The convoy stopped in front of a fortress in the city center that was clearly fortified with military measures but was absolutely inconspicuous. After a series of extremely tedious checks and identity verifications, a high-ranking United States official finally came out to receive Liu Yun and his party.
Because the arrival of the China was so suspicious, and even though all the information they provided was perfectly accurate, the United States side remained extremely vigilant.
Several United States officials received General Liu Yun. Some of them were extremely familiar with the situation in China, while others were very familiar with Liu Yun himself, and some were even old friends of Liu Yun. They spent about half an hour, ostensibly receiving the guests, but in reality, they probed and tested the waters countless times before feeling a little more at ease.
Liu Yun immediately requested a meeting with a higher-ranking United States. commander.
Given Liu Yun's status, making such a request is not unreasonable at all.
After a brief hesitation, the United States side gave an affirmative answer.
However, only Liu Yun and his four attendants were allowed to enter the depths of the fortress; everyone else had to stay put.
The fact that they are so vigilant shows that the former world hegemon has become a frightened bird, terrified by insects, and dares not be careless in the slightest.
Like China's base cities, the United States also places its core command bases underground.
Taking the elevator, we descended at least 600 meters before stopping and arriving at a huge, modern base. It felt like a secluded city, with streets and buildings, futuristic architecture and passageways, and airport-like ground Teleport belts that stretched in all directions.
Liu Yun and the others had anticipated this scene. It was similar to underground cities in China, but in terms of technology, it was obviously slightly more advanced than China's. This might be related to the fact that the United States took longer to build this underground base. Such an underground city should have started construction before the apocalyptic disaster.
Liu Yun and his four companions were transported to an unknown location via Teleport belt.
We entered a huge, transparent room.
As soon as Liu Yun and his group of five entered the room, the electronically tempered glass suddenly closed without warning, completely isolating them like lab rats locked in a laboratory.
"What are you doing?" Liu Yun was taken aback, and his attendants questioned him in English.
If it weren't for Sun Fei, who was invisible to the United States, being by their side, the group would have started to worry about what tricks the United States were up to.
"I'm sorry, General Liu, as you know, according to our latest research, these insects possess unfathomable abilities in terms of mental power. Previously, there have been instances in cities where high-level insects used their mental power to control human bodies and infiltrate the command center. Therefore, we must confirm that we are dealing with genuine China friends, not some mindless zombies controlled by these insects!"
The American officer who was familiar with Liu Yun said with a slight apology.
Sun Fei was immediately puzzled.
It's unbelievable that insects have used their mental powers to control humans? It seems the United States experienced something similar before, and they even managed to find a way to identify or break free from this kind of mental control?
That's really intentional.
What an unexpected surprise!
As they spoke, wisps of white mist appeared, flowing through unseen channels in the ground and into the white glass chamber, instantly enveloping Liu Yun and the others in a hazy fog. A strange fragrance filled the air.
" General Liu, don't worry. This is a gas that only works on the mental power of insects and will not have any effect on the human body. Just stay in this gas for ten minutes to eliminate all the mental power control of the insects."
The US official outside was putting on a smiling face and explaining.
Liu Yun didn't show any particular expression. He had seen all kinds of situations. Although it was understandable that he was a little angry at being messed with by the United States, given his high status, the old general remained calm and composed, considering that Sun Fei seemed to have ulterior motives.
Sun Fei reached out and caught a wisp of white gas.
It's hard to identify what kind of substance this is, but one thing is certain: this gas does have a corrosive effect on mental energy, especially on the mental energy fluctuations of the Insect Race's unique spectrum.
" The United States actually managed to come up with this interesting gadget, not bad, not bad, haha..."
Sun Fei collected some gas samples, waiting for the China government laboratory and the [ Madman's Laboratory ] to replicate and study them. This was the first time he had encountered technology having the power to restrain things within the realm of magic and superpowers.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
Liu Yun and the others were released from the tempered glass laboratory.
"I'm so sorry, but everything is confirmed now. Welcome, old friend, to visit us..." the American officer said with a smile.
"Hmph!" Old General Liu, though old, still retained his formidable presence and snorted angrily.
The United States, all smiles and apologizing profusely, led Liu Yun and the others deeper into the underground city. They chatted and laughed along the way, with the American casually Earth Inquiry, "Old friend, don't be angry. After all, the whole world is under attack from these insects. Your sudden arrival is bound to raise suspicions. By the way, it's truly unbelievable how you managed to travel such a great distance..."
Liu Yun paused slightly, then smiled mysteriously, "That's a secret. Once I meet your true commander, I'll discuss this matter with you properly, because we're also very interested in United States's defense shield system and superpowered weapons."
As they were talking, they took the elevator again, descending an unknown number of meters, until they arrived at a more heavily guarded building.
Some researchers in white coats were busy inside the building, and then Liu Yun met with the United States. Supreme Commander, Vice President Dulankelin.
United States Obala tragically died on the very first day of the Insect Race outbreak, and now everything in the United States is controlled by this powerful vice president.
Sun Fei's attention was mostly drawn to the various laboratory scenes in architectural physics.
The United States captured a number of live insects for experiments, attempting to find the weaknesses of these monsters. Surprisingly, in addition to the spider-like insect monsters, they also captured many high-level insects. This progress was clearly much more impressive than that of the Chinese side.
Soon, Sun Fei discovered something that shocked him greatly.
