After Mao Ling left, Li Weidong sat in his office chair, deep in thought.
After a while, he took out his bracelet and sent a message.
Fang Qingdai quickly approached, but still only managed to see a few words.
"Suppress...Activate...Inhibit..."
Fang Qingdai murmured what she had seen, her mind filled with many guesses, but she couldn't confirm them!
I really wanted to steal Li Weidong's bracelet to see what it was all about, but unfortunately the bracelet was bio-linked and would automatically lock itself if it was separated from its host for one minute.
Even if you're clinging to Li Weidong's hand to operate it, you still have to use his iris scan to unlock the bracelet first!
Unable to work with the bracelet, Fang Qingdai could only control her spatial ability to wander around Li Weidong's office, hoping to find any useful clues.
But after carefully flipping through the documents for a long time, they found that the entire office was filled with files about the affairs of the superpowered group, and there was not a single piece of information about that organization!
Fang Qingdai was somewhat disappointed. Just then, she saw Li Weidong get up and prepare to leave, so she immediately followed him!
According to Mao Ling, Li Weidong rarely goes home and spends most of his time living in the Superpowers Group building.
He definitely has a private rest area here, and the things Fang Qingdai is looking for are very likely in his private area!
To everyone's surprise, Li Weidong went straight into the conference hall after leaving the room and started a meeting with the captains of the superpowered group.
Fang Qingdai eavesdropped from the side, hoping to overhear some inside information.
But to her disappointment, the meeting was about the upcoming beast tide attack on Xuanwu No. 4 outpost, and Li Weidong was mobilizing troops and arranging support.
Fang Qingdai listened for a couple of sentences and then prepared to leave. She couldn't find the information she wanted here, so she decided to sneak back to Li Weidong's office and search more carefully.
No sooner had she made a move than she heard Li Weidong's voice: "This time, the defense of Xuanwu No. 4 outpost will not be rewarded with points, but with military merits! Once enough merits are accumulated, you can be promoted. After you go back, communicate more with your respective teams and estimate more teams to participate!"
Military merits?
Although soldiers are no longer well-known, the current base commander is still of military background, and the same procedures used in the military are still applied at the base's high command level.
As Fang Qingdai walked out, she thought about her military achievements.
She has no use for military merits. Without the support of a powerful family, even if she climbs to a high position in the wasteland, she will still be a commander without any real power.
Most importantly, she does not agree with the current development philosophy of the base, so she is not prepared to spend too much energy operating her own forces within the base.
She wanted to expand her manpower, but only to investigate that matter.
Those personnel were destined to be placed in places that couldn't be put in the open, so her efforts to earn military merits weren't very effective.
But Xiao Mao can give it a try!
He could only rely on Li Weidong's prestige to develop in the early stages. If he wanted to strengthen himself in the later stages, he would have to develop his own network of connections and influence.
Being the only son of the leader of the superpowered group makes it easier for him to win people's hearts, but whether he can truly win people's unwavering loyalty and cultivate his own confidants depends on his personal abilities.
Earning military merits and improving his social status is the most suitable path for him at present.
Fang Qingdai silently made a note of it, planning to talk to Xiao Mao when she got back.
After leaving the conference hall, Fang Qingdai slipped back into Li Weidong's office.
After searching for a while, she still couldn't find any useful information, but she had already started to experience dizziness and nausea.
She's exhausted; if this continues, she might be ejected directly from the spatial dimension!
Fang Qingdai felt somewhat regretful, but had no choice but to hurry and retreat.
Just as I was about to leave, I caught a glimpse of the ornament on Li Weidong's desk out of the corner of my eye.
While chatting with Mao Ling, Li Weidong's hands were almost always on the ornament. The more he thought about it, the more frequently he rubbed the ornament.
Perhaps it was just a personal habit, but Fang Qingdai couldn't find any useful clues. Before leaving, thinking that it was a rare opportunity to come here, she decided to take a closer look and returned to the display piece.
As soon as her consciousness enveloped the ornament, Fang Qingdai discovered its special nature!
The ornament is not a movable individual piece; it is integrated with the desk and cannot be moved!
Fang Qingdai tentatively turned the ornament slightly and found that it could indeed be twisted!
"Boom..." A slight sound came from the wall behind her. Fang Qingdai's breath hitched, and she felt a surge of excitement!
This ornament is definitely the switch to open the secret door, and there's definitely something she's looking for inside!
But she dares not use her consciousness to control the rotation of the ornament!
There are surveillance cameras in the office. If she suddenly turns the ornament and the hidden door is opened, even though she doesn't show her face, the abnormality will still be captured on the camera.
Fang Qingdai was somewhat discouraged. This wasteland, while technologically backward, still had some intact infrastructure. Just these two surveillance cameras made her hesitant to take any action.
The best approach right now is to coordinate from the inside and outside, disable the surveillance system, and then take the opportunity to infiltrate.
Alternatively, she could wait for Li Weidong to enter the hidden door, then hide in the space and follow him in.
The second method is not very reliable, because she can't possibly wait for Li Weidong every day to open the secret door on his own initiative.
The first method is riskier, because infiltrating the superhuman group's monitoring room and destroying the surveillance would require a lot of effort just to avoid the many experts.
Most people don't have this ability.
Those who have this ability...
Fang Qingdai thought of Jing Yi.
With his level seven ability user strength, no one in the entire Xuanwu Base's ability user group could rival him. If he were to infiltrate, it should be relatively easy for him.
Most importantly, he possesses lightning-based superpowers.
Using electric current to disrupt monitoring is definitely more reliable than other methods and is less likely to be detected!
With her head spinning more and more, Fang Qingdai dared not linger any longer. After glancing at the location of the secret door, she hurriedly left the headquarters building of the superhumans.
As soon as they returned to the squad's base, Mao Ling hurriedly came to greet them.
"So, did you find any useful information?"
Fang Qingdai shook her head and carefully explained her findings from that day.
Mao Ling was somewhat disappointed. She sighed and said, "His office is fine, but as his sister-in-law, it's not appropriate for me to suggest going to his private rest area. I'm really sorry I couldn't help you."
Fang Qingdai waved her hand: "It's okay. The information we want is most likely in the hidden door of his office. If we can't go to his private area, then so be it."
Suddenly, Xiao Mao's voice rang out: "If you want to go, I can think of a way."
Fang Qingdai then realized that Xiao Mao was also at the team's base. He had been resting in a small room, so Fang Qingdai hadn't noticed him.
Mao Ling said, "He... I was afraid that if Li Weidong went to see his superpower certification tomorrow, it would make him uncomfortable, so I asked him to come over and told him about it in advance."
Xiao Mao didn't know what Fang Qingdai was investigating about his father, and thought that she was just like Mao Ling, looking for evidence of his persecution of Mao Min.
Xiao Mao no longer has any attachment to Li Weidong. For him, the vague and ethereal fatherly love is no match for his mother's safety.
With his inner conflict about not having superpowers resolved, Xiao Mao, who gained energy, has indeed become much stronger.
At this moment, he was even willing to step forward and offer to help Fang Qingdai and the others enter Li Weidong's private area!
