Chapter 1260: Chapter 432: The Detected Anomaly (6k)
"Your Highness, the intelligence on those undead!"
After the last communication, Bai Yi stayed by Shang Jiās side, waiting for half a day. Finally, her patience paid off as the second communication came through.
Bai Yi originally worried that the undead might have been discovered, considering there were several high-level strong persons there, and according to the memories of the captured hunting team, there was even an 8th Rank Mechanical Master among them.
Her understanding of technology was profound, but without directly confronting them, she couldnāt guarantee if the 8th Rank Mechanical Master had the ability to detect the undead roaming within the machines.
At least for now, it seemed she had been overthinking.
Whether the 8th Rankās skills were insufficient, or the abilities she bestowed upon the undead were powerful, she won this confrontation.
"It seems those undead succeeded. Theyāve been quiet for so long. If it werenāt for the silence from the Heroic Spirit Hall, Iād think theyād been caught...
What intelligence was reported back?"
Bai Yi excitedly waved her right hand and asked.
However, upon seeing the intelligence from the communicator, Shang Jiās expression turned serious, shifting from his initial dismissive attitude.
"Itās all data and records extracted by the undead from a particular database of that headquarters. It appears to be information from the Star Port they accessed.
The information is quite complex, and obtaining more detailed intelligence will require time for analysis."
Shang Ji spoke in a serious tone, already entering a working state of mind.
The volume of data in this set of information exceeded her expectations, but thanks to Bai Yiās enhancements, her mind was comparable to a biological computer.
If an ordinary person saw such a large volume of data, coupled with the pressure of a superior urging for results, they would undoubtedly break into a cold sweat immediately.
Yet her abilities gave her absolute confidence, so she immediately used the vast network formed by the Fungus Blanket and witches of Academy Star as a source of computing power to start analyzing the intelligence.
"No problem, since Iāve waited this long, Iām not in a hurry for this moment."
Bai Yi didnāt push or interfere, returning to calmness to wait for Shang Jiās analysis, knowing that getting involved would only cause disruption.
She was self-aware, knowing her involvement would only cause more confusion.
Even if she analyzed some information herself, she might overlook some key points, and Shang Ji would still need to check it over.
The special relationship she had with her subordinate allowed for this acknowledgment. In other situations, subordinates might hesitate to interfere to not undermine their leaderās authority.
Hence, it was better not to get involved from the start.
As she said earlier, she had already waited there for so long; there was no rush for just a moment more.
And Shang Ji didnāt disappoint her. Even though the undead on the other side continued to transmit data, just over an hour passed, and ten minutes after the data transmission stopped, Shang Jiās tightly closed eyes began to show signs of movement.
Bai Yi immediately leaned over, feeling inexplicably tense as she watched Shang Ji slowly open his eyes.
She didnāt know what she was really nervous about, but her mind was already filled with the worst-case scenarios.
Fortunately, Shang Ji eventually smiled.
"Your Highness, good news!"
"Did you uncover the truth about those high-level strong personsā resurrection?!"
Bai Yi asked excitedly, but Shang Ji awkwardly clasped his hands together, lowering his voice.
"Not quite...
As Your Highness knows, those were just the databases of one Star Port. Such high-level secrets wouldnāt be found there.
Unless we capture high-level individuals directly for interrogation, such information is likely only in the core databases of the Three Great Civilizations..."
Bai Yi already knew it was unlikely and calmed down after hearing Shang Jiās explanation.
"True, it was unlikely to be so easily obtained.
Itās a pity about Bet last time. There was a chance to capture alive, but that high-tier unexpectedly was so unyielding.
Even though I had prepared for other Avatars to break through Space with Crimson Descent and act, in the end, the high-tier exploded, forcing us to kill him.
No, maybe he knew the Red Moon Church had means of controlling people and didnāt want to fall into their hands, or he wanted to protect some secret.
He was willing to pay with his Life...
And only the Three Great Civilizations possess such methods.
But what exactly did the Three Great Civilizations do to make a high-tier strong person willing to pay with their Life to keep it secret...
For such a high-tier strong person to be willing to sacrifice Life, the cost or threat must be significant..."
Bai Yi speculated conspiratorially, reflecting on the previous battle with Bet during the wait for undead news, summarizing her thoughts over the past days.
However, without specific intelligence, Bai Yi couldnāt confirm any answers.
But now wasnāt the time to dwell on it, and she quickly refocused on the main topic.
"So, what intelligence was actually gathered?"
"Itās the movements of those high-level strong persons. The intelligence brought back by the undead is indeed targeted.
Within the shipās navigation records and various material transport logs, there are several coordinates that appear with high frequency.
And these coordinates are located in the core territories of the Three Great Civilizations, with many even in the military zones controlled by them.
