Fort St. Katz base.
At the door of the empty elevator, a loud bang suddenly occurred without any warning.
Boom!
The elevator door flew out like a cannonball and hit the wall, deforming on the spot.
In the gray smoke, Bai Sheng kicked the door from the inside of the elevator, hugged Shen Zhuo with one hand, broke out, and rolled up on the ground. Yang Xiaodao, who was following behind the two of them, jumped in easily, raised his gun and scanned the surroundings vigilantly: "Safe."
Bai Sheng stood up from the ground, but before he could reach out to help Shen Zhuo, he regretfully discovered that Shen Jianzhan had already separated from him and took half a step back as if nothing had happened.
"This is the second to last floor of the base, which is the floor above the meteorite storage chamber." Supervisor Shen lowered his head and brushed off the dust on his body as if nothing had happened. "We can find Rong Qi if we go down one more floor."
Bai Sheng glanced at Shen Zhuo from the side, his eyes falling on those hands.
Just now when they were sliding down the steel cable in the elevator shaft, those arms were tightly wrapped around his neck, so obedient and docile, as if they wanted their whole bodies to be closer to him; but as soon as they got out of the elevator, they immediately distanced themselves from each other in a businesslike and diplomatic manner, as if nothing had happened.
"What are you looking at?" Shen Zhuo noticed his abnormality.
"Nothing." Bai Sheng retracted his gaze and murmured, "A heart of thirty-seven degrees can be so cool and cool. Ha, a man."
Shen Zhuo: “?”
"How do we get down?" Yang Xiaodao pointed his gun at the ground, looking eager to blow the floor apart.
"This base cost billions of dollars. The floors are all inlaid with tungsten alloy plates, which are impenetrable." Shen Zhuo motioned for them to follow him, "This way."
The underground floor was full of intelligent facilities and firepower defense. Fortunately, Antonio was able to control the backend and shut down the defense system of the entire base. Otherwise, if Rong Qi used Nelson's authority to activate the high-firepower defense mode, their short journey would be much more exciting.
At the end of the defense passage, Shen Zhuo groped for a long time in the dim light relying on his memory, and finally touched an iron net on the base of the wall. He leaned over and entered a string of passwords with a flashlight, then signaled Yang Xiaodao to come forward and pry open the iron net with a dagger.
Bang!
The iron net fell to the ground, making a loud sound that echoed for a long time.
"This is a temporary water-cooling pipeline. I saw it when I came here for inspection four days ago. It hasn't been sealed yet." Shen Zhuo raised his chin towards the deep and narrow passage behind the iron net, which was only half a meter square. "Climb down and you can go directly to the next floor."
"…" Bai Sheng emphasized: "Climb down?"
Shen Zhuo nodded, his eyes a little complicated.
Bai Sheng and Yang Xiaodao stood there, one of them was S-level and the other was a strong A-level, staring at the hole on the wall with expressionless faces.
"When I was young and ignorant, I thought that a hero who saved the world deserved a grand appearance, but I never expected that the final outcome would be crawling through an air-conditioning hole in an empty underground." Bai Sheng pinched his chin with two knuckles and looked at Shen Zhuo with a complicated expression: "Is there really no other way to go?"
Shen Zhuo pointed behind him and said, "Yes. There is a lift platform about 200 meters in this direction. It is huge and majestic. It descends vertically from top to bottom to the underground trestle. The staff at the base named it the King's Sedan."
