Chapter 1257: Si Kongchen and Xie Yunlong Change Their Plan

“What? The plan has changed again?” After the meeting ended, Xie Longyun heard the news and came to meet with Si Kongchen right away.

Si Kongchen sat behind his desk with an expressionless face as he spoke with a bland tone, “They want to go underground to see what’s happening down there. They can do it. Either Wu Chengyue or the woman will go down there, so let’s adjust our plan. You’ll be finding an opportunity down there to stop them from coming up.”

Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue were both at level-eight. In Si Kongchen’s eyes, their bases were like one whole. Therefore, he believed one of them would certainly go underground, to ensure the success rate of the mission.

“What? You want me to go down there? I’ve met that woman already. She’ll definitely be alert against me. How am I supposed to do anything to her?” Xie Longyun furrowed her narrow brows with discontentment.

“If that woman joins the mission, all you need to do is to find a chance to release this tube of drug within the area five meters around her. It’ll work for her. With your superpower, you can easily toss the tube into that area without even approaching her, right?” Si Kongchen looked at her peacefully, as if everything was under his control.

After hearing what he said, Xie Longyun spent a few seconds thinking and said, “I can do that, if it’s really like what you said.”

“I’ll send Liu Zhinan to go with you. With his help, it’ll be much easier,” Si Kongchen put a hand on the desk and gently knocked on it with his fingers.

Xie Longyun thought for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright then, I get it.”

At that moment, someone walked to the door and knocked before entering. “Hey, Miss. Xie, what a surprise to see you here!”

Xie Longyun had finished talking with Si Kongchen. She turned and walked out while saying, “We’re done here. You guys take your time.”

After watching her leave, Wei Haichao handed the newest intelligence report to Si Kongchen and said, “We found out something about Sea City Base.”

“What is it?” Si Kongchen asked him while taking over the report.

“Sea City Base isn’t cultivating crops currently, but they have still been providing their people with fresh vegetables and fruits every day. We have no idea where those fresh vegetables and fruits are from. But, Sea City Base is now very close with All Beings Base. Our people haven’t managed to get into All Beings Base yet. I think All Beings Base might have some secret soil remedy,” Wei Haichao said to Sea City Base while handing the report to him.

“Does the soil remedy that Sea City Base mention not belong to itself but to All Beings Base?” Si Kongchen knitted his brows slightly as he started reading the report.

According to the report, the soil in Sea City Base was still not suitable to grow food. The report also included the names and amounts of fresh food provided in Sea City Base’s canteens every day, and the fact that Sea City Base would receive a batch of supplies from All Beings Base every week. The exact content of those supplies hasn’t been found out yet, as Sea City Base had been keeping that strictly secret.

“The information about this All Beings Base has always been so hard to get. All Beings Base and Sea City Base seem very close now. That woman’s base is getting more and more mysterious.” Wei Haichao said with great interest toward All Beings Base, and his eyes even glowed.

Seeing the look on his face, Si Kongchen figured out what he was thinking about. “Since you’re so interested in that base, just go and do it,” he nodded and said, “The woman doesn’t have the time to take care of her base now. You can take this chance and lead a few level-six men to go there. See if you can find anything.”

Level-six people might be rare in other bases, but Huaxia Base had large numbers of level-six members. That was why Si Kongchen made it sound like a small thing. After all, he had spent a lot of resources to cultivate all those level six and five superpowered people for his future use.

“Yes, sir!” Wei Haichao nodded.

At that moment, Lin Qiao was heading back to her room. Wu Chengyue and Lan Lu both followed behind her. Before her door, she stopped walking, then turned to the two and said, “Can I help you? Your rooms are that way.”

The two men made an eye-contact with each other, then turned back to her and nodded. Lin Qiao had no other choice but to invite them in and offer them seats.

With curiosity, she looked at Lan Lu and said, “How come you suddenly want to go underground? Have you found something in your territory?”

On hearing that question, Wu Chengyue turned to Lan Lu as well. Lin Qiao was probably right. Lan Lu might have found something, or else he wouldn’t bring up that suggestion right in front of everyone else.

“You’re so smart that you actually guessed it out,” Lan Lu glanced at Lin Qiao smilingly, then took a piece of paper out of his inside pocket and handed it to Lin Qiao and Wu Chengyue.

“What is it?” Wu Chengyue took it over and looked at it.

Lan Lu leaned against the back of his chair and said, “I had sent my men down earlier. We didn’t dare to go too far underground, but we did find something interesting.”

Before he could finish, Wu Chengyue read the contents on the paper and said, “Underground space? Your men went more than three-thousand meters deep?”

“The underground space is only a guess of mine,” said Lan Lu, “My men didn’t find that place. However, according to what they’ve seen down there, there is indeed an unknown underground world.”

Wu Chengyue lowered his head and read the paper again, then said, “Such strong air streams were detected over three-thousand meters deep underground. I guess there is a massive space underground. What are these plants?”

Lan Lu said, “Yes. These strange plants are the reason why I’m sure there’s a large space underground. However, my men only collected a small number of plants from there. We can’t tell what exactly the underground world is like yet.”

“Didn’t you send them to go further down?” Lin Qiao looked at him and asked.

With grief, Lan Lu responded to her with, “Something very powerful stopped them. Only two of them came back alive.”

“Are you saying that apart from the unknown underground space, there are also some monsters down there, like the ones that we’ve seen on the earth’s surface?” Lin Qiao grasped the key information in Lan Lu’s words.

“No. The creatures underground are stronger than the ones that have come to the surface. Their number wasn’t large though. However, one alone was strong enough to destroy my team,” Lan Lu shook his head and said.

“Are they solitary?” Lin Qiao thought of the red cat. It was alone, no weaker than a level-seven mutated beast. It was a powerful being, but weirdly, it lived on fruits.
