The Cape base fell too quickly, and with undercover agents maneuvering around the situation, information from higher levels was significantly delayed, making it impossible to send reinforcements in a timely manner.
However, the elevator leading to the upper levels of the base has been firmly controlled by the upper levels. The guards outside the elevator doors are armed and ready to capture the enemy.
The elevator stopped with a "ding," the doors opened, but no one was inside.
This happened more than ten times, and the guards got used to it, not even lifting their eyelids.
Little did they know that on one of those dozen or so occasions, Wuhen had already taken Xia Chuhe and Jingang and slipped out of the elevator, hiding in a corner on the upper floor.
There is no fundamental difference between the upper layer and the ground; both are areas affected by pollution.
It's just that due to the difference in altitude, the air is a little cleaner, the sunlight is a little stronger... It's these slight differences that make the upper level appear very clean overall.
In addition, the upper echelons have no shortage of money, and each area is surrounded by a high-level protective shield, which can not only prevent pollution from entering, but also filter pollution to a certain extent.
Xia Chuhe finally opened his chest and breathed freely, something he hadn't done in a long time.
It's not a congested area filled with sandstorms, nor is it a polluted place with poor air circulation.
Instead, it is clean and comfortable.
At that moment, she finally understood why the person in charge of the base would go to such lengths to climb the ranks.
However, despite the advantages of the higher-ups, Xia Chuhe didn't know where to gather information.
Fortunately, Wuhen and Jingang were there.
Wuhen pointed Xia Chuhe in the right direction.
There are only two types of people at the top: service providers and those being served.
The farmers, sweepers, cooks, and other laborers coming and going are all just laborers provided by the true masters above.
There are only two or three people at the top whose words carry weight.
These two or three people naturally reside in the most luxurious and secure places. Similarly, important information can only be obtained in such places.
The three of them spent a whole day exploring the upper floors before finally finding the owner's actual house.
Coincidentally, the host family also had the surname Guan, perhaps because they also had a stake in the Five Star Company.
Reaching the location is just the beginning; the area around the house is heavily guarded. Not only are there manpower measures, but also a variety of high-tech security methods.
It can evade human eyes without leaving a trace, but it cannot evade metal eyes.
The three of them lay in wait near the house for a while.
Time passed day by day, but Wuhen still couldn't find the best opportunity to sneak into the house.
Fortunately, although the wait was tedious, there was no danger.
But things weren't so good at the base.
Spark captured the Cape base, employing a surprise attack as its main objective.
Once the upper echelons and other bases reacted, the counterattack came swiftly and fiercely.
The upper echelons, who had long held sway over the base, knew far better than the newly arrived Xinghuo which areas were weakly defended and easy to defend.
The guards originally stationed at Cape Base, upon receiving the news, naturally wouldn't return to the base as prisoners. Instead, they went to several nearby bases to report the news, were incorporated into new units, and launched a direct counterattack.
With multiple bases besieging one base, Xinghuo's people and Xia Chuhe's legion, despite their superior combat strength, could not withstand the overwhelming human wave tactics and high-tech support from the higher-ups, and were once on the verge of defeat.
Thanks to Bu Yiwen's auspicious advice, which yielded a bad result, a legion was dispatched to provide support early on.
The Changsheng and Xintian gangs near the base also provided considerable assistance, containing the upper echelons' combat power on the periphery.
After a hard-fought battle lasting more than half a month, Xinghuo barely managed to hold onto the Cape base.
For this, Spark paid a heavy price, with countless evolved beings dying in battle.
When the list of casualties was compiled, Wang Yan was prominently listed.
Among Xia Chuhe's close teammates, few had supernatural abilities suitable for combat, and Wang Yan was one of them.
Therefore, whether attacking or defending the base, Wang Yan was always there.
Wang Yan originally wanted to go with Xia Chuhe when he went to the upper levels to gather information. However, the base needed him more, and his special ability wouldn't be of much help to infiltration and information gathering, so Xia Chuhe didn't take him.
Unexpectedly, he died in battle.
War is chaotic, and war involving supernatural abilities is ten times more chaotic. When Wang Yan died, and by whom, is completely unknown.
Only one piece of bad news was sent to Bu Yi and 02 in the form of a message.
Those stationed at the food and amusement park retrieved Wang Yan's ashes, buried him near Li Yue, and held a simple memorial ceremony for him.
A sense of unease arose in everyone's heart:
The fight has finally begun. Who will win?
If the higher-ups win, Xinghuo, the Gourmet Amusement Park, and the Cape Trading Market will likely all be lost, and everyone's fate will be no different from Wang Yan's.
If Spark wins, the shadow hanging over everyone's heads will finally fall, restoring some cleanliness to the world. If they're lucky, they might even find the root of the pollution, making life easier from then on.
In any case, one's head is always hanging by a thread, the only difference being whether it hangs on the left or the right.
In truth, no one had much hope of winning the war.
Throughout the history of the wasteland, there have been numerous uprisings and rebellions.
But each time, the higher-ups were able to easily suppress it.
Spark, like other resistance organizations, is not much different.
...
Besides the war, there were also some unpleasant things happening at the Xinghuo site.
Xia Chuhe placed the 10,000 mu of fertile land at the former site of Xinghuo, and within half a month, slight pollution was detected in the outer fields.
While the protective shield has some effect, it can only prevent pollution on the ground.
The pollution from the wasteland has penetrated every inch of the land, even deep underground.
For this hard-won land, the researchers at Spark came up with a bizarre method.
