Lantern Sister is still very capable.

The entire deep-sea base is a training ground on the surface and a prison for ferocious beasts underground.

The defenses were tight, using special glass that could withstand a full-force attack from a level-three alien beast, but no one expected it to be defeated by a rabbit that could dig holes.

The location of Yulin Pavilion is directly connected to the groundwater. Sun Bushan's negligence with the rabbits became the biggest loophole. The mutated water rabbit dug through the small pond, and the three holes connected to the glass domes of the mutated toad, the mutated python, and the piranha. The mutated toad crawled out and was killed by Chu Deng with a single blow. The mutated python was too big to crawl through the hole dug by the rabbits and just had a good meal. The piranha just happened not to discover the hole it had escaped through.

After investigating the cause, the complete information was presented to Hu Lan, which sent a chill down her spine. Fortunately, nothing serious had happened.

Chu Deng and his two companions caused trouble during their nighttime outing, but they also inadvertently discovered a potential danger. Their good deeds and bad deeds canceled each other out, but the three of them were still put in solitary confinement.

Even worse off than the three of them was Sun Bushan, the head of Yulin Pavilion. Because she privately expanded the breeding of mutated rabbits, a loophole appeared in the defense of Yulin Pavilion. Not only did she lose a lot of points, but she also had to participate in the mission of escorting the transfer of the alien beasts imprisoned underground and the underground defense reconstruction project. Originally, she was just a leisurely mentor guiding awakened ones, but now she has suddenly become a very busy person. Not only is she not paid, but her level cannot be updated for five years, which restricts her leveling up. It can be said that one mistake has caused her eternal regret.

But this was also her fault. The child she was taking care of was seriously injured and was still unconscious in the medical ward. Even the confinement procedure could not be carried out. Sun Bushan felt a pang of regret and wanted to go see Jin Xiaoyue, but her colleagues stopped her.

"That Chu Deng is really on his way to the top now, you'd better not go and provoke him."

Sun Bushan had also heard about Chu Deng killing three level-two alien beasts in the underground cage and advancing to level three fire element on the spot. She used to only know that she was a talent favored by Huo Xuan, but now she had become someone that they, as low-level beings, had to look up to. You have to know that even Huo Xuan was only level two!

So, Director Hu Lan personally visited Chu Deng. Chu Deng said she wanted to wait until her friend woke up before putting her in solitary confinement, and Director Hu Lan agreed without hesitation. Now Chu Deng is guarding Jin Xiaoyue's medical pod, and Sun Bushan will run into her when she goes to visit.

“If it’s my fault, I have to take responsibility.” Sun Bushan shook her head, thanked her colleague for his kindness, and then went to the medical room with the gifts.

Upon entering the medical room, Sun Bushan saw a man and a woman sitting on two single sofas, far apart. In the center of the medical room, Jin Xiaoyue lay asleep with her eyes closed in the medical pod.

Chu Deng didn't react when she saw the newcomer, so Meng Qiuhe stood up first and said, "Hello, Professor Sun."

Regarding the whole incident, Meng Qiuhe believed that the fault did not lie with Sun Bushan. The three of them went out for a barbecue in the middle of the night, and if they hadn't gone out, the incident wouldn't have happened. The main problem was that the three of them ate the rabbit meat that Sun Bushan gave to Jin Xiaoyue, which resulted in her being punished. Upon reflection, they were indeed in the wrong.

Sun Bushan, who was initially a little nervous, relaxed for a moment when she saw Meng Qiuhe's friendly attitude. However, when she saw Chu Deng looking at her, she immediately became nervous again. Unexpectedly, Chu Deng also stood up and nodded to her, saying, "Hello."

Sun Bushan stammered, "H-hello."

After saying that, she put the wooden basket filled with the fruits and vegetables she usually used for practicing her supernatural abilities, as well as the mutated rabbit, aside. "I've come to see Jin Xiaoyue."

Chu Deng glanced at the wooden basket. "Yes, thank you."

She was a step too slow not because she was dissatisfied with Sun Bushan, but because she was so engrossed in exploring the port on the Crow Ship of Flying Spirit that she hadn't had time to come to her senses. She had no idea about the night tour. Jin Xiaoyue's injury made her realize that her strength had been somewhat weak, so she unleashed half of her power on the spot, thinking that since Pei Hanxing could reach level three, her own level three shouldn't be too surprising.

