Chapter 900: Assignment of Duties
Judging by the surrounding furnishings and the various additional buildings, the cabins of this living area should have been discovered for a long time, at least more than 400 years ago, because in these buildings, Leo also saw houses with a clear Second Dynasty architectural style.
As a result, in the entire living quarters, except for some immovable fixed objects, all other objects that can be wrenched have been removed, and buildings have been rebuilt in the places where the items were originally placed.
Leo and the others were led directly to a room in one of the buildings, and then motioned for them to find a chair to sit down, and then turned to leave.
After sitting down, everyone was looking at each other, no one spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was more tense than before, as if the people sitting here were not colleagues, but enemies.
As one of the few people who traveled in company, Leo and Sylvia naturally received a lot more attention, and in the face of these undisguised scrutiny eyes, Sylvia usually returned it without hesitation, and made a humiliating gesture very strongly.
Of course, this is not Sylvia's original intention, but the character of the woman she is playing now, that woman is a mercenary, the size is mixed at the bottom, and her personality is naturally competitive and her demeanor is not elegant, so this kind of confrontation is just in line with her character.
The man played by Leo is known for his reticent words, rarely speaking unless necessary, and not confronting other people, so he closes his eyes and recuperates when he feels the gaze falling on him.
Although it seemed to others that Leo was avoiding conflict with them and closed his eyes and not looked at the people around him, Leo was actually sensing the mysterious power around him in addition to disguise, because he had a new inference about this mysterious force at the moment.
From the moment he entered this place, Leo could clearly feel that the mysterious power that imprisoned any transcendent power was more powerful than that on the ground, which meant that their underground location was closer to the source of that power, which was obviously a bit unreasonable.
Leo had been speculating about the source of this power since he sensed it through the spirit network, but at that time, because of the automatic counterattack of this power and other details, he thought that this power came from the wizard circle left by the wizards of the tower who participated in the construction of the palace and city in the past.
But now he felt that he might have been wrong, because if it was a wizard circle in the palace, then the source of power should be under the foundation of the palace, not deep underground.
So now he guessed that this mysterious power did not come from some wizard circle and some arrangement in Winter Rin City at all, but from the treasury of the Fran royal family, which was the source that caused the treasury of the French royal family to be able to isolate all supernatural powers.
In fact, it is no wonder that Leo made such a wrong inference before, because when he first knew that the royal treasury of Fran could isolate all power, he subconsciously thought that it was an effect of an unknown cause, just like those special jammers, in a way, the bone he obtained later on the Rum Peak was also one of the indirect factors that caused his misjudgment, because that bone provided the reference data needed for the wrong inference.
But in fact, the reason why the treasury of the French royal family can isolate all extraordinary powers is probably because there is an extraordinary power in the treasury itself, which is close to or even the power of omega-level higher life forms, and is extremely domineering, rejecting all powers, so it has caused a situation where all extraordinary powers cannot be used in the palace.
In fact, the importance that the secret department of the French Empire attached to that bone at that time should have aroused Leo's suspicion, because if the treasure house of the French royal family could isolate all extraordinary power for the same reason as that bone, then the French royal family might also attach importance to that bone, but it would definitely not be taken to that extent, not only sending the royal airship to pick it up, but even immediately granting Colin the title of nobleman.
Obviously, that bone is a very rare and important item in the eyes of the royal family, so it will be so important, if it is an item that the royal family has owned and played with for hundreds of years, no matter how magical the object is, it is impossible for the royal family to have that kind of attitude.
Now, Leo couldn't help but think of the white deer, who said that the bone was not provided by him, and now he believed it a little.
Just as Leo was thinking about things, the door was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man walked in, his eyes swept over everyone, and said, "My name is Fernando, and I am the head of the security department of the third section of the Seventh Research Institute, and you are my subordinates. ”
As he spoke, he paused, as if waiting for the person in front of him to ask a question, but no one had the intention of speaking.
The middle-aged man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, you are very good! To be selected by various departments, they are indeed considered elites, and they know how to shut up, and I can tell you that if someone of you speaks just now, then he will immediately lose the qualification to stay here, and he is also not qualified to return to his original department, so he can only go to the front line." ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and several people walked in with boxes, put the boxes on the table and opened them, and then took out two sets of clothes and a set of documents from the boxes, and handed them to Leo and the others.
"This is your daily work clothes and certificates, the documents have the laboratory you work in, what you have to do is very simple, is to stand there and check the documents of the people who come and go, if there is an accident in the laboratory where you are located, then you have to solve the accident as soon as possible, and even block the laboratory," the middle-aged man briefly said the situation, and then felt that he did not need to say this, so he said: "You will know the specific affairs from the mouth of the respective captain, I will not be specific, now I report my name and stand up." ”
As he spoke, the middle-aged man gave a few names to the list, then pointed to the person who had just come in and asked them to follow that person away, and then reported the names of several more people, and in this way, the recruited people were assigned one after another, and Leo and Sylvia were not assigned to the same place.
Leo was the last group to leave, and there were two people with him, both of whom were taller than ordinary people, and there was no sign of mutation at first glance, but Leo had scanned the bodies of these two people through the spirit network before, and knew that the muscles and bones in the bodies of these two people had been completely mutated, and according to his inference, this mutation would not give the two of them any extraordinary strength, but it could bring them a stronger physique.
