Chapter 48 "Dignity"
Chapter 48 "Dignity"
In elevator No. 7 rising steadily.
Zhou Zhengde rested for a while and then stood up and paced back and forth.
Wang Jixuan absentmindedly fiddled with the detector he borrowed from the female officer, thinking about a big question in his heart.
Crystal nucleus.
The crystal core of a low-level blade beast and a spirit gathering formation.
These words kept crossing Wang Jixuan's mind, and his excited heart gradually calmed down.
There were a few moments when he really wanted to rush out to hunt down the blade beast and peel off its crystal core.
According to the rules of the spiritual world, such things must be announced to the outside world as the way of eliminating evil and defending the way of righteousness.
But reason told him that he didn't know enough about the world outside the fortress. After witnessing Lingtong's fighting ability, Wang Jixuan saw the strength of Blade Beast from the side.
Moreover, he had repeatedly heard a word in the previous introduction about Ling Tong:
Horrible mecha.
Ling Tong's greatest value is that she is the backup pilot of the "Terrible Mecha". What Wang Jixuan has seen is not all of Ling Tong's strength.
In addition, after some inadvertent touches, Wang Jixuan has realized that Lingtong's way of becoming stronger is an act of overdrafting on himself.
[Can you think of a way to hunt blade beasts to obtain crystal cores, and at the same time use the technological power here to protect yourself and survive the most vulnerable foundation-building period? ]
Wang Jixuan kept thinking about it.
The new discovery inspired him and suddenly he had a clearer goal.
He took the initiative to suggest capturing Kong Nu, but in fact he also wanted to take this opportunity to enter the psychic base and look for those crystal cores.
——Crystal cores are used to infuse materials to produce psychics. There is a set of simple equipment in this psychic station, and it is very likely that there are crystal cores whose spiritual power has not been drained yet!
Taoist Wang looked up at Zhou Zhengde and advised, "Captain Zhou, take a break and conserve your energy."
"Mu Liang, I'm thinking about a few questions!"
Zhou Zhengde glanced at the camera in the corner of the elevator and said seriously:
"Don't take out your paper talisman later, and try to use it only for yourself."
"Ok?"
"The situation is now out of control. To be more precise, it is out of our control."
Zhou Zhengde whispered:
“I didn’t think it through. I didn’t expect that Professor Zhuang and Kong Nu would actually set up a secret laboratory under the Black Fire Gang. This matter will definitely involve a power struggle at the war zone level.
“If these alien secrets of yours are spotted by the Thirteenth Headquarters, the Psychic City, then you’re doomed. We’d better study them slowly and secretly.
“What Zheng Shiduo just explained should not be false. I have obtained a lot of one-sided information through investigation, which all correspond to what he said.
"The psychic rebellion more than sixty years ago, the Psychic Council formed by SS-level psychics... Ling Tong and Zheng Shiduo have so much information that we didn't know before.
"The headquarters of the Thirteenth Institute is the Psychic City. This is a powerful force that my grandfather cannot fight alone."
Wang Jixuan nodded slowly.
If you can successfully use the fortress as a shelter to practice for a period of time, it would naturally be the best choice.
If it really doesn't work, he can also take the initiative to leave the fortress and enter the territory of the blade beasts.
Although that would be very dangerous, and he might become the target of both the Saber Beasts and the human army.
This is his last resort, and he doesn't want to take it easily.
Zhou Zhengde paced for a while and whispered, "I need to contact my mother and the Archon. We can't just get rid of Kong Nu."
Wang Jixuan asked puzzledly: "What else is there to do?"
"How about we fake our own death?"
Zhou Zhengde lowered his voice to the lowest pitch:
"Give me a name right now, and I'll arrange a new identity for you. You can get plastic surgery directly in Shangcheng. Only you and I will know about this, and Wei Na will also have to keep it a secret."
"But the smell cannot be changed, nor can the biological waveform and biological information."
Wang Jixuan shook his head:
"No need for plastic surgery or fake death, just modify Mu Liang's information and change his name to Wang Zheng, which means going to war."
Wang Zheng is his worldly name;
Jixuan is his Taoist name, which was given to him by his master because he saw that he liked refining equipment.
