CHAPTER 947: CHAPTER 716: STIRRING UP A COMMOTION

Li Yi’s Class A authority indeed proved highly useful. Not only did it grant him the right to fly, but the survival base’s energy protective shield and formations would automatically open for him without obstructing his travel.

On further reflection, this is quite reasonable.

A person with such authority must at least be capable of defeating a Sky Demon. If such permissions weren’t granted, how could immediate support be provided when strong enemies invade?

Shortly thereafter.

Li Yi appeared atop the survival base, riding on Xiangyun.

This base looked like a futuristic city of iron and steel, with its primary construction material being nano-metals. This material not only boasted impressive defensive qualities but, most importantly, possessed an extraordinary self-repair capability.

In other words, even if this city suffered an attack, as long as the main brain within the base wasn’t destroyed, the city could restore itself in a very short time, significantly reducing the workload of post-battle reconstruction.

But the ability to construct a city with such nano-metals is a feat only the authorities could undertake, suggesting that they had long devised plans for these survival bases.

"The cosmic energy here is very abundant, and there’s scarcely any pollution..." Li Yi then sensed the energy field enveloping the entire city.

Moreover, the energy sources were twelve in number.

That is to say, within this survival base, there were twelve complete Miracles, forming a formation that continuously supplied the whole base with abundant cosmic energy.

Cultivating here would be akin to being in a Mysterious Object Cultivation Room, and without the factor of pollution, the cultivation speed of Evolvers would be extremely rapid.

"In such crucial times of existential threat, the authorities likely marshaled all resources, truly constructing a vast energy field with twelve complete Miracles, which is truly extravagant."

Li Yi couldn’t help but click his tongue.

Though he had considerable wealth himself, compared to the authorities, it was like comparing a minor magician to a great one, and this was just on the surface—who knows how many complete Miracles were hidden underneath.

And this is just one survival base; there are nine others just like it.

"You there, stop."

Suddenly.

A voice abruptly rang out, and then a team of personnel materialized in the air, flying straight toward Li Yi’s position, seemingly the patrol personnel of the city.

As Xiangyun beneath Li Yi’s feet came to a halt, he looked at them.

It must be noted that the strength of Earth’s Evolvers is now incomparable to before. These patrol personnel, despite being of Spirit God Realm caliber and showing signs of mastering multiple techniques, were strong enough that fighting Earth Demons outside wouldn’t be an issue.

"Is something the matter?" Li Yi asked.

"I am Zhang Yiming, the patroller in this area," the leader of the group spoke. "Since we hadn’t previously met an A-Class authority member like you, we came to verify your identity. I hope we’re not taking up too much of your time."

Li Yi waved a hand dismissively, "It’s fine, go ahead and verify."

Zhang Yiming said, "Thank you for your cooperation. According to the information from the brain core, your name is Li Yi, and you previously served as an external agent in Tianchang City... However, your appearance somewhat differs from the records. May I ask when you last returned to Earth?"

"Today," Li Yi replied. "The discrepancy in appearance is because the system hasn’t been updated promptly; after all, that photo is from years ago, and a person’s appearance changes after cultivation."

Zhang Yiming nodded, "That makes sense. It’s just that I wonder if you would mind us taking a little blood for genetic testing, as you know, whether it’s in the Xuanxian World or the Demon God Realm, they have transformation techniques, making it difficult to confirm someone’s identity just by appearance. Genetic testing is foolproof."

He gestured, and a patroller beside him took out a small blood collection device, which could also conduct genetic tests.

Li Yi asked, "I remember there being a life detection device that can detect a person’s life fluctuation, so why do you need to collect blood?"

Finding it strange, he grew somewhat cautious and started inquiring.

"That device is rather special; it’s not standard equipment for us patrollers," Zhang Yiming said. "Li Yi, we hope you’ll cooperate. Just a drop of blood for genetic comparison, and you’ll be free to move about the survival base."

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "I don’t mind cooperating, but I’m not sure if there’s a regulation in the survival base about this. Could you have your superior explain this situation to me?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yiming appeared troubled. "Our superior is very busy and might not have free time for quite a while."

"Then I’m sorry; if there’s no sufficiently authorized person, I don’t consent to you taking my blood," Li Yi stated firmly. His unique Divine Bloodline made his blood quite special.

Having survived World No. 36 as one of its messengers, he remained cautious and didn’t want to casually hand over his blood.

Especially in this chaotic and tumultuous period.

It’s not a matter of distrust toward the survival base, but out of concern for his own safety.

