618: Chapter 618: China Base Lost Contact

“Alright! Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Te Chars, the King of the Egula Democratic Republic.”

“Hello!”

“Pleasure to meet you!”

The two nodded and greeted each other.

“This is the High Priest of the Maya United Empire. My apologies, I don’t yet know your name,” Oriental Chen asked.

“Just call me High Priest,” the Maya High Priest replied.

“Alright. Let me introduce you two, this is Elder Qin, a venerable elder of Huaguo,” Oriental Chen said.

He wasn't clear about Elder Qin's identity and didn't want to inquire, so he could only refer to him as an elder.

“Hello, everyone,” Elder Qin said.

“Alright, now that everyone is here, I will give an introduction and summary of the current situation in Mordo,” Oriental Chen said.

At this point, he wasn't sure if everyone was on the same page, so a detailed explanation was necessary.

“From what we currently understand, Mordo has 108 Elder Halls, located at the positions marked on the map.”

“These Elder Halls are scattered in every corner of Mordo, which I had not anticipated before.”

“Mordo's main cult is very likely located at the Huaguo military outpost: Kulake. However, as of now, their altar has not yet been found.”

“You don't need to worry about the India-Pakistan side; I have already contacted them. Their goal is to attack Okshung and they will not attack us.”

“It is now 8:40, and there are still over three hours until the sacrificial ceremony. I believe the possibility of finding the altar is small.”

“There is a special situation currently. Although these 108 Elder Halls have been destroyed, there are still vital signs nearby. My deduction is that high-ranking individuals from the Elder Hall might be lurking in these places.”

“Then what is the purpose of their lurking?” Elder Qin asked.

“Not entirely clear, but it’s very likely they are waiting for the sacrificial ceremony to begin,” Oriental Chen replied.

“Should we act preemptively and eliminate them?” Te Chars asked.

“No need, let them be. Let's figure out the purpose of their lurking before making a decision,” Oriental Chen waved his hand.

“High-ranking individuals from the Elder Hall are very likely Fourth-Order Mutants. Their combat power is extremely strong, and without prior precautions, there might be an accident,” the Maya High Priest said.

“Don’t worry, I have already taken precautions,” Oriental Chen replied.

The Maya High Priest nodded and said no more.

“Elder Qin, you need to station the tank groups from the two Military Regions in the north and south of the city, respectively. Try to gather them together and do not move them randomly. I will set up two protective shields in those two places to prevent any accidents,” Oriental Chen said.

“Understood,” Elder Qin nodded.

Baili Ji watched from the side, saying nothing.

He felt choked and awkward; as a dignified Speaker of the Council, he now had no right to speak.

However, with Elder Qin presiding here, he naturally had no chance to speak.

As everyone anxiously waited, the time came to 11:00.

Mordo showed no movement, and the elders lurking there also made no move.

However, something else happened in Huaguo.

“Commander, there’s an anomaly at Binjiang Base.”

“What anomaly?” Oriental Chen’s heart skipped a beat.

“The Mercenary Guild headquarters base station signal is interrupted, and Binjiang Base has lost contact,” Xiao Lin replied.

“What about our Main Base?” Oriental Chen asked.

The Binjiang Main Base was connected to the Huatong Chamber of Commerce and Mercenary Guild bases via underground tunnels, but it had always been relatively independent.

Furthermore, after Oriental Chen moved everyone to the Ulan Neutral Zone, he did not open access to the Binjiang Main Base.

This meant that, until now, no one in the Huatong Chamber of Commerce or the Mercenary Guild knew about the existence of this Main Base.

“The Main Base has also lost contact,” Xiao Lin replied.

“Xiao Chen, has something happened?” Elder Qin saw Oriental Chen’s expression become unnatural.

“Immediately order the Batuo City Main Base, Wulan Gumu Military Base, Lop Nur Underground Transfer Base, and Kyoto Council Main Base to immediately activate emergency trusteeship plans.”

“Understood, Commander.”

“Immediately order all Bee Queens in Huaguo's bases to deploy nano-robots for strict protection of the signal towers.”

“Understood, Commander.”

Oriental Chen had a premonition that Gu Qingyi might be behind this.

At this critical juncture, those who needed to act were finally making their move.

“Commander, 20% of underground bases within Huaguo have lost contact.”

Oriental Chen hadn't even had time to speak.

“50%, 80%, 90%...”

Xiao Lin kept reporting, and the final percentage of lost bases reached a terrifying 98.97%.

Except for the newly activated Kyoto Central Base, the unmanned Lop Nur Transfer Base, and the Mosang Ark Base where the Southeast Military Region and Northeast Military Region were temporarily stationed, all other 286 underground bases lost contact.

It seemed that Gu Qingyi was truly a ruthless person. She either didn't act, or when she did, it was a trump card.
