The plunder of the heavens begins with the Spirit Cage.

Since he wouldn't say, he didn't press the matter further.

"May I ask what brings you here, sir? We don't have anything of value here."

"There's really nothing of value, but there are some valuable research items."

As Lu Qianwei said this, Xie En quickly turned his gaze to DeMarcus.

DeMarcus's mood plummeted, and his face turned extremely pale.

Another one coming for an egg. He really didn't dare to think about what Feno and the Sisters would do to him if he lost the egg.

But when faced with a group of burly men, he had no chance to resist at all.

"Sir, these eggs are a tool used by a group of cult lunatics in the mountains to control the starting beasts."

They engaged in cruel sacrifices, feeding humans to the Kaiju in many areas of the restricted zone.

In order to survive, DeMarcus had no choice but to rack his brains to drag his opponent into the mess.

Lu Qianwei nodded slightly and closed the box containing the monster egg again.

"We'll deal with those inhuman, ghostly things you mentioned in a bit."

The sisters' ability to control monsters suggests they possess some technical skills.

They are all excellent research materials.

The multi-faceted alliance has long since mastered the technologies of the four major civilizations of Ling Cage by utilizing Cybertron's knowledge from top to bottom, but has encountered some technological bottlenecks.

The unique biological technologies and wormhole methods of the early civilizations are all worthy of study.

Scholars in the consortium now mostly need to draw upon analysis to generate new inspiration or insights.

This is what is meant by learning from each other's strengths to make up for each other's weaknesses.

Lu Qianwei approached Taylor and her brother and sister and looked them over.

Although the child is a bit naive and silly, he is still a protagonist template. If we take him under our wing and train him, he can become an elite.

"I know where your mother is. Would you like me to take you to see her?"

"real?!"

"Our parents are still alive?" Hailey and her brother immediately showed joy, but quickly became wary.

Lu Qianwei couldn't help but smile; their expressions betrayed their true thoughts too easily.

"Of course, your father is currently serving the military at the Sydney base."

Upon hearing this, the two could not hide their joy for a moment, but in no time, that elation was replaced by deep resentment and anger.

"They're still alive! Why don't they come looking for us?!" Hailey's nose stung with tears as she complained, her heart heavy with resentment.

Lu Qianwei could only shrug at this, "If you're willing, you can ask your father later."

"As for your mother, she is currently being controlled by the Sisters Gang."

"Mom, what's going on? I have to save her!"

The brother and sister were excited, but after Lu Qianwei made assurances and reassurances, they finally relaxed.

The two were successfully taken away, and the white-haired boy cooperated by boarding the spaceship.

Back beside their leader, Xie En, Lu Qianwei kindly inquired, "Would you like us to take you away from the Australian continent?"

“Thank you, but it’s not necessary. This is our home.” Shane refused almost without hesitation.

For him, things weren't much better outside either.

Besides, once they leave the Australian continent, which country would take them in?

The appearance of the spaceship also made him realize that the outside world was undergoing great changes.

It might be better to just stay in Australia and wait; perhaps a turning point will come.

"Can I know what's happening outside right now?"

Australia is almost completely isolated from information, so Shane is still unaware of what is happening outside.

Lu Qianwei appreciated this middle-aged man who had some ambitions and gave him a terminal that could connect to the external network.

Whether he can understand the Chinese or not is none of his business.

"Oh, by the way, there are these two siblings piloting third-generation mechs near Meridian City."

It's out of power and broken down now, but you can take it if you're interested.

Having acquired the cult stronghold where the Sisters Gang was based, Lu Qianwei led his team back onto the spaceship.

Chapter 190 Sweeping Them All in One Wrap

The area surrounding Clayton City is a deep, narrow, giant canyon landscape.

The cliffs are rugged and steep, with monster lairs scattered in the crevices, and bioluminescent vegetation with a ghostly glow growing everywhere.

This place is perpetually inhabited and surrounded by Kaiju beasts, making it a dangerous and secluded place rarely visited by humans.

But it is also the core stronghold that the sisters use to cover up and hide.

Deep within the canyon, where the terrain suddenly drops, a group of women dressed in red robes and wearing white masks silently walk into a man-made cave.

As they ventured deeper underground, the passage suddenly opened up at its end.

A giant altar hidden deep within an underground mountain came into view.

The altar was carved from a single, massive, dark rock and is in an irregular circle.

It is over ten meters in diameter, with a rough and mottled stone surface, covered with twisted and bizarre monster totems and pioneering script.

And dried, dark brown stains that exuded a faint, rotten smell.

Eight stone pillars, each about half a person's height, stand around the altar.

