Zhang Liang brought them to a warehouse where they were all provided with the supplies that they needed. However, since most of these young geniuses came from large families, other than basic supplies like food, water, and camping supplies, they had everything they needed provided to them by their families.
It didn't take long before everyone had their gear and they were ready to head in.
Zhang Liang brought them outside to where three armoured vehicles were parked. Standing by those armoured vehicles were a team of technicians that were currently standing there and waiting.
These people were in charge of operating the base camp inside the planar crack and they would be responsible for operating the communication net.
Communication inside a planar crack was different from outside since the planar crack created a minor realm in space. That minor realm had different spatial laws from the major realm outside, since it was a crack that laid in between normal space, which was how it connected the Blue Star Planet to the lands of the Beast Clan. This was a passage that laid in between two realms which created different spatial laws from the realms outside, which interfered with the communication signal.
This meant that when they were inside the planar crack they didn't have a way of communicating unless they had a special communicator that locked onto certain spatial frequencies, but those all cost a lot and were not things easily provided. So there would be no communication with the camp outside, but they would be setting up a camp inside the planar crack with an antenna which would allow for communication inside.
While that seemed to be the reason for the base camp on the surface, Lin Fan could tell that wasn't all since he recognized a few of the people running the base camp.
These were people who had come to greet Lin Fan with Yu Ning when Lin Fan went to the Monster Trainer Union for the first time. They were all disciples that studied under vice president Zhang Liang with Yu Ning.
It could be seen that the Monster Trainer Union had really invested quite a bit this time into the operation this time.
Since these were disciples that were under the vice president Zhang Liang, it meant that they were some of the best and brightest talents in the Monster Trainer Union. However, they were now being sent on this potentially very dangerous and very important mission.
But this also meant that the Monster Trainer Union was putting quite the importance to the success of this mission, which Lin Fan could understand.
This planar crack might possibly be a breach that the Beast Clan had made and if that were the case, there might be an invasion force prepared to break through at any moment.
While this might not mean the end of humanity, but it would be a very costly fight since in the past, the beast waves that had resulted in the deaths of up to billions of people.
In one particularly bad beast wave in the past, the human population had even been reduced by a half. It was so bad that the upper realm even had to step in and bring immigrants from other lower realms over.
But of course this event had been erased from the minds of most people and after several thousand generations of mixing blood, they all regarded themselves as people of the Blue Star Planet. This event was only remembered by a few people who had access to the Union Government's library or those that had relationships to people that had access like Lin Fan.
Once they were all loaded into the armoured vehicles, the armoured vehicles set off. They drove right up to the planar crack and there was a small gap left in the barricade where they could enter.
Zhang Liang gave them one last goodbye as they entered the planar crack and their surroundings changed.
When everything came back into view, they found themselves inside a large jungle with another crack behind them.
Everyone got out to examine their surroundings and once they did get their bearings, the support team began setting up their equipment.
They were setting up near the planar crack's exit just in case anything went wrong, that way they could just ditch their equipment and escape as soon as possible.
While they were setting up, the eight geniuses were all preparing their gear. It was clear by how they were splitting that they were either planning to go off in pairs or alone, but that was normal considering what kind of pride they had as people touted as geniuses.
During this time, Lin Fan walked around like he was looking over the camp, but there was something that he was dropping every time that he moved past one of the geniuses.
After he made his round, he came back to Angela who he had left waiting for him and watched as each of the geniuses headed off in a different direction.
When they all set off, he also set off with Angela since there was nothing for him to do right now. The people at the camp would be able to help analyze anything that he captured, so what he needed to do was scout around to see if there was anything noteworthy and to capture beasts as samples for the camp.
Lin Fan also chose a direction that was different from the direction that all the others headed off in and he walked along with Angela like they were having a nice stroll. At first they were walking separately, but eventually Lin Fan moved closer and closer until they were walking side by side.
There was something that he wanted to do, but he was hesitant in doing it even though he had done it before. For some reason, when it came to Angela, there was this strange nervous feeling that filled his heart.
His hand came up a bit before coming back down to his side again and again until he finally made up his mind and brought it fully up. It just stayed in the air for a bit while they were walking along, looking a bit strange just hanging there, but eventually Lin Fan's hand moved forward to grab something.
Angela hadn't been aware of this the entire time as she was just enjoying her walk with Lin Fan.
She didn't know why she felt this way, but as time passed, she felt that just spending time with Lin Fan was good enough for her.
At first she didn't want to come on this trip because she felt that it would be a waste of time, but now she was glad since she was able to get some alone time with Lin Fan.
While she was just happily enjoying the walk, she suddenly felt a hand slowly grab hers.
When she turned down to see Lin Fan's hand holding her own, she didn't know how to react at first, but remembering the shows and movies that she had seen, she remembered that this was something that couples did. The moment this thought appeared in her mind, there was a faint blush that came over her face and she quickly turned her head, looking very shy.
Lin Fan didn't know what to expect when he tried grabbing Angela's hand, but seeing her shy appearance now, he really couldn't help revealing a faint smile.
When he saw her the first time, Angela had been a cold and aloof angel that was a being that he knew that he could never beat. Deep down, he always knew that that was the first moment that he felt something towards her, a different kind of feeling.
She had always seemed out of reach for someone from a lower realm like him, but now this cold and aloof angel was acting shy in front of him. It gave him the realization that she was now his and there was a strange feeling of pride and happiness that filled his heart.
Of course, they weren't just wasting time as they walked through the forest leisurely like this. During this time, Lin Fan had already summoned Brainy who had been spreading its parasite seeds all around, taking control of various different beasts that would become its eyes and ears.
Lin Fan had instructed Brainy to search for any beast that seemed like they didn't belong in this ecosystem, but Brainy hadn't found anything in the beasts around them. So Brainy sent the beasts that it had put its seed in further out, as well as to scout the surrounding area.
So during this time, there was nothing for Lin Fan and Angela to do except take a leisurely walk through the forest.
They kept moving through the trees until they eventually came to a lake that was in the middle of the forest.
Walking hand in hand, they walked along the shore of the beach, enjoying just walking along in silence without a need to say a single thing. They didn't need to say anything, they could just enjoy the warmth of the other person they felt from holding hands.
But they had only taken a few steps along the short before there was a beast that suddenly popped out of the surface of the water.
This was a beast that had a strange appearance.
This beast had a single center purple cylinder that was its main body with a large eye at the top of it and then it had many different purple tentacles that stretched out from its body, but that wasn't the strangest part. The strangest part was that there was another eye that was attached to the ends of every tentacle, giving it thousands of different eyes.
The moment it popped out of the surface of the water, it brought a few tentacles back and swung down at Lin Fan and Angela who were walking along the shore.
