Chapter 2: Cauldron
One person exclaimed in astonishment: "Are you in the same department as me? How come I've never seen you before?"
Dragging two long arms, Xiahou frowned: "I am just a perfectly normal man, how could I be a monster? Ha!" With a loud shout, a burst of earthy yellow energy suddenly exploded around the girl, causing her to let out a muffled groan, blood gushing from all seven orifices, and she fell back, looking up at the sky.
Within the great cauldron behind him surged an extraordinarily powerful force, so formidable that it made Xiahou tremble all over. He could not fathom the origin of this power, nor could he comprehend why a five-meter-high bronze cauldron would contain such terrifying strength. However, he understood that this power had only manifested after his blood was absorbed by the cauldron. It seemed that his blood merely served as a catalyst, igniting the vitality of this great cauldron.
The three of them chuckled lightly at the same time. After discussing a few details once more, following their standard operating procedure, a thick layer of earthy yellow light enveloped Xiahou's body as he burrowed into the ground
The yellow earth-type elemental force provided no protective effect; a transparent hole the size of a sea bowl was pierced through the right side of Xiahou's chest, and a trickle of fresh blood flowed from the wound, gradually turning into a fountain of blood. The powerful impact caused him to stagger, and he weakly leaned against one of the legs of the large cauldron
Xiahou lazily blinked his eyelids and casually mentioned the designation of a team he had once encountered: "Red Arrow, what about you?"
Zone 53 now consists of a deep pit over a thousand meters deep and ten kilometers in diameter, with nothing else remaining.
The old man shouted, "NO, if you want to destroy these things, then you must do so over my dead body!"
The old man suddenly jumped up, and one could hardly tell where he found such abundant vitality. He tilted his head and looked at Xiahou, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Ah, I just remembered, you cannot damage anything here. Everything here, all the materials and instruments, belongs to the United States of America. If you dare to do anything here, it would be an extremely serious diplomatic incident, and it could even lead to war. You cannot do this." Everything here, all the materials and instruments, belongs to the United States of America. If you dare to do anything here, it would be an extremely serious diplomatic incident, and it could even lead to war. You cannot do this.
A dull thud echoed as the man plunged straight into the ground, leaving a hole about one meter wide. Two long, thick arms reached out from the dark pit, gently pressing against the ground, and with a cloud of dust, Xiahou leaped out. Only Xiahou, who had cultivated the eighth transformation of the Xuanwu Nine Transformations, with a body harder than diamond and astonishing defensive and self-recovery abilities, could make such a flamboyant entrance.
Then the old man screamed: "You damned soldiers, thugs, war maniacs, stop him! Stop him!"
Taking a deep breath, the perspiring Xiahou fixed his gaze on the research room, and his attention was immediately drawn to the three-legged round cauldron in the center of the hall. The cauldron stood about 5 meters tall, entirely in a shade of blue, adorned with countless carvings of mountains, rivers, plants, and mythical beasts. A faint, lustrous glow emanated from within the cauldron, exuding an air of majesty and solemnity. To Xiahou, it seemed as if the cauldron, standing there, had already dominated the entire space.
The general cursed furiously: "Get rid of that mole! Lock up that damned Xuanwu or sea turtle! I will have the president immediately lodge a protest with the Chinese side!" He glared at Xiahou and said viciously: "Just wait and see, yellow-skinned monkey, I will make you lose face in front of the whole world. You are the first superhuman to be captured in the world; think about what price your country will pay because of you."
Xiahou spread his hands and said frankly: "Perhaps you do not understand the matters between us. However, the interactions among superpowered individuals will not trigger a war. I forcefully entered your base, but your country's superpowered individuals have done the same. We have an understanding; such small-scale conflicts will not lead to significant disputes. At most, there might be another round of economic sanctions, but now that everyone has joined the WTO, who really cares about that?"
