Upon hearing this, the people around also looked over.
"No!" The soldier shook his head.
"No?" Wang Yuanshan frowned. "Then what is it?"
"The commander in Shuofang City said," the soldier began.
"After Captain Shen went out, he continuously monitored the movement of the Calamity Beast within the reconnaissance area and discovered that a large number of Calamity Beast were indeed moving in one general direction."
"Then, they looked in that direction and discovered it was the location of the base."
"Therefore, it was finally confirmed that the Calamity Beast did indeed exhibit abnormal behavior, and its destination was the base!"
"Monitor the movement patterns of the Calamity Beast within our capabilities?" Wang Yuanshan asked, frowning slightly.
Seemingly sensing his commander's confusion, the soldier hesitated before nodding.
"Uh, yes, that's what the leader of Shuofang City said!"
"Daoist Master, can you do this much?" Wang Yuanshan frowned as he looked at Li Daoyi.
"No!"
Li Daoyi spoke slowly.
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Yuanshan's slightly widened eyes, and before the other party could ask any questions, he continued:
"That kid can now monitor a range of at least two hundred kilometers. You at least need to give him back his ability, otherwise how am I supposed to monitor that far!"
Hearing this, Wang Yuanshan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, the Daoist priest's voice rang in my ears again.
"However, this shows that the kid's meditation hasn't slacked off. Otherwise, given the average warrior's mental training, it would be impossible to monitor the movements of the Calamity Beast within a 200-kilometer radius at this stage!"
Slightly realizing something, but not entirely understanding it, Wang Yuanshan slowly nodded.
Next, he inquired with Shuofang City about how they determined the specific actions of the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast and how they decided how to respond to them.
The soldier replied to each one.
A moment later, the words fell.
Wang Yuanshan nodded slowly.
A large number of Calamity Beast headed towards the base, attacking Sixth Tier Calamity Beast, and weapons that appeared to be specially manufactured to counter nuclear weapons...
There were actually no problems throughout the entire process.
After all, even the only low-level Calamity Beast that might have revealed information was scattered and given false intelligence.
At this point, normal methods are no longer sufficient to ascertain the Calamity Beast's plans.
After all, if you want to know the plans of the Calamity Beast, you need to meet several conditions.
1. You need to know that the situation of the Calamity Beast in the Erosion Zone has changed.
2. You need to encounter Calamity Beast that knows some information about you.
3. You must be able to see through false information obtained during interrogation.
4. You need to be able to investigate the true purpose of the Calamity Beast.
That already seems complicated, but more importantly, you need to have enough time to complete the process.
If even the first point is noticed, the Calamity Beast's plan is probably already close to being implemented, let alone the following points.
If this process is followed, the plan will likely be completed before the exploration is even finished.
The Calamity Beast probably thinks the same way.
However, they didn't expect that someone would only realize the first point and then rush towards the fourth.
This was something that even the Calamity Beast hadn't anticipated.
Even now, knowing the whole story, Wang Yuanshan still finds it hard to believe.
"Is the difference between people really this great...?"
Wang Yuanshan sighed inwardly.
"But... it was still too risky!"
Yes, that was extremely dangerous!
The optimal solution to this incident would have been to detect it earlier and then relay the information.
After that, the General Headquarters should immediately transfer Lieutenant General Jiang Xingwei over.
At that point, with two against four, they might still be at a disadvantage, but they should at least be able to hold the base.
Unfortunately, just as he had thought, it would take an unknown amount of time just to notice the changes in the situation of the Calamity Beast within the Erosion Zone, let alone much longer.
As for this time...
With a focused gaze, Wang Yuanshan silently stared at the enormous Light Gate blocking his path.
I don't know what was there, how could it have turned into this after being destroyed? And what about Shen Heng, and the other soldiers...?
Suddenly, the figure in the white uniform who had been studying something in front of them finally stopped.
He paused, then turned and walked over.
Seeing this, everyone perked up and immediately went to meet them.
" Professor Yan, how is it?" Zhang Weijun asked.
"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?" Yan Yu asked.
"Enough with the chit-chat, let's start with the good news!" Li Daoyi waved his hand, saying somewhat impatiently.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yu nodded and said:
"The good news is, they're probably not dead. What happened earlier should have just caused them to move to another location, not killed them!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"And what's the bad news?" Zhang Weijun asked.
The others also looked at Yan Yu.
The bad news is...
Yan Yu paused, looked at everyone, and said:
"They might have been transported somewhere!"
"Somewhere?" Zhang Weijun frowned slightly.
"Yes, somewhere!" Yan Yu nodded.
"It wasn't left inside the Erosion Zone, or..."
Li Daoyi paused as he spoke, his gaze sweeping across the Light Gate ahead.
"They were teleported to the Ruins Realm?"
The people around looked somber.
This situation was raised by someone during their research before Professor Yan arrived.
The question at the time was, since they were teleported here, could there be others who were teleported to the Ruins Realm?
The others were unsure, but logically speaking, this conjecture seemed to make sense.
Yan Yu nodded in agreement with the others.
"The place I mentioned does indeed include the Ruins Realm!"
"Including?" The short-haired girl from the special operations team stepped forward slightly and asked.
"Yes," Yan Yu turned slightly and pointed to the Light Gate ahead, "We just inserted instruments from different angles to test it. The space that makes up this Light Gate is very chaotic. Inserting instruments from different angles yields different data. In other words, this Light Gate may currently contain multiple different spaces simultaneously."
"Multiple different spaces?"
The crowd frowned slightly, somewhat not understanding the meaning of those words.
"Does that mean we can go through this Light Gate to different places?" the short-haired girl from the special operations team asked again.
"No!"
Yan Yu looked at her, raised his hand and pointed to the Light Gate in the distance, explaining:
" The Light Gate is just a door. Normally, when you open this door, it only leads to one place, so you can use it to enter that place."
"But now, when this door is opened, multiple places can be seen."
"Although it may seem like there are many doors, it is no longer a normal, complete door, nor does it possess the function of a normal door leading to a place."
"What will happen to the people inside?" Zhang Weijun asked closely from the side.
"If they had enough resources, they should be able to continue living," Yan Yu said.
"Is there any way for them to get out? Or is there any way we can rescue them?" Zhang Weijun continued to ask.
"Hmm... we can't be sure, but there's nothing we can do about it."
Yan Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"Space is not something we can control, or rather, normal people cannot handle things related to space."
"After all, even with the weight of Blue Star, it only causes slight Distortion in space, let alone us."
At this point, Yan Yu paused, then looked at the Light Gate and said:
"What surprises me is that there are actually Calamity Beast in the Ruins Realm capable of manipulating space to this extent... The future of Origin Power seems to be even broader than I thought!"
The crowd remained silent, either unsure how to respond or simply unwilling to do so.
"So, what are the chances of them coming out?" Zhang Weijun asked in a deep voice.
"It's hard to say!"
Yan Yu spoke slowly, looking at everyone:
"However, you'd better be prepared that they might not be able to get out! Of course, that's assuming they haven't been teleported to the Ruins Realm."
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.
Even Jiang Xingwei, who usually has a cold expression, remained solemn.
Beside her, a short-haired girl bit her lower lip, her fingers clenched so tightly they turned white.
"Call..."
"Rustling..."
A buzzing sound filled my ears.
Shen Heng lay on the ground, listening silently.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is blue sky, white clouds, sunshine...
(I didn't go to the Ruins Realm; it was just a dungeon.)
