Card maker? No, I'm a mechanic!

"Brothers of the city defense forces, it's so late and you still have to mobilize so many troops. You must be exhausted."

The old man strolled up to the fat man and spoke calmly.

Although his tone was very polite, the confidence that comes with strength was impossible to hide.

"However, this is private property after all, and there are many trade secrets inside."

He looked at Jin Haotian with a calm expression.

"It was indeed our mistake just now, which caused some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"If an inspection is absolutely necessary, then it's not out of the question."

"only……"

The old man paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

"Are you all capable of shouldering certain responsibilities?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room froze for a moment.

Although he seemed to agree, his abilities subtly made him the most important person present.

"So, this guy finally came out...?"

Upon seeing this, Jiang Zhe, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but slightly shrink his pupils.

Is this the guy who once posed a deadly threat to him deep in the mine?

However, in just a moment, Jiang Zhe quickly regained his composure and his brain started working at lightning speed.

Now that we've lured the tiger away from the mountain, it's time to make our move.

"Old Lin."

Thinking it over, Jiang Zhe leaned forward slightly and then lowered his voice to speak to Professor Lin beside him.

"The big fish has come out, so the inside must be empty now."

"So I'm going to sneak past from the side."

Professor Lin nodded in acknowledgment, but first pulled him aside and then took out a card from his pocket and handed it over.

"Take it."

"This is?"

Jiang Zhe looked down and saw a card that was entirely crimson, but with excessively distorted patterns.

"This is something I developed inspired by your blinding card."

Professor Lin lowered his voice, his tone carrying an undisguised hint of smugness.

"After many attempts, I finally succeeded in cutting off the fireball's output circuit, forcing it to be consumed internally."

"Once activated, it will not be released, but will burn on the spot until the card is completely destroyed."

Jiang Zhe was taken aback, and his fingertips gently caressed the surface of the card.

"Incendiary bomb?"

"Hmm...more or less."

Professor Lin chuckled, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

"It's quite powerful, but use it carefully."

"Thanks," Jiang Zhe said, carefully accepting the package.

While the standoff was taking place outside, he took out the dark blue boxing gloves from his backpack and put them on.

He then silently opened the car door and disappeared into the night like a ghost.

……

After getting out of sight of everyone, Jiang Zhe quickly summoned the floating cannons.

"Buzz..."

The metal sphere appeared, then rippled and disappeared completely into the air.

"Go ahead and scout the way."

Through mental connection, commands were quickly issued.

The upgraded floating cannons are extremely powerful, capable of stealth pathfinding and jamming devices with ease.

Guided by this, Jiang Zhe easily avoided several hidden sentries and spy cameras.

They then climbed over the barbed wire fence as if it were empty and entered the interior.

Without saying much, he sneaked into what appeared to be an ordinary mine entrance.

The surface of the mine is brightly lit at this moment.

Dozens of workers were sweating profusely as they repaired some damaged equipment, and the air was filled with the smell of engine oil.

"Quickly, quickly, connect that pipe."

"That was too loud! Hurry up!"

The workers complained as they worked, as if they were indeed doing serious work.

Jiang Zhe, meanwhile, hid behind a mine cart, coldly observing everything.

"They've covered it up pretty well. No wonder they didn't find out the problem for so long."

If the inspectors weren't deliberately trying to fool them, they might actually be fooled by the bustling scene of labor.

However, this obviously won't fool Jiang Zhe.

"Since it's an underground laboratory, ventilation and power supply are definitely essential."

"Moreover, the scale of those devices is absolutely incomparable to this kind of mining equipment."

He quickly discovered a flaw.

In a dead end deep inside the mine, a thick pipe was not connected to any equipment.

Instead, it disappeared directly into the solid stone wall.

"Found it."

Jiang Zhe's lips curled up slightly, and then he quietly reached out.

He did not choose to resort to violence, as he did not want to alert the workers outside for the time being.

He simply reached out and placed his fingertips on the stone wall, his spiritual energy quickly probing into it.

With this perception, he discovered a complex energy loop lock hidden behind the stone wall in just a moment.

"A classic hidden door design, but unfortunately, this encryption method is still a bit outdated for me."

Jiang Zhe chuckled, and his mental energy also fluctuated rapidly, forcibly severing several key energy nodes.

"Click".

With a slight clicking sound, the seemingly solid stone wall began to slowly slide open to both sides.

Then a deep underground passage was revealed.

Without much hesitation, Jiang Zhe swiftly slipped inside.

……

Stepping into the passageway behind the door, the environment changed abruptly.

It is no longer a rough mine shaft, but a modern corridor filled with metallic texture.

"Successfully entered. Let me see what's going on."

Jiang Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly, and his steps became much more relaxed.

As he went deeper, although he didn't hear any alarms, he saw a corner in the corridor ahead.

Suddenly, a patrol team appeared.

They were several burly men in black uniforms, but the quality of their clothes looked average; they seemed to have been bought at a low wholesale price.

"Looks like there are still quite a few people inside."

Jiang Zhe leaned against the wall at the corner and silently calculated the distance and number of people in his mind.

"We can't delay."

If you accidentally get entangled, or if they sound an alarm and attract other people.

Then his infiltration skills would truly be unparalleled.

"We must use maximum speed and blast our way through!"

"Who goes there?!"

The patrolling assassins reacted extremely quickly, spotting Jiang Zhe almost the instant he made his move.

Upon seeing this, the leader didn't waste any words and, without fear of accidentally injuring anyone, instantly activated the crimson card in his hand.

"Dragon Fire!"

"boom!"

A fiery dragon made of flames roared out, instantly filling the entire corridor with rolling heat waves.

Flames soared into the sky, and the intense heat completely blocked Jiang Zhe's path of advance or retreat.

In this terrain, area-of-effect attacks are absolutely lethal!

But despite the perilous situation, Jiang Zhe did not show much panic.

Instead of retreating, he slammed his left arm against the wall beside him, and the dark blue light on his gauntlets surged instantly.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, a terrifyingly low-temperature field erupted instantly, centered on the point of contact.

The once menacing fire dragon suddenly seemed to have crashed into an invisible ice wall.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

The heat was rapidly drawn away, and the fire dragon's swollen body visibly shrank.

The blazing flames dimmed, as if they might go out at any moment.

Almost at the same time, the invisible floating cannons had already silently circled around to the team's face.

In the card slot, a blinding card awaits.
