Absolute Death Game-Chapter 332 - 100 Secret Base

Xiao Buli decided to return to the city he once lived in largely because he believed that the Ancestral Dragon would least expect him to come back.

As it turned out, Xiao Buli was right. The most dangerous place was indeed the safest. They had spent three to four days in his humble abode without anyone coming after them. It seemed that the reach of the Ancestral Dragon organization was not as terrifying as imagined, at least not as formidable as a national apparatus.

During this time, Xiao had not dared to log into the game, partly for fear of being discovered by the Ancestral Dragon and partly because he had not yet planned his next move.

"Do you plan to keep hiding like this?" Qin Shimoon stood at the bedroom door, holding a cup of water. She was wearing a loose, oversized nightgown that, coupled with her girlish figure and appearance, gave her an adorable homely-girl charm.

However, after spending these few days with Qin Shimoon, Xiao Buli had already grasped her personality, which was definitely not in line with that of a homely girl.

These last couple of days, the living room had become Xiao Buli’s temporary hangout. Currently, he lay on the couch, flipping through TV channels aimlessly. In reality, his mind was not on the television; whenever his thoughts were in motion, it hardly mattered what he watched.

Hearing Qin Shimoon’s voice, Xiao Buli snapped back to reality and looked at her inquisitively, realizing he hadn’t caught what she’d just said. Seeing his gaze, she continued, "This place may be safe for now, but sooner or later, the Ancestral Dragon and Qilin Group will find you. Now that you know so much, do you think they’ll let you off easily?" Considering their actions towards her, it was not hard to imagine their attitude towards Xiao Buli. It was only a matter of time, and with the strength of the Ancestral Dragon, sending a few people to cause trouble was enough to give Xiao a hard time.

Hearing her words, Xiao Buli smiled faintly. He could see she had been restless these days, probably because her busy and tense life before had left her struggling to adapt to the idleness of the past few days. It seemed that her heart was getting restless too. He just wondered what she planned to do next. "Have any ideas? Let’s hear them." Xiao patted the single-seater sofa next to him, gesturing for her to come sit.

Qin Shimoon obediently walked over, taking a sip from her cup. "Don’t you plan to meet up with your people? After all, there’s strength in numbers."

Xiao Buli, noncommittally pursing his lips, said, "I did have that plan initially, but after the assassination attempt on you, I think better of it. Who knows when those people from the Ancestral Dragon will come back around. I don’t want to bring danger to my brothers. Speaking of which, what’s your stance towards the Ancestral Dragon now?"

Faced with Xiao’s question, Qin Shimoon, usually as cold as ice, revealed a sneer—though just a sneer, it still managed to pleasantly surprise Xiao Buli. If this woman truly smiled, it would surely be a delight.

She spoke leisurely, "You might not be aware, but even without the last shooting, I couldn’t go back either. You have no idea how ruthless the Ancestral Dragon is to those who might have betrayed the organization. Not to mention, we both have a Soul Contract binding us. Rest assured, I am on your side." When Qin said the last sentence, she put down her cup and looked intently into Mr. Zhan’s eyes as if to show her determination and sincerity.

Her intense gaze made Mr. Zhan a bit uncomfortable.

"Hahaha, so easily captured? She’s merely feigning allegiance. Can’t you see that?" The sudden voice in his mind startled Xiao Buli. If it weren’t for having heard this voice before, he likely would have jumped up in alarm. Although his face struggled for a moment, Xiao Buli managed not to show significant discomposure.

"So, what do you think I should do next?" Xiao Buli, calming his mood, asked.

Qin Shimoon raised an eyebrow subtly, "If you want to continue the struggle against the Ancestral Dragon and Qilin Group, with your current Strength, it’s clearly a pipe dream." Even though she was right, the scornful tone still irked Xiao Buli. Couldn’t this woman be a bit gentler?

"Therefore, I think you should find a safe place and continue to enhance your abilities," Qin Shimoon continued.

Xiao Buli nodded in agreement, "But where is safe? In the mountains? Abroad? How long do you think it will take the Ancestral Dragon to find me?" This was the problem that had been troubling Xiao Buli, knowing he needed to find a safe place, but as someone who until recently was just a gamer earning money from the organization, it was clear that he lacked the expertise of a professional spy.

"If you trust me, I do know of a place."

"Oh? Let’s hear it," Xiao Buli said as he sat up from the couch upon hearing Qin Shimoon’s words.

