Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath, feeling the turbulent flow of supernatural energy within his body, like a pot of boiling porridge that could overflow at any moment.
He narrowed his eyes, a chilling smile curving his lips: "To figure out the exact layout of Blood Raven's headquarters, it seems the only option is... to go and meet them in person."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at the old wolf standing in the corner, looking uneasy.
"Old Wolf, do me a favor." Lu Zhaoming's tone carried an unquestionable command.
Old Wolf shuddered, his obese body trembling like a leaf. He forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Master Lu, you...you say, as long as it's within my power..."
"I need a genuine identification document for a Blood Raven mercenary, the kind that would allow me to infiltrate the organization," Lu Zhaoming said bluntly, without any beating around the bush.
Upon hearing this, Old Wolf's face turned deathly pale. He waved his hands frantically, his fat jiggling, "Master Lu, this...this won't do! Blood Raven and his gang are ruthless and merciless. If you infiltrate them, wouldn't that be like a lamb being led to the slaughter?"
"What, are you scared?" Lu Zhaoming raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not afraid... I'm just... I'm just..." Old Wolf stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Lu Zhaoming sneered and interrupted him: "Alright, stop stammering. I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, if Chi Xiao finds out, I'll take the blame myself. I won't implicate you."
Upon hearing this, Old Wolf's expression softened slightly, but he still hesitated: "Master Lu, this... this is no joke. That old guy Chi Xiao is very shrewd. If we're not careful, he'll see through us."
"Don't worry, I'll be more cunning than him." Lu Zhaoming's lips curled into a confident smile, his eyes flashing with a dangerous light.
Ultimately, at Lu Zhaoming's insistence, Lao Lang agreed to his request.
The next day, Old Wolf brought a forged identity document, a worn metal card with a mercenary's number and an unfamiliar name engraved on it—"Thunder".
Lu Zhaoming took the card and examined it carefully. The card was exquisitely made and almost indistinguishable from the real thing. It seemed that Lao Lang had put in a lot of effort to make this proof.
"Thanks, Old Wolf." Lu Zhaoming patted Old Wolf on the shoulder and said sincerely.
"Master Lu, you...you must be careful!" Old Wolf looked at Lu Zhaoming with a worried expression, as if he were seeing off a warrior who was about to go to the battlefield.
"Don't worry, I'll come back alive." Lu Zhaoming smiled, turned around and walked out of the stronghold.
With the identification provided by Old Wolf, Lu Zhaoming successfully entered the Blood Raven controlled area.
The place was guarded by heavily armed soldiers, and the air was thick with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Lu Zhaoming suppressed his unease and tried his best to look like an ordinary mercenary. He lowered his head and followed the crowd, walking step by step towards the Blood Raven headquarters.
The underground facilities of the Blood Raven headquarters were even larger than Lu Zhaoming had imagined. It was like a huge maze, with intricate passages and rooms everywhere.
Lu Zhaoming walked cautiously through it, remaining vigilant at all times.
Suddenly, he heard a commotion ahead. Lu Zhaoming quickly hid behind a pillar, peeked out, and secretly observed.
Two guards in black uniforms were standing in the doorway of a room, having a heated discussion.
"I heard this 'final test' is unprecedented in scale! I wonder how many people will suffer," a guard said in a low voice.
"Yes! Lord Crimson Owl has really gone all out this time. It's said that the purpose of this test is to select the best test subjects in preparation for the 'Dawn of Light' project," another guard chimed in.
"'Dawn'? What's that?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! How dare you ask about things like this? All I know is that if Project Dawn succeeds, we will rule the entire wasteland!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoming was shocked. He immediately activated his Eye of Judgment to analyze the key words in the conversation between the two.
"Final Test", "Dawn of the New World", "Experimental Subject", "Domination of the Wasteland"...
These words exploded in his mind like bombs, making him realize that Red Owl was carrying out an extremely dangerous plan.
He quietly approached the doorway, wanting to hear more clearly.
"The test subjects this time are said to be survivors captured from various places, and quite a few of them are superhumans!" a guard continued.
"Superpowered individuals? Aren't they even more dangerous?"
"Don't worry, Lord Red Owl has already prepared a way to deal with superhumans. It is said that he has developed a special device that can suppress the abilities of superhumans."
Hearing this, Lu Zhaoming felt even more uneasy.
He must get this message out as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the Blood Raven controlled area, Su Li and Qing Lian were anxiously waiting for news from Lu Zhaoming, leading Xiao Cao.
"Sister Su Li, Brother Lu has been in there for so long, why haven't we heard anything yet?" Qinglian asked with a worried expression.
"Don't rush," Su Li said, though she herself felt uneasy.
"But..." Qinglian wanted to say something more, but Su Li interrupted her.
"No buts, all we can do now is trust him and be ready to provide support at any time," Su Li said firmly.
Just then, the roar of a car engine came from afar, and Su Li quickly signaled everyone to take cover.
A convoy of supplies slowly drove up, surrounded by heavily armed Blood Raven soldiers.
