The male Awakened immediately searched for his targets companion, but the elevator lobby was filled with people. How could he tell who was who?

Most importantly, he wasnt familiar with the two targets at all. He had only seen their photos and information at the last minute and knew some of their characteristics.

Compared to the iconic mechanical arm that was still eye-catching even with a sleeve covering it, being a little short was nothing that stood out in the crowd. This was common among the older generation who hadnt had genetic enhancement universalized. In the current situation, it was easy to be blocked by others.

Seeing that the target was about to leave the elevator lobby and find another path, the male Awakened didnt dare to be negligent and immediately used his ability.

Long Yuehongs head grew heavy, and his eyelids turned heavy. He fell asleep and collapsed to the side.

Forced Sleep!

When Bai Chen saw this, not only did she not reach out to help up her husband and think of a way to wake him up, but she even moved her eyebrows and distanced herself from the crowd.

With a thud, Long Yuehong fell to the ground.

n.o.body around him came to check on him; all they could think about was escaping the underground building as soon as possible. For them to circle Long Yuehong and not step on his body was already a showcase of their civic-mindedness.

Seeing a large number of employees rush to the elevator, the two Awakened spent a Herculean effort to squeeze out. This was also the reason why the male Awakened had to forcefully control his target. Otherwise, the other party wouldve long fled by the time they walked out of the elevator lobby.

When they arrived beside Long Yuehong, the two of them looked around warily, searching for the targets female companion. But although a group had just taken the elevator, the place was still filled with employees. Without knowing the target, it was a fools dream if they wanted to discover Bai Chen immediately.

The two Awakened retracted their gazes and looked at each other. They shook their heads, indicating that they had gained nothing.

Pull the target to an empty spot, the tall male Awakened said.

The area around the elevator lobby was too chaotic, and people were coming and going. If the two of them werent careful, they would be ambushed!

According to the information, the targets female companion had a biological prosthetic limb transplanted.

The female Awakened revealed a puzzled expression and pointed at her ear. She wore earplugs, so she couldnt hear what her companion was saying.

The tall male Awakened came to his senses and didnt repeat himself. He squatted down and planned on carrying Long Yuehong, using his actions to tell his companions what to do.

At this moment, he felt dizzy as an obvious pressure acted on his chest. As his heart tightened, he vomited. His limbs turned numb, and his vision turned blurry.

In his vision, his female companion had a similar reaction.

Oh no, were attacked!

The tall male Awakened staggered as he tried to stand up and search for the attacker, but he failed.

According to his judgment, the sneak attack on the two of them shouldnt have just happened. It had already been acting on them in secret for a while, but it had only fully erupted now.

In a moment of desperation, the tall male Awakened ignored the fact that he was surrounded by company employees and planned to use Forced Sleep on everyone. However, it was too late.

His and the female Awakeneds vision turned black as they fainted.

Only then did Bai Chen squeeze out of the crowd and rush to Long Yuehongs side.

Subsonic Attack!

She had deliberately distanced herself and ignored Long Yuehong in order to hide herself and quietly finish off the enemy with Subsonic Attack using the merfolk-like biological prosthetic limb!

As for whether this would affect the other employees, she didnt care.

Under Bai Chens external stimulus, Long Yuehong woke up.

Theres an Awakened! he subconsciously shouted.

Ive knocked them out, Bai Chen replied concisely. Lets go to the other elevator lobbies. The more remote, the better. Lets head up while theres still time and few people fleeing.

Otherwise, more and more employees would want to take the elevator as time pa.s.sed. Most people would have to wait for car after car as the broadcast continued. This could result in something happening with time.

Such a jam was undoubtedly crazier than Pangu Biologys daily rush hour. Even if the underground building had multiple elevator lobbies that could be used normally, there would definitely be situations where force, squeezing, and so on happened.

Alright! Long Yuehong thought for a moment and said, Lets go to the 495th floor first.

That was where his parents lived.

Although Shang Jianyao had promised to focus on Long Dayong, Gu Hong, Long Zhigu, and Long Aihongs workplace and school during the second round of the broadcast, and he would also include their neighbors on the 495th floorwith Long Yuehongs grandparents, and other relatives on the special care listLong Yuehong was still worried.

He was afraid that his parents would be unable to bear leaving the bottles and jars at home despite being affected and having the intention to escape the underground building. If they insisted on returning to pack their belongings before leaving, it might make them miss an opportunity.

They needed Bai Chen and him to protect them in order to escape safely.

Vortex-shaped building, core research zone.

Jiang Baimian was focused on the indicator lights in the experiment capsule. Once a successful notification appeared, she would immediately open the transparent cover, lift Shang Jianyao up, and carry him on her back.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a little dizzy. This was like a precursor to the Heartless disease, but it wasnt that intense.

Jiang Baimian looked around warily and discovered that the flas.h.i.+ng lights on the surrounding machines had frozen. The howling winds in the hall became stronger.
