"Creak, creak!"
With the sound of steel cables winding, four massive steel plates slowly rose.
Facing this scene, the bald old man forced himself to stay calm: "Don't celebrate too early! The engine's power is limited. It will take at least thirty minutes to raise these steel plates completely. The security forces will be here in five minutes at most. Are you prepared to be shot into meat paste by them!"
"Are you referring to these guys as security forces? Ishii Ichiro! A remnant of Unit 731!" Ling Kai sneered, revealing the bald old man's true identity.
Behind him, a dozen soldiers in mechs dragged out a long line of humanoid monsters with missing limbs, their wounds oozing black oil.
Seeing the entire security force captured, Ishii Ichiro couldn't believe his eyes. He grabbed his graying hair and roared.
"How is this possible! Their bodies have been modified, equipped with the latest weapons, and they can operate the base's various mechanisms and traps. Why were they wiped out so quickly!"
Ling Kai removed his helmet and chuckled, feigning praise. "It's all thanks to the various mechanisms and traps you've installed in the base! If it weren't for them, it would have taken us considerable effort to deal with these inhumane monsters."
"How can you control the base's mechanisms? There must be a mole! Tell me quickly, who is the mole? I will kill him, I must kill him!"
Ishii Ichiro's emotions grew increasingly agitated, appearing to be going mad. However, Ling Kai ignored him and turned to Jing Mingqiu, saluting him.
"Mission accomplished! Professor Jing, all security personnel have been apprehended. How should they be dealt with?"
Jing Mingqiu didn't answer immediately. Seeing Ishii Ichiro, who was pretending to be agitated but was actually using a telegraph machine to secretly contact the outside world, a playful idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He deliberately put on an angry expression.
"How to deal with them! Is that something we can decide? We are just following orders. These people are all to be handed over to the Great Leader. Without their help, how could we have so smoothly taken down this heavily guarded base!"
Those who could join the special operations team and participate in this counter-terrorism operation were all astute individuals. Ling Kai instantly realized that Ishii Ichiro had the ability to contact the outside world, and Jing Mingqiu was deliberately trying to slander the Great Leader of the United States.
Ling Kai immediately put on an attitude of admitting fault. "Sorry, I forgot! However, Professor Jing, by saying that directly, aren't you afraid they'll spread it and leak our cooperation with the Great Leader?"
"What is there to fear!" Jing Mingqiu sneered dismissively. "The Great Leader's hacker team has blocked all networks here. No matter how they struggle, they won't be able to transmit any information."
Upon hearing this, Ishii Ichiro's eyes blazed with fury. While the protective steel plates were still rising, he reached under the table and frantically pressed buttons.
Five minutes later, the steel plates had risen about halfway, just enough for a person to squeeze through. Ling Kai, receiving a signal from Jing Mingqiu, immediately dodged and rolled in, pinning Ishii Ichiro beneath him.
After being subdued, Ishii Ichiro was not discouraged in the slightest. Instead, he laughed up to the sky. "Hahahahaha! It's too late, you came in too late! I've already used the telegraph machine to reveal the truth of the matter."
"No wonder we've been suffocated by the Dragon Country these past few months, no wonder Dragon Country's technology has developed so rapidly. Turns out our newly appointed Great Leader of the United States is one of your people!"
"That's not necessarily true." Jing Mingqiu stretched his limbs, then took a step forward, thrusting his hands into the protective steel plates.
The protective steel plates, made of special alloy, were like butter in Jing Mingqiu's hands. He easily pierced them.
Then, he exerted force with his arms and pulled, tearing the one-meter-thick steel plates in half.
Faced with such extreme violence, Ishii Ichiro was completely stunned. He couldn't understand why Jing Mingqiu was so strong, and why he hadn't come in earlier, waiting for him to send his telegram before bursting in.
"Are you very curious? Why I didn't open the door earlier and only forced my way in now."
Jing Mingqiu walked over, lifted the table, took out the telegraph machine hidden underneath, and a camera hidden deeper inside, placing them in front of Ishii Ichiro with a mocking expression.
"Ishii Ichiro, do you really think they will trust you? Or perhaps, you think I didn't discover this telegraph machine? I was just deliberately delaying to let you spread the news of Biden that old fellow's cooperation with us."
"What! You mean Great Leader Biden didn't cooperate with you? Everything you said before was a lie!"
Ishii Ichiro never expected that after so many years of meticulous planning, he would be deceived by a young punk today. However, he quickly adjusted his mood and deliberately put on a mocking expression.
"Your plan is very good, but the message sent via telegraph has no signature, no video. They might not believe it!"
Jing Mingqiu saw his guilt and his smile grew even thicker. "Whether they believe it or not is not important. What's important is that once the seed of doubt is planted, it will eventually blossom and bear fruit!"
Using a remote-controlled drone to photograph the entire laboratory and instructing Ling Kai to collect all the data, Jing Mingqiu found Eddie Wu Tan.
"Mr. Wu Tan, this is Ah Qiong Han. All the others will be handed over to you. However, this person named Ishii Ichiro is a fugitive Class-A war criminal. He committed heinous crimes in the Dragon Country, and we must take him back to face the judgment of the people!"
Eddie Wu Tan bowed obsequiously, his attitude extremely respectful. "You caught them. We just came to watch the excitement. You can take them all back if you want!"
"Taking them all back is too much trouble," Jing Mingqiu waved his hand. "There are several other research bases nearby. Since it's still early, I plan to go and take them all down. You take these people and the data collected back first."
"And notify your Chief Executive to immediately hold a press conference and expose all the sins of the United States!"
Eddie Wu Tan readily accepted and, while his subordinates prepared to escort the prisoners, he looked at the humanoid monsters whose wounds were oozing oil and whose exposed wires occasionally sparked. A wave of unease washed over him, and he ran back.
"Professor Jing," Eddie Wu Tan said with a wronged expression, explaining cautiously, "We only have twenty odd broken guns. If they escape midway, we really can't guarantee we can control them!"
Jing Mingqiu decisively waved his hand. "That's easy. Ling Kai, make arrangements. Assign two people to assist with the escort. The rest will follow me to continue clearing out the remaining American bases!"
Gossip can wear down a person, and slander can destroy their reputation!
As Jing Mingqiu cleared out the remaining bases, he used the same tactic, deliberately or inadvertently, leaking some of the news about the Great Leader of the United States and his cooperation.
That evening, as the Great Leader of the United States, Joseph Biden, was contemplating how to deal with Jing Mingqiu, the door to his office was suddenly kicked open. Immediately afterward, representatives from the three major American pharmaceutical consortiums stormed in, their faces filled with rage...