Wang Jixuan added: "If I judge that there is danger here, I will leave Fortress No. 76 on my own."
Zhou Zhengde was stunned: "Leave? Where else can you go? The fortress is our last home."
"Hide in other fortresses. I remember that there are routes for transporting supplies between the fortresses."
Wang Jixuan smiled calmly:
"Don't worry about me, Captain Zhou, you have helped me a lot, and I will definitely repay you.
"Captain Zhou, are we going to go directly to the upper city now?"
Zhou Zhengde didn't care about the word "return".
He said quickly, "I need time to arrange it in the upper city, and these elevators can only reach the seventh floor. You need to pass a checkpoint to go from the seventh floor to the sixth floor."
"Okay, then I'll go back and change my clothes. At least I have to put on my combat uniform and helmet. Can you help me get that sniper rifle?"
"Uh……"
Zhou Zhengde was a little hesitant:
“The Upper City is a training base for warriors. We cannot start a war easily in the Upper City, as there is almost no way to hide there.
“Let me try my method first. If it doesn’t work, I will support you in going after Kong Nu.
"Also, Mu Liang, if my method can't kill him, you must let me fire the final shot that kills Kong Nu.
"The auxiliary chips on these senior researchers will capture images through their visual nerves and automatically upload the images of the killers to the Psionic City. This is also a means of deterring psionicists and others."
Wang Jixuan nodded slightly.
He looked at the right hand stretched out in front of him, chuckled, and shook hands tightly with Zhou Zhengde.
……
after an hour.
The third floor of the fortress, home of the psychics.
Kong Nu's fingers were shaking a little, and he repeated the action of taking off his glasses twice before he could barely complete it.
He seemed to have aged a decade in the past week.
The Psychic Home is the general name for the Psychic Station of the Fortress. It is located in the northwest area of the third floor of the Fortress. There is a large restricted area that the residents of the upper city are not allowed to approach. However, it is forbidden to build any fortifications here. It looks like a beautiful villa area. Although the third floor of the Fortress is more than 100 meters from the surface;
But thanks to the 'sunlight transmission' devices throughout the upper town, there is plenty of light here during the day.
The big villa where Kong Nu was currently working was bathed in warm sunshine.
More than a dozen psychics were standing or sitting outside the office with their lips tightly pursed, and many of them were injured.
More than a hundred guards illegally recruited by the House of Psychics are now lying in ambush in the entire area with live ammunition, closely monitoring the movements everywhere.
This area is extremely depressing.
First, a battle girl suddenly appeared in the lower city and destroyed all their arrangements with ease;
At this moment, just outside the Psychic's House, more than 20 armored vehicles blocked all visible entrances and exits.
The fully armed soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor and carrying powerful electromagnetic guns set up sniper positions at various commanding heights. Although no heavy firepower was seen, the crossfire of these firepower was enough to easily kill these D-level and E-level psychics.
This is the combat force mobilized by the fortress governor.
The method Zhou Zhengde mentioned.
Now, Zhou Zhengde is trying to persuade the consul to directly issue an attack order, while the consul and ministers are still waiting for orders from the war zone.
The air pressure in Kong Nu's office had dropped to a terribly low level.
Ye Zi, who had changed into a red dress, was now being pulled by a plump middle-aged woman and sitting on the sofa in the corner of the office, with two older young girls beside her.
They are Kong Nu's family.
Or new family members who have been recognized by Kong Nu.
jingle!
Kong Nu snatched the phone from the corner of the table, and the psychics outside the office looked in at the same time.
A tired old voice came from the receiver:
"Ling Tong has already found out. The people I sent were subdued by Ling Tong. You are so ridiculous, Kong Nu. You didn't even install a self-destruct device in that kind of laboratory!"
Kong Nu's Adam's apple trembled a few times: "The self-destruct device at the bottom level may destroy the protective structure outside the fortress... Professor Zhuang... and I installed it, but the signal was lost a few months ago..."
"Very good, well done! They have perfect control over me now. I just handed over the control of the psychics in the D5 war zone! Now I am just an old man who is purely engaged in scientific research!"
