"Sir, your current identity is a colonel in the military. Considering your safety, it is necessary to hide your identity.”
As soon as Payne finished speaking, the convoy stopped.
The group of people waiting outside quickly came up to them with smiles on their faces and opened the car door with ingratiating looks.
Seeing this, Li Meng and Pine got out of the car.
Seeing Li Meng walk out of the car in a bright military uniform, a graceful figure walked forward and bowed to Li Meng.""Sir, welcome to the Law-Enforcement Department's Stronghold 021. My name is Linda, and I'm a law-enforcement officer. The headquarters specially ordered me to be your guide.”
She was wearing a law enforcement officer's uniform, a coat, and a knee-length skirt. Under the skirt was a pair of flesh-colored stockings. She had bright golden hair and looked very heroic.
She should be around thirty-five years old. Her face was still pretty and above average, but she did not have the gentleness of a woman. She gave off a very capable and serious feeling.
Another middle-aged man stepped forward and saluted with the Heavenly Eagle.""I'm the minister of this stronghold." "Corell. Greetings, my lord."
At this moment, two squads of twenty-four Imperial Guards alighted and walked over. They were all fully armed. They wore armor, plastic helmets, automatic rifles, and several grenades hung from their waists.
Li Meng nodded at Stanley and said to Linda,""Miss Linda, there's no time to lose. Let's go.”
"Sir, this way please…" Linda nodded.
Facing Stanley's worried gaze, Linda gave him a look and comforted him not to worry. Then, she left with Li Meng and the others.
Linda brought Li Meng and the others to the elevator in the middle of the underground parking lot.
Linda pressed a button on the wall beside the elevator door, and the heavy elevator door slowly opened.
"Sir, please come in…"
Following Linda, Li Meng and the rest entered the elevator.
The elevator was very big. It could even fit a maglev troop, let alone Li Meng's group of 20 people.
Amidst the mechanical hum, the elevator began to descend slowly.
Standing beside Li Meng, Linda said,"" The stronghold is built around a load bearing pillar. There is an elevator system inside the load bearing pillar. By taking the elevator, the law enforcement department can quickly travel to the various underground levels of Nest City. Although the lower level has become a lawless place, we have always had close ties with the gangs that occupy the stronghold of the law enforcement department. They are our own people.”
Li Meng turned to Linda and asked,"Why did the Law Enforcement Department give up the lower level?”
Linda was surprised by Li Meng's question. Why didn't this colonel know about common sense?
Without thinking much, Linda replied," There are many reasons, but the biggest one is a riot from the lower levels. More than 4,000 years ago, a slave started a riot in the lower levels. There were many participants, and it is said that there were hundreds of millions of people. The rebellion lasted for 17 years. The Planetary Defense Force and the rebels suffered heavy casualties. It is said that 30 million people died in the riot. In the end, the Grand Duke announced that he would give up the area below the 20th floor and all the law enforcement officers would evacuate from the lower levels. Just a month later, The slave who caused the riot was killed by his own trusted aide. Some said that the Grand Duke had reached an agreement with some of the lower levels of power. From then on, the lower levels became a lawless land, and family gangs flourished until now.”
Li Meng muttered to himself and asked Pine,"" The combat ability of the planetary defense force is so weak that it can't even suppress a riot?”
"This…"
Payne looked troubled. He knew nothing about the riot in 4,000 years, although no matter how weak the Planetary Defense Force was, it should not be so weak that it could not even defeat a group of thugs.
Seeing that Payne was silent for a long time, Linda, who was at the side, helped him out.
She explained," It's not that the Planetary Defense Force is weak, but the environment below is complicated and narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of armored vehicles. At that time, the rebels seized a military factory on the twenty-third floor and had enough anti-armor weapons. According to the information at that time, the rebels sometimes destroyed the main structure of the lower floor to stop the Planetary Defense Force. The main reason why the Grand Duke compromised was probably because he was afraid that the main structure of the lower floor of Chao Du would be destroyed by the rebels. That was why he had no choice but to give up on the area below the twentieth floor.”
So that was the case. Li Meng understood.
The main structure of the lower level was the core of Chao Du. Once it was destroyed, the entire city would probably collapse, and the casualties would be unimaginable.
"Sir, what is the military looking for? As a guide, I can only cooperate with you better if I know your purpose.”
Linda had only received an order from the headquarters to let her, a law enforcement officer who was familiar with the lower levels, be the guide of this young colonel in front of her. She knew nothing else.
Li Meng didn't hide it, but he didn't say it explicitly either. He said,""Find someone, a person, no, a group of people. They are sick, very serious. It's a contagious disease. Our goal is to find them and isolate them.”
