Wuke R&D Base
After Yu Ze was cremated, Yu Sheng placed his ashes in an exquisite and lovely porcelain bottle, and then put it into the storage bag he carried with him.
All the baby items in the house were cleared out, and the three of them silently removed all traces. But when they came to the little bell, Yu Sheng closed his eyes and said, "Leave this."
Those seven days seemed to have been cast under a forbidden spell, forgotten by Yu Sheng and the other two, and no one ever mentioned them again. Only occasionally, one of them would be seen staring blankly at the bell.
Yu Sheng fell into a relentless training mode. Xi Ze, who usually tried to dissuade Yu Sheng, did the opposite this time and joined Yu Sheng in training. His physical condition did not allow for high-intensity activities, but Xi Ze persisted and persevered, gritting his teeth.
As they work hard, the day of leaving Wukelai's R&D base is getting closer.
That day, Xi Ze stared at the date on the calendar and said to Yu Sheng, "It's coming soon."
Yu Sheng originally thought that Xi Ze was talking about the day of the mission, but he didn't expect Xi Ze's next words to be, "Clean up the house and prepare to welcome the guests."
"Who's coming?" Yu Sheng and Gary were both confused.
"Mu Li." Xi Ze said.
"Mu Li?" Isn't this the guy with the handlebar mustache from the Wuke R&D base? Why is he here? Clearly, we haven't been in touch since I sold him the assembly blueprints.
Xi Ze smiled and answered Yu Sheng's doubts. "I made a small adjustment to the blueprint, and there will be problems when their mecha is assembled. And tomorrow is the day when Wu Ke will come for inspection. Mu Li, who is eager to take credit, will definitely come to me."
Yu Sheng understood instantly. In such a short time, if Xi Ze said he was not clear and needed to see the site, Mu Li would definitely not refuse in a hurry, and might even take the initiative to invite Xi Ze to the R&D base.
"I'll meet you outside with others," Gary said solemnly, "Please be safe!"
No one knew what the outcome of this mission would be, and even the most meticulous planning couldn't predict unexpected events. This was undoubtedly a gamble.
After lunch, just as the three of them finished their meal, there was a rapid knock on the door. Yu Sheng opened it, and outside were Scarface and the man with the mustache. Scarface was the first to step into the room and shouted, "You two, do you know what's wrong with the mecha? Did you make a mistake with the blueprint? Draw a new one for Mr. Mu Li!"
Scarface didn't know that this was a deliberate mistake made by Nishizawa. When Mu Li showed up, he felt bad. However, he couldn't afford to offend the Wuke R&D base, so he had no choice but to bring Mu Li with him. However, he deliberately shouted out Mu Li's intentions, hoping that Nishizawa and Yu Sheng would understand his intentions and redraw the blueprint to delay the situation.
Don't go to a hellhole like the Wuke R&D base if you can avoid it.
As a result, Caesar, who was considered extremely shrewd by Scarface, pretended to be asking "How is this possible?" and hurriedly took two steps to welcome the man with the mustache in. "Mr. Mu Li, is this true? No way? There is nothing wrong with my drawings. What went wrong..."
Scarface's heart was blocked with blood. Just as he was about to say something, he was pulled aside by Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng looked at Scarface and said sincerely, "Come and have some fruit, Uncle Kuchi, and let these experts talk."
Scarface: "..." Are you really stupid or just pretending?! He finally realized that these two guys' goal from the beginning was to break into the R&D base. Maybe the problem with the mecha was caused by them!
Over there, Moustache and Caesar quickly reached a consensus. They were now heading to the Wuke R&D base, where Caesar would personally inspect the mecha they had produced based on the blueprints and conduct evaluation and modifications.
Perhaps due to Caesar's good after-sales service attitude, the man with the mustache wasn't as angry as when he first arrived, though he was still a little impatient. Without even taking a sip of water, he stood up and said, "Then please, young men, pack up quickly. The hovercraft is ready."
Under Scarface's worried gaze, Caesar and Yu Sheng followed the mustache-faced man onto the hovercraft one after the other.
The Wuke R&D base covers a very large area. The high walls with laser-cut defenses, airtight gates and fully armed patrols give people a creepy feeling, as if some monster is imprisoned here.
"Your rooms are ready." The man with the handlebar mustache led the two people to a separate small building and said, "Put your things down and we'll go to the mecha research and development department."
The base had many buildings, all densely packed together. Yu Sheng followed Mu Li, silently observing the surrounding terrain and memorizing the route.
