CHAPTER XXI

"There's actually something hidden underneath this, like this..."After the elevator stopped, Xue Qiong said dumbfounded. And the reason why he said such things in this situation did not make people doubt his identity, mainly because the people around him were all dumbfounded...

I saw that the place where they left the elevator was a high platform on the metal floor, and there were some people up and down around it, and some places down was a larger, huge artificial platform that could not be seen at a glance, on this platform, there was a high platform like the one where Xue Qiong and they were in each of the four corners, and in the middle of the platform, there was a huge glass dome reflecting the artificial light in the underground space...

And between the ground and the ceiling, in the large three-dimensional space vacated, there are two huge human heads suspended dozens of meters square, which should be the ultimate force unit of the empire, the super fortress.

Xue Qiong found that the position he was in now, if you looked horizontally around, you could hardly see anything, except for a circle of high walls that looked very imposing, and some load-bearing structures that looked very complex, the top of which was connected to the previous floor... However, there were some regular gaps on the edge of the big platform, and because of the distance and reasons, Xue Qiong took a few closer glances before reacting.

"It's... Let's go to the port...", the chattering sapper who came with him couldn't help but speak.

Xue Qiong saw that countless general battleships and razor cruisers were quietly parked, and at the same time, there were more Thunderbolt transports constantly coming in and out...

"Yes, you didn't have this authority, but these are extraordinary times, and it is necessary for the empire to preserve all possible living forces..."A guy who looked like an officer walked over, crossed his waist and explained to this group of guys who had never seen the world, and his tone was full of unconcealed pride, as if this place was his home...

"The entire HRE Research Center is actually built in a natural underground cavern... Super giant floating island fortress. We've enlarged the cavity and forcibly dug an underground river here to the point where it could be used as a deep-water port... Count the number of warships parked in the harbor, is it completely beyond the number stipulated in the post-war treaty with the capitalist pigs? ”

"This is the hope of the revival of the empire!!" Before the officer could say this, someone else was enthusiastic and helped him say it first. Xue Qiong nodded imperceptibly, these people are still brainwashed well.

"That's right!!" There was also a look of fanaticism on the officer's face that could not be concealed, "Except for here, His Majesty the Emperor is wise and courageous, and before our defeat, all the submarines were equipped with dormant chambers, and in the depths of the sea of the whole world, there are sleeping Imperial warriors... One day, we will..."

"Iron armor million expeditions to four yi, immeasurable glory follows the destiny of heaven!!"

"Iron armor million expeditions to four yi, immeasurable glory follows the destiny of heaven!!"

This group of people suddenly shouted slogans together, Xue Qiong was still thinking about the possibility of escaping from this waterway, but in hindsight, he had to shout frantically with this group of people...

"Ahem, it's almost, you come with me." The officer's voice was a little hoarse, and he waved his hand to the group of sappers, including Xue Qiong, motioned to follow, and then strode forward by himself.

Xue Qiong also consciously followed, but his mind was all elsewhere...

(If you want to run out of the waterways here...) Forget it, not to mention that they don't have to be operated by one person, and it's useless to control it, even if they grab the boat, I estimate that they won't be able to run a few hundred meters and be sunk directly in the port... I can't swim out. )

(Do you want to charm this person first?) It's not worth much, and if you let Takeda kill herself before Yuriko comes, it will always feel a little suspicious... Moreover, if you use the scroll, it will still be too obvious in the end, there are so many people here, even if you succeed in controlling someone, you will be found and stopped by others and die quickly... Then the seductive thing will be stable after Yuriko kills in. )

(This port...) If it's a floating island fortress, then it should be just controlled at this position that the waterline can play a role... Well, it's likely that there's at least one more layer of building structure further down, but from what guy didn't say just now, it's basically clear that the area below is probably even more secret and dangerous than these here... )

(By the way, he just said that they scattered all the submarines and hid them under the sea with the pilot...) That is, if I get out from underneath ... I feel like I just need a little bit of TNT on me to blow up and find a better wetsuit to swim out and run... This underground river must still flow into the sea. )

"Dr. Shimada, these are the people who just got down from above." Xue Qiong was about to think about it when he found that the team had stopped, and the officer who was leading the way was bowing respectfully to a middle-aged man in a white coat.

(Shimada... Hearing this name, Xue Qiong immediately forcibly pulled herself out of her thoughts, and then glanced at this guy.

Coupled with a neat and neat little board size, Sven's glasses, flat eyes, and the tone of speech that will never shed tears before seeing the coffin...

(That's right, it's that Shimada...) But are we that important? Xue Qiong couldn't help but look at the faces of the real office workers around her, (It is actually worthy of being personally received by the supreme person in power here, obviously it is an extraordinary time now...) )

"Ladies and gentlemen." Before Xue Qiong could come up with a reason, Shinji Shimada spoke first, "At the moment, we are at a critical juncture of life and death, and we are forced to entrust the few who have just arrived with important tasks as a last resort, I hope you will not disappoint the expectations of the empire..."

(Oops, that's a lot...) Xue Qiong asked the beacon to update the countdown to Yuriko's arrival in real time, and there were less than ten minutes left... While thinking about whether to control Shinji Shimada, the big fish, or simply let him go crazy? Or...

"This is the first test subject of Project Omega that I'm in charge of... Her name is Miyamoto Noizumi, and according to my speculation, Omega Yuriko, who has betrayed the glory of the empire again, is likely to be the target this time again..."Shimada was still speaking, and at this time he was pushed into a dormant chamber next to him, "It's hard to say, but I still hope that someone can take care of this child..."

"Dress up like me. For the sake of the Empire, you are needed... This is for the hegemony of the Empire, for the Mandate of His Majesty..."

(Poof!!) Xue Qiong almost didn't squirt, isn't this just looking for a stand-in, a fool will be willing to do it, not to mention whether he can get permission, even if he volunteers and then plays the trick of changing the tanuki for the prince, and turns himself into a real Shimada Shinji, he has to die at the hands of Yuriko...

But Xue Qiong still found out for the first time that this was an opportunity...

(Madness, activated.) Xue Qiong said silently in her heart, and at the same time stroked the reverse cross necklace hanging around her neck with her right hand through the collar.
