Major Carlson heard Adam call him out and, although he couldn't help but feel intimidated, it was the perfect opportunity to take him down.
He could use Adam waltzing into the military base as a valid reason to take him down using the power of the Cultivator Defence Base and it would also allow him to use the defensive weaponry of the base.
"Calling all cultivators in this Cultivator Defence Base. There is a powerful intruder. Bring out all the weaponry and begin Operation Z Alert,"
Major Carlson's message resounded throughout the Cultivator Defence Base that was underground.
Although he didn't have the clearance to make such large-scale orders, in the situation of a Z Alert, he was able to do so.
The entire military base entered a state of lockdown where all the soldiers that were conscious were ordered to return indoors and prepare for further instruction.
