Xu Yisong said, "Hehe, it's nothing, just a joke. Yonghuan Fort really can't help you two, and slaves are also very important to us."
Qin Che and Li Xin took their leave.
After they went outside, Li Xin asked him, "Should we kill him?"
“Killing is possible, but there’s no need. If we kill Xu Yisong, Yonghuan Fort won’t welcome us, nor will Wumen Fort. The mountain tribes might even launch a counterattack in the chaos, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. Just because the two of us killed their commander, what kind of nonsense is that?”
Qin Che said, "However, I'm really curious now about what they're doing with so many people."
"We'll check it out in a bit."
"We'll find out once their troops return from their missions."
Two days passed, but no troops returned, and no slaves were captured.
Yonghuan Fort has shrunk down.
There's nowhere to check.
Xu Yisong would also frequently send people to arrange their travel plans, which were very thorough and without any loopholes.
"They'd love for us to leave as soon as possible."
Qin Che said, "After the last meeting, they stopped fighting, seemingly not wanting us to be curious."
"Can you sense anything?" Li Xin asked him.
Qin Che shook his head: "There are no superhumans here, what do you want me to sense? I'm not a sensory user."
"Now we can go directly to Umen Fort to buy slaves. The general there has already sent a telegram to inform Xu Yisong that they are ready to trade with us."
"Yes, everything is arranged perfectly, as if it were planned in advance."
“They’re definitely up to something,” Li Xin said firmly.
That evening, Qin Che and Li Xin went out to observe the situation near the Yonghuan Fort government office.
The two split up and investigated in various places, trying to find out where they were holding prisoners.
But Yonghuan Fort is only so big, and after searching around, we found nothing.
The two returned to the starting point and reunited.
"Nothing was found."
"Neither did I. It's as if those prisoners have vanished."
"They're locked in a dungeon, and they're hard to find. There's no entrance or exit. I grabbed a few people and asked them, but they all said they didn't know anything."
"When I passed by a place just now, I seemed to sense something, but the feeling wasn't strong. When I returned, it was gone. There was definitely something underground that was attracting me," Qin Che said.
"Then let's dig three feet into the ground!"
"Can."
The two set off again.
Because they all have displacement properties, they are extremely convenient to move around.
After Li Xin transforms into particles, he can emit light or not.
For Qin Che, nothing can stop his teleportation.
They arrested a few more people and questioned them.
Finally, they learned from a soldier that the prisoners had all been sent away.
Qin Che's heart stirred, and he followed the direction he had indicated.
As you walk down the building's corridor, you press a mechanism somewhere, and the walls begin to shrink, revealing a spiral staircase. It's dark and the cool breeze blowing down from below sends a chill down your spine.
Qin Che stared at the darkness at the bottom of the stairs with great curiosity as he descended.
He hadn't walked far when he heard a few clicking sounds, and then a large number of soldiers blocked his way, guns in hand, and opened fire on him!
"shot!"
"volley!"
Da da da—
The fire flew straight towards them.
Qin Che snorted coldly. With the injection of living mechanical particles and the Master's reaction, he was not afraid of bullets at all. Even if he was hit, his body could recover instantly.
moment,
Qin Che immediately attacked, unleashing countless flying blades that spun and killed everyone who stood in his way!
Almost instantly, all the soldiers in front of them fell.
The commander looked at him with fear, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground.
"You...you stay away!"
Qin Che raised his hand from a distance, using his extraordinary artifact to grab the man's collar, and lifted him up, asking, "What's down there? Are all the prisoners being held down there?"
"It's...it's a crystal core!"
"What crystal core?"
"The crystal core that Xu Shuai discovered underground, when put into living energy sources, continuously provides energy and is the energy core of Yonghuanbao."
"oh?"
The commander then revealed everything.
Qin Che asked him, "Did Xu Yisong tell you to wait for me here?"
“Yes…yes, since you haven’t left, Commander Xu is very vigilant and has ordered us to guard the dungeon entrance.”
Is there a dungeon down below?
The commander nodded, then was knocked unconscious by Qin Che's punch and instantly teleported downwards.
The spiral staircase is very long.
But they couldn't stop Qin Che.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived underground and saw the scene before him.
Two rows of dungeons, huge spaces filled with people sitting or lying down. The stench was overwhelming, but it was all blocked by glass. In the center were some mechanical devices, completely out of step with modern technology, very old. Inside a thick iron pipe and a petri dish was a crystal, floating quietly, emitting a faint blue light.
Even though Qin Che was so close, he couldn't feel the blue energy emanating from the crystal.
The petri dish isolated him from his senses.
The materials used to build this place are of unknown composition, yet they are able to isolate the Master's senses.
Qin Che frowned. Judging from the color of the light, it looked very much like psionic energy.
The petri dish was also connected to two large tubes, from which a sound of something being churned could be heard.
Every now and then, the screams of prisoners could be heard from both sides.
Qin Che felt a chill run down his spine.
No wonder……
The purpose of capturing prisoners at Yonghuan Fortress was to place their bodies into the crystal so that they could be absorbed and have their energy extracted.