"If you insist on not cooperating with the genetic testing, Li Yi, then I’m sorry, I can’t let you into the survival base," Zhang Yiming replied.

Li Yi looked at him intently.

The patrollers immediately grew vigilant, subconsciously emanating a strong energy fluctuation, seeming ready to act.

After all, someone with A-Class authority wouldn’t be weak.

"Fine, if that’s the case, I’ll leave this survival base and not disrupt your work." Li Yi found the behavior of these people strange, but as an Earthling, he couldn’t afford a conflict with these officials.

Thinking it over, he decided to leave and check out other places.

"Sorry to have wasted your time," Zhang Yiming signaled for him to leave.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi didn’t linger and promptly departed.

However, just as Li Yi was leaving.

Zhang Yiming looked back at the others, lowering his voice, "Hurry, this Li Yi is suspicious of us. Things are certainly going to be exposed."

The other Evolvers following him exchanged panicked glances before quickly leaving.

At this moment.

Just as Li Yi was flying out of No.8 Survival Base, he saw Chen Yi and others preparing to enter the base.

Harboring doubt about the earlier blood collection for genetic verification, he decided to ask Chen Yi what this was all about.

"Chen Yi."

Li Yi descended from the sky.

Upon seeing Li Yi return, Chen Yi was somewhat surprised.

"I want to ask you something. For someone unfamiliar, like me, entering the survival base, does it require blood collection for genetic testing?" Li Yi asked directly.

Chen Yi hesitated, then looked at his teammates, who all shook their heads in confusion.

"No such procedure exists for blood collection and genetic testing."

Li Yi frowned, "Earlier I encountered what seemed like a patrol squad, claiming to need genetic verification to confirm my identity."

"That’s impossible; the survival base’s brain could already recognize faces, and the accuracy is so high that even with transformation techniques, it couldn’t fool the brain. It’s like fingerprints—no transformation technique could make them identical. Advanced technology would have detected any such transformation long ago unless someone was possessed."

Chen Yi explained, "However, with possession, there would be anomalies in the soul’s fluctuations, and this could also be detected. The survival base has numerous detection facilities, hidden everywhere, controlled by the brain. Patrol personnel can only maintain order; they have no authority to detect spies."

"Those patrol personnel are superior to sixth-generation advanced brains?"

Back then, Lan Ji had only a fourth-generation brain.

This base’s brain had already been upgraded to the sixth generation.

Hearing this, Li Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that person isn’t right..."

With this thought, he immediately flickered his figure, Xiangyun lifting him back into the survival base.

However, when Li Yi returned to the previous spot.

The squad led by Zhang Yiming was nowhere to be seen.

"Guilty of a guilty conscience, they ran?" Li Yi’s expression gradually turned cold.

What’s happening in this survival base?

A problematic team lurking inside went unnoticed; what’s the brain doing?

Could there be someone with higher authority assisting them in doing unseemly deeds?

Indeed.

Thankfully, I was cautious; otherwise, I would have allowed them to collect my blood.

And if this blood falls into their hands, especially during this chaotic and turbulent time...

It’s not that I don’t trust the survival base, but out of concern for my own safety.

Just then.

Li Yi was just flying out of No.8 Survival Base when he saw Chen Yi and others approaching the base.

Regarding what happened earlier with the request for a blood sample for genetic verification, he suspected something was wrong, so he approached Chen Yi directly.

"Is it true that I have to provide a blood sample for genetic verification to get into the base?" Li Yi directly asked.

Chen Yi paused, then glanced at his teammates, who all looked puzzled. "No such procedure exists," he said. "There are advanced recognition systems in place. Even with the Transformation Technique, the brain can detect and verify identity, much like with fingerprints. Only possession would cause unusual soul waveforms."

Chen Yi continued, "Also, they told me that they don’t carry the special detection device I’ve heard of. Patrols don’t have the authority to verify spies."

Li Yi heard this and narrowed his eyes: "Looks like that person must be hiding something..."

With that realization, he began to consider his options. He had no desire to leave matters unresolved or to hand over his blood carelessly.

Li Yi landed heavily back at the previous location, summoning the Dragon and Tiger Power.

The Divine Power suddenly surged out.

The entire base was instantly awash with powerful energy waves surging into the sky.

Believing that a formidable enemy was invading, several strong auras instantly rose into the air from different parts of the base, radiating intense energy waves.

They mistakenly thought the invader was powerful.

Li Yi thought it better to stir up a commotion and draw out someone of significant authority to engage in a high-level discussion.

He did not wish to suffer a loss by recklessly allowing them to take his blood sample.
