Chapter 337
"Warning, warning, there are intruders!"
Inside the large conference room where the TLT high-level officials were located, a group of ministers sat uneasily.
Just now, they were having a regular meeting when they suddenly received news that someone had broken into TLT's Liberty Fortress and was charging through.
Is it an alien, or a humanoid Space Beast? This kind of thing happens often; after all, TLT is the heart of the United States' resistance against supernatural forces.
A U. S. general immediately called for everyone to evacuate to a hidden and safe place first, but 【Minister Xiangma】 said there was no need to make a fuss.
Their security team members used the far-advanced Visitor technology, and even aliens and humanoid Space Beasts couldn't withstand a round of strafing from special firearms. This commotion would soon be quelled.
So they continued the meeting, and dozens of security team members protected their conference room in three layers inside and out, making the high-level officials inside believe that they would definitely be fine.
But a minute later, the alarm still hadn't stopped. Minister Xiangma suddenly felt a sense of unease and personally inquired about the matter.
"Did the surveillance cameras capture images of the intruders?"
"Yes, they didn't disguise their appearance."
When his subordinates brought up the surveillance footage, everyone's expression froze.
"Not aliens, two humans."
"I know that male! He is a team member named Qi Ming in TPC. Many people think he is the strongest human on the surface, and some of his performances are indeed mind-boggling."
"The female... seems to be named Shan Zhong Antian? She used to be a member of the Night Raiders, and later, when we supported the TPC of Tu Qiao You, she was transferred over."
The TPC, founded with the help of TLT, actually turned around and attacked them. It's outrageous!
"He is too bold. Didn't he consider the consequences? Who gave him the courage?"
"I heard that this Qi Ming is very extraordinary. He can even contact those Ultraman warriors and influence the behavior of Ultraman warriors to a certain extent."
"This is too incredible... but that explains why he is so strong. Could it be that the Ultraman warriors gave him power?"
"But why did he come over? Is TPC going to start a war against the United States? Now that alien invasions are emerging one after another, is TPC still going to start a civil war?" the U. S. general asked.
Many people were puzzled, and Minister Xiangma, who knew that today was the day to execute the 【Capture Dunamist】 plan, had an unnatural expression.
This plan had his affirmation. He felt that as long as they analyzed the power of Ultraman, TLT could immediately gain a huge advantage leading the world.
Even if they offended other Ultraman warriors because of this, it was all worth it.
Could it be because they captured Ji Shi Zhun, so Qi Ming, this "friend of the Ultraman warriors," came to retaliate?
"Administrator Songyong, what is the situation now? Has the captured Dunamist been sent to the laboratory? Can we use the power of light to expel this Qi Ming?" He quietly took out his communicator to contact Administrator Songyong, but there was no reply for a long time.
This made him increasingly uneasy.
"Boom!" The next moment, a burst of screams sounded outside the door, and then the entire door panel of the conference room flew off its hinges and slammed into the wall with a bang.
The alarm in the conference room stopped abruptly, as if even the system was shocked by this momentum.
The high-level officials in the conference room looked at the location of the door in unison, only to see Qi Ming walking in from there, with those security team members who should have been protecting them all lying on the ground.
This made 【Minister Xiangma】 and the group of high-level officials feel incredible. The defensive power of Liberty Fortress was stronger than any military base in the United States, yet someone had fought their way here all the way through!
A female high-level official subconsciously wanted to draw her gun for self-defense, but the U. S. general beside her held her shoulder, signaling her not to act rashly.
Dozens of people at the door were easily knocked down by him; they couldn't possibly deal with him.
Moreover, a soldier's intuition told him that this Qi Ming didn't harbor much malice.
He seemed to be deliberately holding back; there was still room for communication between the two sides, and there was no need to kill.
"Everyone, don't be nervous. I'm not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. Every debt has its debtor." Qi Ming pressed his hand down and looked around: "Who is Minister Xiangma?"
Minister Xiangma, who was named, felt his heart tighten. He squeezed out a smile: "It's Team Member Qi Ming of TPC, right? I know your great name. You are worthy of being the strongest human here. What brings you here?"
Qi Ming's tone was indifferent: "A friend got lost at your place, so I came to look for him."
Minister Xiangma: "Is it that man named Ji Shi Zhun? I think there must be some misunderstanding here."
He wanted to stabilize Qi Ming first and wait for a turning point.
Qi Ming nodded: "You really are in the know."
The next moment, he took out his gun and pulled the trigger at Minister Xiangma's head.
"Bang!" Minister Xiangma's skull was pierced, and he slowly fell down with shock remaining in his eyes, his life gone.
The other high-level executives in the conference room were shocked by Qi Ming's decisiveness. It was too terrifying. Before they had even said two words, he had shot and killed a high-level official.
Given the special nature and importance of TLT, the status of this Minister Xiangma would not be lower than that of the Vice President of the United States!
Lawless!
Most people were too terrified to speak, and the U. S. general stood up and asked: "Can you tell us the reason? Does he have a grudge against you?"
Qi Ming put the gun away: "He has a grudge against my friend and captured my friend."
After speaking, Qi Ming looked at everyone with a terrifying smile:
"You are all in high positions at TLT and are social elites. Here, I hope you, as witnesses, will tell your friends about what you saw and heard today."