The internal line has taken control of the cameras? Xia Hou silently advanced according to the instructions of the internal line, feeling an immense admiration for his colleagues in the Special Operations Bureau. They seemed capable of placing moles in any department of any country; such a skill, Xia Hou believed, was beyond his own capabilities
The base vanished into nothingness in one billionth of a second. In the vicinity of the base, the ground within a radius of twenty miles was completely upheaved, and a black beam of light with a diameter exceeding ten kilometers shot straight up into the sky. Coincidentally, this beam struck the full moon in the night sky, causing the moon to emit a strange rumbling sound, and a strong cyan light rapidly spread outwards. Everything returned to normal.

Xiahou glanced at his watch, nodded, and said to the group, "Well, let's not waste time; this isn't the first time we've done these things. It is 21:37 now, and if I haven't come out in two hours, the support team should withdraw completely." He looked at the two young men and smiled, saying, "If I unfortunately meet my end, tell Xiao Chong, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Niao to take good revenge on them. But I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?"
With the outer defense perimeter of the e53, he entered the storage room located at the base level. From a wooden box in one corner, he found a wireless earphone and stuffed it into his left ear, then took out the black tight-fitting uniform and put it on. Xiahou suddenly widened his eyes and let out a helpless smile.
The elevator came to a stop, and Xiahou stepped out, but a sudden heaviness weighed down on his heart
Xiahou was continuously gasping for cold air, his whole body trembling. Anyone would find it unbearable to have a transparent hole in their chest. "Havel, I didn't expect you to ambush me. What weapon did you use? Its power is far stronger than that of a cannon."
In front of me stood a heavy metal door. The intercom once again relayed the instructions: "You have a magnetic card in your pocket. Swipe it at the card reader on the door, then enter the password Z53SA35732. The password has no significance; it is used to verify your fingerprint. However, I have already taken care of everything, so feel free to proceed."
After a moment of stillness, a strong, earth-colored light more than a foot thick erupted from Xiahou. With a thunderous roar, it was as if hundreds of special police were simultaneously detonating stun grenades, instantly knocking down the hundreds of soldiers who had been hesitantly pursuing from behind. He slowly swung his fist towards the great door.
In fact, once the Four Spirits take action, it often signifies destruction, and tasks of other natures are rarely entrusted to them
Another image of the perimeter of the E53 underground base. The internal lines cannot provide all the blueprints; he only knows of two limited passages leading to the core area. Fourth Brother, your infiltration point is here!" A flashing red dot appeared on the construction diagram, and the young man pointed at it.
Without making any changes to his posture, and without seeing him open the parachute, he simply straightened his body and fell straight down towards the earth
The old man was at a loss for words, and after a long while, he finally stammered, "But now it belongs to us. At the very least, I spent 70 million U.S. dollars to buy this item from an artifact smuggling gang."
A gaunt old man of Jewish descent suddenly jumped out, shouting: "Yes, this is exactly what we are studying! I do not care which country you are from or what your purpose here is, I implore you not to destroy anything here! Otherwise, you will be committing a crime against the progress of human civilization! This cauldron contains technological information that exceeds Earth's current technology by at least one hundred thousand years!" I do not care which country you are from or what your purpose here is, I implore you not to destroy anything here! Otherwise, you will be committing a crime against the progress of human civilization! This cauldron contains technological information that exceeds Earth's current technology by at least one hundred thousand years!
Havil raised his head proudly and bowed to Xiahou, presenting a weapon resembling a silver single-soldier rocket launcher as if offering a treasure. "Behold, the latest technological achievement from this marvelous cauldron: a practical particle cannon. Isn't it astonishing? From the bronze cauldron unearthed in your Shanxi region, dating back tens of thousands of years, such information is contained within. Is it a remnant of prehistoric civilization? Or a message left by extraterrestrials? It doesn't matter; all I know is that I have defeated you."
Xiahou walked forward along a brightly lit corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were several recessed spaces, each occupied by one or two burly men holding firearms, their fierce gazes fixed on Xiahou.
