Chapter 180
Rong Yuan and Leslie returned to the 13th floor. Standing at the elevator entrance, looking at the escalator that was always full of people going in and out, Rong Yuan asked, "What's down there?"
The thirteenth floor is about two hundred meters high, but the headquarters of the Supervisory Department only occupies one-tenth of the upper height. So where is the remaining nine-tenths?
Leslie said, "This is where the construction department is. Our mechas, spaceships, hovercrafts, and some heavy machinery are all built here. The adventurers' elevators don't lead here. The entire 13th floor is staffed by Liukasao's own people."
"Can we build spaceships?" Rong Yuan asked. Although the area of each layer of Liukasao is very large, comparable to a small or medium-sized city on land, it is still too small to build a spaceship. Moreover, the height of the mecha that can fight in space is generally more than 100 meters, which is not something that can be built in ordinary places.
"Yes, we can." Leslie smiled and said, "There is a suspended manufacturing platform on the lower level that leads directly into space. Big things like spaceships and space mechas are all built in space."
Rong Yuan nodded. Light industry is everywhere in Liukasiao, but heavy industry should be concentrated together. Many heavy industrial construction equipment can be used in a different way to become powerful weapons.
This also explains why the Supervision Department placed its headquarters on the thirteenth floor. Since only people from within the Liukasao enter and exit this floor, and there are no adventurers in sight, and they have to go through security checks when entering the Passage Management Office, it will naturally greatly reduce the possibility of the Supervision Department headquarters being attacked and infiltrated, and maximize the safety of the headquarters and members' families.
It seems that Todd is also very aware of how hated his Supervisory Department is, so he has put a lot of effort into security.
But although excluding adventurers increases safety, aren't the people inside Liukasao the ones who hate the Supervisory Department the most? Don't the people in the Construction Department want to take risks like the assassin before and sneak into the upper level of the thirteenth floor to take revenge on the Supervisory Department?
"I know what you're thinking." Leslie smiled as he sat in the shuttle bus. "First of all, everyone's information about which floor they are on when they enter the elevator is recorded in Ochi's management system. If someone leaves the elevator on a floor that doesn't belong to them, an alarm will sound immediately, and the automatic security systems inside and outside the elevator will also be activated immediately."
"Then, could someone from the Construction Department sneak up the escalator to the upper floors? The answer is no! Because the escalators, vehicles, and skyways that seem to be in plain sight are all equipped with strict monitoring and surveillance systems, and they also hide numerous powerful firepower. If someone other than the Supervisory Department enters without a request, he will be wiped out within five seconds. This place that looks completely defenseless is actually the most heavily guarded and dangerous place on Lukas'ao! Of course, we have to exclude the eighteenth floor where Lord Luka is."
Rong Yuan nodded, this made sense. However, he did not feel any sense of danger when passing through these places, probably because the various weapons were not activated.
At the same time, the existence of this security measure also shows the extent of Todd's loyalty and trust in Rhuka in the past. You know, there are countless weapons hidden in this passage that leads back to the headquarters of the Supervisory Department, and these weapons are not controlled by Todd, the chief of the Supervisory Department, but are directly controlled by the central intelligent brain Ochi!
If one day Ryuka is dissatisfied with his general manager, the others may still have room to struggle, except Todd... Ryuka only needs to give Ochi an order to silently evaporate Todd when he returns to the Supervisory Department, so that he will not know how he died. Including the Supervisory Department founded by Todd can also be silently wiped out, and they have no room for resistance.
Given the reputation and popularity of the Supervision Department, even if they were all killed overnight, no one would feel sad for them, and no one would avenge them. All the people of Liukasao would probably just celebrate with joy and curse, "Good job!"
If this were not the case, the Supervision Department would not have the power to investigate, arrest, interrogate, or even kill anyone without permission. Such almost unlimited power precisely shows that they are actually imprisoned in the most stringent shackles.
Rong Yuan looked at Leslie. He probably saw an acquaintance, as he was leaning out of the car, waving his hands happily, his silver hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes shining and clear, his carefree smile like a child, it seemed that he had never thought that the butcher's knife was actually on his neck, and his life and death depended on the thoughts of others.
No wonder Todd said before that the Supervisory Department was not enough of a force for him to resist.
Todd probably had the same state of mind in the past - this was his home, his own base, and a place where he could completely relax. He devoted everything he had to Rhuka, and perhaps never felt that he was actually living on a pile of dynamite.
