Chapter 239 How could the Three Main Cannons Dimensional Crystal Treasury be targeted by Dark Night?
Four million? It was indeed a regular main battleship. Li Ming had already re-used his [Shadow Sting] ability to retreat back into the mustache's shadow.
Although he was jealous, he couldn't take it for the time being.
Taking this one will obviously put the Torch Organization into a state of high alert, which is not conducive to subsequent actions.
After coming out, the mustache guy seemed very dissatisfied and went to the staff in charge of transportation, "Why is there only one? Didn't we buy three?"
"They said the situation is very tense lately, and it will take some time to find the remaining two."
"There are actually two more?" Li Ming's heart was even more excited. Fortunately he didn't take it, otherwise it would be more troublesome to take two later.
"How long will it take?" asked the man with a mustache.
"About a month." The other party responded.
"No, hurry up and urge them. If it doesn't work, return the goods." The man with the mustache said coldly.
Then he went to check other goods and found that not only the main ship's gun barrel, but also many other things were missing parts, which made him even more dissatisfied.
About two hours later, his smart terminal lit up. He looked down and the anxious look on his face immediately subsided. He went to the small conference room with other staff members.
"Minister Peel..." Someone was already waiting in the conference room. After the man with a mustache came in, he greeted the other person respectfully.
The other person was not human. He was two meters tall, had four eyes, and a long, thin head. After everyone arrived, he said:
"This batch of goods has been almost completely counted. Next, I need you to keep a close eye on it and install all the components in place, turning these empty shells into true warships capable of controlling the battlefield."
"Yes!" Everyone in the conference room nodded resolutely.
Next, the minister emphasized many things to pay attention to. When he was excited, he couldn't help but stand up and pace back and forth in the meeting room.
They talked for half an hour and still showed no signs of stopping. The key point was that the other members all looked very interested.
Until his smart terminal rang, Pierre looked down, his expression changed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's go. Some goods are still on the way. I will rush them as soon as possible."
As soon as he finished speaking, Pierre hurriedly pushed the door open and left. Li Ming was already in his shadow, musing to himself, "Seems like he's heading towards the core area?"
…
At the same time, in the hall of the security area, Brot looked at Sandro with suspicion, then looked down at the various metal materials in the box.
Sandro continued, "If you buy these metal materials on the Black Shield network, it will cost you at least 500 million star coins. Even if you collect them yourself, not counting the time and effort, it will cost you at least 300 million star coins."
"I've collected 300 million star coins for you. What do you think?"
"Three hundred million?" Brot frowned. "Do you think I don't know what's going on? These things are worth at most three hundred million star coins."
"Good eyesight," Sandro exclaimed. "As expected of you, Master Mechanic Deyes's senior. Let's put it this way, two hundred and fifty million."
"So generous?" Brot looked Sandro up and down. "We can't do business here."
"What's the big deal? Let's just go find Connit and ask him to witness it. We can then temporarily open a small window for us to complete the transaction. There won't be any problems." Sandro didn't care.
"Hmm... two hundred million." Brot pondered for a moment, and suddenly cut another fifty million.
"You..." Sandro gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Then the next step is two hundred million."
"You can accept two hundred million? There won't be any problem with this metal material, right?" Brot was not excited, but became more suspicious.
Sandro was immediately dissatisfied and shouted, "What are you talking about? This is what Blerim collected. He was originally going to make an A-level weapon. It has been certified by Master Mechanic Qinglong. There is absolutely no problem. If his price was not so low, I would sell it to him."
Then, he whispered, "The main thing is that I don't have much use for this thing. You have such a good relationship with Deyes, why don't you just ask him to make you a weapon? Ulrich still has a part, 220 million, how about selling it all to you?"
The reasoning seemed sound, and Deyes picked up a heavy piece of blue alloy. It sounded pretty good.
Collecting this kind of material is indeed time-consuming and laborious, otherwise you can only buy it on the Black Hole Network at an extremely high price.
It was not bad to be able to pick up this bargain. Brot's expression eased. "The Herder, Blerim, was quite famous. I didn't expect that he would die at the hands of you guys."