Seeing these two people, Leo also thought of the Special Operations Division agent in his disguise, according to Colin's account, although the agent also has some extraordinary powers, but his real strength is the strength of the body, and the body of ordinary people has the strength of monsters.
From this point of view, the three of them are all mutants with strong physique and strength among the people recruited this time, and the three of them are not affected by the extraordinary forces around them in the current environment, and they can still exert extraordinary physical strength.
Instead of leading the three of them to any of the buildings in the area, the leader came to a corner on one side, standing in front of a metal gate that was handled by a dozen knights.
He took out a document and handed it to one of the knights, who looked at it, then carefully checked the identity documents that had just been issued by the three of them in turn, and after confirming that it was correct, he waved his hand at the person behind him.
The knights each walked to the side of a winch, and then stirred the rope vigorously, and the heavy metal gate slowly rose, revealing a downward spiral staircase passage inside, and the walls around this passage were riveted steel plates, and between the steel plates were poured iron juice, and there was not a single gap.
The leader led Leo and the others down from the spiral staircase, and the iron door behind him also fell rapidly, finally sealing the entrance completely.
Leo, who was walking behind, looked around, and his fingers seemed to inadvertently hit the steel plate next to him, because Leo's movements were not hidden and concealed, so the person walking in front was naturally aware of it.
However, they all subconsciously thought that Leo's move was just curiosity, and they didn't care too much, and the person who led the way also looked down on Leo a little bit in his heart, because curiosity is not a good thing in this place, so he already had some ideas about Leo's follow-up task assignment.
However, they didn't know that Leo's purpose was to test whether the blood power in his body could work in this environment, and also to test the situation of the surrounding facilities through the power of qi and blood.
His seemingly simple percussion action actually contains a very powerful blood force, which spreads quickly along the resonance of the metal, and after encountering the obstruction of non-metallic objects, it will bounce back and be re-received by Leo, and then obtain the detailed condition of the surrounding metal objects.
When the spiral staircase came to the end, Leo had already figured out part of the situation of the remains of the Loclos Star Battleship, and the reason why it was partly because the metal used in the battleship contained anti-vibration materials, and Leo's blood power could not penetrate and could only be taken back as if he had encountered a non-metallic object.
Fortunately, there are a lot of damaged places in the wreckage of this battleship, in order to repair these places, the method used by the French Empire in the early days was metal pouring, and the later method was metal plate inlay, whether it was metal pouring or inlay, it could not stop Leo's blood power, through the link of these metals, he also figured out every damaged place, and some metal facilities around the damaged place, he only needed to fill the vacant places, and he was able to fully grasp the specific situation of the entire wreckage.
Judging from the location and size of the repair point, although the wreckage of this battleship is seriously damaged, this part of the wreck has not disintegrated, it still remains relatively intact, the entire wreck is divided into four layers, the living area is on the third floor below, and Leo is now heading to the fourth floor, according to the height estimate, the top layer should be under the palace.
Among the four layers of cabins, the lowest layer of the cabin was the most damaged, basically about sixty percent of it was repaired, while the upper two layers were relatively intact, and Leo's blood power was basically blocked from these two layers.
Compared to the upper living quarters, which are all building-like buildings connected to the zenith, the buildings below are much lower, but the low is only relative, and the height of the walls here is still like a small city wall.
Although the building is not high, the area of the building is large, there are only seven buildings on the entire fourth floor, all of which are square high-walled buildings, with a mesh metal frame at the top roof, and criss-crossing steel aisles on the buildings, which are guarded by soldiers carrying the latest steam crossbows at every passing distance, and the aisles between the buildings below, there will be several teams of knights patrolling back and forth.
Judging by all the overviews, the guards here are extremely tight, so tight that they are several times stronger than prisons.
The leader led Leo and the other three to a row of huts with a similar style, then pointed to the hut and said, "You can pick any room, this is your resting place from now on, now you go in and change your clothes and papers." ”
Hearing the words of the guide, Leo randomly picked a room and walked in.
The room was clean, at least on the surface, but Leo was able to see traces that were invisible to the naked eye, and from these traces, Leo could conclude that something must have happened to the previous occupants of the house.
However, Leo didn't plan to investigate what happened to the owner of this room, he chose this room because, according to the analysis of his team's warship architecture, there should be a fast service lane behind the metal plate against the wall of this room, and this fast service lane can lead to it.
Leo didn't immediately look for the location of the entrance to the maintenance tunnel, he changed into his overalls as the leader instructed, pinned his work papers to his chest, and walked out of the room.
By this time, the other two had already changed their clothes and were waiting by the side of the guide, and they couldn't help but show disdain when they saw Leo belated.
Leo ignored the two men as he approached the leader, gave them a brief salute, and then stepped aside.
The Leader didn't show any displeasure at Leo's last appearance, he didn't seem to care about it, and said to the others to follow, and then led them towards the entrance of a building.
Coming to the gate of the building, the leader knocked the somewhat tall metal door, and after a while the door opened, and a young man with glasses, dressed in a doctor's attire, and covered in blood, came out from behind the door, looked at the leader, then at Leo and the others, and said, "Who is it?"
The leader seemed to be accustomed to this kind of short and emotionless inquiry, so he quickly gave an answer, pointing at Leo and saying, "It's him, he's your ......"
Before the leader could finish speaking, the other man said to Leo, "Come in! ”
Leo didn't think much of it, and stepped inside, and the metal door of the entrance quickly closed in the hands of the optician.
