"No bombs found, and no miners found either?" This was very strange, the leader thought, frowning.

So many nails confirm that this woman did indeed descend to a depth of one thousand meters. Did she have helpers? She definitely did. No normal human could do this, not even a mutated powerhouse.

The leader's physical abilities had also undergone mutation and advancement, making him one of the strongest individuals in this base. Yet, even he dared not and could not do such a thing.

The elevator can only go down to a depth of one thousand meters. If it goes any deeper, the machine will malfunction. However, without protective equipment, the leader has no way to send people down to investigate. Going down without protective gear will only result in two things: either becoming a monster like those miners, or dying.

It's impossible to send the message back.

With no way to conduct further exploration, the leader dared not delay any longer. Apart from those around him, no one else knew about the bomb in the mine.

If it weren't for his duty, he wouldn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer.

The subordinate checked the condition of the five injured people and replied, "These two are dead, and there are two unconscious people. The one who is conscious doesn't look too good either. Should we take him back for treatment?"

The leader also saw their condition; their clothes tore easily, and their exposed skin showed signs of severe burns.

The fact that there were bombs in the mine couldn't be revealed. These people were beyond saving. The leader made a decision in an instant: "Throw them into the mine. They won't survive."

Without hesitation, the subordinates immediately carried out the order and followed their leader away.

Back downstairs, the leader quickly issued orders: all work should continue as usual, and guards should remain stationed at the energy mine to record any activity and report back upon his return.

After arranging his work, he took the twenty-odd surviving guards who knew the situation and left the seabed in a submarine.

The closer they got to the warships above, the heavier the leader's mood became. If he could, he would love to sneak away in this submarine, but unfortunately they had no way to evade detection.

The white captain of the warship received him and asked him to recount the entire incident in detail.

Under the other party's piercing gaze, the leader recounted in detail everything that had happened after Li Ke and Chen Nanxing appeared at the base.

An interpreter was taking notes nearby, and there was also a recording device to record every single word he uttered.

Soon their weapons were confiscated and they were temporarily taken away and imprisoned. The warship also began to slowly sail away from the underwater base, increasing the distance while sending messages to the nuclear submarine base further away.

After exchanging information, the two white captains quickly made arrangements. While quietly increasing the distance for protection, they decided to send another group of controllable personnel with protective equipment to the underwater base as soon as possible. The matter of the bomb still needed to be confirmed again.

This underwater base was originally built by the R country. After the disaster, the West took over the area. However, the underwater conditions are complex and harsh. After the discovery of solar energy minerals, the hidden dangers have become even greater. Therefore, the R country still manages the base itself.

All we need to do is periodically supply these fleets with manpower and resources, and then collect the mineral resources from inside.

Now that this has happened, if a bomb has indeed been discovered, then their entire fleet will have to evacuate from here.

They had witnessed the disasters caused by blasting in solar energy mines; its destructive power was unstoppable.

While making the arrangements, the warship also encrypted the message and quickly transmitted it to the main base.

The captain of the warship was also deep in thought. Given the situation below the solar energy mine, if there really was a bomb, nearly four hours had passed, and it should have been destroyed by now.

But nails were indeed driven into the mine shaft, and that woman was indeed quite capable; no one was found inside the base, nor was there any trace of her leaving outside.

What if she's hiding in the mine, waiting to cause trouble? This conjecture is quite bold, yet not impossible.

There was also the warehouse that had suddenly become empty inside the base. Although he didn't completely believe the one-sided story of the guards in the base, if this woman really had such abilities, things would be even more complicated.

After sailing at sea for a day and a night, Xia Qing and Meng Yu, along with the other team members, finally made contact with Xia Ji. The two of them kept Li Ke and Chen Nanxing's affair a secret.

All she told her teammates was that after waking up, she couldn't find anyone else on the ship. As for Li Ke, they said she had never appeared on the ship.

It wasn't that they didn't want to help Li Ke, but Li Ke reminded them that Xiao Yi's accident was due to betrayal by his own people, and she didn't want any more people to know about her situation.

After discussing it, Xia Qing and Meng Yu realized that they were insignificant and might say the wrong thing, causing Li Ke more trouble. In the end, they decided to pretend they knew nothing.

Given Xia Ji's and the others' abilities, they'll find out what they want to know sooner or later, and Li Ke's skills will allow her to escape unscathed in most situations as well.

After receiving the news, Xia Ji reported the latest situation to the captain. He had previously deduced that the shipwreck and underwater vortex incident were likely the result of a joint operation between R country and the West.

After receiving the news, the captain only instructed Xia Ji to focus on searching for the missing personnel, while they were still negotiating with the West for cooperation on mining operations.
