Li Zuzhang stopped and looked at the scene on the other side of the portal. Indeed, the three raptors on the other side of the portal were looking around, their gazes occasionally cast this way. But they seemed oblivious to the portal itself. After a few seconds, the three raptors seemed to have spotted some sort of food in the distance and left.
"Those three dinosaurs are gone," Xiao Qian said.
Everyone lowered their guard.
What had just happened was too shocking for Li Zuzhang and his team. This was completely supernatural. A portal had never appeared in history.
Li Zuzhang sat down again. His upbringing had taught him that portals were impossible. Only deities in transit could create such things. But Li Zuzhang did not believe in deities. He was an atheist.
Li Zuzhang calmed himself and immediately thought that this was exactly as Su Han had said. This portal could indeed bring about earth-shattering changes to Dragon Country. If Dragon Country could obtain the resources of the otherworldly realm beyond the portal, the famine problem could be immediately solved. And with abundant resources, Dragon Country's ascent would go from a hot air balloon to a rocket. At that point, they wouldn't need to fear even if the Lighthouse Country united the world against Dragon Country. And if this other world was inhabited by intelligent life, it would be even more remarkable.
This other world would become Dragon Country's second home!
Thinking of this, Li Zuzhang's heart began to pound with excitement.
Li Zuzhang looked back at the other Dragon Security Bureau staff. The other Dragon Security Bureau staff were also brimming with excitement and passion. Clearly, these young people were thinking along the same lines as Li Zuzhang.
But Li Zuzhang was middle-aged. As a team leader in the Dragon Security Bureau, he couldn't afford to be as impassioned as a young man. His rationality quickly brought him back to a calm state. Li Zuzhang began to consider other aspects.
First, Li Zuzhang began to doubt. The portal was amazing, but what if it was fake? What if they had all fallen into a hallucination?
Li Zuzhang decided to verify it. So, he calmed himself and asked in a steady tone:
"Is the other side of this portal truly another world? And a world with dinosaurs? This is too unbelievable. We need to verify if this portal is real! If this is just a hallucination you've created for us, then you will face imprisonment!"
Su Han spread his hands and said, "Director Li, I don't know illusions. Whether it's real or fake, can't we just go and see for ourselves in that other world?"
Li Zuzhang shook his head and said, "No, not yet. What if the world on the other side is also an illusion? We need to verify that it's not an illusion first."
Verifying an illusion? Su Han became interested. He wondered how this Dragon Security Bureau would verify it.
The Dragon Security Bureau had relevant tutorials on verifying illusions. The simplest method was the pain test.
Li Zuzhang raised his hand and scratched the back of his other palm with his fingernails. Some pain emerged.
The other young staff members also performed the same action.
After confirming he felt pain, Li Zuzhang asked, "What about you all?"
"I feel pain."
"I feel pain too."
"Yes."
...
Every staff member felt pain.
Next, Xiao Qian went to the camera that had been recording and took a look.
"The camera can also capture that portal."
Su Han had indeed witnessed the Dragon Security Bureau's method. It seemed that some methods seen on television were not entirely fabricated.
"Now that you know it's not a hallucination, let's go and experience that other world! Oh, by the way, there are dinosaurs there. Director Li, you should bring some guns for self-defense!" Su Han said.
The first time Su Han opened the portal, he saw the three raptors on the other side. Su Han was immediately scared away by them! After all, it would be very easy for those three raptors to tear apart an ordinary person like him.
The main mission given to him by the portal system was to defeat the strongest creatures in the other world. Su Han knew that he couldn't complete this main mission alone at the moment. So, Su Han had not gone to the other side yet.
Li Zuzhang asked, "Mr. Su Han, have you been to the other world?"
Su Han shook his head and said, "As soon as I opened the portal, I saw those three raptors. So I haven't been there yet."
Li Zuzhang's excitement immediately surged. Su Han hadn't gone there yet. That meant those who entered next would be the first. If history were to be deciphered later, these first individuals to enter the other world would be recorded in the history books!
"Apply for heavy weaponry and air detectors immediately! Our Dragon Security Bureau will be the first to enter the other world!" Li Zuzhang stood up and shouted.
At this moment, in an office at the Dragon Security Ministry, Minister Zhuge Diànliú was handling some documents. Among these were some top-secret documents that needed to be processed and secretly stored immediately, so Zhuge Diànliú had to allocate time each day to deal with them.
As Zhuge Diànliú was handling these matters, a hurried knock sounded at the door.
Zhuge Diànliú immediately became alert. Could such an urgent knocking signify a major event?
Zhuge Diànliú put the confidential documents on his desk into the safe, then said, "Come in!"
Zhuge Diànliú pressed a button next to his desk.
The door opened automatically.
A figure hurried in. He was also carrying a briefcase.
The person who entered was Liu Jiu, the director of the Dragon Capital Dragon Security Bureau.
Zhuge Diànliú said, "Old Liu, why aren't you at the Dragon Capital Bureau? What brings you here!"
"Boss, something big is about to happen. It's hard to explain right now. Take a look at this!" Liu Jiu said with a solemn expression, opening the briefcase and then turning on a camera.
Seeing the camera, Zhuge Diànliú immediately realized there must be a major secret inside. Because Liu Jiu could have simply brought the memory card, but he brought the entire camera. This meant the content inside was not suitable for transfer to another computer. Not even for Zhuge Diànliú, the head of the Dragon Security, to view on his own computer.
Zhuge Diànliú also became solemn.
"Is it the highest level of secrecy inside??"
"That's right, and it's the highest secret in Dragon Country's history!" Liu Jiu said with a serious expression, opening the camera's screen and starting to play the footage.
Meanwhile, at the Dragon Capital Dragon Security Bureau, some elite agents were on guard in front of an interrogation room.
