Chapter 1404: Chapter 737: The Military’s Underwater Base
Liang Yuan felt a slight stir in his heart, suddenly thinking about how Zhang Yujiang directly wanted to hand over the Heart Core. The other party is willing to relinquish control of Cloud Mist Island, but how can they give up the blood crystals stored within the island?
“Since they were able to acquire the Heart Core and Brain Core, they surely knew about the existence of the blood crystals long ago.”
“Could it be that the blood crystals on Cloud Mist Island have already been completely excavated?”
Liang Yuan suddenly thought of this point, and his face slightly darkened. If that’s the case, Zhang Yujiang might indeed be willing to abandon the Heart Core of Cloud Mist Island directly.
Without the blood crystals, Cloud Mist Island is merely a floating island.
He abandons control of this island but still retains control over the military forces along with a large amount of blood crystal resources, which is almost indistinguishable from controlling Cloud Mist Island.
“I wonder if Feng Jiangong knows about this.”
Liang Yuan’s eyes flickered as he glanced at the blood crystals piled like a small mountain, watching people continuously load them into space equipment for transportation. Liang Yuan immediately came up with an idea.
He released his Spiritual Power and suddenly urged it vigorously!
Swish swish swish!
The surrounding torches instantly extinguished, followed by a large flood of dark attribute energy that enveloped the entire chamber.
Suddenly, the surroundings plunged into darkness, and everyone cried out in alarm.
“What’s going on? Where are the lights? The torches?”
“Who put out the torches?”
“Don’t move! Anyone who tries to run will be killed without mercy!”
Amid the chaos, gunshots were heard.
Amidst the flashes of firelight, no one noticed that the massive mound of blood crystals had disappeared.
After Liang Yuan stored all these items into his space, he quietly exited the chamber, following in the direction the soldiers escorting the blood crystals had gone.
Once Liang Yuan departed, the dark attribute energy would linger for a moment before dissipating.
However, in the short term, the people here would remain trapped in darkness until the dark attribute energy completely dissipated.
Liang Yuan took out a blood crystal, playing with it in his hand for a moment.
Within the blue blood crystal, there was an abundance of wood attribute energy, which made Liang Yuan’s heart stir.
“It’s actually a wood attribute blood crystal. Could this Abyss Island have been some kind of wood attribute mutant beast?”
“Wait, I remember Zhang Yujiang is a wood attribute superpower user!”
Liang Yuan suddenly recalled that Zhang Yujiang had demonstrated his superpower numerous times, and it was precisely a wood attribute superpower.
He immediately smirked coldly, having already guessed that the person in charge behind the team exploiting the blood crystals from Abyss Island was likely Zhang Yujiang.
At this moment, he remained silent, stealthily trailing the team along the bloodline path, steadily moving outward.
After walking for a while, a large lake appeared in front of him.
On the lake, a few submarines were docked, and roughly dozens of soldiers were stationed ashore.
These people had set up camp here, with obvious rune arrays around them.
Liang Yuan saw the few people with blood crystals approach the submersible, and after exchanging information with the personnel above, they handed over the space equipment filled with blood crystals to the other side.
Afterwards, the submersible activated, and those individuals dove quickly into the water with the blood crystals.
Liang Yuan quietly continued to follow.
Once underwater, it wasn’t long before he had left Abyss Island.
As he exited the island, he saw the rune lights on the submersible light up, and immediately the entire submersible became transparent, blending seamlessly with the surrounding water, completely invisible to the naked eye.
Seeing this, Liang Yuan’s heart skipped a beat.
“Invisibility technology?”
He was secretly astonished that the military had already mastered such technology.
Have they applied this technology to spacecraft?
If so, why could they still be detected by Mengya Company?
Is it possible that this invisibility technology has obvious flaws?
Liang Yuan was puzzled and quickly released his Spiritual Power, immediately sensing the submersible speeding underwater.
Liang Yuan followed closely and tried an infrared imaging scan midway.
Upon seeing this, he immediately discovered the presence of the submersible.
“It’s merely visual stealth; it cannot achieve invisibility in thermal imaging.”
Liang Yuan understood. In this way, this technology could only deceive organisms that distinguish objects by regular light.
The Mengya Company base surely has radar monitoring equipment, making this invisibility technology practically useless.
The submersible was fast, but still too slow in front of Liang Yuan.
Ten minutes later, the submersible reached an underwater residential complex.
Liang Yuan took a look and felt a cold smile flash across his eyes.
This underwater residential area was shielded by rune arrays, with defense barriers covering the entire community.
Many people were coming and going inside, all dressed in military uniforms or white coats.
Several unknown machines were being developed, with researchers conducting tests on the open ground of the community.
The submersible swiftly entered the defense barrier, and several robust soldiers came out of a building to take over, retrieving the space equipment filled with blood crystals.
The entire process was completed here, and the submersible exited this underwater base.
Witnessing this, Liang Yuan inwardly sneered: “So the military has another underwater base outside Cloud Mist Island.”
“Haha, no wonder Zhang Yujiang is willing to give up Cloud Mist Island.”
“Even if he loses Cloud Mist Island, he can still construct a new base underwater and transfer all his confidants and technology, giving me an empty shell of Cloud Mist Island.”
“By then, he can completely leave me to directly face Mengya Company, while he hides in the shadows.”
“What a Zhang Yujiang, hmph!”
Liang Yuan’s heart was filled with cold laughter; Zhang Yujiang was even more cunning than he had imagined.