At an altitude of ten thousand meters, a Boeing passenger plane swiftly flew by. Its front landing gear compartment slowly opened, and a tall figure jumped down from within.
Xiahou licked his lips and closed his eyes: "I am sorry to my wife, because I cannot fulfill my promise to her. But I also know one thing. When I was selected by the Secret Service and received rigorous training from my master, who is the previous generation's Xuanwu, I swore: I will never cause any consequences that harm the country because of myself"
With a single punch, the two-foot-thick alloy door before him shattered into pieces under the harsh yellow light, and Xiahou charged in with his towering figure. The internal security defense system immediately activated, and countless tongues of fire roared towards him; however, as soon as any bullet made contact with his body, it was instantly deflected away.
Havil smiled almost with glee: "General, you should not underestimate a superpowered individual, even if he is severely injured, especially a strong figure like Mr. Xuanwu. You must show him sufficient respect, or else the consequences will be like yours"
Xiahou shook his head: "My goal is to either take the data or destroy this place. Hmm, one hundred thousand years?" Suddenly, Xiahou understood why the information transmitted from the insider was so urgent. In today's world, if any country possesses technology that surpasses Earth’s civilization by one hundred thousand years, the implications for other countries are self-evident
Suddenly, a heat surged in his ear, and the earphones unexpectedly emitted countless electric sparks, self-destructing. Xiahou muttered, "An acquaintance? That shouldn't be the case. There are very few who can survive after crossing paths with us. Even the occasional lucky ones end up maimed by the White Tiger and can no longer serve."
A superpowered individual glanced around and lowered their voice: "Do you want the boss to punish us by making us run ten thousand laps around the base? Hmm, the newcomer? Which department are you from?"
The internal line was chattering incessantly: "Kailin, the notorious flirt in the base, as long as you have a bit of personal charm, you can easily get her into bed. Move faster, I don't care which department you were sent from, we only have a little bit of time. Hurry up, hurry up, do you think it's easy for me to establish a top-secret communication channel within the authority of the base's main control computer? If I'm discovered, I don't fear death, but dying in the same way as those eleven brothers would be worthless; I would be at a loss. " Hurry up, hurry up, do you think it's easy for me to establish a top-secret communication channel within the authority of the base's main control computer? If I'm discovered, I don't fear death, but dying in the same way as those eleven brothers would be worthless; I would be at a loss.
Do not pay them any mind; they are soldiers of the internal security team, just like you. There is a built-in chip in your clothing, and I have adjusted the permissions to the highest level within my reach. Walk over casually; as long as the scanner does not trigger an alarm, they are essentially just decorations.
After a moment of pause, the major scolded angrily and shamefully, "Are you all from the internal security team just a bunch of thugs pulled from the army?" With an air of arrogance, she tossed her head back and pointed towards the elevator door, saying, "Do you still want to go up with me?" She shot a fierce glare at Xiahou's arms, which were almost bursting out of his clothes, and involuntarily swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Havil raised his eyebrows and waved his hands: "Oh, enough, enough, we never said we would kill you. You have the chance to go back and have dinner with your wife. Well, don't be childish, alright? Do you really think that by holding onto that large cauldron, we cannot make you leave here?"
As Xiahou was about to make contact with the bronze cauldron, an incredibly intense beam of white light shot down from above, piercing through his chest
The unique method of activating the internal driving spirit tool of the Xuanwu True Solution was unleashed, as Xiahou forcefully extracted the immense and boundless power from the great cauldron, using his own body as a conduit to spread it outward in all directions
This is a storage room for miscellaneous items, rarely frequented by anyone. Inside, there is a set of uniforms for the base and wireless headsets. After changing clothes, one should follow the arrangements communicated through the internal line
Task completed, objective thoroughly destroyed. Xuanwu. Sacrifice
Xiahou smiled bitterly, feeling that the bronze cauldron was undergoing some strange changes; it was actually absorbing the blood that flowed from him, and it felt almost impatient. Looking at the general, Xiahou could only cooperate and say, "Then, why?" Why bother with so much? Any change in the bronze cauldron was a good thing. If it could release hundreds of monsters from within, Xiahou would fall in love with it. Could things get any worse than they are now? He was indifferent. Any change in the bronze cauldron was a good thing. If it could release hundreds of monsters from within, Xiahou would fall in love with it. Could things get any worse than they are now? He was indifferent.
