When the electric vehicle arrived at the entrance of Zone B, they saw that the iron gate at the entrance was already completely sealed. Two red lights were flashing silently. A cold electronic voice was repeating: “Emergency situation, Zone B has entered Level One alert status. All outsiders are strictly forbidden from entering. To travel, you must obtain Level A authorization. Attention, this is not a drill. Everyone must stay in their rooms and not go outside. Attention, this is not a drill…”

Jason Clark stopped the car and said helplessly, “Zone B is completely sealed off, we can’t get in.”

Brian Carter was also a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Zone B to be under such strict guard. However, with such tight security, Sophie’s safety would also be ensured. Brian Carter felt much more at ease.

But he couldn’t just wait outside; he had to see Sophie as soon as possible. Once the underground monster army broke in, the strict defenses of Zone B would become a joke.

With Brian Carter’s current strength, forcing his way in would be too dangerous. Brian Carter got out of the car and walked to the gate, shouting at the monitor, “I am Brian Carter, I want to see Sophie Foster.”

A reply quickly came from the other side, “Level One alert status. All visitor activities are forbidden.” The cold electronic voice showed no trace of emotion.

Although the answer was not unexpected, Brian Carter was still a bit annoyed. He shouted again, “I have an extremely urgent situation and request to see the base’s executive director Andrew Foster.”

“No authorization, request denied.” The J900 robot was highly intelligent and had many preset programs for handling emergencies. According to its scan, the Brian Carter outside was only seventeen years old, not yet an adult. His identity was just that of an ordinary student. The urgent situation he mentioned was not deemed credible.

Brian Carter knew that the J900’s thinking mode was fully intelligent, even more accurate in judgment than most adults. And they had no emotional fluctuations. Once a decision was made, any form of pleading would be rejected.

“That’s right, there’s still one more person!” Brian Carter suddenly thought of Jason Clark. With Jason Clark’s status, requesting to report an emergency might still be allowed.

“Big Brother Clark, you do it. Just say there’s an extremely urgent situation and you need to report to Andrew Foster.” After a pause, Brian Carter lowered his voice and said, “If it still refuses, say it concerns the ‘Tianlong’ project. Request to use the highest emergency authorization.”

Jason Clark frowned. Was it really necessary to make such a big fuss just to see a girlfriend? He didn’t know what the “Tianlong” project was, but he was sure it was something extremely important. Jason Clark found it hard to accept Brian Carter’s approach.

After all, his status was different from Brian Carter’s. Brian Carter could act recklessly, and if others found out, they’d just say he was young and inexperienced. But if he followed Brian Carter’s lead and acted crazy, it would be a different matter. As the head of the security force, acting this way was practically a crime.

After Brian Carter finished speaking, he noticed that Jason Clark’s expression was a bit off. Brian Carter thought for a moment and immediately understood what Jason Clark was worried about. He paused, then said seriously, “Big Brother Clark, do you trust me?”

Being stared at by Brian Carter’s sharp, bright eyes, Jason Clark couldn’t help but lower his gaze. Brian Carter’s eyes were too piercing, like the sharp sword in his hand, almost able to pierce through his soul.

Jason Clark also recalled that before entering the Anfu Building, Brian Carter had asked him to use the mecha, and had asked the same question. Thinking of Brian Carter’s almost monstrous performance, the miracles he had created, and his kindness, Jason Clark felt a bit ashamed that he had underestimated Brian Carter because of his age.

“I trust you,” Jason Clark said solemnly.

“I am Deputy Captain of the Security Team Jason Clark, and I have an extremely urgent situation to report to Executive Director Andrew Foster.” Standing in front of the gate, Jason Clark recited the reason Brian Carter had made up for him. He didn’t like lying, and being forced to do so made his heart race, his palms sweat, and he felt very uneasy.

A virtual screen appeared on the iron gate, showing the figure of a J900 robot in a police uniform. To distinguish it from a real person, the J900’s face was made of steel. Although it was very smooth, it was completely different from a human face.

“Your identity has been verified. But Deputy Captain Jason Clark, please consider carefully. We are now under Level One alert, under military control. What you say will be recorded in the file. If you are lying, you will face military law punishment.”

J900’s emotionless words put great pressure on Jason Clark.

Military law punishment was no joke. If the situation was serious, he could be sentenced to decades in prison. Sweat immediately broke out on Jason Clark’s forehead. But he was a decisive person; since he had agreed to Brian Carter’s request, he was determined to see it through.

“I have an extremely urgent situation and request to immediately meet with Executive Director Andrew Foster.” Jason Clark repeated.

J900 nodded, “Submitting your request to higher authorities, Deputy Captain Clark. Please wait a moment.”

Brian Carter also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, J900 was clearly trying to intimidate Jason Clark. This was also part of their emergency response programming—using intimidation and other means to test the other party’s credibility. If Jason Clark had been scared or hesitated too much, J900 might have determined that Jason Clark was lying and rejected all his requests.

After waiting another two minutes, the image on the virtual screen at the gate changed, and a handsome man wearing glasses appeared. Jason Clark was a bit puzzled. As a mid-level member of the base, he had seen Andrew Foster before, but who was this man in front of him?
