It was a simple but very spacious stone room, which could be tentatively called a meeting room.
Several figures were sitting there.
One of the figures, with her hair tied in a ponytail, was speaking continuously.
After a long silence, the words fell.
Everyone was still absorbed in the information they had just received.
The actions in Shuofang City may affect the current situation...
After a moment, Wang Hu asked in a deep voice:
"So, you think Shen Heng succeeded, which led to this situation?"
"Um."
Han Ling nodded, then paused for a moment before looking at Wang Hu.
"Do you... have other opinions?"
Wang Hu's lips twitched, but he didn't reply.
Shi Ruiyuan, standing to the side, hesitated somewhat before saying:
"Uh... we initially thought it was because the Daoist priest and the Sixth Tier Calamity Beast at the base were fighting too fiercely, causing the Erosion Zone to collapse, which led to this situation!"
Hearing this, Han Ling nodded in understanding, but still said:
"It is indeed possible, but the chances are much smaller. After all, given the state of the Erosion Zone at the time, it would be quite difficult for Sixth Tier Erosion Zone to completely destroy it!"
"Indeed!" Shi Ruiyuan nodded.
Wang Hu, sitting to the side, had a somber expression.
He said he'd been feeling something was off, and now he knew it was because of this!
If you say they didn't expect it, then they certainly didn't, but there's a reason why they didn't expect it, after all...
Wang Hu paused slightly, then glared menacingly at the side.
There, two figures stood slightly dazed, seemingly still processing the news they had just received.
He spoke, his tone clearly filled with suppressed anger:
"Hey you two, didn't you say before that everything was fine in Shuofang City?"
Upon hearing his words, the two figures stiffened slightly and looked away.
"Hey, I'm telling you, don't pretend you didn't hear me!" Wang Hu raised his voice and his tone became more serious.
Upon hearing this, the two of them froze again, and stopped turning their heads to look elsewhere.
"Ah, I suddenly have amnesia, Brother Xuan, you tell me!" Lü Wenrui said to Zhou Xuan while raising his hand to cover his head.
Poor acting skills... Everyone's lips twitched, but their gazes still fell on Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan's lips twitched slightly as well.
That fat bastard!
He cursed inwardly, but still lowered his gaze and looked at the crowd, saying:
"Ah, uh, Shuofang City was indeed fine before we came out!"
"Before we came out? If I remember correctly, you didn't say that before, did you?" Wang Hu's lips twitched even more.
"Uh, hehe, isn't that about right?" Zhou Xuan looked around and chuckled awkwardly.
"I'm almost there, my foot..."
Beside her, Han Ling picked up the water glass in front of her, took a sip, and looked at Zhou Xuan and Lü Wenrui with a slightly surprised expression.
She never expected to run into two people here.
and...
His gaze slowly moved, sweeping over everyone present.
Five Fifth Tier!
Somewhat unexpectedly, this was the first time she had ever encountered so many Fifth Tier gathered in one place.
"Forget it, after all, they were out hunting at the time, so it's normal that they didn't know about the situation in Shuofang City. Besides, it's also because you don't have any other Shuofang City warriors here, otherwise you should have discovered it long ago!" Han Ling put down the water cup in her hand.
Hearing this, Wang Hu finally stopped, but he still gave the two of them a fierce look before looking away.
Zhou Xuan and Lü Wenrui looked at Han Ling with gratitude in their eyes.
As expected of Sister Han!
Han Ling glanced at the two of them with a hint of helplessness before looking away.
"By the way, Captain Han, you mentioned earlier that you passed through several spaces. What is this space?" Shi Ruiyuan suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized what was happening and looked at Han Ling with confusion.
Han Ling seemed unsurprised by everyone's reaction, and she explained:
Do you think we live in a normal world?
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions faltered slightly.
This, no...
"No!" Wang Hu said directly from the side.
Everyone paused for a moment, glanced at Wang Hu, and then turned to Han Ling.
With confirmation, Han Ling nodded.
"Yes, the space we're currently in is most likely not a normal world!"
"This space not only contains the power that suppresses Origin Power, but also boundaries that shouldn't exist in the normal world."
"Furthermore, these boundaries also contain portals leading to other dimensions."
"None of these three things are what a normal world should have!"
The power to suppress the Origin Power, the boundary, the portal on the boundary... Everyone was slightly stunned, digesting this new information.
After a moment, Shi Ruiyuan raised his eyes.
"So, Captain Han, how did you discover the boundary and the portal?"
Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Han Ling.
Their base extends outwards to at least two or three hundred kilometers.
But apart from the endless Gobi Desert, there was nothing else to be seen.
"It was probably luck, no, it wasn't luck either. It's just that when I was teleported in, I happened to be close to the border. Later, while exploring, I unconsciously ended up at the border and then I saw the portal," Han Ling explained.
As she spoke, she tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, looked up at the crowd, and said:
"It's normal that you can't find it. After all, although your base isn't in the center of this space, it's close enough that unless you keep moving in a certain direction, you won't be able to find it!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips, unsure of what to say for a moment.
However, regardless of the circumstances.
It's not the Ruins Realm, that's good! It's not the Ruins Realm, that's good!!
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"So, why did you come here?" Wang Hu asked, raising his eyes.
Upon hearing this, everyone raised their eyes and looked at Han Ling.
Han Ling looked at everyone and said:
"If I didn't know where we were now, but now that I do, I have to find a way out, after all..."
She paused, looked at everyone, and said clearly and distinctly:
"If the captain had also been transported to a place like this, he probably would have already started taking action!"
There was no response, but everyone thought it was very likely.
after all...
Beside him, Wang Hu looked at Han Ling, then glanced at Zhou Xuan beside her.
Shen Heng is really someone to be envied...
He let out a soft breath, grinned, and said:
"In that case, let's pick some people from our side to go with you!"
Upon hearing this, Han Ling paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone.
"But what about you guys..."
"We don't need that many people here, just two will do!" Wang Hu said, glancing at everyone.
Without agreeing or refusing, Han Ling said with a serious expression:
"It's getting increasingly dangerous outside. I've already seen Calamity Beast starting to appear..."
In the woods.
Two figures walked quickly forward.
" Sister Zhaoran, the investigators are back from their investigation!" Yu Yanhui called out before even stepping into the house.
Inside the room, a figure looked over.
"What are the specific findings of the investigation?" Lin Zhaoran asked.
" Captain Lin!"
The investigator raised his hand in salute, then began to report.
"Currently, it has been detected that the Calamity Beast have indeed gathered on a large scale, numbering approximately 630, and they are indeed moving towards our base!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoran frowned deeply.
Over six hundred head of cattle—if they were outside, she wouldn't care at all, but here...
Manpower is far from sufficient, ammunition is almost depleted, and more importantly, Origin Power is restricted, making even using it difficult...
" Sister Zhaoran, what do we do now?" Yu Yanhui asked nervously from the side, also aware of the current problem.
Taking a light breath, Lin Zhaoran spoke:
"Abandon this current stronghold and move to..."
