Chapter 343: Chapter 223: Reverse Technique

Qu Jianlei found it a bit strange at first. Xiao Moshan held such permissions in his hands, so why didn’t he save himself sooner?

But thinking back to the first few years after he arrived in the Wasteland, he understood.

No matter how good your hand, it’s useless if you’re not strong enough.

But there’s still one thing he didn’t understand, ”Why are you giving me a small account... what’s the purpose?”

Xiao Moshan looked at him strangely, ”This way you can enter and exit the base freely. Don’t you want that?”

Qu Jianlei considered it, then nodded slightly, ”Of course, I want it, but... are there any concrete benefits?”

Xiao Moshan rolled his eyes, ”How can I promise you that? What you can get depends on your ability and luck.”

Qu Jianlei pondered. Being able to move freely in and out of the base was good, but it would also increase his desires.

”With a sharp blade in hand, the intent to kill arises.” It’s not said for nothing, and once he gets carried away, his self-control is pretty weak.

While he was pondering, Youyou spoke up, ”If Jianlei doesn’t want it, can you give it to me?”

Xiao Moshan glanced at her, his look fully expressing his intent—what are you thinking?

Youyou felt a bit disgruntled, ”We’re all comrades, why can’t you give it to me?”

Xiao Moshan’s expression grew strange, ”Didn’t you see Jianlei is considering? If I give it to you... that would be harmful to you!”

You can give it to me, I don’t have to use it. Youyou sulked, still feeling that her strength was being belittled...

But this was just a fleeting emotion, because she understood that Xiao Moshan was indeed considering her well-being.

Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and asked, ”Can you only authorize inside the base, or can it be done outside too?”

Xiao Moshan answered solemnly, ”Authorization can be done outside the base too. If you’re interested, I have to activate this secondary account’s permissions first.”

”Then just activate it,” Qu Jianlei and Youyou answered in unison.

Though they hadn’t thought of how to use it yet, it’s never wrong to activate it first.

Qu Jianlei even glanced thoughtfully at Youyou, thinking she understood the base even better than Xiao Moshan.

So in the future, if there’s a chance, he could completely discuss with her to see what they could pull off.

But Youyou’s face grew serious, her voice dropped to an almost inaudible whisper, ”Someone’s coming!”

In this kind of weather, Wind Elements appearing in the base would be strange, but trees thriving in rain is normal.

Soon, someone drove in a small electric car, with a canopy on top and a compartment in the back.

It was an automatic garbage sweeper, marking the beginning of the day at the base.

The rain continued drizzling on, and in the morning, anyone passing by the small garden was in too much of a hurry to linger.

By noon, the rain stopped, and more people came to the small garden in the afternoon, but few were leisurely.

The three of them were patient and waited straight through until evening.

In the evening, more people gathered in the garden, even in groups of three to five, bringing food and drink to enjoy.

Later, a young couple came to the vines, embracing and whispering sweet nothings.

A waft of sour sentiment known as ”dog food” filled the air before them.

However, there was one advantage: with the couple being affectionate here, others kept some distance, avoiding being too close.

The woman was in the army’s logistics, and the man had just started working. Both staying in the dorms, they chose to come here to enjoy the moonlight.

They chatted until late into the night before reluctantly leaving.

Xiao Moshan couldn’t help but mutter softly, ”Youth... it’s wonderful.”

Youyou, however, issued a warning, ”Best not to move at night; surveillance is stricter than during the day.”

”Isn’t that right?” Xiao Moshan murmured in disbelief, ”When should we act then?”

”Wait for an opportunity,” Youyou replied.

Qu Jianlei was more straightforward, ”Wait for the next rain.”

”That’s going to be a long wait,” Xiao Moshan sighed lightly, ”That female soldier said it’ll be sunny for some time.”

”Then we’ll wait,” Qu Jianlei stated casually, ”It’s still feasible to create a safe house at night, right?”

”Building a safe house is no problem,” Youyou answered without hesitation, ”The key is not moving around carelessly.”

”You two...” Xiao Moshan was speechless, finally sighing, ”Looks like my mindset is the problem.”

”The closer it gets to success, the harder it becomes to endure. Alright, let’s focus on building the safe house.”

Youyou initially wanted to build the safe house in the garden, but faced opposition from Xiao Moshan and Qu Jianlei.

This was the entrance and exit of the passage; if the safe house was discovered, it could jeopardize the passage’s safety.

So at the break of dawn the next day, as the sky was just brightening, the three of them went to a small hillock over three hundred meters from the garden.

This small hillock was usually part of a landscape, but a few permanent defensive fortifications had been built there.

