Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared-Chapter 1630: Strange Device

With everyone’s concerted efforts, they finally defeated all the enemies and took over the weapon base.

At this moment, everyone couldn’t believe it — always at a disadvantage, they actually managed to achieve such a great victory, with morale soaring to an unprecedented level.

Gu Fan was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Just one win and you’re this excited; how badly did you lose before that it’s unbearable to watch."

This undoubtedly touched the sore spots of Jie and Lu Yi, who silently shed tears in their hearts.

Gu Xiaojin signaled Gu Fan not to say any more, to avoid dampening everyone’s spirits. The pressing issue now was to figure out what exactly was in this weapon base.

After a thorough search by everyone, they indeed discovered some high-level weapons that were still in research and development; if completed, there would be no point in fighting, and they might as well surrender right away.

Since they couldn’t take these advanced weapons with them, they couldn’t leave them behind either. Under Jie’s command, everyone destroyed all the advanced weapons and the research materials.

However, the weapon base was really too big; they feared that there might still be some powerful weapons undiscovered, so for safety’s sake, Jie decided to blow up the place.

Someone reported that they found a big thing that didn’t look like a weapon, but more like a device for sending signals.

Driven by curiosity, everyone headed to a large laboratory and indeed saw a huge device, somewhat similar to a signal transmitter, and it also resembled a telescope for observing the universe.

A few scientists were captured and brought over, shaking and very frightened.

Jie said, "Don’t worry, we’re just here to overthrow X Legion; it’s not about targeting you. We know you can’t help it. I won’t make things difficult for you, but you have to tell us what this thing is for."

The scientists were trembling with fear, none dares to speak because anyone who spilled secrets would be in trouble.

Jie knew what the scientists were afraid of, so he frowned and said, "What’s the matter, you won’t talk? Don’t tell me you don’t even know what you’ve been developing and what it’s for."

Leng Feng also joined in to scare them: "Are you afraid of what X Legion will do to you after leaking secrets? Aren’t you scared that we might just get rid of you right now?"

"Alright, I’ll talk!" A scientist gathered the courage to speak up, explaining the function of the device — indeed, it could be used to receive signals from the universe or to send signals into space.

Under normal circumstances, they would send out specific signals in a particular direction in space at regular intervals, but even the scientists couldn’t understand these signals; they just transmitted them according to orders.

Gu Xiaojin then expressed doubt: "Why transmit signals into space? Why explore the universe? Could it be that he wants to contact extraterrestrials?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan furrowed his brow, and the others also thought of something, all looking towards Gu Fan.

If they weren’t mistaken, the man in the mysterious mask wanted to make contact with the ancient Super Civilization in the universe. Why do this? Aren’t they afraid that if the ancient Super Civilization returns to this world, with their level of civilization they could easily take control here?

"Damn it, what on earth is the future me thinking? Have I gone mad?" Gu Fan really couldn’t understand what his future self would have gone through.

When Gu Fan looked to the others for an answer, he saw that they were just as baffled.

Years ago, after Gu Fan had overthrown various power brokers and restored order, he also faced abandonment by everyone. Even Su Hui eventually left Gu Fan.

So neither Jie nor Lu Yi knew what Gu Fan’s plans were or why he wanted to contact the ancient Super Civilization.

"Could it be...?" Gu Fan’s heart sank. He had never understood what mission the Destiny Stone had laid out for him, and since the Destiny Stone was created by the ancient Super Civilization, that meant it was the ancient Super Civilization that sent Gu Fan on this mission. Could this mission be to lead the ancient Super Civilization’s return here?

Everyone found this conjecture far-fetched. Think about it, the man in the mysterious mask is currently unrivaled, everything is under his control; why would he want to bring back those who could rule over him unless he was out of his mind?

Gu Xiaojin had a bold guess that perhaps the Destiny Stone was step by step transforming Gu Fan’s nature, making Gu Fan a slave to the ancient Super Civilization, helping it to return here.

"Has the Destiny Stone changed me?" Gu Fan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, realizing how he was just an ordinary person at first, and after going through so much, he kept getting stronger and stronger, until he became invincible. It was simply incredible.

Now the situation had become complicated. Regardless of what final mission the Destiny Stone gave to Gu Fan, making contact with the ancient Super Civilization didn’t seem to be a good thing. It was better to destroy the device.

"Alright, let me do it!" Lin Yue waved his sword and directly split the device into several pieces, also forcing the scientists to destroy all research materials.

Gu Fan stared blankly at the now scrap signal device; his thoughts were in turmoil. He did not know what he would have to face next — besides his future self, there was an ancient Super Civilization that had always been controlling his fate.

In the past, no matter what kind of powerful enemies Gu Fan faced, he always had the confidence to win. Even with the man in the mysterious mask, he was ready to courageously fight it out. But faced with the ancient Super Civilization, Gu Fan truly felt he stood no chance of winning.

Lu Yi raised a question: "How strange, why do we need to send signals for the ancient Super Civilization to come? Isn’t their technology advanced enough to find their own way back? Or have they lost their way in the vast universe?"

Indeed, what Lu Yi said was spot-on; it was indeed a point of suspicion. If the ancient Super Civilization’s technology was advanced, they would have come back long ago. Why wait for signals from here?

Lin Yue was impatient and reminded everyone: "Enough, we can think about these things later. We need to retreat now. The enemy reinforcements might arrive at any moment, and we still don’t know what kind of tough character is coming."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan felt a bit cheered up. If the mysterious masked man was coming, they might directly confront each other, settling their grudges once and for all.

However, no one planned to stay and fight alongside Gu Fan. They even urged Gu Fan to run quickly because if the mysterious masked man came, it meant that his band of terrible followers would come too.

Currently, the resistance was no match for X Legion, and this was why, despite Lin Yue’s strength, he too needed to retreat immediately. The disparity in strength could be described as worlds apart.

Seeing his comrades so fearful, Gu Fan couldn’t help but lament — did he still have the chance for revenge?
