Chapter 617 Inside the base
There seems to be no one at this base.

This was the only part that Yang Xingguo could understand.

Logically speaking, if there's no one in the base, Yue Qihua and Yang Xingyue are most likely not here either.

Since they are experimental subjects, there must be experimental personnel involved, right?

But Yang Xingguo felt that he couldn't put his mind at ease without going in and taking a look himself.

Moreover, Yue Yangyan's department is clearly researching some kind of supernatural power.

Perhaps it was because the experiment went wrong that the base was sealed off?
With this in mind, Yang Xingguo kept ordering the mechanical voice to start the elevator.

"Instruction received. Please confirm permissions."

A jet-black metal plate popped out from under the control panel.

Yang Xingguo recalled what Yue Chongshan had told him, mobilized the power of the black bead, and, as a last resort, placed his hand on it.

"...Secondary access authentication successful. Welcome, Assistant."

Yang Xingguo was unclear about what level of so-called secondary access was.

Judging from the word "assistant," his position can't be very high.

Fortunately, this permission allowed him to activate the elevator and enter the base, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

Yang Xingguo, who was inside the elevator, could clearly feel the elevator sinking.

But a minute passed, then two minutes, and the elevator continued to run without any sign of stopping.

Just how deep is this base?
Yang Xingguo couldn't help but feel worried.

The atoll is not very large, and based on the elevator's operating time, the base is very likely located deep underwater.

Built so deep in the ground, what if a sudden battle breaks out and someone uses their telekinesis to breach parts of the base? Wouldn't that mean certain death?

Yang Xingguo's concerns were not unfounded.

Before arriving in this area by cruise ship, he had tested the destructive power of his telekinesis in Nanyang City.

This power doesn't require personal control or activation; simply thinking of the word "cut" is enough to instantly slice a solid steel ball into pieces, demonstrating its exceptional sharpness.

If used against people, it would shred even a tank, let alone someone wearing a bulletproof vest.

Time ticked by, and just as Yang Xingguo began to consider whether to break through the elevator floor and land quickly, the elevator's downward momentum finally slowed down.

With a buzzing sound, Yang Xingguo stepped out of the elevator with trepidation, but the scene before him completely stunned the well-traveled man.

Yang Xingguo had visited many military bases during his previous training sessions.

Those places that seem incredibly mysterious to outsiders, once their mystique is stripped away, are not much different from other ordinary factories and docks in general.

It just had some unusual military equipment and weapons.

What about this base in front of us?

Yang Xingguo didn't know how to describe what he was seeing. If he had to give an example, he felt like a native of a planet who had accidentally wandered into an alien spaceship.

Outside the elevator was not the narrow, dark corridor one might imagine, but a large hall that appeared to be one or two thousand square meters in size, with a height equivalent to twenty or thirty stories.

In the center of the hall stood rows of terminal-like display stands and incomprehensible technological devices.

In the dim environment, these terminals reflected streaks of black light from the light emanating from the elevator.

Above his head hung a round metal sphere, ten meters in diameter, with a faint blue luster. As Yang Xingguo stepped out of the elevator, the sphere emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the entire hall.

Yang Xingguo turned his head to observe the environment. Just as the terminal on the elevator said, the interior of the base did not look like it was inhabited.

He went to a terminal, placed his palm on the black metal plate on the side, similar to the one on an elevator terminal, and tried to open the terminal like starting an elevator to see if he could get some useful information.

At the very least, we need to know the structural diagram of the base; otherwise, where are we going to find a laboratory?

Surprisingly, this so-called assistant permission worked unexpectedly well, easily opening the terminal.

However, before Yang Xingguo could even feel happy, reality threw cold water on him.

The screen was blank; there was nothing on it.

Yang Xingguo thought it was a problem with his operation, so he tried voice, handwriting and thought control, but the terminal in front of him did not respond at all.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Yang Xingguo shook his head: "Forget it, let's go look around elsewhere first. Even if these people are stupid, they won't leave important information in a place they can get as soon as they enter the base."

After retracting your palm to revoke authorization, the terminal screen automatically turns off.

Yang Xingguo walked toward the giant metal door that echoed the elevator.

Looking at the giant metal gate, which was seven or eight meters high, Yang Xingguo became even more puzzled about the base.

Normally, such large metal doors are placed in warehouses, but this underwater base has installed giant metal doors in an area that resembles an office area.

Could it be that giants five or six meters tall live here?

Yang Xingguo was unaware of the existence of the supernatural, so naturally he couldn't figure out the specific function of these things.

The doors in this eerie base are not just for easy entry and exit.

Having gained experience in starting elevators and terminals, Yang Xingguo skillfully placed his palm on the black metal plate next to the door.

With a heavy clicking sound, the giant metal door opened.

Yang Xingguo thought that the outside should finally be a corridor, but reality slapped him in the face once again.

Yang Xingguo walked out of the hall and arrived at a giant tunnel.

Please note that this is a giant tunnel, not a typical tunnel through a mountain.

A typical, spacious tunnel with four lanes is already considered quite good, but the tunnel in front of Yang Xingguo could easily accommodate eight heavy trucks driving side by side.

Like the main hall, the tunnel is a pure metal structure with no concrete visible.

Every few meters on the ground, there is something that looks like a ditch cover, and buried under the cover are cables that are thicker than a thigh.

The more Yang Xingguo looked, the more he felt like he had entered some alien spaceship that had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Was this technology something that humanity could develop at this stage?

On land, it's fine, but this is the seabed!

Putting aside the cost of money, manpower, and resources to build such a base on the seabed, how many years would it take to transport it down one trip after another?
With a thought, Yang Xingguo sent an invisible blade of thought piercing the metal wall. The mental force that cut through the steel like paper left only a small pit less than two centimeters deep on the wall.

"What kind of metal is this...?"

Yang Xing's resolve within the country began to waver.

Before entering the base, he was prepared to show mercy to any humans he encountered.

But the small pit in front of you seemed to mock you: Show mercy? It's not certain you can even break through their defenses!

If this unknown metal used to build the base can withstand attacks from psychic powers, then are there even more advanced creations for protection?

Yang Xingguo dared not think about it; the empty base at this moment gave him a little psychological comfort.

At least for now, we don't need to worry about combat.
