They didn't exchange any words, meticulously patrolling the area around the building.
Mark couldn't sense any boredom or impatience from them; they didn't seem like living people at all, but rather more like machines.
"If I'm not mistaken, these people should all be ninjas trained by the Hand and the Association."
Mark wondered to himself.
These ninjas are proficient in various skills such as assassination, poison, infiltration, and disguise.
What's even more terrifying is that they have all undergone brainwashing training, making them completely fearless and capable of taking down the enemy with them at any time, even with bombs.
Some of these high-ranking ninjas even gained the resurrection authority of the Dragon Bone Secret Technique.
As long as their heads are intact and their bodies are not completely incinerated, they can be resurrected through secret techniques even after death.
That's why Mark didn't want to provoke these lunatics when he wasn't strong enough.
"Alice, see if you can hack into the building's public network."
Mark gave the order to Alice.
"Okay... Firewall detected, attempting vulnerability exploitation, exploitation successful."
"The security protocol has been bypassed, and the local logs are being overwritten."
"Access permissions acquired successfully. System takeover complete."
Alice quickly and successfully hacked into the network inside the building below and began searching the company's database.
As Mark was not surprised by the result, Central Financial appeared to be a legitimate and compliant company on the surface.
As for the underground area hidden beneath the building, it was not connected to the network, and Alice was unable to explore it.
"It seems I'll have to go in and see for myself!"
Mark's body plummeted downwards.
"Who goes there!"
Two security guards on patrol saw Mark suddenly fall from the sky and immediately drew their pistols, ready to shoot him.
Mark immediately stepped forward, grabbed the two men by the neck, and snapped their necks with a slight twist.
Then, in a flash, he disappeared from the spot.
Surveillance, infrared, and sound vibration devices were installed around the building.
But enveloped by the bio-force field, Mark was not only extremely fast, but also silent and undetectable by infrared radiation and sound vibrators.
In the dim light of the night, the surveillance cameras were also unable to capture Mark's figure flying close to the ground at high speed.
Mark used the same method and took care of all the dozen or so security guards on the perimeter within three minutes.
Then, in a flash, he entered the Central Financial Building.
The Hand and the Society frequently enter and exit the underground area, and sometimes they even transport various mechanical equipment in an attempt to break the seal.
Their actions all left some marks, some deep and some shallow, on the ground.
With his superhuman eyesight and hearing, Mark carefully searched the first floor and quickly found a mechanism in one of the offices that might be the entrance to the underground area, based on these clues.
But Mark heard the breathing and heartbeats of two people beneath the mechanism.
If Mark were to rashly open the mechanism, the other party would definitely notice.
If that alarms everyone below, Mark will have some trouble dealing with it.
"call……"
He immediately blew a breath of cold air towards the location where the two people below were.
The area where the two were located was enveloped in a temperature of -120 degrees Celsius.
"What's going on? Why do I suddenly feel cold!"
Even the floors above couldn't keep them warm, and the two people below quickly felt the cold, which suddenly intensified.
When they realized something was wrong and tried to raise the alarm, they found that their limbs were numb and their throats were freezing, making it impossible for them to make a sound.
Two minutes later, the two had turned into two lumps of ice and lost their lives.
"I didn't expect that just freezing this area completely would consume so much of my energy."
Mark frowned as he sensed that his body had lost nearly a tenth of its energy.
While the Super Breathing device is useful, when used at maximum power, its energy consumption is not less than that of a thermal vision device.
At that moment, he pressed a button on the wall next to him, and the originally flat concrete wall immediately opened to both sides, revealing an entrance leading to the underground.
After Mark went underground, he saw the two ninjas who were frozen solid, standing guard by the entrance.
He didn't pay much attention and continued walking inside.
"Hey, who are you?"
Two more patrolling ninjas spotted Mark and were about to call out to him.
Mark ignored them, his eyes flashing red light, and his heat vision burned through the throats of the two security guards in just 0.1 seconds.
They collapsed to the ground and died before they could warn the other ninjas.
The basement level is about the same size as the first floor, except that it has been converted into dormitories.
Most of the ninjas were sleeping in their rooms, with only a few patrolling outside.
With his keen hearing, Mark had already detected the location of the patrolling ninjas.
Before they could react, Mark would either snap their necks or kill them using his heat vision.
After killing the more than twenty ninjas patrolling outside, Mark went down the passage to the second underground level.
He originally intended to enter the ninjas' bedrooms and kill them all while they were asleep.
But Mark soon realized that he had underestimated these ninjas.
These ninjas were extremely vigilant, and they didn't seem to trust their comrades. The rooms were mostly filled with various traps and mechanisms.
Mark almost triggered a small mechanism on the door of the first bedroom, waking the ninja on the bed.
To avoid wasting time and energy, Mark dealt with the ninja in the room and abandoned the hunt, deciding to first go underground to check where the dragon bones were buried.
Chapter 119 The Seal
Unlike the first basement level, the second basement level looks more like a large construction site.
