Chapter 42 Federal Government Building

"Attention to all units, attention to all units, the confirmed target is in the 'lair.' The target is extremely dangerous, and we have been authorized for weapons of destruction. Once the target appears, the units are free to fire."

The middle-aged man in the military uniform sat on the co-pilot seat of the gunship and repeated the above three times before putting down the walkie-talkie and taking a deep breath. All the troops of the entire base have been transferred to this hemispherical building called "Lair." The muzzles of fighter jets, tank groups, and hundreds of guns are all aimed at the only exit, so The battle deals only with one person inside.

And even with such a battle, the man still feels that he has no confidence in his heart and knows that his team is the same. The female adjutant beside him whispered, "Sir, I heard that the intruder this time...is he?"

The man didn't answer; his eyes fixed on the door without moving.

"But that's impossible, right?" the adjutant seemed to be muttering. "He's dead, and Superman is long gone. That can't be him."

The man glanced at her and said solemnly, "We are soldiers. On the battlefield, we need to obey orders and don't think about extra things."

"Yes, sir."

But even though he said so, when the figure they were all familiar with appeared in the wide doorway, the man was inevitably as stunned as his subordinates. The dark blue shirt, the eye-catching "S" mark, and the bright red cloak flying like a battle flag once guided the direction of countless people.

All the muzzles and barrels were pointed at the figure, but they did not pull the trigger immediately.

The man gritted his teeth and decided for his team: "Fire!"

The roar of a tank gun opened the prelude to the fierce battle. The bullets swept toward the blue shadow overwhelmingly, and the missiles of the fighter jets and the heavy artillery of the tanks fell one after another and exploded on the spot as light and heat. The flames formed a curtain wall more than ten meters high and rose as if there was an indeterminate demon inhabiting the fire and the thick smoke and twisting its body.

Jay stood in the center of the fire; countless pieces of shrapnel swiped across his face, and the hot shockwaves blew his cloak full, but it couldn't shake him.

He turned his head sideways and looked into the building. The spaceship that belonged to him was still lying quietly. The artificial intelligence Hijen naturally alternated his hands in front of him, like a housekeeper waiting for the master's orders.

But he can't take it away, at least not now - he doesn't know much about this alien-tech spaceship, and he can't just leave it in his back garden.

"I'll be back for you," he whispered over the loud gunfire, and he was pretty sure Higine heard it.

The soldiers' eyes widened as if they couldn't believe what they saw. The flames and black smoke were split apart by the air blade formed by the high wind, and the red and blue afterimages dragged a spiral of black smoke into the sky like a cannonball. He was like a god, completely ignoring the artillery fire pouring on him, ignoring these disrespectful mortals, throwing the hot smoke behind him with a burst of voice, and rushing into the boundless sky.

Everyone stopped firing and stared blankly at the sky for a while. Their attacks were pointless and didn't attract the other party's attention.

"I think that's him, sir." The female adjutant on the gunship said, with a hint of undisguised excitement in her eyes.

World Federal Government Headquarters.

The location of the building is no secret; it's in New York City. It was a skyscraper wrapped in an iron black glass curtain wall. It was nearly 200 stories high and was currently the tallest building in New York City.

Jay put on his casual clothes and walked around the perimeter of the building as unobtrusively as possible, scanning it with his X-vision. It's a pity that the whole building, except the lobby, is filled with lead structures, which hinder his ability to see through.

He hadn't figured out what he was here for. Face Mungo and beat him up? And he wasn't even sure he could win Mongo.

He thought about it repeatedly, thinking it was a stupid idea to rush in like this; at least he should talk to someone with an opinion. Although Batman doesn't care about anything other than Gotham right now, Jay feels that if he tells him about this fantastic discovery, maybe he'll do something about it.

At this moment, a voice he was pretty familiar with interrupted his thoughts: "If this is your disguise, then I have to say that you have no talent for this. You noticed that you had been suspiciously in the Federation. The perimeter of the government building has been shaking for five minutes, right?"

Before turning around, he recognized Helena's crisp voice, which couldn't have been more pleasing at this juncture. Jay turned his head to see Helena silently behind him in a neat wallet and a single ponytail.

"Helena?" Jay exclaimed, "Why are you here?"

"The same reason as you, I guess," she said. "Since you're here, I suppose you know about Mungo?"

"If you're referring to an ugly-looking alien hunk who ruled our world for five years without us even knowing it, I've been miserable enough to know."

"Very well, that saves the effort of information exchange." Helena nodded, saying, "This means we can start work directly."

"Start work?" Jay was at a loss. "Well, you haven't specified it yet; what exactly are we going to do? Go in and beat Mungo up? We don't even know if he's on Earth."

Helena rolled his eyes at him: "Is this your plan to come here?"

"I, uh... have no plans," Jay said awkwardly.

"Then use my plan." Helena pulled him away involuntarily as she spoke.

Jay asked as he followed her, "Wait, you haven't said what your plans are."

"Sneak into that building and find evidence that Mungo controls the federal government." Helena said, "He hid for so long, server data, files, interfaces with aliens, or alien soldiers stationed on Earth; he couldn't erase all the evidence."

"Well... that makes sense, but isn't that building over there? We seem to be going in the opposite direction."

"That building is full of traps from top to bottom, and even the glass is full of motion, heat, and other sensors. It is an ordinary office from the first to the tenth floor. If you want to go up, you not only need to swipe your card for authentication but also need to enter The person's gait and heartbeat are scanned and monitored. Even with super speed, it is impossible to sneak in without alarming any sensor. And if you trigger any sensor..."

"We're going to have to go to war with the World Army; that sucks, I understand." Jay raised his hand like a humbly asking student. "Then what do we do now?"

"From the sewer system, go directly to the forbidden area of ​​the building." Helena said, "I searched all the information about the building and found a forbidden area in it, even the prime minister of the coalition government cannot be in the future. Going through a series of complicated authorization procedures. Something in that area is completely unknown; my friend helped me hack into their internal network, and there are no data records."

Jay swallowed. "That was... irritating."

"It's risky, but that's the only chance we have."
