Chapter 178: Core

But Ye Cang had not walked many steps when he heard a cry of pain from behind him.

Listening carefully, it was the voice of Zheng Jiaoshou.

"Ouch, my old back!!"

"I'm just old now; if I could be even 10 years younger, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!"

Upon hearing Zheng Jiaoshou's voice, Ye Cang finally realized.

He had forgotten about the five old professors behind him.

They were all nearly 70 years old, and it was his oversight to have them accompany him this far.

Besides that, Ye Cang also changed his mind.

He no longer planned to explore the entire Area 52 by himself.

He decided to call in troops directly!

Let the Super Soldiers explore at the fastest speed possible.

The reason he had come in person at the start was for fear of missing something important.

As it turned out, after walking through over a dozen laboratories and warehouses, he had found nothing.

Hmm... except for the five old professors.

After confirming his plan, Ye Cang began to make a final verification with the five old professors.

"Professors, are you certain that you five are the only Huaxia people in the entire Area 52, and there are no other Huaxia people?"

Zheng Jiaoshou nodded immediately upon hearing this.

"I am certain!"

"There are only us five Huaxia people in the entire Area 52."

"Because we couldn't enter the core area at all and could only handle some tasks on the periphery."

"No matter how large the periphery is, there comes a day when it is fully explored; the five of us finished walking it over a decade ago, and I am certain there are no other Huaxia people!"

Having received a definitive answer.

Ye Cang did not dawdle and began to mobilize troops directly.

"Qinglong Legion, hear my order: from this moment on, transfer all missions to the Qi Lin Legion, and assemble at Area 52 at your fastest speed."

"There is a brand new mission for you now!"

Upon receiving the order, the Qinglong Legion immediately transferred their missions and then boarded the Chixiao Transport Plane to rush to Area 52.

Ye Cang also exited the Underground Base of Area 52 and returned to the surface.

Before leaving, he did not forget to use Zhizi to monitor the entire Underground Base to prevent any unusual activity.

Half an hour later.

The entire Qinglong Legion arrived on the surface of Area 52.

The five old professors were dumbfounded as they looked at the tall Qinglong Legion soldiers wearing Power Armor and holding Chainswords.

"Th-this, this is the Huaxia military?!" Zheng Jiaoshou asked with an expression of disbelief.

Ye Cang nodded.

"That's right, they are Huaxia's Super Soldiers; before you is the Qinglong Legion."

After speaking, Ye Cang said to the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion: "Ten of you, come out and escort these five old professors to the current base."

"When we return, we will take them back with us."

"After you drop them off, return and join the exploration team."

As the words fell, ten Super Soldiers immediately stepped out of the ranks and took the five old professors onto the Chixiao Transport Plane.

Ye Cang continued to say to the Qinglong Legion: "This is the Eagle's Area 52; I believe you have heard many rumors about this place."

"And your mission today is to explore the Underground Base of Area 52!"

"I will transmit the terrain map to you in a moment."

"Remember, when exploring, be careful not to destroy things indiscriminately."

"If anyone resists, kill them without exception!"

"Also, if you discover that something is wrong, do not hide it or act tough; report it immediately, and I will rush over at the fastest speed!"

"Now, move out!"

As the words "move out" fell, the Super Soldiers of the Qinglong Legion immediately entered the Underground Base through the entrance Ye Cang had opened.

However, not all of the Qinglong Legion entered the Underground Base; a portion remained on the surface to be responsible for patrols and security.

To prevent any unexpected accidents from occurring.

And by coincidence, among the Super Soldiers left on the surface for patrol and security, Liu Chuang was there.

Liu Chuang was currently directing the other Super Soldiers of the Qinglong Legion.

At this time, he was no longer wearing the Dark Alloy Armor of the Xiongbing Company; in its place was the exclusive Power Armor of the Qinglong Legion.

But his weapon had not changed; it was still that God-Slaying Axe.

The current Liu Chuang was already vastly different from before.

Although he was a soldier in the past, there had always been a bit of a hooligan air about him, but now that hooligan air had vanished.

In its place was the temperament exclusive to a soldier.

Liu Chuang had completely grown into a qualified soldier.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Cang walked to Liu Chuang's side.

"Liu Chuang."

"Chief Engineer!" Liu Chuang quickly raised his hand in a salute.

Seeing this, Ye Cang patted him lightly.

"Don't be so nervous; I just came to ask if you've gotten used to staying in the Qinglong Legion."

After lowering his hand, Liu Chuang replied with a serious expression: "I'm very used to it, Chief Engineer!"

"In the Qinglong Legion, no one cares about my past; they all treat me like a brother."

"I've learned a lot here, especially from the Qinglong Commander; he has always been earnestly teaching me all kinds of knowledge."

"If it weren't for the Commander, I wouldn't have improved so quickly, and at the same time, I am very grateful to you for giving me such an opportunity!"

When he said this, a hint of emotion appeared on Liu Chuang's face.

"Honestly, Chief Engineer, I, Liu Chuang, never imagined there would actually be a day when we would wipe out the Eagle Sauce."

"I'm not bad-mouthing the Black Troop behind their backs, but I truly feel that the days I spent in the Black Troop back then were just wasting time."

"Training was left to ourselves, we couldn't learn any tactics, it was basically just a state of being left to fend for ourselves, sigh!"

"In that state alone, I'm afraid defeating the Taotie would be a distant prospect; I don't understand what General Du Kaao was thinking."

"Also, I'm missing Xiao Lun a bit right now; I don't know how Xiao Lun is doing."

"He was sent out after being subjected to some inexplicable training by that inexplicable Angel, and I'm genuinely worried about Xiao Lun!"

When he said this, Liu Chuang's face was already filled with a look of worry.

But soon, the look of worry on Liu Chuang's face disappeared, and he returned to his usual serious demeanor.

"Sorry, Chief Engineer, I talked too much."

After finishing, Liu Chuang continued to direct the Qinglong Legion to set up defenses.

Ye Cang did not say anything more, just patted Liu Chuang lightly, then turned and left.

What else could he do?

He couldn't exactly tell Liu Chuang that Ge Xiaolun had returned and that he would have a chance to see him.

Time flew by, and 5 hours later.

By this time, the sky had already turned dark, and finally, a Super Soldier of the Qinglong Legion walked out from the opened entrance.

After the soldier came out, he ran quickly to Ye Cang.

"Report, Chief Engineer, the Underground Base has been fully explored!"

"We didn't encounter any danger during this time, and we discovered some things at the core location; you will need to make a decision on this."

"Besides that, we also captured over a hundred Eagle Sauce scientists; they all requested to surrender voluntarily."