Jin Xiaoyue is currently asleep partly because of her injuries, and partly because Chu Deng fed her some things he found underground, as well as a level-three water-type crystal core hidden on her body.

Jin Xiaoyue is currently busy recovering while unconsciously cultivating her supernatural abilities, and her condition is quite good.

Chu Deng didn't need to be guarded at all, but if she were to be put in solitary confinement, it would make her seem heartless and arouse more suspicion, so she could only stay in the medical room and watch her best friend sleep soundly.

Seeing that Chu Deng did not stop her, Sun Bushan took a few steps closer and examined Jin Xiaoyue closely. She found that Jin Xiaoyue had a rosy complexion and was in good condition while lying in the medical pod, which relieved her of a great weight in her heart.

Meng Qiuhe is usually good at handling things, but he wasn't in the mood to talk right now and just stood there quietly.

"Excuse me." Sun Bushan stood there for a while. Jin Xiaoyue hadn't woken up, so her presence was superfluous. In addition, the temporarily assigned task was urging her to leave, so she didn't stay long. Before leaving, she cautiously glanced back at Chu Deng. Seeing that Chu Deng didn't seem to have any objections to her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She was just an honest and honest logistics civil servant, and she really couldn't afford to offend the rising star of the action team.

Even if Director Hu Lan hasn't announced it yet, anyone with a brain knows the importance of a level three fire elementalist. The position of base squad leader is guaranteed, and he might even be directly recommended to the Dragon Group. He could be promoted to level four in three years and level five in ten years. It's not impossible for him to become a level five expert before the age of 30.

However, Sun Bushan suddenly thought, "I heard that Director Hu Lan doesn't like fire-type ability users..." Then she shook her head. Even if she didn't like them, she couldn't openly suppress them. Anyway, they were people she couldn't afford to offend. She should just honestly make amends for her mistakes.

Hu Lan, who was suspected by Sun Bushan of trying to make things difficult for Chu Deng, was looking at the registration form sent by the personal terminal with a headache. She sighed and muttered to herself in worry, "Why did she have to be promoted at this crucial moment?"

The "List of Fire-Type Ability Users Assigned to the Southeast Front in 2068" lay quietly in Hu Lan's back-end computer, with the names of three Level 2 fire-type ability users—Li Shengtian, Bai Xinxin, and Zhang Quanming—already filled in.

The highest-ranking fire-type ability users publicly listed at the Haishi base—no, it should be said that at all the national bases—are only at level two. Hu Lan filled out three level two assignments to the Southeast Front, which is already considered quite respectable.

But the irony is that Chu Deng jumped from level one to level three in one go, which made Hu Lan very embarrassed.

Send it away; it would hurt her to lose it. The symbolic significance of a level three fire elemental is greater than its combat effectiveness. Even if Hu Lan was supported to this position by stepping on the fire element, her stance could change at any time in the face of the country's future policies and directions. On the surface, she could maintain her political stance of suppressing the fire element, but secretly, it was not impossible for her to cooperate with future fire elemental powerhouses.

If she doesn't give it away, Hu Lan will not only lose her future, but she will also immediately offend the superhumans in the southeast. Their hometown is suffering from an insect infestation, and you have insecticide but would rather hide it than lend it out. You're just stirring up hatred.

Choosing the lesser of two options, Hu Lan had no choice but to delete Bai Xinxin's name and replace it with Chu Deng's.

Bai Xinxin is close to Hua Zhongli, so it's good that she stays. Besides, she has a connection with Chu Deng, so it's perfect for her to report on it.

The remaining two are Zhang Quanming, an old hand in the fire system of the Haishi base, who had previously instigated the fire system of the base to not cooperate with Wu Qingyun. It would be good if he were sent away to die. The other is a fire system recruit who, although he quickly rose from level one to level two, is relatively weak-willed and not capable of great things. He is not worth her effort to protect.

Hu Lan glanced at Chu Deng's name one last time, calmed her turbulent emotions, clicked submit, and shut down the personal terminal.

I hope she comes back alive...
