Chapter 1132 Underground Vault
"Wait!" Just as the giant eye was about to leave, a strong arm suddenly landed on his shoulder, making him afraid to move at all.
Soon, Theodore's cheerful voice came from behind: "When you go to the Vault, call Red Skull and have him come with you. Also, this experiment must succeed. If we waste so much R21 and it still doesn't work, I'll be very unhappy! You know the consequences!"
"I promise, I guarantee I will succeed!" Hearing Theodore's threatening words, Giant Eyes' heart tightened. He exhaled, then turned around and made his promise again and again.
"Alright, I believe you won't let me down." After receiving the giant eye's affirmative assurance, Theodore nodded in satisfaction, and in a flash, he returned to his seat, ignoring the giant eye.
"Phew, finally safe. That Captain America is really terrifying..." After leaving Captain America's room, Giant Eyes took the elevator to the thirteenth floor of the Tower of Babel and finally let out a deep breath.
Since it hasn't been long since he absorbed Ant-Man's memories, the emotions from those memories still affect him, causing him to often feel a suffocating fear when he's in front of Captain America.
If Qin Zhong hadn't been by its side the whole time, giving it absolute confidence, it probably would have already given itself away.
“That’s right, even I can feel a considerable pressure from him.” As the giant eye finished speaking, Qin Zhong’s voice also rang out from the armor on the giant eye’s body.
Although Qin Zhong was in his metallic state, he could still sense the dangerous aura emanating from the captain of the M country. In addition, considering the speed at which the captain returned to his seat, Qin Zhong was certain that this guy was a very troublesome opponent.
"Alright, next we need to find the Red Skull and enter the secret vault together."
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Zhong asked again, "By the way, Giant Eyes, who is this Red Skull? I've never heard of him before."
"According to Ant-Man's memories, Red Skull seems to be a very low-profile evolved being."
As he walked forward, the giant eye spoke in a barely audible voice, "This Red Skull is somewhat like the leader of the US secret service. He's at least a level five evolver, extremely capable, ruthless, and very loyal to the US captain. Otherwise, the US captain wouldn't have him supervise me every time I enter the secret vault."
“Very strong? There might be trouble later…” Upon hearing the giant eye’s words, a thoughtful voice came from the metal armor that Qin Zhong had transformed into.
Since Captain M sent Red Skull and Giant Eyes into the secret vault together, he must find a way to take Red Skull down by surprise.
Moreover, they must not linger too long, otherwise, if they alert the others in District 51, he and Giant Eye will be in danger.
"Red Skull, are you there?"
Just as Qin Chong was deep in thought, Giant Eyes arrived at the door of Red Skull's room, knocked on the door, and said calmly, "The captain wants you to come with me to the secret vault to supervise me in retrieving R21. Are you free now?"
"Crench!"
With a soft click of a door opening, a gaunt man wearing a red skull mask appeared before the giant eye, glanced at him coldly, and said, "Let's go. I've already received the captain's orders."
……
"Okay, thank you for your help." Looking at the eerie skull mask on Red Skull's face, Giant Eyes narrowed his eyes, then nodded and walked out of the tower side by side with Red Skull.
Throughout the journey, Red Skull remained silent, simply following beside Giant Eyes, occasionally glancing at him with a cold gaze, seemingly lost in thought.
The secret vault of District 51 is very close to the Tower of Babel, in fact, it could be said to be right at the bottom of the Tower of Babel. However, to enter the secret vault, one must enter through the heavily guarded and heavily blocked entrance near the Tower of Babel.
This entrance passage is riddled with traps. If anyone breaks in, the passage will be locked shut, trapping the intruder inside. Meanwhile, the M Country captain will lead the elders of the council through the direct passage from his bedroom into the secret vault to eliminate the intruder.
The entrance passage to the secret vault is very long, leading downwards. Every ten meters or so, you can see a blockade line, which is composed of various mechanisms and traps.
At the heart of the blockade are massive, thick, and tough alloy gates. Once the mechanism is triggered, dozens of metal dragon-severing locks will all fall down.
With dozens of massive alloy gates blocking the way, even Captain M himself would find it difficult to escape for a short time.
After passing through dozens of identity verification checks, Giant Eye and Red Skull finally made their way through the ten-kilometer-long defensive passage and entered the secret vault.
When the alloy gate appeared before the giant eye and the red skull, both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the defensive facilities inside the passage are both dangerous and deadly. If they accidentally trigger the mechanisms, even with their skills, they would probably not be able to leave the passage unscathed.
The secret vault of District 51 is entirely made of ultra-hard alloy. This super vault, which cost the United States several years of military spending to build, has almost no other way to enter except through the main entrance or the direct passage from the United States Captain's room.
Therefore, even nuclear bombing could not threaten this metal vault buried deep underground.
Of course, the items stored in this secret vault, built at such a high cost, are priceless treasures.
This place not only contains all sorts of rare materials and supplies, but even deep in Ant-Man's memory, there are vague mentions of the treasures of other prehistoric civilizations being preserved in the center of the secret vault.
In addition, the meteorite essence collected by the M country government from various places makes this secret vault even more valuable than the combined value of many countries.
"Unlock it, Ant-Man!"
Standing before the heavy alloy gate, Red Skull coldly looked into the giant eye and said indifferently, "Remember, our iris, fingerprint, and DNA verification must be carried out simultaneously. If the time difference exceeds two seconds, the defense mechanism will be activated, and at that time, you and I will surely die."
"understood."
Standing on either side of the metal gate, opposite the Red Skull, the giant eye calmly replied, "I'll count to three, and we'll verify together. One, two, three!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Red Skull placed their right hands and eyes on the instruments on either side of the door.
"Buzz... Beep!"
With two soft sounds, a red light swept across their pupils in an instant. Then, their right hands, which were pressed against the instrument, felt a slight pain as the instrument drew their blood.
This is the last line of defense outside the secret vault. It can only be opened by the joint verification of at least two veteran figures.
If verification fails or is not conducted simultaneously, the vault's defenses will be activated immediately, swiftly annihilating any creatures remaining in the passage.
The M country government has always adhered to the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free." Therefore, even if they are their own people, they will not hesitate to sacrifice them to ensure the safety of the secret vault.
