Chapter 565 What is a Humanoid Self-Propelled Nuclear Warhead? (2-in-1, requesting monthly votes)

The president seemed reassured by those words, gave a satisfied "hmm," and leaned back in his chair.

The large screen in front of Li Wei lit up, and a gentle-looking woman appeared in front of him. She even spoke in standard Chinese, with a hint of Li Wei's local dialect.

This is a specially calculated image that best relaxes Livy's spirit.

"Mr. Li Wei," the woman in the video smiled, "before we officially begin, I'm quite curious about you personally. Can we chat for a bit?"

Li Wei leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said, "Don't you already have the information you have?"

Without the slightest hesitation, the woman maintained her gentle smile: "Stories heard from the person themselves are more credible."

"Mr. Li Wei," she paused, "when did you acquire these abilities?"

"From the moment I came to America."

Everyone was stunned by these words.

The president asked his chief of staff, "Was he groomed by another faction?"

"There is no intelligence to suggest this tendency, Your Excellency," the chief of staff shook his head, "His power should be entirely an accident."

"Ask him how he acquired these superpowers," the profiler said.

"How did you acquire these superpowers?"

"Personal privacy," Li Wei said lazily, "I don't want to disclose it."

"Mr. Levi," the woman advised, "it's better for both of us to be honest with each other."

"You call this being honest with each other?" Li Wei scoffed. "Why don't you dare talk to me face-to-face?"

"Because we are afraid," the woman said frankly. "We are afraid of your power. We humans are like ants in front of you."

"I'm human too," Levi yawned, "if this is the result you're trying to get by deliberately using 'we humans' to ask this question."

"The truth," the psychologist said.

"However, this is my privacy after all," Li Wei continued, "I should have the right not to disclose it, right?"

Inside the control room, the staff of the secret laboratory were staring at the data in front of them, sweat pouring down their faces.

"Strange," she muttered to herself, "This is so strange. Why can't our scanner detect his presence? Is there something wrong with him?"

Dozens of devices, worth over a hundred million US dollars, were set up outside Li Wei's room, specifically for the non-intrusive remote measurement of Li Wei's body data.

But what puzzled them was that no matter how high the machine's power was turned up, they still couldn't detect a single bit of Li Wei's physical data.

The room was empty in the machine's scan. "Let's change direction," the profiler said. "Let's play the emotional card. The target is smart; he clearly understands our intentions."

"Mr. Levi, we understand your concerns," the woman continued gently, "but have you considered that what's happening inside your body might come at a price?"

"There's a price to pay?" Li Wei raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. What kind of side effects does your superpower have now? Does anyone know? No," the woman said gently. "Including yourself. Are you so sure that your superpower won't harm your body? Maybe one day it will hurt you, maybe one day it will hurt the people around you."

"We can bring in the best medical teams and top scientists in the world," she said. "We just want to work with you and help you."

Li Wei scoffed after hearing this.

side effect?

With all four attributes maxed out, he understood his own power better than anyone else on this planet.

"No, he's very confident in his abilities," the profiler and the psychologist said simultaneously. "He must have been developing his abilities for a long time/he knows where his abilities come from."

"Cooperation?" Li Wei said sarcastically. "I haven't encountered a single living person yet, not even a glass of water for me, and now you want me to cooperate with you?"

"They call it a collaboration, but they just want to study me," he said, glancing at the camera in the corner. "Too bad, I have no interest in being a guinea pig."

The control room and the online conference room were quiet.

As the Minister of Defense looked at Li Wei's smiling face in front of the camera, a sudden sense of foreboding swept over him, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

He coughed twice, stood up, and straightened his tie.

"I'm going out to make a phone call," he told his chief of staff. "There's something going on at the Pentagon."

"I also need to go out and make a phone call," the chief of staff said. "There's something going on at the White House too."

"Want to go together?"

"Together, together."

"What should we do about the meeting?"

"Just connect it online, why worry about so much?"

After they went outside, the two men gradually quickened their pace, and the adjutant behind them had to jog to keep up.

"Prepare the car, let's head back to Washington."

Li Wei stood up and patted his pajamas: "Alright."

He glanced around at his surroundings and said, "Since we can't seem to connect, I'll be leaving."

The woman in the video froze for a moment and quickly pressed her earpiece.

"Excuse me, Mr. Levi, could you wait a little longer?" she asked softly. "Our conversation isn't over yet."

A dull thud came from outside the door in the distance, sounding like something very heavy had closed.

Li Wei sighed: "Why do you all like to interfere in other people's affairs so much? Have you really gotten used to being the world's superpower and want to control everything?"

He turned his head and glanced around: "Also, these machines are so noisy."

The next second, Li Wei's pupils turned red, and two thin red lines shot out from his eyes, silently sweeping across the walls of the room.

One surveillance video feed turned into static.

"Scanners, all of them, all offline!"

Far away, a staff member screamed, "What...what did he do?!"

"He cut through all the external equipment!" a high-ranking official said during the online meeting. "What kind of new ability is this? Laser eyes?"

"Flight, telekinesis, and now laser eyes," the profiler swallowed hard. "Now he has a new ability."

Meanwhile, the Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff had already left Lei Wenyan's car and joined the meeting online.

Upon seeing this, they all wiped away their sweat.

Luckily, I ran fast.

Li Wei looked up at the camera in the corner: "Let the president come out and speak to me in person."

All eyes were drawn to the president's window.

The president suddenly looked out of Levi's window and said, "What movie set is this? It looks so realistic!"

o

The president has made a mistake again.

The woman in the video paused for two seconds, then forced a smile: "Excuse me, Mr. Levi, the president has important business to attend to right now..."

Li Wei chuckled and looked up.

