Not long after, Lin Ye located an unmanned portal through his map and drove the truck straight through it.

The other side of the portal connected to a fully enclosed building, somewhat resembling an underground parking garage with a very high ceiling.

The moment the truck passed through the portal, a layer of spiritual energy barrier appeared between the truck and the portal, blocking Lin Ye's escape route.

A line of spiritual imprint appeared on the wall ahead: "Drop the materials, and you can leave here safely. Otherwise, we will kill you directly—even if the portal closes, it won't matter."

If it were any other driver encountering this spiritual imprint, they could only resign themselves to bad luck. After all, if you lose your goods, you can always scavenge more. But if you lose your life, it's all over.

"Pretty domineering, isn't it. Is this considered robbery?"

Lin Ye didn't waste any more words. He directly used Spiritual Energy Vibration to shatter the spiritual energy barrier behind him, as well as the entire building.

As broken building materials rained down from above, Lin Ye didn't drive the truck away from the spot. Since the other party wasn't interested in being reasonable, he would use an even more unreasonable method to communicate with them.

This area wasn't like those abandoned zones—the Parasitism Network could spread here very easily.

If he weren't worried about the portal behind him automatically closing, Lin Ye would have felt like taking a trip to the big city in this plane.

About fifteen seconds passed before the first high-level spiritual energy user entered the building ruins. It wasn't that the enemy here reacted slowly—they had made many preparations in this area. But all those preparations fell within the coverage of the Parasitism Network and had been dealt with by Lin Ye before they could even activate.

The high-level spiritual energy user who appeared near the truck didn't speak. Instead, he gripped his weapon and charged directly at Lin Ye, who was still sitting in the truck's driver seat.

Three Red Frogs lunged at the high-level spiritual energy user from different angles. The opponent easily killed the three Red Frogs but overlooked a very fatal detail.

That was—he was too close to those Red Frogs.

Boom, boom, boom! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The violent explosion directly blasted the spiritual energy user into a mess of shredded flesh.

Spiritual Energy Core Modification Technology was already an extremely dangerous, high-end technique. Combined with Lin Ye's extraordinary skill in biological Alienation, the biological bombs he created were even more dangerous than the originals.

Moreover, Lin Ye could, to a certain extent, hide the positions of his parasitic creatures. The fact that the opponent could get this close was entirely because Lin Ye was expanding the Parasitism Network outward.

Dense explosions rang out in the distance. Some parasitic creatures began scavenging useful supplies inside the military base, hauling those materials onto military trucks parked in the garage.

Lin Ye continuously dealt with the enemies approaching his position. Just as he was happily collecting supplies, the enemy dropped a compressed spiritual energy bomb a full meter long above the base.

"Damn, that's way too big."

To Lin Ye's perception, that bomb was essentially a massive aggregate of compressed spiritual energy. If it detonated at close range, even he would struggle to survive.

So Lin Ye wasn't going to let that bomb get anywhere near him. Under the influence of the Falling Rule Fragment, the compressed spiritual energy bomb went from decelerating to starting its fall toward the sky in just one second.

The parasitic creatures drove the trucks loaded with supplies through the portal. After all the trucks had passed through, Lin Ye also reversed and left this plane.

"Now you can explode."

The moment Lin Ye drove through the portal, the portal vanished.

"Wait, how did I end up selling more and bringing back more…"

Lin Ye looked at the dozen or so trucks parked on the driveway. He had gone there to sell materials, but instead of selling them, he had hauled back a massive load of supplies.

There was a research institute inside the military base dedicated to studying these spiritual energy materials. The parasitic creatures had loaded everything inside onto the trucks, including many instruments and devices used to research these materials.

Lin Ye began examining the research reports retrieved from the institute. Before long, he had finished reading all of them and grasped the progress of their research.

The other party had extracted a powdery substance called "Number One Substance" from these spiritual energy materials.

This Number One Substance could disrupt stable systems—a very insidious material.

Earlier, that spiritual energy user had been carrying a firearm loaded with Number One Substance, intending to get close to Lin Ye and hit him hard with it. There was also a sniper aiming at Lin Ye from a distance, but he hadn't gotten a chance to fire before the parasitic creatures took him out.

This was the advantage of the Parasitism Network—it could prioritize dealing with dangerous targets.

The Red Frogs unloaded some equipment from the trucks and began setting them up in order. Perhaps out of consideration for stability, all this equipment could be powered by spiritual energy crystals.

"They actually placed an entire production line right by the portal. What a bunch of kind people."

Now Lin Ye didn't have to worry about what to do with all these spiritual energy materials. He could process them into Number One Substance and then sell it in other planes.

However, this Number One Substance tended to destroy the containers storing it, and it couldn't be made into long-term preserved weapons. Otherwise, Lin Ye could have simply sold the finished weapons directly.

'If I could collect more stable structure blueprints, I should be able to create organisms with higher stability. Then maybe I could make explosive creatures that can carry Number One Substance for extended periods…'

Some of the Red Frogs maintained the production line, while Lin Ye dispatched the remaining parasitic creatures to collect spiritual energy materials in this area. Besides the materials, he also wanted to collect more stable structure blueprints.

During this process, Lin Ye didn't stay idle either. He first researched a type of explosive worm with very high stability, then used more stable materials to craft a batch of spiritual energy bullets filled with Number One Substance.

Recently, he rarely encountered situations where he needed to use Dark Dawn. Although Dark Dawn's power was decent, mid-tier spiritual energy items were essentially useless to him now.

'Maybe I should take some time to craft a more powerful firearm-type weapon…'

Lin Ye loaded the finished Number One bullets into Dark Dawn's magazine. He planned to find an enemy later to test the power of these bullets.

Those machines required a large amount of spiritual energy materials to produce a small amount of Number One Substance, so they could process vast quantities of materials simultaneously.

The Parasitism Network's efficiency was extremely high. The Red Frogs quickly finished processing all the spiritual energy materials from the trucks. Lin Ye ended up with a woven bag full of white powder, looking just like an entire bag of flour.

The military base had also prepared a large number of containers designed to hold Number One Substance. While these containers couldn't store it for extremely long periods, they could maintain it for a decent amount of time.

"Pretty considerate of them."

Lin Ye suddenly turned his head to look at the abandoned area. A massive Ruins creature had entered the coverage range of the Parasitism Network.
