"Blow it up!"
"Yes!"
The preparation for this command wasn't complicated. Although none of the other apes and monkeys besides Aida Kang knew how Ji Xinghe pinpointed the location of the oxygen supply chamber, it didn't hinder them from being well-versed in the base's internal structure—guided by the intelligent system's prompts and directions.
Being more familiar allowed them to be quicker. With the Empire's Transition Base command center, Ji Xinghe, seemingly possessing x-ray vision, rapidly reached one of the twelve oxygen supply chambers of the Transition Base and completed the explosive setup.
-----------------
Ji Xinghe's sudden change of direction wasn't because he sensed Aida Kang's interception or the impending arrival of Martial Emperor III, but because his initial target was never the Empire Transition Base's command center.
What he wanted was victory, and to achieve victory, he couldn't rely solely on himself.
