"See that saber-like building?"

Chu Tianjiang nodded, then turned his gaze back.

Now they are on the top floor of a building that is 1,800 meters high. It's a high-end nightclub, and although it's not as lively as it was half a year ago, it still has a lot of customers. The two chose a table by the window, and gave the waiter a generous tip for it.

"That's the military district command."

"Where is Victor?"

"If his life and work habits have not changed much, then every day at half past eight in the morning, he will enter the office of the commander of the military district. I usually get home by 6 p.m., but sometimes it's a little late. If something more important happens, he will spend the night there. Laika paused slightly. Of course, this is not certain, because this was the law he had five years ago. ”

"What about defense deployments?"

"It's about the same as the Legion Command in Storm City."

"What do you mean?"

"As long as you have a military ID card, you can enter, and you won't be stopped for inspection."

"So lax?"

"Do you think it's necessary to put up tighter defenses?" Laika smiled and said, "The military district headquarters building is actually a three-dimensional small city, twice the size of the corps headquarters, and it can accommodate 300,000 people. For strangers who don't know the overall layout of the building, it's a labyrinth that you can never get out of alive after you walk in. ”

"Do you know what's going on inside?"

"Know better than anyone else."

"That was five years ago, hasn't there been any change in those five years?"

Laika smiled and said, "Five years ago, no one believed that the Doomsday Empire would be wiped out overnight, and no one even believed that the Doomsday Empire would disappear from the United Continent. Almost everyone believes that the Doomsday Empire will last forever, at least for the foreseeable future, and that this vast empire will remain prosperous. You may not believe it, but after the end of that internal war three hundred years ago, all the buildings of the empire were built according to 'permanent' standards. To put it simply, the buildings themselves are huge machines, and they are machines that can maintain and repair themselves. As long as there is energy, these buildings will last forever. ”

"So you don't need to make changes anymore?"

"Why do you want to change it?"

"This ......"

"In three hundred years, even the empire hasn't changed, is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Chu Tianjiang understood, the key is still population.

For three hundred years, at least for the last two hundred years, the population of the empire has not changed, and the fertility policy has stabilized the population of the empire at about two billion. The size of the infrastructure is directly determined by the number of people, and if the population does not increase, there is no need to build more infrastructure. Obviously, the rulers of the Doomsday Empire have long recognized this problem, and when they built their cities, they made clear plans, and they did not intend to expand the size of the city after that, and wanted to maintain it in this way.

"Of course, don't expect me to help."

"We're partners."

"But I won't accompany you to death, and I don't want you to die."

"Sent to death?"

"Knowing that the defense measures of the Dao Military Region Command and the Legion Command are so lax?"

Chu Tianjiang shook his head.

"The reason is simple, both the corps commander and the commander of the military district are the most powerful presence in their region, and no one can pose a threat to them at all." Laika smiled faintly and said, "In Storm City, Rockwell is the most powerful superpower, and no one else can compare to him. It's the same in Sunny City, where Victor is the most powerful being. In addition to this, they also have a large guard, and the members are all Level 5 Enhancement Superpowers at worst, and even some Level 4 Modulation Superpowers. Anyone who wants to deal with them must first defeat their guards. Of course, even if you are a level 5 modulation superpower, you may not be able to kill all of Victor's guards. He will deal with you while you are dealing with his guards, or leave the headquarters. ”

"So, we're running for nothing?"

"Of course not, I said, I've already planned it."

"What's the plan?"

"When he left the headquarters."

"Shoot him with a laser gun from a distance?" Chu Tianjiang felt that Laika's plan was a bit ridiculous. If Victor is a fifth-level modulator like Rockwell, even if he is not stronger than Rockwell, ordinary weapons cannot threaten him, and even if he is shot, he may not be able to kill him.

"Blow him up."

"With explosives?"

"Your superpowers."

"What?" Chu Tianjiang's eyes widened.

"One of your three main superpowers has to do with temperature, which means that you can control the temperature within a certain range. Maybe you don't know enough about this superpower and haven't even used it before, but you do have it, and it's very strong. ”

"Let me burn him with superpowers?"

