Chapter 9

The iron-gray building, shaped like a pyramid, stood before them.

Although the building was not particularly tall, its thick and stable triangular shape made it appear especially solid and sturdy. The iron-gray exterior gave it a heavy, steel-like texture.

Anyone who saw it at first glance would feel that it was a military fortress, impregnable and made of steel.

Gao Feng also knew that the headquarters building, located in the center of Zone B, had thirteen underground floors. The quantum mainframe, which controlled the entire base, was stored there.

This building, known as the Iron Triangle, was the true core of the base.

In the police car driven by the J900 robot, Gao Feng could see the Iron Triangle building from a distance. Zhou Lei was also very curious about everything here.

Zone A was the work area, and although Zhou Lei could enter Zone A, he had no right to enter Zone B. This was his first time seeing the Iron Triangle building. The sight of the building, which resembled a military fortress, was quite shocking to him.

He had been at the base for four or five years and had heard of the Iron Triangle building, but had never seen it with his own eyes.

The police car drove directly into the Iron Triangle building. Two J900 robots came forward to greet them. Both robots were dressed in iron-gray uniforms, armed, and their expressionless iron faces made people feel very oppressed.

The two robots guided Gao Feng and Zhou Lei to an elevator. When the elevator door opened, one of the robots said, "To enter the secure area, please hand over your weapons."

Gao Feng noticed that one of the robots pressed the B6 floor button, which made him quite startled. Although he had never been to the Iron Triangle building, he knew that the underground floors were the most important core areas of the base.

Normally, Wen Shian would never allow two people with unknown intentions to enter the core area. Moreover, the area would be heavily guarded. If anything happened, there would be no room for resistance.

Just as the elevator was about to close, Gao Feng suddenly reached out to block the closing doors. The two robots simultaneously drew their guns without hesitation.

The reaction of the two robots confirmed Gao Feng's suspicions. He also drew his sword. The Si Feng Sword and another sword were wielded with grace, like wings spreading.

Gao Feng's speed was not particularly fast, but the position of the two swords was just right. As soon as the robots raised their arms, they were cut off by the flying swords. The movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had been rehearsed.

The robots, lacking the ability to feel pain, continued to attack Gao Feng with their fists, despite the sparks flying from their severed arms.

At this moment, Zhou Lei finally realized what was happening. Although he did not know why they suddenly attacked, he instinctively blocked one of the robots.

Limited by their power cores, the robots, despite their steel structure, had no advantage against the Level 5 Light Armor Master Zhou Lei. With the War Wolf Fist Armor on his hand, Zhou Lei punched the robot in the chest.

With a loud bang, the steel plate on the robot's chest exploded, and the chip and power core inside were shattered by the punch.

The robot swayed, its eyes dimmed, and it fell over.

On the other side, Gao Feng had already pierced the chest of the other robot with his sword, completely destroying the power core.

Gao Feng tried to pull the sword out, but the standard Tang Sword was embedded in the robot's chest and could not be removed.

Zhou Lei wanted to help, but Gao Feng shook his head, "No need, the sword is broken. Let's go quickly..." The standard Tang Sword, having pierced the robot's chest plate, was almost useless.

"What's going on?" Zhou Lei couldn't help but ask as they left the elevator. They had started a fight for no apparent reason and had damaged two robots, which was a serious offense. Zhou Lei now felt uneasy.

Gao Feng said, "We don't have much time, let's go. The robot guards will be here soon."

At this point, Zhou Lei had no choice but to follow Gao Feng. The two of them sped up and rushed out before the Iron Triangle building closed.

After leaving the Iron Triangle building, Gao Feng sighed in relief. "If it weren't for the underground race invasion and the dispatch of most of the combat forces to the underground, and the malfunction of the quantum mainframe, we would never have escaped..."

"Why are we running?" Zhou Lei was puzzled. They had managed to get in, but now they were running away. He couldn't understand it.

Gao Feng shook his head, "Let's go, the robot police are coming. I'll explain later."

The vast and quiet Zone B made Zhou Lei hesitant to even breathe loudly. Following Gao Feng, they turned left and right, running about two thousand meters, and arrived at a traditional Chinese villa of the Light Empire.

Red walls, green tiles, and flying eaves. The courtyard was filled with various special flowers. The entire building had a simple, elegant, and gentle style, clearly belonging to a woman.

Gao Feng jumped over a meter-high fence and ran to the building, shouting, "Sisi, Sisi..."

After shouting twice with no response, Gao Feng was about to break the door, but the window above suddenly opened, and a girl poked her head out, surprised, "Gao Feng, why are you here? Come up quickly..."

