In the final stages, Bi Xiao constructed three layers of mental defenses for his mind.
These mental defenses were specifically designed to protect his inner world from invasion.
Regardless of the situation, he must ensure that his mind is always secure, just in case.
At the very least, even if faced by a future master of the mind, he would not suffer an invasion of his mental defenses.
The only downside was that Bi Xiao felt that three layers of mental defenses were not sufficient. Although his mental power was strong, this was already the limit of what he could achieve. Perhaps in the future, with further strengthening and growth in his mental power, he could construct even more robust and numerous defenses.
This made Bi Xiao feel that he had finally addressed a critical weakness.
His next actions were not aimed at vampires and werewolves but at William Stryker, whom he initially considered a threat.
One goal was to eliminate this monster, satisfying himself on a psychological level while trying to create the weapon he desired using adamantium, and perhaps even extracting some money from him.
After all, his assets were somewhat insufficient for renting or purchasing homes across the various districts of New York.
Now, the biggest issue was to locate William Stryker's base.
It must be said, since his mental enhancement, he could recall memories once forgotten in the corners of his mind, and coincidentally, he also found the exact address of Stryker's base.
Located at Lake Alkali in Alberta, Canada.
Even if he didn't know the location, finding it wouldn't have been too difficult, just time-consuming.
Doesn't this show the pathway of mental power?
Fortunately, he had permanent residency and did not need a visa to travel to Canada, so he went to New York airport to buy a ticket to Canada.
There happened to be a flight to Alberta, Canada, in an hour.
After waiting for an hour, he boarded the plane.
No dramatic hijacking incidents occurred on the flight; even if there had been, he would have suppressed them with his mental power, as he preferred not to have any troubles during his journey.
Six hours later, the plane arrived in Alberta. Lake Alkali, surrounded by mountains and water, provided excellent cover for the base.
After disembarking, he went to a car rental company. In Alberta, especially in this era, car rental companies didn't care if you had a driving license; as long as you had a sufficient deposit, they would even rent to a ten-year-old.
He rented a Ford SUV and bought a map, then headed for Lake Alkali.
Driving along the road, the scenery of the trees on both sides of the road to Lake Alkali became increasingly beautiful, with almost no one else around. As time passed, it was nearing evening.
Upon reaching the road by Lake Alkali, Bi Xiao stopped the car and got out.
He came to the edge of the road, which was akin to a cliff, below which was a river, and upstream stood a huge dam.
With his sharp vision, Bi Xiao looked toward the dam; his enhanced senses allowed him to detect the dense atmosphere inside the dam from thousands of meters away.
Clearly, he had found the right place; William Stryker's base was established inside the dam.
To enter, one could only pass through the dam's spillway, which was full of surveillance cameras. If he attempted to breach it, the spillway would release, drowning any intruders.
His mental power was strong enough, but to prevent Professor X from finding it, William Stryker had installed devices inside the base to block mental powers, which was why Professor Charles had always been unable to locate it. Therefore, he could not be certain that William Stryker was inside the base.
But, whether Stryker was there or not, Bi Xiao was not willing to waste time here.
So—
With a loud "boom," the ground under Bi Xiao's feet cracked, and he shot straight up into the sky, diving toward the direction of the dam at a breathtaking speed.
Bi Xiao, like a meteorite, crashed from the most densely packed part of the dam's atmosphere.
Boom!
The sturdy dam exploded like foam, smashing through layers of concrete and steel.
On the lower levels of the base inside the dam, soldiers were still patrolling with weapons as usual, performing their daily duties, but no one expected the ceiling above to suddenly shatter, and a figure enveloped in dust and debris crashed down, creating a blast wave that swept all around.
The nearby patrolling soldiers and a few passing researchers in white coats were blown away by the blast wave, either smashing into walls or equipment, with continuous screams echoing throughout the base.
A few unfortunate ones even died on the spot from head injuries.
At the same time, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the base, and the warning lights mounted on the walls turned red and began flashing.
The base was suddenly under attack, and everyone inside immediately reacted.
In the control room, soldiers quickly located the site of the incident on their computer monitors and grabbed their communicators to shout.
"All soldiers be advised, the base is under attack, the enemy is in Sector 7, the enemy is in Sector 7."
"Proceed immediately to eliminate the enemy."
At that moment, footsteps were heard outside the metal door, and a middle-aged man in a black sweater and glasses, looking somewhat aged, rushed in with several soldiers.
"What's happening?"
"Sir, an enemy has invaded the base from above the dam, someone has breached the dam."
The operator clicked a few keys on the keyboard, and the base's floor plan on the screen showed a red line from the top of the dam to the inside of the base, indicating the damaged area.
"How many enemies are there?"
"Uh, just one?" The operator pointed at the monitor.
