It was late at night, and all around was extremely quiet. There were no birds chirping or insects buzzing. The only sounds were the faint whisper of the wind and the rustling of the branches.

Leng Yue waited for two whole hours, but the wall remained completely still. No one was seen entering or leaving during that time, and although a hundred-person team was hidden behind it, there wasn't a sound.

By dawn at the latest, Qianchen's main force would surely arrive. Leng Yue was anxious and decided to force her way in.

"Yuyue, aren't we going to wait any longer?" Ling was a little worried because even he couldn't see the other party's true colors clearly at a glance, and he felt uneasy and uncertain.

"I can't wait any longer, I need to go and find out what's going on." Leng Yue checked all the equipment so she could use it at any time.

"Then be careful," Zero said anxiously in the space, "I will do my best to make things convenient for you."

Leng Yue nodded, then adjusted her breathing and walked towards the screen wall.

Leng Yue first carefully walked around the screen wall, but found no gaps. Then she stopped at one spot and gently touched the screen wall.

The moment Leng Yue's finger touched the screen wall, the illusion of stillness vanished. A series of "q" sounds followed, and rows of machine guns appeared on the screen wall, firing furiously.

Zero, inside the space, swiftly erected a protective shield for Leng Yue, preventing her from being harmed. Inside the shield, Leng Yue patted her chest, still shaken by the experience, "Thank goodness for you, otherwise I would have been riddled with holes."

"Be careful!" Zero was also frightened and turned pale. Luckily, he reacted quickly.

Without destruction, there can be no construction. After a fierce attack, the other side opened the gate.

The sturdy black iron door opened, and a small team of people in white protective suits emerged. These men carried guns and wore gas masks, clearly not ordinary bandits.

At this moment, the leader, unable to see anyone, began to speak in a garbled language. Although Leng Yue couldn't understand much, she could clearly tell it was R language.

Zero thoughtfully provided simultaneous translation for Leng Yue, who was apparently talking about the earlier incident with Q-Sound. Since they hadn't seen any injured people or animals after they came out, they had ordered their men to search the surrounding area.

While these people were searching around, Leng Yue quietly slipped inside.

Once inside, Leng Yue realized it was a base. Every ten meters there was a tall tower, with people standing guard on top. These people, like the others, were wearing protective suits and gas masks.

Further inside was a building resembling an office building, equipped with searchlights that rotated every thirty seconds, covering the entire base. However, the building's style was very modern, making it stand out starkly in this remote and impoverished area.

Thanks to the invisibility talisman, Leng Yue successfully passed through the tower and arrived at the main building, which was the office building. In front of the office building was a long corridor. Leng Yue walked through the corridor and saw the main entrance to the main building at the other end.

The gate was tightly shut, and guards stood watch at the entrance. If Leng Yue wanted to go in, she would inevitably alert the guards. But if she didn't go in, she wouldn't know what was inside, especially since she had gone through so much trouble to get here.

Leng Yue thought for a moment, then pulled out a dagger and quickly dispatched the gatekeeper. She swiftly pushed open the door and slipped inside like an eel.

The main building was eerie, with many rooms, but no one was there. Leng Yue pushed open a few doors before stopping. She then went upstairs, only to find it just as empty as downstairs.

"They built such a big house, but they don't live in it. What are they trying to do?" Leng Yue and Ling discussed.

Zero scanned the building and found that, just as Leng Yue had seen, the entire building was empty. However, a shielding phenomenon reappeared beneath the floor.

"Yueyue, the bottom is blocked again." Ling reminded Leng Yue.

Leng Yue looked around but couldn't find an entrance. However, since Ling said there was something below blocking the signal, it meant there must be something else down there.

Based on her past life's experience, Leng Yue tried various methods, tapping on the walls and floor, but found nothing.

"Could the entrance not be here? Is this just a decoy?" Leng Yue wandered around the entire first floor but didn't find anything special.

Suddenly, the spotlight shone through the window, and Leng Yue saw a strange shadow on the floor. Upon closer inspection, she realized the shadow was caused by the unevenness of the floor.

Leng Yue reached out and touched it, discovering that this piece of floorboard was about one millimeter different from the surrounding floorboards. Under normal circumstances, no one would notice it. However, when the searchlight swept over, it highlighted this feature, and Leng Yue happened to notice it.

Leng Yue shrunk the dagger and probed downwards, discovering there was indeed a gap. However, she tried to pry it open but couldn't budge it. "If it doesn't open from the bottom up, then it must be pressed down?"

As Leng Yue spoke, she tried pressing down. With a loud bang, the ground behind Leng Yue completely sank. The previously flat floor turned into steps.

Leng Yue craned her neck to look down, but could only vaguely see a dark staircase; the rest was invisible. After thinking for a moment, Leng Yue took out a flashlight and began to descend the stairs.

There was no wind or light in the passageway. But a faint smell of blood and a slight stench of decay could be detected.

Holding a flashlight in one hand and Xiaoshouqi in the other, Leng Yue walked very quietly. The passage was very long, and it took Leng Yue a full ten minutes to reach the bottom.

At the end of the passage was another sealed-off room, and ahead lay another wall. Leng Yue thought to herself, "No wonder there's no wind; it's sealed off."

Leng Yue gently pushed the wall, but couldn't budge it. Then she began to grope along the wall, finally finding a tiny keyhole in the corner.

"This requires a key. Do you have a master key?" Leng Yue asked Ling.

After searching for a few minutes, I said, "There really is some. Here, take it."

As soon as Zero finished speaking, a silver-gray cross appeared in Leng Yue's hand. Leng Yue looked at the cross in her hand, her face darkening. "Zero, are you kidding me? This is a cross, not a universal key!"

"Give it a try and see." Zero wasn't in a hurry. Although the headquarters might be unreliable in various ways, the system store was still trustworthy.

Leng Yue could only try inserting the key, which looked the least like a key, into the keyhole. She had no hope, but the wall in front of her actually opened.

Before Leng Yue could even be shocked or say anything, she was overwhelmed by the sudden stench of blood and sweat. "Help me, Zero!"

Leng Yue desperately covered her mouth and nose, calling out to Ling for help. Ling brought Leng Yue a gas mask and an oxygen cylinder again.

Even after putting on all of this, Leng Yue was still not at ease, so she opened the protective shield again. She had previously put it away for convenience, but now she opened it again.

Ling thought of the people outside and sent Leng Yue another protective suit. "Put it on, it'll make you feel safer. The protective shield can withstand high-intensity attacks, but it's still not safe if there's radiation or something."

Without saying a word, Leng Yue put on the protective suit again.

Just as Leng Yue finished dressing, she heard voices from upstairs. Without thinking, Leng Yue quickly ran into a small room and hid.