As expected of a wealthy company like Wuke, the mecha R&D department alone has hundreds of core technical personnel, all of whom are elite manufacturers. After seeing the creator of the transformation mecha, Caesar, they all wanted to discuss it with Caesar.
Caesar pretended to look over their manufacturing process, then thoroughly tested the finished mecha inside and out. Finally, he said, "There's a problem with the energy distribution of a small part, but if we want to fix it, we need to redo the whole thing."
The mustache man's expression changed instantly. This mecha took nearly a month to complete. Remaking it? The boss of Wuke Company was coming tomorrow!
You have to know that there are only a few people in the entire galaxy who can independently build a military mecha. The mental effort required to operate it is so high that even if the blueprints were clearly placed in front of you, you would still be unable to do it. This mecha was completed by hundreds of people who first made the parts individually, and then finally gathered enough mental energy to assemble it together.
Caesar secretly observed the mustache man's expression and said at the right moment, "But I have a half-finished product here, how about..."
The man with the mustache said with a dark face, "I'm afraid it won't work. Even if it's a semi-finished product, there's no way it can be finished before tomorrow!" Is his career path going to be cut off?
"I can help," Caesar said with a smile. "Between tonight and tomorrow noon, I'll rush out the finished mecha, but I need an absolutely quiet environment where I won't be disturbed by anyone. Also, I need something to replenish my mental strength."
"Sure, sure!" Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache's eyes lit up instantly, and he even used honorifics when speaking. "Don't worry, I guarantee that your work environment will be absolutely quiet!"
"Besides, he's the only one I need as my assistant." Xize pointed at Yu Sheng nonchalantly.
The mustache figured it out. He knew there must be some secret technique he wasn't willing to reveal. Under normal circumstances, he would have sent someone to secretly investigate and steal the technique, but at this critical moment, he was afraid that something might go wrong and the mecha would fail, so he abandoned the idea and did everything according to Caesar's instructions.
Yu Sheng and Xi Ze arrived at a separate, fully enclosed workroom, offering excellent privacy. Ba Zi □ had his subordinates prepare some delicious food and said, "If you need anything else, call the internal line. We'll deliver the spiritual power tonic later."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Not long after he left, Xi Ze gave Yu Sheng a look, and Yu Sheng immediately slipped out of the studio and followed quietly behind him.
It was easy to guess what the potion was that could replenish spiritual power. Of course, Moustache wouldn't bring him the rare blue beast, but taking some of its blood would be possible as a temporary supplement.
Yu Sheng hid in the shadows and saw the man with a mustache whispering to a subordinate several times. The subordinate nodded and walked quickly into the depths of the base.
The subordinate, after many twists and turns, unexpectedly arrived at a simple building that looked like a public restroom. Yu Sheng was just wondering when he saw the subordinate draw a complex pattern on a brick wall. The pattern instantly lit up, and an electronic tone sounded: Identity verification successful.
The door disguised as a brick wall slowly opened, revealing a square space that looked like an elevator.
"How is it?" Seeing Yu Sheng walk sideways into the hall and lock the door, Xi Ze dropped the mecha parts in his hand and walked forward to ask.
Yu Sheng nodded, "I've memorized the route."
Xize breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something when Yu Sheng touched him and quickly said, "Someone is here." Yu Sheng quietly spread his mental power around the workroom and was aware of everything that was happening within a radius of several hundred meters.
Sure enough, not long after, the doorbell rang.
I opened the door, and outside was a smiling face with a mustache, holding a small cup of red liquid in his hand. "If you feel your mental strength is exhausted, drink this, it will work quickly."
"Thank you." Yu Sheng took the cup calmly, "I'll tell him."
The man with the mustache took a look inside and saw Caesar sweating profusely as he laid wiring for a half-finished mecha. He felt relieved and said a few polite words of concern before leaving.
At night, ten-thirty.
"It's time for handover." Yu Sheng's mental power spread to the patrol point near them. Sensing that the time was ripe, he transformed into a shadow in the night and touched the brick wall he had previously detected.
Yu Sheng's mental power penetrated the brick wall and discovered a hidden electronic device. It not only controlled the password-unlocked door, but also operated four cameras in different directions. To prevent alerting the enemy, Yu Sheng's mental power penetrated each camera separately. Following the structure that Xi Ze had described to him, he found the component that controlled the imaging and subtly altered the energy distribution within.
In the monitoring room, a worker handing over to the night shift yawned and suddenly saw the image on one of the monitors go dark. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to find the screen was completely calm.
