Chapter 947 - A Visit to the Capital (2/2)

”Sorry to interrupt, are you Mr. Jiang Fei?” sai the driver after he lowered the window. The driver was a young man, perhaps even as young as Jiang Fei, dressed in full military uniform.

”Yes, I am…” Jiang Fei answered.

”General Fan has sent me here to pick you up. Please…” said the young man before opening the rear passenger door with just a push of a button.

”Very well,” said Jiang Fei, entering the car without hesitation. When Jiang Fei and Ariel were in the car and the driver started driving at top speed, no one talked. Instead of driving towards the capital city, the car went away from the main freeway and entered the mountain range.

Both Jiang Fei and Ariel were quiet and was putting on a poker face. Ariel had nothing to worry about traps since she was a Level 5 Metahuman. With her strength, not even a nuclear bomb could put a scratch on her. Jiang Fei, on the other hand, was in good terms with the military and knew that they would not do anything to wrong him.

Jiang Fei was calm of the sudden appearance of the car since the reason he was going to the capital was because he was invited by General Fan. He was informed about it when Zhang Song came over to talk business with him. He did not immediately take off to meet General Fan since he just came back home after the war and wanted some quality family time for himself.

Although no one was talking in the car, Jiang Fei was busy conversing with Ariel and 0542 via telepathy!

”Dearest… this man is not a human!” she said.

”Not human, you say? I'm impressed. Looks like the military have put in a lot of effort in perfecting the Android technology. Although the driver was not giving off a welcoming vibe, without actual inspection, he could pass off as a regular human any day!”

”0542, scan the Android for me.”

”Yes, captain. The Android has a full metal alloy skeletal system with no special combat or weapon's attachment. This Android functions no more than just a driver! It is not fit for combat,” 0542 explained.

”No more than just a driver…” Jiang Fei murmured inaudibly. Jiang Fei was surprised to know that since he had never thought the military would even invest and produce non-combat type Androids.

Just then, the car entered deep into the mountains and when there was no road left to drive on, the drive continued still.

Jiang Fei was taken aback but when the driver sped up, Jiang Fei felt there was something amiss. One second before Jiang Fei was prepared to jump out of the car, the car went straight into the mountain wall, as if it was not there. Jiang Fei turned around and realized that it was just a hologram.

”A large scale holographic projection?” Jiang Fei muttered. He was impressed that humans were able to replicate what 0542 could.

The mountain was merely a disguise for a huge man-made tunnel that only grew larger. At one point, the tunnel was so huge that two large airbuses could fit inside it.

The car stopped at a platform and a rail guard popped up to hold the car in place.

”Are we here?” Jiang Fei asked.

”Please wait a moment, Mr. Jiang Fei,” said the driver. As soon as he said that, the car was locked in place and Jiang Fei could feel a sudden jerk before it went down like a lift.