"Of course not."

"What's that?"

Laika smiled and said, "He is the commander of the military district, and he has privileges that ordinary people do not have, and he can use some special equipment that ordinary people and even other military personnel cannot reach. For example, his flying car uses not external energy, but internal energy. ”

"What do you mean?"

"The flying cars we usually use rely on external energy, i.e. directional microwave transmitters installed in various corners of the city. If you leave the city, you can only drive on the track where the road is installed, and if you leave the road, you become a pile of scrap metal. The flying vehicle for the commander of the military district is a standard military vehicle, powered by a supercritical fusion battery, which is capable of providing almost permanent power and is not affected by the infrastructure, allowing it to fly normally even in the field. The key is the battery above. ”

"Detonate the battery?"

Laika nodded and said, "The supercritical fusion battery is a bomb, as long as the powerful field that constrains the fusion reaction disappears, the battery will explode, and it is very powerful, capable of killing everyone within a radius of a hundred meters, including the powerful fifth-level modulation superpower." ”

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, I've used this method against Victor before, but it failed."

"Failure?"

"I'm not you, and I don't have the superpower to control temperature, so I have to use another method to detonate the critical fusion battery on the flying car. Although it was only a tenth of a second, a Level 5 modulation superpower was able to run a hundred and fifty meters in such a short time. Laika sighed and said, "What's more, detonating the battery with a remote control requires a lot of manipulation on the flying car." ”

"Discovered?"

Laika nodded and said, "That was the closest to success, but unfortunately, Victor still sensed the danger. Of course, it's not the same with your superpowers. This requires you to melt down the energy system control devices on the flying car with your superpowers, and you can make the supercritical fusion battery explode. Because there is no need to move on the flying car, and there will be no warning before the explosion, it is difficult to detect. ”

"The thing is, it takes time, too."

"With your superpowers, the time it takes to melt the control device is almost negligible."

"The problem is, Victor has to get into the flying car."

"Don't forget, we're partners."

"What do you mean......"

"The garage is inside the headquarters, so we can't get in, but I can sense his presence through my consciousness and roughly determine his location."

"When he gets in the car, I'll detonate the battery?"

"It's best to wait for the flying car to leave the headquarters and make further confirmation that he's in the car."

Chu Tianjiang nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, do you think there's a problem?"

"How do you perceive his presence? What's more, even if you can sense his presence, can't he perceive it? ”

"It's a passive perception ability."

"Well, that was five years ago, right?"

Laika was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Tianjiang a little puzzled.

"As far as I know, in the Northern Military District, there is not only one deputy commander, but in addition to Rockwell, there are several deputy commanders with equal authority with him. In other words, it wasn't just Rockwell who could replace Victor. So, in your opinion, the only person who wants Victor to die is Rockwell? ”

"This ......"

"There is no doubt that Rockwell is a very steady man, and he is not sure enough, he will not act rashly, but what about the other deputy commanders?"

"You mean, someone assassinated Victor?"

"It's just my speculation, and while I can't say for sure, I can't rule it out. If Victor had been assassinated before that, he would have stepped up his defenses, at least not to allow an Assassin like us to find him easily, so the method you mentioned may not be reliable. ”

Laika was silent, she really didn't expect that.

"Of course, there's a good chance that Victor will have a stand-in."

"Stand-in?"

"A stand-in is not worth anything at all, if you can use a stand-in to lure out the assassins, and then find out who is going to deal with him through the assassins, it is obviously a very good deal." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "In other words, if I were Victor, I would find a few stand-ins." ”

Laika let out a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll admit you're right, so what do you think we should do?" ”

"Since Victor has one more preparation, why can't we make more preparations?"

"What do you mean?"

"Victor is guarding against others, against assassins who may appear at any time, but just avoiding assassination, or simply killing assassins, is not enough to eliminate the threat at all. For this reason, Victor needs to find out the real culprit behind the scenes through this moment, and even needs to get evidence. ”

Laika's brows jumped a few times, she already understood what Chu Tianjiang meant.
