Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 710: Troublemaker
"That's good. We just need to send someone to guard the bedroom door. As for the monster in the corridor, we only need to wait for seventy-two hours and it will die on its own. Asano Akira, is it okay for me to give this task to you?"
Asano Akira nodded silently.
"It's not enough to just guard the bedroom door," the heretic sect's instructor seemed determined to turn against them, "In the Chamber of Commerce's basement, there's a dark room with a mature 'seed' locked inside... It's the boss's pet."
"What?" Ke Lan's heart skipped a beat. There was actually a mature fusion creature hidden in the Nova Chamber of Commerce?
" Didn't you say that among the first two batches of seeds, none of them could survive after being removed from the container?" Aya asked anxiously.
A mature fusion, and the BOSS's pet... God knows what it has eaten... Its actual combat capability is far beyond that of the disgusting but not actually too terrifying mass of limbs in the corridor outside.
"Mark the boss's bedroom and the room where the monster is locked up on the map." Ke Lan said.
Aya immediately projected the architectural structure diagram of the New Star Chamber of Commerce in front of the instructor.
Unexpectedly, the instructor frowned when he looked at the structural diagram, shook his head and said, "The structural diagram in your hand is wrong... The building of the New Star Chamber of Commerce was rebuilt a long time ago... Especially the two underground floors, which were rebuilt the most."
"How is that possible? For commercial buildings like this, the urban construction department conducts routine annual inspections every March. If the renovations are illegal, the offender will be fined or even have their business license revoked... How did you manage to hide this from the inspectors?"
"The Chamber of Commerce bribed those who were sent to inspect... The reason is very simple. The Chamber of Commerce's warehouse was short of reserves, so they expanded the underground part a bit - the exaggerated part was originally the foundation of the detachable part, and the highest standard of load-bearing materials were used during the expansion, so there would be no problem with safety... Therefore, those inspectors who took the money did not pursue the matter any further..." the instructor replied.
"These termites..." Aya gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Even if the two underground floors have been rebuilt, it should be based on this structural diagram. You just need to point out the two places to us roughly." Ke Lan said as she helped the other party reconnect the dislocated arm joint and injected him with a painkiller as a "reward" for his cooperation with the interrogation.
"At the northernmost end of the first underground floor, there is a space that is about fifty to sixty meters deep. This part belongs to the boss' bedroom. Under normal circumstances, members of the Chamber of Commerce are strictly prohibited from entering. This and this are the boss' office and meeting room. Of course, you are not prohibited from entering without the boss's permission." The instructor raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at the holographic projection with a stiff finger. "The dark room where the boss's pet is locked up is on the second underground floor, about this position...but I have never been close to it."
He took a deep breath and continued, "I'm not sure if the secret room is locked, and I have no idea if that thing can come in and out freely... I only know that the employees who go to deliver food to that thing will most likely not be able to get out."
"Is it possible that the person responsible for delivering the food is also part of the food?" Ke Lan imitated an old dog and rubbed the stubble on his chin. "Then this monster should be the only destabilizing factor in this operation."
"There is one more thing. Is there any kind of telepathic connection between your BOSS and this monster?" Ke Lan asked again, "For example, if we accidentally startle this monster and then fight it, will the BOSS also be awakened?"
"This... I don't know about this." The instructor of the heretic sect shook his head repeatedly.
Ke Lan did not doubt the truthfulness of the instructor's words... Given his status, the possibility of him knowing such a thing was indeed small.
The former second-in-command who planned the attack might know something, but that guy has already been fed the fusion body by the BOSS.
Ke Lan estimated that he couldn't get any more information out of her, so he asked Aya to remove the soundproof barrier and stood up. "I plan to organize a special agent team to raid the Nova Chamber of Commerce building, and we will go directly to the basement to prevent anyone from entering the bedroom to wake up the boss... As for the fusion larvae and the other three seeds, let the people from the research institute and the crisis management department handle them."
"I think it's okay—"
Before Aya finished her words, there was a loud sound of helicopter propellers turning above her head. At the same time, the guards downstairs suddenly became a commotion.
"What's going on?" Ke Lan looked at Aya, "Is it you who called ?"
"No." Aya rejected it flatly, "I haven't sent out !"
"Let's go up and take a look." Ke Lan grabbed the instructor and rushed to the rooftop, and the other two quickly followed.
As it passed by the fusion larva, the monster pounced towards them, but was tripped by the extra limbs in its lower body and fell heavily to the ground.
Asano Akito had already drawn his sword from its sheath, but then put it back again.
"This is going to be a negative effect mutation..." Ke Lan complained casually and ran towards the stairs leading to the top floor without looking back.
Several people quickly rushed to the roof, and saw several "Little Bird" helicopters painted all black without any markings hovering above the Nova Chamber of Commerce building. Dozens of armed men wearing black combat uniforms, black tactical helmets and black masks, with no identification symbols on their clothes, were rappelled from the helicopters.
Some of them landed directly on the roof, while others were hung on the side of the building by ropes. After using blasting equipment to blow up the glass curtain wall, they swung into the interior of the building.
"There are some downstairs too!" Aya shared the camera footage on Ke Lan's glasses, and saw several black hovercrafts parked in front of the gate of the New Star Chamber of Commerce. One of the armored off-road vehicles crashed directly into the gate - the black-clad armed men who got off these vehicles raised their guns and shot at the employees in the New Star Chamber of Commerce.
The gunshots immediately triggered a violent riot, with countless civilians running around in the streets and many people being thrown to the ground...but these men in black completely turned a blind eye to this, and there were no auxiliary troops to help them evacuate people and maintain order outside.
"Where did these people come from? Who gave them the order? How did they get in from outside? What are they going to do?"
Several questions suddenly popped up in Ke Lan's mind.
