In fact, ever since the Military Government was driven underground, communication between the two sides had completely ceased—at least at the official level. Contact among high-level Grand Scientists still existed, but it was pitifully scarce, and interaction among the lower-class citizens was strictly forbidden.
Therefore, for Hao Qi to enter the territory of the underground Military Government was simple and difficult all at once. The simple part was that Hao Qi could rely on his personal strength to directly infiltrate the underground; unless it was the Level 6 Grand Scientist behind the scenes, everyone else would certainly be unable to detect him. The difficulty lay precisely there: if Hao Qi wanted to remain completely undetected by that Level 6 Grand Scientist, he would need to make extensive preparations.
"This is the reason we cannot enter just yet. We need to build some shielding equipment, personal-use devices. This is something meant to shield against a Level 6 Grand Scientist, after all; it's not so easy to make. It takes time, at least... well, about a month and a half to two months. Only after that can an underground trip become a reality. Until then, you are all free to go wherever you please and wander about as you like." Zhuge Ming hadn't even shown his face; he had simply relayed these words before disappearing without a trace.
