Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 483 - 87: Infiltrating the Evolution Zone and Bursting into the Evolution Zone_2
In the warehouse filled with shelves, Stuart found it difficult to locate the positions of fifteen people and take them down.
During this time, these fifteen people would employ all kinds of methods, even the use of weapons was allowed.
Could Akasi really move faster than a bullet? Stuart was somewhat skeptical.
Tang Suoye and Yuan Wu did not take part in the battle; both teenagers stood beside Stuart, looking like Harry Potter and Hermione Granger standing next to Giant Hagrid.
The three of them stood on the outskirts, watching Akasi in the center of the venue.
"Aren't you two going to help?" Stuart asked.
Yuan Wu was somewhat nervous, as if suffering from social anxiety.
On the contrary, Tang Suoye made hand gestures to reply.
——That would be too bullying for you all.
As a CIA agent skilled in body language, Stuart laughed and said,
"Arrogant Huaxia people, this test is serious, if you cannot pass, you will not be allowed to go to the Evolution Zone. The Evolution Zone will stop you, and so will we."
However, after a pause, Stuart added,
"I hope you are different from the others before you, that you truly have the capital to be arrogant."
Tang Suoye did not say anything. This level of combat was just a fish pond setup for him.
The team had already been arranged and was waiting for the person responsible for escorting them from the CIA.
Stuart was just an intelligence scout; those who could really keep this proposal going were the higher-ups in the CIA.
During the wait, Tang Suoye could feel that Stuart was somewhat nervous.
——Why are you more flustered than us?
Tang Suoye communicated this through sign language. Although she was not flustered at all.
Stuart said,
"Many friends of mine encountered misfortune after going to the Evolution Zone. You are not from this fortress and do not know what happens here. They take away a large number of citizens for experimentation right under our noses. I have a grudge against them!"
Tang Suoye did not ask what the grudge was, and Stuart did not elaborate.
"I hope you truly have divine powers to help us take down that place."
——We will. Akasi is very powerful, and he is too.
Tang Suoye said, pointing at Yuan Wu.
The two Telekinetic players actually didn't interact much on regular days, and Yuan Wu naturally longed to make friends.
But he was unable to express his affection for friends.
So all he had was bashfulness and guilt.
That made him seem very strange, and during his time in Baichuan City, it was only Tang Suoye, Tang Xiaojiu, and a few other child competitors like Ling Yi who got along with Yuan Wu.
Getting along meant simply not being repelled.
Seeing Tang Suoye pointing at him, Yuan Wu grew nervous again.
"That doesn't seem like it, but you all give me a powerful feeling too, I hope you are indeed very strong."
The three continued to wait, and before long, the CIA's senior official Jonathan arrived.
He had little to say; skepticism about the proposal made Jonathan doubt whether this operation would again waste human and material resources.
Jonathan looked at the slender Akasi; in the mining area, he was also a person of high talent, and Jonathan thought Akasi seemed to lack training.
Despite the exaggerated rumors about Akasi, Jonathan, a believer in muscle, was not optimistic about him.
But what happened next was rather exaggerated—
After Jonathan gave the command, while the echo was still reverberating in the warehouse, shots rang out, but Akasi had already vanished on the spot.
Jonathan and Stuart didn't even get a clear view of what happened, they only felt a wind rise from the flat ground, a strong breeze sweeping over them.
A blurry afterimage streaked by.
The fight had already ended, Akasi, with a gentle smile, greeted Jonathan and Stuart.
Stuart hurriedly propped up his corpulent body to check on the test subjects.
Behind some of the shelves, he found the test personnel, all unconscious.
Without exception, all were defeated by a single strike.
Stuart opened his mouth in astonishment.
"Let's not waste any more time. This test itself is rather meaningless"
Jonathan, looking at Stuart in the distance, nodded in affirmation, confirming the process of the battle.
He too was surprised at how incredibly fast Akasi was.
