Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

After walking for about ten minutes, the view suddenly opened up, and the surrounding barren mountains and wilderness faded away, revealing a huge campsite.

Of course, it's not as exaggerated as the Kunlun Mountain military base. There are only tents for marching here, and you can see many people at a glance... As for Wu Tao's operatives.

"Is holographic technology used here too?" Bai Kang asked, looking at his surroundings.

"Yes, otherwise this place would have been discovered long ago." Silverwing nodded. "In fact, this is only one of our bases; there are three other bases besides this one."

Bai Kang expressed his understanding, saying that the subspace does not belong to real humans; here, they are the outsiders, the "species invasion."

Four bases ensured that even if one of them was discovered, the entire army would not be wiped out.

"By the way, since we came in through the subspace entrance, why doesn't Hafk just block the exit?" Bai Kang suddenly thought of a key point.

Twenty years ago, the arrival of Hafk's Guard in reality indicated that the entrance location had been exposed. In that case, Hafk only needed to send people to keep an eye on the exit and block the spring. Wouldn't humanity be doing all this for nothing?

Silverwing shrugged. "The specific reason for this is unknown, but given the current situation, it's highly likely that the entrance to the real world and the entrance to the subspace are not connected. There are multiple spatial passages in the subspace, and Kunlun Mountain is just the end point of these different passages."

"You mean, there are multiple entrances to the same reality in the subspace? And the Kunlun Mountains are the only exit?"

Silverwing smiled and said, "To be precise, Kunlun Mountain is only the only exit for the Dragon Kingdom. What we can confirm at present is that there are three exits in the whole world. Kunlun Mountain is only one of them. The other two are in the deep sea and deep in the world's largest desert."

"That sounds incredible," Bai Kang murmured.

"Alright, let's go." Silverwing patted his shoulder and led them towards the camp.

Mai Xiaowen and Zoya lagged behind at the back of the group, with the former staring blankly at a certain figure in front of her.

"Wheat," Zoya said hesitantly, "Did Xiao Kangzi upset you? Tell me, and I'll beat him up for you... Oh, actually, Xiao Kangzi is a pretty good guy, not bad looking, and his skills are passable. The key is that he's quite devoted to you. As long as it's not a matter of principle, can you forgive him?"

Mai Xiaowen glanced at Zoya.

This carefree young lady actually pleaded for Bai Kang for the first time ever. The fact that Zoya would do this can only mean one thing: Bai Kang is quite important to her.

After a long silence, Mai Xiaowen spoke in a hoarse voice, "He didn't make me angry, it's just... I was overthinking things."

"I see." Zoya's pained expression eased considerably. She nodded and analyzed the situation logically: "Overthinking? Ah, I know, it must be a nightmare, right? Let me tell you, dreams are always the opposite of reality..."

Listening to her best friend's rambling, Mai Xiaowen's pale face regained some color. At this moment, she really needed Zoya, this little chatterbox, to curb her uncontrollable wild thoughts.

On the other side, Gale crossed his arms and quietly watched Luna, who was in a bad mood, and said calmly, "Since you care about Xiaomai so much, you can comfort her like Zoya did."

Luna shook her head. "Zoya is enough. My presence would only cause trouble."

"Anyone could see that Mai Xiaowen was acting strangely just now. Her pale face and uncontrollable movements were definitely not normal. Are you sure you don't want to go and comfort her?"

Luna shook her head. "Xiaomai has survived the most painful period, I believe she won't be that fragile."

"Hypocritical." Gale curled his lip, glancing at the bee doctor beside him, and asked curiously, "Haki Bee, I'm curious, why do you call Bai Kang 'Master' the moment you see him? What kind of quirk is that?"

The bee doctor scratched his head and honestly said, "I happened to be inside the top-secret 001 space base before, and that's where I met Said, Master... uh, that's when I was forced to call him that."

Gale chuckled and said, "Forced? You seem to know it quite well. Are you sure you were forced?"

The bee doctor blushed. He admitted that he was initially forced to leave, but Said had taken the initiative to let him evacuate and even gave him supplies and weapons. Later, he realized that it wasn't wrong to call him "master."

Ignoring the bee doctor's strange expression, Gale fell into deep thought. "Top Secret Space Base 001, that rumored Central Asian space replica? Mai Xiaowen's disappearance seemed to have occurred at a space base in subspace. Could Mai Xiaowen's outburst just now be related to this?"

It must be said that Gale's thinking is very sharp; in a short time, he has already gotten close to the truth.

She glanced at the boy in front of her, her eyes flickering, "Is it related to him...?"

……

Entering the camp,

Bai Kang discovered that there were many shooting platforms made of cement on the perimeter. Yes, cement, the kind where a bag of cement is worth 60,000 Haff coins.

"There's so much cement."

"Hmm, this cement is extraordinary. Bullets can't penetrate it, and grenades can't knock it down. It's the best cover."

Bai Kang walked up to a pile of cement and lifted it with force. Good heavens, this cement was incredibly heavy; it had already solidified and was extremely dense, almost like a titanium alloy plate. No wonder bullets couldn't penetrate it.

"Silverwing, I'd like to ask, does Crimson also work in warp?"

Crimson has an excellent effect in reality and is used by everyone from the aviation industry to ordinary pigment manufacturers.

Bai Kang wondered whether the red collectibles, which had special effects in reality, would have the same effect in the subspace.

Silverwing nodded. "It works, but here it's generally only industrial and medical items, and a small number of electronic items, that benefit from these collectibles. As for the reason..."

He looked around at the backward environment and said nothing more.

Bai Kang understood. Their main base was in reality, and their development in the subspace was limited. Only those collectibles that could be put to immediate use were useful.

For example, tanks and ventilators.

Collectibles like crafts and furniture aren't useless; the problem is that there's no way to make them useful. Even if we specifically sought out people from the real world, it wouldn't be worth it, because this is a battlefield, and big red items are meaningless unless they're life-saving.

During the conversation, the group had already entered the camp.

Silverwing turned to look at everyone and said, "Everyone, rest at the camp for a while. We'll set off in an hour."

He paused, glanced at Mai Xiaowen, and continued, "Those who are feeling unwell may withdraw from this operation."

Without a doubt, this was said to Mai Xiaowen.

Bai Kang looked at Mai Xiaowen, but the latter did not respond to his gaze from beginning to end.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself,

"What's wrong with Xiaomai again? She was fine before we left, so why is she suddenly avoiding me again?"
