Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 350 - 230: Spaceship Landing

"Above the Supreme..." Youyou’s eyes revealed a trace of confusion, then she shook her head, "Never heard of it."

The highest is only the Golden Core? Qu Jianlei frowned: That’s a bit disappointing.

At least the Golden Core doesn’t last very long. Thinking of this, he asked again, "How long does the Supreme live?"

How long the Supreme lives... you’re asking me this? Youyou wanted to cry, do you trust me that much?

She shook her head again, "I don’t know, most people can’t even come into contact with the Supreme."

"Oh," Qu Jianlei nodded, not coming into contact with the Supreme... is somewhat a good thing, at least it increases safety, right?

As per usual, the two entered the base quietly when dawn was about to break.

The gestures Qu Jianlei used were taught by Xiao Moshan, and he even tried to deconstruct these gestures.

But this behavior was called "courting death" by Xiao Moshan. He insisted, the base has more than one Supreme, don’t mess around!

Anyway, using a small account to enter the base this time was no different from the last time.

However, the moment he entered, it was different. He almost immediately discovered there was someone separated by just one wall!

The opening of the passage was silent, but it was natural to stir some air movement.

There was more than one person outside the wall, and there was also an A-level warrior.

Qu Jianlei reacted quickly, instantly restraining their energy and casting a very subtle blinding technique.

The A-level warrior vaguely sensed something was amiss, so they released a chill — they had an ice attribute.

Luckily it was the ice attribute, the small garden was full of plants, and after a brief investigation found nothing unusual, so they retracted their aura.

Inside the base, casual use of techniques was not allowed. They were on official duty, so they could use it, but damaging the plants wasn’t good either.

Someone beside them asked, "Instructor... what’s this?"

"Spot check," the A-level warrior answered indifferently, a female voice, giving no further explanation.

After a while, the people outside left, and the two quickly slipped under the familiar vine again.

Youyou let out a light sigh of relief, "That was close, having the Eternal Ice lead the patrol, it’s really not easy to fool her."

Eternal Ice... must be a nickname, right? Qu Jianlei didn’t think much of it.

No matter what, an A-level getting a nickname in the base surely has extraordinary aspects, but he wasn’t interested in finding out.

The important thing was that he discovered some other anomaly, behind this vine, there were some other chaotic auras.

He carefully perceived it, discovered the aura of other attributes, then remembered the couples who were hugging around last time.

"So this place has become a rendezvous spot for those wild lovebirds?" For a moment, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Actually, the space behind the vine was very cramped, suffocatingly small.

However, for wild lovebirds... they naturally preferred smaller spaces, even if they had to stack up, that would be best.

In short, what Xiao Moshan said back then, that after A-level, one could sense some auras, really wasn’t a lie.

In this small space, he even sensed four different auras.

Meaning, two couples had once met here, but as for what exactly they did, he couldn’t really perceive that.

The lingering aura was really old, at least three days ago.

Also, it was fortunate that he was skilled in wood attribute, he could perceive some residual information from the vine, and... it wasn’t very ventilated here.

Youyou noticed his strange expression, asked to understand, and then felt a bit annoyed, her face even reddened.

"These people... with the base being so big, other, other places won’t do?"

Qu Jianlei nonchalantly remarked, "There are always some young people full of energy, you should understand."

Of course, I understand! Youyou lightly took a breath, "I mean, this place is no longer safe."

"What’s unsafe about it?" Qu Jianlei thought she was merely overthinking, "This is a public place!"

"We’re already inside, we ought to respect who came first, right?"

Youyou remained silent for a long time without speaking.

Qu Jianlei felt he might have said something wrong, then she spoke up, "Then... how would you explain it?"

"What explanation is needed?" Qu Jianlei responded confidently, "Just say it’s the Supreme’s orders to install equipment!"

He didn’t know if what he said was right or not, but since the Supreme generally didn’t interact with people, using it as an excuse wouldn’t hurt, right?

You’re really doomed to be single! Youyou secretly gritted her teeth, "What you said... is also valid!"

So the two of them stayed in the vine, no one disturbed them on the first day, and indeed someone came on the second day.

But hearing a man and a woman talking inside the vine, a couple exchanged glances and immediately left.

The base was indeed very strictly managed, but some things involving human nature really weren’t manageable by rules and regulations.

Qu Jianlei and the other stayed there for a full three days,

On the fourth day, they felt they couldn’t stay any longer.

