Chapter 554: Body of Steel
Chen Ke could see a group of people on the upper floors moving quickly, but they did not go downstairs, but quickly went to a hidden floor, which might be some kind of safe house.
He looked at Parker, then at the two girls, hugged his chest and said: "I plan to ask that Lady Madeline to see if she knows where the green holy diamond is."
"What if she doesn't know?" Diana asked.
"Do you believe she doesn't know?" Chen Ke asked back.
Diana didn't speak, and she didn't know what the current situation of the Administration was.
"I will act by myself next, you guys evacuate first." Chen Ke said, opening a burnt black door behind him, inside was Diana's room in the Dream Center.
"They are both seriously injured, but I can still help." Parker said.
"No, you go in with them, and I will come to you when the time comes, very quickly." Chen Ke promised.
"Then you'd better hurry up and leave before they make more advanced countermeasures." Diana said.
"That depends on how well Ms. Madeline cooperates." Chen Ke said.
Parker nodded, not knowing whether he should hug Diana, but Lucina picked her up.
"Chen Ke, don't make me wait too long." Lucina said to Chen Ke.
Chen Ke smiled, patted Lucina on the back, and urged her to go in quickly.
When they passed by Chen Ke, Diana grabbed Chen Ke's right arm, stretched her neck and told him: "Chen Ke, don't kill her if it's not necessary."
"I'm not a murderer." Chen Ke nodded.
The three walked into the door and looked back at him. Chen Ke closed the door and went up along the fire escape.
"Mrs. M, this is everyone."
In the safe house, agents in black suits were on guard at the door of the room. More than 20 management staff and Madeline stayed in the middle of the room, setting up a simple working environment.
An agent was reporting to Madeline. At present, there were only four psychic agents in the entire safe house who could serve as combat power, and the others were just ordinary staff.
"Very good, can I see the situation on each floor through the monitor?" Madeline asked.
"The monitor is still working, but the 12th floor was burned by an unknown fire." The agent replied.
"Can anyone show me the real-time monitoring?" Madeline looked at the others.
The agent holding the notebook walked up to Madeline, and Madeline immediately pulled the stool next to her and put the notebook on it. She saw a man running up the fire escape in the night vision monitoring screen on the screen.
"This is the monitor in the fire escape... He is going up from the 12th floor. At this speed, he will soon reach our floor." The agent said.
"Where are the other three people?" Madeline asked.
"I don't know, I didn't see them." The agent replied.
Others also gathered around to watch, and someone whispered: "It looks like... just an ordinary person."
"Ordinary people can't kill a whole team of R6, let alone come to rob the Administration." Madeline said.
"What does he want?" asked an employee.
At this time, the door of the safe house was knocked hard.
"How did he find this place?" someone exclaimed.
"Maybe he has psychic vision." Madeline said as she stepped back. Several agents took out the psychic version of the MP7 and quickly gathered at the door.
This safe house is located between two floors, a hidden floor, and the outside door is a wall, but it is not difficult for Chen Ke to find them.
The door was hit by some blunt object, and dust fell from the ceiling.
"I thought this place could delay more time..." Madeline looked at the gun-wielding agent and said, obviously she was very dissatisfied with the solidity of this safe house.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. M... The Administration's construction budget is limited, and Congress has not approved us to build a presidential-level shelter." The agent said helplessly.
Outside the wall, Chen Ke held a sledgehammer and kept knocking at a white wall. He first controlled the wall with time pause, and then knocked tirelessly. After knocking more than 20 times, he lifted the time pause. At this time, the force of more than 20 times will gather into a force and hit the wall at once.
After several times of repeating the same method, the wall soon couldn't withstand the impact and cracked, and the cracks would break into holes, eventually revealing the outline of the door below.
Chen Ke held the psychic crystal gun in his right hand, walked away, and then threw it at the door. The blue energy exploded and blew the door into the room.
The people in the room covered their ears and lay on the ground. The four armed agents shot at the door without saying anything.
The bullets hit Chen Ke's black armor with a ping-pong sound. He took back the hammer and threw a time bomb at them, which immediately stopped them.
Chen Ke walked past them and looked around. Everyone in the room was afraid and squeezed towards the back half of the room. After making sure that there was no more threat in the room, Chen Ke called back the black armor.
"Who is Madeline?" Chen Ke asked.
A middle-aged white woman slowly walked out of the crowd and looked at Chen Ke vigilantly.
"Are you Madeline? The director of the Opportunity City Administration?" Chen Ke asked.
"It's me. What do you want?" Madeline said.
"I want the holy diamond." Chen Ke said.
"Haven't you been to the archives?" Madeline said.
"The holy diamond I want is green." Chen Ke said.
