However, Lin Yao and the others only paused briefly before quickly exiting the main door, continuing forward along the green belt beside the wall. The conference building had a rectangular structure, and they were headed toward the longer side.
Since there was an open road nearby, the enemy was aware of their movements. Even with the cover of the green belt and Lin Yao's wood-based abilities, their progress was not smooth; they were constantly under fire from sniper rifles.
Wan Xiaoqi, being larger in stature, nearly got hit. Of course, what was most frustrating was that they could only passively endure the attacks, unable to even see where the enemy was located. They despised these hidden snipers. If I find out where you are, I'll strike you down with a bolt of lightning!
Don't boast too much; if a high-level ability user shows up, you'll be taken out in an instant! Truly, you are something else—no one in the team is spared from your sarcasm.
I almost forgot to mention—why haven't we seen any signs of ability users fighting along the way?
Lin Yao lazily replied, "Maybe they’ve already left."
What? Wang Jin felt that this response was completely off-topic.
What else could it be? It’s just that their attack plan wasn’t well organized. Hurry up; after we finish at the armory, I still need to go to the system management center.
While enduring the enemy's attacks, they quickly passed through the green belt area and reached another open stretch of road.
How do we get past here? The enemy is already on guard; using the same method as before probably won’t work.
Wang Jin, you blow up a lightning strike ahead!
Huh?
That sniper must have been keeping an eye on us this whole time. If you create a distraction with a lightning strike, he’ll be caught off guard and disoriented. During that moment of confusion, we can rush past.
One after another, Wang Jin couldn’t help but admire Lin Yao for her quick thinking, then shot a disdainful glance at Yao Beiluo.
Look at some people who still claim to be the best in Yunmeng Star. I think they’re far behind our captain.
Yao Beiluo didn’t react much but caught Lin Yao’s eye.
What are you rambling about? Hurry up!
With a loud boom of thunder, the seven members of the team rushed across the open road and into a corner near the armory.
Once there, Lin Yao signaled them to lower their bodies and stay silent while she crouched down to prepare for scouting ahead.
Wan Xiaoqi pulled her back, gesturing to herself, and then silently transformed into a small mouse, scurrying ahead to scout the way.
Watching the little mouse make its way toward the armory door, everyone felt a surge of tension.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The mouse quickly returned and transformed back into human form.
"Captain, the armory has been blown open," Wan Xiaoqi said, still catching her breath.
"Then we won't go to the armory. Let's head straight to the System Management Center."
Since there were no obstructions around the armory, they had to take a detour through the soldiers' dormitory at the back. Using the greenery there as cover, they entered the base's System Management Center.
The building of the System Management Center was eerily quiet; aside from signs of battle, not a single person could be seen.
Could it be that the System Management Center has also been taken over by the enemy? Zhen Zhen felt a momentary panic at this sight.
"The door is still closed; they should still be inside. Besides, we just experienced our teacher's spaceship being blown up. Is there anything worse than that?" Meng Xingchen said.
Zhen Zhen shot him a glance. "I just got out of that situation not long ago, and you bring it up again. Do you think we aren't sad enough or that we aren't panicking enough?"
Meng Xingchen quickly slapped his own face twice. "I'm sorry! It's all my fault for running my mouth."
"Alright then, if we can safely return this time, I'll forgive you!"
"Isn't this taking too long?"
Hearing the two still chatting at such a critical moment, Wan Xiaoqi couldn't help but tease them. "At such a crucial time, you two are flirting! What’s going on? Planning to stage a chaotic romance?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How can we think about that right now? We're just too nervous and chatting aimlessly."
"You can say whatever you want. Whether we live or die will be clear once that door to the System Management Center opens."
While they were chatting in the back, Lin Yao and Yao Beiluo were studying the electronic lock on the System Management Center's door in front.
"Wang Jin, can your lightning ability break this lock?" Lin Yao asked.
Wang Jin activated his ability to test it but then shook his head. "No, it won’t work. There should be a protective shield here that blocks abilities."
Many important buildings in the Yunmeng Star System are equipped with large protective shields capable of defending against aerial attacks, ground assaults, and abilities.
This type of shield is different from the portable energy shields developed by the Meng family; it is a massive and comprehensive system.
Once activated, unless the key hardware that set up the shield is destroyed or there’s an issue with the System Management Center itself, it is very difficult to breach.
The outer protective shield of the base failed to activate likely due to a sudden attack that damaged key hardware.
A few people stood helplessly around the electronic door lock, and at that moment, Lin Yao missed You Mi's skills immensely. Unfortunately, since the incident, she hadn't been able to encounter her again.
In that case, the only option was to find a weak point and force their way through! Lin Yao declared.
A weak point?
Lin Yao didn’t respond. Instead, she activated her Extreme Vision and scanned the entire building of the system management center.
"Everyone, listen to my command for a moment. Prepare your strongest attack and aim for that piece of glass!"
Upon hearing this, everyone shook off their lethargy and quickly got ready.
"Three... two... one, attack!"
With Lin Yao's command, everyone unleashed their abilities, followed by a sharp cracking sound.
They initially thought it was the glass shattering, but suddenly everything went dark. When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves lying in what resembled a medical pod.
The members of the Light Squad hurriedly lifted the pod covers and sat up, only to see their proctoring teacher, Xie Zhuo, and Chen Yiming standing beside them, applauding.
"Congratulations! You are the first ones out!"
"What? Where is this? What just happened?"
Everyone began to ask questions in confusion.
Chen Yiming smiled and patted the spot where they had just been lying. "Do you know what this is?"
"If we’re not mistaken, this should be a holographic pod," Meng Xingchen said confidently; as the heir of Meng Pharmaceuticals, he had seen quite a bit.
"That's right! This is indeed a holographic pod. But how did you know?"
"My dad bought one at a high price from outside for research purposes. However, there were significant technical barriers, so there hasn’t been much progress."
"You guys at Meng Pharmaceuticals are researching this too?" Wang Jin asked curiously.
