He agreed to Li Yu's two conditions in exchange for two parts of Mother's Body, just as a powerful surge began and the base mobilized for combat.

• Li Jianbin and the Undersea Base personnel prepared for combat while Fang Cheng stayed with Li Yu and Wang Mingde; the black power then obscured the door outside the observation window.