The old man opposite sighed:
"I admit that the experiments I conducted were unethical and a bit risky, but this is the price that must be paid for the advancement of psychic science.
“But you’ve gone too far, Kong Nu.
"Is an E-class psychic worth such a huge price? You actually went to threaten the commander-in-chief's grandson.
"I'm really confused, Kong Nu. It's understandable that an old man like me, who is on the front line, doesn't know where the commander-in-chief's family is. But you're in Fort 76, and you don't even know where they are! Haven't you ever toasted your archon?"
Kong Nu smiled bitterly: "So, Professor, I, Kong Nu, have worked hard for more than 30 years, but in the end, I still lost to these powerful people, right?"
"You can interpret it however you want. Do you think the commander-in-chief is just a powerful person? He has saved this 1/20th of humanity many times."
The old man over there said helplessly:
"I can understand your desire to enter the Psychic City. That is your ideal, even though it was born out of brainwashing.
"For the sake of our friendship over the years... let me give you another reminder.
"Don't take that plane you called, the war zone is ready to kill you in the air, that plane is locked.
“A plane crash is the easiest way to erase all traces of a senior researcher, and the Psionic City is also difficult to investigate.
"Go hide in Fortress No. 82 first, go to your old lover's place. The psychics from Fortress No. 82 are waiting for you at Gate No. of the fortress. You have a way to get through, right? The intelligence I got here shows that you are surrounded. I am helping you delay them, but I dare not say too much now, and I can't delay them for too long.
“The commander-in-chief will really kill me!
"What else do you know about that E-class psychic, the one you named Black Storm, Mu Liang?"
Kong Nu whispered: "Professor, I only know that he is definitely not a psychic from our thirteenth sequence."
"Very interesting. The military has made a breakthrough in infusion technology? Then we are all doomed."
The old man smiled bitterly:
"The Psychic City is planning to express strong dissatisfaction with the massacre of psychics in Fortress 76.
"They will probably target this E-class psychic, but that has nothing to do with me... I am really convinced!
"Kong Nu, how much of the funds I gave you did you embezzle? You even cut corners on the self-destruct device in the laboratory? You are too greedy for my students! I suddenly have nothing! Me!
"Forget it, I wish you peace. Your academic level is still good."
The other side hung up the phone.
Kong Nu lowered his head and rubbed his brows, squeezed hard, and looked up at the corner.
"Wife, take the children to Gate 82. Go there immediately. Someone will take you to Fortress ."
"Old Kong," the middle-aged woman asked in a low voice, "what about you?"
"I'll wait for the plane that was locked by the missile."
Kong Nu whispered:
"Where else can I hide? Without Professor Zhuang's secret, what value do I have?
“Originally, I wanted to use the following places to threaten Professor Zhuang and ask him to guarantee our entry into the Psychic City, but now it’s useless.
"The Minister of Biology at Fortress 76 should have his last bit of dignity."
He looked at Ye Zi's confused face and sighed softly:
"I'm sorry, Ye Zi, I can't take care of you."
The middle-aged woman hugged Ye Zi and her two daughters in her arms, sobbing softly.
The circles around Ye Zi's eyes were slightly red.
There was no unnecessary lingering moments. Kong Nu pressed a button, and several psychics came in from outside the door and quickly left through the secret door with his family.
Kong Nu added: "Everyone go back to your own residences, don't worry about the follow-up, I instructed you to do everything, don't resist the search... It's been hard working together for these years."
The psychics outside the office didn't say much and dispersed quietly.
"Ugh……"
Kong sighed, opened the drawer, took out a treasured cigar, lit it with familiar movements, and placed a photo in front of him. The photo was of an old lady in a red sweater.
He smoked his cigar silently, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Ding Ding!
A text switch kept vibrating.
【Mr. Li: It has been arranged, come quickly.】
Kong watched with narrowed eyes, placed the cigar on the table and let it smolder slowly, then grinned.
He picked up the briefcase hidden under the chair and quickly stood up, walked to the bookshelf beside him, pushed open the bookshelf to reveal a narrow passage slanting downward, with a ventilation duct slanting upward at the back.
"Fuck your decency."
Kong Nu rushed in quickly and took off his suit in a swift motion.
