“Strange,” said You Mingyu, sitting in the commander module. His brows knitted together as he stared at the report before him, as if searching for an answer.

Beside him, Feng Yeming and Feng Yunlu were fully engrossed in their games and tapped away on their keyboards. However, without an internet connection, they could only play against the computer.

You Mingyu looked at Feng Yeming and said, “Can you please stop playing? The clicking sound is annoying.”

“I’m practicing cultivation,” said Feng Yeming with full confidence.

Indeed, he was right. You Mingyu asked, “Do you want to materialize other skills? The current ones are powerful enough, aren’t they?”

“I developed those skills to fight with Feng Yunlu. Of course I need new ones now,” Feng Yeming replied, “I need to find more effective AOE strategies.”

Chen Zuan was stunned. “To fight with Feng Yunlu? For example shouting Demacia ¹ together? Save me, please.”

You Mingyu was hesitant. “But you’ve got to test it before putting it into real combat, right? How about an experiment on me?”

“It’s fine. Feng Yunlu and I have always experimented on each other. We don’t need another trial…” Feng Yeming said with a slight judging look on his face. Then, he diverted the topic and asked, “By the way, you haven’t explained yet. What happened?”

“Oh, right. According to the intelligence report, six Class B experts from the Department of Faith Theory suddenly left the military base.”

“Are they coming for us?” Chen Zuan asked with an excited grin. “How about we kill them all?”

At this moment, Chen Zuan was font of opportunities to showcase his power after the grand battle earlier.

Lu Xiaoyu let out a cold laugh at Chen Zuan, which made him seal his lips at once. For some reason, it was hard for Chen Zuan’s ego to get inflated in Lu Xiaoyu’s and Lu Shu’s presence…

“I hope that’s the case. Yet, the thing is, they are heading to the east!” said You Mingyu, “Furthermore, six of them left in one go. Something big must be happening.”

“Is it not their logistics base in the east? With so few people at Port Artyom, what could possibly happen now?” Nalan Que asked calmly.

“Do you think there’s a possibility… that their logistics base was destroyed?” You Mingyu said after some hesitation.

“Hey, although there aren’t many people there, they have at least three to four thousand at the base. Who can destroy it?” Li Yixiao said. Then, a smile of pride beamed on his face. “Of course, I can do it!”

“Besides us, who can attack Port Artyom in secret? Could it be a third party?” Nalan Que pointed out.

“There’s one more…” Chen Zuan said, biting his gum.

“Who?” Everyone turned to him in shock.

“Don’t forget Brother Shu. Let me explain. I’m sure there are supplies at the logistics base, right? Based on Brother Shu’s personality, the word ‘logistics’ it self was sufficient to draw him there…”

At that second, an anticipating look emerged on Li Yixiao’s face… In the next instant, however, his face twisted as Nalan Que gave a hard squeeze at his waist.

“If it’s really him…” Chen Zuan said after some consideration, “I suspect that the logistics base is already empty by now!”

“Impossible. He will be noticed before he clears 70% of the stuff there,” Li Yixiao rebutted.

“Why would he not destroy the logistics base directly? Why take the supplies? Isn’t it more convenient to blow it up?” Feng Yeming asked as he raised his head from his computer screen.

“Impossible!”

“Impossible!”

The group denied the suggested scenario unanimously. Chen Zuan explained, “Brother Shu would definitely suffer a heart attack if so many supplies were destroyed…”

“It gives us an advantage if their logistics base is empty,” You Mingyu said with a smile.

In fact, all of them were clearly aware of the drastic difference in the number of people each party had. Excluding the Class A’s, the Heavenly Network was outnumbered by at least three times.

Moreover, all living beings had to eat, and it was impossible to demand the food to be delivered on the day itself even with efficient transport nowadays.

Thus, huge amounts of food had to be consumed each day.

“That’s basically cutting the ground from beneath their feet. The morale among their secret practitioners has remained low, and coupled with the upcoming starvation, they make a useless team. If we exclude the number of their secret practitioners, their total number of effective combat powers was comparable to ours. We do have a chance to win!” said You Mingyu joyfully, “However, it’s too early to celebrate. Our deductions are purely based on the Ninth Heavenly King’s character and the situation may not be as promising.”

At this moment, another report was sent in. “Intelligence report from Port Artyom!”

Everyone was excited to hear the news. Yet, You Mingyu burned the file after he took a long time reading through it. He explained, “Sorry that I can’t let you see the original copy. This is to prevent any deductions of our intelligence agents’ identity.”

“Understandable.” The rest nodded their head in agreement. Special treatment had to be in place during special times, though it was uncomfortable to think that even their own people were kept in the dark regarding certain issues.

However, all of them acknowledged that You Mingyu was the best suitor to handle intelligence as he was able to protect their spy members.

After the report was burned to ashes, You Mingyu said, “Water-type Metahuman, gray sharp threads. Undoubtedly it has to be the ninth Heavenly King. Moreover, he has emptied 17 out of 20 storage rooms of food and material supplies.”

Not only so, he has taken away 31 trucks right under the nose of the Department of Faith Theory. Inside the vehicles, there are 20,000 pieces of simple magical weapons. Although their power is incomparable to that of the Department’s cross swords, they would certainly boost the morale and combat effectiveness of secret practitioners.”

The information silenced the group.

A moment earlier, they were still joking about how much Lu Shu could take from their logistics base. But they had certainly not expected that Lu Shu had really done something so crazy. Moreover, he had robbed 20,000 standard weapons right in their faces…

“There’s one question, though,” said You Mingyu, “According to the report, Lu Shu gave up his chance to escape by the sea. For some reason, he changed his mind and fled towards the forests in the north.”
