Chapter 32 The sword is drawn (2)
The conference room was a bit lively, but this kind of "hustle and bustle" looked cold to Li Zhen.
Dai Bingcheng's back was right in front of him, quite generous. He sat straight, his black uniform was stretched flat, like a thick wall. In this strange atmosphere, Li Zhen suddenly felt that something could be forgotten.
When he first joined the Secret Service Office, he was still a ignorant newcomer, but fortunately, the collective quickly accepted him. No matter what the reason was, Dai Bingcheng was really good to him, and he later realized a habit of Director Dai - most people had to stand at his desk and reply.
However, after two exchanges, he sat on the chair in front of him. The person who revealed this "secret" to him was no longer there, but he was still slightly excited after he learned about this.
Later, he went to Shennongjia to perform a mission - after experiencing a life-and-death situation, he survived successfully and did things he didn't dare to imagine. He paid some things and got something that he might not want, so he had more secrets.
If he was just a young man who had a little flexible mind but was ignorant of the world, then from that incident, the cold and cruel consciousness in his mind turned him into another person - that was a vague consciousness of killing, betrayal, prosperity and decline over an extremely long period of time.
It is also because of this obvious change and the "loss of composure" at the end of the incident that the relationship between Li Zhen and Dai Bingcheng seemed to become slightly tense.
However, the tacit estrangement made Li Zhen become much calmer when facing Director Dai. In fact, he had another thought in his mind - there were only two internal officers at the Northern Base. And he was the absolute main force... It seems that I really have the capital to be a little "unrestrained".
This is not a complex mentality such as tyranny of self-esteem, but just a judgment on the actual situation and the feeling that arises from it.
But now, he felt that he could forget something.
Because Director Dai, who had always made him unable to see clearly, clearly showed his attitude at this time - he was under great pressure and firmly stood in front of him without giving in. So the estrangement and suspicion of the past disappeared at this moment, and Li Zhen felt that he seemed to have regained the feeling he had just joined the northern base.
The deputy picket general of the military police headquarters was still waiting for Dai Bingcheng's answer, and the question he had just now obviously made Dai Bingcheng extremely angry, so that he maintained the embarrassing silence for a considerable period of time.
The assistant attorney general who presided over the meeting coughed and said, "Director Dai, you can express your thoughts."
But before Dai Bingcheng spoke, the president finally spoke.
The old man raised his head, looked around everyone, and said, "Don't be impatient."
Among the participants, he was a real minister of the Ministry and Pavilion. Therefore, even though this meeting was somewhat like a Hongmen Banquet, everyone calmed down. The old man who had been silent gently knocked on the table: "Lieutenant Li Zhen."
Next he held the steel pipe and walked to the other end of the conference table, facing the host's direction. Everyone could see clearly what he was going to show next - even the absent-minded entourage seemed to have cheered up. Perhaps in their opinion, the power displayed by Li Zhen was more like a performance show - although this power was used to save and protect something not long ago.
He held both ends of the steel pipe with his hand and put a little force in front of everyone. So the steel material twisted like a piece of plastic pipe, and because his wrist turned and twisted into a ball in the middle, it was finally divided into two pieces like a ham and landed on the table.
Just as an excellent magician wanted to sway the audience before performing the show, he looked around again, then leaned down, groaned, and inserted his hands under the carpet. Then he exerted force again, and a whole piece of marble floor tiles were pulled out by him, and the slag of cement concrete was placed on the table.
Then he put two twisted iron pipes on.
However, no one asked him again "what he planned to do". Even if even the general's face showed a slightly curious look. Obviously, the power displayed by Li Zhen had already made many people secretly startled, but that was just the beginning.
Li Zhen raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Someone asked before, have we exaggerated the recovery ability of the species? Then I will answer this question first."
He stared at the man and raised his right hand, rubbing his five fingers.
A muffled sound of crying, and a ball of flame emerged out of thin air.
The orange-red flame, the size of a fist, floated in the air at a height of about five centimeters from his fingertips. It did not rely on any combustible substances, floated in the air, but magically did not burn Li Zhen's fingers.
This scene is far more real and shocking than any picture. A low voice suddenly sounded in the conference room - but most of it came from the mouths of those entouragers. The big guys have more or less come into contact with those who are capable, and the scene in front of them is not enough to make them lose their composure.
"Flame control, A-level psychic energy." Li Zhen said, "The temperature of the flame in my hand is about 900 to 1100 degrees."
"However, I can make it hotter, for example, to 2000 degrees." His hand trembled slightly again, the flames roared a low roar, and the orange outer flame quickly turned pale yellow, and then turned from pale yellow to white blue.
Heat was transmitted to the surroundings through the air, and even the farthest, people two meters away from him could feel the burning heat on their faces. However, in order to maintain their image, the man just frowned slightly and leaned out quietly.
