Chapter 8

B District is a residential area for the high-ranking officials of the base, consisting of independent three-story villa-style buildings. The architectural styles range from the traditional Chinese style of the Bright Empire, to the magical and stern style of the Titan Empire, and the exquisite and luxurious style of the Odin Empire.

The opulence inside makes every visitor marvel in admiration.

B District also has the highest security measures among all residential areas. The entire neighborhood is enclosed by an invisible electric fence. At the only entrance, a team of J900 fully intelligent security robots guards 24/7.

Inside the neighborhood, tens of thousands of scanners are installed. Any unauthorized living being, even a fly, cannot sneak into the neighborhood undetected.

When Zhou Lei heard that Gao Feng wanted to enter B District, he told him about the strict security measures inside. Although Zhou Lei didn't have the qualifications to live in B District, as the deputy captain of the security team, he was very familiar with the security situation inside.

Gao Feng frowned slightly. He had entered B District twice with Sisi, but he didn't realize the security measures were so stringent. This level of security far exceeded normal needs.

"Is there some bigwig inside?" Gao Feng guessed to himself. Regardless of the danger, he had to find Sisi.

When the electric car arrived at the entrance to B District, they saw that the iron gate was completely closed. Two red lights were flashing silently. A cold electronic voice was repeatedly saying, "Emergency situation, B District is in Level 1 alert. No outsiders are allowed to enter. To leave, you must obtain A-level authorization. Note, this is not a drill. Everyone stay in your rooms and do not go out. Note, this is not a drill..."

Zhou Lei stopped the car and said helplessly, "B District is completely sealed off, we can't get in."

Gao Feng was also surprised. The security in B District was so tight, it was beyond his expectations. However, such strict security would ensure Sisi's safety, which made him feel more at ease.

But he couldn't just wait outside; he had to see Sisi as soon as possible. Once the underground monster army rushed in, the strict security of B District would be a joke.

With Gao Feng's current strength, forcibly entering would be too dangerous. Gao Feng got out of the car and walked to the gate, shouting into the surveillance camera, "I am Gao Feng, I need to see Wen Sisi."

The response came quickly, "Level 3 alert. All visitor activities are prohibited." The cold electronic voice showed no emotion.

Although the answer was not unexpected, Gao Feng was still a bit annoyed. He shouted again, "I have an extremely urgent matter and need to see the base executive president, Wen Shian."

"Permission denied, request rejected." The J900 robots have high intelligence and many preset programs for handling emergencies. According to their scan, Gao Feng was only 17 years old and not yet an adult. His identity was just that of an ordinary student. The so-called emergency situation was not credible.

Gao Feng knew that the J900's thinking was completely intelligent, even more accurate than that of an average adult. They have no emotional fluctuations. Once they make a judgment, any form of pleading will be rejected.

"Right, there's still one person!" Gao Feng suddenly thought of Zhou Lei. With Zhou Lei's status, requesting to report an emergency situation might still be allowed.

"Brother Zhou, you speak. Say there's an extremely urgent matter that needs to be reported to Wen Shian." After a pause, Gao Feng lowered his voice, "If it still refuses, say it concerns the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan and request the highest emergency authority."

Zhou Lei frowned. To see his girlfriend, it wasn't necessary to make such a big fuss. He didn't know what the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan was, but he was sure it was a very important plan. Zhou Lei found it hard to accept Gao Feng's method.

After all, his status was different from Gao Feng's. Gao Feng could act recklessly, and if others found out, they would just say he was young and inexperienced. But if he followed Gao Feng's lead, the nature of the situation would change. As the head of the security team, acting this way would be criminal.

After Gao Feng finished speaking, he noticed that Zhou Lei's expression was off. Gao Feng quickly understood what Zhou Lei was worried about. He paused and then said seriously, "Brother Zhou, do you trust me?"

Under Gao Feng's sharp, black eyes, Zhou Lei involuntarily lowered his gaze. Gao Feng's eyes were too piercing, like a sharp sword, almost piercing through his soul.

Zhou Lei also remembered that before entering the Anfu Building, Gao Feng had asked him to use the light armor and asked the same question. Thinking about Gao Feng's extraordinary abilities, the miracles he had created, and his kindness, Zhou Lei felt ashamed that he had underestimated Gao Feng because of his age.

"I trust you," Zhou Lei said solemnly.

"I am Deputy Captain Zhou Lei of the security team, and I have an extremely urgent matter to report to Executive President Wen Shian." Standing in front of the gate, Zhou Lei repeated the reason Gao Feng had fabricated for him. He didn't like lying, and the necessity of lying made his heart race, his palms sweat, and he felt very uneasy.

