Chapter 403 Art is explosion
The 5-kilometer journey was only a 5-minute walk for the three of them. This was only because Li Chenglong was taking care of the two people who came with him. Otherwise, he could have used teleportation and arrived in less than 2 minutes.
Because their special combat suits are made from the silk of level 11 alien spiders, and also contain some special fibers manufactured by Li Chenglong's space factory, they can effectively block the opponent's sensory abilities or infrared sensors.
Upon arriving near Seoul, Lee Sung-ryong said, "The three of us will split up. Be careful, and meet up here in two hours." As he spoke, he sent the location to the map on the two women's crystal phones. The two women nodded and then used their abilities to leave.
Wang Shuang, as an extremely rare level 11 dark attribute ability user, can be said to be a low-end version of Dongfang Yunbing, because Dongfang Yunbing is a level 12 late-stage Dark Angel Spirit Awakener.
After Wang Shuang received Li Chenglong's help and leveled up to level 11, she gained a very special ability: Shadow Transformation. Wherever there is a shadow, her body can merge with it, and unless one possesses extremely strong perception or an eye like Li Chenglong's True Dragon Eye that can see through things, it is impossible to detect her presence. She has used this ability many times to obtain a wealth of valuable intelligence for the special forces and Dawn City, earning numerous commendations from Li Chenglong and Yun Lan.
After Zhao Liying leveled up to level 11, her ability to attach spirits was further enhanced, and she could use spirit attachment multiple times in a row. She could split her spirit into many clones and attach them to her opponents. For the next hour, Zhao Liying could hear and see everything that person said and saw. Moreover, because she already had mental enhancement, even some level 12 opponents would have a hard time detecting the spirits she had attached to others.
Besides spirit possession, Zhao Liying possesses another formidable ability: spirit possession. This ability allows her to enter an opponent's mind, disrupting their normal thinking and achieving complete control for a certain period. If the opponent is just an ordinary person, she can control them for as long as she desires. Even if they are an 11-person superhuman, Zhao Liying can still maintain complete control for 10 minutes if she concentrates all her attention.
Previously, when Zhao Liying reached level 11, she wanted to test her spirit possession and spirit control abilities. Li Chenglong, who was already level 12, asked her to use her skills on him out of curiosity. However, Zhao Liying was surprised to find that her two skills had no effect on him at all. Before her cloned spirit could even get close to Li Chenglong, it was completely absorbed by the energy around him.
Seeing that the two women had already used their abilities to explore the situation inside Seoul, Lee Sung-ryong glanced at his watch and instantly disappeared from the spot.
He had originally planned to disguise himself and go among the Koreans in Seoul to gather information, but unfortunately, no matter how much makeup he put on, he didn't look like one of them. After all, he was 186cm tall, with a strong but not overly burly or rugged build, and with a thick head of blond hair, even if he blended in with them, they would quickly notice his unusual appearance.
Thinking this through, Li Chenglong abandoned the idea and used teleportation repeatedly to enter the central area of the alien base. This Seoul city was a square-shaped fortress with several layers and many areas. The outermost layer of the base's walls was constructed of reinforced concrete, with some alien-specific metals used to strengthen the walls. The main materials used in most of the buildings inside were also products from Earth.
This is understandable; after all, aliens traveling such a great distance wouldn't bring so many building materials, and even if they did, they wouldn't use them to build a base on Earth. The further in they went, the more advanced the technology became, and the fewer human traces they showed. Along the way, he also noticed that although the Koreans had clearly surrendered to the aliens, most of them weren't living particularly well. Li Chenglong didn't seem to care much about this; he had to bear the consequences of his own actions.
After completing his investigations in many areas, Li Chenglong finally decided to check out their core area. Since the time he had agreed upon with Zhao Liying and Wang Shuang was approaching, even if they were discovered, he could simply retreat. So, in a flash, he appeared at a place that appeared to be the alien command center.
At this moment, Alarais, one of the seven executives of the space pirates, had just finished communicating with Keltilan, the commander of the Earth conquest operation. Somewhat dissatisfied, he said to his adjutant beside him, "Keltilan and Sitros are urging us to speed up the progress again. What can I do? Apart from some places in Africa, South America, Central Asia, and West Asia, the combat power in other places is much higher than we estimated. They keep urging us, but they don't send out more soldiers."
Just as the adjutant was about to speak, he saw a slight ripple in the space in front of him, and then suddenly a person appeared. Li Chenglong opened his eyes and found more than a dozen aliens with different appearances staring at him. The scene fell silent for a moment, with only the sounds of some equipment running could be heard.
"Intruders! Kill them!" Arales was the first to react, and Li Chenglong's various abilities were activated instantly as well. His level 13 mechanical lifeform, with physique of 817, strength of 832, agility of 804, and spirit of 781, was comparable to the New Human Emperor Zhao Wuji. Through this data, Li Chenglong also discovered that mechanical lifeforms were not just robots; they were also a form of life.
"Storm Slash!" Arales swung his greatsword and slashed down. "Dimensional Slash!" Li Chenglong unleashed his full spiritual energy and used his level two True Dragon Blood to block this incredibly powerful attack. Then, he disappeared from the spot.
"They actually possess spatial abilities! You two stay here to protect the command center, the rest of you come with me and give chase!" Arales shouted, then charged ahead.
Li Chenglong had by this time reached a point one kilometer from the alien command post. It wasn't that he was afraid of the enemy commander, but it wasn't time for a major battle yet, and with Wang Shuang and Zhao Liying with him, it would be a huge loss if something happened to them. However, having gone to such great lengths to reach Seoul, he couldn't just leave without doing anything; that wouldn't be in line with his style.
As he spoke, he leaped back and forth between various warehouses in Seoul, collecting everything from weapons and ammunition to alien mechs and daily necessities like food and vegetables into his psionic space. Combined with what he already possessed, the storage area was almost overflowing. Li Chenglong had to temporarily store some canned goods with long shelf lives in an open area of the natural district, intending to take them to the logistics department upon returning to Dawn City.
While collecting these supplies, Li Chenglong also made sure to plant many crystal time bombs developed by the Dawn Army's research department. These bombs were extremely powerful, equivalent to a full-force attack from an 8th-level ability user. Looking at his watch, he realized it was time to meet the two women, so he quickly withdrew from Seoul.
When he arrived, Zhao Liying and Wang Shuang were already waiting there. Seeing Li Chenglong return safely, they both happily came over to greet him. Wang Shuang said with a smile, "Captain Li, Zhao Liying and I have had a very fruitful trip. When are we leaving?" Li Chenglong smiled and shook his head, "Not yet. I'll treat you to a real work of art."
He had barely finished speaking when the two women heard a series of explosions in the distance. Looking towards Seoul, they saw flames shooting into the sky and thick smoke billowing from everywhere. They looked at him curiously, only to see Lee Sung-ryong grinning mischievously as he looked into the distance and said, "Art is explosions!"
However, before the three could even appreciate the beautiful scenery for thirty seconds, Aralas had already led his men out of Seoul and rushed towards where Lee Sung-ryong was standing. He immediately said, "Wang Shuang, Zhao Liying, let's go quickly." With that, he hurriedly used dimensional travel and jumped into the other dimension with the two women.
