Chapter 136 Feint to the East, Attack in the West
"We need to be as high-profile as possible to attract their attention and provoke hatred. As long as we ensure safety, we can focus our attention on our doomsday fortress."
Yu Miaomiao gave K her first order, though she wasn't sure if K would obey. "K, all you have to do is protect Dr. Ye from harm. Remember, make sure he isn't hurt in the slightest."
Ye Jian is not a superhuman and has no ability to protect himself, so he left K and Xu Nanwei behind to protect him.
"As long as you don't leave the car and don't open the door, no one can hurt you in a short time. You only need to do two things: eat, drink, and have fun in the car, and open the curtains so they can see you unintentionally."
Although Ye Jian and Xu Nanwei had some questions, they mostly agreed with the decision-makers.
Ye Jian's position is that he is not a member of Yu An's team, so he will not have any objections as long as his own interests and safety are not harmed.
Xu Nanwei has always been very obedient. Although she was unwilling to be separated from her sisters Miaomiao and An'an, she knew that her sisters must have their own reasons for making such arrangements. She was an obedient child and could not cause trouble at this time.
So she nodded, pouting and remaining silent.
Yu Miaomiao, Lu An, and He Liang then entered the Shadow Cloak, bypassing the weapons factory's patrols and passing through the walls to enter the factory.
Ye Jian, K, and Xu Nanwei followed instructions and parked the Doomsday Fortress not far from the weapons factory gate. The weapons factory's patrol immediately noticed the situation.
"What's the situation over there?"
"It looks like a motorhome. This is the first time I've ever seen such a luxurious motorhome. I guess it's some rich kid from some base showing off. Let's wait and see. If they don't make a move, we don't need to cause trouble for ourselves."
Ye Jian turned on the car's entertainment system and played relaxing music, trying to create a leisurely and carefree illusion. K sat in the driver's seat. He didn't need to rest; sitting here, he could observe the surroundings and start the vehicle to leave at any time if danger arose.
Xu Nanwei was responsible for occasionally pulling back the curtains to eat and drink, showcasing the seemingly carefree life inside the car.
Meanwhile, Yu Miaomiao and her group had successfully entered the weapons factory.
Navigating the dimly lit corridors and the intricate factory layout, their first priority was to pinpoint the locations of Ji Feng and Ji Mu.
However, during his journey, he saw a man in the passageway of the weapons factory who should have disappeared with the underground city.
"Ni Chongyang?" How come he's still alive, and now he's chatting happily with He Qing and the others?
Yu Miaomiao realized she had underestimated this person. Not only was he not dead, but he was now swaggering into the weapons factory. "If he can appear in the weapons factory, then Ji Feng and Ji Mu are probably in danger."
Lu An also tensed up, clenching her fists tightly to suppress her emotions; she needed to calm down.
Yu Miaomiao quickly began to calculate in her mind. Ni Chongyang's appearance was definitely not because they had actually broken into the supply warehouse that even guns and cannons couldn't blast open, which meant that Ni Chongyang must have a backup plan.
A backup plan that would ensure his departure from the supply depot.
However, Yu Miaomiao had also personally witnessed Ni Chongyang's superpower, the Vajra Claw, a seemingly ferocious superpower that actually severely tests the superpower user's physical coordination and strength.
Given Ni Chongyang's age and physical strength, the Vajra Claw was merely a skill for self-defense; there was absolutely no possibility of him escaping the supply depot using this ability.
It seems that Ni Chongyang has a master by his side, a skill comparable to Shadow Cloak, a skill that can take them away from the supply depot.
Yu Miaomiao regretted not killing these people directly back then, as it had now caused considerable trouble for her future plans.
"It seems we need to change our strategy," she said softly. "Ji Feng's location is uncertain, but Ji Mu shouldn't be too important to them, so let's quietly go to Ji Mu's room to check things out first."
"Okay." Lu An gave He Liang directions, and the group quickly sneaked into Ji Mu's room without the guards at the door noticing.
However, before entering, the group had carefully observed the room. The guards checked the room every half hour to ensure that Ji Mu had not escaped.
In the dimly lit room, Ji Mu's neck was chained with a long iron chain, and his eyes were covered by a black blindfold. The blindfold was worn very tightly, and its purpose was obvious: to prevent Ji Mu from having any chance to see the light and to prevent him from seeing anyone.
Ji Mu's ability requires him to see the other person's appearance to activate, even if it's just a glimpse from afar, but it's difficult for it to take effect if he can't see them at all.
It seems these people know Ji Mu very well, which is why they devised such a special method of imprisonment for him.
This also put Yu Miaomiao in a dilemma. If she brought Ji Mu into the space, the iron chain would inevitably break. However, she could not act rashly without being able to guarantee that she could rescue both Ji Mu and Ji Feng at the same time.
"Xiao Mu, it's us. If you hear our voices, nod and don't make a sound."
When Ji Mu heard the familiar voice, his body jolted. Although his eyes were covered, the familiar voice gave him a sense of hope.
He nodded immediately, the chains making a dull thud as they pulled on his neck. He tried to slow his nod as much as possible to avoid arousing suspicion.
"The situation is more complicated than we anticipated. We don't know how your brother is doing or where he is. I need your imagination to guide us."
"But I can't see you. If I could see you, I could use illusions to show you the way." Ji Mu was also very anxious. He was imprisoned here, and his brother's fate was unknown.
He could roughly guess that if his brother were still alive, he would most likely be imprisoned there by He Qing. He had seen He Qing imprison a very handsome man there before.
At the time, He Qing said that the person was sick and needed to rest, so he was staying here temporarily.
But not long after, the man died and they secretly took him away and buried him. Ji Mu couldn't sleep that night, so he went to play with his brother and accidentally saw it.
"It's simple, we'll find a way to quietly loosen your blindfold a little."
He Liang reached out from the shadows and gently loosened the clasp of the blindfold. Through the gap, Ji Mu finally saw Yu Miaomiao standing close to the wall in a blind spot.
Yu Miaomiao gestured for him to be quiet, then signaled to him, "Let's begin, use illusions on me."
A first-person route map immediately appeared in Yu Miaomiao's mind, with a small dot moving along the way, guiding her to a secluded room deep underground.
It seems highly likely that Ji Feng is currently being held here.
