After taking control of the headquarters, Little Four quickly found the lucky Xiao Yiqiu, as he was only just tossed into a room and unconscious.

Tang Ningyu and Mu Chaoran split the workload. Tang Ningyu guarded the corridor to make sure those in the headquarters didn't escape before the military arrived, while Mu Chaoran silently went deeper into the headquarters to look for Xiao Yiqiu.

However, a sudden change surprised the two of them greatly. The originally chaotic and panic-filled headquarters, slowly became orderly. This made Tang Ningyu, who was guarding the corridor, suspect that something was off. Could it be that their guess was off? Is the boss of the headquarters still supervising the headquarters?

Seeing this change, Mu Chaoran also became more cautious. He didn't want to get trapped in this headquarters before he could save Xiao Yiqiu. He had already personally experienced a t.i.tled domain realm master's terrifying capabilities. If that t.i.tled domain realm master was in the headquarters, or perhaps there were similar level experts within the headquarters, he probably wouldn't be able to stall them until the military arrived.

Mu Chaoran hid within the darkness. Right when he was thinking about how he would find Xiao Yiqiu, two staff members of the headquarters suddenly walked past him. They spoke softly as they walked past him.

"That's odd. Why would the higher-ups order us to move the material in Room Q1 to Room F7?" Normally, a material would only be moved from a room if the modifications were successful or a complete failure. Otherwise, the material would be left in the room for its entire life."

"That's enough, don't say anymore. Ever since yesterday afternoon, the orders from the higher-ups began to be confusing. Now we're only changing the room of a material, there's nothing weird about that," said the other staff member nonchalantly.

"Do you think something happened?" Every since yesterday afternoon, the orders of the higher-ups seemed to be extremely odd. The lower-ranked staff members could feel something was in the air, and also began to suspect whether something had happened to the headquarters…

"Who knows.." the other staff member said dazedly.

"Sigh!" The two of them sighed and shook their heads as they walked towards Room Q1. They were all at the bottom of the chain of command. When the higher-ups were still in the headquarters, they didn't have a chance to run even if they wanted to. They could only obey the orders given to them.

After hearing the conversation between the two of them, Mu Chaoran suddenly had a thought, and he followed behind them. Since he didn't have any idea where to look for Xiao Yiqiu, he should follow them, maybe he could find more clues.

Room Q1 was somewhat far away. Mu Chaoran carefully hid from everyone he had encountered along the way and finally arrived at the so-called Room Q1 mentioned by the two staff members.

Room Q1 was actually the first room in a long corridor of rooms. The rooms all had Q in their names. Each room's design was very simple and crude, all the room just had one bed, a dresser and a tiny washroom.

The two staff members used some equipment to open the door. Behind the door, an unconscious person was lying on the bed. Right as the two of them were about to lift up that person, Mu Chaoran saw the familiar scout uniform and had a thought.

"Bam! Bam!" Mu Chaoran instantly knocked out the two staff members.

Mu Chaoran carefully used the equipment in their hands to close the door of the room. Then, he walked towards the bed and smiled, "That was really easy, no effort required!"

It turns out, it was Xiao Yiqiu who was lying on the bed. Mu Chaoran quickly checked around and instantly let out a sigh of relief. Xiao Yiqiu was only tranquilized and wasn't injured.

Soldiers on missions always had life-saving medicinal agents on them. Mu Chaoran quickly took out a vial of medicinal agent and made Xiao Yiqiu gulp it down.

Not long after, Xiao Yiqiu began to slowly open his eyes. After seeing Mu Chaoran's face, he was instantly surprised and almost shouted. However, he quickly reacted and softly said, "Meng Shaoran, you got captured as well?"

Mu Chaoran glared at him. "You're the one who got captured. I'm here to rescue you."

"Just yourself?" Xiao Yiqiu instantly became nervous. "Do you want to die? There are domain realm masters here."

"Don't worry, the troops the military sent will be here soon. We just need to wait until then." Mu Chaoran didn't want to explain that he was a domain realm master. He only told Xiao Yiqiu that they were going to be safe soon.

Xiao Yiqiu was a smart person and immediately said, "You're a soldier!" He thought of their current situation and said, "You're here to investigate the organization, right?"

Xiao Yiqiu didn't wait for Mu Chaoran to answer and said angrily, "Sh*t, we really have been harmed by this organization. You don't know, the Xiao family…"

"Stop! Su Pei already told me!" Mu Chaoran's lips twitched. He didn't think that Xiao Yiqiu was actually the talkative type! He hated being with talkative types.

"Ah, Su Pei! Oh, is Su Pei alright?" Xiao Yiqiu immediately asked as he was reminded by Mu Chaoran about Su Pei who had tried to escape with him.

"He's luckier than you, and has returned safely," Mu Chaoran replied. In reality, he wanted to save Xiao Yiqiu not just because of Su Pei's request. It was because in the forest he had chosen to save Su Pei and not Xiao Yiqiu. Although he was forced to do so, he still felt that he did Xiao Yiqiu wrong.

"That's good…" Xiao Yiqiu let out a sigh of relief and was happy that Su Pei was able to safely escape. Then, he looked at the monotone room surrounding him and smiled bitterly, "Unfortunately, we don't know when we can leave this G.o.d forsaken place…"

"Bang!" Suddenly, a loud quaking sound made Xiao Yiqiu, who hadn't completely recovered, almost roll off the bed.

Mu Chaoran smirked slightly, "It seems the military is here." It seemed that those fake domain realm masters have already been taken care of by the military.

After hearing this news while trying to balance his body, Xiao Yiqiu's eyes brightened, "Are we saved?"

"That's definitely the case. You wait here, I'm going to see what's happening outside…" Mu Chaoran opened the door and ran out.

The door close once again and the room became silent. At that moment, Xiao Yiqiu had a big smile on his face. He softly said, "Mu Chaoran, Tang Ningyu, I look forward in becoming your comrades!"

Ling Lan, who turned into mist, went past Tang Ningyu and returned to the surface.

Tang Ningyu frowned and looked back at the empty corridor behind him. He didn't know why but he felt as though something had gone past him just now… If it was possible, he wanted to activate his domain to lock down the area, but unfortunately his domain was too loud. Plus, the military hadn't arrived yet. He also didn't know whether there were any hidden experts within the headquarters, making Tang Ningyu not dare to expose himself.

"It's probably nothing. Only t.i.tled domain realm masters can silently leave under my watchful eyes. If there were t.i.tled domain realm masters in the headquarters, how could they let an invader like me come in?" Tang Ningyu thought that it wasn't possible, so he tossed aside the odd feeling he had.
