Zhao Tao pressed the button, and the AI's voice sounded.
"Identification, Agent 0110, Zhao Tao.
Identification, Agent 0089, Sim Su-lien.
Fingerprint verification passed, physiological spectrum normal, iris verification correct, permission granted.
Welcome back to the Central Continent Imperial People's Army, General Staff Headquarters, 404 Office.
Please put your personal weapons and all thermal and kinetic items into the storage compartment. Upon arrival, the elevator will conduct a full body scan. "
The elevator began descending from the top of the 118th floor, and it only took a few seconds to reach the first floor. However, the elevator did not stop and continued to descend.
This was a huge organization, and the office building above ground was only a cover. No one in this building knew that there was such a place underground.
Even if someone went down from the top of the building, they would not be able to find the hidden elevator.
In fact, there was more than one way to enter the 404 Office.
The office was just a code name. The entire base was located 80 meters underground. Not only was it purely made of soil for defense, but ten layers of fortification measures were added in the soil layer above. Not to mention that the earth penetrator could not penetrate it, even if the surface was bombarded by a nuclear weapon with a yield of tens of millions of kilograms, it would be difficult to penetrate it.
Unless a nuclear fusion reaction was carried out in the open space here to create an artificial sun, it would be impossible to burn through this place within a few hours.
The staff of the military 404 Office lived and ate here, and they could only go out for a breather occasionally on vacation. Therefore, they were extremely envious of field personnel like Zhao Tao. Even Sim Su-lien was an exception today.
These people came in and out of the surface in batches and through different exits. They would not be discovered if they were mixed in with the crowd, and it was enough to avoid any external investigation, whether they were from within the country or abroad.
The entire base was the size of eight football fields, and there was even a military parking lot and a military airport. Residential and living facilities were indispensable. Even the small-scale nuclear fusion energy system and ecosystem were built by the base itself. Even if the outside world was in chaos, the base would still be able to maintain normal operations.
Perhaps only the leaders of the Chūshū Empire could have this kind of security guarantee.
However, at the critical moment, when the safe haven of the country's leader was exposed, the leader had to be directly transferred here!
According to Zhao Tao's understanding, at a more critical moment, there was another hidden base under the 404 Office base. The entire base would be detonated, and a small nuclear fusion energy system would be used as a nuclear weapon. After the entire surface was opened, the rockets in the hidden base would take off and go directly to the outside of the atmosphere with a certain degree of anti-interception capability.
The planning of the entire base was included in the Third New Imperial City, and the entire city planning was of the highest level of confidentiality. The underground part of the 404 Office was directly controlled by the military, and even the unmanned urban construction system was supported by the military. The city planners only knew that a bomb shelter had been dug here.
For the people of the surface world, this was a place that did not exist, so it was named 404 and could never be found.
The lighting system lit up the underground space as if it was daytime. The base did not have a signboard or a name — there was no need for a signboard here. Anyone who could come in would know what this place was.
For Zhao Tao, when he came here for the first time three years ago, he was really shocked, but now he didn't feel much.
Compared to the high-rise buildings outside, the low-rise buildings here were no more than ten stories, which seemed a little backward.
The 404 Office was founded at the beginning of World War II, and its base was in the General Staff Headquarters of the Imperial City. Later, the Second New Imperial City suffered a nuclear attack, and the personnel evacuated, the base was razed to the ground. After the Third New Imperial City was completely built, it was moved to this place.
During the war, its function was similar to the General Staff Headquarters' intelligence department, but after the war, it had a new mission — to capture fugitives through the intelligence system and wipe out the vicious criminals that the public security system couldn't execute.
The elevator finally stopped moving, and the two walked between the office buildings. After a while, they arrived at the director's office.
The identification system at the door of the director's office immediately recognized the identity of the two, and it also determined that the director was waiting for them, so it directly opened the door and let them in.
"Oh my god, why are you not going to the infirmary after being beaten up like this?
What are you doing here! "
The military uniform on the director's body shape didn't match, and the hairstyle of the local support center couldn't cover his bald head. One of his eyes was injured in the war, and it had been replaced with an artificial eyeball. The function could be achieved, but the bionic nature wasn't too good, and it looked like a cell phone camera from hundreds of years ago.
Every time the eyeball received the brain's command to move, the bionic muscles and micro-motors would always produce a not very pleasant small sound.
Zhao Tao was already used to it.
The short and fat bald Wang Weiguo, who looked approachable and had a little pet phrase, served as the director of Office 404 of the General Staff Headquarters of the Zhongzhou Empire's People's Army. He looked like a wretched uncle outside, but he was a lieutenant colonel in his forties. God knew what earth-shattering things he had done.
In Zhao Tao's eyes, it was almost the same achievement as single-handedly destroying the enemy's headquarters.
"It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal."
Zhao Tao opened his mouth to speak, and his left cheek was still burning with pain. "That little girl is quite ruthless."
"The people's police work for the people, and there's nothing we can do about it.
Sit down, I'll call the paramedics over. "
Wang Weiguo pressed the call button on his touchscreen desktop. "Call someone from the infirmary over, facial injury."
"Yes, Chief!" The guard at the door responded with a crisp voice through the loudspeaker.
"Have you checked? The blonde with blue eyes."
Zhao Tao went straight to the point. He had been in the 404 Office for three years, and he had never failed a mission.
He didn't expect that he would be attacked like this when he just returned from the United States of America. It was really frustrating.
"Little Shen, tell me, what have you gained in the past few hours?"
Wang Weiguo lit a cigarette and felt that the special cigarettes didn't taste good. He frowned and threw one to Zhao Tao.
Zhao Tao saw it, and he wanted to throw the Tarzan in his pocket, but it was empty. He cursed the police. They didn't even let go of a pack of cigarettes that was worth more than thirty dollars, and they even took it away with their signature!
"Zhao Tao, guess, where did this person come from?"
Sim Su-lien didn't behave properly in front of Zhao Tao, but she was still reliable in front of the leader. She didn't dare to act out of line. Her expression was serious, but she joked with Zhao Tao.
"Across the Pacific Ocean, from the CIA," Zhao Tao said.
He could see from Sim Su-lien's eyes that his guess was correct.
"What are those people from the General Staff Department doing!
The American spies have already infiltrated the country, and this is the capital!
The capital of the Chūshū Empire! "
