Volume 2 Ghost Army Chapter 234 Old Man in Military Uniform
The black iron tower at the center of Base No. 16 has a total of 56 floors, each 10 meters high. The main control room that Li Jiu is going to is located on the 28th floor in the middle.
Normally, the soldiers in Base 16 would take the elevator to go up and down the tower, but after the recent battle, the elevator in this black iron tower was no longer usable, so Li Jiu could only walk up the stairs step by step to the 28th floor, which was 280 meters high...
"Hu! Hu!... I... I fuck your grandpa, this is such a rip-off..." After Li Jiu climbed to the 28th floor in one breath, he held onto the stairs and gasped heavily.
Although, with Li Jiu's strong physical fitness after transforming into a biochemical ghost mother, it is not a problem for him to reach the 28th floor in one breath.
However, his transformation time was limited after all, and he had to cross the sea of corpses again before the transformation was over. Otherwise , if he went out with a human body, Li Jiu would be torn into pieces by the zombie army below...
Therefore, after entering the black iron tower, he not only climbed to the 28th floor, which was nearly 300 meters high, in one breath, but also climbed up at the fastest speed, so he consumed a lot of physical strength.
However, in order to quickly activate the base's self-destruction device, he did not dare to rest for too long. After quickly taking two bites of crocodile meat, he immediately entered the main control room.
After coming in, Li Jiu took a quick look at the situation in the room.
This is a fan-shaped hall. On the walls are huge screens. Below the screens are a long row of control instruments. In the middle of the room is a tall chair, which seems to be a special position prepared for the commander.
After seeing the seat, Li Jiu walked over without hesitation.
Because before coming, Seth had told him that the only way to activate the base's self-destruct device was through the intelligent optical computer in front of the seat, which belonged to the base's general.
"Taipei! Taipei! Taipei!..." With the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Jiu quickly came to the vicinity of the seat.
In front of this comfortable seat is a circular transparent desk, where the smart optical computer is located.
"Click!" After Li Jiu walked to the desk, he immediately pulled out a blue card tied with a metal chain from his neck.
This card was given to him by Seth before he came here. It was originally given to Seth by the general of Base No. 16. It must be used to open the general's exclusive intelligent optical computer.
Li Jiu glanced at the desk and quickly inserted the blue card into the groove on the desk.
"Buzz!" Following a trembling sound, a blue light suddenly lit up on the desk, and a fan-shaped virtual screen quickly condensed in mid-air.
Then, Li Jiu quickly browsed the interface on the screen, instantly found the interface for starting the base self-destruction system, and clicked on it.
"Beep, beep, beep..." After clicking, Li Jiu immediately entered the startup password given to him by Seth.
"Are you sure you want to activate the base's self-destruct system?"
"whether!"
After entering the password, a small window popped up on the interface, and Li Jiu clicked "Yes!" without hesitation.
"The self-destruct system was successfully activated. Please set the self-destruct countdown."
"30 minutes!" Li Jiu set the self-destruction time to half an hour. This period of time should be enough for him to return to the shelter and rush out of the base with Seth and others.
"Setting successful!"
"Warning! War Base No. 16 will be automatically destroyed in 30 minutes. All personnel please evacuate immediately!"
"warn!……"
When Li Jiu finished the settings, a huge warning sound echoed throughout the iron tower and quickly spread to the surroundings.
However, Seth and the others who were in the shelter at the moment did not hear the warning, and before Li Jiu entered the central area, they disappeared from the shelter's monitoring system, so they didn't even know whether Li Jiu had successfully reached the central area...
At the same time, when the warning sounded, the zombies around the tower tilted their necks and looked up at the tower with a look of dementia...
“Oh!…Oh!…Oh!…” The zombies attracted by the warning sound, after a moment’s hesitation, swarmed towards the tower and blocked the exit of the tower in an instant…
When Li Jiu saw that the mission was successful, his tense nerves finally relaxed temporarily, and he prepared to leave the central area quickly and go to the shelter to meet up with Seth and others.
“Buzz!”
However, just as he turned to leave, accompanied by a buzzing sound, a beam of blue light suddenly shot out from the ground in the middle of the main control room, and a human-shaped shadow quickly condensed in mid-air!
"Young man, since you have activated the base's self-destruction system, it seems that Base No. 16 cannot escape this disaster. Alas..." Immediately afterwards, the human-shaped shadow suddenly spoke, and his voice sounded like that of an old man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Li Jiu's heart paused, he stopped and quickly turned around.
The human-shaped phantom was actually a white-haired old man wearing a dark green military uniform and a military cap. He looked like a Caucasian man. The old man in the military uniform had an upright posture and a solemn expression. Even though he was a phantom, he had a faint aura of majesty.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiu couldn't help but be slightly startled. He didn't know who this old man was and why he suddenly appeared at this moment...
"However, you were able to successfully activate the self-destruct system. This at least shows that after this battle, the enemies were finally eliminated , and their follow-up troops have not arrived yet, so they have not been able to steal the secrets of the base. This is a blessing in disguise..." The old man in military uniform smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Li Jiu discovered that the old man in military uniform never looked at him when he was talking. It seemed that this was just a video, not a real-time three-dimensional call. This made him feel a little relieved. Otherwise, if someone saw him like this, they would definitely think he was a monster...
"You have activated the self-destruct system, which means you have done a great service for the Alliance. When you return, report this to the Alliance, and the Alliance will naturally reward you." The old man in military uniform smiled and changed the subject, "However, as the general of Base 16, I should have done this myself. Unfortunately, I don't have this opportunity... and since you accepted my order and helped me complete this important task, I, as the general, would like to express my personal gratitude."
Hearing this, Li Jiu couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that this white-haired old man in military uniform was actually the general who controlled the 5 million soldiers in Base No. 16!
This is the most powerful person he has ever seen in the league!
As for the general of the Black Dragon Special Forces, although his military rank is impressive, he is just a mercenary after all. The power he holds is obviously not comparable to that of a genuine general in the military...
Thinking of this, Li Jiu naturally became very interested in what the general meant by "thank you".
