Chapter 1840: Chapter 577: Prophecy and Counterprophecy (6k)

Starry Sky, within the borders of the Carli Empire

Although not all the secret bases of the Three Great Civilizations are located at the edge of the explored universe, quite a few are hidden within the nihility space between the star systems in the core region of the starry sky.

However, with the Star Gate present, the sheer distance often cannot be calculated directly.

After all, within the explored universe, the frequency of civilian spacecraft passing through increases, and to ensure safety, the coordinates of bases are set to be exceptionally far from star systems, even in the vast nihility space between them.

To return from the nihility space to the interior of a star system, one can only choose the arduous path of warp travel.

Moreover, being further from the star systems, more time is needed to locate the Star Gate.

Conversely, those secret bases at the edge of the explored universe, being closer to star systems, require less warp travel, making the actual return journey shorter.

The secret base recently infiltrated by the Undead, who stole a batch of data, happened to be in such an unfortunate location.

Due to the inspection of the transport ships, the return journey was further delayed by several days before finally providing an opportunity to escape.

Ten days after disconnecting from the Insect Swarm Network, the Undead finally saw the familiar planet once again.

"Prepare to leave the transport ship, inform them not to lose control."

"Understood, we have it under control."

Outside the armor of the detached warp ship, an invisible humanoid form looked at the distant planet and slightly relaxed even though there was no air here, nor did it have the corresponding physiological functions.

This planet was precisely the one where they boarded this transport fleet.

After infiltrating that base where no one had returned, and nearly being discovered, they had been tense all the way, but finally, they were back.

As a secret supply fleet, the supplies were not obtained out of thin air; this was one of the fleet’s supply points, specifically for high-energy ores, commonly known as fuel.

At that time, they had mingled with those ores on other transport ships to get here, then awaited the arrival of the secret fleet to board the transport ship.

And now to return, they naturally needed to take this route again.

After all, they were only undead, unable to traverse space out of thin air.

The spaceship quickly landed, the undead onboard had all prepared, and during the short time when the ship was not far from the spaceport, they all swiftly switched their carriers.

They dived into the corridors extending from the spaceport and swiftly into its interior.

Even though this was the territory of the Gemini Empire, as a regular warehouse, it did not have the secrecy level of that secret base.

Apart from some ordinary radars that had long been overcome, there was hardly any substantial alert system, reducing the difficulty considerably; the undead felt as if they had just returned from a challenging instance to the beginner’s village, feeling utterly relieved.

However, they obviously couldn’t stay here; even the brave Insect Swarm wouldn’t dare to set up a nest on a garrison planet of the Three Great Civilizations.

They moved straight toward a certain spaceport on the planet, and soon succeeded in boarding a regular transport ship.

After several twists and turns, they returned to a planet where the Insect Swarm truly lurked, returned to the embrace of the network.

On the tenth day since leaving the network, the Undead once again stood before Bai Yi.

"Queen, the data has been brought back."

"You are... oh, from that base."

A thought crossed Bai Yi’s mind before she immediately recognized these undead.

Reaching out, she grasped at them, and the data stored within their souls exploded like a zip file, dispersing everywhere in the virtual world of the network.

"Oh ho, so much data this time, did you pack the entire database and bring it back?"

While speaking, Bai Yi waved her hand, and the scattered data converged like a vortex into her hand, beginning to form a piece of data.

"Yes, I broke into the core area of that base, and recorded the entire database back."

The undead spoke in a tone seemingly eager for credit.

"So, that’s what your base was like... you’re the first to successfully compile all the data back.

Every base has a different structure..."

The Bai Yi in the virtual world thought for a moment, nodding slightly, and with a rub of her right hand, four identical files appeared in her hand.

These were the results brought back by other undead.

Since the departure of the last batch of undead, the first batch had already started returning in succession.

And this undead was the fifth one among them.

"Other bases are different, indeed..."

The undead curiously remarked, having personally experienced the rigorous security of that secret base, where freedom of movement was impossible, and they were nearly detected.

To them, it was a standard design by the Three Great Civilizations, unimaginable to have even stricter protection measures.

"That’s right, before you, other undead have returned and brought back maps of other bases as well.

Not only the secret bases of the other two civilizations, but even the Empire’s other bases have distinct differences in their security measures compared to what you encountered.

The one you encountered was one of the simpler ones.

There are more undead dispatched, and we haven’t heard back yet."

There was no need to keep secrets from their own; Bai Yi casually flung the four files in her hand, sharing all the intelligence.

Taking these files, the undead immediately opened to the page of the respective base maps, looking at the structure built from their exploration and data, they took a sharp breath.
