C163 (1/2)

On the second day, Xiao Seliu organized the technical forces within the country and battled bitterly for two days and two nights, before finally obtaining a huge harvest. They obtained traces of the Optical Scientist from the R Nation's transport system, and it was no different from the route Xiao Ding had searched for.

Xiao Seliu determined that the Optical Scientist must have been imprisoned in some secret base in that mountain. He ordered the Thunderbolt Team to save the Optical Scientist at all costs.

This was because the Optical Scientist was a key figure in breaking through the speed of light. In the current world, whoever grasped the secret to breaking through the speed of light would be the one to control space. Whoever mastered space was the future hegemon of the universe.

Therefore, it was no wonder that Xiao Seliu gave such an order when it came to the problem of the Optical Scientist, or even the problem of the existence of a nation.

However, Team like this was originally such a difficult and secret mission.

Upon receiving the order, Xie Weiwu was troubled, although he had finally found the location of the Optical Scientist, but he had no clue at all, because up until now, he still could not find any traces of the base, let alone the entrance to the base.

Xie Weiwu gathered the six of them for a meeting, and took the risk to call Lin Beiyang over.

Ever since the five of them rejected their suggestion, Xiao Ding had never thought of any other way. He felt that Xie Weiwu and the rest had observed it carefully enough from afar, and if they continued to observe from afar, they would not be able to find anything. If he wanted to find the entrance to the base, he would have to get closer to have a closer look. Also, he had to go there during the day to inspect it. Because there are many subtle marks in the night that cannot be seen.

Thus, Xiao Ding stayed at home to raise his spirit energy, not going out any further. He knew that saving Optical Scientist was an immovable and unshakeable mission, and if he wanted to save Optical Scientist, there would be a fierce battle sooner or later. Therefore, it was a matter of utmost urgency to increase his own strength.

After fighting a few times, Xiao Ding realized that even if he had already reached the middle stage of the Aurous Core Stage, in the current world, he should still be a strange existence. However, this was the age of firearms. No matter how strong the cultivators' spiritual force was, it was just wishful thinking to keep blocking the sharp bullets.

Old Ghost had once told him that his spiritual energy would run out as well. Therefore, in order to face the upcoming battle, he had to increase his spiritual power as soon as possible.

On this day, Xiao Ding continuously consumed Green Fluorescent Snake s. It was a big city and the spiritual energy there was very thin. Relying on cultivation, he did not have a single trace of spiritual energy for half a day. Of course, when using the green jade-like Inner Core, he would also choose those with shorter ages, those Inner Core with stronger spirit energy, he would be able to use them once, but using them nonstop would be huge trouble.

Therefore, Xiao Ding chose to consume two to three of the emerald Inner Core s that were younger than five hundred years old. After that, he would cultivate and absorb them. The Inner Core's spirit energy was not strong, but with Xiao Ding's current strength, there would be no problem absorbing it, and he could quickly absorb it to his own spirit energy.

If consumed together with the absorption process, it would usually take around two hours. After the absorption, Xiao Ding would rest for half an hour or so, relax a little, and try again.

In a single day, Xiao Ding consumed a total of twenty or so emerald Inner Core. Seeing him fight so hard, Old Ghost understood his meaning, but he still reminded him: ”Brat, this won't do. Using Green Fluorescent Snake s can be said to be using external forces to raise one's spirit energy. If he met an enemy that was stronger than him, it would usually devour him. Sometimes it doesn't collapse. Therefore, you can't use this technique frequently to increase your strength. During this day, you have consumed quite a bit. Stop and first stabilize your Spiritual Energy. ”

Xiao Ding stopped, went to the bathroom to wash up, and returned to his room to sleep.

When Xiao Ding slept, it was already four in the morning. When he was woken up by Deng Zhou, it was only seven. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked: ”Are you ready to go?”

Deng Zhou said: ”General Xiao has given the order to gather us to discuss countermeasures.”

Hearing Xie Weiwu's explanation, Xiao Ding did not make a sound, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The others didn't have any practical methods, so they didn't know what to say. It was a wasteland, and after observing it from afar for a long time, he still could not find the entrance to the base. Other than going closer to check, there was really nothing else he could do. However, when he got closer to check, he did not have any cover, and was completely exposed to the enemy. If it was the R countrymen, it would be fine, but it could be said that they had entered by mistake. They were people of Hua Xia Country, so they could immediately understand the reason why.

After a long while, Lin Zhongke glanced at Xiao Ding, and probingly said: ”I think, that Xiao Ding can only do it. Captain Xie, let Xiao Ding go and try him out.”

After Lin Zhongke said this, Yang Zongfu also said, ”I think it's worth a try.”

Liu Feixu immediately said resolutely: ”This is too risky. If I'm not careful, Xiao Ding will not be able to return.”

Deng Zhou looked at the Xiao Ding who had no reaction, and said: ”Actually, to us, which mission wasn't a risk? Which mission wasn't a life wager? ”So …”

He thought, since the General Xiao already gave the death order, that meant no matter what, they have to rush forward.

”I still don't agree. Xiao Ding is the main force of our Thunderbolt Team.” Liu Feixu also looked at Xiao Ding, and discovered that even after hearing all these words regarding his life and death, he did not have any reaction, and actually acted as though he was an old student in meditation. He could not help but become slightly angry, glared at him, and said: ”Besides, the base of the R Nation is so secretive, then it's definitely extremely dangerous inside. Xiao Ding decided to stay and fight when they entered. For such a small matter, I suggest that we complete it. ”