"The Ultraman warriors have noble character, like saints. Even if they are attacked and scolded, they will silently endure it, will not hold grudges, and will continue to protect humans, even those who have hurt them before."
"But I am different. I am a very petty person. If anyone dares to target Ultraman in the future, I will definitely not let it go. At that time, this will be the end."
After speaking, Qi Ming walked over and kicked the head of the dead Minister Xiangma, directly kicking his head away like a ball.
Everyone was silent.
A female officer said: "The rumors are true... you really have an unusual relationship with those Ultraman warriors."
The U. S. general was puzzled: "You mean, Minister Xiangma had people capture your Ultraman friend? Is there such a thing? How come I don't know?"
Qi Ming glanced at him and pointed to Minister Xiangma's headless corpse:
"If you knew, you would have gone down to accompany him by now." "In ancient Shenzhou, there was a rule that if you knew someone was going to rebel and you didn't report it, it was also a capital crime involving the nine generations!"
Feeling the chill radiating from him, everyone trembled and stepped back in unison.
Qi Ming saw their reaction and nodded with satisfaction.
This deterrence was enough.
He broke into TLT as a human, just to tell those "carnivores" that he could come and go as he pleased even in the strongest U. S. base; there was no place in the world he couldn't go, and no one he couldn't kill.
After the news spread, there were basically few humans who dared to target Ultraman.
Even if there were stubborn dictators who weren't afraid of death, they would encounter great resistance during execution.
Because there would always be subordinates who were afraid of death who would refuse to execute orders, or even go to Qi Ming to report, so as not to be implicated after the matter was leaked.
This was Qi Ming's goal.
Qi Ming looked at the U. S. general:
"Alright, private matters are done, let's talk about official business."
"You are quite calm, which reminds me of that 'Officer Black'."
"I need you to gather all the members of this base together, I want to check them one by one."
The U. S. general asked calmly: "Check for what?"
Qi Ming: "Check if the mastermind is hiding among you. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
After speaking, Qi Ming turned and walked out of the conference room. A group of high-ranking officials breathed a sigh of relief after knowing that their lives were no longer in danger.
They recalled the process just now and were silent for a while.
Breaking into their base, shooting and killing one of their senior cadres, and then directing them to do things like nothing happened.
Is this "Ultraman's friend"? So bold.
"Then... should we do as he said?"
"Do it. Sending this great god away is more important than anything."
……………………………………
After finishing this matter, Qi Ming went to the 100th floor underground, the deepest part of Liberty Fortress.
On the way, he no longer saw any security squads coming out to stop him. It seemed that the core leaders of TLT had found their place and chose to cooperate.
This is good.
"Team Member Qi Ming, there is really nothing here," said Shan Zhong Antian, who had arrived here early.
Qi Ming used 【See Through】 to look again, but still found nothing.
Forget River is really not here anymore.
"Let's go ask the Visitors to be clear."
"Visitors, are these jellyfish?"
Seeing the jellyfish in Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou's office, Shan Zhong Antian looked suspicious.
Team Member Qi Ming, who had never been to Liberty Fortress before, knew more than she, a former Night Raiders captain.
"Yes," Qi Ming nodded, letting Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou, who was sitting in a chair on the side, help with mental communication.
Qi Ming: "Let's start. My first question is, do you really not know where Forget River went?"
Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou closed his eyes and spoke after a long while: "The Visitors said they couldn't feel it either. Forget River disappeared without a trace, which means the person who summoned it away must know their technology very well."
Qi Ming: "Knowing the Visitors' technology very well, Dark Zagi is the crystallization of your Visitors' technological wisdom. Do you also think Dark Zagi did it?"
Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou: "Yes, the Visitors also believe that Dark Zagi is manipulating all of this behind the scenes."
Qi Ming asked the last question: "How was TLT established? Has there been a battle between 【The Next】 and the ancestor Space Beast 【The One】 in Shinjuku in the past?"
Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou didn't close his eyes this time:
"I can answer this for you. More than thirty years ago, a 'little monster' was discovered in a pigsty on a farm in the United States."
"That was the No. 0 Space Beast. It wasn't powerful at the time and was eliminated by the U. S. military."
"But subsequently, more and stronger Space Beasts appeared. TLT was established to deal with the threat of Space Beasts."
"The Battle of Shinjuku did exist. That was many years ago. The Next and the ancestor Space Beast fought there. In the end, the ancestor Space Beast was no match and escaped into a mysteriously opened wormhole at the last moment when it was about to be completely killed by The Next."
In this mixed world, although The One still lost to The Next, it escaped.
Wait, wormhole...
Is there a possibility that 【The One】 in this world and the The One that invaded my original world are the same one?
Did it escape to my world through that wormhole after being defeated? And then it had to develop again?
Then if I can find the location where the wormhole was opened, can I use this to go home?
Thinking of this, Qi Ming was suddenly excited and his blood boiled: "Give me the location where that wormhole was opened!"
Ji Liang Jiliang Zeyou: "Okay."
After speaking, he wrote the coordinates of that location on a piece of paper and gave it to Qi Ming. Qi Ming looked at it once and put it in his pocket for safekeeping.
Too important, this note is too important!
This was the biggest harvest of his trip, and his journey home finally had a clue.
