Chapter 80 [District ] (The most mind-blowing episode so far (ω) )
Just as Link was enthusiastically conducting "research work" with the UEP Mobile Task Force "Victory Team" in the central laboratory of the Titanic,

On the other side, at the border between Nevada and Arizona in the United States,

[Hoover Dam] is like a solid and unbreakable iron tower blocking the turbulent Colorado River.

This huge engineering structure, which is poured with millions of cubic meters of concrete, plays an important role in flood control, irrigation, power generation, shipping, and water supply.
It has also become the best location to hide from others and avoid being noticed.

The Hoover Dam, with its solid and reliable special structure, is also spacious and extensible.

Many years ago, it has undergone many expansions and renovations in order to be used for purposes including but not limited to a "doomsday shelter", "presidential safe house", and "secret laboratory".

But after the establishment of UEP, an organization that is expected to replace SHIELD as the world's first special agency,

The strategic project resources of "Hoover Dam" were naturally allocated to UEP.

After taking over, "Hoover Dam" became the [UEP Site 13 Base Still Water Prison]. For the sake of ease of memory and title, it is also called "Area 13".

As the head of the site, Augustus Blake,
The SHIELD agents who came to exchange learning experiences were smiling and confidently introduced,

"Sector 13 contains and stores multiple anomalous and hazardous objects,"

"Among them, [UEP-011 "Dragon Head Sculpture"] is a special containment item with great research value,"

"It claims to be a fire demon from another world, the Holy Lord, and rules over a planet similar to this one, which also has humans, and one-seventh of its territory."

"He possessed many powerful dark magics, but lost the source of his power - twelve powerful spells."

"At the same time, it has repeatedly used mental bewitching methods to trick the D-class personnel we sent into activating the restraint devices."

"But within the domain of [UEP-009 "Overseer"], there is no doubt that the moment the D-class personnel touched the "switch", their abnormal behavior was discovered."

The SHIELD agent who came to study nodded thoughtfully.

One of the "agents" who looked relatively young and immature, with clear and stupid eyes, suddenly asked,
"What should we do with the D-class personnel who is bewitched by the mind?"

Augustus Blake looked indifferent.

"Of course, I was put on the 'purification procedure'. 7.62mm IV push injection."

"After all, his existence is bound to be an unstable factor. He may be a time bomb that could explode at any time, endangering the safety of the base."

Hearing Blake's words, some slightly sentimental SHIELD agents frowned slightly and couldn't help but refute.

"Isn't this a bit inhumane?"

Clearing his throat, Augustus Blake remained expressionless, like a machine, and responded with a long list of standard answers:
"We target all kinds of criminals from all over the world: serious criminals, those who have escaped punishment, and the most vicious ones, and selectively select them to join our UEP."

"He doesn't want to be a D-class personnel. There are plenty of people who can do that."

"We provide the most humane and humanitarian standards,"

"We provide three meals a day for all D-class personnel. At 8 o'clock every morning, they will be awakened from their sleep, and then have a routine meal and morning exercise and jogging,"

"D-class personnel who do not need to perform experiments on anomalous items will be given quite free time for recreation. We will try our best to meet their needs within certain limits."

"PS5, Xbox, Steam platform, women... As long as they don't trigger the restrictions we set and the requirements are too outrageous, almost everything the D-class personnel ask for can be met." "Every night at : on time, all D-class personnel who do not need to perform abnormal project experiments must return to their respective cells on time, turn off the lights and go to sleep."

"On average, we will conduct a comprehensive physical examination on D-class personnel every three days, which includes no less than psychological construction guidance, physical health, personality subconsciousness..."

"Of course, considering the comfortable environment in the base, many D-class personnel may develop paranoia, flee the base, end their own lives, and fall into a vortex of nihilism."

"After many attempts, we have successfully mastered a not-so-mature "short-term memory deletion/shielding technology". We will regularly perform "memory deletion" on D-class personnel suspected of having similar tendencies to ensure their healthy mental state."

"So, now you still think our actions are inhumane?"

After hearing Blake's lengthy introduction, the SHIELD agents were shocked and confused.

"Is this...right or wrong?"

Seeing that everyone seemed to be in a low mood, Augustus Blake responded quickly and changed the subject in time.
"Next, I will show you [UEP-008 "Unknown Mechanical Lifeform"], which we dug out from under the Arctic glacier,"

"You should have some impression of this abnormal project. After all, when our task force discovered this abnormal project, they also found Captain America Steve Rogers buried under the glacier."

Led by Blake, the group came to a laboratory deep underground.
Researchers in white and blue uniforms and engineers in black and gray uniforms shuttled back and forth. The crowd was dense, and everyone was
The most eye-catching thing is the huge "ice sculpture" that is several meters high.
The pale white cold air continued to leak out and spread. Through the dark blue solid ice layer, a hideous mechanical head could be vaguely seen.

A large number of dense cables and mechanical devices are connected to the exposed structure of [UEP-008], and the engineers rushing back and forth below are more like ants living around it.

"We found some unknown code programs remaining on the [Unknown Mechanical Lifeform], which were compiled in a language that we cannot understand."

"But fortunately, our engineers accidentally found a way to compile this language, and we conducted some experiments,"

"And successfully created a strong artificial intelligence similar to Mr. Tony Stark's "Jarvis."

"Please allow me to introduce to you Skynet."

"It chose this name itself. We have reason to fully believe that it is already the most powerful artificial intelligence in the world."

While Blake was talking, the "Agent of SHIELD" next to him raised another question.
"What if there's an attack here? I mean the kind of external attack that might happen."

Blake smiled confidently and waved his hand.

"No way, absolutely impossible."

"District 13 is the safest place in the world. I can guarantee that."

"Oh, really……"

The "agent" continued to speak, but his throat seemed to be stuck, and his gentle voice immediately changed to a hoarse mechanical voice with a strong sense of disdain.
"Stupid humans!"

The figure of the "Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D." flickered, and the outer layer of disguise was removed, and finally it turned into a humanoid mechanical monster with a slender body.
"How did you get in?!"

Blake was shocked and looked incredulous, while trying to stall for time.
"Of course, I came in through the stairs, hahahaha..."

The mocking mechanical voice echoed in everyone's ears, but the next voice made them feel as if they were falling into an icy cave.
"All Decepticons, attention! All Decepticons, attention!"

"We found Lord Megatron!"
