"But before I leave, can I make a small request?"

"What?" Ye Hongci moved closer.

"Please lend me another 100,000 mental powers. I have used up nearly 9,000 of the 10,000 mental powers, and now there are only more than 1,000 left. I don't think it's enough for me to go to the battlefield." Tu Ran felt uncomfortable.

Driving a mecha consumes too much mental energy. When she injected 10,000 mental energy into it before, the "counting board" showed that her mental energy was at 2%, and there was still something visible on the green progress bar. Now, the green data bar representing mental energy on the "counting board" is empty.

One hundred thousand mental powers were nothing to Ye Hongci. She immediately injected one hundred thousand mental powers into Tu Ran, and asked her to go back and rest for a day before setting off tomorrow.

Tu Ran walked back to the dormitory. At this time, she was the only one in the entire dormitory building. The others were still practicing how to use weapons in the simulation room.

Tu Ran took a shower, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

At that time, dozens of kilometers away from her was the largest detention center on the main planet.

"You told others about the inner elixir's supernatural powers?!"

"Um."

"Are you sick? Why are you saying anything?"

"If I don't tell them, how can they be on guard against Tu Ran? Otherwise, they will think Tu Ran is an ordinary person and be fooled by her."

"You are seriously ill!" Master Qi stared at Zhou Ming in the prison across the detention center fence, "We are now on the same front with Tu Ran! They are on guard against Tu Ran, so they are also on guard against us! How can we get out?! If we can't get out, how can we find the door and return to the Federation?!"

Qi Tongda was so angry that he kept shaking the fence. If it weren't for the fence blocking him, he really wanted to rush over and kick the idiot opposite him a few times.

Zhou Ming, who was sitting opposite him, half leaned on the bed, his head turned to the other side, ignoring him.

The two of them were still arguing when a group of people came walking down the corridor between them.

Qi Tongda recognized at a glance that two of the people in this group were wearing pioneer combat uniforms.

At first he thought it was Tu Ran, but when he looked closely, it was not Tu Ran, but a man and a woman.

He had seen these two people before when the pioneer team and the executive department were carrying out the mission of capturing Tu Ran together.

The woman's name is Yao Bei. According to the idiot on the other side, she is very powerful and her strength can crush Tu Ran.

The man's name seemed to be Ding Qing, and he had a good relationship with Tu Ran. During the mission to capture Tu Ran, he always had a sullen face and was not proactive at all.

Yao Bei and Ding Naiqing were imprisoned in the cell next to him and next to the idiot opposite him, respectively.

After the people who had imprisoned them left, Qi Tongda approached the fence, put his head on it, and stuck his mouth out, "What a coincidence, Yao Bei, Ding Nengqing." He casually threw in the middle character of Ding Naiqing's name, which he couldn't remember.

Yao Bei and Ding Naiqing both approached the fence and looked at him.

Zhou Ming was so shocked by the two names that he stood up from the bed, ran to the fence, leaned on the fence and looked. When he saw that it was really these two people, he immediately asked, "Why are you here?"

Ding Naiqing really disliked this man. He half-lowered his eyes, ignored him and said nothing.

Yao Bei looked around the two of them and frowned, "Should I ask why you are here? When did the guards of the Executive Department become able to come in and out of the 'door' as they please?"

Qi Tongda touched his nose awkwardly, "We are just curious and want to come in to take a look. Besides," thinking of the inner elixir, he suddenly felt more confident, "Why should you pioneers take the inner elixir? What's the problem with the security of our executive department? The higher-ups didn't forbid us to go in, so we can go in if we want."

It's just that their luck was really bad. They came in fully equipped, but they didn't see any alien species. Instead, they saw a group of humans who were obviously new to the world. They were dressed very rustically and pointed at them. The surrounding buildings were also very strange, old and dilapidated, with no trace of the Federation at all.

Before he and Zhou Ming could react, several people from the arrest team came over and wanted to arrest them.

The two of them were so well-equipped that it would have been a disgrace to the executive department if they had been captured. So they fought back and ran away because the situation was so strange that they did not open fire or kill anyone without permission.

The only thing he was thankful for now was that they didn't kill anyone.

They quickly got rid of those middle-aged and elderly members of the capture team who had poor legs and feet. Before they had time to be happy, a helicopter arrived.

Then, a giant net was dropped from a helicopter and covered the two of them. They didn't know what the net was made of, but it couldn't be broken no matter what they did.

The two of them were hung in a helicopter, without any cover, and the flight was very low, enough for everyone on the ground to see them. They flew over a city and were sent here, locked up, and all their weapons and equipment were confiscated.

Young Master Qi has never been so embarrassed since he was born. Fortunately, there is no one he knows in this world.

Ding Naiqing and Yao Bei had similar experiences.

They had been inside the threshold for some time, and this time they were passing through the door to return to the Federation as usual. However, the moment they passed through the door, they did not see the expected various guns and cameras, but instead pairs of inquiring eyes.