"Hey, Charles, was the screen black just now?" the staff member asked uncertainly.
"Are you dazzled?" Charles, who was on night duty, didn't care about the crappy screen at all. What was there to monitor? He couldn't even see a ghost every day. He usually slept through his night shifts, and when he reported in the next day, everything was normal, nothing went wrong.
"Okay, maybe I saw it wrong." The staff who were about to take a break no longer worried about it. After all, they didn't need to pay for it even if the display screen was broken, so who cared whether the screen was black or not!
At the same time, Yu Sheng had successfully taken the internal elevator and arrived at the third underground floor.
The Biochemistry Department was even larger than Yu Sheng had imagined. This floor alone was interconnected, with countless labs divided into sections like a honeycomb. Some labs still had a faint white light, while most were dark. It seemed the researchers had already left work.
With his keen five senses and strong mental strength, Yu Sheng easily avoided several scientific researchers and then began to investigate one laboratory after another.
Despite the aid of his mental power, it was still difficult to search the entire Third Floor Biochemical Department before dawn. Yu Sheng didn't dare delay, so he spared no effort and released all his mental power. It took him two hours to thoroughly explore the third floor, but unfortunately, he didn't find any research related to blue beasts and orcs.
Instead, they found a test area where they were developing a hormone-based cosmetic. The report stated that this cosmetic would be highly addictive after use. Once discontinued, the skin would age rapidly and various problems would arise. However, with adjustments, there was hope that these problems would be alleviated so that customers would not overthink it and simply think that other cosmetics were not as effective as this one and that their skin was getting worse, thus extending the customer's usage cycle.
Yu Sheng also took a picture of this. He would not let go of any evidence that was unfavorable to Wuke Company.
Finding nothing on the third floor, Yu Sheng quietly went to the second floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, the smell of blood and the pungent smell of chemicals made Yu Sheng shudder. His adrenaline surged and he was in a state of readiness for battle.
Yu Sheng had a premonition that he would gain something from this level.
Unlike the third floor, at least half of the rooms on the second floor still had lights on. Through the frosted glass, one could see distorted human figures, and the bloody smell in the air made Yu Sheng feel as if he was in hell.
Yu Sheng discovered a large number of orc corpses in an experimental area. Their ears and tails had been cut off and soaked in potions in pieces. Yu Sheng was horrified by the sight. He hurriedly took pictures of the evidence and moved away from the experimental area.
However, in another experimental area, it was not so easy for Yu Sheng to leave.
Hundreds of orcs were trapped in the cages, men and women, young and old, all huddled in despair in a corner or huddled tightly with their loved ones. The temperature here wasn't cold, but Yu Sheng felt a chill that penetrated his bones.
But a mission is a mission, and his mission tonight is only to take pictures of evidence and he must not alert the enemy.
Yu Sheng gritted his teeth, took pictures of this group of people, turned around and left, not daring to look back, for fear that he would regret being soft-hearted.
There's only one floor left, Yu Sheng thought silently.
Time was clearly urgent, with less than three hours until dawn, and he didn't know if the R&D staff would be back before dawn. But Yu Sheng subconsciously slowed down his pace.
Depression arises from fear.
There was no research on the blue beast in the first two levels, but Yu Ze, who died in Yu Sheng's arms, was a thorn in Yu Sheng's heart, making him bloody.
He...what will he see?
Yu Sheng clenched his hands in the air twice to relieve his uncontrollable trembling, and then released his mental power.
Unlike the honeycomb-like arrangement of the second and third floors, the first floor's layout is more like a whole, with experimental areas, cultivation areas, activity areas filled with green plants, and more...
!
Yu Sheng's heart leaped, and his mental thread quickly retracted as if halfway through a fire. He was still in shock for a long time. He relied on his powerful mental strength and was not afraid of being detected. But just now, his mental thread had collided with another mental force, and he had no sign of it before the collision!
Who was this person? One of the developers here? No, that was impossible. There had been no movement for so long. If they had, they would have come to arrest him or sounded the alarm long ago. Could it be that the person, fearing his escape, deliberately kept quiet and quietly reported to the higher-ups? That was also possible, and highly likely.
If this is the case, I will be in danger and must evacuate immediately.
But as he reached the elevator door, Yu Sheng's footsteps paused. He turned back, gazing out at the intricately arranged corridors. The spiritual energy he had just touched struck him as familiar, but he couldn't immediately place who it was. But he had a hunch it wasn't one of the developers here.
