This palpitating but completely reasonable speculation made Sheila and Gates subconsciously glance at each other, no matter how bitter their hearts were, they had to admit that what Li Jie said was probably the truth.

The situation now is that they don't know the number of enemies, they don't know what kind of capabilities they have, they don't know how far they have got, and they don't even know what they are.

What's more, they can't find an effective way to distinguish between these shape-changing anomalies, and any instructions or actions may be leaked before they even go out.

And even if only a small part of it is as destructive as last night, or even more powerful......

The consequences can be imagined.

At this moment, for the first time in his life, the ruler of America felt that his life was out of control and could not see the direction of the future, but Sheila quickly calmed down and said:

"What about you? Bruce? You seem to distinguish yourself from other kinds. ”

Li Jie, who was holding the tea cup, smiled, his eyes suddenly became sharp and abnormal, in the eyes of Sheila and Gates, it was like the sun that was originally obscured by dark clouds gradually revealing its true face, infinite light and heat swayed, and even some felt like they couldn't open their eyes.

Then, in their horror and apprehension, they saw this strange young man in front of them and said:

"Mr. Minister, why was the United States able to win the War of Independence and get rid of colonial rule?"

Gates couldn't hold back the feeling of being stung for no reason, and didn't want to appear weak in front of Li Jie, but he didn't realize that it made his expression look a little funny, and replied with a grin:

"Because of the involvement of France, Spain and the Netherlands, they don't want to see Britain too strong."

If you want to say high-sounding words. That is, of course, the development of capitalism, the support of the people, the just war and so on. But here are people who understand. He didn't need to engage in these quibbles, so he simply put it bluntly.

And as he finished saying this, he and Sheila shook almost at the same time, and understood what the other was trying to convey - these aliens were also not monolithic, regardless of interests, opinions or other issues, in short, mutual containment led to different attitudes.

"How do we know you're telling the truth and not trying to gain trust?"

In fact, when she said this, it showed that Sheila already had a tendency in her heart.

"Good. Everything has to be asked, why? Li Jie returned to the sofa and sat down, and the powerful momentum made Sheila and Gates feel more and more uncomfortable, but they had to grit their teeth and insist. Why did I choose to go against the others? Because my kind thinks that humans are too fragile to be treated as equals, but unlike me, I want to use your technology and potential to give myself some help. Therefore, the stronger the human being, the more useful it is to me. ”

He looked at the two of them. Showing white and neat teeth, the smile clearly looks sunny and kind. But it sent chills to Sheila and Gates.

In fact, the more important point is the deep-rooted nature of demons, the more powerful the demons, the more difficult it is to coexist peacefully with their kind, they are like kings who are born to stand at the top of the food chain, and they are not willing to share their territory with anyone at all.

In contrast, it is easier for a weaker group of humans to reach an agreement.

This is also the reason why Li Jie is willing to support human beings, in essence, he has the same opinion as other people of the same kind, after all, human beings have evolved too shortly, even with their own help, they are still weak, and it is difficult to pose a threat to themselves. But at the same time, it is precisely because they have given up the pursuit of their own evolution that their research on the microcosm and macrocosm has reached a considerable level, which helps them to find a new way forward after hitting a wall in the past.

"So, don't think I'm a kind-hearted or a pacifist, everything I do is just because the cooperation is in line with my expectations and goals, and if humanity doesn't have these technologies and potential, I won't hesitate to stand on my kind. Can you understand that? ”

Although Lee's words were naked, they made Sheila and Gates more convinced and grounded, because for people like them, who stand at the top of the ruling class, the clearest thing is that interests are always more conducive to maintaining alliances than feelings.

"Bruce, what the hell are you?"

Sheila's expression was serious, and she asked the question she had always wanted to ask the most.

"Demons, extraterrestrial visitors, otherworldly beings...... Whatever, it's just a title. Remember, I don't know why there are so many plausible legends in the human world, but don't speculate about me and my kind with those naïve rumors, they are far more terrible than you think. Finally, as a welcome gift to your allies, Your Excellency the President, Mr. Minister, would you like to experience what it is like to regain your youth? ”

……

On that night, no one knew what exactly the conversation between Sheila, Gates and Li Jie was in the Oval Office of the White House, but the lights in His Excellency the President's office remained out until dawn......

――――――――――――――

At the same time, a special conversation is going on somewhere.

"My lord, I'm afraid that Gusin and Inbos have fallen together, and the fluctuations of magical energy coming from the scene are so amazing that it can almost be concluded that Bruce is a Legendary-level existence."

"Flames...... Bruce? Li suddenly jumped up in 2016, his reincarnation time will not exceed two years, he can be promoted to transcendence in such a short period of time, and he can exert the power of flames, it is no longer known who he is. ”

"You mean ......"

"It's just that I don't know what level his strength has recovered, in order not to let those guys who watch the show take advantage of it, it seems that it is not suitable for greater action for the time being."

"Understood, I will continue to pay attention to the other party's dynamics."

"Bruce? Didn't Lee want to be the savior of humanity? Do you guess if humans found out that he was actually a lurking alien around them, would they still worship him like they do now? ”

"He's done a lot of things among humans, and he's very well prepared, and I'm afraid it's hard to convince the general public that he's not human."

"The more things you do. The more enemies there are. This is always an unbreakable truth. Since Bruce? Lee loves to play house games so much. I'm just going to make it impossible for him to play. ”

"I know how to do it."

Bruce ...... Bruce...... That's how you look up to humans? ”

A low self-talk sounded leisurely.

――――――――――――

In the following period, the scene of the Los Angeles bombing was still under a complete lockdown by the military, and the specific details were never revealed to the media, but the entire territory of the United States has entered an unprecedented stage of martial law.

