Zeus-1 quietly dropped him off at the back of Arachnid 3 and let him land on the planet.
Afterwards, Lan Jue did his best to conceal his presence. He snuck into the base and found the patrol ship he'd been waiting for.
Su Xiaosu knew the pirates too well. She knew the importance of transporting supplies.
It would have been difficult for anyone else to infiltrate the ship. But for Lan Jue, it was a piece of cake. With his Discipline, as long as there was electricity, he could sneak in.
That's why he was here.
The Red Spiders really knew how to enjoy themselves. The metal box he chose was filled with fine wine.
The other boxes were mainly filled with food, and there were no other resources.
Unfortunately, to him, these wines were of inferior quality. Otherwise, it would have been a good choice to fly while drinking wine.
The patrol ship flew steadily toward the home planet. All Lan Jue needed to do now was meditate.
Then he waited in silence.
At his current level of training, he could conceal his presence. No equipment could detect him.
The reason was simple. Almost all scanners relied on electricity. All Lan Jue needed to do was simulate the signal, and he'd be able to avoid detection.
The patrol ship vibrated, a sign it was entering the atmosphere.
Lan Jue woke up from his meditation.
In the dark metal box, his eyes were especially bright, emitting a faint light.
He didn't have any objections to this mission.
After all, he hadn't participated in any of the missions the Legion had.
As a captain, it was only right for him to take the lead.
Another half hour passed.
The patrol ship shook violently.
Evidently, he had already landed.
Lan Jue's body glowed with a faint blue light.
He remained in the metal box, motionless.
It didn't take long for a specialized scanner to scan the metal boxes one by one. This was to prevent anyone from sneaking in under the pretense of transporting supplies.
Inwardly, Lan Jue sighed in admiration. The Red Widows were a far cry from what he'd known before.
This was practically military management. Even the military bases of the three Major Leagues might not have such strict control.
Back when he was still the Mercenary King, if Zeus 1 had chosen this place as his target, it would have been very difficult for him to get away with it.
After the scan was completed, the robot began to move the items.
One after another, huge metal boxes were moved down from the spaceship.
They were loaded onto a transport truck and transported.
According to the procedure, these materials would be moved to the warehouse for inventory and storage.
From there, the delivery would be completed.
Lan Jue was not anxious at all. He waited until the transport vehicle slowly drove away before he released his consciousness and sensed everything in the outside world.
With the tight security of the Red Tarantulas, the security of the spaceship base must be the strictest. That was why he didn't want to go out.
It was safer to wait until they reached a relatively safe place before going out.
With his cultivation, he didn't need to do this.
However, after witnessing the tight security of the Red Tarantulas, it had taught him a lesson.
No matter how strong he was, he had to learn to be cautious.
This was the only way to be safer.
If he had been cautious enough on Skyfire, perhaps he wouldn't have been so flustered by the Astral Phantom's attack, and he wouldn't have gotten Qian Lin into trouble.
Thinking of this, Lan Jue couldn't help but feel a twinge of pain in his heart.
He missed the days when he took care of Zhou Qianlin. He hoped that Qian Lin would wake up from her deep sleep as soon as possible.
At least then he would be able to see her every day!
After a while, he felt that the environment outside was basically safe.
Only then did Lan Jue place his hand on the metal box. With a flash of electricity, he silently appeared outside the metal box.
He floated out of the car, and in a flash, Lan Jue hid in a dark corner.
Looking up into the sky, he saw that this was a large base.
There were metal buildings all around him.
Lan Jue loved this kind of environment. In an environment like this, he would undoubtedly be able to unleash his power to the fullest.
He leaned against the metal wall behind him. With a flash of electricity, he quietly melted into it.
A moment later, he found himself in an empty metal room.
Huh? Is this a ship warehouse?
Lan Jue spotted a patrol ship parked there. It was brand new, and clearly not in use yet.
It must have been bought recently.
He lifted a hand and placed a round metal object in an unassuming corner.
It was a signal generator. With it, Majesty could use it to scan Arachnid from afar.
