From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 701 Perfect Infiltration

"I see. I understand everything now."

"Mr. Amuro, what did you say?" Hearing Amber's somewhat puzzling words, Qilin Jindoshi asked with some confusion.

"Nothing, I just said it was nice to meet you."

Amber patted Qilin Jindoshi's shoulder with a smile, then took him and caught up with the team.

If I had to use one sentence to describe Amber's inner thoughts at the moment, it would be - 'It's complete, it's completely complete.'

The previous doubts in her heart have been basically resolved. Amber finally understood why the Jindoshi family had been waiting for her for hundreds of years in the imperial city. Now it seems that this is actually a closed loop for her time travel.

It is likely that I explained something to Qilin Jindoshi during tonight's operation, which made this architectural genius leave such ancestral teachings to his descendants. And the ID number of my previous life that the other family holds is obviously something that only I can tell.
"I am such a genius that I can think of such a method. Is this some kind of self-coordination across time and space?"

These thoughts flashed through Amber's mind. He was amazed at the strange experiences brought about by the time paradox. This reminded him of the many movies and games related to time travel that he had watched and played before. At the same time, he once again marveled at the power of the Forerunner civilization.

The other party obviously has extremely high attainments in time control, and has even carried out a "time and space expedition", a huge project that sounds incredible. But if, as Saleh suggested, the humans and elves of this universe may have to face this powerful enemy again in the future, how should they deal with it?

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. With Saleh as our 'spy', we should be able to find some solutions. Let's just focus on the task at hand."

Amber shook her head slightly, collected her scattered thoughts, and began to observe her surroundings.

This engineering team, consisting of 50 people including herself, has followed the high priest and the royal silencer into the interior of the Grand Palace under the surveillance of the fully armed imperial guards. Judging from the magnificent palace in the direction of advance, Amber guessed that the team's destination was most likely the core area of ​​the Grand Palace.

"It's so easy to get. Is there a more perfect way to sneak in than this?"

As Amber continued to follow the team deeper into the Grand Palace, she sighed at how smooth the trip was, but this sigh did not last long because Amber suddenly inexplicably remembered the laborers who built the imperial mausoleum or secret facilities in history. Did they also go deep into some important areas under the surveillance of the Imperial Guards or the Xiaoling Guards?
Then after the work was finished, they were all buried alive inside.

"Fuck, judging from the nature of the Star Dragon Empire's royal family, this is not impossible."

Amber suddenly became alert. After all, according to Saleh, the royal family of the Star Dragon Empire were no longer pure humans. If they considered themselves superior, they would most likely not regard the employees of the Engineering Department as human beings.

Because if you want to keep a secret, obviously the dead are the most suitable.

Thinking of this, Amber looked at the team in front of him again. He could clearly feel the excitement of the people in the team. It was obvious that everyone was still yearning to go to the Grand Palace to work and regarded it as an honor.

No one would have thought that they might be buried here forever.
As the team approached the Grand Palace and finally came to a special side door on the side of the main hall, the high priest signaled everyone to stop, then turned around and said to everyone:
"Dear lucky citizens of the empire, due to a series of reactions caused by the collapse of the west wing's retaining wall, you will be required to enter an important facility of the empire today to carry out inspection and maintenance work. This will also be the greatest honor of your life." Hearing the words of the high priest, everyone's faces suddenly showed an excited look, and they all felt that the day to 'bring honor to the family' might be today.

Amber also showed an excited expression, and his expression was not completely fake, but contained "real feelings" because according to the description of the high priest, he guessed that his group would most likely enter the underground area of ​​the Grand Palace.

On the other side, the high priest signaled everyone to be quiet and continued:
"Now, set your personal terminals to offline mode. Once you enter this important facility, you will lose contact with the outside world due to the existence of the shielding force field. But don't worry. This is just for the confidentiality of this facility."

The high priest swept his kind eyes over the crowd. Amber had to admit that as a senior clergyman of the Empire's state religion, he was quite friendly. His calm tone and holy white robe made him look like a very standard clergyman.

"You don't need to worry about safety, because the place you are about to enter is the heart of the empire. In every sense, it is the safest place in the entire empire. So you just need to concentrate on doing the assigned work at hand, don't look around, and don't have unnecessary curiosity. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir!" everyone answered in unison.

"Very good, follow me~"

The high priest nodded with satisfaction, then took the lead and walked towards the side door. Amber also obediently followed the team towards the door, while thinking about when to leave the team and start doing her own work.

The original plan for this operation was to sneak into the underground area inside the Grand Palace on the current timeline, and then return to the original timeline through the "Tactical Time Travel Device MK1" to achieve the purpose of infiltration without alerting the guards.

But now it seems that while I am "working", I also have to pay attention to the safety of this "new friend" in front of me.

Amber felt that there must be a connection between her and Qilin Jindoshi, and according to the records on the original timeline, the other party died of old age after becoming famous. If something unexpected happened in the Grand Palace today, Amber was very worried that the time paradox problem that Saleh had mentioned would occur.
“We can only take one step at a time.”

Soon, Amber and the others arrived at the side area inside the main hall of the Grand Palace, where there was a heavy transport elevator guarded by a large number of imperial guards. From the structural point of view, it was obviously a tool for transportation underground.

This kind of heavy transport elevator might also be used to transport materials and large equipment on a daily basis, so its entire size is very large. It is not enough for Amber's team of 50 people to stand on it, and it doesn't take up much space at all.

The imperial guards who had been accompanying them all the way also stopped here, and only the high priest and the Royal Silencer continued to follow. Obviously, in the eyes of the guards inside the Grand Palace, for the Royal Silencer, who was a fifth-level psychic, it was as easy as child's play for him to control these 50 civil engineers.

It also means that the confidentiality level of the Grand Palace's underground facilities has exceeded the level that the Imperial Guards can interfere with.

This also made Amber more certain that under normal circumstances, 50% of the "lucky" civil engineering guys who were selected would not be able to come out.
