Passing through the town, Alan appeared in front of a factory shed at the back of the town. The factory had been abandoned for a long time, and it was surrounded by a circle of barbed wire. The barbed wire had been rolled up in many places, and the bottom was covered in weeds. Half of the iron door had fallen, and the other half was swaying weakly under the sunlight, making squeaking sounds.
He walked through the door and passed a gravel field. Tenacious weeds could be seen everywhere on the ground, swaying in the wind. Not far away, there were a few cement pipes. Two legs stretched out of one of the pipes, and someone was sleeping inside. But in this town, you never knew if it was a lazy man sleeping in or a corpse.
Alan wasn't interested in knowing. He walked to the gate of the factory. The factory was a concrete and steel structure, so it looked dilapidated. There were cracks in many parts of the outer wall, but it was still very strong. It could last at least a decade before it collapsed. In town, such a building was rare. It could shelter people from the wind and rain, and was more ideal than the shacks and tin houses.
Of course, as long as there were humans, there would be social classes. Even a rundown town like this was no exception. Good things had always been enjoyed by the upper class, so only the most important people in town could afford to live in such a factory.
The most important person in town was definitely not the dispensable mayor, but Cobra Laodi. Laodi was the real owner of the town. Two years ago, he was one of the previous owner's subordinates. But after he killed the man named Wautry, the town was his, including a dozen lazy men and a few old automatic rifles.
In town, you could have everything if you had a gun.
So when Alan opened the door, he wasn't surprised to hear a woman moaning in the distance. Even in such a small town, there was at least entertainment.
"Who's there?"
"Stop!"
Several men jumped down from the machine tools on the left and the boxes on the right. One of them was bare-chested with a pistol in his pants, and the others were holding sticks or machetes. They looked like typical ruffians.
Alan smiled and said, "I want to see Laodi."
The man with the gun on his waist grinned. "You think you can see Boss Laodi whenever you want? Do you think you're the President of the Federation? "
Alan shook his head and suddenly raised his hand. There was a silver pistol in his hand. A few crimson lines lit up on the gun. A bright red Origin Energy bullet shot out and entered the man's head. The man was stunned, and a moment later, his head exploded like a watermelon! The white and red liquid splashed on the faces of the men nearby. The smiles on their faces gradually disappeared and were replaced by fear. Then, they screamed and ran in all directions.
At the end of the factory, an office door was kicked open from the inside. A man wearing glasses walked out with a rifle and shouted, "Who the f * ck dares to mess with me here!"
Another two men rushed out of the office with guns. They were wearing similar clothes to the ruffians from before, but their eyes and movements were much sharper. As soon as the two of them left the office, they looked for cover and entered combat mode. The bespectacled man was, of course, Cobra. Lao Di narrowed his eyes and looked at Alan. Then, he looked at the headless corpse on the ground and sneered, "You have guts to kill someone here."
"I still have the guts to kill a dog."
Alan took off his cloak and pinned a coat of arms to his collar. It was a golden eagle coat of arms. Seeing this coat of arms, Lao Di's expression changed drastically. Suddenly, he threw away his gun and threw himself on the ground, roaring, "So it's my lord. You should inform me first. Otherwise, I can personally pick you up outside the town. There won't be any misunderstandings."
When the two capable bodyguards saw the coat of arms, they immediately put away their guns and saluted. However, they actually saluted the Federation military.
Alan shook his head and said, "I didn't want anyone to notice my whereabouts. If you really pick me up outside the town, I'll have a headache. Where are those people? "
This Lao Di was one of Alan's chess pieces on the surface. As for the two bodyguards, they were actually soldiers from the Federation Army. Under Alan's arrangement, they acted as guards for Lao Di. Otherwise, how could Lao Di, who was full of bad water, sit in the position of boss? After Alan finished speaking, Lao Di hurriedly got up from the ground and said, "My lord, they're down there."
"Have they had any abnormalities recently?"
Lao Di smiled bitterly and said, "My lord, they've taken the underground factory as their own. Not only am I not allowed to approach, they've also sent guards. I only have a chance to look inside when I deliver food to them every few days. My lord, they seem to be building something. "
"Lead the way," Alan said.
Walking down a safe passage, Alan soon saw the gate of the underground factory. This used to be the underground workshop of the factory. After it was abandoned, the door was locked with a chain as thick as an arm. As soon as they walked out of the staircase, a few spots of light covered Alan's body. A strange voice sounded from the shadows of the gate, "Stand there, human."
It was used in the human language of Earth, but the pronunciation was strange and difficult to pronounce. Then, the soft sound of some kind of mechanical operation came from the shadows. First, two purple lights lit up, and then an armored man walked out of the shadows. The other party was more than two meters tall, bald, and had gray skin. His body was covered in armor, and the armor was flowing with waves of regular light. The armored man's right wrist was like a hand cannon, and the muzzle was aimed at the staircase. If he wanted to, he could blast the entire staircase into ashes with one shot.