"There is no holy diamond of that color," said Madeline.
"We don't need to beat around the bush, Madeline. The holy diamond doesn't belong to the Administration." Chen Ke said.
"Are you Chen Ke?" Madeline asked.
"Yes." Chen Ke nodded.
"You ruined Diana." Madeline said.
"I saved her." Chen Ke said.
"You turned her into a monster, Chen Ke, she deserves a better choice..." Madeline said.
"I gave her power, and she doesn't need to drain the water every 7 days. Just like the Foundation said, your use of psychic energy is too primitive." Chen Ke said.
When the others heard that there was no need to drain the water, they all looked at Chen Ke curiously.
"No matter what you have done for them, you robbed the Administration, and the agreement will be invalid, and you can't run away." Madeline said.
"I made a choice, and I will bear the consequences, Madeline, don't think I don't know the situation of the Administration. What kind of people are there in the Administration? Asra, the Foundation, what else will there be? You know it very well." Chen Ke smiled.
Madeline was speechless for a moment and clenched her teeth.
"I'll give you two choices. Give me the green diamond, and then I'll leave. You can be the hero who saves today." Chen Ke said.
"What's the other choice?" Madeline said angrily.
"If you insist on not giving me the green diamond, I'll kill everyone except you, and then you'll be ruined for the rest of your life. When you're old, I'll find your family and burn them all to death." Chen Ke said.
Madeline swallowed her saliva, her legs trembling with anger, she covered her chest and gasped, her face turned purple.
"This choice is not difficult, make a decision quickly." Chen Ke said as he took the grenade launcher out of the dimensional space, opened the barrel, and poured out the blood inside.
The room was very quiet, no one spoke, and everyone looked at Madeline. They definitely didn't know about the green diamond, but they definitely knew that their lives were in Madeline's hands.
"Well... I don't usually like to wait for people." Chen Ke checked the grenade launcher, snapped the barrel back, and held it at his waist, facing the crowd.
"Wait a minute...wait a minute...how do you know so sure that I have the green diamond? What if I don't?" Madeline said.
"White handed the thing over to the Administration, you are unlikely to change hands so quickly, of course...if you really change hands, then you will all die here today..." Chen Ke moved his shoulders and neck.
"You...you killed White..." Madeline was stunned.
"Yes, he has some skills, but not enough." Chen Ke said.
Madeline's breathing became a little rapid, she closed her eyes, as if making a difficult decision, a few seconds later, she took out the green diamond from her pocket and handed it to Chen Ke.
"Here, here, this is what you want, right?" Madeline said.
Chen Ke looked at the green diamond in Madeline's hand, and no information popped up in his vision. Before this, when he first robbed this thing from the bank, it was the same.
"You won't cheat me with a fake one, right?" Chen Ke asked.
"I thought you knew what you were talking about. This thing doesn't have any entries. It doesn't mean anything to you. Why do you want it?" Madeline asked.
"Then why do you want it? Don't ask boring questions. Throw it over here." Chen Ke said.
Madeline carefully threw the green diamond to Chen Ke. The green diamond drew an arc in the air. Chen Ke caught it with his left hand and put it into his dimensional pocket.
"I hope you don't break your promise." Madeline said.
"I promised Diana." Chen Ke put away the grenade launcher and turned away.
"Wait a minute! Chen Ke... Where is Diana?" Madeline asked.
"She's fine." Chen Ke replied.
He left the safe house and opened the door of an office, ready to go back to the Dream Center. Lucina and Diana were sitting at the table to rest. Seeing Chen Ke open the door, they were waving and greeting.
At this time, Chen Ke heard something passing by outside the building, making a sound similar to the howling of the wind. After just two seconds, the ceiling suddenly broke, and a human-shaped thing fell to a place twenty steps away from Chen Ke.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a man appeared in front of Chen Ke. His eyes flashed red light, and two heat lines swept towards Chen Ke along the floor, leaving deep gullies wherever they passed.
Before Chen Ke entered the door, he slammed the door shut and turned to the side. The two heat lines burned the door to pieces.
The next second, Chen Ke just turned around, and the man came up to him like teleporting, punched Chen Ke in the face, and the huge impact force knocked him out all of a sudden, breaking through the wall and flying out of the building.
Chen Ke recovered from the injury on his face in mid-air and put on black armor. He groaned, and saw the vast sky and dazzling sunlight. The man flew out and punched Chen Ke again, knocking him further away.
Chen Ke felt like a badminton ball, being hit by the racket again and again. He was hit again and again, and finally fell to the street due to inertia. He rolled more than ten times before getting up.
Chen Ke looked up and saw a muscular man wearing a black rubber tights floating in the air, with a silver S printed on his chest.
There is no doubt that this guy is Superman...
