If Liang Yue was truly planning to defect from the organization, they could seize this chance to win Chen Xinian\'s favor.

After all, since Chen Xinian had last shown them attention, it had been half a month since he\'d come near them again.

The West Hill Base didn’t lack pretty girls.

Most people here were either wealthy or influential, and these girls were pampered daughters from rich families, with the limits of beauty right there for all to see.

Though Shen and Meng were quite attractive, they weren’t overwhelmingly stunning.

Besides, Chen Xinian\'s age was catching up with him, and his needs weren’t as pressing as before.

Especially after his recent conflict with Zhang Yi, his interest had dwindled noticeably.

This left Shen Moling and Meng Zixuan uneasy, fearing that one day they might be thrown back into the Fourth Life Pod.

Once they had tasted the luxury of the Second Life Pod, going back was unimaginable.

So, as soon as Liang Yue left the room, the two rushed out, intending to report her.

But as they opened the door, they saw Liang Yue standing there, looking at them with disappointment.

“You two really let me down.”

Liang Yue raised her hand and, with lightning speed, struck each of their necks twice.

Their vision went black, and they collapsed.

Liang Yue had lost all hope in them. To ensure the safety of the other students, she firmly tied the two girls up and stuffed them into the closet.

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed a bottle of sleeping pills on the table and fed each of them two tablets.

Living together in the Second Life Pod, Liang Yue knew that Meng Zixuan and Shen Moling rarely interacted with others.

After all, the other residents were all elite talents and clearly looked down on the two “companions.”

No one would come looking for them.

As long as they slept until tomorrow night, she and the other students would be safe.

After ensuring that the closet was ventilated, Liang Yue took their keys, locked the door from the outside, and stepped out.

Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, preparing to rest a bit, she heard a familiar voice.

“Miss Liang, what are you doing here so late?”

Liang Yue\'s body stiffened, a flicker of tension rising within her.

The voice belonged to Chen Xinian’s personal secretary, Ge Rou.

Forcing herself to remain calm, she turned and smiled at her.

Ge Rou, dressed in a black suit with wide, wine-red glasses, wore her usual professional smile.

“I was just heading back. Secretary Ge, where are you headed?”

Ge Rou’s smile deepened.

She walked towards Liang Yue, high heels clicking with each step, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Liang Yue felt a surge of unease.

“Miss Liang, you’ve been visiting the Fourth Life Pod often these past few days, haven’t you?”

Ge Rou’s words made Liang Yue’s nerves tighten.

Could it be... her plan had been discovered?

Or was there a traitor among the students who leaked the information?

Her mind raced, but outwardly she stayed composed.

“I was just checking on the students.”

Thinking back over her plan, Liang Yue was sure she had made no mistakes.

She had only told the students to gather at midnight tomorrow, without specifying any details.

Even if someone had leaked the information, she could easily come up with an excuse.

She frowned and coldly asked Ge Rou, “Secretary Ge, there’s something I wanted to ask you too!”

“Why have so many of my students mysteriously disappeared since we arrived here over a month ago?”

Ge Rou hadn’t expected Liang Yue to question her.

She frowned briefly before responding, “I thought I told you, the West Hill Base has various divisions. Everyone has to follow orders and obey commands.” ṙ�

“The power station isn’t the only department. They’ve been reassigned to other areas as needed.”

Relieved, Liang Yue realized Ge Rou had only heard about her visits to the Fourth Life Pod.

Her plan was still intact.

She let out a cold laugh. “Is that really the case? Even so, half of my students disappearing is a bit much!”

She stared fiercely at Ge Rou and demanded, “Secretary Ge, have you been using my students for human experiments?”

A flash of surprise appeared in Ge Rou’s eyes, but she quickly laughed it off.

“So, you’re aware of that matter.”

“That’s fine. Since it’s within the base and you’re the Special Forces Team captain, it’s something you would have found out eventually. Saves me the trouble of explaining.”

Ge Rou admitted openly.

“Yes, some of your students were indeed sent for human experiments. The goal was to unlock their potential and turn them into Superhumans.”

She spread her hands. “But you know how rare Superhumans are, and the success rate of these experiments is extremely low.”

In reality, the success rate for these experiments at West Hill Base was dismal, with few successful cases.

Even the current Superhuman captains had achieved their abilities through other special means.

Ge Rou made no effort to hide the experiments from Liang Yue.

As a highly regarded Superhuman at West Hill Base, she would inevitably find out about it.

In fact, in the First to Third Life Pods, these experiments weren’t even a secret.

The experiments required numerous subjects, making it impossible to completely hide.

Liang Yue showed the appropriate anger.

“You’re using my students for experiments?”

Ge Rou simply smiled, patting her on the shoulder.

“Miss Liang, calm down. I doubt you’re naïve enough to believe the base would support so many people for nothing.”

“Everything in life comes with a price. If the base hadn’t taken you in, you and your students would likely be dead by now.”

“So, sacrificing for the base is your duty.”

Liang Yue found herself momentarily speechless.

True, without the West Hill Base, they might all have perished long ago.

Even if they’d managed to hide out in Tianqing Academy, they would have eventually run out of resources.

But this didn’t mean she could accept Ge Rou’s reasoning.

“They could find other ways to survive, not by sacrificing their lives!”

Liang Yue retorted coldly.

Ge Rou shook her head, sighing at Liang Yue as if teaching an ignorant child.

“You’re too idealistic.”

“Miss Liang, you’re now one of the elite here at West Hill Base. The quality of life you enjoy now comes from the sacrifices of those beneath you.”

“You’re benefiting from your students’ sacrifices, so don’t put on a show of righteousness here.”

“Sometimes, you have to live selfishly. Do you not find your current life satisfactory?”

Ge Rou’s eyes glinted as she tried to persuade Liang Yue to accept the survival rules of the base.

Liang Yue was silent for a moment, lowering her head with a sigh.

“I understand.”

Ge Rou’s smile widened. “Now that’s the spirit! You’ll have to realize this sooner or later in a world like this. Goodnight!”

With that, she sauntered away from Liang Yue.