The uniform on his upper body burst open, and Xiahou regained his original appearance. His arms, significantly longer than those of an average person, flailed wildly, each strike carrying a force of tens of thousands of pounds, sending a group of elite soldiers, who seemed to have appeared from nowhere, screaming in agony as they were tossed aside like sandbags
Two extremely powerful auras suddenly shot over, and a voice roared in anger: "It's you again, Xuanwu! Do you remember me? You damned fellow, why is it that every time we have a bit of good fortune, your cursed Four Spirits always show up?" These two auras were incredibly strong, a stark contrast to those superpowered individuals from earlier.
What exactly are they researching? The difference at 20:00 is too significant. Or do they think we won't focus on this place? Xiahou was a bit curious; the defensive capabilities here are indeed worlds apart from what Yang Tong described. As an insider, isn't it quite easy for me to infiltrate the core area close to them?
After pondering for a moment, he walked straight towards the fully transparent elevator located in the center of the space. Xiahou stood inside the elevator, casually pressed the button for the lowest floor, and stood leisurely in the middle of the elevator. As the elevator descended slowly, he revealed a gentle smile to the researchers in the circular transparent rooms they passed along the way.
Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind; this bronze cauldron surprisingly contains the elemental forces of all properties
Xiahou tilted his head and looked at the large cauldron, frowning as he said: "However, I find it quite strange that this cauldron seems to be a product of our China"
A powerful force struck the chests of these individuals almost simultaneously, akin to an enraged earth dragon, as the pale yellow energy shattered their bodies from within. Xiahou looked helplessly at the ten men from the Shihe Library, who stood there stiffly, and sighed, "Execute Plan Two, destroy this place." If the information cannot be obtained, then destruction is preferable; it is better than allowing others to grasp certain advanced technologies and use them against us.
Indeed, it is vitality. This great cauldron is alive, or rather, it possesses a spirit. It has been awakened by the blood of Xiahou
Taking a deep breath, Xiahou gritted his teeth and said, "You can report to your superiors, just tell them that I successfully took away this treasure. Hmm, it's your incompetence, not my prowess." He transformed into a beam of yellow light and lunged towards the large cauldron. No matter what, let's give it a try; the five-meter tall bronze cauldron isn't too intimidating in weight. With it, activating the earth escape technique should allow me to run over a hundred kilometers smoothly. No matter what, let's give it a try; the five-meter tall bronze cauldron isn't too intimidating in weight. With it, activating the earth escape technique should allow me to run over a hundred kilometers smoothly
More than twenty superpowered individuals rushed in from all directions, while Xiahou simply stomped his foot hard on the ground. Immediately, a strange roar echoed in the air, and dozens of massive streams of yellow elemental energy surged up from the ground, coiling around these superpowered individuals like giant pythons, twisting them into various bizarre shapes and flinging them far away.
Xiahou charged into the core research room, which spanned over ten thousand square meters, like a tiger. With both hands flailing, he tossed aside a dozen researchers clad in white lab coats as if they were mere straw, sending them flying several meters away. Considering that these individuals were in administrative roles, Xiahou showed some restraint and did not harm them further
After a bitter smile, he casually threw the metal gate over twenty meters, smashing two armored vehicles that had inexplicably appeared. Xiahou sighed, saying, "Thus, I can only work as a responder or a janitor in the Special Operations Bureau." With another kick, the imposing metal gate, ten meters high, over six meters wide, and a full two meters thick, shook violently.