Sandro laughed. "It's nothing. It didn't take much effort."
"Hey, wait here for a moment. I'll go find Ulrich and get his copy. Then we'll go find Cornett and get him online."
Sandro couldn't wait. These things were really making him anxious. It would be less of a worry if he could deal with them as soon as possible.
…
On the other side, Li Ming has verified his guess.
Pierre walked through several corridors, boarded the elevator, and arrived at the core area of the base.
After walking out of the elevator, there was an inky metal door at the end of the corridor. Pierre stopped, straightened his clothes, and then walked forward.
When the door opened, it was Cornett standing in the center of the room.
"Chief, are you looking for me?" Pierre's attitude was very respectful.
Cornett looked back, and for a moment, he had a strange feeling, a vague sense of being spied on, but he didn't know where it came from, but it disappeared the next moment.
Still unable to hide directly in the shadow of the A-level life form, Li Ming made a brief attempt and then retreated.
Cornett sensed it carefully and it seemed to be an illusion. He glanced at Pierre, who had lowered his head, frowned slightly, and said gently, "Sit down."
Pierre sat down somewhat awkwardly. Cornett looked him up and down, shook his head secretly, and asked directly, "Pierre, let me ask you, do you have a way to bypass the blockade of the base and communicate with the outside world?"
Upon hearing this, the originally reserved Pierre's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up and said, "Chief, I am loyal to the organization and have absolutely no second thoughts."
"I'm not doubting you," Cornett said, a little helplessly, emphasizing, "I'm just asking, do you really have this ability?"
After confirming that Cornett didn't doubt him, Pierre slowly sat down, took a deep breath, and thought, "Chief, the blockade of our base is not a filtering blockade, but a complete isolation. There is no way to communicate with the outside world at all."
"It's logically impossible to get past this blockade."
"Even the Master Mechanic can't do that?" Cornett asked.
As expected, Cornett also suspected Deyes, but he didn't seem to be sure, so he was looking for evidence.
Well... I haven't shown that I can definitely create the Tanlomon Bio-Sublimator, so Deyes still has value and we can't just break up with him.
Pierre shook his head. "It's not a technical problem. It's physically impossible. Our base is like an isolated island. There are no ships communicating with the outside world. It's impossible to escape."
"Impossible?" Cornett seemed to understand and frowned slightly.
"But..." Pierre seemed to have thought of something. Noticing Connet's gaze, he hurriedly said, "Our base isn't completely isolated. We only have a few lines of communication with the outside world."
He explained: "If data is attached through these lines, there is indeed a very small possibility of external communication."
It was quite complicated to explain, and Cornett listened to Pierre's explanation for a long time before he finally understood it.
"That is to say, there is still the possibility of external contact." Connit frowned with some dissatisfaction. After talking so much back and forth, why not just state the final conclusion directly?
Pierre explained in a low voice: "This kind of external communication is extremely difficult, and requires..."
"Okay, I understand." Cornett waved his hand expressionlessly, stopping Pierre from giving a lengthy explanation of professional terms.
"I just need you to tell me if this kind of outbound communication can be detected."
"It's difficult..." Pierre shook his head helplessly. "Your communication lines are completely isolated from the outside world. The Information Department is almost the same. They hardly communicate with the internal network."
"To get through these lines, you have to penetrate the intranet..."
He stopped talking halfway because Cornett raised his hand again.
"I understand." Cornett said expressionlessly, motioning for Pierre to leave. Pierre stood up awkwardly.
After going out, he hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and stood in front of the elevator, feeling a little uneasy.
The elevator door opened and he was about to walk in, but when a shadow came towards him, Pierre looked up and was shocked: "Master Ted."
The life form named Ted was of burly build, wearing heavy combat armor. His cheeks were indigo blue and his features were sharp and angular, as if they were cut by a knife or an axe. He just nodded indifferently when he heard this.
Pierre moved aside and waited for the other party to leave before entering the elevator.
Compared to Pierre, Ted's attitude towards Cornett seemed much calmer. He just nodded slightly and said, "Chief..."
