Infinite Travel: I know a lot of goddesses

Chapter 170! Failed defense system

(The previous chapter was greatly revised and two thousand words were added)

……

At the same time as they entered the elevator, a bearded senior executive of Shinra, wearing a double-breasted coat and with a scar on his right eye, walked into the president's office of Shinra Daxia.

This person is Heidegger, the head of Shinra's law and order maintenance department.

"President, according to the investigation, that group of rats called themselves 'Avalanche', but we still don't know what their relationship is with the Avalanche group that tried to assassinate you." Heidegger stood behind the Shinra president and reported the intelligence he had obtained.

"However, they are just claiming to be. We still need to continue investigating whether they are really the people from Avalanche. So, Mr. President, please give us a little more time," Heidegger continued.

President Shinra looked at the screen, which clearly showed the surveillance footage in the elevator. After listening to Heidegger's words, he nodded slightly.

Heidegger breathed a sigh of relief. Not receiving the expected criticism made him feel more relaxed. When he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by the president of Shinra.

"Heidegger, please investigate further. It seems that there is a traitor among us."

"What?" Heidegger was surprised. "How did you know?"

President Shinra pointed at Jesse in the surveillance video and said, "This girl seems to be very familiar with the interior of the Mako Reactor. She has never taken the wrong route. I remember that the last time we went to inspect the Mako Reactor, even the person in charge almost took us the wrong way. I think she must have a map of the interior of the Mako Reactor."

"I understand." Heidegger also realized the seriousness of the matter, put his feet together and left the office.

……

Inside the elevator, Barrett was explaining to Shen Ye and Claude with gestures and excitement.

"Do you see this big guy? When we eat and sleep, this big guy is constantly extracting Mako, never stopping, and without any hesitation."

Barrett's tone was very angry, but looking at Shen Ye who was thinking with his head down and Claude who was indifferent, he frowned, paused, and continued: "Do you know what Mako is? It is the blood of this planet, just like the blood in our bodies. In this case, what will happen if we keep extracting it like this?"

At this point, he suddenly pointed at Shen Ye and Claude and said in a loud voice: "Don't you hear the planet wailing, my brothers?"

Shen Ye was awakened from his thoughts by the sound. He looked at Barrett in confusion, then gave Jesse a puzzled look.

Jesse shrugged helplessly at him. She had seen this situation many times and was used to it.

Claude still looked at Barrett indifferently, and even asked: "Can you hear it?"

"Of course!" Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him, Barrett patted his chest vigorously: "I can hear the painful howling of the planet all the time."

"Really? It's a pity that I can't hear you." Claude said coldly, "I think you should see a doctor, and find the best ear doctor."

His words made Shen Ye and Jesse laugh out loud at the same time, and Shen Ye even felt that Claude had a good sense of humor.

However, Barrett became furious, as he was very dissatisfied with Claude's indifference.

"You, don't you care about our planet at all?" He rushed to Claude and yelled at him.

"Instead of caring about the planet, you should care about yourself." Claude glanced at him and said, "For me, making money is more important because money can buy food."

"You..." Barrett became even angrier, but when he was about to continue arguing, the elevator stopped.

Barrett had no choice but to snort coldly and walked out of the elevator.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, the automatic laser cannons mounted high up around them pointed at them.

However, strangely, these laser cannons did not attack them.

"What's going on?" Jesse said in surprise. She was mentally prepared to be attacked and could jump away at high speed at any time to avoid the attack.

"Someone should be helping us." Shen Ye looked around and thought that Scarlett must have tampered with this place. After all, as the head of the weapons department, they were responsible for manufacturing all the weapons and equipment of the entire Shinra Company.

"It seems that some people in Shinra are also dissatisfied with Shinra Company." Barrett did not think much about it, but waved his mechanical right arm excitedly: "Look, this is Shinra that has lost the support of the people. They have done so many bad things that even their own people can't stand it."

Then he shouted to Claude, "Hey, little yellow-haired boy, I suddenly feel that we should discuss the employment fee again. You see, you haven't played a big role."

Claude looked at Barrett calmly, then drew out the huge sword of destruction, suddenly jumped to a high place, and with a few swipes, he dismantled the automatic laser turrets into a pile of parts.

"That doesn't count!" Barrett yelled.

But Claude didn't bother to pay attention to him and just walked forward on his own.

"I won't pay him the full amount." Seeing that Claude ignored him, Barrett said to Shen Ye and Jesse.

"That won't do. The price has already been agreed upon and cannot be changed." Shen Ye said to Barrett, then followed Claude.

"Yes, Shen is right, Barrett, we must be people of integrity!" Jesse said in a very serious tone.

……

Shinra President's Office.

"See, Heidegger? Our automatic defense system actually let the enemy go. Why do you think this happened?" The Shinra president crossed his fingers and supported them in front of his chin, his eyes still fixed on the surveillance video.

Although his tone was calm and there was no expression on his old face, Heidegger, who came back to report the situation to him, still broke out in a cold sweat.

He is the person in charge of maintaining public security at Shinra Corporation. Now that the Mako Reactor has been invaded, the automatic defense system has failed. He is undoubtedly the one who bears the greatest responsibility.

However, he immediately found a way to share his responsibility.

"Mr. President, maybe there is some minor problem with the defense system. I think we should ask Scarlett to take someone to check it out."

"Scarlett is busy with other things recently, so there's no need to disturb her." How could the Shinra president not know what Heidegger was thinking, and a sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Don't make excuses for your dereliction of duty, Heidegger. What you need to do now is to get rid of these lowly rats."

"I'll do it right away, Mr. President." Heidegger wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded.
