Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 961 Nuclear Defense Fortress
After getting off the elevator, Li Jiu followed Mr. Knight and walked among the awakened people in the cave.
"gentlemen!"
"Hello, sir!"
"Sir, you are here!"
…
Seeing Mr. coming, the awakened people who were practicing their superpowers on the spot immediately made way for him, bent down slightly, and greeted Mr. Knight very respectfully.
Li Jiu could see that these people's respect for Mr. Knight came from the bottom of their hearts.
This made him secretly sigh in his heart that Mr. Knight was indeed a natural leader. His prestige among his subordinates had reached an incredible level.
At the same time, everyone at the scene looked at Li Jiu, who was following Mr. Knight, with curiosity.
Although most people at the scene had never seen Li Jiu, it seemed that anyone who could follow Mr. Knight was definitely not a simple character.
Facing the gazes of so many awakened people at the scene, Li Jiu couldn't help but frown, and suddenly felt an invisible pressure enveloping him, as if it was going to make him breathless.
Although there was no hostility in the eyes of these people, they were all awakened people with various superpowers after all. Even a simple and casual glance carried an invisible faint pressure. With so many gazes gathered together, the great pressure could naturally be imagined.
However, compared with the first time he came to the headquarters, Li Jiu is no longer the same as before. Not only has he mastered the ability to transform into an armored terminator, but his ability level has also broken through to the middle level of the monarch level. His mental strength is so powerful that it far exceeds that of the awakened ones of the same level.
The next moment, he just moved his mind and emitted the huge spiritual power in his soul space out of his body, easily offsetting the invisible pressure from everyone's gazes, and continued to follow Mr. Knight forward as if nothing had happened.
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, everyone at the scene couldn't help but show surprise in their eyes.
You know, although everyone was just curious about Li Jiu's identity and looked at him, there was indeed no enemy in their eyes, and no one could emit supernatural power to oppress Li Jiu. However, at the same time, there were also many people who wanted to test Li Jiu's strength in this way.
As far as they know, even if it is a mid-level monarch or even a late-level monarch awakener, it is impossible to be so relaxed when facing the gazes of thousands of people at the same time.
The fact that Li Jiu could act so nonchalant naturally shocked many people, and they became even more curious about the extent of Li Jiu's strength.
…
Following Mr. Knight through the entire cave, Li Jiu and the others finally arrived at the side of the cave, in front of a door made of special metal.
"Sir, this is..." Looking at the door in front of him, Li Jiu couldn't help but flash a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
From this golden door, he felt a heavy feeling that seemed indestructible. It seemed that behind this door might be an important place of the Dark Knight's headquarters.
"This mission is of great importance and cannot be carried out in public. Even if it is carried out inside our headquarters base, we must choose to carry it out in the most solid nuclear-proof fortress." Mr. Knight explained expressionlessly, pressing his palm deeply on the door in front of him.
“Buzz!”
Suddenly, a trembling sound came from the heavy door that looked simple and unremarkable.
"call out!"
Immediately afterwards, a beam of red light suddenly shone out from the center of the gate, enveloping Li Jiu and Mr. Knight.
Seeing this scene, Li Jiu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He quickly stood up and didn't dare to move at all.
He was not unfamiliar with this red light. He had seen it when he first came to the headquarters base.
As far as he knew, this light, while verifying the identity of the person coming, had secretly activated a powerful defensive firepower. The person standing inside for inspection must not move, otherwise, he might be instantly blown to pieces by the powerful firepower on the gate.
Fortunately, it only took a moment for the red light to retract into the gate. Li Jiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“Boom!”
Immediately afterwards, the heavy metal door slowly opened with a roar.
"Okay, follow me in." After the door opened, Mr. Knight said lightly and walked in without looking back.
Li Jiu, after taking a curious look at the thickness of the door that was said to be able to withstand nuclear explosions, followed Mr. Knight in.
And when the two of them walked in, the door slammed shut again.
…
After entering the gate, there is a winding passage. Li Jiu secretly estimated that it might be over a thousand meters long.
After he followed Mr. Knight to the end of the passage, he took an elevator and went underground for an unknown distance before arriving at the interior of this nuclear-proof fortress.
"this……"
Li Jiu was immediately shocked when he saw the interior of the fortress for the first time.
He saw that the space he saw in front of him was as big as the provincial competition venue!
In other words, the entire fortress can accommodate millions of people at the same time!
Then, Li Jiu looked up at the top of this space again, and saw that it was hundreds of meters high.
After watching for a while, Li Jiu's gaze finally fell on the densely packed crowd not far in front of him.
Looking around, there were so many people there that it was impossible to tell exactly how many there were, but it was definitely at least tens of thousands.
"Did you see it? These people are the ones I brought back during this period, and most of them are likely to have hidden superpowers in their bodies." Mr. Knight said to Li Jiu, pointing at the crowd in front.
"Most people? In other words, not all people are certain to have potential superpowers?" Li Jiu said after a moment of hesitation.
"Well, there are still too many people after all. Even with the method I mentioned, it is impossible to accurately determine whether each of them has hidden superpowers. So, I will have to trouble you later to help them check themselves again." Mr. Knight nodded.
"I understand, sir." Li Jiu nodded in response.
Afterwards, under the guidance of Mr. Knight, Li Jiu walked up to the group of people, ready to activate the supernatural powers for them.
Before that, Mr. Knight introduced Li Jiu to four other people who were going to carry out the mission at the same time as him.
Each of these four people is a soul control awakener like Li Jiu, and all of them have supernatural power levels that have reached the monarch level or above!
In addition, it is worth mentioning that Li Zhen, who had been determined to exclude Li Jiu at the beginning, was naturally also involved.
