Finally, Gray added, "The strength of our base is actually very formidable. We have various weapons and even have a connection with the deities on the red sun! I sincerely advise you to leave as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Waldo looked up at the perpetually unsetting red sun in the sky, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Is there really a deity in this world?

Gray nodded and then shook his head. "Actually, there weren’t any before, but they appeared after the cataclysmic event. It is said that the first group of crazed individuals who underwent self-genetic modifications traveled to the red sun using special means, their strength skyrocketed, and they became deities!"

Waldo sneered. "And they dare call themselves deities? Watch me slay them."

Gray’s expression turned grim. But there was nothing he could do. Whatever Waldo said, he could only nod and agree, even if he hated Waldo to the core. He wished he could kill Waldo, the outsider, immediately.

"You’re doomed," he thought to himself.

Because he had already informed the Third Base of Waldo’s message. It wouldn’t be long before the ten elders would arrive to capture this outsider. At this moment, Waldo spoke, "Alright, I’m done with my questions. You can go!"

"Okay!" Gray hesitated for a moment, then felt immense joy.

I’m alive!

Without a second thought, he ran towards the window. In a flash, he leaped out and soared into the sky, quickly distancing himself.

"Waldo, are you really letting him go? He definitely won’t let this go. Is it too hasty to let him leave like this?" Alanna urgently spoke.

She watched everything that happened here clearly through the live broadcast. When she saw Waldo letting Gray go, she couldn’t help but worry.

She knew she couldn’t disturb Waldo casually. However, Waldo’s decision now was indeed a bit hasty.

Waldo smiled slightly.

Who said I’m letting him go? He’s as good as dead.

Waldo arrived at the hole that Gray had smashed through, a glint of something unusual in his eyes. Then, Gray, who was flying, suddenly realized in horror that his jet propulsion was no longer working, suffering from a severe malfunction.

And then, even more despairing was the fact that his two arms and two mechanical legs were rapidly heating up.

"Ahhhh!"

Gray screamed in despair as his body plummeted from the sky. At the same time, his limbs turned bright red.

Then, with a loud bang...

BOOM!

A massive ball of fire appeared in the sky, dazzling and brilliant.

Gray couldn’t be more dead.

"Let you go? How is that possible? With your desire for my death, based on that alone, I would never let you leave. Not to mention, as members of different factions, we’re destined to be enemies. There’s no way I would let you go!"

Waldo sneered.

This time, capturing this underground giant named Gray yielded significant gains. He gained a deep understanding of this world. It was indeed a highly developed and advanced world. However, he had dug his own grave and ended up playing himself to death.

How powerful were the so-called gods on the red sun in the sky?

Furthermore, did this world really have only a handful of people in the bases? Could there be more giants, currently in slumber, that he was unaware of?

Many thoughts flashed through Waldo’s mind.

However, he didn’t dwell on these questions for too long. He pushed forward directly, knowing that one would eventually grasp the truth of this world by facing challenges head-on.

If a crisis emerged that he truly couldn’t handle, he could simply run away. No one could stop him from fleeing alone. After all, he had too many means to save himself.

Domineering body, teleportation, flight, shadow clones, invisibility, and so on—all were means of self-preservation. He had them all at his disposal. Assemble!

Waldo ordered.

Soon, over three thousand advanced combat robots arrived on the streets in front of him, flooding the streets. This city had little value. We’ll head straight to the underground giant’s third base and conquer their city. Now! Let’s go!

At Waldo’s command, thousands of advanced combat robots immediately set off toward their destination.

During the interrogation, Waldo obtained a map of the underwater world.

They also inquired about the location of the Third Base.

The Third Base was the closest to them, only a little over two hundred kilometers away.

At this moment, about two hundred kilometers from Waldo and the others, in the vast and desolate expanse of land, stood an enormous oval-shaped superstructure.

The architectural style of the entire building exuded a sense of solemnity.

This was the Third Base of the underwater world.

And at this moment, inside a conference room of the Third Base, various images were being displayed.

It was the footage of Waldo killing Gray.

