Fortunately, Liu Kai's worries were unnecessary.
After decades of development, China's aerospace technology is now considered reliable.
As the air density increased, a rumbling friction sound and a slight vibration gradually came into my ears.
The limbs, which were pressed tightly against the body, also felt the temperature slowly rising.
But Liu Kai could already see a sea of fire before his eyes.
The friction of the outer layer of the protective suit emitted a blazing orange flame, which shone through the special glass mask onto Liu Kai's excited face.
Altitude 10 kilometers.
The cold air here is denser, which quickly carries away the high temperature from the protective suit.
The fiery ball in the sky disappeared, and the descent speed was slowed to subsonic.
The guide parachute and deceleration parachute opened one after another behind me, and a tremendous force came from behind me.
Liu Kai's entire body plunged into the thick clouds and disappeared.
Only after breaking through the clouds and entering the blizzard-stricken world again did the final, massive main parachute deploy.
Liu Kai was swept along by the howling wind and slowly drifted toward the snow-covered mountains of the northern mainland of Cat Ba Island.
The whole process was very quick and discreet.
To keep a low profile, even during the final, potentially revealing descent phase, the parachutes were made of snow-white material.
In the snowy forest, Liu Kai still found the novel experience he had just had fascinating to recall.
Half an hour ago, he was in Chang'an City, 1,500 kilometers away.
Ten minutes ago, he was at the edge of space, 100 kilometers above the ground.
Now it appears silently in a foreign land; this is the power of technology.
While reminiscing, he took off the heavy protective gear.
Think about it quickly.
He eventually put on the bulletproof "bodysuit," but not the cumbersome powered exoskeleton.
He casually threw on a set of light clothes and shoes, slipped into the folded space, and headed towards Cat Ba Island, 30 kilometers away.
The extent to which spatial abilities are exploitable needs no further explanation.
No matter how strong the defenses were, they were useless and could not stop Liu Kai's advance in the slightest.
A moment later, the Feng family's old lair, hidden 350 meters underwater, appeared within the scanning range.
Even though he was mentally prepared, Liu Kai was still slightly shocked by the magnificent underground building.
It was not a standalone building resembling a villa.
Instead, it is an underwater complex built on the bedrock of the seabed.
It is based on eight huge sealed chambers shaped like discs (or tortoise shells) with a diameter of 150 meters.
Arranged in a circle, they bear a striking resemblance to the Bagua symbol of the He Feng family.
Each of the discs extends from the top of a cylindrical chamber, 20 meters in diameter and nearly 50 meters in height.
These compartments were constructed using a combination of reinforced concrete and metal decks.
It was divided into multiple floors and areas, including staff bedrooms and supply warehouses.
The eight buildings, all with identical designs, are connected by several sturdy corridors for people to walk through.
The top features regularly flashing white lights, used to mark locations and as a submarine beacon.
Below are many round pipes of varying thicknesses, used for the exchange and communication of cables, fresh water, and air.
And these eight buildings are only the outer perimeter.
The center is surrounded by the largest circular main structure, resembling the yin-yang symbol in the center of a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) plate.
Its shape is also a pressure-resistant round disc, but its diameter is a full 300 meters.
There are no upward-reaching cylindrical tubes, but there are six layers of areas buried beneath the seabed. It's hard to imagine that such a magnificent underwater complex was built 40 to 50 years ago.
The most amazing thing is...
The base remained remarkably undamaged despite being submerged in highly corrosive seawater.
Such a phenomenon requires that both basic quality and daily maintenance be done perfectly.
Liu Kai even had a moment of greed and wanted to keep it for himself.
After all, compared to this place, his underground fortress in Fenghai paled in comparison.
Of course, it's just a thought; settling here would bring a lot of trouble.
Impressed by the grandeur of the complex, Liu Kai continued to carefully observe its interior.
Although Kazami Yuki's information was based on his state when he was placed under house arrest a year ago, the situation here has not changed much.
Eight French Agosta-class conventional submarines are lurking in the surrounding waters.
There are also 25 civilian mini-submarines inside the base, which appear to be used for daily outings.
There were a total of 422 people, of whom 210 were armed.
Given the unique nature of the underwater base, the internal defense weapons are mainly light automatic rifles, with very few hand grenades.
There are just too many traps and mechanisms.
In addition to stockpiling a large amount of supplies, there were also hydroponic cultivation chambers to meet the needs of the personnel.
Of course, the laboratory that produces the castrated version of the drug is also located inside the base.
A thorough scan of every corner of the underwater base revealed its independent biosphere, sound wave shielding, radiation shielding, tidal power generation, and geothermal power generation capabilities.
There is indeed a small nuclear reactor inside.
Everything was consistent with Kazekage's testimony.
Of course, Liu Kai had already noticed two suspicious points.
Doubtful point one.
Based on the information gathered by Kazami Yuki, he was able to identify most of the internal personnel.
The most important ones are the six core members who are bound to the divination crystal.
According to intelligence, these six loyal henchmen of Kazamigawa have indeed been stationed in the lair for many years.
The remaining nine core members loyal to Kazamigawa, as well as the three descendants of the deceased First Elder and Second Elder, are not here.
But the intelligence also said...
