Li Ze walked toward their captain. "I know where the entrance is, but opening it might alert the people below."
The captain frowned. "Are you worried they'll resort to desperate measures?"
"I don't know," Li Ze said. He hadn't met those people and couldn't make a decision.
The captain hesitated for a moment, then said, "Break down the door first, then negotiate with those people."
Li Ze frowned. "I thought you would find some skilled guides to first launch a mental attack on the sentries below, rendering them incapable of moving, and then break down the door."
The captain paused, looking at Li Ze with a somewhat complicated expression. "Guides capable of mental attacks are already few and far between, and their level must be at least S-rank or higher. We can't find many of them on the entire Taotie Star. Moreover, the farther away the distance, the weaker the power of the mental attack. Even SS-rank guides are helpless against each other from a hundred meters away."
Li Ze fell silent, something he hadn't expected.
If he hadn't been injured, he could have attacked those people with his divine sense. However, his divine sense was damaged, and now he was already struggling just to monitor them, let alone do anything else.
Li Ze was the first to enter the mecha parts manufacturing plant. He walked straight down a staircase. There was a door at the bottom of the stairs, and there were a few cigarette butts outside the door, which was probably where the workers were slacking off.
However, Li Ze's target was not the door, but another wall.
“This wall is nearly three meters thick, and behind it is a warehouse. Few people should enter the warehouse, so no one noticed anything unusual for so long,” Li Ze said.
The police officer who had previously inspected the mecha parts manufacturing plant blushed slightly. "We also went into the warehouse, but it was full of valuable parts, so we didn't inspect it very thoroughly."
As he spoke, the officer's voice grew softer and softer.
“The entire planet Taotie is so big. From the surface, this factory seems normal, so it’s normal that the inspection wasn’t very thorough. If it weren’t for Mr. Li Ze, who would have known that they would be hiding here, and a hundred meters underground?” another police officer said.
The captain didn't blame the officer, but instead asked Li Ze, "Mr. Li Ze, do you know the exact location of the door?"
Li Ze nodded and roughly drew a location on the wall. "Here."
Li Ze had already drawn the exact location, but when the police officers approached with their equipment, they still couldn't detect anything unusual.
The officers fell silent.
Was Mr. Li Ze mistaken, or were their instruments less advanced than the other side's?
For a moment, everyone was unsure whether to continue, or whether Mr. Li Ze had made a mistake.
If Mr. Li Ze is mistaken, they will certainly bear considerable responsibility for damaging a warehouse worth tens of billions.
At this moment, everyone secretly went to look at Li Ze, only to see him standing quietly to the side, neither arguing nor flustered. His calm and expressionless demeanor made him seem even more unfathomable.
Just as everyone was hesitating, the captain spoke up, "Cut it open according to the location drawn by Mr. Li Ze!"
Everyone's expression turned serious, and then they breathed a huge sigh of relief.
To be honest, they were both suspicious and unable to help but believe in Li Ze.
After all, he is Li Ze, the man who created countless miracles.
Some people on the StarNet even commented that Li Ze was the most powerful person in the Empire.
Seeing his confident demeanor, what reason did they have not to believe him?
The machine cutting through the wall made no sound at all, but everyone still held their breath, their hearts in their throats.
When the beeping sound echoed throughout the industrial park, everyone present knew that there was indeed something underneath, and that they had been exposed.
Inside the underground laboratory, Dr. Fujiko's face suddenly darkened as he received the experimental subjects. "You've been discovered!"
"Impossible, my quantum beast did not detect anything unusual."
"Mine doesn't have any either. Besides, my mental energy is always on alert of my surroundings, so if someone is following me, it's impossible for me not to notice."
"Heh, if no one noticed, then what's with the alarm going off now? My alarm system is the most advanced in interstellar space; it's impossible for it to malfunction," Dr. Vine Armor sneered.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud thud came from the ground, like the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.
"Now what do you have to say?" Dr. Fujika said angrily. He turned and went into the laboratory to pack his things. His experimental data was his life, and he had to take them with him.
"Boss, what should we do now?" the underlings asked their leader.
“Leave by another route, taking those sentries with you.”
"yes."
"There really is a door. What should we do now? Go down?" the officer asked.
"Send down a few combat robots first," the captain ordered.
"Roger that. Captain, how many should we release?"
Ten.
Although they are all combat-type robots, these robots vary in size, with the largest being about the size of a two-year-old child and the smallest only the size of two adult men's fists.
The robots went underground, and they could use the footage they captured to explore the conditions below.
"What a grand gesture! The walls and floors are made of the most expensive and top-of-the-line materials currently available in interstellar space. Not only are they fireproof and waterproof, and resistant to strong acids and alkalis, they are also extremely tough; even a magnitude 15 earthquake can't break them!" an officer exclaimed.
"Who spent so much money to make this thing, and what was their purpose?"
"It's obviously an illegal experiment. It's rampant throughout the interstellar space. For every one of them we dig up, they build another one. And those people often have access to the most cutting-edge technology in the entire interstellar space, making it extremely difficult for us to find them."
"Are they arresting so many sentries for human experimentation?"
"Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of those inhuman creatures that appeared a few days ago during the Top Ten Military Academies Mecha Competition."
"Wow! What a coincidence!"
The next second, a monster suddenly burst into the scene.
"ah--"
The officers were taken aback.
Upon seeing the familiar creature, their faces darkened. "It really is that thing."
In the scene, the creature is swept by the robot's guns, but it doesn't react at all; its body is like a lump of putty, swallowing the bullets.
Then, it broke off a piece of its own finger and threw it at the robot.
A loud bang was heard, and then the screen ripped shut.
“I still have the footage here, but it’s completely dark now, I can’t see anything,” another officer said.
"Oh no, they've activated a signal jammer, and I can't see anything on my screen."
"Captain, should we attack?"
The captain fell into deep thought.
“No need to go in, they have another exit,” Li Ze suddenly said.
