The Land-Dwellers' Most In-Sync Moment Yet
Sea Race Chongming City Intelligence Group?
Lu Qianyu looked at the small transfer order in her hand, a hint of understanding flashing in her light brown eyes.
He used his free hand to fiddle with the seaweed on the stall in front of him, a few water droplets dampening his knuckles.
All around him were ordinary people coming and going. In the noisy market, he quietly asked the unremarkable stall owner across from him.
"Boss, I heard the beach was closed off this morning. Is your seaweed fresh?"
"Hey, to be honest, these are the leftovers from yesterday. I'll give you a discount."
"I see. I wonder when the lockdown will be lifted."
"I hope the lockdown will be lifted in a couple of days, otherwise I don't know where to get my supplies."
We can only set sail in two days. It seems the recapture of Mao City has stalled.
He didn't ask any further questions, took the small token directly issued by the higher-ups, and turned to leave.
The messenger couldn't extract any valuable information, so now it would depend on his own connections.
Lu Qianyu left the market at a leisurely pace, casually putting on a baseball cap as if to shield herself from the sun.
His jet-black hair was mostly covered, with only a few reddish ends sticking out unruly.
Lu Qianyu walked slowly, stopping occasionally to glance at the fresh vegetables at the roadside stalls.
A moment later, carrying a bag of vegetables he had bought on the spur of the moment, he turned into a side alley and disappeared without a trace.
Meanwhile, at the Central Theater Command of the Huaihuang Continent, in the office of the Undying Legion's Commander-in-Chief.
"Knock knock!"
"Come in."
Li Nai'an pushed open the heavy metal explosion-proof door of the office and entered the spacious office, which felt like a cage.
She closed the door behind her and then bowed to the center of the room.
"Major Hu, greetings."
Although she was also a product of the Laboratory, she had not yet officially joined the Undying Legion led by the other party.
Therefore, when greeting someone, you can only address them by their military rank.
"Greetings, Li Nai'an."
Upon hearing this, Li Nai'an looked up abruptly, her green eyes, full of surprise, meeting Hu Lingling's calm black eyes.
"Sir, may I now join the Undying Legion?"
Seeing Hu Lingling shake her head, Li Nai'an's high spirits instantly subsided.
However, the next moment, she became excited again because of Hu Lingling's words.
No, you need to pass an assessment to join us.
"Lead a team to infiltrate the Sea Race's Chongming City to gather intelligence. The legion will score your performance to determine if you meet the joining requirements."
We'll leave tomorrow.
Hu Lingling pointed to a dispatch order and a thick stack of documents on the table.
She gestured for Li Nai'an to take it, and then she could go and prepare.
Li Nai'an strode forward, picked up the items on the table, bowed deeply, and left the office.
She was already quite impatient.
Since her near-death experience and arrival at the military headquarters, she has been sidelined for far too long.
Given her abilities and status, she is not qualified to go to the front lines.
Therefore, she hasn't been exposed to fresh blood in a long time.
The bloodstain near the corner of her right eye, resembling a double-petaled lotus, flickered in and out of focus, looking like a flower struggling to bloom due to lack of water.
Those green eyes, tinged with bloodlust, were both eerie and beautiful against the backdrop of intricate red patterns.
"I've heard that both the Human Race and Demon Races have sent spies. Shouldn't we use them?"
"Not for now. Our intelligence agents who stay over there are better suited to working independently."
"To do anything rashly would be superfluous and unnecessary."
"Clear."
"Wait," the Beastfolk who had been asking for his superior's opinion was about to leave when he heard his superior speak again.
"Let's send over some recent intelligence on land, keep it discreet."
"OK."
After the Beastfolk leader finished his mission, he left much faster.
Before he left, the Beastfolk officer in the office sighed softly.
"Hopefully Hua Yixuan can successfully infiltrate there. At the very least, he needs to come back alive, otherwise the losses will be..."
The sound was blocked by the soundproof door and did not escape the office at all.
Just as the terrestrial species were tacitly mobilizing their scouts in response to the resurgence of the Sea Race.
At this moment, Shisui had already crossed the Tianpiao Ocean at an extremely fast speed in less than six hours.
The sun was high in the sky, and he happened to arrive at the Pacific Ocean.
As the largest ocean on the Ruolan Star, the Pacific Ocean, as its name suggests, is calm and deep.
However, beneath its calm and flat surface lies a rocky and complex seabed.
And the largest number of active underwater volcanoes in terms of total Ruo Lan.
The moment Shisui entered the Pacific Ocean, it could smell the faint acidity of the seawater.
He finally stopped, took out a Flesh Crystals, and began to replenish his Psychic Energy.
The shell plates obtained from the Old Softshell Turtle were turned out, and upon touching the seawater, they emitted a faint white light.
Shisui continued to infuse the armor plates with Psychic Energy, and the enveloping white light slowly condensed, transforming into a white thread that adorned the deck.
Strictly speaking, it was drawn on the map on the deck.
That was undoubtedly the route map to the Dragon Palace.
However, the name "Dragon Palace" is not shown on the Old Softshell Turtle's map.
"The Pacific Ocean, the Profound Grand Canyon, the capital Chongming City."
The canyon alone is more than 9,000 kilometers away from here, almost spanning the entire Pacific Ocean.
The Sea Race army certainly didn't start from Chongming City.
Especially their rather dim-witted sea monster suicide squad.
If they were to cross the ocean to reach Mao City, the food consumed along the way would be enough to wear down the army before they even arrived.
Even if it's just to avoid being discovered by the Ringwater Continent, they just need to avoid stationing themselves in the Tianpiao Ocean inside.
This means that there must be Sea Race stationed at locations along the outer edge of the Pacific Ocean near the Tianpiao Ocean.
"Alright, alright, let's grab the supply depot while we can."
Shisui sat on a relatively flat boulder on the seabed, his Radiant Feathers scattered in all directions.
During his short rest, he'd try his luck and see if he could find the Sea Race's stronghold.