"You believe that? Have you lost your mind? She’s just luring you, leading you into a trap set by the Ancestral Dragon." Xiao Buli rolled his eyes, trying his best to ignore the disruption of the voice.

Qin Shimoon, seeing the expression on Xiao Buli’s face, abruptly stood up from the sofa. "If you don’t believe it, forget it," she said and turned to enter the room. She couldn’t hear what the voice was saying but had clearly seen Xiao Buli roll his eyes disdainfully after hearing her words, thinking Xiao Buli didn’t believe her.

"Come back, sit down." Xiao Buli, of course, knew she had misunderstood, but explaining would expose his weakness, so he commanded instead. Qin Shimoon reluctantly sat back down on the sofa.

"Where is this place you’re talking about?"

Qin Shimoon wriggled in her seat, her expression turning as cold as ice as if she was bound by a Soul Contract and had no choice but to speak, she said emotionlessly, "You know that General Huo had once organized a certain scientific research department for experiments. After the failure of the experiment, that base was abandoned. Even though it’s an abandoned base, the security level at the beginning of its construction was very high. An ordinary person would never find it, and even if they did, they couldn’t get in." Though her voice was monotone, this information excited Xiao Buli greatly—the secret base, just the sound of it revealed how secure it must be.

"But, doesn’t General Huo know about that place?" Xiao Buli raised his doubt.

"Do you think a person like General Huo would willingly return to a place where he had suffered a severe setback?" Qin Shimoon asked with the same tone as Xiao Buli.

Xiao Buli certainly had thought of this point and a broad smile spread across his face. "So, the base is unmanned now?"

"As far as I know, the base is in a remote location with harsh conditions, and it’s not really a military base; there’s no need for it to be manned. Moreover, the base was tailored for General Huo’s project, so after the failure, it was buried on the spot, and all traces of its existence were erased. Even the local residents might not be aware that such a place ever existed—if there were people living near the base at all."

"Er, then how are we supposed to find it?" From the sound of Qin Shimoon, the base was practically nonexistent, and even if it did exist, it would be unfindable. It was safe enough, but how was he supposed to find it?

"In the archives of the National Archives Bureau, there are files on that scientific research project," Qin Shimoon said, once again meeting Xiao Buli’s gaze directly. He understood without her needing to go on. With the files, there would naturally be an address, and possibly even details on the final steps of dismantling the project. So all they had to do was to find that file, and they would most likely learn the exact location of the base. With his abilities, entering an abandoned base shouldn’t be difficult.

"How could she be so kind to help you, she must have an ulterior motive; if you trust this kind of woman, you’re definitely a dead man." That voice in his head rang out again.

"SHUT UP." Xiao Buli shouted back in his mind, irritated.

"Hahaha, you think so too, right?" Unexpectedly, the voice seemed pleased with Xiao Buli’s engagement and started to laugh happily. Perhaps this was its true intention.

Xiao Buli calmed himself, "But what’s in it for you to do this?" He looked straight into Qin Shimoon’s eyes, hoping to catch a hint from her response.

"The Ancestral Dragon wants to kill me; since I have survived, naturally, I won’t let him rest easy. I lack the strength, but you have it. What do you think I stand to gain?" Qin Shimoon replied with poise, her blatant willingness to use Xiao Buli not marred by a trace of embarrassment.

Xiao Buli heard this and laughed. If Qin Shimoon had professed altruistic motives or mentioned repaying the debt of saving her life, Xiao Buli would have been more inclined to distrust her. But her candor seemed reasonable, and any lingering doubts in Xiao Buli’s mind evaporated. "Great! Then our next target—the National Archives Bureau. Do you have a plan?"

"Of course." Qin Shimoon nodded. "The Ancestral Dragon is, after all, somewhat of a subordinate organization of the court, so they do have some interactions. If you’re really set on this, I could find the location of the archives and the precise location of those files for you. But as to how you get your hands on them, that’s up to you."

Xiao Buli nodded, "Then let’s do it."

After speaking, Xiao Buli lay back down on the sofa, his remote control flipping through channels incessantly. The National Archives Bureau was a highly secretive place with rigorous security, but with his current capabilities, it was not completely beyond possibility.

Qin Shimoon nodded her head and stood up with her cup of water. As she turned around, she couldn’t suppress the upward twitch of her lips. (To be continued.