A virtual screen appeared on the iron gate, showing the image of a J900 robot in a police uniform. To distinguish it from a real person, the J900's face was made of steel. Although it was very smooth, it was clearly different from a human face.

"Your identity has been verified. However, Deputy Captain Zhou Lei, please consider carefully. It is currently a Level 1 alert, and military control is in effect. The situation you describe will be recorded in your file. If you lie, you will face military legal sanctions."

The emotionless words of the J900 put immense pressure on Zhou Lei.

Military legal sanctions were no joke. If the situation was serious, he could be sentenced to several decades in prison. Sweat immediately broke out on Zhou Lei's forehead. But he was a decisive person. Since he had promised Gao Feng, he had to get the job done.

"I have an extremely urgent matter and request to see Executive President Wen Shian immediately," Zhou Lei repeated.

The J900 nodded, "The request is being submitted. Deputy Captain Zhou, please wait a moment."

Gao Feng also breathed a sigh of relief. The J900 was clearly trying to intimidate Zhou Lei. This was part of their emergency response procedures, using intimidation to test the credibility of the person. If Zhou Lei had been scared or too hesitant, the J900 might have judged that Zhou Lei was lying and rejected his request.

After waiting for two more minutes, the virtual screen on the gate changed, showing a handsome man with glasses. Zhou Lei was a bit puzzled. As a mid-level official in the base, he had seen Wen Shian before, but who was this person?

The handsome man with glasses seemed to notice Zhou Lei's confusion and smiled slightly, "I am Tao Rui, Secretary to President Wen. Deputy Captain Zhou, if you have an urgent matter, you can tell me first. I will relay it to President Wen truthfully."

Zhou Lei couldn't help but glance at Gao Feng, who shook his head slightly. Zhou Lei then said, "No, this matter is very important, and I must report it to President Wen himself."

Tao Rui's face showed a hint of displeasure. Although he was just a secretary, his authority was very high. He was responsible for specific execution, and his actual power was enormous. Not just Deputy Captain Zhou Lei, even the head of the security team, Wang Qi, would treat him with respect.

"You must tell me what the urgent matter is. Without that, you cannot see President Wen."

Zhou Lei knew he had offended Tao Rui, but as a man from the military, he didn't like these cunning and deceitful civil servants. Besides, he had no choice but to go all the way.

"Your authority is insufficient. I cannot tell you about this matter. You only need to tell President Wen that it concerns the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan," Zhou Lei said loudly. He actually didn't know what the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan was, nor did he understand why it was more important than the invasion the base was facing. But he was dissatisfied with Tao Rui's attitude, and his words were full of authority.

Tao Rui was taken aback. The 'Heavenly Dragon' plan was top-secret, and only a few people, including himself, knew about it. He never thought that someone like Zhou Lei could know about the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan.

"Wait a moment," Tao Rui said, closed the video, and quickly left the room, walking to the president's office. He took a deep breath and then gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

With permission, Tao Rui pushed the door open.

The president's office was spacious and luxuriously furnished. Wen Shian was talking to the base's supervisory specialist, Li Wenhe. Seeing Tao Rui enter, Wen Shian looked up and asked, "What is it?"

The base had been invaded by the underground race, and the situation was dire. Wen Shian was in a bad mood. Although he knew Tao Rui must have come for an important reason, he couldn't help but frown.

Tao Rui bowed respectfully and said, "President Wen, Deputy Captain Zhou Lei of the security team requests to see you. He has important information about the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan to report."

Wen Shian's expression changed slightly. How could an outsider know about the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan, especially at this critical moment? After a moment's thought, he said, "Let him in."

Tao Rui nodded and quickly left the room.

Supervisory Specialist Li Wenhe asked in surprise, "Shian, has the situation changed?"

Wen Shian's face was grim. "An outsider knows about the 'Heavenly Dragon' plan. It's unbelievable. Especially at this critical moment, he insists on seeing me. His intentions are suspicious! He might be a spy for one of the factions, trying to take advantage of the situation..."

Li Wenhe agreed with this theory. The person's arrival was too suspicious, and he was likely a spy. He said coldly, "Hand this person over to me, and I will interrogate him thoroughly..."

Li Wenhe's sinister smile made even Wen Shian uncomfortable. Li Wenhe was ruthless, and Wen Shian was somewhat wary of him. Falling into his hands would be worse than death. Thinking of this, Wen Shian couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic for the unfortunate person.