These fortifications were normally closed and would only be activated in case of conflict.

Even Xiao Moshan was familiar with this place. He even remarked, ”If this place were to be used, the base would soon be done for.”

Because they didn’t dare to act openly, the three of them only dug a shallow pit on the first day, just enough to hide in.

Continuing to work that night, they unexpectedly discovered that there were still people passing by on patrol at midnight.

It took them a full four days to complete this safe house, and the inside was very cramped.

Two meters by two meters square, and not even two meters high, Qu Jianlei could barely stand up straight.

Thankfully, all three were fugitives and were well aware of the terror of the base, so they endured it.

Perhaps because the weather had been good recently, during the day, there were quite a few people around the safe house.

The three were idle, so they listened to their conversations, which generally revolved around business or technical matters.

Qu Jianlei found this quite strange, ”These people talk about nothing but work...is there nothing else to say?”

”That’s the base for you,” Youyou answered with a touch of pride, ”Most of the time, people’s thoughts are all about work.”

Qu Jianlei looked at her speechlessly, then at Xiao Moshan, but said nothing.

Yet his eyes clearly conveyed: Such a pure place, and it turned you two into fugitives?

Youyou sensed his thoughts and pouted sulkily, ”No matter where you go, there are good people and bad people.”

Qu Jianlei’s lips twitched, thinking to himself, well, if you don’t care, there’s no need for me to stand up for you.

In fact, listening to these people’s conversations often gave him new ideas.

He had learned a variety of repair knowledge, not only in mechanics but also in materials, electronics, and mechanics.

He wasn’t sure how high the combat power of the base was, but the technical caliber of the personnel was truly beyond his imagination.

He even felt that staying a few more days in this cramped safe house wasn’t so bad, as he could hear many new things.

However, this also indirectly highlighted how strong the base was. Not to mention its famous combat power, its technical prowess alone crushed the gorge.

In fact, this strange existence of the base led Qu Jianlei to some speculation.

However, Xiao Moshan and Youyou weren’t forthcoming, so he didn’t ask—did they expect him to beg for the information?

He wished to eavesdrop for a few more days, but as often is the case, things didn’t go his way. On the third night after the safe house was completed, it rained!

Xiao Moshan and Youyou had been holding back for a while, spending these days simulating ways to quickly reach the old training facility.

That’s the place that Wei Wushuang had mentioned, where a nutrition pod was kept.

The training facility was where Modified Warriors and Ultimate Warriors trained. After a new facility was set up, the old one was sealed off.

As for why it wasn’t dismantled, it was for combat preparation needs.

The basic facilities of the old training site remained intact and could be quickly used if there was a training demand.

The place stored quite a few relatively old supplies; that nutrition pod...is likely one of them.

It could still be used, but since there was no current need, it was left there for now. When Wei Wushuang came in for treatment, he used that one.

Youyou assessed that ”For the base, the importance of the nutrition pod is only greater than the nutrient liquid, but far less than the regeneration potion.”

Nutrition pods are high-tech products with entry barriers, and the base strictly manages their export to effectively control the gorge.

Although regeneration potions are more important, they are consumables, and it’s impossible not to release them.

Qu Jianlei managed to get a regeneration potion but couldn’t obtain a nutrition pod due to these controls.

According to Youyou and Xiao Moshan, it’s also challenging for people inside the base to receive limb regeneration treatment, which is costly.

However, the barrier restricting them is the potion, not the nutrition pod.

The old training room also had guards and generally prohibited unauthorized access...although the materials were somewhat outdated, their usability was the main point.

Thus, having a nutrition pod there wasn’t surprising.

The rain started in the middle of the night, with large raindrops pouring heavily, but the three didn’t dare to move recklessly.

Xiao Moshan couldn’t help suggesting, ”Jian Lei, could you make the rain heavier, so we can move now?”

”Or wait until just before dawn; if the rain stops, we’ll have to wait again.”

Youyou objected, ”As long as it’s nighttime, the heavier the rain, the more alert the patrols will be. I don’t agree.”

Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow, ”How about this, I disperse some rain clouds... try to prolong the rain until dawn?”

The other two exchanged glances and simultaneously asked in astonishment, ”Is that possible?”

”I don’t know either,” Qu Jianlei spread his hands, answering honestly, ”It’s just an idea worth trying.”

The two spoke in unison, ”Then give it a try.”

Qu Jianlei spent half an hour calculating and then tried to control the water elements in the air, influencing the rain clouds in return.

After several attempts, without realizing it, the force he exerted increased a bit.

”Huh?” In a dimly lit room, someone opened their eyes in surprise, ”Is this... reverse rain manipulation?”
