As the gates closed, shielding force fields were activated simultaneously.
These shielding devices are more than enough to block the Sophon's surveillance and to deal with the signal transmitters in the hands of representatives from various countries.
The representative of the Willpower was the first to react. He immediately ordered the clone army beside him to attack the gates en masse.
However, these gates were all made of second-generation nanomaterials developed by Wang Miao. When a bullet hit them, it would leave a hole, but the hole would be repaired very quickly, and the bullet that had been fired would be forced out.
Seeing that they could not cause any harm, the representatives of the 12 European countries became anxious and hurriedly tried to contact the outside world through various means.
They discovered that the underground city was like a prison built specifically for them, and all their means of communication were ineffective there.
Representatives from several other countries were also trapped at the same time.
In the New York underground city, the American representative simply picked up a handheld electric drill from the ground, aimed it at the door in front of him, and pressed the switch.
"Buzz!"
The drill bit rubbed rapidly against the metal door, sparking bursts of sparks that were dazzling in the dim underground city.
"Hey, gentlemen, don't get agitated. That thing is made of nanomaterials and is wrapped in a layer of meteorite. Your actions are completely futile."
Just as the American representative was struggling to break through the door, a voice that everyone was very familiar with rang out from afar.
Everyone present turned around and saw a tall figure slowly approaching them from the darkness in the distance.
As they gradually saw the person's face clearly, everyone's pupils contracted.
"Radiaz...you're still alive!"
The person who came was none other than the Wallfacer, Rediaz, who had already been named and executed by the PDC.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Radiaz couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What, are you surprised to see me?"
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the American representative.
“Mr. Felix, it has been almost twenty years since we last met. I am so glad to see you again. I still remember the scene when you ordered my execution when we parted. It is a very memorable moment.”
The expression on the American representative's face at this moment was quite interesting, from initial shock to doubt, and now to a slightly mocking smile.
"Rediaz, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still haven't learned your lesson. Since you were able to escape this calamity twenty years ago, you should live the rest of your life like a mouse with its tail between its legs, instead of appearing openly in front of a cat."
As Felix, representing the US, spoke, he took a pistol from his pocket and aimed it at Diaz.
"Although I can't get out, killing you is as easy as turning my hand."
Just as the hawk representative was about to pull the trigger, Reginazi slowly raised his hand, revealing a watch on his wrist.
In the darkness, the graph displayed on the watch was clearly visible, like the only light in this underground city.
"What is this?" another representative asked.
“I am honored to introduce this invention to you, which I have named the ‘Cradle’ System,” said Radiaz, pointing his watch at the crowd so they could see it more clearly.
Only then did everyone realize that what was displayed on the watch was not a graph, but an electrocardiogram.
"This is a reverse trigger device that continuously emits signals to monitor my heartbeat, blood pressure, and various physical indicators. It analyzes this data, and if it detects any abnormalities, such as if I die, it will immediately stop emitting signals, just like a baby waking up when the cradle stops cradle."
“What would happen if we stopped?” one of the delegates asked.
Rediaz smiled.
"I have no idea. After all, I've never seen what the effect of detonating a stellar-class hydrogen bomb would be."
Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
"You connected this thing to a stellar-class hydrogen bomb? You're insane... No, wait!"
One of the representatives immediately realized what was happening.
"You're lying. This place is completely blocked. It can't send out any signals at all. This thing can't possibly be like what you're saying."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood.
"That's right, if we can't send a signal, why should you be able to?"
"Isn't this obviously a scam?"
"Sure enough, even the most meticulous plans can have flaws. Radijaz ultimately failed because of his carelessness, just like his failed Wallfacer plan back then." Some people had already stopped panicking and began to mock Radijaz.
Upon hearing this, Rediaz couldn't help but applaud.
"Not bad. I thought PDC was full of good-for-nothings. It's not easy to think of that."
"But...who said I had to send signals out?"
"What do you mean?"
"The meaning is very simple: do you think it's possible for me to have buried this stellar-class hydrogen bomb in this underground city?"
Everyone was shocked again.
"Damn it, are you out of your mind? That's a stellar-level hydrogen bomb! You buried it under New York City? Do you want half of America to be buried with you?"
“What’s wrong with that, Mr. Felix? Perhaps the world will be a little more peaceful because of it?”
"Radiaz, what exactly do you want?" Felix asked angrily.
"No, this shouldn't be asked of me, but of you all, of the entire PDC. What exactly are you trying to do?"
"Ha, what's wrong with us? Hasn't the PDC been fighting against the Trisolaran civilization all along?"
"Oh, really? But I have a feeling that you're slaughtering humans. If it weren't for you PDCs, humanity wouldn't be in this miserable state now, would it?"
“Arguing about this is pointless. You are committing a crime against humanity. Even if you kill us, your infamy will be recorded in future history books.”
"Don't worry, history books are written for the victors, and I will definitely outlive you all."
Meanwhile, the same scene was unfolding in two other underground cities.
Inside the Los Angeles underground city, the two representatives and a group of reporters attending the launch ceremony were all completely bewildered.
"Is this... part of the launch ceremony?" Everyone looked at Chang Weisi, who was on the high platform.
Chang Weisi sighed and pointed to a tea table next to him.
"Welcome, everyone, to China. We Chinese have an old saying:"
"They come, the security."
"However, many people have now misinterpreted the true meaning of this statement. It does not refer to a self-comforting psychological state, but rather to:"
"Now that I have recruited you all, I should do my duty as a host and settle you all in."
However, he did not speak in English, so the Russian representative did not understand and had to ask the island nation representative next to him.
"What did he mean?"
The island nation representative thought for a moment.
“He said that since we’ve come, we should be buried here.”
