Gate of Apocalypse

Chapter 789

Roddy faced a laptop, but instead of typing on the keyboard, he just placed his hands flat on top of the laptop.

His eyes were closed, but the pages on the screen were flickering at a maximum refresh rate that was invisible to the naked eye.

"Roughly ...... found it." Roddy opened his eyes, "No details, but two days ago, the small town of Greendale had several consecutive reports of animal injuries. But nothing more has come out of this town in the past two days."

"Distance? Square?" Tire nods and chants.

"Southeast, about a hundred kilometers or so."

Tire thought about it and nodded, "Then ...... let's split up into two teams. I'll head to that town with my spare tire, JoJo, and start surveillance immediately to make sure the other teams don't take the alien meteorite first. Roddy, Xia Xiaolei, and Flagwood West, you three stay in downtown Los Angeles, and if you find a suitable target, you don't have to notify me and immediately make a capture."

"Understood."

The three Rowdies nodded.

"Then ...... action!"

......

In a small bar, Tianlie and Nicole are sitting opposite each other.

Nicole had a cocktail in front of her, barely touched, and half the table in front of Tian Lie was already filled with empty beer bottles.

"You got the copy prompt, right?" Tian Lie looked at Nicole.

"Roger that." Nicole nodded, "We have ten hours before the location of the mission item is indicated, so we can take another break."

"Rest my ass!"

Tian Lie gulped down the last of his beer, tossed the bottle on the table, threw two bills on the table, and strode toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Nicole immediately stood up and followed behind Tian Lie.

"You can't expect us to walk two laps down the street and have a transport convoy automatically jump in front of us." Tian Lie walked out the door and laughed loudly and wildly as he strode forward, "I can't wait ten hours. And to locate the military transport convoy, we'll have to hack into the U.S. military's data network, of course."

"Crap, of course I know." Nicole sulked, "But you just said you were looking for a military base, not an internet cafe! Also, can you keep your voice down? People five blocks away heard it!"

"You idiot." Tian Lie looked at Nicole with the look of an idiot, "The military's networks are all physically isolated from the outside world, and can only be hacked with the same intranet system, and you don't even understand that?"

But he did lower his voice a bit.

"Okay." Nicole nodded.

"In a big city like Los Angeles, there are definitely garrisons around. But ...... "Tian Lie scratched his bald head: "I don't know where it is. Either ...... let's make a scene! If we get rid of all the cops who come for us, the army will show up next."

"You're really sick in the head, aren't you? ......" Nicole looked black in the face, "Forget it, I'll drive. I know where it is."

"Huh?"

Tian Lie watched Nicole walk to the side of the car, "How do you know?"

"I used to, work for an intelligence agency for the US government." Nicole pulled the door open, got into the driver's seat, and bobbed her head at Tian Lie, "Get in."

Less than half an hour after driving from Beverly Hills, Nicole slowly pulled over to the side of the road.

This ...... is still an urban area and the buildings are still dense.

"Here? Military bases?" Tian Lie turned his head and looked at Nicole, "Is your memory right."

"My brain isn't as bad as yours." Nicole said faintly, "See that building up ahead? Los Angeles Air Force Base, which is a non-navigational research and development base for the Air Force. Since it's also part of the military's system, it's also connected to the military's internal network."

"Okay." Tian Lie shrugged, "You're in charge. You wait here, I'll be back soon."

"Wait!" Nicole froze, "What are you doing?"

"I'm not going, are you?" Tian Lie glared at Nicole.

"There's no need to make so much noise now." Nicole shook her head, "I have the ID to get through the gate. Then ...... will figure out how to see how to get the information."

"Don't dream about it." Tian Lie laughed maniacally, "What position do you think you're in? General? It's impossible for you to have access to this kind of information at a secret level."

"It's better to try first, than for you to just break in." Nicole frowned, "You're staying here."

"Who says I'm going to break in?" Tian Lie stroked his head and leisurely said, "Little angel, hand over your papers."

"What for?" Nicole looked at Tian Lie suspiciously, but still reached out her hand and gave Tian Lie a copy of her ID.