With the Blinding Stone, as long as Majesty and Zeus -1 didn't enter Arachnid's electromagnetic defenses, they wouldn't have to worry about being discovered.
Lan Jue found a few more places to put down the signal generator.
Only then did he exit the warehouse.
Su Xiaosu didn't know much about Arachnid's home planet.
What he needed to do now was to complete a scout mission.
Reconnaissance was undoubtedly the most important thing in a war.
Lan Jue had no doubt about that.
There were scanners everywhere. Although Lan Jue could use his Lightning Discipline to hide himself, it would be difficult to sneak into secret areas.
After a simple survey, he gradually understood the situation of the base.
The pirate base on Arachnid's home planet was much larger than he'd expected.
Lan Jue couldn't help but admire it.
If the aliens had chosen to colonize this planet, they'd have suffered a heavy blow.
This was because it was almost impossible to sneak in.
Of course, Arachnid's home planet didn't have the life force that the aliens liked. Not a blade of grass grew on the surface, and there was no water source.
It was obvious that the Red Tarantulas had chosen this place as their base because of the terrain's advantage.
The interior of the base was divided into several areas. One was the living quarters, and the rest was military control.
The division of labor was clear.
Lan Jue even saw mecha pilots training.
The intensity of the training made him more certain that the Red Widows' captain was a general in the past.
His first priority was to locate the planet's electromagnetic defenses.
Only by shutting them down would he be able to proceed to the next step.
Su Xiaosu had named this operation "infiltration."
They had to complete this war without being discovered by the enemy as much as they could.
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Jue sent Majesty back to Lan Jue through an encrypted message.
It was the Accountant's handiwork.
The Red Widows' defenses were tight, but they couldn't compete with the Eastern Alliance in terms of technology.
"Jewelry Master.
The planet's defenses should be in the spire building in the image.
It's very well guarded.
According to my analysis, there are at least a hundred mechas in the area.
At the same time, there were layers of checkpoints inside. Whether it was physical defense or electronic monitoring, they were all very advanced.
There's also an insulated defense system.
They were really thoughtful!
Our opponent is going to be interesting. "The Accountant's excited voice crackled through the earpiece.
Lan Jue looked at him helplessly. "How am I supposed to get in?
There's an insulated defense system. My electricity can't get in. "
"Impossible," the Accountant replied.
"Only walls can be insulated, not every circuit. All you need to do is find one and sneak in.
The rest is up to you.
Try not to damage the planet's defenses, we'll need it.
Heh heh.
Hurry up, I can't wait. "
Lan Jue asked. "What are you rushing me for? Why don't you do it?"
The Accountant chuckled. "If I had that kind of skill I wouldn't be your slave."
Lan Jue hung up. It wasn't just the Accountant. Lan Jue's desire to win was growing.
Only a strong opponent like this could stimulate his potential.
Lan Jue studied the map, confirming the route.
At this time, the sky outside was completely dark.
Lan Jue used his Discipline to move between the buildings, moving closer and closer to the control center of the planet's defense system.
It didn't take long for him to reach the control center.
It wasn't long before he found the entrance. Like a bolt of lightning, he approached and placed his palm on the metal wall.
It was then that Lan Jue experienced what it meant to be insulated.
Inside the metal wall was a thick layer of rubber. He couldn't use his Discipline to penetrate it.
With great difficulty he slid along the edge of the wall and found the entrance to an electrical circuit.
However, he discovered that the circuit entrance had already sealed itself.
Shit, this isn't your average turtle shell!
What do I do?
Lan Jue's brows furrowed.
At this moment, in the control center, the door of an elevator opened, and then he saw an electron beam descend from the sky, scanning the elevator door.
What the hell is this?
Thermal sensors, infrared scanning, and electromagnetic scanning.
Was there a need to be so ruthless?
Lan Jue's desire to rush into the elevator was quickly dispelled.
A tall man emerged from the elevator. He was clad in a black combat uniform with the tattoo of a red spider on his chest.
He raised his right hand, and the galactic communicator on his wrist lit up on its own as it was being scanned. When the scan was over, he walked out.
It looked like he'd have to change his plan!
Lan Jue made his decision.
