#722 - Chapter 722 A thief broke into the base

"Dad, are we just leaving like this? Shouldn't we prepare some weapons for self-defense?" Nata asked.

"Figure it out yourself."

"Then what about transportation?"

"Figure it out yourself."

"What if we encounter danger?"

"Figure it out yourself."

Nata felt both nervous and excited about the upcoming trip.

However, Dongfang Chen didn't seem to care at all and didn't make any arrangements. No matter what Nata asked, he only said one thing: Figure it out yourself.

"Aren't you afraid I'll go astray outside?" Nata asked jokingly.

"What's there to be afraid of? We can always start over," Dongfang Chen replied.

"Uh... Do you have to be so direct?"

"Direct? I didn't even say restore to factory settings," Dongfang Chen said with a strange smile.

"How can you treat me like this? I'm very sad," Nata said, immediately backing down.

"I'm wholeheartedly teaching you to be good, but you want to learn to be bad. I'm also very sad," Dongfang Chen shrugged.

"No, I was just kidding," Nata said, sticking out her tongue.

"It's okay. Feel free to do whatever you want, just follow your heart," Dongfang Chen said.

"Don't worry, I'm watching him. Everything will be fine," Mengka said, patting Dongfang Chen on the shoulder.

"I wouldn't be worried if it weren't for you," Dongfang Chen glanced at Mengka.

"What do you mean? I have principles, okay?" Mengka retorted, unconvinced.

"Alright, hurry up and leave. Let me have a few days of peace and quiet," Dongfang Chen said, too lazy to waste words, waving his hand to shoo them away.

The two entered the underground teleportation channel and arrived at the Lop Nur underground base.

"Who's there? Sneaking around. Come out!" a patrolling soldier shouted.

"We're lost. Can you tell us how to get to Niu Xingwang's office?" Mengka asked.

Nata didn't have the authority to access the database, but Mengka knew the structure of the Lop Nur base very well. How could they be lost?

They wanted to sneak into the underground hangar and secretly follow a transport ship carrying supplies.

Dongfang Chen didn't give them any special privileges, only an identity as base staff.

The rest was up to them to figure out.

"Are you on a first-name basis with Councilor Niu? Show me your identification."

Mengka and Nata obediently handed over their IDs.

The soldier took the IDs and checked them, then asked:

"Internal affairs? I haven't seen you two before."

"We're new."

"Do you think you can just see Councilor Niu whenever you want? Come with me, I'll take you to the living quarters."

"Oh, thank you."

Inside the living quarters.

"You can stay here. Pay attention to system messages and ask your captain if you have any questions."

The soldier was quite helpful.

"Okay, thank you."

After the soldier left.

"What do we do now? That guy Dongfang Chen actually assigned us a task, requiring us to leave the base within three hours. Otherwise, our identities will expire, and we'll be arrested," Mengka said.

"Sister, do you think Dad will reset me if we just steal a warship?" Nata asked.

"I don't think so. Isn't he just telling us to figure it out ourselves? Now that the normal route isn't working, isn't the only option to do something against the rules?" Mengka analyzed.

"Okay, let's do it."

The two left the living quarters and headed towards the hangar again.

"Sister, let's wait here for a while. There's a warship over there unloading cargo. It should be leaving after it's done. Let's find an opportunity to sneak onto the warship and go out with them," Nata whispered, laying out the plan.

"Okay!"

Mengka felt it was very fun and clapped her hands excitedly.

To prevent being discovered again, they lay down next to the landing gear of another warship.

It was a warship that transported supplies back and forth from Barto City.

Besides the two future soldiers on duty, there was no one else on board.

The loading and unloading of supplies were all done by loading and unloading robots, requiring no manual intervention.

They knew about the future soldiers. They wore pseudo-vibranium mechs, making them very difficult to deal with.

Moreover, future soldiers were all ninth-level cultivators, and their martial prowess was definitely not low.

After waiting for two hours, the warship finally finished unloading.

They only had 20 minutes left before their identities were exposed.

"Sister, they're going in. Let's hurry over," Nata said.

The two ran towards the warship at top speed.

Although they didn't have supernatural powers, the energy core of their bodies was vibranium crystal, making their explosive power very strong.

"Beep beep beep~"

Unfortunately, they were one step too late.

Just as the two future soldiers entered the warship, the hatch began to close.

"Sister, there's no time, charge in!" Nata said.

The two finally rushed in one after the other when the hatch was two-thirds closed.

At this time, the two future soldiers were still standing at the hatch, not having left.

Seeing the two suddenly running up, they were directly stunned.

This was the first time they had encountered such a situation.

"Could it be that thieves have entered the base?"

This was the first reaction of the two future soldiers.