"2000 degrees, just a number." Li Zhen smiled, "Just like the names of those victims, they are symbols. Many people may not have an intuitive impression. Then we can see with our own eyes what a 2000 degree flame can be used for."
He pulled his five fingers away, and the flames in the air disappeared in an instant. Many people were slightly stunned, but Li Zhen had already lowered his head, took a few steps away, and pointed to a piece of iron pipe on the marble slab: "Please look."
Only then did people notice that a piece of iron pipe quickly turned into dark red, and then changed from dark red to bright red.
After only a few breaths, the iron pipe that was still strong and shiny just now showed a tendency to soften. Then it slowly deformed and collapsed in front of people's eyes like plastic that encountered high temperatures, from iron pipes to iron sheets, and then from iron sheets to semi-melting iron... and then slowly flowed along the surface of the marble. The stone under it obviously could not withstand this high temperature. The blue-black stone slab began to turn white and brittle, and a pungent smell appeared in the air.
Li Zhen put down his hand, then picked up a cup from the side and splashed the water inside.
A heavy smoke rose and was quickly sucked away by the ventilation equipment. However, the molten iron did not completely cool down and emitted a deep dark light.
The conference room is a little quiet right now.
Li Zhen waited for a while, and after they imprinted the scene just now, he shook his head: "This temperature can melt steel in a very short time. But everyone, this is far from enough for species. Perhaps humans will be turned into ashes in this flame, but the high temperature of 2,000 cannot eliminate the activity of species."
He looked at someone who was a little stunned and added: "So I've answered the previous question - have we exaggerated the recovery ability of the species?"
"Then we can answer another question - why do we want to completely eliminate Chiyou."
He took a few more steps, raised his right hand from afar, opened his five fingers slightly, and pointed to another iron tube: "If the species are completely inactivated, at least a high temperature of more than 6,000 degrees is required. This temperature can temporarily limit its activity and then partially solve it at a higher temperature. My approach is to discharge electricity in the high temperature to produce arc light. Under the action of nearly 10,000 degrees of high temperature, some parts of the species' body will be converted into plasma states - so that they cannot be reborn."
Some people seemed to realize what Li Zhen was going to do and turned their eyes to the second section of the iron pipe. Then the picket general exclaimed: "...it's enough!"
But he said it too late.
The surging flames rose from the steel pipes, and a loud bang in the air made a loud bang. The airflow pushed away by the high temperature swept across every space in the room with a rolling heat wave, and the warm wind blew the hair of the last few people into mess. In the face of this kind of hot feeling, the nearest few people could no longer remain calm, and instinctively turned their bodies to one side, as if they were planning to go further away from the stone slab.
But the next moment, a bright arc shot out from Li Zhen's fingertips, like a golden snake dancing, hitting the steel surface. So at this moment, a ball of fiery red "water vapor" rose at the contact point. At the same time as the water vapor, the bright red fluid below it - the magma that was directly vaporized at extremely high temperatures.
Flashes of explosions sounded, the wooden door of the conference room was pushed open, and the guards around rushed in with guns, and the heat sensing equipment on the ceiling also accurately outputted the water column at the first time - but the water column turned into a fog in the air, and the early warning system started again, and the cold and cold air column sprayed out again.
Although Li Zhen had already stopped, the high temperature inevitably ignited the wooden tabletop under the stone slab. The flames almost jumped up more than ten centimeters in the moment when the red fog rose, and then quickly extended toward the front. The participants on both sides screamed in panic and bypassed the seats. When they ran to the other end of the conference room, half of the table burned.
The venue was completely chaotic. The previous demeanor and calmness disappeared. The whole room squeezed to the host's end and distanced from Li Zhen by more than ten meters. The half table in front of him was shrouded in rolling gas - when the water flow could not lower the temperature, the warning system sprayed out liquid nitrogen.
Although liquid nitrogen was vaporized in mid-air, it finally effectively extinguished the small fire and quickly reduced the indoor temperature. The ventilation equipment exerted its maximum power, and several probes with brackets extended from the ceiling to absorb the nitrogen near the conference table as quickly as possible, and sprayed out the purified fresh air.
The efficient emergency system put out the flames on the scene in more than ten seconds, and the indoor air components returned to normal. It was not until this time that the panicked people finally calmed down temporarily, and the current scene seemed a bit ridiculous.
Most of the people were crowded together at the other end of the room. The big guys who were suspicious of the Shennongjia incident and even looked at the burnt conference table were stunned. The guards stood there with guns, not sure what to do.
Because there are still a few people sitting behind the table.
Chief, Dai Bingcheng, a major general in the army system and a colonel in the army system.
It was impossible to see if they were equally panicked, but the expression on their faces was calm. No matter what the army's attitude was towards the meeting, the two officers did show extraordinary courage. At the moment, they were staring at Li Zhen gloomy, and only their slightly trembling hands showed that their hearts might not be as calm as they showed on their faces.
