Chapter 1678 Heart of the War Drum (2/4)

The fluorescent alarm clock shows that it is 4:00 in the morning. It should be the time to lie in bed and sleep comfortably, but the conference table of Watt Alheim, 120 meters deep in Kassel College, is full of people. People are moving under the incandescent light, and heavy and closed breathing sounds come and go.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and the air treated by the ionized air purifier was exchanged with the fresh air pouring in from outside. The old man sitting at the deepest part of the conference table sighed, and all the eyes on the other tables were focused on the person who walked in. Their eyes were like torches, and their breathing became heavier and more rapid, as if they were looking at some precious giant panda.

Lin Nian stopped at the door of the conference room. Looking at the "freaks" sitting in the room, he almost thought he was in the wrong place. He was ordered to come to the executive department and was notified to go to Watt Alheim, which was almost at the same depth as the ice cellar, for a meeting. But now he seemed to have mistakenly entered a bacterial laboratory. All the people present were scientific madmen wearing complete and fully enclosed biochemical protective suits.

Oh, there was one person who was not, that was Angers sitting at the bottom of the conference table.

This old gentleman was still dressed in a suit and tie today, his hair was combed meticulously, and he was still filled with the smell of specially blended cologne. He should have appeared at the cocktail party with the little girls who wanted to have a sunset love affair and chatted and laughed happily, but now he didn't know why he was sitting among these scientific madmen as an "experimental subject".

"I think I may have walked into the wrong room." Lin Nian said so, but he still walked in and closed the door behind him.

This was not the first time he had dealt with the Equipment Department, or rather, he had been dealing with the Equipment Department since the first day he entered Kassel College. Do you remember the exploding treadmill? During that time, he had received a lot of care from the Equipment Department, and he had also firmly established the idea that anyone who had anything to do with this department was a freak.

Since they were freaks, then any actions of freaks were normal, including one or two dressed like crazy scientists in a bacteriological laboratory sitting in the conference room. If I don't go to hell, who will? Besides, it's not just him who is in hell. Principal Angers doesn't know how long he has been tortured in this hell.

"Lin Nian? Come in and find a seat." Angers nodded slightly when he saw Lin Nian, but Lin Nian clearly saw a "relieved" look on his face, and a sense of relief that he finally saw a normal person of the same kind.

It's worthy of being the Equipment Department! It can actually force the principal into such a desperate situation.

It was the first time that Lin Nian saw Angers’ face showing embarrassment, but he could understand that anyone who was in the same room with the group of geniuses in the equipment department would have to show this expression. Ordinary people, he would have to look embarrassed when he was in a mental hospital!

Angers said that Lin Nian could sit anywhere, but there was actually only one seat left at the conference table, which was the one closest to the door, at the other end of the conference table.

After pulling out the chair and sitting down, Lin Nian glanced at the people at the conference table. His eyes under the butterfly black beauty contact lenses could clearly see the faces under the gas masks.

They were all old acquaintances. He had seen almost all of these geniuses in the equipment department over the years. These guys had tossed a lot of "new things" on him. Even though he was getting stronger, these geniuses could always make him leave in disgrace - the beasts who proposed to use a glucose drip bottle to inject veterinary anesthetics into his veins to test drug resistance were these beasts.

"Deputy Director Karl, Director Akadura, good evening. I really didn't expect to see both of you at the same conference table."

Lin Nian recognized the two people sitting on the left and right sides of Ange, the first and second in command of the Equipment Department, two people with heinous crimes. If the Japanese wanted to hang Oppenheimer, who invented the atomic bomb, then the enemies of the secret party wanted to grind these two to ashes. The various cutting-edge thermal weapons active on the battlefield in the hands of the Executive Department Commissioners were basically invented by these two people. They are the backbone of the secret party.

Deputy Director Karl and Director Akadura both nodded to Lin Nian cordially. Among the students, Lin Nian was probably the only one who could talk to them, but Lin Nian extremely suspected that the reason they were willing to pay attention to him was entirely because in their eyes, the two sides were in a relationship of guinea pigs and researchers.

Now Lin Nian scanned the group of people at the conference table again, and found that almost all the scientific lunatics who had a say in the entire Equipment Department and whose merits and qualifications were among the best were sitting here. This reminded him of the group photo of the participants of the Fifth Solvay Conference in 1927. That photo is known as the most famous group photo in the scientific community. If someone could hide in the grove next to it and set up a machine gun to shoot at the group of people when the photo was taken, then the entire human scientific civilization would directly regress hundreds of years.

Similarly, if someone could drop a sulfur bomb in this conference room, the secret party would also suffer a heavy blow - I believe the Minister of the Executive Department would be happy to take on this job and would generously fund the upgrade of the sulfur bomb into a cluster bomb, using the things developed by the Equipment Department to kill the beasts in the Equipment Department.

Back to the point, such a group of people with flowers on their shoulders were called to the same conference room, which was enough to show the seriousness of the situation.

Before coming to the Equipment Department, Lin Nian and Lu Mingfei both received text messages from Norma at the same time, saying that the Japanese branch was in urgent need and they needed to report to the Executive Department immediately.