I just don’t know what kind of mood he is in every time he walks on this passage now.
The two of them had the longevity jade with them, so they did not go home, but went directly to the headquarters. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from inside, and the whole building seemed to shake!
"What's going on? Is there anyone who dares to cause trouble in the Supervisory Department?" Leslie said in surprise.
Just as he finished speaking, there was another loud noise from upstairs. Countless glass shattered with a loud crash, and a figure broke through the windows and walls upstairs and flew out, falling to the ground in a mess and sliding several meters away.
At the same time, they discovered that the person who fell out was Todd! His armor was broken in several places, and he looked very embarrassed. Fortunately, Klao was strong and his exoskeleton armor provided some protection, so he didn't die after falling from the seventh floor.
Leslie immediately rushed over to support him without thinking, and shouted anxiously: "Sir, how are you?"
At the same time, another person jumped out of the hole upstairs, fell to the ground with a thud like a huge rock, and walked towards Todd with murderous intent.
The door of the Supervisory Department burst open, and dozens of inspectors from the Supervisory Department rushed out to block Todd. They surrounded the attacker and pointed countless guns at him. As long as Todd gave the order, they would shoot the man into a sieve without hesitation.
But the newcomer was not afraid at all. He didn't even glance at anyone else. He kept staring at Todd, and the anger in his eyes burned like fire.
"Todd, stop it! If the Supervisory Department continues to act recklessly, I'll break your head!"
Tao De stood up with the help of his subordinates, coughed twice, and sneered: "You and I are at the same level, and my authority is higher than yours. Who is the one who is really reckless?"
"Even if I have to explain this to Lord Liuka, I have to make it clear." The man suppressed his anger and said, "Dr. Shan Antai is very prestigious in the entire alliance. He came here at my invitation to study the illness of the people in Liukasao! Why did you let someone kill him for no reason?"
Tao De had no idea who Shan Antai was. The inspectors of the Supervision Department had always had a lot of freedom when they were out in the field, and it was not uncommon for them to accidentally kill a few passers-by. He never cared about it, and he didn't bother to explain it to others. So he said without hesitation: "Kill him if you want, it's none of your business!"
Not only Todd, but even Leslie and Rong Yuan didn't know that the middle-aged man they killed was named Shan Antai. They just followed the clues of the longevity jade and killed all those who tried to snatch it. Rong Yuan only knew that there were no innocent souls under his sword, and he didn't care what those people were called.
However, when this man questioned him, Rong Yuan instantly thought of the middle-aged man who was heavily protected by guards before. He raised his eyebrows and had some guesses in his mind.
Hearing Todd's answer, the man was almost furious, his short hair like steel needles stood up. He took a step forward, and a series of "clicking" sounds suddenly rang out around him. The laser guns in everyone's hands all opened the safety, ready to fire.
These inspectors from the Supervision Department might be gentle, brave, cheerful, or shy at ordinary times, but at this moment, when they faced the outside world in unison, their eyes were all cold and ruthless, like a bloodthirsty blade, without the slightest hesitation. Anyone who saw their eyes would never doubt that if the man dared to take another step forward, they would immediately shoot!
Under such a threat, even the man with the momentum of a volcanic eruption had to take a step back. He looked at Todd's mocking eyes and said angrily: "Todd! This matter will never end like this!"
"Me too." Todd gritted his teeth and said, "Yinmu, what you gave me today, I will definitely return double in the future!"
It turns out that this person is Inmu, the chief of the Armed Combat Department.
Rong Yuan looked at the man thoughtfully.
He was tall and burly, with short black hair, sharp eyebrows, a high nose, a square chin, and a messy short stubble. He looked very scary when he was angry. He was wearing a gray-blue uniform and armor, but you could still see that his muscles were amazing, like a walking human weapon.
In Rong Yuan's other vision, he can see that this man is consistent in appearance and soul, and the light of his soul burns like a red flame, attracting attention like a torch in this world filled with dark fog.
This was the man Rong Yuan had met when he and Muter took the elevator up.
Yinmu and Todd exchanged a few insults, but they could do nothing to each other. Yinmu couldn't really kill Todd here, so he could only warn him. Although Todd had great power, he couldn't let anyone kill the chief of the fighting department, but looking at his expression, there was no doubt that he would take revenge later.
The two parted unhappily. Yin Mu saw Rong Yuan when he was leaving and frowned slightly. Apparently he had a good memory and remembered what had happened before, but he didn't say anything and left with heavy steps.