As for Dai Bingcheng...
A slightly mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the picket chief who was trying to straighten his hair with interest.
There was a clear angriness on the host's face. He pointed his finger at Li Zhen, intending to say something to the guard in front of him - but the general manager had already spoken.
The voice was quite calm, but calm and powerful: "What's the matter? How can you turn it on?"
Then he looked at Li Zhen again: "Lieutenant, you will scare people like this."
Li Zhen was still in place, moving his body slightly so that he could recover from the biting chill of nitrogen just now. Then he smiled and said, "I was the one who failed. However..."
He looked at the people ahead: "Under the premise that you are unwilling to waste time watching our battle videos carefully, this is the only way to answer another question."
"Whether those who sacrificed in the battle are afraid of war, relaxed, and sacrificed worthless. Such a scene - the scene that made you feel frightened is the scene we faced that day. It is ten times more sinister than now - and my comrades at that time were fearless and generous. If you sit in an office with sofas and air conditioning and cannot truly understand what kind of enemy we are facing from characters and images, then I think you should have a general understanding now."
He paused, took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and said, "However, I would like to remind you that Chiyou, who was eliminated in this way, is only an incomplete species. It was almost a skeleton that day, and more powerful abilities were not exerted for some reason. If it returned to its full state after a period of time, then even I would not know whether my methods just now could completely inactivate it."
"And right now, I have reason to suspect that somewhere in this world, the third species is awakening. I am a small person and I am powerless to change anything. Of course, I can't interfere with you. You will continue to sit down and continue to quarrel in this meeting, spending a few days or more days to entangle those details that should be unquestionable."
"However, I would like to remind you that you would better pray that during this time the species that may exist would die on their own, or after it fully awakens, be able to inform us of its location, and stand motionlessly on a sparsely populated island in the Pacific, waiting for us to send it to the West with a nuclear bomb of millions of tons."
"My life is not very important. However, you seem to regard your life as important. So please measure what you should do later. My explanation will end here."
After saying this, Li Zhen let out a long sigh and stood there.
The people on the other side looked at each other and their faces gradually became solemn. The Assistant of the Prosecutor's General blushed, hesitated for a while, and still let out a low shout: "Arest him!"
Dai Bingcheng slapped the table and stood up: "Who dares!"
Tension.
The chief snorted coldly: "Xiao Dai, sit down for me!"
He glanced at the Assistant Attorney General again: "It's not your turn to take care of the people in the Secret Service System."
He was talking about the truth. But the truth did make the assistant unable to come out of Taiwan. So he took a few breaths and waved his hand: "Discontinue! Let's discuss it tomorrow!"
Li Zhen breathed a little relieved and looked at Dai Bingcheng. The latter nodded slightly to him with a calm face, so Li Zhen realized that what he had done was not too much.
But he couldn't guarantee that anyone would be injured - even the high temperature in that moment was a little scared, let alone those ordinary people. Maybe it would cause burns?
But according to the thickness of those people's skin... they may be completely defeated.
It was also at this time that he figured out what happened before - Jinghu Villa and his party, Ying Gong, took special care of him. Before entering the venue, the one who suddenly appeared. In fact, they were all conveying a message to him - you can "do it nonsense".
However, he failed to understand the profound meaning behind these things at that time - it seemed that those people overestimated their sophistication. However, it was a coincidence... Li Zhen was not a dough that could be kneaded by others.
It was the first time to get here in the South China Sea. So obviously I can't continue - at least not today.
However, just as people were about to leave with anger, a person appeared at the door.
As soon as this person appeared, not only those people at the door, but also Li Zhen was stunned.
It was still like before. Maybe he didn't know who the governor of this province was or who the Zhishi of this city was, but he was too familiar with this person's face. In fact, more than half of the people in the world can recognize this face.
Prime Minister of the Empire.
The room fell silent for a moment, and probably no one expected the Prime Minister to appear here. Then there was only one situation - in fact, he had been paying close attention to the progress of the meeting.
The Prime Minister is quite thin and his face is a little long, but fortunately his high nose bridge attracted most of the attention. In fact, this Prime Minister was considered a handsome man when he was young. Photos of his college days have been circulating on the Internet. It is said that at that time he was still a "slut" in a sense.
But now he is over 50 years old, which is the most calm and sophisticated age of a man. Even if he stands alone at the door with his hands behind his back, some invisible momentum will spread out - perhaps it is his personal charm, or it comes from people's perception of him in their hearts.
But no matter what, the atmosphere in the venue calmed strangely because of his appearance.
Then the Prime Minister glanced at everyone, his sharp eyes as sharp as a knife stopped slightly on Li Zhen, and said, "This meeting has to be opened. Change the venue."
Chapter completed!