"Where are the other members of your team? Are you the only ones who came in?" Yao Bei asked again. She remembered that there was a team on the opposite side. When Tu Ran was transferred from the pioneer team to the executive department, she joined them. She had a deep impression of this incident.

"We all came in," Qi Tongda said, "but only the two of us stayed together after coming through. It's unclear where the others are."

Yao Bei fell silent.

"What is going on?" Qi couldn't help but ask Yao Bei. He had been thinking about it for two days, but still couldn't figure it out. "Didn't they say that the whole area is filled with alien species? How come there are still humans? Have you pioneers been deceiving us?" Yao Bei: "..."

Yao Bei: "This is probably another world."

"What other world?" Qi Tongda stretched his neck to look at her, "Please explain it clearly. We in the executive department don't know about these things."

Yao Bei patiently explained, "Our Federation is a world, Threshold is a world, and here is another world. The 'door' that leads to Threshold does not only lead to Threshold, but also to other worlds. We are now in the third world besides Threshold."

Qi Tongda: “Have you been here before?”

"No." Yao Bei shook his head. This world was connected to the Federation for the first time. "How long have you been here?"

"Two days," Qi Tongda answered honestly, "After your group of pioneers left, Tu Ran also left. Twenty days later, the threshold gate opened again, and that's when we came in."

"Tu Ran is gone?" Ding Naiqing perked up when he heard Tu Ran's name. "She left the Federation?"

Before he left, Tu Ran was still wanted throughout the federation, and a dragnet had been set up outside the threshold, waiting for her to pounce.

Zhou Ming snorted coldly, "She left. She left so well that even bullets couldn't catch up with her."

Ding Naiqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Qi Tongda looked at him and frowned, "You just arrived?"

Ding Naiqing nodded, "A 'door' appeared in the Threshold today. I thought it was the way back to the Federation, so I went in. I didn't expect it to be another world."

Yao Bei nodded, "Me too. After I got here, they called the arrest team and sent me here."

Qi Tongda was about to speak, but Zhou Ming interrupted him, "Why don't you struggle?"

"Why struggle?" Yao Bei asked back.

"In a strange world, a group of people want to arrest you, and you just stand there and wait for them to catch you?"

Ding Naiqing couldn't help but speak, "You also said that this is a strange world. You don't understand anything about the situation, and you made such a big fuss. It's a miracle that you can still stand here safely." After saying that, he rolled his eyes at him with disdain.

They were sitting next to each other, so their view was blocked and Zhou Ming didn't see them.

Yao Bei looked at Zhou Ming suspiciously, "You didn't kill anyone, did you?"

Zhou Ming's eyes drifted upwards, "No, we are not stupid."

Qi Tongda, who was interrupted, finally found an opportunity to speak, "Did those people ask you about Tu Ran?"

"Why are you asking Tu Ran?" Yao Bei frowned.

"You may not know this yet, but Tu Ran has also come to this world, and it seems that she has offended some powerful people. We have been locked up here for two days, and the people here have been asking us about Tu Ran."

"What did you say?" Yao Bei stared at the two of them. Her intuition told her that something was wrong.

Zhou Ming shrank his neck and stepped back calmly.

Qi Tongda said: "I didn't say anything."

Before Yao Bei could breathe a sigh of relief, Qi Tongda pointed at Zhou Ming and blurted out, "He said everything."

Yao Bei glanced at Zhou Ming and asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?"

"He told them everything about the inner elixir and superpowers." Qi Tongda said frankly.

"Idiot." Ding Naiqing from next door said angrily.

Zhou Ming pretended to be calm. "Even if I didn't say it, someone else would. Just like the guy next door, and the guy next door to your next door." He stretched out his hand from the fence and pointed in all directions. "They explained everything about the Federation long before us. They also talked about the alien species within the threshold. I just mentioned the inner elixir. I was tricked by those people."

Qi Tongda crossed his chest and sneered, "Didn't you say before that you did it to make life difficult for Tu Ran? Ha, it turns out you were brainless and let others trick you into revealing things, so you made up excuses to save face." Qi Tongda looked like he saw through him.

"Qi Gou! Shut up!" Zhou Ming gritted his teeth, his face turning red.

Qi Tongda rolled his eyes at him, not wanting to pay attention to him, and looked at Yao Bei, "What should we do? Being locked up here forever is not a solution."

Yao Bei approached the fence and looked around. "How many of our people are here?"

"Including you, there are about seventeen or eighteen of us," Qi Tongda said, "and these are only those detained here. I don't know if there are any in detention centers in other places. The other four people from our External Affairs Group 9 are also missing. I don't know if they are still alive." As he spoke, he slid down against the fence, half-crouched on the ground, and sighed.

"Don't worry, the people in this place are quite friendly to us. If your teammates also come to this world, there shouldn't be any danger." Yao Bei spoke to comfort him.

"I hope so."
