Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1307 Star Sea (112)

"Let’s go."

Wang Chen said to Zhang Zhiyi and the others, "To the backup base."

"Go now?"

Wu Xiaotian was the first to be dumbfounded, looking reluctantly at the still abundant broth in the hotpot, "What about these? Can we take them back to eat?"

Three years, do you know how he’s survived the past three years?

It’s usually hard to get a bite of hot food!

Zhang Zhiyi couldn’t help but slap Wu Xiaotian on the back of the head, "Eat eat eat, all you think about is eating. Do you want to leave Tampas Star or not? You can stay here and eat slowly by yourself!"

Wu Xiaotian drooped instantly.

The B00785 backup base is ten kilometers away from the main base.

Although it doesn’t seem very far, in reality, one must navigate a complex underground network to reach it, anyone unfamiliar with the layout would get completely lost inside.

Zhang Zhiyi had led the team to and from the main base several times, so the return journey went smoothly without any obstacles.

Because this backup base was sufficiently concealed and had multiple defensive portals, it escaped the Nether Tribe’s search, becoming the last haven for thousands of survivors.

"Password!"

"C569S34!"

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding friction sound, the heavy anti-explosion shield gate slowly opened.

Zhang Zhiyi and others filed in.

A squad of fully armed warriors stood guard behind the shield gate, one of them saw Zhang Zhiyi and laughed, "Captain Zhang, how was the haul this time?"

Zhang Zhiyi shook his head, "Not good."

The person suddenly squinted at someone, "Who is this?"

"This is Wang Chen from the D01359 base..."

Zhang Zhiyi explained, "He has very important information to report to Chief Mu, Captain Li, could you take us to see Chief Mu?"

Captain Li frowned deeply, staring at Wang Chen with a cautious eye.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I’ll take you two over, but there better be truly important information!"

Captain Li’s gaze carried an unmistakable warning.

Wang Chen nodded subtly.

Actually, he could directly create a Spiritual Power Storm in this underground base and take down everyone in an instant.

But that would make too much of a commotion, and cleaning up afterward would be too troublesome.

After all, over four thousand survivors lived in this base.

Captain Li was cautious, yet Wang Chen was unarmed, looking no threat at all, plus he came from another base and was accompanied by Zhang Zhiyi, so he guided the two towards the base command post.

On the way, Zhang Zhiyi detailed the situation of the B00785 backup base to Wang Chen.

Though the conditions of this base were nowhere near those of the main base, it could barely house a few thousand people. After being occupied by Mu Haitao’s team, reserves and equipment were used for substantial renovations.

Currently, the backup base is divided into residential, recreational, military, and reserve areas among others, and through the efforts of base engineers, possesses a set of "primitive" ventilation and lighting systems.

This situation was quite similar to the D01359 base.

Wang Chen’s initial impression of the B00785 backup base was one of crowdedness and noise. The air inside was rather impure, with thousands living here and producing massive amounts of waste daily, the environment couldn’t be good.

Yet, this base was still meticulously organized inside, with survivors’ emotions relatively stable.

As Captain Li led Wang Chen and Zhang Zhiyi further in, many people cast curious glances at Wang Chen.

"Oh dear!"

A child of about four or five suddenly rushed over and crashed into Wang Chen’s leg, falling down on his rear end.

He looked frightened, raising his head to stare blankly at Wang Chen, oblivious to the bright snot dripping down.

Wang Chen smiled, reached out to ruffle the little one’s head, and pulled an energy bar from his pocket to offer him.

The child took it in a daze.

Zhang Zhiyi whispered, "His name is Hu, both parents are dead, no other family either."

Wang Chen paused in silence, then continued forward.

It was at this moment he sensed someone watching him, instinctively looking over.

Several hundred meters away, on a command tower, a tall burly man stood behind thick glass walls. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

The gaze directed at Wang Chen came from this man!

Mu Haitao.

Intuition told Wang Chen that this man was undeniably the actual controller of the base, Imperial Army Major Mu Staff!

But meeting this leader would not be easy.

Set in the core area of the base, the military zone was heavily guarded. Wang Chen passed two checkpoints and underwent thorough searches to ensure he carried no weapons.

After waiting another ten-plus minutes, he was permitted to the top of the command tower, finally seeing the key person.

Mu Haitao appeared in his forties, with an austere expression and sharp eyes like a hawkeye, clearly a resolute and decisive individual.

"I’m Mu Haitao, what important information do you have to report to me?"

He directly asked Wang Chen, without any unnecessary words or platitudes.

"Major Mu, I’m here for someone."

Wang Chen said calmly, "Three months ago, you detained a group of operatives from the Imperial Second Rapid Response Fleet. I’ve come to take them back."

Mu Haitao’s expression changed drastically, "Who told you we detained Imperial operatives?"

He spoke fiercely, his sudden imposing aura extremely awe-inspiring, making Zhang Zhiyi, standing behind Wang Chen, show a frightened expression, instinctively taking a step back.

"So it’s you!"

Mu Haitao’s gaze locked onto Zhang Zhiyi, "Take him down!"

Just as his voice fell, the two soldiers at the door lunged towards Zhang Zhiyi, their movements fierce and rapid.

Not only that, but Captain Li who brought Wang Chen there suddenly roared, reaching out to grab Wang Chen’s neck viciously.

However, as they initiated their attack, they were struck by an invisible force, involuntarily knocked back, and smashed heavily against the metal wall.

When they hit the ground, they were all unconscious!

Mu Haitao reacted swiftly, suddenly stepping forward, swinging his right leg at Wang Chen’s head with lightning-fast speed.

This strike had at least three tons of force.

Then, in the next moment, Wang Chen raised his hand and caught his ankle.

Mu Haitao’s fierce attack stopped abruptly, the full power of an A-level War Professional’s explosion couldn’t move Wang Chen one bit.

His expression changed.

The Imperial Major realized that Wang Chen was an unprecedented formidable foe.

He instantly drew the revolver from his waist and pulled the trigger at Wang Chen repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The bullets’ roar shook the command tower.

Yet, to Mu Haitao’s amazement, the bullets he fired floated in front of Wang Chen, as if hitting an invisible barrier, unable to advance an inch!