In particular, densely populated urban areas and transportation hubs such as airports and railway stations can be seen patrolling by in groups of soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition, and armored vehicles, personnel carriers, and helicopter gunships are all in front of the public's eyes.

All of this has undoubtedly made ordinary people more nervous, and even the once noisy metropolis seems much more depressed. At any time, the pedestrians who come and go seem to be more hurried and heavy than before, and even the most numb people feel that human society is undergoing quiet but earth-shaking changes.

And this change is much faster than they think.

Corbist Laboratory.

Li Jie, who walked out of Helios naked, calmed down, restrained his somewhat unstable aura because of the tempering again, and let the frightened beautiful female experimenter put on the clean clothes he had prepared, and when he opened his eyes, he was much calmer, at least no longer unbearable.

Just as the door opened, Gilbert in a white coat? Gordon hurried in. Respectfully:

"BOSS, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has received a call. According to the reports of surveillance and on-site security, it is very likely that the superpower committed the crime, and the Sky Eye has activated the tracking mode, and the power armor unit deployed in the city is also on the way to the scene. ”

Li Jie nodded, and took the lead out of the door of the laboratory and into the elevator.

The lower Power Armor Lab has now changed dramatically, with an area dedicated to serving as a temporary command center for the military, making it even more crowded and lively.

Since he promised President Sheila to become a special supplier of the newly formed power armored forces of the Ministry of Defense, in order to deal with the growing superhuman crime and tension, the military's expert technical team and high-level leaders have been stationed in the Corbister laboratory for the first time, and the first funds have been injected into the account of the corona company, and even new training camps and military bases have been built next to the laboratory.

Fortunately, the laboratory chose a relatively secluded suburb, otherwise I am afraid that the military would have no place to build a camp.

From this unprecedented efficiency, I believe it can be seen that the federal government has reached the point of burning brows, and the successive criticisms of major media outlets and the increasing number of protests and demonstrations in various places have seriously shaken the prestige of the new government, and it happens that it happened after Sheila's new office, so it is no wonder that they are so impatient.

Of course, all this was done with the consent of Li Jie. In any case, the first phase of the Corona Science Park in Chicago will soon be completed, and the main body of the laboratory will be moved to use it as a cooperation area with the military.

The military's temporary command post requisitioned about a quarter of the entire third floor, but it still looks crowded, which shows the scale of the move-in. This has already made the head of the armored laboratory, Carmen? Hawthorne, Eugene and others were extremely dissatisfied, and they even knocked out a large amount of money from the military for this.

The officers shuttling back and forth, the neatly arranged various equipment, the full set of central command system installed in place, the military-grade servers, and the technicians who are working intensively all seem to be incompatible with the atmosphere of the laboratory.

"Good evening, General McLean."

Accompanied by Gilbert into the laboratory, Li Jie's eyes naturally looked at the middle-aged man standing in the center, with short lean hair, a shiny complexion, a resolute expression, and a solid figure.

"Good evening, Mr. Lee." Federal Major General Ian? McKellen turned his head to greet Li Kit, and at the same time avoided his gaze somewhat unnaturally, the helmsman of Corona was completely different from any young man he had ever met, and his momentum was so overwhelming that it was a little unbearable, and it was extremely awkward. Especially after receiving artificial genome modification, they have a keen sense of Li Jie's strength, which makes the always strong General McKellen very uncomfortable, but as the chief commander of the military stationed in the Corona Company, he must maintain his majesty and perform his duties well. "The Storm Force is on its way."

"Storm" (SPAU), is the military's newly established power armor special force, temporarily under the direct management of the Ministry of Defense, due to the production of power armor and the adaptation speed of the transformed fighters are very limited, the establishment sequence is completely different from the ordinary army, basically to the squad as a group, the first batch of 100 people have just been stationed in New York, Los Angeles and other ten major cities, although the coverage is very small, it is completely a drop in the bucket, but it has squeezed out of the laboratory and the military's extreme strength.

Equipping a power armor transformation warrior is by no means a simple matter, although there is a killer feature of artificial genomes, but from the selection of the best soldiers, power armor design and production, genetic modification adaptation period to actual training, it will take as little as a month.

It can be said that the first batch of storm troops was completely a special product of the special period, and everything was completed at the fastest speed, and they were hurriedly put into the actual combat stage, in order to play a deterrent role as soon as possible and ease the current chaotic situation.

"The eye of the sky is successfully locked, the monitoring remote control is activated, the target is a total of 3 people, and it has entered the Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art, and the data is being searched, and the three-dimensional structure of the museum is opened......"

Technicians are methodically reporting real-time progress, and on the large screen directly in front of the command center, the perspective of the entire Metropolitan Museum's internal structure is already displayed on the left, and several red dots representing targets are staying in a certain exhibition room on the third floor of the museum, seemingly standing still.

The real-time images from the internal monitoring can clearly see that three tightly wrapped masked gangsters are destroying the cabinets of the museum's collections, these people's actions are simple and rude, wanton violence and destruction of the alarm bell and the surveillance camera overhead, and you can vaguely see two uniformed men lying in the exhibition room who do not know their life and death, obviously the security guards patrolling the museum at night.

"Turn on the backtracking function, and the database is ...... in comparison"

Although several uninvited guests who broke into the museum wore hoods to cover their faces, the command center's "Sky Eye" tracking system was still able to establish a timeline through their figures, clothing, and gait, control all the surveillance video throughout New York City, and look up their previous paths and locations according to time rewind, until the scene and time node where they revealed their true faces were captured.

This huge amount of work has been completed in an instant under the powerful deployment of military resources, and the rapidly flashing pictures above the big screen are quickly locked and stopped. (To be continued......)
