After confirming that there was no danger, Xiuzhi sidled over to let Mo Wen pass.
There were no corridors on the fifth floor, just a huge room.
The room was mainly white, and at first glance, there was not even a hint of any other colour.
Almost as soon as they entered the room, Xiuzhi and the others squinted, as they suddenly went from the darkness to such a bright place, and they just felt all kinds of discomfort in their eyes.
'Welcome to your arrival.' Sitting in the back of the room, the voice of the King of Spades rang out with a smile, sounding a little harsh.
He was the only man in the entire room standing on a high platform with his arms open in a welcoming gesture, with countless surveillance screens behind him.
The man wore a white mask with a King of Spades on it, covering his entire face. He was also dressed in white, and his whole body almost blended into the white room.
'Staying in such a bright place doesn't scare his eyes.' Drunkenly, without a word, he closed his eyes and muttered, "Now I only feel that the whole field of vision is white.'
'King of Spades?" Xiu Qi stood next to Mo Wen and smiled with a gloomy face, 'I really didn't expect that the King of Spades of the White Envoy is only a third-order mutant.'
'Yes, I am indeed only a third-order mutant.' The King of Spades laughed, showing no signs of fear in the face of powerful people like Mo Wen.
His gaze lingered on Mo Wen for a moment before quickly moving away, and he tapped his mask with his lips.
Previously, he could only tell from the video transmitted by the surveillance camera in the hallway that this man was definitely not weak, but he was still unable to determine just how powerful he was, because he had never been able to figure out what Mo Wen's ability was.
Mo Wen had long since lost patience. He looked down at Yu Lan, who was curled up in a ball, and was about to attack, but he just couldn't bring himself to take the step. As a third-tier mutant, King of Spades must have some sort of confidence to be able to stand up to them like this. If he were alone, he would have already launched an attack, but with Yu Lan, he couldn't take any chances.
He definitely couldn't carry Yu Lan in this state, but he couldn't leave her in the hands of Drunken Night and his men either.
This is really annoying. Mo Wen's heart was in a mess. He stared at the King of Spades, and a fierce desire to kill welled up in his heart.
'I never thought that this little place of mine would be honoured by the visit of the Emperor of Drunkenness and the Emperor of Repair. I'm truly flattered.' The King of Spades continued to prattle on, unaware that Mo Wen was already considering how to break his neck.
'But you're only a third-tier mutant, aren't you afraid that we'll kill you?' Drunken Nocturnal looked around, observing the surroundings in secret. He walked a few steps forward and said with a hearty smile, 'Not to mention that we've been standing here for a long time, and you haven't offered us any tea or water, nor have you let us sit down to rest. That's really rude.'
'The Drunken Emperor is joking,' The King of Spades said lightly, supporting his mask with one hand, 'I was able to get you here, naturally ensuring that you will never set foot outside.'
As soon as he finished speaking, Drunken Night was blinded by the suddenly bright white light. He tilted his head slightly and kept his eyes closed, but his hearing became very acute and he was on constant alert.
When his eyes adjusted to the glare and he opened them, a transparent barrier had surrounded the entire room, faintly flashing with white light.
A ten-metre-wide barrier of isolation also tightly surrounded the King of Spades. At a glance, Drunken Night discovered that from their current position, they would have to pass through three layers of barriers to reach the King of Spades.
No wonder he was so fearless...
These barriers must have been created using the power of isolation. As long as he wanted to isolate, even supernatural powers could not penetrate.
It's just that according to common sense, a third-order ability user simply doesn't have the power to create such a barrier.
'So you're an isolation-type ability user.' Mo Wen narrowed his eyes. He remembered that Yu Lan was also an isolation-type ability user before.
Yu Lan's head shook when she sensed the isolation ability. This familiar feeling made her shrink into a ball, closing her eyes as if she were asleep.
'So...it turns out that the White Envoy Base is actually involved with the United States.' Mo Wen looked around, staring at the King of Spades and whispered, "This is really not good news.'
'How is this possible?" Upon hearing this, the King of Spades' face trembled under the mask, but his voice still tried its best to remain normal, 'The White Envoy Base is a power of the Chinese Empire, so how could it be involved with the United States? We...only have business dealings with them.'
'As far as I know, the only amplifiers that can enhance the effects of supernormal abilities are found inside the United States.' Mo Wen glanced sideways at the white, transparent pipes on the wall and let out a light laugh.
Amplifiers are a type of booster installed inside houses by the United States after the end of the world. This type of booster can enhance the abilities of supernormal people by ten to twenty times. However, because these amplifiers are huge and heavy, they can only be installed indoors.
For various reasons, the United States has not shared this technology, and it is classified as top-secret information in their country.
'But now the White House base has the power to isolate the tube... What does that mean?' Xiu Qi interjected, playing with the chains in his hands and speaking carelessly.
Although the mask covered the face of the King of Spades, his fingers still trembled uncontrollably.
'Who exactly are you?' He stared at Mo Wen and asked in a low voice. He didn't need to look to know that his face at the moment was definitely not good.
'You don't need to know.' Xiu Qi raised his eyes and spoke coldly.
'Good, good, good.' The King of Spades spat out the three words one after the other, and his heart was even more determined that these people must not be allowed to walk out of here.
Not to mention that these people were all high-level members of the Alliance of Desires. If they could be wiped out...he would definitely be credited for it by the higher-ups.
He leisurely sat in the chair next to him and clapped twice. Immediately, countless guards surrounded the outer perimeter of the isolation circle, all pointing their guns at Drunken Night and the others.
When he saw Jiang Luo among the group, too, pointing a gun at them, Drunken Night raised an eyebrow.
Jiang Luo trembled and didn't dare to look at Drunken Night and the others. Over and over again, he silently repeated to himself that he was doing it all for survival, and he was doing nothing wrong.
'It doesn't matter if you don't say anything,' the King of Spades smiled, 'you're all going to die here anyway.'
As soon as he finished speaking, all the guards around them fired their guns at the same time.
Xiu Qi is an eleventh-tier mutant, and Zui Wu Ye is a ninth-tier mutant, so according to their current strength, it is not a problem to dodge these bullets.
But that is only for a few bullets; there are dozens of bullets shooting at them right now, and no matter how fast they dodge, they will never be able to avoid them all.