Alan snorted, "Is this how you treat your allies?"
The armored man clearly knew his identity, and a hint of mockery flashed through his eyes that flickered with ice. He said, "His Majesty has the final say on whether we are allies or not, not you."
"Cut the crap. I want to see your General Andos. "Alan said unhappily.
The Nelm warrior nodded coldly. As Alan and the others were about to leave, he pointed at Alan with his cannon and said, "Only you can come in. The others are waiting outside."
Lao Di and the others could only stop.
As he walked past the Nelm people, Alan suddenly pointed his magic pistol at the armored man's chest and said, "Next time you point your cannon at me, I'll blow your head open."
The eyes of the Nelm man lit up with purple light, his chest rose and fell, and he let out a suppressed roar from his throat. He lowered his head and glared at Alan fiercely. At this moment, another warrior walked out of the shadows. The warrior pulled his colleague away and said to Alan, "Human President, please."
Alan sneered, put away his gun, and followed the warrior into the underground workshop.
The workshop was dim, with only a few kerosene lamps on both sides serving as illumination. In the dim light, there was another door in front of him. However, this door was clearly not the original product of the workshop. It had a clear metallic texture under the light of the fire. There were two Nelm guards in front of the metal door. When they saw Alan, they stepped aside. The warrior leading Alan stepped forward and placed his hand on the door. A circle of twisting lines immediately appeared on the edge of his palm. The door retreated in all directions, revealing a passageway.
Alan walked into the passageway and narrowed his eyes. "Is this your starship?"
The people of Nelm were silent, but Alan already had the answer. The gate just now was directly connected to the alien battleship. These Nelm people had actually brought the battleship underground, but Lao Di and the others had no idea.
Through the secret channels of the Light Concealment Society, Alan and the Emperor of Nelm, Cajasso, had reached a cooperative relationship. In the last Twilight Son incident, Alan had obtained some secret powers from Cajasso, including the general of Nelm, Andos, who was known as Fury, and an elite tactical armor unit. However, Andos had encountered an accident when he was secretly sneaking across the interstellar defense line, so he didn't catch up with the Iron Prison incident.
Later on, Alan used it to attack a high-ranking member of the Light Concealment Society, and Andos indirectly proved his strength to Alan. A was completely powerless to retaliate in the hands of this General of Nelm.
When the door to the starship's command room opened, Alan saw Andos. This Nelm was said to be a hybrid with the Kidds. According to the information Alan could obtain, Andos was born on a mechanical star. However, because of his impure bloodline, Andos left the Star of Machines after receiving his first mechanical transformation and joined Cajasso's army.
He used his own strength to gain Cajasso's approval and became one of Cajasso's generals. Right now, Andos was sitting on the seat on the bridge. Even when he saw Alan, he had no intention of getting up to greet him. Alan narrowed his eyes and said, "General Andos, I want to contact His Majesty Cajasso."
Andos held his cheek with one hand and said casually, "Human President, you have to come here personally for such a small matter. Is that all you can do?"
Alan snorted, "You don't need to doubt my ability. It's not you who can decide whether to cooperate with me, but His Majesty Cajasso. I must remind you, General, that everything you say now is a waste of His Majesty Cajasso's time, and wasting His Majesty's time is wasting the future of the Nelm people. "
Andos laughed, "That's why I've never liked politicians. Your mouths are far more powerful than your fists."
The general waved his hand and said, "Contact His Majesty for our president."
A triangular metal device descended from the top of their heads. After it landed on the ground, a beam of light shot out from each of the three tops. The red, blue, and yellow rays of light quickly interweaved in midair. A moment later, a three-dimensional image appeared in front of Alan's eyes. In the image was Demon Lord Cajasso of the Nelm people. Although it was only a three-dimensional image, it gave off an invisible sense of oppression.
The image began to flicker. When it stabilized, Cajasso rolled his eyes, and Alan immediately felt like he was being watched.
"You don't look too good, Mr. President."
Alan smiled and said, "His Majesty Cajasso will also be able to observe his expression. Then why don't you take a look again, Your Majesty? What is the purpose of contacting you this time?"
Cajasso also laughed, "As I said, you're not in a good situation. Although I'm not on Earth, I can still collect some information. And from the information I've received, Mr. President is almost at his wit's end, isn't he? So, have you considered my previous suggestion? "
"I've thought about it." Alan put away his smile and said solemnly, "That's right, I really don't have any other better choice, so I've decided to accept your suggestion, Your Majesty."