An explosion, a devastating explosion, seemed to awaken the spirit within the cauldron. It appeared to understand something and made a certain decision, completely unleashing the immense power within.
The raging flames outside caused no harm to Xiahou. Bill opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his heart and lungs. A superpowered individual who had already reached the S rank in terms of strength was crushed to death by Xiahou with a single punch. Another beautiful girl, whose strength was on par with Bill's, let out a cry of alarm and immediately summoned a gust of wind, retreating several dozen meters while shouting in terror: "Monster!"
In front of him stood a dozen men, all dressed in black uniforms, effectively blocking the only entrance to the core of the base. The faint aura of energy emanating from these men indicated that they were all formidable superpowered individuals.
One of the young men immediately took out a small device and glanced at it: "According to the small drone we deployed, there are no large organisms within a radius of twenty kilometers."
The soldiers cautiously watched Xiahou, remaining motionless. Xiahou helplessly scratched his head and said, "I apologize, old sir, but it seems that the defensive capabilities of your newly established base are insufficient to deal with me. To be frank, all the superpowered individuals in your entire country have previously been defeated by me or my colleagues, so it is impossible to rely on them to stop me"
An elderly man with silver hair, bearing the rank of Major General on his shoulder, slowly emerged from a portal that suddenly裂开 in the wall. He spoke with authority: "Mr. Xuanwu, do you not find it strange? The technology we possess is sufficient to turn the entire base into an impenetrable fortress, yet you still managed to infiltrate so easily. Even your insider, that detestable mole, is still alive and well, capable of alerting your organization. Why?"
Havel proudly bowed again: "As you know, none of the superpowered individuals in our country can match you. Even if the seven of us joined forces, we would not be able to breach your defenses. But what does it matter? We possess technology and science, and we are currently transforming them into practical experimental products within this base"
Haweier grinned: "Xuanwu, reputed to possess the strongest vitality in the world, the strongest defense, and the third greatest destructive power, I have defeated you. Therefore, my reputation should rise significantly, right? My salary should also increase by an order of magnitude. We can publicly declare that we, the Red Arrow, are the first superpower organization to have defeated the Four Spirit Generals of the Chinese Special Operations Bureau. Long live! Perfect! A glorious victory, isn't it?" We can publicly declare that we, the Red Arrow, are the first superpower organization to have defeated the Four Spirit Generals of the Chinese Special Operations Bureau. Long live! Perfect! A glorious victory, isn't it?
It was as if a golden gong had shattered, producing a thunderous explosion. Xiahou's body was fused with various types of elemental forces, and the terrifying power, nearly in a state of chaos, burst forth, transforming into a mass of blood plasma. Xiahou's blood sprayed onto the great cauldron, which suddenly expanded to a height of nearly 100 meters, emanating a strange black light throughout.
Xiahou shook his slightly dizzy head, coughed heavily once, and his cough echoed with a double sound, resonating from his throat and producing an echo from his spacious lungs. Standing in a standard posture with his hands behind his back, Xiahou said solemnly: "During the mission period, we must be serious. Are there any witnesses nearby?"
Xiahou raised his head and looked at a young man engulfed in raging flames, who helplessly spread his hands: "Bill? Are you alright? I’m sorry, your brother was killed by the White Tiger; you can’t just shift all the blame onto me, can you?" With a punch thrown, a strange sound echoed in the air again, as if the surrounding atmosphere had been vacuumed by this punch. Xiahou's fist grew to a full foot in size, resembling a hammer that struck Bill's abdomen with great force
Xiahou nodded and said seriously, "No problem!" With a kick, the old man was sent flying more than ten meters away, landing on the ground and shouting.
