In fact, this underground base was extrely outdated. Compared to the technology of this era, it was at least three hundred years behind.
For instance, modern military bases would have surveillance asures at key junctions of various pipelines. However, in this spacious ventilation duct, large enough to drive an armored vehicle through, there wasn't even a single guard.
They finally arrived at a newer area of the underground base. Through so iron-barred windows, they saw a series of huge "beast cages."
But the creatures inside were not livestock; they were enormous and fierce-looking bugs. High-strength building materials separated each beast cage, which had only a basketball-sized feeding port. The space inside was cramped and filled with the foul stench of excrent.
The roaring of the bugs was incessant.
So "slaves" with pulse collars around their necks were numbly transporting various types of bug food.
If they showed any disobedience, the pulse collars would emit a powerful current, making their lives worse than death.
Warriors from the "George Warriors Group," dressed in dark red military uniforms, patrolled in teams of five. The slaves had no human rights. They had to make way for the patrolling teams and also kneel and kowtow.
In such an environnt, the slaves were without hope, their eyes void of life, and the most prevalent emotion expressed in their bodies was "numbness."
At one point, they even saw a slave accidentally extend an arm into the feeding port. A bug inside imdiately shot its mouthpart into the slave's arm, sucking the life out of the fully grown man until only skin remained, all within seconds!
Bai Zhijin was furious but was forcefully held back by Chen Gu, preventing him from charging out.
Chen Gu was also grinding his teeth. He too was furious, but he understood the need to be rational; impatience could spoil great plans.
They continued along the ventilation duct when suddenly Qiao Shuangyi stopped. He gestured to the others to co forward. Together, they looked out from a vent covered by grilles.
Qiao Shuangyi, through gritted teeth, said, "They're citizens of the Confederation!"
In this breeding workshop, there were several hundred slaves. Judging from their race and clothing, they were undoubtedly from the Confederation!
Chen Gu's brows furrowed tightly. "The George Warriors Group has quite the nerve!"
Previously, Wang Chengqian had only ntioned that they had captured civilians from Ekmolon Star Nation and so surrounding minor star nations to be used as slaves.
It appeared the Confederation had not yet discovered that so of their citizens had also been captured by the George Warriors Group.
"They're courting death!" The students were filled with righteous indignation.
Chen Gu activated his "Radiation Field" to sense ahead and, grinding his teeth, pushed everyone forward. "Keep moving!"
"Up ahead is their barracks. We'll soon find our target!"
There were actually not many people in the barracks; most of the warriors were out on missions, and those left in the camp were resting.
Chen Gu found an exit and led everyone out. They infiltrated what seed like a higher-grade barrack and found a map of the underground base.
Everyone entered this barrack and gathered around Chen Gu to examine the map.
Bai Zhijin was in charge of keeping watch at the door.
Suddenly, he warned in a low voice, "Soone's coming!"
Everyone imdiately took cover and prepared for defense. A team of warriors passed by outside. Eight of them wore the typical dark red military uniforms, and the one in front was an officer in a yellow uniform.
They walked past the front of the barrack, but the officer suddenly turned towards it and pointed. "Fire at will!"
The eight warriors behind him raised their guns without hesitation and opened fire. THUD! THUD! THUD! The energy bullets easily penetrated the door and windows, creating holes in the walls.
The officer swiftly retreated while quickly deploying troops through the communication channel, shouting, "We're being invaded!"
"Hiding in the officer's barrack numbered [7-118]. All nearby warriors, co ard for a siege!"
Chen Gu slapped his palm, expanding the energy shield's area by several tis to protect everyone within. From deep within Shang Qingye's shoulders erged eight chanical arms. The "compact" multi-barrel rapid-fire energy guns began to rotate and fire, their bullets easily piercing the walls and turning the eight warriors outside into sieves.
But Chen Gu was puzzled. "How were we discovered?"
Shang Qingye didn't dwell on it. After dealing with the ordinary warriors, all guns were aid at the officer.
Having witnessed nurous horrors along the way, each person had a fiery rage, ready to unleash it with a spree of killing.
From afar, shouting could be heard as the George Warriors Group gathered.
Just as Shang Qingye was about to fire, everyone in the group suddenly felt a wave of dizziness. Not good! Shang Qingye thought, but it was too late; Shang Qingye couldn't muster the energy to fire.
A professional? After recovering from the dizziness, this was their first assumption about the strange attack.
They saw Chen Gu already standing outside; at his feet lay the corpse of the officer.
Chen Gu turned to look at everyone, his expression grave. "It's not a professional. It's a powerful psychic!"