"Ted," Connit nodded, "Go to the warehouse, get a dimensional crystal and related materials, sacrifice Balzacs, and temporarily defend the main base."
"Warehouse? Dimensional crystal?"
Li Ming, who had been hiding in Ted's shadow, felt a wave of emotion in his heart.
"Balzac?" Ted seemed a little surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is someone going to attack the base?"
"No." Cornett shook his head. "Something unexpected happened. Someone named Dark Night got my contact information from somewhere and actually asked for the base's location, intending to come and look for Azure Dragon."
"Um?"
Li Ming had been guessing about the situation in the warehouse, but when he suddenly heard the information about himself, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Dark Night? Who is he? I don't think I've ever heard of him. Why are you looking for me?
"Looking for Qinglong?" Ted was surprised. "Is he his enemy or friend?"
"It's hard to say." Cornett rubbed his brows, seeming to be in a very difficult situation. "According to the information I know, this An Ye is the one who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya."
"What?" Ted was stunned.
Li Ming was also shocked. The super assassin who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya?
What was he looking for? Could it be that someone had hired him to assassinate him?
Li Ming subconsciously speculated and suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Grand Duke Gu Ya was beaten to a point where his life or death was unknown, let alone himself.
Why did this fierce guy suddenly target me?
"It's him," Cornett said helplessly. "I tried to ask him indirectly, but he just said, 'Give me the coordinates. Don't worry, he has no other intentions.'"
It seemed like An Ye didn't take him seriously at all. It was too simple to say. Their main base had been hidden for so long, how could they tell others about it casually?
Even if the other party was the powerful person who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya, he would not easily trust the other party, but he had a hunch that the other party might have other ways to find him, so he had to be on guard.
"What is the origin of this Qinglong that he has provoked such a person?" Ted was also secretly shocked.
"I don't know. Deyes said before that he might cause too much trouble, and I thought he was exaggerating. But we just arrived here and attracted such a powerful life form." Connet sighed.
"I just hope he can create a sublimator as soon as possible."
"I understand." Ted looked serious and turned away without saying anything more.
"Dark Night..." Li Ming felt heavy-hearted. No one would be in a good mood if they were inexplicably targeted by such a super assassin.
But after thinking about it, he realized that apart from the Itlan civilization, he hadn't offended any big shots.
This An Ye was definitely not hired by Yitlan or Xingyuan Empire. After all, he had just assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya.
Then who is it?
This time, he really didn't even doubt his target.
The more I think about it, the more headache I get.
After getting off the elevator, Ted moved decisively all the way deeper into the base. After passing through layers of verification, he stopped in front of a metal gate wrapped in a purple energy film.
"Sir Ted." The soldier in charge of guarding nodded and verified it again.
After making sure everything was OK, the door covered with thick purple energy film slowly opened, and Ted was about to step in as usual.
But this time, for some reason, he encountered an unprecedented resistance. The purple energy membrane began to ripple, like waves converging, and then rebounded with huge force, directly throwing him out.
Bang!
He bumped into the metal wall and fell to the ground. The pain in his body was nothing compared to the confusion in his heart.
"How could this happen?" Ted looked puzzled.
The soldier in charge of the guard had a stern look on his face. "Sir Ted, the leader has issued strict orders that only one person can enter at a time."
"I'm just one person." Ted frowned, looked around, and walked forward again.
The soldier wanted to stop him, but seeing Ted's unfriendly expression, he stopped.
But this time the purple energy film did not react at all, and Ted stepped directly into it.
Stopping behind the energy membrane, he looked back in confusion.
Not knowing what had just happened, he shook his head and went deeper.
The guarding soldiers looked at each other, not knowing how to explain.
In the shadow of one of the soldiers, Li Ming was secretly surprised.
This purple energy film could actually sense his presence, and it looked like the power of some creature from some dimension.
"You must be more careful in the future. The power of dimensional creatures is strange and unpredictable. It cannot be compared with the ordinary detection equipment of the Torch Organization."
Li Ming reminded himself and looked at the purple energy film again. He felt a little hot in his heart and didn't know how many dimensional crystals were contained in it.