Without anyone noticing, the Hand and the Society dug a large pit, tens of meters in diameter, with a vertical shaft pointing straight down to the center of the pit, its depth unknown.
Perhaps believing it to be safe enough, no ninja guards were stationed on the second basement level.
However, Mark heard the breathing and heartbeats of more than ten people at the bottom of the shaft, as well as the roar of machines using drills and other tools.
"It seems that the Hand and the Society are digging for the keel below."
Mark leaped into the air and jumped into the shaft.
The shaft was a hundred meters deep. When Mark came out from the other end, he saw an underground cave that was a hundred meters in diameter.
The cave dwelling is surrounded by rock walls, on which traces of human excavation can be seen.
At the end of the cave dwelling stands a huge stone gate, 12 meters high and 16 meters wide.
At this moment, more than a dozen ninjas from the Hand-Warrior Association were standing in front of this stone gate.
They used various tools, including electric drills, impact rock drills, and heavy-duty hydraulic breakers, to try to break down the stone door in front of them.
The stone gate was covered with dense dents and pits, which must have been the marks left by the Hands and the Guild over the years.
However, judging from the size of this boulder, it should be about two meters thick.
The people who were with their hands had only damaged the outer layer of this boulder.
Mark stared at the boulder for a moment and quickly noticed the unusual thing about it.
This is not an ordinary stone door.
When tools such as impact drills and stone crushers land on the giant gate, they emit a faint layer of golden energy, which almost completely blocks these attacks.
Despite the enthusiasm of these men and women, Mark estimated that even if they were given another hundred years, they would never be able to break through this stone door.
The Hand and the Society also seemed to want to bypass the stone gate and dig from the side.
However, the people who built this cemetery had already taken this into account.
Judging from the pits and craters left on the rock walls on both sides, the Hand and the Society's flanking maneuver was unsuccessful.
Just as Mark was observing the stone gate in front of him, a ninja who was working turned around and saw Mark standing behind him.
"Who are you, and when did you come in?"
The ninja looked somewhat puzzled.
The other ninjas also turned around and stared at Mark, who was wearing a blue bodysuit and a red cape.
This is the core area of the Hand and the Society, and there are so many ninja guards outside. They didn't realize at first that someone could break in here silently.
If it weren't for Mark's strange attire, which was actually him cosplaying as Superman from the comics, they would almost have mistaken him for one of their own!
"No! It might be the enemy..."
One of the ninjas seemed to realize what was happening, shouting as he reached for his weapon at his waist.
But at this moment, two red beams of light shot from Mark's eyes and swept towards the ninja in front of him.
The thermal vision only lingered on these ninjas' necks for 0.1 seconds before melting away all the flesh and blood, leaving only a spine supporting their heads.
Some quick-reacting ninjas also pulled out kunai or poison needles from their waists and threw them at Mark.
After upgrading the biofield to LV11, it became very difficult for ordinary sniper bullets to penetrate the biofield's protection and hit Mark.
The kunai, poison needles, and other objects thrown by the ninjas were frozen in mid-air by the bio-force field before they even touched Mark, losing their momentum and falling to the ground.
The heat vision continued to sweep across, and the terrifying heat instantly severed the necks of these ninjas.
When Mark stopped using his heat vision, there were no ninjas left alive.
Fortunately, those killed by heat vision rarely bleed, so the deaths of these ninjas did not make the cave too bloody.
Mark walked up to the stone door and touched it, feeling a chilling energy emanating from it.
"boom!"
Mark pushed off the ground with both feet, unleashing all his strength, and slammed his fist into the stone door in front of him.
Mark's current full-force pull is a hundred tons, and the impact of his full-force punch is as high as 500 tons!
Such force can directly smash through a meter-thick reinforced concrete wall, or flatten an armored vehicle!
However, after the punch hit the giant stone gate, the gate didn't even budge, and only a shallow fist mark was left on it.
Mark felt that when he punched the stone door, a strange energy would erupt from inside, blocking most of his attack.
It was clearly impossible for him to smash open the stone door with his own fists.
"boom!"
Mark activated his thermal vision again, and two red beams of light shot towards the stone gate opposite.
1 second, 10 seconds, 30 seconds...
Mark has now turned the thermal imaging to its maximum power. With the temperature at 2500 degrees Celsius maintained for such a long time, most of the metals have melted into liquid, and ordinary rocks have turned directly into magma.
But the stone gate in front of us hasn't changed much.
After the intense heat from the thermal vision continued for ten minutes, the stone gate only turned slightly red, far from being truly damaged.
"call……"
Prolonged exposure to full-power heat caused Mark's eyes to ache, and nearly half of the energy stored in his body's cells was depleted.
Mark could only pause his use of thermal vision and then exhale cold air towards the stone door.
He tried to use the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to see if he could damage the stone gate.
The stone door, which had just been scorched red by the heat of the sun, suddenly encountered a frigid air of -120 degrees Celsius, and cracks quickly began to appear on it.
Mark's face lit up with joy, but then a surge of pale golden energy appeared, and the cracks on the stone door quickly disappeared again.
