After traveling forward for several kilometers, the wild grass gradually thinned out, replaced by a series of modern buildings that stretched out, shimmering with scattered light spots in the dimness.
Although there were no longer any wild grasses for cover, the surroundings were filled with scattered shipping containers, and a tall tower crane stood atop a towering building, like a giant claw reaching for the sky.
It was clear that this place was not fully completed, and for some reason, work had stopped, or perhaps it hadn't stopped, but simply that work was no longer carried out at night.
In any case, apart from the unfinished main building, swathes of modern architecture had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
"This is likely the base that Nan Ming Group is constructing, but I don't know what these shipping containers are for."
Ren Yuanhao was quite interested in these shipping containers, but it was not the time to alert them. He continued to snake his way through the haphazardly arranged containers and discovered a huge沟壑 (gōuhè - gully) at the forefront of the container layers.
No, Ren Yuanhao looked closely, and as far as his eyes could see, the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully) was extremely wide, so wide that it couldn't even be called a沟壑 (gōuhè - gully), but rather a fault line!
At this moment, the system girl's voice suddenly rang out in Ren Yuanhao's mind.
"Didi, Ren Yuanhao, use your little brain to think, what would be in this huge沟壑 (gōuhè - gully)?"
"Didn't you say that there are various rare metals and mineral deposits scattered here? Beneath the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully), it should clearly be that stuff, but this method of mining seems a bit urgent."
"So?"
"It means they are short on money, what else?"
"I say your IQ isn't low, did you pay it all as tax? Why are they short on money, think about it, okay?"
Ren Yuanhao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized!
"Damn, could it be that Nan Ming Group has massively purchased Mandara Genes? That's why they have a fiscal deficit and have no choice but to do this?"
"It's highly likely, and I don't think Tian Yu would be unaware of this. However, judging by their attitude, they seem to be particularly tolerant. There must be something going on here."
"What else could be going on? It's probably because the mineral deposits and rare metals are being heavily exploited, so they're getting greedy?"
"It's still too early to say. Since we're already here, why not go down and take a look?"
"Sister, I didn't expect you to take risks occasionally."
"That's right, I'm worried that if the Anomaly Nucleus is nearby, and they continue to do this, it will be discovered sooner or later. By then, it won't be easy to sneak in."
Ren Yuanhao nodded, adjusting his internal energy and breathing, but he still couldn't sense the frequency of the seven missing people. He figured they must be hidden somewhere on guard.
"Sister, I need a Stealth Pill."
"As long as you have points, everything is negotiable. See, it's always right to have you do missions, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes, sister has foresight, I, Ren Yuanhao, bow down to you."
Ren Yuanhao grabbed the Stealth Pill and quickly leaped into the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully).
Inside the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully), there were resting facilities such as tents, and one could even sense people's presence. As he went further, the colorful lights flickered and rotated like the blue waves of the sea, which was quite beautiful.
Ren Yuanhao ran at full speed. Although the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully) was huge, its length was ordinary. He soon ran through it but didn't sense any strange frequencies.
"Let's go up first. It's best that we didn't sense anything; this proves we still have time."
"Since the Stealth Pill is still effective, why don't we sneak into their lair to take a look?"
"No need. Don't you already have an idea in your mind? The leader of Nan Ming Group wouldn't stay in a place like this, suffering with his people."
"He's indeed an old fox. He harms his own people with Mandara Genes and then uses a method of blinding the sky and planting false evidence, simultaneously devouring the Anomaly Nucleus and also making the Yu Tian Group bear a bad reputation, making his own people follow him wholeheartedly. Such behavior is simply outrageous."
"But, Yu Tian's actions are also very strange, aren't they?"
"Yes, if I were to say they didn't know the inside story, I wouldn't believe it. But what they're doing is more like wiping the backside of Nan Ming Group's leader, which is too bizarre."
"There must be some unbreakable rule or condition between the two, so the most important thing now is to stockpile strength."
"I guess I know what to do."
Ren Yuanhao leaped up and immediately moved above the沟壑 (gōuhè - gully). Just then, Ren Yuanhao suddenly caught sight of one of the seven superhumans from earlier, sneakily moving towards a shipping container!
"Good opportunity!"
Ren Yuanhao had the Stealth Pill, and with his Drunken Moon Gazing Steps, he wouldn't make any noise at all.
The person was extremely thin, wearing a black mask, with only his eyes visible. Then, he took out a key and carefully opened the shipping container lock. He pulled the door open by a small angle and then squeezed himself inside.
Ren Yuanhao also poked his head inside and was immediately stunned by what he saw!
It was half a box of shimmering golden ore!
If not gold ore, what else could it be?
"Damn, this quantity is too exaggerated."
One could imagine how much Mandara Genes could be exchanged for with this, but the current supply of Mandara Genes was likely in short supply.
Ren Yuanhao smiled involuntarily, and a slight puff of air escaped!
"Who's there?"
Ren Yuanhao was startled. The superhuman's voice was very faint, it was actually a woman.
Knowing the secret of the shipping container, Ren Yuanhao no longer made a sound. The female superhuman was slightly relieved, picked up some small particles of golden ore, went out, and locked it carefully. She then moved stealthily westward.
Ren Yuanhao followed closely. After chasing for about five or six kilometers, the woman quietly slipped into the slum!
"Damn? This vicious woman is not only greedy, but she's also so diligent, going to catch people so late!"
Ren Yuanhao was about to get angry, but he suddenly saw the woman quietly distributing the stolen golden ore to the slum dwellers.
"Did I misunderstand? This woman seems quite kind-hearted!"
However, Ren Yuanhao knew that doing so would definitely harm these people. He immediately turned into a gust of wind and abducted her!
"Who!"
"Who else? I've told you all, you can run away from the monk but not the temple, hehe!"
Ren Yuanhao removed the effect of the Stealth Pill and directly took the female superhuman to a desolate place.
"What do you want?"
"A man and a woman alone, what do you think I want?"
Ren Yuanhao pretended to be frivolous and then lit a cigarette.
