Chapter 648 Base One

Lu Yu and the other four appeared with a flash and walked out of the Ixdale teleportation node.

“It’s strange to be back in Ixdale; everything here is different.”

“There’s no doubt about it. I mean, look where we are.”

Lu Yu and Xu Yuan exited the teleportation node.

Standing on the side of the road, it was clear that Ixdale differed from Cloud City, even though it was also densely packed with tall buildings and skyscrapers of various sizes.

However, most people walking down the street were in their forties and fifties. Only a few young people were around, all dressed casually.

“Okay, now that we’ve arrived in Ixdale, how do we get to the military headquarters?”

“You can’t go through the public teleportation point to the military headquarters. You must go to a special teleportation point to get to the military headquarters. This location is generally kept private, with only military personnel accessing it.”

“I’ll bring you there.”

Xu Yuan took the lead and began walking through the streets.

They eventually arrived at a tall building in the city center.

It appeared to be an office building, the tallest structure in Ixdale, standing over 600 meters tall. The top of the building could break through the clouds on a rainy day.

Looking at the tall and majestic building, Lu Yu asked, “Isn’t this an office building? Can we teleport over from inside here?”

“The teleportation node is on the roof, and there is a reason why the military department set it up here. If there is a major crisis in Ixdale, they can immediately appear in the city center immediately and send troops in all directions.

“However, I do not anticipate any major crises in Ixdale. After all, this city is far too significant to us, being the most important city in the Freedom Federation.”

“If a crisis does occur in Ixdale, the Freedom Federation will be jeopardized.”

“Don’t forget about the enemies we’ll face,” Lu Yu reminded him. “What you stated is not impossible.”

Xu Yuan nodded as he looked at Lu Yu. “That’s correct. That is why we must do everything possible to prevent this from happening.”

They arrived at the gate, and Xu Yuan revealed their identification. They were allowed in after some inspection.

The identification of Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei was also verified. However, after checking Xu Yuan and Lu Yu’s identification, Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei’s identification became somewhat irrelevant.

After all, they had been brought by Lu Yu, so there would be no problems.

When Lu Yu entered the hall, he noticed many office workers walking around. Everyone was dressed formally in a black suit and carrying various documents.

Xu Yuan and Lu Yu approached the elevator and entered it.

Xu Yuan pressed the button for the top floor, and the elevator began to move.

“It’s my first time going to the military headquarters,” Yun Zirou said nervously in the elevator. “I’m nervous.”

“It’s all right. Many people will be nervous on their first visit. After a few more times, it’ll be fine.” Xu Yuan consoled her.

“My ambition was always to join the military. I didn’t think I’d be able to achieve it this quickly.” With a smile, Han Xuefei commented.

She turned to Lu Yu and added, “This is all because of you.”

Lu Yu, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly. “This is insignificant. You’ve also helped me, and we’re simply assisting one another. This is what friends should do.”

Han Xuefei nodded slightly and smiled.

The elevator soon arrived at the top floor.

On the top floor was an empty rooftop and a small cement house.

Lu Yu stood still, feeling a cold wind blowing. He looked up at the sky and reached out as if he could touch it.

He looked around and saw the entire Ixdale below him, and he took everything in.

“What comes next?”

Lu Yu asked Xu Yuan as they walked toward the tiny house.

“Mr. Wu, please open the portal. We require it.”

Xu Yuan said as he knocked on the door.

The metal door opened, and a hunched old man emerged. He raised his head, a happy smile spreading across his wrinkled face.

“Xu Yuan, you’re here?”

“I’m accompanying a friend this time.”

“Is that Lu Yu?”

“That’s right; it’s him,”

“Okay, I’ll open a portal to the military for you all.”

He raised his hands and drew in the air after saying that.

“You young people will achieve greatness sooner or later. I, on the other hand, am old and clumsy. I can only be a gatekeeper.”

Xu Yuan smiled and scratched his head. “Don’t say something like that. You were much better than us when you were younger.”

“Maybe better than you, but no match for that young man.” Mr. Wu chuckled to himself.

Xu Yuan silently nodded. “That’s true.”

Boom!

At this point, a hole in the sky was ripped open, and the flowing teleportation gate opened.

“It’s open; you may enter.” Mr. Wu made his way for them.

“This is the portal,” Xu Yuan said as he returned to Lu Yu’s side. “We will arrive at base one after entering here.”

“All right, let’s go!”

“Do you want to do anything else?” Lu Yu asked Han Xuefei.

Han Xuefei raised her head and answered. “There isn’t much I can do. My family’s situation has not changed, and there’s no improvement for the time being. At the very least, there’s no big crisis.”

“All right, let’s go!”

Lu Yu took the initiative and entered the portal. Xu Yuan hurriedly entered as Lu Yu’s figure vanished.

Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei trailed behind him.

…

It was a world of ice and snow on the far northern border. The sky and the earth were a deep, dusky blue. There was no sign of life, and the land was withered. Ordinary people would not be able to survive in such a harsh environment, and even awakeners with strong physical fitness would struggle to survive here.

However, a city lay beneath such a world of ice and snow.

The city wasn’t large—about the size of a county. But the buildings here were far superior to what a typical county could build, as the structures and facilities were all made of hard steel.

Ordinary structures were made of cement, steel bars, and bricks. On the other hand, these buildings were all made of thick metal, with each structure considered a stronghold.

There was an empty square in the center of this small city. Light flashed, and Lu Yu and the others emerged.

A gust of cold wind blew at them as soon as they appeared, making Yun Zirou shiver. However, she quickly adjusted to the sudden temperature change.

“Is this base one?”

Lu Yu asked.

“That’s right,” Xu Yuan explained. “This is the location. Base one is the farthest north of all the bases, and the ferocious beasts they encounter are more powerful than the rest. The environment is also worse here. But these bases have been extremely well constructed so that normal living conditions will be unaffected.”

Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “We should register before officially joining the military now that we’ve decided. Our information should be included in official files as well.”

“That’s correct, but you don’t have to do these menial tasks. Let’s go see the general.”
