Shausedo strolled through a public activity area of the "Forward Base." Though his attire differed greatly from that of most "Clay Figures," it somehow suited the setting perfectly. His expression was solemn beneath his relatively indistinct clay face. He walked at an unhurried pace, like a highly respected clergyman.

The reason for that guess also lay in how the surrounding "Clay Figures" reacted to Shausedo.

Wherever Shausedo went, some passing "Clay Figures" treated him with considerable respect, while others ignored him or even Kept at a respectful distance. Affinities and divisions, along with their corresponding groups, emerged naturally. The delicacy and complexity of the relationships on display, as well as their realism, sent a chill through the heart.

"Should we follow him and take a look?"

Geng Huai truly lived up to the name Wild Boar. He was reckless enough.

The guy had clearly forgotten the intelligence from Li Wei: staying in the "Forward Base" for too long could very likely result in being covered by a "mud shell." Ronan had said there would be no obstacles, but what if there was some kind of "inevitable rule" here? What then?

Mountain Lord was unwilling ten thousand times over, but Geng Huai had not even phrased it as a question and simply followed after him. Tu Ge and Wang Yu also raised no objections, following close behind.

Damn it... Mountain Lord ground his teeth and followed with his head lowered.

Still, the "Forward Base" was definitely far larger than the intelligence had indicated. It could easily accommodate eight or ten thousand combat and logistics personnel. These Body Cultivators had no way of determining exactly how many "Clay Figures" were here, but from the construction zones to the functional zones and then to the residential zones, nowhere had ever felt empty.