Seven powerful superpowered individuals jumped off the overpass and slowly walked towards Xiahou. "Just think, when the soldiers of our country each wield such a particle cannon. Ah, what kind of changes will the world situation undergo at that time? Of course, this is something for the politicians to consider, but what makes me the happiest is that I defeated Xuanwu"
With a kick, he forcefully opened another metal door. Xiahou swung the nearly ten-ton heavy door wildly, causing more and more soldiers around him to flee in panic, as he stepped closer to the core area of the base. While demonstrating his terrifying combat prowess, Xiahou complained, "I knew it would be like this; it always is whenever I go on a mission. It always turns into a full-blown fight halfway through! Why can't I be like a little bird, stealing something and leaving without the owner noticing a trace?"
Havil smiled at Xiahou, weighing the particle cannon in his hand, and proudly stood on his tiptoes: "I must say, technology rules everything, don’t you think? You will receive VIP-level service, dear Mr. Xuanwu." Havil and the other seven turned to leave but suddenly turned back and said: "You have another choice. Our Red Arrow is lacking a master-level superpower user like you. Would you be willing to join us? We can announce to the public that you have been eliminated."
Two red dots appeared simultaneously on the watch, one red dot representing Xiahou and the other red dot indicating the storage room he infiltrated
A thick beam of yellow light burst forth from Xiahou, and he shouted sternly: "Do you want to use me? You can only obtain a corpse! Sorry, Xiaohua. We truly are not from the same world. If, if I could have a next life, I would definitely seek you out and say, I'm sorry"
A Toyota pickup, commonly used by the American populace, slowly approached. Two young men, dressed in dirty work uniforms, jumped out of the vehicle and gave a thumbs-up to Xiahou, saying: "Fourth Brother, you truly are the most formidable in our bureau. Even the boss of the Qinglong gang wouldn't dare to jump down headfirst from over 10,000 meters like you! Wow, impressive!"
The metal portal opened, and under the vigilant gazes of those soldiers, Xiahou strode in.
This is a peculiar space, resembling a vertical cannon barrel. The circular barrel has a diameter of 500 meters and a height of nearly 1 kilometer. Steel beams protrude from the surrounding metal walls, supporting numerous circular areas of various sizes in mid-air. Through the transparent walls of those areas, many people can be seen busily working with some strange instruments.
"Is this what you are researching?" Without paying any attention to the thousands of elite soldiers surrounding him, Xiahou frowned and asked
The old man shouted: "But you have taken something that could change the course of civilization on Earth!"
After hesitating for quite a while, Xiahou still could not come up with a countermeasure. The old man, however, said with a smug expression: "You cannot take it away, nor can you destroy it. But it is quite strange that when we first started studying it, it was only fifty centimeters tall. As we accidentally input high-voltage electricity into it, its size kept increasing. Hmm, I am very curious to see what it will become when the nearby nuclear power plant is completed next month and its entire energy is supplied to it"
The general's tone also carried a hint of pride: "Because we need a test subject, and China's powerful superhumans are the best candidates. For a long time, battles among your superhumans have left no survivors, meaning there have been no captives. Thus, countries around the world have reached a tacit understanding that incidents involving superhumans will not affect the major relationships between nations. However, now that we have a captive like you, what kind of advantage will we gain? How much initiative will we possess?"
The researchers were momentarily taken aback, returned his friendly smile, and then redirected all their attention back to the instruments in front of them
The general smiled and suddenly kicked the book with great force into Xiahou's lower body: "You filthy yellow-skinned monkey. Ah, my foot!" The general, who originally intended to display his authority, suddenly clutched his foot and cried out in agony. The residual energy within Xiahou had mercilessly turned his entire calf into a mushy mess.
He turned his hands backward and tightly embraced one of the legs of the large cauldron. Xiahou smiled bitterly: "I promised my wife that I would return for dinner."
It was as if the core research laboratory of E53 had been struck by a drum, immediately erupting with shouts of anger and alarm. The main door crashed to the ground, and streams of bright red flowed out from beneath, leaving one to wonder how many unfortunate souls had been crushed underneath.