Cajasso leaned forward slightly, his eyes glowing with purple light. "You'll find that it's a wise decision. We'll take what we need, Mr. President. Everything will be as we agreed. We will divide up the resources of Earth, and you will be the biggest winner. "
"Then, Your Majesty, when will you decide to start this operation? To be honest, my time is tight. "
"I won't keep you waiting too long, Mr. President. But one thing, before we officially start the whole plan, I need to see your sincerity. "Cajasso said with a smile.
Alan frowned, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"I want information about your Federation's military deployment on the interstellar defense line. Firstly, I can see Mr. President's sincerity. Secondly, this is also needed for the operation, isn't it?"
Alan nodded. "I understand. In fact, I'm ready." He took out a pocket-sized storage device and said, "This contains the military deployment information of the Sirius Legion for the last three years. But I have to remind you that Sirius and I have never had a good relationship, and I'm not sure if the information in this is 100% accurate. And that little woman Windsor Bellow is not a fuel-efficient lamp. I even suspect that the military reports she submits to the Federation every year are true. Perhaps the real information only exists in her head. "
"You don't have to worry about that. There's no plan that's 100% safe." Kagasuo said, "I'll arrange the operation as soon as possible. Just wait for my news. General Andos will fully cooperate with you in any action before the operation begins. "
Alan looked at Andos and sneered, "I don't think the general is willing to cooperate."
"That was before, but now it's another matter. Am I right, my general? "
Andos stood up and strode to Alan's eyes. He half-knelt down and said, "Of course, I'm happy to serve you. President or something."
He raised his head and smiled, but his smile made Alan uncomfortable.
"Then that's it. I look forward to meeting you next time. It's on this planet, Your Majesty Cajasso."
Alan glanced at Andos, who was still half-kneeling beside him, and said goodbye to Cajasso. The atmosphere here made him very unhappy. He did not like this kind of passive feeling. The channels of communication that he could go to were no longer safe. Alan was sure that both the Light Concealment Society and the wealthy families, and even the old party would monitor all his communication channels. If the outside world knew that he was connected to the people of Nelm, he would no longer be able to continue acting as Mobius, regardless of whether the outside world suspected his identity as president or not, and would even be thrown into the Federation prison.
If it weren't for these concerns, he wouldn't have had to find a way to come to the surface and contact Cajasso through the people of Nelm's own communication channel.
It was already the next morning when he left the town and returned to Babylon. The outside world knew nothing about his stealthy trip to the surface. After abandoning the Light Concealment Society and setting up a new sect, Alan also secretly cultivated a substitute so that he could continue to appear in the eyes of the outside world as Mobius when he needed it. However, in order to prevent what he had done from falling on his head, Alan's substitute would mysteriously disappear every once in a while, and then a new substitute would fill in.
He lived every day carefully, especially during this period of time when the people of Nelm were acting, and he did not allow himself to make any mistakes.
After returning to his residence, he took a shower and then appeared in the mirror in high spirits. When he changed back into the military uniform that Mobius was used to wearing, he saw a badge pinned to the left chest of his jacket. This badge should have been pinned to the right, but now it appeared on the left. It was obvious that someone had moved it. He calmly took off the badge and gently pressed it with his hand. The bottom of the badge split open and a note appeared inside.
Alan opened it and looked at it. Then, he rubbed his hands and the note turned into ashes. He took out a new badge from the drawer of the wardrobe and put it on before striding out of the house. There was already a convoy waiting outside the house. Today, he had a succession speech event. His schedule was so tight that he even had to eat on the way. Alan got into the first car. Naturally, his assistant served him breakfast and reminded him of the things he needed to pay attention to during his speech.
As Alan listened, he thought of the message on the note.
Be careful, Light Concealment will attack the ground transport team.
It was a message left behind by Weina, but Alan was very suspicious of the authenticity of the message. Weina and he hadn't been in touch for a long time since the last Iron Prison incident. He could not get any information about this woman through all the channels that Alan controlled. But now, she suddenly left him such a message.
Alan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Weina, looks like you've met your old friend. If I remember correctly, you never used to use the word 'be careful'. When did you care so much about me? "
"Attack the ground transport team?" Alan shook his head. "Eighty percent of the real target is me. That's fine. It just so happens that I haven't figured out how to push it out without leaving a trace. Now is a chance. "
He raised his head and smiled at his assistant, "I want to make a phone call."
Today's speech was scheduled to take place in Aurora Square. According to the scheduled schedule, the president's motorcade would drive into Goldwing Avenue at nine o'clock sharp today. At that time, the motorcade would move slowly, and Alan would show his face to meet people in order to increase his affinity with the people. Early in the morning, Goldwing Avenue was already crowded with Babylonians, and such an event was no different from a festival for people. Moreover, people urgently wanted to know how Mobius, played by Alan, would respond to the Iron Prison incident and the rumor that the Light Concealment Society was a true and false president.
