Chapter 503: Mysterious Base (1)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Twilight City, West District.

Before dawn, the garrison stationed in the western district of Twilight City quickly mobilized and gathered towards the area where the owner of the fog had landed.

After detecting the abnormal energy fluctuations in the sky, Twilight City reacted extremely quickly.

This vigilance had a lot to do with the history of Twilight City.

The inhabitants were generally descendants of scavengers.

The group of residents who built Twilight City in the early days had experienced the fear of disaster.

While the contemporary residents of Twilight City hadn’t personally endured the despair, whether it be through the accounts in books or the narratives passed down by the older generation, they recognized that there was always a looming crisis and that peace was elusive.

There were many photos taken during the disaster in the memorial hall in Twilight City, as well as interviews and video recordings of the older generation.

Therefore, the sense of danger had always filled the hearts of every resident of Twilight City.

They were afraid that one day, a domain field would suddenly descend on Twilight City and bring upon them a calamity.

The heightened sense of crisis led to Twilight City’s construction giving little consideration to the city’s aesthetics.

Everything was built from the perspective of dealing with the crisis.

This was also the main reason why Twilight City was filled with war fortresses and small-scale ground shelters.

It was the same for the deployment of the city defense army.

There were several troops stationed in the north, south, east, and west districts of the city to deal with emergencies.

Every year, there would be an emergency drill.

Armies were required to arrive in any area under their jurisdiction within 10 minutes for urgent missions.

In addition, Twilight City had an entirely different characteristic from other cities.

Almost everyone in the city was a soldier.

All residents of Twilight City who had reached the age of 16, regardless of gender, had to enter the military for a year of training.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the defense of Twilight City was akin to an ironclad bucket.

Any domain creature that were to infiltrate Twilight City would have to face layers of checkpoints. Even if they entered the city, they would be quickly dealt with if they acted rashly.

As for the air defense system of Twilight City, it was specially built by the Science and Technology Research Institute.

There were 18 air-to-air energy detection radars in the city.

The signal covered the entire sky of Twilight City.

As soon as a domain creature appeared, it would inherently possess stored Spiritual Qi in its body.

If an abnormal energy fluctuation appeared in the sky above Twilight City, it would be detected immediately. The headquarters would mobilize the stationed troops in the area where the energy fluctuation was located to investigate and deal with it.

Twilight City’s defense against domain transcendent creatures was almost impenetrable.

But there were exceptions.

At least in the face of a domain creature with absolute strength, the reputation of Twilight City’s steel fortress was rendered ineffective.

At this moment, the owner of the fog had transformed into a gray fog and was curled up in a pitch-black alley.

In its perception range, countless blood-colored light spots were moving quickly in his area to investigate.

After activating its perception, it discovered that the leaders of each team were holding something similar to a disc.

This equipment seemed to have the effect of detecting energy fluctuations.

With this equipment, these members of the military team were approaching the dark alley where he was hiding.

The owner of the fog did not care about these soldiers at all.

During the time it had controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute, its strength had improved rapidly. It was not difficult for it to kill these military soldiers.

But the most important aspect in his operation was secrecy.

If it attacked rashly, it felt that it would affect its subsequent plans.

Thinking of this, it decisively restrained its aura.

It suppressed the surging blood essence energy aura in its body.

Just as it had anticipated, after it subdued the energy fluctuations, the military team that had come for the search lost their target. They decelerated and commenced inspecting the equipment in their hands.

Seeing this, the owner of the fog knew that it couldn’t stay here for long.

The energy signal had been blocked, but its current position had been exposed.

At this moment, it turned to look at the sewer entrance at the end of the alley.

Without hesitation, it immediately floated above the sewer entrance and snuck in.

When the military personnel of Twilight City came to investigate, the owner of the fog was already gone.

At this moment, the owner of the fog, who had entered the sewer, was shuttling through the pipes. There was an unpleasant smell all around.

Even after the calamity, rats were still found in the sewers of every city.

The pitch-black environment did not affect the owner of the fog’s perception and vision.

It decided to leave the western district through the sewers before heading to the surface.

Before it came, it had read a lot of information about Twilight City.

It knew the coordinates of every research institute in Twilight City. The sub-base of the Scarlet Research Institute was No. 1201 in the east side of Twilight City.

However, its target this time was not the sub-base.

It knew that the Twilight Wolf Combat Team would come into contact with the Scarlet Research Institute during the mission.

As long as it waited, it would be able to find traces of the Twilight Wolf Combat Team.

Then, it would secretly look for an opportunity to strike.

Thinking about the follow-up plan, the owner of the fog floated towards the east of the city along the sewer tunnel.

10 minutes later, it suddenly sensed energy fluctuations ahead.

This aroused its curiosity.

It couldn’t help but guess that it might be a secret laboratory built by the military in Twilight City.

After perusing a wealth of information about Twilight City, it concluded that, given the military’s approach to problem-solving, accomplishing this was entirely feasible..
