Chapter 396

~9 min read 1,624 words

In the capital of Huaguo, beside a black game cabin in a hall of an underground base, a middle-aged soldier wearing a general's uniform was looking at a huge screen hanging high opposite the hall.

On the screen, two young soldiers wearing thin silver armor were fighting each other with bare hands.

The movements of these two soldiers clearly carried the shadow of the Four Beasts Art. Under the blessing of the silver armor, their figures were extremely fast, and they could rush out several zhang away with a flash.

And every punch thrown out made a harsh sonic boom, as if it carried the power of ten thousand jun.

No matter who was hit by the other's fist, they seemed to be hit by a huge object, flying directly more than ten meters away and smashing a large pit into the sandy ground.

But under the protection of the armor, the two soldiers would quickly stand up and continue to rush up to fight each other, as if they were two wild beasts that didn't know fatigue at all.

Just at this moment, the indicator light of the black game cabin lit up, the lid slowly opened from the inside out, and another man sat up from inside and walked out.

It was exactly Chen Boshi, who had met Wang Yu in the game earlier.

"How is it? Is that person Number One?" The middle-aged general looked at Chen Boshi and asked in a deep voice.

He was exactly the other person in charge of the base, General Xu.

"According to my judgment, it is more than ninety-nine percent certain that it is Number One." Chen Boshi replied.

"Then that means this person is really Number One?" General Xu showed a trace of surprise on his face.

"This exoskeleton combat suit made of 'Runic Alloy' material looks very effective. Compared to the combat suits made of super-titanium alloy materials in the past, the weight is reduced by at least half, and it is much lighter." Chen Boshi did not immediately answer General Xu's words, but after his gaze also fell on the huge screen for a moment, a trace of joy appeared on his face instead.

"Yes, and it's even more than that.

This newly developed Runic Alloy is more than twice as elastic and tough as the old alloy materials. Exoskeleton combat suits made with them, as long as people who have successfully practiced the Four Beasts Art wear them, can be easily put into actual combat.

Those few volumes of Talisman Encyclopedia brought back by Number One from the Setan World are truly unexpected treasures. Just by inscribing some of the types of runes recorded on them onto ordinary alloys, it can bring earth-shaking changes to these alloy materials.

Now the development and research of this kind of Runic Alloy has been listed as a first-class secret by the authorities, and its importance is even ranked above the Four Beasts Map technique.

After all, if you want to manufacture mechas, what you need most is metal materials with excellent performance. These Runic Alloys have huge potential and are very likely to exceed the several alloy formula materials given by that place." General Xu said solemnly.

"Yes, if these Runic Alloys can really be put into the manufacturing of the several types of mechas our country is responsible for, I'm afraid the performance of the manufactured mechas will also be greatly improved. No wonder the authorities value it so much.

Looking at it this way, the importance of Number One must be further increased. If it really doesn't work, let the Wu Shen Team take action. Let them go to Number One's side to ensure his personal safety." Chen Boshi looked at the young soldiers still fighting on the screen and said thoughtfully.

"Dispatch the Wu Shen Team? Doctor, even if that person is really Number One, there's no need to dispatch this group of people, right?

The Wu Shen Team is the most elite force sent to our base by the authorities. As long as this group of people is here, there is no need to worry about Western superpowered individuals coming to the base to make trouble.

Although Number One is important and has a special identity, we have already obtained the data of the Setan World. Although we now only need to guard against Western countries obtaining information about runes and the Four Beasts Map from his mouth, there is no need to dispatch this force, right? We can completely dispatch the Superpowered Guard Team or the newly formed Four Evils Team." General Xu was startled upon hearing this and couldn't help but speak to stop him.

"No, General Xu. The importance of Number One now is even higher than before.

Because I just learned from his mouth that after he was attacked at the base last time, his consciousness actually traveled back to the Setan World again, and he even cultivated into a Foundation Establishment cultivator. And this time after returning from there, he also brought back magic power." Chen Boshi explained calmly instead.

"Impossible. The Setan channel has been closed. How could his consciousness travel back again?

Could it be that Western countries sent someone to impersonate Number One? This is simply a trap." General Xu was stunned for a moment, then thought and said.

"It won't be.

This Number One not only mastered the Four Beasts Divine Charm Map, which is more effective than the one at the base, but also clearly knows a lot about the spells of the Setan World. He even demonstrated several spells from the data to me on the spot, and was even able to 'summon wind and rain' in the virtual space of 'Star River.'

You must know that 'Star River' is known as the second real world on Blue Star in the future. If things can be done in this virtual space, then they can definitely be done in the real world. There is no doubt about this." Chen Boshi replied affirmatively.

"If that's the case, then this person is really Number One. But is it really necessary to dispatch the Wu Shen Team?

Various research projects at our base are now at the most critical moment. At this time, there must be no problems with the base's security. If it really doesn't work, let the Superpowered Team and the Four Evils Team take action together; that would be better than letting the Wu Shen Team leave the base." General Xu replied after deliberation.

"The strongest strength of the Superpowered Team is only a B-level superpowered individual. Although the Four Evils Team has great potential, because it was just formed, whether it is equipment or coordination, it is only barely satisfactory. If they run into the British Union's special superpowered troops, I'm afraid they won't be able to get any benefits.

What's more, the West is the British Union's base camp. Only by dispatching the Wu Shen Team can Number One be safely brought back to the country." Chen Boshi shook his head and said.

After listening, General Xu frowned and fell into thought again.

Seeing this, Chen Boshi continued to persuade:

"The reason why the base's research on artificial spiritual veins is now in a predicament and has not made much progress is because we have no samples of Heaven and Earth Qi to study.

This time Number One brought back real magic power. If we can analyze it, I believe we will definitely have gains in the development of artificial spiritual veins.

Also, Number One was able to travel to the Cultivation World without a channel last time, so maybe he can travel back again in the future.

In this way, we can continuously obtain more valuable and precious data from the Cultivation World, which will definitely be of great help in surviving the Blue Star disaster later."

"Alright, Doctor, you have convinced me. I will personally sign the order to let the Wu Shen Team take action once.

Actually, in my opinion, preventing Western countries from obtaining top-secret information about the Setan World from Number One's mouth is also a very important matter.

The reason why these data are strictly kept secret now is also to prevent the upcoming Blue Star Alliance from being completely controlled by Western powers such as the British Union.

After all, apart from our Huaguo, almost all other first-class powers in the East are in the West.

Moreover, it is not our country that started doing this first. Isn't the development of superpowered individuals by countries like the British Union also kept strictly secret from our country all along?

Speaking of this, we still have to thank the Doctor. Without your reminder, our country might still be led by the nose by Western countries on this point, and we wouldn't have foreseen that Huaguo's situation in the Blue Star Alliance would be so miserable in the future." General Xu finally made a decision, but sighed and thanked Chen Boshi.

"Although I come from that place and am not a real Huaguo person, as far as I know, in the early stages, the British Union indeed relied on powerful superpowered individuals to dominate the Blue Star Alliance in the future.

Because of this, most yellow-skinned people were treated as consumables and cannon fodder in vain in the future.

Especially during the early stages of the disaster, Huaguo's population was caught off guard and decreased by more than half at once.

This is also the main reason that led to the insufficient supply of soldiers in the later stages of the Blue Star Alliance, forcing them to rely on cloned soldiers to barely maintain the front line." Chen Boshi replied very calmly instead.