Youyou first expressed, "I feel the patrols in the first half of the night have relaxed, is this... have the rules changed?"

Qu Jianlei also had this feeling; his Perception Ability is even stronger than Youyou’s.

"Then let’s first go to the dock nearby and find a suitable place to build a safehouse."

The dock is the place where Interstellar Spaceships land, located in a corner of the base.

However, Youyou mentioned that large ships can’t be accommodated there, but the dock is expandable.

Anyway, it’s definitely worth taking a look first.

Qu Jianlei always liked to operate in complex weather; this was a rare adventure in ordinary weather.

The security around the dock is very tight, which is understandable. Such an important place would surely be heavily guarded.

But their chosen timing seemed just right, as they reached the vicinity of the dock without any major incidents.

Actually, they’re still over three hundred meters away from the dock and can’t get any closer.

Qu Jianlei searched the surroundings for a long time but couldn’t find a suitable place to build a safehouse.

"Someone’s in that tree...!" Youyou also noticed new movement, "I wonder if they’re defenders or opportunists."

She discovered them, so logically, they should have noticed her too, but there was no response.

"They should be the defenders," Qu Jianlei concluded, "Opportunists would run once discovered!"

He believed that real defenders would be used to various probes.

There are so many curious people that it’s impossible to manage them all. As long as no substantial harm is intended to the dock, the other side probably won’t bother with it.

Youyou was unsure if he was right, but Mo Huaitian had advised before their arrival—to listen to Jian Lei.

The two observed until nearly dawn but couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation, though Qu Jianlei did find a suitable hiding spot.

It was a warning station, or rather just a watch post.

The post featured a watchtower that was over ten meters high, with a small courtyard beneath it, staffed with quite a few personnel and various high-end equipment.

Ultimately, this is a facility related to the base, serving the dock.

Whether the dock will actually be used or not is debatable, but the base’s necessary preparations must be ready.

In summary, all kinds of Electromagnetic signals are in chaos—at least relatively speaking.

For warriors of other attributes, places with dense surveillance and alarms are quite unfriendly, as they might expose them if they’re not careful.

But Qu Jianlei liked it, "This place is just right for using the Spiritual Attribute."

Next to a slender tree, Youyou cautiously encouraged the growth of a clump of shrubs.

Then the two dug some soil out from below, hid inside, and covered themselves with a thin layer of grass.

When they first hid, the space was very cramped.

However, under the cover of a slight Spiritual fluctuation, Qu Jianlei dug out more soil and put it in a Storage Ring.

This was done in broad daylight; if it were elsewhere, he’d definitely not dare do it so casually.

In fact, during this process, several people showed some curiosity about this place.

But besides spiritual fluctuations, Qu Jianlei could also emit Electromagnetic waves.

The weak Electromagnetic fluctuation not only affected people’s perception but even made some equipment in the warning station trigger alarms.

However, these Electromagnetic anomalies disappear as quickly as they arise, often ending by the time staff notice them.

This is thanks to Qu Jianlei’s ability to perform precise operations due to his Spiritual Perception.

For the staff on duty, such anomalous Electromagnetic fluctuations appeared rather frequently today.

Nonetheless, as the signals were weak, they did not garner much attention.

Some head staff made arrangements, "First observe space for any recent activities."

This is the procedure for handling Electromagnetic anomalies, initially considering external interference like solar flares or cosmic rays.

However, if no anomalies are observed, but these fluctuations continue frequently, the surroundings will be inspected.

Yet, Qu Jianlei had already achieved his goal by then, seeking only a slightly more comfortable hiding space.

By the next day, such anomalies ceased to exist, and the staff let the matter pass, not pursuing it further.

They primarily guide and warn for Interstellar Spaceships; as long as there are no issues, why cause trouble for themselves?

Another day passed with rain, but as no ship arrived, Qu Jianlei and Youyou took no major actions.

After three days of waiting, a spaceship finally landed that night.

Qu Jianlei, living through two lifetimes, had never seen an Interstellar Spaceship before.

The spaceship was over three hundred meters long, one hundred meters wide, and over thirty meters high.

At this moment, he finally understood why there was such a vast stretch of towering trees surrounding the area.

However, Youyou expressed regret, "This spaceship... is still a bit small."

Qu Jianlei knew he had no standing to speak on the matter, so he simply asked, "Is this ship inadequate?"

Youyou gave a straightforward answer, "Do we have the luxury to choose now? Let’s see if there’s a chance to board it."
