The 108th floor of the Deep-sea Prison was located at the top of the building.
There were less than a hundred Special Task Force members guarding the place. However, Lan Mu had wiped them out as soon as he saw them.
After knocking them out, Lan Mu ignored them. After taking control of the AI system, he began to collect information on the Deep-sea Prison.
He was not in a hurry to go down. There were containment measures everywhere, and all kinds of strange things were locked up in various secret rooms.
Lan Mu obtained a steady stream of information about them, so he had to know his enemy as well as himself.
"CANC has a total of three intelligent containments. One of them was destroyed by the Eye of Obliteration, one of them is Tang Xiaohai, and the other one is in this Deep-sea Prison …"
"I thought the third one was Gaia, but it seems like Gaia wasn't included. Eh? It's actually a woman's plate armor? "
Lan Mu read the information on the Deep-sea Prison and had a rough idea of what to do.
"I can't be too violent. Otherwise, if the containment fails, it'll be very troublesome for me to clean it up."
"So, I'll have to use illusions?"
Lan Mu informed Zhuo Yue on the surface of the sea and asked her to prepare replacements. The entire Deep-sea Prison needed at least 800 people on standby. Including some guards, it would be best if there were 2,000 people.
Time passed by slowly. When Lan Mu came back to his senses and digested all the information, 20 minutes had passed.
The Special Task Force of each floor and the three Super Mobile Battle Teams of the 1000th floor had arrived. The timing was just right.
"Don't be nervous. I understand the importance of this place, and I don't want to cause too much destruction here." Lan Mu said. He could see that the group of people were relieved.
Lan Che, who was the leader, said, "Long, I know very well why you're here. It's good that you understand. Fighting here is very restrictive, and I also know that you don't care about us at all."
Lan Mu smiled and said, "Oh? You want to surrender directly? "
Lan Che said, "I plan to surrender …"
As soon as he said that, the people around him were all stunned. They hurriedly said, "Ah? Director! Our duty is to protect this place to our deaths! "
Lan Che said, "That's right. It is our duty to protect this place. If someone wants to destroy this place, I will stop them even if it costs me my life! Because once the containment fails, it will lead to chaos in human society. We exist to prevent such a situation from happening! "
Everyone did not understand and asked in surprise, "Then why surrender? He's alone, let's fight it out with him! "
Lan Che laughed and said, "Don't think that he can't destroy the prison by himself. Don't forget that he is a dragon, 360 meters long! Once they transform and fight inside the prison, they can even break and collapse the prison. "
"The enemy will cause the containment to fail, so we naturally have to do our best to stop it. But if the result of fighting to the death is worse than surrendering, then I choose to surrender."
Everyone was stunned, but Lan Mu already understood what Lan Che meant.
He had read Lancher's profile before. He was a dogmatist who had stayed in the deep sea for sixty years. However, his understanding of dogma was different from the people outside the prison. He was protecting humanity, not the CANC.
Now that the CANC had fallen, they no longer had the power to maintain the safety of the prison.
The enemy had already arrived at their doorstep. To prevent the containment from failing due to fighting and further harming human society, he would rather surrender and bear the crime of betrayal.
Between his reputation for loyalty and the safety of humanity, he had already made his choice.
The meaning of his existence was to prevent the anomalies inside the prison from harming humanity. For this bottom line, it didn't matter whether it was the CANC or the Blue and White Society that took over this place.
"I like people like you!" Lan Mu sincerely praised him this time. Lan Che had saved him a lot of trouble, and it was for the best that he didn't have to fight.
He had finally met someone who wasn't so stubborn, or rather, his stubbornness was different from the others.
Most likely, the 60 years of living in a prison in the deep sea had completely filled his heart.
The only bottom line left in Lan Che's heart was to protect the prison and humanity. As for whether it was an organization that allowed an anomaly to become a core member, or something else … he didn't care.
This was also the helplessness of strength. If his desperate resistance would cause a disaster to humanity, even if his desperate resistance earned him a strong reputation for loyalty, he would never be able to get past the hurdle in his heart.
Perhaps for some of the CANC members who hadn't been stationed here for long, if they were able to fight to the death against the enemy, even if it was only for a few seconds, it would still be worth it.
But what Lan Che wanted wasn't a single moment of sacrifice, but the long-term peace of humanity.
He didn't want to be a hero at all. He would rather the day of his desperate struggle never come, so that he could peacefully die in this deep sea 200km away.
The morale of the Super Mobile Squad and Special Task Force members immediately plummeted, their originally desperate spirit was completely washed away by Lan Che's words.
As the old director who had been stationed here for 60 years, the first thing he said was to surrender, causing everyone's morale to plummet.
Only Lan Mu knew that this person's way of thinking was correct. There was finally someone who was willing to believe in the existence of non-humans.
"Very well, the Lan Bai Society will take over this place. Our people will maintain control of this place. A portion of your staff may remain here, but the combatants must leave" Lan Mu declared.
The staff members were still fine. Their main job was to control the various anomalies, so they were very clear on the dangers of losing containment. As long as they could protect this place, they could accept a change in boss. The old director Lan Che's prestige was very high, if he was willing to believe in the Lan Bai Society, then everyone else could also believe in him.
But the combatants were different, they were much more radical!
It wasn't that they didn't know that they had no chance of winning against the Lan Bai Society, or that fighting would cause the containment to lose effectiveness, but they just didn't want to believe in the promise of a non-human, they didn't want to believe in the Lan Bai Society who had toppled CANC in one fell swoop!
In their opinion, if the Lan Bai Society took control of the Deep Sea Prison, it would be the same as holding the doomsday switch, holding countless lives in their hands! At the same time, the hope of CANC's revival would become even slimmer.
"No! Director, how can we believe in the words of an anomaly? Rumor has it that the Lan Bai Society has been abusing anomalies, and their leaders are all supernatural creatures. When they are in danger, they definitely wouldn't care about the lives of humans! "a Super Mobile Squad Captain exclaimed.
Lan Che nodded: "We are practically cut off from the outside world, whether or not these rumors are true isn't important. This is because we have no choice! Even if they are, what's the difference between resisting now and resisting when the time comes? "
"If we resist now, the containment will definitely fail, and we won't be able to survive. If that's the case, why don't we believe in them? Even if there's a 1% chance? As long as we can survive, there's still hope "
"Furthermore, the fall of CANC has caused the Deep Sea Prison to lose its supply of resources, we will soon run out of resources to control anomalies"
Everyone slowly calmed down. What Lan Che said was the truth, they didn't have a choice. Although they could fight for their lives, what would be the point?
But they were still unwilling. If they surrendered in a single encounter, would they still be worthy of being called CANC?
Lan Che understood, so he told Lan Mu: "Friends of the Lan Bai Society, you can join us in managing the Deep Sea Prison, we can even join the Lan Bai Society and betray CANC. However, before that, you must show us your sincerity "
Lan Mu tilted his head and asked: "What is it?"
Lan Che replied: "Entering the Red Sea without dying, proving that you alone have the power to instantly kill all of us"
Lan Mu was a bit surprised. He had read quite a bit of information just now, so he knew that the Red Sea was a book-shaped anomaly that was imprisoned on the 900th floor. To be more precise, it was the world inside that anomaly.
It was a place of death, after sacrificing the lives of over 200 explorers, they only managed to find a single piece of useless information.
On the other side of the mirror was a sea of red desert.
