This base is probably not entirely man-made, as there are very ancient traces in some areas.
What puzzled Gao Feng even more was that this base was actually located underwater.
It's truly unbelievable that there's a base at a depth of nearly 800 meters on the seabed.
The pipe that fell from the ceiling was perfectly integrated with the dome of the base, as if they were one with each other.
From the outside, the base looks like an inverted lid on the seabed, completely isolating the seawater from the interior space.
What Ivanda and his team did was add some seawater electrolysis equipment inside this space to provide enough oxygen.
According to the high cost of testing, this underwater base has existed for quite some time, at least over five hundred years. If we were to be more precise, based on the sediments attached to the surface of the base, it would be around eight hundred and thirty years old.
Based on this timeline, this base has existed for longer than the Dort family of vampires.
In addition to this discovery, Gao also found a lot of debris inside the base.
There are human-made items from various eras, and many people's clothing is gone, leaving mostly modern or contemporary pieces.
There were also some scrap metal, such as the remains of wooden warships, as well as the remains of some modern airplanes or ships.
Moreover, there are many that are very famous in news or unofficial history, such as the "Rosalie".
All these wrecks were haphazardly piled up in a corner, in what looked like a warehouse, which was probably cleared out by Ivanda and his men.
On a recently deceased human body, Gao Feng even saw signs of abuse...
In other words, these modern people who accidentally stumbled into this base were basically tortured to death by the people Ivanda sent to guard it...
Ivanda would certainly not allow the secrets here to be discovered; those who stray into this place are doomed.
Those stationed here, more or less, are also people who can't be brought into the open. Over time, their minds become warped, so...
With a sigh, Gao Ang felt less guilty about accidentally killing Ivanda and her employees.
The guilt is gone, but there is some regret.
He was completely ignorant about the origins and functions of this place and desperately needed someone familiar with it to explain it to him.
That space tunnel, in particular, was amazing.
If used properly, it might actually break down some of the barriers in human technology.
Gao Feng traveled back and forth between Bermuda and Death Valley several times.
Each time he traveled through the tunnels, he felt a sense of wonder.
"Could this be the legendary teleportation?"
He also tried to do something small during the teleportation process to see if it would cause any positional shifts.
It turned out he was overthinking it; in the face of strange spatial energy, he really was just a kindergarten student.
His final journey back to Bermuda failed him as he was unable to return to Death Valley, apparently because the machine had run out of power…
He also couldn't find an instrument to power this underwater space.
"So, this space can replenish its own energy?"
He could vaguely sense a slight fluctuation of spatial energy, which was subtly gathering from various places around him into a small disc that was in contact with the pipe.
If nothing unexpected happens, that small disc should be the core of this base.
Gao Ang didn't dare to study it recklessly because he felt that there were still many secrets about this base worth exploring.
What if we break that thing? Wouldn't that be a loss?
The commotion in Death Valley finally alerted some people, or rather, some people couldn't sit still any longer and personally went to participate in the rescue.
Among the feedback from the biological components, Gao Feng heard a familiar voice:
It was the same voice that spoke with Lillian, also known as Ivanda, back at the Qushui Lake base.
"Where is Ivanda?"
"I don't know. After the young lady entered that secret room, she never contacted us again. Later, an Iron Man also entered that place, and we don't know what happened after that."
"Iron Man?"
"Yes, he looks a lot like Iron Man in the movies, but he only wears a mask. The rest of his body is similar to that of an ordinary person, but he is very strong. He is practically invulnerable to bullets and blades, and we have no way to deal with him."
"Okay, I understand..."
Then, Gao Ang heard the sound of a phone being dialed.
Immediately after withdrawing his full-force aura from the underwater base, Ivanda's cell phone rang.
After thinking for a moment, Gao Ang answered the call.
"Ivanda, are you there?"
“Ahem,” Gao Ang changed his voice, mimicking Ivanda’s, and answered with the same accent, “Yes, that Iron Man came along too, but we destroyed him.”
At the same time, Gao Feng began to analyze the band and frequency of this communication signal.
Old Dort on the other end seemed oblivious to anything amiss, and continued, "You didn't use that thing, did you?"
Which thing?
Gao Feng didn't understand, but that didn't stop him from continuing his charade, "Yes, this Iron Man is too powerful, I had no choice..."
Old Dort pondered for a moment before replying, "Clean things up over there and come back quickly. We need to change our plans. It seems like Joe is considering leaving the ship."
After saying that, Dortmund hung up the phone.
Who is Joe?
Why did we disembark?
There's been internal strife?
These questions remain unanswered, but Gao Ang still sent Qian Sui a set of data models for those communication signals.
"Based on this frequency and band, have the Mountain Eagle-1 satellite search for relevant signals that match. I need to know which satellite launched it, which satellite it belongs to, and where the emitted signals radiate. If possible, locate the phone I just saw, where it went, and how long it stayed there. Record all of that."
A burst of light emanated from Chitose, who was standing guard at the stairwell. "Received, I'll arrange it right away!"
After thinking for a moment, Gao Ang took Ivanda's phone and followed the path they had left behind, returning to the vicinity of Death Valley.
This time he flew over at full speed because he was certain that the spatial passage had run out of energy.
In other words, that space weapon no longer poses a threat to him.
So he can fly freely in the air again, even above Death Valley.
Floating above Death Valley, Gao Feng pressed Old Dort for his whereabouts, "Thousand Years Old, where is that guy?"
"According to the signal feedback, the target should be in the air. I also checked other data around the target, and it should be flying towards the capital of the Mountain Kingdom at a speed of nearly 10,000 kilometers per hour."
"How many kilometers? Ten thousand kilometers? Was he flying a fighter jet?"
"Um...it shouldn't be..."
Alright, Gao Ang was only surprised for a moment. Once he remembered the space tunnel under the sea, he felt relieved.
If something can cross half a continent in a few seconds, then a spacecraft traveling at 10,000 kilometers per hour isn't so unacceptable.
Following the route provided by Chisui, Gao Ang quickly caught up with Old Dort's private plane.
He didn't immediately follow, but instead hung at a distance.
He was very curious about who "Joe" was that old Dortmund was talking about.
Could this "Joe" be the ultimate boss behind the Dortmund family?