As she spoke, the room door automatically opened. Gao Feng gestured to Zhou Lei, who was standing there in a daze, "Come in quickly."

Zhou Lei, with a bitter expression, slowly followed Gao Feng into the room. The room was exquisitely decorated and had a traditional imperial style, but Zhou Lei had no interest in looking around. He didn't even greet the beautiful woman in the living room, but found a chair and sat down, looking lost.

Following Gao Feng all the way in, he thought Gao Feng was going to do something earth-shattering.

But after all the trouble, deceiving the highest leader of the base, and damaging the law enforcement robots in the headquarters building, he found out that Gao Feng was just there to see his girlfriend.

This discovery was a huge blow to Zhou Lei. He felt regretful and helpless, thinking he was really foolish to follow a teenager's words and get into this mess. His job was over!

But since Gao Feng had saved his entire family, Zhou Lei, despite his dissatisfaction, would not show it. Compared to three lives, this matter was nothing. However, the frustration was still gnawing at him.

The beautiful woman remained calm and composed, not minding Zhou Lei's rudeness. She treated him as if he were a familiar old friend, with no sense of restraint or discomfort.

"Sir, would you like a cup of tea?" The beautiful woman placed a cup of tea on the table beside Zhou Lei.

"Thank you," Zhou Lei finally came to his senses.

"Sir, what's happening outside?" The beautiful woman asked curiously.

Zhou Lei looked up at the woman, noticing her long, fine eyebrows, bright and spirited eyes, and delicate nose and mouth, typical of a traditional Light Empire woman. It was clear she was of pure Light Empire blood.

Her manners and demeanor were very elegant, and she had a gentle, water-like quality that made people trust her. Zhou Lei hesitated for a moment and said, "The underground race has invaded the base, and the quantum network communication has been cut off, causing many casualties."

"Oh..." The woman covered her mouth in surprise, her bright eyes showing a hint of shock. After a moment, she said, "So that's what happened..."

Gao Feng didn't stay in the living room. After greeting Sisi's mother, he quickly ran up to the second floor.

Sisi stood at the door of the room, wearing a loose, soft pink pajama. She had a full forehead, long eyebrows, large and bright eyes, a straight and high nose, and slightly thick lips.

Her short, black, shiny hair was neat and tidy. Her skin was not particularly white but had a light honey color, smooth and firm. She was very tall, and even in loose pajamas, her well-defined chest, slender waist, and long legs were evident.

This seventeen-year-old girl, though not as delicate and refined as her mother, had a rare air of grandeur and vitality. Even standing still, she exuded a captivating energy. Her good environment and education gave her a unique, clear and elegant quality.

Clear, grand, and lively, Sisi was now so excellent. The original Gao Feng, compared to Sisi, seemed too immature.

Seeing Gao Feng run up, Sisi's smile grew wider, and she waved, "Come in quickly..."

Gao Feng, seeing the living Sisi, couldn't help but hug her tightly. Although they had met the day before, for Gao Feng, it felt like over a hundred years had passed. Despite the integration of future memories, in some aspects, Gao Feng was still a teenager, not the experienced Tianlang King.

"Sisi, it's so good to see you safe..."

The sudden hug made Sisi pause. Gao Feng's strong arms made it hard for her to breathe, but for some reason, she could feel Gao Feng's excitement and joy. She slowly leaned her head on Gao Feng's shoulder, her face showing a gentle and content smile.

Gao Feng gradually calmed down and released her, saying awkwardly, "I got a bit excited..." Gao Feng and Sisi had grown up together, and their relationship was very close. As teenagers, they had never even held hands. The sudden, forceful hug was completely out of bounds for their relationship.

Sisi's face turned red with shyness, but her bright eyes sparkled with joy. She raised her eyebrows playfully, "Did it feel good?"

"Pretty good..." Gao Feng smiled awkwardly. The open and generous Sisi was more persistent and brave in matters of the heart. Only by coming back and starting over did he realize how precious such pure emotions were.

"Sisi, I will always protect you," Gao Feng said seriously.

Sisi was a bit surprised. Gao Feng, who had lost his parents at a young age and was very strong-willed, never liked to express his feelings in words. Although they were so close, this was the first time Gao Feng had openly said he liked her.

Gao Feng's serious words were filled with unwavering determination and sincerity.

This was not just a declaration of love but a man's promise.

Sisi's face turned even redder, and her nose felt a bit sore, as if something was about to overflow from her eyes. She could only look straight at Gao Feng, her smile a bit stiff but filled with indescribable happiness. After a moment, she nodded, "Piggy, you better keep your word..."
