly stood up, "Leader, I am loyal to the organization, I absolutely have no second thoughts."

"I’m not doubting you." Connet seemed a bit helpless and emphasized, "I’m just asking if you have the capability?"

Assured that Connet was not suspecting him, Pier slowly sat down, took a deep breath, and thought, "Leader, our base’s blockade is not a filtering type, but an absolute cut off, there’s simply no way to communicate externally."

"Logically, it’s impossible to surpass this blockade."

"Not even a Great Mechanic?" Connet inquired further.

Connet indeed suspected Des, but seemed not entirely sure, thus he was looking for evidence.

Hmm... My performance hasn’t definitely resulted in creating a Tanluo Monarch Sublimator, so Des still has value, can’t tear up face directly.

Pier shook his head, "It’s not a technical issue, it’s physically impossible, our base is like an isolated island, there are no boats for external contact, it’s impossible to escape."

"Impossible?" Connet roughly understood, his brows slightly furrowed.

"However..." Pier seemed to think of something, noticing Connet’s gaze, he hurriedly said, "Our base isn’t completely an isolated island, there are just a few limited lines through which contact is possible."

He explained, "If via these few lines, data attachment is carried out, indeed there’s a very small possibility of external contact."

It was rather complicated, and Connet took a long time listening to Pier’s explanation to finally understand.

"It means there is still a potential for external contact." Connet frowned slightly dissatisfied, after so much back and forth, why not just state the final conclusion at the beginning.

Pier explained in a low voice, "This kind of external contact is extremely difficult, requiring the..."

"Okay, I understand." Connet, expressionless, waved his hand to stop Pier from going on with a jargon-filled lengthy explanation.

"I only need you to tell me, can such external communication be detected?"

"It’s difficult..." Pier helplessly shook his head, "Your communication lines are completely cut off from the outside, and so is the information department, they nearly never interact with the internal network."

"To use these lines, one must penetrate the internal network..."

He stopped midway because Connet raised his hand again.

"I understand." Connet’s expressionless face signaled Pier to leave, and Pier awkwardly stood up.

Upon exiting, he hurriedly wiped his sweat and stood in front of the elevator, feeling a bit nervous.

As the elevator doors opened, he was about to enter, but was startled as a shadow approached him, Pier looked up and was taken aback: "Lord Ted."

Ted, known as a Life Form, was burly, fully clad in thick Combat Armor, cheeks indigo-colored, angular and sharp as if chiseled.

Pier stepped aside, waiting for the other to leave before entering the elevator.

Compared to Pier, Ted’s attitude towards Connet was much calmer, just slightly nodding, "Leader..."

"Ted," Connet nodded, "Go to the warehouse, get a Dimension Crystal, and the related materials, sacrifice to Balzak, and perform temporary defense on the main base."

"Warehouse? Dimension Crystal?"

Already hidden in Ted’s shadow, Li Ming felt a wave of emotion in his heart.

"Balzak?" Ted appeared somewhat surprised, couldn’t help asking, "Is someone attacking the base?"

"No." Connet shook his head, "There was an accident, someone called Dark Night, I don’t know where he got my contact from, directly inquired about the base location, planning to come and find Azure Dragon."

"Hmm?"

Li Ming had been pondering the situation of the warehouse, but suddenly hearing information about himself, he was momentarily stunned.

Dark Night? Who’s that? Don’t seem to have heard of him, why is he looking for me?

"Looking for Azure Dragon?" Ted was perplexed, "Is he an enemy or a friend?"

"Hard to say." Connet massaged his temples, seeming very troubled, "Based on what I know, this Dark Night is the one who assassinated Duke Guya."

"What?" Ted was astonished.

Li Ming was also shocked, a super assassin targeting Duke Guya?

Why were they looking for him? Could it be that someone had hired the assassin to target him?

Li Ming instinctively speculated, suddenly feeling a surge of crisis, considering Duke Guya’s life and death were uncertain, let alone himself.

Why had this fearsome person suddenly set his sights on him?

"It’s him," Connet said helplessly. "I tried to inquire indirectly, but the only thing the person said was to give the coordinates and not to worry, he had no other intentions."

Dark Night seemed to completely dismiss him, speaking too simply. Their main base had been hidden for so long, could they just casually tell someone else?

Even if the other party was a powerful entity who had assassinated Duke Guya, he couldn’t just trust them, but he had a feeling that the other party might have other ways to find him, so he had to be cautious.

"What exactly is the background of this Azure Dragon, to have attracted such a person?" Ted also marveled to himself.

"I don’t know, Des had previously said that he might bring too much trouble, I thought it was an exaggeration, but no sooner had we arrived here than we attracted such a powerful life form," Connet sighed deeply,

"I just hope he can quickly produce the Sublimator."

"I understand," Ted said solemnly, without saying much else, and turned to leave.

"Dark Night..." Li Ming’s heart felt heavy, being inexplicably targeted by a super assassin was unsettling for anyone.

But no matter how much he thought about it, aside from the Yitelan Civilization, he hadn’t offended any significant figures.

Dark Night definitely wasn’t hired by Yitelan or the Star Abyss Empire, especially since he had just assassinated Duke Guya.

Then who was it?

This time, he truly had no suspicions to consider.

The more he thought about it, the more it troubled him.

After exiting the elevator, Ted swiftly made his way deeper into the base, passing through multiple security checks, until he stopped in front of a metal gate wrapped in a purple Energy Film.

"Lord Ted," the guard nodded, performing another verification.

After ensuring everything was in order, the thick door wrapped in the purple Energy Film slowly opened, and Ted was about to step through as usual.

But this time, for some unknown reason, he encountered an unprecedented resistance; the purple energy film ripple like waves, then rebounded with a tremendous force, hurling him backwards.

Bang!

He crashed into a metal wall and fell to the ground, his physical pain paling in comparison to his confusion.

"Why did this happen?" Ted looked bewildered.

The guard grimaced, "Lord Ted, the leader has strict orders, only one person can enter at a time."

"But I am alone," Ted frowned, looking around before attempting to advance again.

The guard meant to stop him, but seeing Ted’s unpleasant expression, hesitated and stopped.

This time the purple Energy Film had no reaction, and Ted stepped right through it.

Stopping behind the energy film, he looked back in confusion.

Unsure of what had just happened, he shook his head and moved deeper inside.

The guards exchanged puzzled looks, also unsure how to explain what had occurred.

From one of the soldier’s shadows, Li Ming was secretly astonished.

The purple Energy Film could actually detect his presence, seeming to possess the power of some Dimensional Creature.

"In the future, I need to be more cautious. The powers of Dimensional Creatures are bizarre and unpredictable, not something that general detection devices of the Torch Organization can compete with."

Li Ming reminded himself, looking back at the purple Energy Film, feeling somewhat heated, unsure how many Dimension Crystals it might contain.