Since he didn’t know how urgent the situation was and what the specific situation of the so-called emergency in the Japanese branch was, Lin Nian could only follow the text message notification and rush to the execution department as quickly as possible to open the time Zero stepped on the accelerator of the Porsche and drove all the way back to school.

When Lu Mingfei and Lin Nian ran to the Executive Department, Minister Schneider was waiting for them. Lu Mingfei was invited to wait inside the Executive Department, but Lin Nian passed the internal elevator of the ice cellar under Schneider's instruction and went there. Watt Alheim and informed him that the principal was waiting for him.

According to the urgent message Lin Nian received from Norma, he asked a natural question, "Is this department finally starting to attack the Japanese branch? What is our next step, starting with seabed blasting? Let the seabed slide and sink the entire Japanese continental shelf?”

As soon as Lin Nian said these half-joking words, he suddenly noticed that the face under the mask of Director Akadulla looked at him with a satisfied and gratified expression. This made him a little dazed, as if he had said something wrong. Words - as long as these crazy people agree, it must be a bad idea.

"A student is better than a master!" Director Akadura looked at Lin Nian and said with emotion, then turned to look at Angers, "Look, even your students agree with our plan."

"Stop." Lin Nian immediately raised his hand and said, "I take back what I just said. It was just a joke. It was used to entertain everyone. I have never thought about bombing and sinking the four islands of Japan, even if I am a rootless person. As a red Chinese, I feel that national hatred does not need to be focused on the issue of destroying the world. I have no knowledge of or approval of any plans and actions of the Armament Department."

Withdraw the statement, declare a peaceful stance, and cut ties, all in one go.

Lin Nian admitted that he was sweating a little. He really rarely felt ashamed now, but facing the lunatics who were about to blow up a country at every turn, he felt that he still looked a little immature and young.

"I came here because I received a text message from Norma late at night, informing me that 'the Japanese branch is in emergency.' First of all, I want to make it clear, and also to clarify one issue, that is, the so-called Japanese branch is in emergency. The department is in some kind of trouble and is unable to extricate itself, or is the trouble in the Japanese branch caused by us, and now that the situation is good, we are finally preparing to mobilize our troops to take down the Japanese branch?" Lin Nian raised his own question.

I received the words "Japan branch is urgent" in the text message. In fact, there are many explanations. Considering the subtle relationship between the secret party and the Japanese branch, and the fact that Lin Nian received a message from the school board of directors when he went to Japan for the first time. With such secret action instructions from the secret party's decision-makers, it was difficult for him not to think about the so-called crisis in another way - the crisis in the Japanese branch was probably not caused by the secret party itself.

"The eight Sheqi families of the Japanese branch recently launched a formal request for help from the headquarters. This is also the first time in decades that the headquarters has received a request for help from the Japanese branch. According to the past situation, the Japanese branch has always been in an "autonomy" " state, the headquarters rarely intervenes in its internal affairs and various local conflicts. But this time, it was Kaguya who took the initiative to send the signal, directly contacting Norma through the encrypted network with the academy, and The message conveyed is only a few simple words," Angers said slowly at the end of the conference table.

"The Japanese branch is in danger."

Lin Nian looked at Ange attentively, "Has a dragon king been resurrected in Japan?"

He immediately thought of the hybrid's biggest enemy, and the trouble that could cause the most devastating blow to the Japanese branch. It must be the Dragon King-level monarch.

The overall strength of the Eight Sheqi Families is not weaker than that of the headquarters. It is even said that their local dominance and the overall strength of the armaments they can mobilize are even greater than that of the Secret Party. How can a force of this size proactively ask for help from the headquarters? It was hard for Lin Nian to imagine that the stern old man like the warrior figurines of the eight Sheqi families would bow his head to the headquarters and ask for help.

"It is true that dragons will be resurrected in Japan. The resurrection of dragons will always be the biggest trouble we will encounter." Angers nodded lightly.

"Will?" Lin Nian noticed Angers' use of tense.

Angers looked at Deputy Director Karl standing aside. Deputy Director Karl immediately stood up and said, "Let's listen to an audio clip first."

The sound of the sea breeze swept through the conference room. For a moment, Lin Nian thought of the sea in the Maldives. The strong wind kissed the waves and continuously piled up white flowers. It seemed that an endless black sea appeared in front of him.

"Listen carefully, this is the audio recorded by the Monyach in the waters of Japan." Deputy Director Karl said. Angers on the side crossed his arms and stared at Lin Nian, wanting to see his reaction. It was obvious that this audio had been played before Passed once.

Lin Nian suddenly frowned, because he heard a deep voice under the sea breeze, dong dong, dong dong, that was the heartbeat, a strong and penetrating heartbeat, and the sound of the sea wind and waves could not cover it up. Like the sound of war drums in the wasteland, the whole world rises and falls to its rhythm.

"The heartbeat is very deep, hidden deep in the seabed." Lin Nian said slowly.

"This is the heartbeat of a dragon. It is hidden deep in the Japan Trench." Angers nodded and said, "Before you came, Deputy Director Carl and I had discussed this matter in detail. It is hidden in the depths of the Japan Trench." Deep in the trenches of Japan, this is not the heart of an adult dragon, but an embryo of a dragon, in a state of incubation. It cannot be determined how many generations it is. It may be the first generation, the second generation, or it may be a high-risk target at the level of an ancient dragon. "
