Chapter 442: The Empty City
Although the operation of those research bases against the two major families must be carried out.
However, in order to prevent the two major families from attacking Muling City again like they did last time, they took advantage of Zhao Tian's absence in Kyoto to launch an attack on the Imperial Palace Branch.
In the end, Zhao Tian decided to stay in Kyoto by himself, and let the Shadow lead the team to attack and destroy the research bases of the two families.
Without the existence of such a top powerhouse as Zhao Tian, the difficulty of the task has naturally increased a lot, but Zhao Tian believes that Shadow is also a strong man who can stand alone.
The Shadow itself is also determined to succeed in these actions, and has great confidence, and even made a military order here in Zhao Tian, and will definitely achieve enough results to return.
On the fourth day after Zhao Tian led the team to attack the Long Family Manor, the Shadow had already set off with a group of cultivation powerhouses from the Emperor Hall Branch.
Their goal was a research base in one of the southernmost provinces of the Dragon Kingdom, which was far from Kyoto.
Even by plane, it took a whole day for the Shadow group to finally arrive there.
In addition, as soon as you stepped off the plane from Kyoto to the far south, you could clearly feel that the temperature was much warmer than in Kyoto.
At this time, winter has gradually arrived, and in the streets and alleys of Kyoto, the clothes worn by people have gradually changed into thick coats, and even some people who are afraid of the cold have even worn padded jackets and some lighter down jackets.
However, on the streets of this southern province, there are even people wearing short sleeves and swaggering on the road, which is quite an interesting scene for a person like Shadow who has never been to the south of the Dragon Kingdom.
Since Shadow was transferred from the Western Headquarters to Kyoto by Zhao Tian and established the Imperial Palace Branch, he had never been to the south of the Dragon Kingdom.
The Shadow is so keen on these actions, probably because the Shadow wants to take advantage of these actions to take a look around the Dragon Kingdom and learn about the customs of the country.
After all, a person who has lived in the West all the year round has come to the mysterious East, just like coming to a new planet, and everything is very new and full of temptation for him.
However, although Shadow really wanted to experience life in the south of the Dragon Kingdom here, Shadow did not forget the true purpose of his coming here, as well as the mission and task he carried.
According to the information that Zhao Tian obtained in the Long Family Manor last time, the shadow treated people very smoothly, and found the location of the research base of the two major families.
But when the Shadow arrived there, he was shocked by what he saw.
The gates of the entire base were open, and the inside of the base was also pitch black, and nothing could be seen from the outside.
At first, the Shadow thought that the people inside the base were using some kind of trick, or that some traps had been set up inside.
But when the Shadow cautiously walked into the base, he found that there was no trap in it, and there was not even a shadow of a person in it.
Except for the faint flickering of some emergency lights that only come on after the power is off, there is no life here.
Apparently the people in it had already left the base.
Although this base should have been abandoned, since it has already arrived, it is better to check if there is anything worth discovering in the base.
The final result was still a big disappointment for the Shadows, and the two families had obviously expected that the Emperor's Palace would bring people to these proven bases to attack.
However, they did not take any defensive measures or countermeasures against these attacks, and simply withdrew all researchers and scientific research facilities from the base.
There was hardly a single computer used to experiment and store experimental data in the entire base, not even a hard drive.
In the end, the Shadow had no choice but to lead people out of this base, which no longer had any use value.
Shadow didn't expect the people of the two families to evacuate all their researchers so decisively.
It should also be that if Zhao Tian still brings people to attack in person, even if he defends in advance and sets up certain traps to stop Zhao Tian's attack.
There is no way to succeed at all, or turn Zhao Tian and the others away, so anyway, as long as people stay here, sooner or later they will send their heads away.
The two families simply removed everything from this place, so as to ensure that the research materials were foolproof.
Somewhat frustrated, the shadow re-led the people back to their foothold in the city, and reported all the information he had obtained today to Zhao Tian, who was far away in Kyoto.
The Shadow's tone was full of self-blame, and when the Shadow left Kyoto, he gave Zhao Tian a military order, but now he didn't get anything, which made the Shadow's heart very worried.
However, in the process of the video with Zhao Tian, Zhao Tian also directly tore up the military order in front of the shadow, after all, this matter has nothing to do with the shadow.
It was the two great families who withdrew all the researchers here in advance that caused the shadow to find nothing, and Zhao Tian believed that if the two families did not choose to do so, the shadow would definitely be able to bring enough gains to himself.
"I really didn't expect the two major families to be so decisive, it seems that they have also learned the lessons of the prospect mountain base and the Sichuan provincial base, and they chose to give up these bases that are not sure to be defended!"
"They should have transferred all those experimental facilities and materials, as well as researchers, to the research base that we didn't discover, so that all the information on our remaining research bases would be invalid!"
"It is estimated that the situation in those research bases is no different from that here, since the people of the two major families have evacuated the personnel of one base, then the other bases should have already been emptied. ”
"You come back first, it will definitely take some time for the people of the two families to relocate these researchers and facilities and let them continue to work, which can be regarded as delaying their research progress!"
After listening to Zhao Tian's words, Zhao Tian was also slightly relieved in his heart, but he still secretly made up his mind that he must return to Kyoto to make new contributions to the Emperor's Palace, even if it was to make up for this mistake.
At the same time, inside the Long Family Manor, Long Xiaotian was looking at the display screen in front of him with a smug face, and there was a surveillance video on it.
