I chose the safe house, and the Human Alliance regretted it.

Chapter 274 Sorry

The man in the gray cloak had no choice but to do so.

His clan had received a secret report that Zi Chen had obtained a list of one thousand people.

Delaying this any longer will only make things worse for them.

Without hesitation, Wang Wei got up and followed.

The man in the gray cloak did not walk towards the street, but instead turned and turned into a small alley next to the commercial street.

The alley was very narrow, with towering building facades on both sides, and only a sliver of starry sky could be seen overhead.

The cloaked figure walked quickly, while Wang Wei followed at a leisurely pace.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, a spacious docking area appeared at the end of the alley.

A dark-colored starship sat there quietly, its hull as black as ink, without any markings, blending into the night.

You wouldn't even notice it unless you looked closely.

The ship's door slid open silently.

The cloaked figure went in first, followed by Wang Wei.

The cabin is not spacious, with only two rows of seats and no windows.

The cloaked figure walked to the front of the control panel and quickly swiped his fingers across the screen.

The starship trembled slightly, silently ascended, broke through the energy shield, and entered space.

Wang Wei sat in his chair, closing his eyes to rest.

The dark starship sailed through the starry sky. After an unknown amount of time, the cloaked figure spoke: "We've arrived."

The starship slowly slowed down, and a dazzling array of lights appeared ahead.

Countless suspended platforms are pieced together to form a massive artificial landmass.

Various starships shuttle between the platforms, taking off and landing busily, like a city floating in the starry sky.

This is the star base that the cloaked man mentioned.

The starship passed through the outer defense identification zone and landed at a dedicated berth on the edge of the base.

The cloaked figure stood up, pushed open the door, and went out.

Wang Wei followed behind him, stepping onto the metal ground of the base.

The cloaked figure led Wang Wei through a maze of turns until they stopped in front of a massive transport ship.

The transport ship is huge and is parked in its dedicated berth.

"Open it," the cloaked man said.

The guard turned around and entered commands on the control panel, and the hatch slowly opened.

The cloaked figure went in first.

The interior space is enormous, like a warehouse.

Light poured down from above, illuminating the densely packed metal boxes.

The crates were stacked neatly, from the bottom of the hold all the way to the top.

Wang Wei sensed it briefly and nodded in satisfaction.

One hundred billion vials of energy liquid, no more, no less.

The cloaked figure stood beside him and said in a deep voice, "They're all here. From now on, no one else of our people's information must be leaked."

"No problem." Wang Wei walked forward slowly, his gaze sweeping over the boxes. "But I need to inspect the goods first."

The cloaked figure scoffed, "Our clan's reputation is a hundred times better than that of humans; not a single one will be missing."

Wang Wei ignored him.

He walked to the nearest row of boxes and opened one at random.

Wang Wei's smile froze on his face.

The box is empty.

His face darkened, and he opened the one next to him.

empty.

Open another one.

empty.

Wang Wei's face darkened completely.

He turned around. "Are you kidding me?"

The cloaked figure frowned, strode over, and looked down at the empty boxes.

His pupils suddenly contracted. "This is impossible." His voice was still hoarse, but now it carried an air of disbelief.

"Where is the energy liquid?" Wang Wei stared at him, his gaze as cold as a knife.

The cloaked man did not answer.

He hurriedly turned around and walked to the control panel on the bulkhead to retrieve the inventory records.

The screen showed that three days ago, this batch of energy liquid was indeed transported into the transport ship, and the quantity and batch corresponded perfectly.

The records showed no signs of tampering.

But the box was empty.

The cloaked man's expression finally changed.

Wang Wei looked at the cabin full of empty boxes and suddenly smiled.

"Interesting." His tone was slightly amused. "It seems someone doesn't want you to buy out the list."

The cloaked man's gaze sharpened: "You mean—"

Wang Wei chuckled, "You can investigate yourselves."

After saying that, he walked out of the cabin without looking back.

The cloaked figure stood rooted to the spot, his face ashen.

He looked down at the empty box, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Who is it?

In the distance, Wang Wei had already stepped out of the transport ship.