The top of the stone pillar was inlaid with a monster crystal that emitted a pale blue glow, enveloping the entire altar area in a cold and eerie halo.

The ground around was littered with broken animal bones and tattered sacrificial banners. The wind howled through the crevices of the canyon, making the place even more eerie.

Right in the center, there was a raised black stone platform.

The members of the Sisterhood stood scattered around the altar, all dressed in red and black robes, their expressions solemn and their eyes fervent, completely surrounding the altar.

As the last member returned to their place, the leader of the Sisterhood slowly stepped out from the front of the crowd.

She was tall and thin, her whole body was deathly pale, and she had no hair on her head. The fine cracks on her skin and her bluish-gray arms indicated that she was not human.

His entire face was covered by a white mask, revealing only a dark, lifeless eye filled with fanaticism.

The high priest stood before the black stone platform in the center of the altar, raising his bone scepter high, chanting obscure and incomprehensible sacrificial incantations that sounded like the roar of a beast.

The group of sisters below the altar bowed their heads, clasped their hands together in front of their chests, and echoed softly, their voices rising and falling, reverberating throughout the empty canyon.

They are holding a grand sacrificial and prayer ceremony, believing that the Kaiju is a god sent from heaven.

They attempted to gain protection through sacrifice, obtain the power to control the Kaiju, and completely take control of the entire Black Forbidden Zone.

Indeed, this is the case; the pioneering civilizations last attempted to drive humanity to nearly overthrow their own civilization.

They then chose to try to recruit a group of traitors on Earth.

The items at the center of the Sisterhood altar are the techniques used by the Pioneers to communicate commands through synesthetic connections and to manipulate Kaiju knowledge.

Above the spaceship, through the perspective of the spy spider, Lu Qianwei saw on the big screen the inhuman, ghostly leader of the Sisterhood touching the Black Stone Platform, receiving instructions from the Pioneer Civilization.

"Sir."

"Based on the scanning feedback from the spiders, all the passages, secret passages, entrances and exits, and internal layout of the cave have been modeled and mapped, with no blind spots or hidden corners overlooked."

The technician standing nearby spoke as he opened the data model he had obtained.

The holographic projection in the center of the command room suddenly lit up, and a high-precision three-dimensional sand table slowly appeared.

The entire underground mountain, winding passages, hidden side paths, the location of the altar, and even all entrances and exits are completely outlined with light and shadow models. Every path, every dead corner, and every ventilation tunnel is clearly marked.

The staff officer looked up at Lu Qianwei and said with certainty, "We have a clear understanding of the terrain, defenses, and personnel positions. Now we can close the net."

Lu Qianwei nodded. "Pass this information on to the Black Fang unit, and then we can take action."

"Kill as many level 1 monsters as possible inside, but make sure to capture them all alive."

"Yes!"

The orders from the command center transformed into invisible radio waves, penetrating the thick rock layers and reaching the Black Edge troops who had been hiding and waiting in the canyon.

"Sweep away the strongholds, eliminate the deadly threat, and capture all cult members alive."

Prioritize ensuring the safety of the target item (Central Blackrock Mountain).

A cold, synthesized electronic voice rang out from inside the armored helmets of every soldier.

Meanwhile, a high-precision 3D cave model was clearly projected into the channels they had simultaneously established.

Each red dot represents a heat source signal, as well as a small Kaiju lurking in the corner, emitting different heat radiation.

"action."

At Wang Lei's command, everyone silently glided along, with only the deep hum of the engine and the slight hiss of the hydraulic system.

Several elite teams, like flowing water in the darkness, simultaneously infiltrated through multiple AI-calculated and marked natural fissures, narrow ventilation shafts, and a cleverly disguised ancient mine entrance.

The power armor's sensors outlined clear silhouettes in absolute darkness. The soldiers moved swiftly, but also avoided the fluorescent fungi and drooping vines on the rock face, guided by the system's prompts.

For a country with biotechnology capabilities, it's never too much to be cautious.

But no matter how careful they were, the slight, muffled thud of the power armor and the aura that was different from that of the cave were still detected by several gutted beasts that were lurking nearby and trying to open the door.

"Passage A3, two small Kaiju, two humanoid targets!"

"Passage B1, stone gate guard, four humanoid targets!"

"Clear! Force a breach." Wang Lei decisively gave the order.

With that equipment, they knew it would be difficult to successfully infiltrate.

"Puff puff!"

In the A3 passage, the two guillotines, which had just sensed the unfamiliar presence and were about to attack, were mercilessly pierced through their relatively vulnerable heads and throats by several laser guns before they could even fully emerge from the shadows.
