Minister Shao suppressed his anxiety: "How much longer?"

As for power outages, that's a joke. The backup power in places like this is seamlessly switched.

Moreover, the power system is self-contained, and it's difficult for external entities to simply cut it off.

In addition, there are more than one or two sets of the most advanced power generation equipment, so there is no need to worry about power outages.

Even if we assume that BCIA truly had the foresight to leave a port in this regard, Liu Yun still has mobile batteries and mobile controlled nuclear fusion reactors available, so this is something she really can't do without.

Therefore, Minister Shao didn't care about the power supply at all.

The main concern is that the BCIA headquarters' large-scale disturbance will attract the US military to attack and kill them.

Running away at this point is fine, but if you drag it out for too long, you'll most likely be surrounded.

"Three hours and nineteen minutes." Liu Yun was puzzled; the conversation between Shan Cha and Minister Shao lasted quite a while.

Minister Shao: "It has indeed taken quite a while."

Liu Yun: "It's alright, everyone else can go first. I'll be on my own, it'll be easier for me to move around."

Minister Shao: "Please pay close attention to safety."

Liu Yun: "Mm."

Talk is cheap; actions speak louder than words.

Concern leads to confusion.

Minister Shao didn't say much to Liu Yun. After hanging up the phone, he opened a hidden photo album containing only a few photos.

The person in the photo looks older and more frail each year; their condition is not good.

Minister Shao touched the person in the photo with his fingers, and his eyes welled up with tears again: "Honghong..."

He never imagined he would see his daughter again.

As if remembering something, Minister Shao sent a message to the research space department.

"If we had a Tiangong survival pod, could we put living people inside?"

The response was quick: "Theoretically, it's possible. And we've tested it, and it works."

"But this is a huge problem!"

"Whether it's a space capsule or a Tiangong survival capsule, getting in and out is troublesome. Moreover, once you're inside, you can't just leave whenever you want; it requires the owner's will."

"The people inside are like fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others."

"These operations depend on one's luck."

"Moreover, it is really troublesome to put the cabin in and out every time, and then open the cabin to go in and out again. I don't think anyone would want to do it this way."

Upon hearing this, Minister Shao fell silent.

That's true. It's like handing over the power of life and death to someone else, leaving no room for struggle. Not many people would be willing to do that.

I'm not worried about anyone using this space to carry living beings. The underlying logic is that living beings cannot enter the space.

Therefore, this method of hiding people is also prohibited.

This operation is like walking a tightrope; one wrong move and you could die.

Meanwhile, Liu Yun handed the phone back to Shan Cha, "Did you hear that?"

Shancha needs to go out and contact Zhang Linyuan and the others, so she can use the phone for now.

Camellia took the phone, her attitude becoming even more respectful: "I heard you, senior."

Liu Yun: "Then you go and clean up first, and have everyone leave. As for any data or intelligence, it's not that important."

Camellia nodded: "Yes, senior."

Looking up at the people in the equipment hut, he said, "Actually, back then we all felt that Sister Hong must have been specifically targeted and deliberately framed."

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case."

It's obvious that they are researching the topic of extracting internal energy. Shao Hong not only cultivates internal energy, but also has very high strength and extraordinary endurance, making her a perfect test subject.

Liu Yun glanced sideways: "Oh!"

Have you ever saved anyone?

Camellia: "The site was cleaned up so thoroughly that there was no way to proceed."

"Although we all suspected it might be related to the BCIA, no one was able to break in."

"Even if someone deliberately gets caught and brought in, they'll be trapped inside and never get out."

Minister Shao ordered everyone not to come and break in without permission, and also forbade anyone to mention Sister Hong's matter again.

"None of us knew anything about that photo."

This is tantamount to killing someone by breaking their spirit.

Every year, they rub salt into Minister Shao's wounds and repeatedly press on them.

Liu Yun: "...What do you want to say?"

Camellia: "Senior, don't let Michael go. Even if we can't bring him back to Yan Kingdom, we can't let him die too easily and be too relieved."

How could Minister Shao be tortured like this without Michael's authorization?

She only learned today how much Minister Shao had personally endured.

Liu Yun: "I understand. I will bring him back to Yan Kingdom. Don't worry."

"Actually... although Michael did a terrible thing, he also told Minister Shao that Shao Hong is still alive."

"As long as people are alive, there is still hope."

She believed that Minister Shao was suffering greatly inside, but also secretly harbored a glimmer of hope and a secret joy.

"Even Michael didn't know that he had also told Minister Shao through a photograph that his daughter, even though her situation was getting worse year by year, had not disgraced him and had certainly not revealed anything."

"Rather break than bend, heroes never yield."

"Because this childish behavior is entirely a product of Michael's anger at getting nothing in return."

Of course, that's just talk; it's just self-comfort.

Minister Shao would never have imagined that Michael and his group would actually come up with a technological version of the Star Absorbing Technique, just to extract Shao Hong's internal energy to strengthen themselves.

Fortunately... he had something to ask for, and he couldn't bear to see Shao Hong die.

Camellia smiled and said, "Thank you, senior."

The little girl was incredibly devout, and there was really nothing else to say. She bowed once and walked away.
