Chapter 2469: Strength is stronger than imagined

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Duan Liye shook his head and said, "I don't know where the Huben Camp is. When I went to the Huben Camp, I was taken there in a coma, and when I left, I was taken out in a coma. Moreover, the station of the Huben Camp is no different from the dead soldier station. It is all underground architecture, even comparable to an underground city. And we students of the Huben Camp all live on the bottom floor of this underground city. In the twenty years I was in the Huben Camp, I never saw the sun, nor did I ever see the moon."

Ye Chen asked in horror, "Twenty years without seeing the light of day, I can understand that the dead soldiers have no choice. You people who have the right to choose, after arriving there and finding that it is a life without seeing the light of day, wouldn't you resist or escape?"

"How could that be?" Duan Liye blurted out without hesitation, "The twenty years in the Huben Camp were almost in the blink of an eye. Every minute and every second passed extremely fulfilling. In those twenty years there, I broke through from an Eight-Star Martial Artist to the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm, and then crossed from the Great Perfection of the Ming Realm into the First Heaven of the Dark Realm, followed by the Second Heaven and the Third Heaven. In my eighty-five years of life, those twenty years in the Huben Camp were the most fulfilling twenty years of my life!"

Ye Chen didn't expect that Duan Liye looked to be in his early sixties, but he was actually eighty-five years old.

However, Duan Liye was an expert in the Dark Realm after all, and the natural lifespan of Dark Realm experts was over 120 or 130 years, so it was reasonable for him to look younger than his actual age.

At this time, Duan Liye mentioned the Huben Camp and said with regret, "I am still regretting it now. I regret that my cultivation speed in the Huben Camp back then didn't reach the promotion standard of the Huben Camp. If I could have broken through to the Fourth Heaven of the Dark Realm during those twenty years there, then I could have stayed for another ten years, or even longer..."

Ye Chen then suddenly realized.

Not everyone had such luck as himself, being able to quickly master spiritual energy and directly obtain stronger strength that surpassed martial artists.

And the vast majority of martial artists, in order to make progress in cultivation, practiced day after day for decades.

For such people, the excellent cultivation opportunity of the Huben Camp was simply tailor-made for them. Not only could it provide them with various resources, but more importantly, it could allow them to practice wholeheartedly for decades without being disturbed by day and night.

For those martial arts fanatics whose minds were mostly on cultivation, being able to have such an opportunity, not only would they not hate or exclude it, but it was worth more than gold.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen suddenly remembered Li Yalin's method of using earthquakes to locate 547's station, so he asked Duan Liye, "In the twenty years you were in the Huben Camp, have you experienced earthquakes or tsunamis?"

"Earthquakes? Tsunamis?" Duan Liye shook his head, "I have no impression... In the Huben Camp, most of our time was spent practicing, and we paid almost no attention to things around us, so I have no relevant memories."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little disappointed in his heart.

He naturally knew that Duan Liye had already been given psychological hints by himself and could not possibly have any concealment.

And Duan Liye had no impression of earthquakes or tsunamis. It was possible that the place where he was indeed hadn't experienced earthquakes or tsunamis, but it was also possible that he had experienced them but didn't remember them.

After all, he was different from 547.

Every day 547 spent in the dead soldier station, he was thinking of ways to confirm information from the outside world, or thinking of ways to record time, and there was not a moment when he wasn't thinking about how to escape.

Therefore, 547 would be very sensitive to any movement in the surrounding environment.

But Duan Liye joined the Huben Camp completely voluntarily and had no thought of wanting to escape. Even he regretted not being able to stay in the Huben Camp for another ten years. Such a person who was happy and didn't think of home, naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to his surroundings.

Helplessly, Ye Chen asked him again, "How many martial artists like you are there in the entire Huben Camp?"

Duan Liye thought for a while and said, "In the twenty years I was there, there were more than thirty people one after another, and there were about twenty people at the same time."

Ye Chen frowned and asked, "That is to say, the Huben Camp has cultivated at least dozens of Dark Realm experts."

"Yes," Duan Liye nodded, "At least forty or fifty."

Ye Chen was surprised at the organization's powerful reserves, and asked with some surprise, "Since the Poqing Society has so many Dark Realm experts, why didn't any of the people sent in these two missions reach the Dark Realm?"

Duan Liye explained, "Although there are many Dark Realm experts, at least half of them have been assigned to the Shenji Camp. It is said that they will all be arranged to serve at the organization's core base. The remaining ones, some will be assigned to the Jinyiwei, and some will be assigned to the Five Army Governor's Offices. The average number of Dark Realm experts assigned to each Governor's Office is actually only a few. And the governors of each Governor's Office will also try their best to keep Dark Realm experts by their side as personal guards, and will only designate one or two as special envoys. Like me, I am assigned to perform various tasks, so overall, Dark Realm experts are not enough."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was already horrified. He knew the organization was strong, but he didn't expect it to be stronger than he imagined.

Subsequently, he calmed down and asked Duan Liye, "Then what is the establishment of the Jinyiwei?"

Duan Liye said, "Although the Jinyiwei does not serve by the English Lord's side, they are directly dispatched by the English Lord. After they leave the Huben Camp, they will be arranged all over the world under other identities, but I don't know more than that."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "As for the New York mission, it was mainly because the target of the assassination had great influence in the United States, and the mission was to wipe out the whole family. Once successful, this matter would inevitably cause a huge sensation worldwide. Therefore, in order to avoid exposure, the organization never sends martial arts experts when encountering things that will attract global attention. They all send dead soldiers;"

"Although the strength of dead soldiers cannot be compared with Dark Realm experts, due to the development of thermal weapons, they also have their own special tactics and can basically possess combat capabilities no less than martial arts experts. Therefore, letting them go out, once successful, can easily interfere with the public's line of sight, let the public spontaneously define the murderer as a killer, mercenary, or some extremists with weapons. In short, it will not be linked to martial arts experts, so it will not expose the organization to risk."

As he spoke, Duan Liye added, "As for the Northern Europe mission, it was indeed quite sudden. That time, it was information suddenly obtained. There were only a few hours of preparation time before departure. It just so happened that we had a plane in Cyprus at that time, so the organization sent the Cavalry Guards there to disguise themselves;"

"Moreover, the information obtained by the organization also had some deviations. The information was sent by an attendant around the target person. He said in the information that the highest strength among them was only a Five-Star Martial Artist, and there was only one person. The strength of the eight Cavalry Guards, even if they were eight Five-Star Martial Artists, could not be their opponents. Coupled with the enemy being in the light and us in the dark, it was impossible to fail, so they were sent over. I didn't expect that one would die and seven would go missing..."

Ye Chen thought of Lin Wan'er, and thought of the ring Lin Wan'er gave him, and pursued Duan Liye, "How much do you know about the Northern Europe mission? What is the background of that Lin Wan'er? Do you know?"

Duan Liye shook his head, "I don't know any Lin Wan'er. As for the Northern Europe mission, I only know that it was a person named by the English Lord. In all the years I have joined the organization, this is the first time I have encountered it. As for the others, I don't know..." ===== CHAPTER 2470 =====