The Third Base had long restored the surveillance system of that city.

The primary purpose was to monitor the behavior of zombies and mutants for research purposes.

Gray was one of their members sent on missions.

Just moments ago, they received news of Gray being in danger.

Simultaneously, they also received a piece of information that they couldn’t afford to ignore.

An outsider had appeared!

The individual was not from this world but hailed from another world.

As for how they arrived, it wasn’t quite clear.

After receiving the news, almost all six elders who were stationed at the Third Base, except for some who were on external missions, rushed to the highest conference room in the base to discuss the matter.

At this moment, the six elders gazed at Waldo in the footage, their faces serious.

"Is this person the outsider? Look at him, he’s just slightly taller than our knees. What sets him apart from ants? But the aura and strength he displays are terrifying!" said the First Elder of the base, looking at Waldo in the footage, his expression grim.

He was large in stature, towering at two to three zhang in height, like a small mountain. His voice was heavy and deep.

"Yes, this kind of short stature is definitely nonexistent in our world. There’s only one possibility; he comes from a different world! The most likely scenario is that he comes from the surface world!" another giant said.

He was the Ninth Elder of the base.

All ten elders were formidable beings at the Red Sun level, and they were not ranked in terms of strength. The titles were primarily based on the time they became elders. Their status, influence, and strength were all on par.

The Ninth Elder recalled a rumor he had heard before. Prior to the world catastrophe, some individuals had studied the world they lived in.

A daring scientist had pointed out that their world was actually an underwater world. Above this underwater world lay an even broader and more vast surface world.

However, this scientist’s speculation had not been confirmed, and the world was plunged into the Armageddon War, resulting in the scientist’s demise during the conflict. Afterward, no one had further explored this matter.

However, at this moment, as everyone present saw the human in the footage with a significantly different appearance and physique from theirs, they immediately thought of the sensational rumor about the surface world.

"Who would have thought that we haven’t found the surface world yet, but someone from the surface world has found us first! This is a significant discovery!"

Our underwater world is no longer suitable for survival, and resources are nearly depleted. Perhaps the appearance of the surface world can alleviate our situation!

This is not a minor matter; it’s significant and even affects the future development of our entire underwater world. We need to inform others about this matter.

"Yes, we need to inform the major bases, and even notify those entities on the Red Sun," everyone chimed in, talking rapidly and making decisions without much contemplation.

Even those usually indifferent to mundane matters on the Red Sun need to be informed! At this moment, the Seventh Elder spoke up, "Should we awaken those dormant beings?"

The First Elder shook his head. "Not yet. Let’s see what the entities on the Red Sun think. If they have ideas, then we can awaken those old folks who are in slumber!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. "Alright, Gray is dead. Let’s first meet this human from the surface. His strength should not be weak. Let’s see if we can obtain useful information from him!"

"Wait, let’s not be hasty. He will come to us. Why rush?" one of them said.

"That’s right. Let’s keep the surface world’s matters confidential for now. Once we gather enough information, we can negotiate and gain the maximum benefits!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

They continued discussing. Upon hearing the First Elder’s suggestion, everyone nodded in agreement.

Soon, they made a decision to hold their ground for the time being! They would wait for Waldo to come to them.

At that moment, they planned to lure this surface-dwelling human into a trap! Then, they would do everything in their power to pry more useful and valuable information from him.

Finally, they would disclose the information about the surface world.

At that time, the third base, armed with a wealth of information, would have the upper hand in negotiations. They could secure greater benefits during the distribution of interests.

Once the action plan was confirmed, the elders present organized the specific details in a nervous and orderly manner.

In order to ensure a foolproof plan and successfully capture this surface-dwelling human, they also recalled several elders who were executing tasks outside. Together, they set up a dragnet, waiting for Waldo’s arrival.

This surface-dwelling human seemed quite arrogant and was not afraid of what dangers might lie ahead. He was audacious. Such individuals, regardless of their strength, often met a swift demise!

A subterranean giant was monitoring Waldo’s actions and came to this conclusion, sneering. The expression was full of disdain and mockery.

He’s as good as dead!