"What's he trying to do?" someone in the video conference asked suddenly, noticing Li Wei staring at the ceiling. "What's he looking at?"

"He's looking at the ceiling," another person said. "Does that mean he's planning to just force his way out?"

"No way?" The profiler was taken aback. "This is Lei Wenyan, the underground base for defending the nuclear factory."

The next second, Li Wei slightly bent his knees and rose into the air.

"boom!!!!"

The surveillance footage shook violently, and the ceiling, as if made of paper, was smashed open with a large hole.

Gravel and broken steel bars rained down like a storm, and then the screen went completely black.

Everyone present felt as if they were in the midst of an earthquake, and everyone instinctively grabbed onto the table.

A series of muffled thuds came from beneath their feet, one after another, as if someone had detonated nuclear bombs deep within the mountain.

One after another, each one with a greater equivalent than the last.

The overhead lights frantically darted around, screamed, and emitted flickering light, accompanied by the wailing of alarms that echoed throughout the entire base.

"200 meters, 150 meters..." The lab worker's voice trembled. "He's charging upwards!"

"Impossible!" the commander of Raven Rock exclaimed instinctively. "This is a rock layer hundreds of meters deep. Even a bunker buster couldn't penetrate it." Before he could finish speaking, the entire Raven Rock trembled.

On the mountaintop, the sentries on duty felt their legs trembling involuntarily. Then they realized that the entire earth was shaking.

Suddenly, a rock on the mountaintop seemed to explode, shooting straight into the sky. Gravel, soil, and snow mixed together sprayed dozens of meters into the air before angrily crashing down.

Even a small earthquake was detected on a seismic station hundreds of kilometers away in the Leiwenyan area.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a figure rose into the night sky. He was wearing pajamas and quietly stared at the still-smoking hole.

"Strange, monster."

The people in the online meeting stared at the video feed from the other end, speechless for a long time, as if they had witnessed a nuclear bomb exploding right before their eyes, and slumped into their chairs.

This is a bedrock layer hundreds of meters deep; this is the underground Pentagon, the most robust facility capable of withstanding a nuclear blast head-on.

"13 seconds, he broke through the rock strata of Leiwenyan in just 13 seconds..." a staff member said.

In the online meeting room, not a single person spoke in any of the more than fifty windows.

A deafening roar, like a muffled thunderclap, came from behind the Saabban not far away. The Minister of Defense and the Chief of Staff turned around simultaneously, then turned back again, and said in unison, "Faster!"

Inside the White House, the president looked at the screen and asked in confusion, "What am I looking at?"

The cold wind on the mountaintop swirled with dust, making Li Wei's pajamas flutter loudly.

He glanced southeast; Washington was just over 100 kilometers away.

Since the president is avoiding him, he will go see the president.

If the mountain won't come to see me, I'll go to see the mountain myself.

In the online conference room, the Attorney General stared at the figure in mid-air, his face ashen.

This monster is practically a humanoid walking nuclear warhead.

There is no means in America that can restrain him.

unless..

He muted his microphone, picked up another phone on the table, and commanded directly, "Execute the order."

In the darkness outside the manor on Long Island, the hostage rescue team commander pressed his earpiece and whispered, "Move."

Dozens of dark figures approached the manor from its perimeter at the same time, silently making their way towards it.

The manor's bodyguards were no pushovers either; more than half of them were from Russia's elite forces, including Vympel and GRU, and they quickly discovered the FBI's presence.

When one of them saw dozens of dark figures approaching, he fired a warning shot without hesitation.

The restaurant lights were still on. Anya sat on the sofa, holding Li Wei's phone, and muttered, "Where did he go? Why is there no signal at all?"

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out outside the manor, startling her.

At the summit of Leiwen Rock, Li Wei's brows furrowed suddenly.

Ever since Anya was attacked, Li Wei hasn't closed the [Sanctuary Beacon] page. He immediately noticed that both Anya and Kim Hae-eun's spirits plummeted.

In the online meeting room, more than 50 pairs of eyes were fixed on Li Wei, and then everyone suddenly froze.

Li Wei's figure in the night sky suddenly vanished as if erased by an eraser.

There was no wind or light; it simply vanished.

There was nothing there.

Where are they?!

The whole world overlapped before Li Wei, and with one step, he stood in his own living room.

Anya was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and hugged Li Wei.

"What happened?" Li Wei put one arm around Anya and Kim Ha-eun, who was rushing downstairs. "What happened?"

"I...I heard gunshots," Kim Ha-eun said. "Right outside."

"I heard what happened outside," Li Wei nodded. "Let me go first," he said.

Kim Ha-eun and Anya let go, and Lee Wei quickly walked to the door, opened it, and went out.

When the target, who was still in Lei Wenyan according to the intelligence, suddenly pushed open the door and walked out, all the members of the FBI hostage rescue team were stunned.

Li Wei glanced at them, and with a thought, the [Hand of Thought] instantly covered the entire area.

Dozens of people, along with the guns in their hands, were sent flying into the air, nearly 20 meters high.

They thrashed about desperately, but to no avail.

The next second, they were all thrown from a height of nearly seven stories, crashing to the ground in unison. The sounds of bones breaking and cracking filled the air. Some people fainted without a sound, while others clutched their legs and wailed in pain.

"Disarm them, pack up, and then call the hospital," Li Wei instructed before turning and going into the house.

"Why are there so many people outside?" Anya and Katya also came to the door and saw what was happening.

"It's alright," Li Wei shook his head, "I'm sorry to have startled you."

"I'm fine," Anya said immediately. "You're here to protect me."

"Looks like I'm going to have to make things a little painful for the Pentagon," Levi said, looking towards the Pacific Ocean. "Otherwise, they really won't know how to talk to me."