For the first time, the senior CIA official was excited:
"You might really be our hope. But don't those two kids need to be tested?"
"If we did that, your people might end up in life-threatening danger. Both of them are stronger than me."
Jonathan couldn't believe it and had difficulty imagining what kind of monsters these three were.
Akasi saw his surprise and said,

"We are essentially not much different from the monsters above. So what you need to do now is to send us up there, the sooner the better."
Jonathan said no more.
He quickly began to make arrangements.
After instructing a series of tasks, he took Akasi and others to an office building of the CIA on the fourth floor.
They prepared experimental suits for Akasi and his team inside the building.
"These are the uniforms of internal staff in the Evolution Zone, they can't open access doors. But it will help you avoid some guards.
Also, please be sure to infiltrate around three in the morning. That's when their guard is at its thinnest.
We don't know the specifics inside, and we're unclear about where some classified documents are hidden.
This is a stealth mission, before four o'clock, if you have not found any documents, please decisively withdraw! We will arrange for someone to meet you at the level entrance."
Akasi, in his experimental suit, was instantly reminded of some unpleasant past memories.
He nodded and said:
"We will be careful."
Jonathan didn't know if they would ever come across agents with such exceptional skills again if this infiltration into the Evolution Zone failed.
So he also hoped that Akasi would survive.
After everything was properly arranged, Jonathan personally led the team, along with Akasi, Yuan Wu, and Tang Suoye, to the fifth floor.
The entrance to the fifth floor level was even more heavily guarded.
Fortunately, Jonathan's position was high enough. They didn't go through much scrutiny to reach the fifth floor.
The fifth floor of Lincoln Fortress was home to various large-scale weapon processing plants.
Huaxia's fifty-first fortress excels at producing bladed weapons.
Sky Guardian Fortress is good at making armor.
Lincoln Fortress specializes in long-range weapons. They have the most powerful firearms available.
Akasi had been to the fifty-first fortress once and felt that the fifth floor of Lincoln Fortress was very similar to the fifth floor of the fifty-first fortress.
The entire level seemed to be dedicated to weapon research.
In the northernmost area of this level, a large area was off-limits, housing only one organization.
The Evolution Zone.
Taking up one-sixth of the entire level's area, the Evolution Zone had become a colossal entity on this floor.
The built-in maze was very complex, but even on the outskirts, without a map, it was easy to get lost.
The map provided by the CIA wasn't even complete; it was just a part of the Evolution Zone's map.
If their exploration at night reached unknown areas, Akasi and the others had to explore on their own.
...
...
The fourth floor of Lincoln Fortress.
Tang Xian walked along the streets of the Seaside District, looking up at the fourth floor's ceiling.
There were many ways to investigate the location of the Evolution Zone.
Tang Xian's choice was through scent.
"What are you doing, is there something up there?"
"I am sensing smells."
Tang Feiji knew Tang Xian had an exceptional sense of smell, stronger even than when he would transform into a dragon, and said curiously:
"Although the spaces between levels in the Pyramid are short, just a couple of hundred meters, even I can't smell anything. Your sense of smell is just a tad stronger than mine, can you actually smell anything?"
Tang Xian said:
"Couldn't smell it before, that's why I ate to fullness just now."
Tang Feiji didn't understand what eating to fullness meant.
Tang Xian hadn't told anyone about the skills he had acquired.
He never expected his nose to detect smells from above the levels of the Pyramid.
That indeed was impossible before.
But, to test the ability of the Taotie, the higher his satiety, the better his body's overall performance became.
Tang Xian wanted to see just how much it could improve.
The answer surprised Tang Xian; he seemed to truly perceive some scents, faint but undeniably present.
Tang Feiji found it boring after a while and continued to twist his Rubik's cube, following behind Tang Xian.
It wasn't until much later that Tang Xian suddenly stopped and asked an odd question:
"Tang Feiji, do you think you could smash the ceiling of the Pyramid?"