Tian Lie took the document and opened it, took a look at the photo on it, then looked at Nicole, and smiled, "As expected, the ID photo is never much uglier than the real person."

"Have you seen enough." Nicole saw Tian Lie turn her face, her gaze from her hair to her toes, and her eyes stared hard at Tian Lie.

"Haven't seen enough." Tian Lie shook his head, his eyes still on Nicole, "Can't show anything broken."

"What?" As Nicole frowned, she saw a luster flash across Sky Lie's entire body, and his entire body turned into a stream of metal data and began to slowly squirm.

"Disgusting." Nicole grunted, watching Tian Lie in front of her gradually transform into his own form, from his facial features to his hairstyle to the clothes on his body, all seemed to be carved out of the same mold.

"Well? Nothing different, right?" Tian Lie looked at the stunned Nicole, "Take a good look."

"There won't be anyone there who knows me, you don't have to be so concerned about the details." Nicole shook her head, "Hurry up and go."

"Okay." Tian Lie smiled coquettishly at Nicole, pushed open the door and stepped out of the car, a pair of long legs in a cat walk, her plump buttocks swaying in the wind.

"Damn! I don't walk like you!" Nicole rolled down her window and bellowed at Skylie.

"There won't be anyone in there who knows you, I don't have to be so concerned about the details." Tian Lie turned his head and smiled a ...... well, charming smile at Nicole: "That's what you said."

After waiting for more than half an hour, Nicole saw in front of her, transformed into her own form, Tian Lie was swaying towards her here.

"Done." Tian Lie came over, pulled open the door and sat in the passenger seat, giving Nicole back her ID, "You seem to have a pretty high rank, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible for me to enter an area with an intranet interface so easily."

"I'm just a regular staff member. Of all the intelligence agencies in the US, DHS is the one that works most closely with the military. But if you're trying to operate a computer, I still don't have enough access." Nicole said bluntly, "Change back quickly, I don't like to see you as me."

"Don't worry, I didn't go to the bathroom just now." Tian Lie laughed and transformed back into his original appearance.

"What are the details? Where to?" Nicole started the car.

"There's a town to the southeast called Greendale. Three days ago, a meteorite landed near there. It seems that the meteorite was carrying some kind of alien gene that infected the local organisms, including the residents. But before the infection could spread to the area, the U.S. military was dispatched to clean up all the infected organisms. The meteorite that was the source of the infection has been found and contained, and is intended to be sent to a secret base in Arizona for study. I say, could that be the fabled Area 51?"

"It's kind of one of those places." Nicole nodded, "I know that place, but I've never been there. Is the meteorite still around town now?"

"Hmm." Tian Lie nodded, "The U.S. Army is operating efficiently, and has now cordoned off a ten-kilometer radius around the crash site, including that town, set up a military perimeter, and stationed a brigade of Marines, as well as two battalions of Marines. The estimated time of departure for the meteorite escort is eight hours later."

"But ...... extraterrestrial life?" Nicole frowned, "If that's the backdrop of the plot, how did the U.S. Army take them out?"

"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" Tian Lie immediately laughed uproariously, "No way, the difficulty of this copy doesn't look too high. The meteorite is only carrying genes, and after the fall, it will have to honestly evolve slowly from a single-cell state. The database I checked shows that the monsters only evolved to the reptilian level before they were completely cleared by the U.S. military, and still use their teeth and claws as offensive weapons."

"It took less than three days to evolve from a single cell to a reptile?" Nicole was shocked: "It's already fast enough. If it takes another day or two at night, won't it be time to evolve into a humanoid intelligence?"

"I don't have time to go through more databases. And ...... in such a short period of time, I estimate that the U.S. military can conduct very limited research and won't have much information." Tian Lie shook his head, "We don't need to worry about these things for now, let's find the meteorite first. Go to Greendale Town!"

"Good." Nicole nodded, and had just shifted gears and was about to step on the gas pedal when she suddenly heard a series of loud explosions.

And the location of the explosions was just ahead, the Los Angeles Air Force building that Tian Lie had just left!
