"Linguan City?" Fang Qingdai's heart skipped a beat. Could there really be such a coincidence?

The hidden passage of Outpost No. 4 has an exit near Linguan City. Just a few hundred meters from the entrance of the passage, you can see the ruined city gate of Linguan City in the distance!

This passage was definitely not built in a short period of time, because after Jing Yi and his group settled in Lin Guan City, they patrolled and guarded the surrounding area every day. If the construction had started in a short period of time, Jing Yi and his group would not have been unaware of it.

If the passage had existed long ago, Zhu Lingfeng's faction would have made countless trips back and forth, especially recently, as the area around Outpost No. 4 was surrounded and this was the only passage available.

Did any of their people encounter Jing Yi and his group as they came and went?

Could they discover that people are living inside the city of Linguan?

Xiao Mao was the most uneasy, after all, his mother had only recently arrived in Linguan City.

"Sister, quickly ask Brother Jingyi..." Considering that the ** family was present, Xiao Mao swallowed the rest of his words.

Fang Qingdai took out her bracelet and told Jing Yi about the new findings.

Linguan City was once one of the strongholds of the Xuanwu Base. There are remaining base stations here, and the signal is still good. In addition, the distance is close, so Fang Qingdai's message was sent out safely.

After sending the message, Fang Qingdai remembered to ask Xuan Liu, "Has the base commander replied yet?"

Xuan Liu frowned and shook his head: "It shows that the message was sent successfully on my end. I don't know if the base commander's signal is unstable and he didn't receive it or what. There has been no reply yet."

Fang Qingdai frowned upon hearing this.

The base commander usually stays inside the base, in an environment with stable signal, so it's impossible for him not to receive information.

Has something happened at the base?

Without support from the base, it would be difficult to transfer all the superhumans.

not to mention……

Zhu Lingfeng was the commander-in-chief of this battle. Their unauthorized withdrawal from the battlefield was already an act of desertion. If they wanted to escape, they would have to confront Zhu Lingfeng and his men head-on and force their way through.

Even if they manage to escape Xuanwu No. 4 outpost safely and return to Xuanwu base, will they face other punishments?

To be exonerated, they would need to obtain evidence that Zhu Lingfeng deliberately besieged the superhumans and kidnapped them for human experimentation.

But if that evidence were put out in the open, it would definitely cause a huge uproar at the base.

Fang Qingdai never dared to gamble on how many people in the wasteland would oppose human experimentation.

If more people know about this experiment and defect to gain more power, the wasteland will surely be engulfed in bloodshed, and the current superficial peace will be impossible to maintain!

Thinking of this, Fang Qingdai explained the implications to Xuan Liu in detail, and then said, "Send the message a few more times. What if something unexpected happens and the base commander doesn't receive the first message?"

Xuanba thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we also send messages to other high-ranking officials we know? If we send them to a few more, surely some of them will receive the message!"

"No!" Fang Qingdai and Xuan Liu stopped them in unison.

"How can you be sure that none of the people you sent the message to are members of that organization?"

After all, both Li Weidong and Zhu Lingfeng are prominent high-ranking figures in the Xuanwu Base, and they can be said to control most of the Xuanwu Base's armed forces!

Given that organization's ability to control everything, who knows how many more tricks they have up their sleeves, or how many of their people are still hiding in the base?

Xuanba became somewhat agitated after hearing the explanation: "How could there possibly be so many people from that organization? If so many high-ranking officials were involved, the Xuanwu Base would have been their personal fiefdom long ago, so why would they need to kidnap people secretly?"

If everyone were a ghost, the base commander wouldn't have lasted this long!

"You guys are too suspicious. If you're really that suspicious, you might as well suspect the base commander too!" Xuanba said irritably, then turned to look at the sullen and angry man to the side.

But his casual remark made Fang Qingdai's heart sink!

Base Commander...

Is the base commander really 100% trustworthy?

On the surface, he and Li Weidong seem to have opposing political views and are somewhat mutually restraining.

But what if it's just a facade put on by the two of them?

Putting everything else aside, it's impossible that the base commander was unaware of the exact number of alien beasts in this battle, or that he didn't inquire about Li Weidong's battle plans.

Knowing that there weren't enough people to deal with the siege of so many alien beasts, didn't the base chief raise any objections?

Xuan Liu has sent messages multiple times but has not received a response yet. Has something happened at the Xuanwu Base, or has the base commander received the request for help but is deliberately ignoring it?

The more Fang Qingdai thought about it, the uglier her face became. Noticing that something was wrong with Fang Qingdai's expression, Xuan Liu said in a deep voice, "Impossible! The base commander would never collude with that force!"

Xuan Liu said solemnly, "The old base chief devoted himself to the base's residents. I personally witnessed his hair turn white from working so hard for the base's development. He would never collude with that force!"

"Even a few years ago, the old base chief insisted on personally leading teams into the wasteland to clear out the alien beasts and plants. The major strongholds of the Xuanwu Base were basically all captured by the old base chief personally leading his men. He did it all for the development of the base and wanted the residents of the Xuanwu Base to live a more peaceful life. How could such an old hero who died for his country tolerate such a vicious thing as human experimentation!"

Seeing Xuan Liu's agitated state, Fang Qingdai's worry slowly dissipated.

She also didn't want to doubt the old base chief.

The old base chief's character and conduct clearly indicated that he was a descendant of military personnel, and he may even have joined that green organization himself.

Fang Qingdai had a biased view of the people in that organization, and the base leader had protected the Fang Qingdai sisters several times, so she always felt somewhat close to the base leader.

It's just that Xuanba has led them astray, causing them to see threats everywhere and making everyone suspicious.

Fang Qingdai sighed, "I understand."

Xuan Liu wanted to say something more, but suddenly he heard the sound of a sand cart coming from the wasteland!

Everyone's expression froze, and Fang Qingdai immediately recalled everyone back into her spatial dimension.

A few minutes later, two sand trucks slowly drove closer and finally stopped at the spot where Fang Qingdai and the others had just been!

Fang Qingdai's consciousness remained outside the space, observing as several unfamiliar men got out of the car. When their gazes fell on the passageway they had opened from the inside, Fang Qingdai couldn't help but slap her forehead!

It happened so suddenly, I forgot to close the passageway door!

"How come this passage is open?"

The pedestrians exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the wide-open passage, and their expressions changed drastically. They raised their hands and frantically entered something into their wristbands, presumably to report to their superiors!

Fang Qingdai was completely numb and was thinking about how to deal with it when she suddenly heard the sound of a sand truck.

"Who's coming?" The group of people heard the commotion and picked up their weapons, looking warily in the direction of the oncoming vehicle.

When Fang Qingdai saw those familiar dune buggies in the distance, her heart finally died!
