All around were old tin buildings, and the environnt in this area was terrible, barely better than the underground city.
However, looking towards the city center, one could see so relatively better tal buildings, none of which were very tall, only a dozen floors or so.
And in the very center of the city stood a castle built of azure boulders, looking very grand and magnificent.
"What a dump!"
Celeste said disdainfully.
"That's normal, Celeste. Find a port to infiltrate the city's network and look for where they store the Energy Crystals. Charge yourself up first."
Su Ming replied calmly.
"Piece of cake, watch ."
Celeste replied excitedly and imdiately began scanning all nearby areas.
Soon she found a buried optical cable in a concealed spot and shared it with Su Ming.
Su Ming leaped up, jumping onto the top of the old tin house, moving swiftly like a shadow.
Along the way, he glanced at the streets from the corner of his eye.
The streets were almost devoid of people, with only so sallow-faced, ragged, holess folks huddled in the corners.
Besides that, there were patrolling guards.
The entire slum was lifeless.
A few minutes later, Su Ming landed in a secluded alley with Celeste.
"It's right in the signal well ahead."
Celeste eagerly said to Su Ming.
Su Ming glanced around to ensure no one was there, broke the electronic lock, opened the well cover, and jumped down.
Upon landing, Su Ming took Celeste out and placed her on the optical cable.
Celeste extended fine tal wires into the optical cable and quickly infiltrated the entire city.
"How's it going?"
Su Ming asked in a low voice.
"Haha, the idiots of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country! All network ports are connected together, and the firewalls are trash. Moreover, they use a lot of smart devices. I've infiltrated all the city's devices and planted a virus, so now all surveillance devices are my eyes."
Celeste replied with a chuckle.
"Aweso! Have you found where the Energy Crystals are stored?"
"Found it, it's in the reserve vault inside the castle."
"Okay, share the entire city's layout with ."
Su Ming said to Celeste.
"No problem!"
Celeste imdiately presented the entire city's layout to Su Ming's eyes.
Su Ming examined it carefully and quickly located the Defense Bureau, then asked Celeste.
"Celeste, can you see where the Defense Bureau stores their chas?"
"You're not thinking of stealing their weapons to use against them, are you?"
Celeste quickly realized and asked.
"Yes."
Su Ming replied calmly.
"Piece of cake, look!"
Celeste then displayed a video segnt.
In a huge hangar, rows of Iron Followers and Light Guards were arranged.
"So many chas, nice!"
Su Ming said with satisfaction.
"They only left a few chas guarding each intersection; the rest aren't around."
Celeste said with a smile.
"That's normal, let's head back."
Su Ming then took Celeste and left, heading back to the sewers.
...
In the sewer.
Wicket was waiting nervously.
At this mont, the well cover was opened again, and Wicket imdiately tensed up, raising the beam gun in his hand.
But when he saw it was Su Ming jumping down, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"No need to be so tense."
Su Ming said with a smile.
"Yes, sir, did your reconnaissance go smoothly?"
"Pretty smoothly. Wicket, I need to ask you sothing."
"Sure."
"How many among you can operate chas?"
"A few hundred people, I guess."
"That many?"
"We've been preparing for a long ti; many have been learning how to operate chas. Although the skills aren't great, basic operation is not an issue."
Wicket explained to Su Ming.
"Great, go back and bring a hundred people who can operate chas, and let the rest attack the enemy head-on at midnight through the main passage."
Su Ming instructed Wicket.
"Alright!"
Wicket imdiately turned and left.
Su Ming stood there waiting, continually flipping through the information provided by Celeste.
Over an hour later, Wicket returned with a hundred people.
"Brother Su, I've brought the people."
Wicket said excitedly.
"Alright, follow up!"
Su Ming then led the climb out.
Soon, Wicket and the others also climbed out one by one.
When they saw the vast starry sky, everyone looked extrely excited, with many already in tears.
Many who lived underground had never stepped out of the underground city from birth to death, let alone seen the outside world.
At this mont, Wicket and the others' eyes beca more determined, like the saying goes: If you have never seen the light and stayed in darkness, you can endure it. But once you've seen the light, you can no longer tolerate darkness.
"Everyone, the next action is critical. Success depends on this singular effort. You must absolutely follow my orders; do exactly what I say without any hesitation!"
Su Min said to Wicket and others.
"Yes!"
Wicket and his group nodded in agreent.
"Follow !"
Su Ming led Wicket and the others away.
They weaved around and finally reached a warehouse area near the Defense Bureau, finding an empty warehouse there.
"Wicket, have everyone hide here and wait for the chas!"
Su Ming said to Wicket and his group.