If anyone really thought he was a peace-loving high-ranking military official, they’d end up counting money for him after being sold out.
“I wonder if Feng Jiangong knows about this base.”
Liang Yuan speculated quietly; if Feng Jiangong knew about this base, then he and Zhang Yujiang were in cahoots.
But if Feng Jiangong didn’t know, then this base was something Zhang Yujiang had secretly created on his own.
Liang Yuan leaned more toward the latter.
Don’t be fooled by how good Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang seemed to get along; when it came to power struggles, Liang Yuan believed that nothing could be absolute in this world.
His figure flickered, quickly returning to the surface of the water.
Standing on the water, he gazed in all directions, only to see ice and snow that hadn’t yet fully melted.
Liang Yuan quickly flew into the sky, continuing upward to broaden his view.
Soon he saw the nearby Cangqiong Mountain, Mide Mountain, and other ranges.
“So it’s on the western side of Cangqiong Mountain, several kilometers away from Cloud Mist Island.”
“Judging by the location, it’s already close to Ji’an City.”
“I wonder how many of such underwater bases the military has built.”
Liang Yuan stroked his chin, feeling that many high-ranking military officials were likely indulging in these antics.
Currently, the military seemed to be under Zhang Yujiang’s leadership, but he estimated that each high-ranking official had their own agenda.
Who wouldn’t want their own territory?
Especially those with high status and authority who awakened their superpower later.
These types of people are the most reluctant to relinquish their power.
Liang Yuan returned to Miyuan Rainforest and immediately encountered Zhao Kai entertaining Feng Jiangong.
“Brother Liang, Feng Jiangong is here.”
Zhao Kai seemed excited, as if there was good news.
Liang Yuan remained indifferent, feeling the military was just a muddy mess that looked neat on the surface but was actually an impenetrable jumble inside.
Thus, he wasn’t interested in the news Feng Jiangong brought back.
Upon entering the hall, Feng Jiangong, upon seeing Liang Yuan, had a hint of a smile on his half-human, half-beast face.
“Mr. Liang, I went back and chatted with Commander Zhang. He said he would further persuade the mid-to-high-level officers; there’s still room in this matter.”
Liang Yuan shook his head and said straightforwardly, “Forget it, it’s unnecessary.”
Feng Jiangong’s smile froze; he asked in astonishment, “What?”
“I’m no longer interested in Cloud Mist Island; you military folks can keep it for yourselves.”
“This, this, what on earth happened? Mr. Liang, why are you suddenly saying this?”
Feng Jiangong was anxious and inquired immediately.
Liang Yuan glanced at Feng Jiangong; seeing his genuine concern, Liang Yuan simply asked, “Let me ask you, has the Blood Crystal inside Cloud Mist Island already been emptied?”
Feng Jiangong was stunned and hurriedly replied, “How could it be? Ever since Cloud Mist Island was discovered, it’s been a little over a year. With that many Blood Crystals, all used for refining Genetic Species, how many Genetic Species could possibly be consumed by the few people on the island?”
Liang Yuan shook his head, “Have you looked at the situation inside the heart chamber of your Cloud Mist Island?”
“Uh, well… I control the Brain Core, and the Heart Core is under Commander Zhang, so I generally don’t go to the heart chamber.”
Liang Yuan replied flatly, “I think you should go and see; the Blood Crystals there are probably already emptied.”
“Also, did you know that your people have already started mining the Blood Crystals on Abyss Island? And they’ve established an underwater base near Abyss Island.”
Feng Jiangong’s expression changed slightly, “Isn’t that normal? Our military has always been exploring Abyss Island. In the process, it’s convenient to establish an underwater base nearby for exploring Abyss Island.”
“Oh? So you knew? Then do you know what attribute the Blood Crystals inside Abyss Island hold? Did you handle the ones that were mined?”
“This… I’m not quite sure about that. You know, I only care about my cultivation progress.”
Liang Yuan slightly shook his head, “The ultimate power lies within oneself; that indeed is the most righteous path.”
“But you’re still the military’s top fighter, a representative figure, one of the true high-ranking officials; you can ignore these things, but you shouldn’t be unaware.”
“Forget it, your military is already completely rotten from the inside. I’m too lazy to meddle.”
“Once Mengya Company deals with you all and clears out this muddled mess of the military, I’ll take action; it won’t be too late by then.”
“Mr. Liang!”
Feng Jiangong’s face changed, furrowing his brow, “You promised me before!”
Liang Yuan glanced at him, thought for a moment, and said, “Fine, here’s the deal. I’ll keep my previous promise to you. You leave the military and join Yangshan. I’ll provide you with an opportunity to use the Spiritual Power Gene Warning Device to help enhance your gene recombination progress.”
Feng Jiangong was relieved to hear this, “I’ll trade the Brain Core with you.”
Liang Yuan shook his head, “Not needed.”
He directly took out a bone token, with complex patterns on it, “This thing is called a Bone Covenant. Once signed, it’s impossible to break its terms.”
“Sign the Bone Covenant, and from this day forward, leave the military forces and join me at Yangshan. You must not defy my orders, and prioritize the interests of Yangshan.”
Feng Jiangong was slightly stunned, looking at the bone token, amazed, “Such a thing exists in this world?”
Liang Yuan said, “As long as Superpower Users exist, anything is possible. So, will you sign or not?”
Feng Jiangong hesitated slightly and asked, “If I break the Bone Covenant, what would be the consequences?”
Liang Yuan glanced at him, “You wouldn’t want to know.”
