The Alt Conglomerate had found this place?!
It took Beigong Ling several seconds to process those words... then the faint delight that had stirred in her heart vanished without a trace.
This base was one of the Star of Dawn's most important hidden trump cards. Had anyone other than Amau Sueko brought her this news, Beigong Ling would have suspected them of being a mole sent by the Alt Conglomerate.
Taking a deep breath, Beigong Ling steadied herself a little.
"How many people do we have? Is there any way we can stop them?"
Amau Sueko shook her head, her expression grim as she said:
"Probably not... we need to find a way to evacuate."
The implication was that they might have to surrender this place to the Alt Conglomerate.
Most of the base's security systems had already been hacked and rendered useless. Holding off the Alt Conglomerate was all but impossible.
Beigong Ling had never expected Jonas to pinpoint this base directly. In her original assessment, the threat posed by the Smirt Conglomerate should have prevented Jonas from entering Mika District so easily, even if he somehow discovered Iris's location.
In other words, he had not pinpointed the base through guesswork. He had possessed conclusive evidence from the start.
But Beigong Ling had no time to analyze where her plan had gone wrong. With the Alt Conglomerate's forces already at their doorstep and every security system in the base destroyed, their only chance of turning things around... lay with Miss Iris.
At that thought, Beigong Ling turned toward Iris, who had been injected with a sedative and was now completely docile.
Much of the hostility surrounding the girl had dissipated. Now that she seemed to have calmed down, the crimson in her eyes had faded somewhat as well. Coupled