Please note that from now on, there is an energy barrier in the area, so try not to expose your abilities. This is also the reason why I asked you to infiltrate from the outer storage room. Zone 53 is an urgent base, and many areas are not yet perfected, but the internal forces are strong, so do not underestimate them. I still do not understand how my companions were exposed.
With a helpless twist of his body, he forcibly compressed the structure of his arm by more than one foot using the internal energy within him. Looking at his now bulkier arm and even more peculiar shape, Xiahou could only cautiously open the storage room door and sneak a glance outside.
This is where it ends. The only thing I can do is bring you closer to the core area, but the rest will depend entirely on your personal abilities. The core area is at the very bottom of the cannon tube, and the most critical secrets are contained within. I hope you can obtain their research materials. Good luck! I cannot be exposed; from now on, there will be no contact between us. After a while, the insider suddenly laughed: "If you hear the alarm in a moment, I will do my best to create conditions for your escape. I wish you well; I hope you are not discovered by acquaintances and do not expose yourself too early." I cannot be exposed; from now on, there will be no contact between us. After a while, the insider suddenly laughed: "If you hear the alarm in a moment, I will do my best to create conditions for your escape. I wish you well; I hope you are not discovered by acquaintances and do not expose yourself too early."
Is all the focus of defense placed here?" Xiahou felt a bit troubled: "There are so many superpowered individuals at the entrance, what about inside?"
Seven men dressed in black trench coats, each bearing a red arrow emblem on the left side of their chests, stood on the skybridge against the wall of the laboratory, coldly observing the severely injured Xiahou. The middle-aged man at the center wore a sinister smile on his face: "Mr. Xuanwu, I apologize that our leadership from the Red Arrow could not come out personally to spar with you. We understand that it would be futile; your superpowers are truly terrifying. However, human wisdom can always triumph over someone like you, who relies on physical strength."
The instructions came through the headset in a timely manner, and Xiahou smiled according to the directive: "Major Kaelin, do you not recognize me? But our boss, hehe!" He cast a sharp glance at the major's chest with a somewhat unusual expression.
Xiahou Meng nodded slightly and said, "Aha, then it is you who first violated the law. According to the relevant laws of Interpol, this item still belongs to our country. At most, we will return seventy million U.S. dollars to you. However, please hand over all the materials." After hesitating for a moment, Xiahou stared at the large cauldron for a long time and said with a wry smile, "Damn it, how can I take this thing away? Destroy it? That would be too regrettable."
The clothes fit very well, designed for a standard build of a man who is 1.90 meters tall. However, Xiahou has an unusually large physique; when he puts on the clothes, his arms extend more than a foot outside the sleeves! "What bad luck, I knew this would happen. It's not the first or second time. Why is it that whenever these insiders prepare clothes for me, they are always ill-fitting?"
A clear voice came through the headphones: "Stop complaining. With your figure, it's already good enough to find some clothes that fit. Don't make any noise; there are cameras in the storage room, but I have them under control. Listen to me, there is no one outside the door. Turn left and walk 200 meters to find an elevator. The elevator code is A993572X. Go down to the lowest level."
Shaking his head, Xiahou was astonished to discover that the vast majority of the staff in this enormous space were dressed in snow-white work uniforms, while his own black uniform appeared strikingly conspicuous.
The elevator descended directly to the lowest floor, where the door opened, and a woman with a major's insignia on her shoulder suddenly walked in. Casually glancing at Xiahou, she asked, "Which department are you from?" She looked at the uniform Xiahou was wearing; in this base, apart from a few officers, the uniforms of other staff members were almost identical, making it impossible to discern any clues from the clothing.
He felt a heavy heart, yet a bright smile appeared on his face as he walked towards those people: "Hey, is anyone willing to play a game of blackjack? This shift is just too boring."
Absorbing energy? Increasing in volume? The origins of this round cauldron are quite extraordinary
In the distance, the members of Xiahou's support team stared in astonishment at the scene that resembled something out of a science fiction blockbuster, frantically sending encrypted messages.
