The car quickly left the urban area and headed towards the barren mountains and wild ridges.
After a series of left and right turns, it finally stopped in front of a cave.
"This is your Futu Base?" Xiao Zheng looked around, curiously asking.
Black Rose and Bai Mudan both nodded, then walked straight to the cave entrance.
The cave had a steel gate, and Bai Mudan walked up to a certain spot, looked at it, presumably to scan her iris, and then a fingerprint lock popped up.
Bai Mudan pressed her pale and slender palm against it, and then the steel gate slowly opened.
"Let’s go, inside is our Futu Base," Black Rose said, leading the way.
Xiao Zheng smirked, finding that the Futu Base did seem to be sothing substantial with its iris and fingerprint scanners—it indeed had the air of those high-tech movies.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Zheng followed the two won inside, and when the trio entered the cave, the steel gate automatically closed behind them.
What caught his eye was a very long corridor.
Along the sides of this long corridor, Xiao Zheng noticed many caras and he also saw laser guns; besides that, there were thermal sensors—any living thing that walked in could be detected.
"Tsk, tsk, the security is not bad," Xiao Zheng comnted admiringly.
"Of course, we’ve spent hundreds of millions of US Dollars to construct the Futu Base. Not even a fly could get in here."
"Don’t wander off, or if you trigger any traps or chanisms, we can’t guarantee your safety," they warned.
Black Rose and Bai Mudan’s tones were full of pride; in their eyes, the Futu Base was the most formidable bulwark conceivable.
Based on the level of these security defenses, it could be considered the highest level of protection. If Xiao Zheng wanted to force his way in, it would probably take a significant effort.
Of course, if he really wanted to infiltrate the base, Xiao Zheng had ways to do so, more than one in fact.
At the end of this long corridor was an elevator.
Like the outer gate, the elevator required iris and palm recognition before its doors would open.
The three of them stepped into the elevator.
Xiao Zheng found no floor numbers inside the elevator, only two arrows, one pointing up and the other down.
"Ready? The elevator is quite fast," Black Rose said with a teasing tone.
Xiao Zheng was taken aback; he didn’t understand what Black Rose ant. But as he was about to ask for clarification, Black Rose’s finger was already pressing the downward arrow.
Imdiately, the elevator plumted with the speed of a bungee jump.
Xiao Zheng was unprepared. When the elevator sharply descended, his body swayed and he was about to fall to the floor. Black Rose and Bai Mudan stood close to the elevator walls, waiting to see Xiao Zheng make a fool of himself. They hadn’t inford Xiao Zheng because they wanted to see his embarrassnt.
But who was Xiao Zheng? He was none other than the Evil God!
Just as he was about to fall, Xiao Zheng’s tilting body stopped abruptly because his finger had braced against the floor.
"You wanted to see make a fool of myself?" With a slight effort, Xiao Zheng stood upright, "You’re going to be disappointed!"
Xiao Zheng looked playfully at them, standing firm as a javelin planted in the ground, unwavering despite the elevator’s velocity.
Black Rose and Bai Mudan exchanged glances, both dumbfounded, and had to admit that Xiao Zheng really had so tricks up his sleeve.
The speed of the elevator began to slow down; it seed they had reached the bottom.
About ten seconds later, the elevator ca to a stop and the doors opened. Black Rose and Bai Mudan were the first to walk out, followed closely by Xiao Zheng.
What t their eyes was a very spacious area filled with nurous advanced weapons and equipnt, so of which Xiao Zheng had never seen before.
There were many people on the square, which seed like a bustling activity center, and so were training in the ring.
When Xiao Zheng and the two won arrived, everyone’s gaze turned toward them.
"Big sister."
"Boss lady!"
Many people greeted Black Rose and Bai Mudan, which suggested that their status wasn’t as low as Xiao Zheng had imagined.
They crossed this area and ca to a relatively smaller square.
Xiao Zheng felt a surge of alarm, realizing that along the way he had seen many extraordinary individuals, and the weaponry and equipnt were so advanced. Many of them, he hadn’t just never seen before, he hadn’t even heard of them.
In this smaller square, there weren’t as many people, but Xiao Zheng could tell that those who qualified to be here were most likely the elite mbers or top experts of Futu.
"Sis, you’re back?" A young man with black hair walked up to them.
Black Rose and Bai Mudan greeted the young man with a smile and then asked, "Is the helmsman around?"
"The helmsman is in a video conference with the higher-ups, but he should be down shortly," the young man replied with a smile. His curiosity shifted to Xiao Zheng and he inquired, "Is this the legendary Evil God?"
Black Rose nodded and responded affirmatively.
The black-haired young man looked at Xiao Zheng with interest, his eyes full of surprise but also a touch of scorn.
"I thought Evil God would be sothing special, but he doesn’t look all that impressive," the young man sneered, his disdain quite evident in his tone.
Xiao Zheng gave a shallow smile and said, "You’ll have to ask Black Rose and Bai Mudan about that. They’ve had quite the experience of my capabilities, oh yes."
His words were quite ambiguous, giving off a provocative and sensational vibe.
"You!"
"Hmph!"
Black Rose and Bai Mudan were so frustrated they were itching with irritation. Xiao Zheng always managed to leave them speechless, and it took just one sentence to infuriate them every ti.
The young man’s expression stiffened, and his eyes filled with anger as he said coldly, "You can joke around, but don’t joke with them. Do you understand?"
"Oh? Are you threatening ?" Xiao Zheng raised an eyebrow, and his expression turned icy in an instant as he said, "Who gave you the mistaken impression that you have the right to speak to ?"
The atmosphere beca tense in a flash, charged with the potential for conflict.
But just then, a warm voice broke the silence.
"Welco, welco."
An elegant man ca forward, followed by two grim-looking middle-aged n.
"Evil God, long ti no see!" The man was none other than Zhu Chanji.
Xiao Zheng, seeing the main party had arrived, couldn’t be bothered to squabble with the young man. He shook hands with Zhu Chanji, and the two embraced, like old friends reuniting after many years.
"Old Zhu, you’ve really made it! Not only are you the helmsman, but you’ve also got fans and little admirers. Where did you find these beauties?" Xiao Zheng teased.
Zhu Chanji was sowhat exasperated, not expecting Xiao Zheng to be the sa as before, and he replied helplessly, "You, always so irreverent!"
