Chapter 230 This is a representative sent by the Lord of Doomsday Fortress
The airport near Beijing has been completely sealed off, inside and out.
High-ranking officers from the base were already waiting there early on, with layers of protection and tight security.
Several helicopters arrived first. After Lin Muyan followed Xiao Li off the plane, she saw Huang Zhen and Shen Jiaojiao getting off as well.
During the past few days, Shen Jiaojiao remained very composed. Even when they made eye contact, she never came up to her or lingered around, as if she didn't know her at all.
The more mischievous Shen Jiaojiao used to be, the more abnormal she is now.
Lin Muyan didn't think such a person would suddenly change their nature, but she had actually become smarter, so she must be gossiping behind her back.
Huang Zhen's initial dislike for her was only superficial; there was no deep-seated hatred between them.
But now, Huang Zhen looked at her with extreme hatred, and even the expression on his face when he looked at her and Xiao Li was extremely subtle.
Lin Muyan guessed that Shen Jiaojiao might have spread some unpleasant rumors about her and Xiao Li in front of Huang Zhen, which made Huang Zhen, who was already dissatisfied with Xiao Li as a "second-generation rich kid," look down on the two of them even more.
"Young man from the Xiao family, you've finally arrived. Three days have passed since I received the news that you were coming. I thought you weren't coming."
Just then, a well-to-do military officer walked towards them, accompanied by several elderly men who all looked dignified and of high status.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Li immediately introduced him to Lin Muyan in a low voice:
"The one speaking is General Zhang Dong of the Beijing Military Region. The elderly men next to him are also generals, and there are a few others I don't recognize, but I guess they are leading figures in certain fields."
Lin Muyan's expression flashed upon hearing this. This was quite a grand affair, with so many high-ranking officials of general rank arriving all at once.
It seems that the city of Beijing attaches great importance to her doomsday fortress. They don't even know what kind of building it is, yet they still give it such high priority. It is likely that after experiencing several natural disasters, the higher-ups are very wary of the apocalypse. In addition, many industries have been destroyed, and it will be very difficult to restore construction capabilities in a short period of time to build the so-called shelter.
That's why they pinned their hopes on her doomsday fortress.
Zhang Dong is considered a top leader in Huang Zhen's faction. Even Huang Zhen rarely gets to speak directly with General Zhang.
When he saw that the person who came to pick him up was none other than General Zhang Dong, he immediately felt a deep respect for him and re-evaluated the importance of his mission.
It seems that the small vial of mysterious liquid he was asked to transport was extremely important, as the General Staff Headquarters had directly dispatched so many generals to receive it.
He quickly led Shen Jiaojiao forward to greet them.
"General Zhang, reporting to the General, Huang Zhen has lived up to expectations and successfully delivered the important items!"
Huang Zhen's expression was solemn. After speaking, he was about to push Shen Jiaojiao forward so that she could hand over the mysterious liquid in front of several high-ranking officials.
Shen Jiaojiao was extremely excited. Being able to show her face in front of so many big shots, she was really impressive. This trip to Beijing was worthwhile.
Shen Jiaojiao, maintaining her supposedly composed smile, took only two steps forward when Zhang Dong spoke:
"Huang Zhen, put your things aside for now. When you get back to the unit, just hand them over to the research and development team. I have more important things to deal with right now. Please wait aside for a moment."
As soon as Zhang Dong finished speaking, without giving Huang Zhen a chance to speak, he beckoned two of his deputies to lead Huang Zhen and his group aside, preventing them from hearing their conversation.
Huang Zhen was dumbfounded, and Shen Jiaojiao almost lost her temper.
They were taken aside, to a distance from which they could clearly see what was happening on Lin Muyan's side, but could not hear what they were saying.
Dozens of armed guards stood nearby, watching them closely as if to prevent them from eavesdropping.
Huang Zhen's eyes flickered, his mind racing.
His intuition told him that this was no simple matter. Xiao Li had probably brought a mission that was even more important than his own, otherwise so many generals wouldn't have taken it so seriously.
But what he couldn't understand was why Lin Muyan was following along.
Shen Jiaojiao was so angry that she twisted her hands together, pinching them until they were red, but she didn't even realize it.
She glared venomously at Lin Muyan, who was standing in the crowd.
Why does this bitch always get so much attention? Shouldn't she be punished by God? Why is she living such a good life?
"Young Master Xiao, where is that Lord of the Doomsday Fortress?"
Throughout the entire process, none of the generals took Lin Muyan seriously.
Xiao Li pointed at Lin Muyan and said:
"This is the representative sent here, Lin Muyan. She will be the one to conduct the investigation."
Zhang Dong and the others were taken aback by what they heard, and their gazes all fell on Lin Muyan.
If Xiao Li hadn't taken the initiative to introduce her, they would never have associated Lin Muyan with the Doomsday Fortress.
Although they had noticed Lin Muyan at first, they were puzzled as to why Xiao Li, who was usually without a woman by his side, had brought a young and beautiful girl with him this time.
But none of them asked or paid much attention. It's normal for young people to fall in love when they reach a certain age, and they didn't care about such things.
But now, this young woman is actually a representative sent by the Lord of the Doomsday Fortress, which instantly dashed the hopes of Zhang Dong and the others.
Sending such a young person to handle such an important matter is obviously unreliable.
Consequently, their expectations for the doomsday fortress have also decreased significantly.
It could just be a young person overestimating their abilities and trying to gain attention during the apocalypse.
This doomsday fortress seems to be just a bluff; don't get your hopes up too high.
Zhang Dong's expression changed, and he pulled Xiao Li aside.
"Let's talk in private. Xiao Li, are you sure your old man isn't going senile?"
Xiao Li's expression was cold. He could question his grandfather, but he couldn't question Lin Muyan!
“General Zhang, you should know what kind of person my grandfather is. Also, I think you'd better not offend this representative sent by the Lord of Doomsday Fortress. You can't afford the consequences.”
“My grandfather boldly suggested to them that the second doomsday fortress could be built in Beijing. But don’t let your rudeness anger them and they might build the doomsday fortress somewhere else. Can you bear the consequences?”
After Xiao Li finished speaking, he looked coldly at Zhang Dong.
Zhang Dong is a seasoned veteran, and he understands the character of the Xiao family grandfather and grandson.
His heart sank immediately, and he whispered:
"I understand now. Thank you for reminding me. I had misunderstood."
Zhang Dong abandoned his disrespectful attitude towards Lin Muyan, quickly walked back, and now treated her with more respect.
"Miss Lin Muyan, is that right? I am General Zhang Dong, who is in charge of overall coordination at the Beijing Military Region base. I am very pleased that you can come to the Beijing Special Zone for inspection."
Lin Muyan glanced at Xiao Li secretly. It must have been Xiao Li who spoke up for her that made the other party's attitude much better.
The two shook hands, and the generals and high-ranking officials behind them all looked surprised.
Huang Zhen squinted, increasingly confused.
As for Shen Jiaojiao, she was so angry she was practically spitting fire. Her chest heaved, and resentment and jealousy churned within her, making her eyes bloodshot.
