Aircraft were extremely rare in the Mist Age because the monsters in the sky were so powerful that ordinary planes simply could not fly.

As for trains, the location of the tracks cannot be changed. Not to mention the destruction by monsters, if cultists want to cause trouble, they can cause a major disaster simply by lying in wait near the tracks.

Not to mention the possibility of fog appearing on the railway tracks, which would render the entire railway unusable.

Therefore, when traveling outside the base city, people mainly use cars, or the Awakened Ones simply travel on their own two legs.

Base City 1 is thousands of kilometers away from Base City 116.

Along the way, we will also pass through several foggy areas and some disaster zones where mental pollution has made the roads dangerous and prevented the car from moving forward.

Therefore, it took Lu Ning and his group more than a week to reach Base City No. 1.

This is Lu Ning's first time visiting Base City No. 1.

The base city is much larger than base city 116.

The base city is surrounded by three giant mountain ranges, forming a natural barrier.

The silver-gray city wall is two to three hundred meters high, stretching as far as the eye can see, and probably covering an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

Above the base city, there was a special semi-transparent light film covering the sky, with complex runes flashing on the film.

Lu Ning guessed that these were protective membranes formed by the divine manifestation of demigods.

Although Base City 116 also has a defensive force field to resist mental pollution.

However, it is far inferior to Base City No. 1.

The city wall on one side of the base city has several gates.

People came and went outside the city gate, and caravans passed by.

Some of these caravans were composed of Free Awakeners, some were caravans from other base cities, and others were members of the Mist Bureau who were going to other base cities or to the wilderness to do missions.

This is what An Lan explained to Lu Ning.

As high-level awakened individuals of the Mist Bureau, even if their usual residences are not in Base City 1, they have visited Base City 1 several times and are certainly more familiar with the situation in Base City than Lu Ning.

The group arrived at a city gate for inspection.

Lu Ning discovered that the level of scrutiny was much higher than that of Base City 116. In addition to testing for mental pollution and identity, it was also necessary to pass through the Soul-Shaking Matrix and the Wall of Oaths.

The former is a mental shock device driven by soul crystals. It has no effect on normal people, but if a person with a serious mental disorder is exposed to this mental shock device, they will be directly exposed.

This thing was developed by An Lan and a group of scientists.

The latter is an invisible wall manifested by the spiritual power of a saint, which authenticates the essence of humanity through a special soul imprint.

Only those who pass the triple test are allowed to enter and exit the base city.

Even the three saints, including Yann, were no exception.

After a few minutes of testing, Lu Ning and his group entered the base city.

Lu Ning discovered that the buildings in the base city were much taller than those in Base City 116 and Base City 121, which Lu Ning had visited before.

Buildings tens of meters tall are common in Base 1, and there are even buildings over a hundred meters tall.

The level of prosperity here is almost the same as before Lu Ning entered the mist.

Entering the city gate, there is a wide street that leads deep into the city. From Lu Ning's perspective, he can see four white towers standing at the end of the street several kilometers away, with an even taller black obelisk in the center of each tower.

Seeing Lu Ning looking in the direction of the obelisk, An Lan explained, "Those four towers are the observation towers where the headquarters of the Mist Bureau is located. Inside, there are saints and advanced instruments that simultaneously observe the movement of the mist. The one in the center is the Heroes' Monument, where the names of all the members who bravely sacrificed their lives in the Mist Bureau are engraved."

Lu Ning was taken aback and looked at An Lan: "Will other base cities also have them engraved on it?"

An Lan nodded: "Yes, the names of your teammates who sacrificed themselves in Base City 116 are also on the list."

Lu Ning paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Jerry grinned and said, "I remember when the Heroes' Monument was first erected, Lord Li Yang said that the names should be written as small as possible so that they wouldn't be too small to be engraved. At the time, others thought that Lord Li Yang was being too pessimistic. Now that I think about it, Lord Li Yang was really prescient."

Osiris, standing nearby, couldn't help but exclaim, "Yes, this obelisk is over two hundred meters tall, making it the tallest building in the entire base city. It uses micro-engraving, and its four sides can be engraved with over one hundred million names. It's already engraved on almost half of the area."

Yann sighed and said, "The most deaths occurred during the initial turbulent years. In the later period of stability, the casualties were relatively low. However, in recent years, quite a few people have died every year."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ning asked in surprise, "Was this obelisk erected by Li Yang?"

“Hmm.” An Lan nodded and smiled, “According to Lord Li Yang, in the ancient Chinese civilization, this is a solemn act to commemorate heroes. He said that every member of the Mist Bureau who sacrificed for the continuation of human civilization is a hero.”

Lu Ning nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Yann smiled and said, "Let's go to headquarters first; there's a lot to do."

Everyone nodded, hailed a taxi at random, and headed towards the city center of Base 1.

The headquarters is also located in the square, between the four observation towers, with its main gate facing the obelisk.

After the vehicle stopped, the group passed through the observation tower and obelisk and headed towards the headquarters.

As Lu Ning passed by the obelisk, he looked up and saw that there were many golden characters engraved on the top of the black obelisk.

The text is very small; an average person at the bottom would probably not be able to see it at all, and would only see a dense mass of gold.
