With what they had experienced, this number of Heartless was just childs play.

Without a word, Long Yuehong walked past the employees and arrived at the elevator door, dragging out the Heartless corpses.

They were still wearing their work clothes.

After taking a look at the corpses, Long Yuehong held the door open and said to Bai Chen and his parents, Hurry!

The few employees from the Supplies Allocation Market came to their senses and didnt dare to s.n.a.t.c.h a spot from the Long family of four. They allowed them to enter the elevator.

You guys come in too, Long Yuehong said to the employees after his parents were in.

Several employees in the Supplies Allocation Market kept quiet out of fear. They lowered their heads slightly, entered the elevator, and stood against the wall.

Bai Chen then pressed the b.u.t.ton that led to the 649th floor.

The 650th floor required swiping an electronic card with the necessary clearance. Currently, one could only reach the 649th floor before using the emergency access.

Although there were definitely roadblocks and guards in the emergency access, the latter had probably fled long ago. The former had most likely been overturned or destroyed by the batches of people who had fled to the surface.

The carriage door quickly closed, and the elevator began to move upward. It only stopped at the fifth floor before it was full.

In Master Zhuangs mind world.

Eidolon Nun, Dawn, Mandara, and the other Kalendarium were rus.h.i.+ng toward the core area filled with machines. However, they traveled for a long time and pa.s.sed room after room, but they didnt see their destination. It was as if they were walking in circles.

Eidolon Nunwho had been keeping herself in the dark the entire timefelt vigilant as she shouted sternly, Shattered Mirror, is that you?

A voice with a hint of sorrow replied, Its me.

You want to kill yourself too? Dawns voice was ethereal like a dream.

In their senses, Shattered Mirrors consciousness alternated between left and right, disappearing and splitting into many. Clearly, none of them were real.

Shattered Mirror sighed softly. Ive long wanted to kill myself. When I was young, I would feel heartbroken for a long time if my pet rabbits were to die, much less kill one person after another with my own hands.

I could only numb myself by saying, everything is a dream; why so serious? I havent tried ending my life because the president told me that we have to atone for our previous mistakes and end this calamity completely. Now, this opportunity has finally arrived.

The voice of Shattered Mirror came from all directions, making it impossible to figure out where she was hiding.

In the room where the supercomputerOmegawas located, on the lowest floor of the underground building.

An electronic voice sounded: Director Ji, nearly one-third of the employees have fled the company. Please make up your mind as soon as possible.

As an AI, Omega didnt have the authority to do certain things while Ji Ze was still alive. If Ji Ze died and there was no designated operator, it could deal with the situation according to the situation.

The number one-ranking vice president of Pangu Biology, Ji Ze, pushed his gold-rimmed gla.s.ses up his nose and fell silent for a few seconds.

My orders are for the elevators to stop

As the broadcast had stopped, he didnt block his ears any further.

Just as Ji Ze finished speaking, he suddenly frowned. He felt intense pain in his heart!

Ji Ze collapsed to the ground, and his gradually blurring vision saw a familiar figure walk in. That was a board director, Su Yu, who was in charge of the Security Department.

Why The dying Ji Ze could only say one word. Then, he lost his life.

Su Yuwho was wearing gray camouflagelooked down at his colleague and sneered. Were you asking why?

His expression gradually turned solemn and stern. I later blocked my ears but had some doubts about the broadcast, so I sneaked here to investigate. Who knew that it would really be true? You and Big Boss really treat everyone as livestock.

He then cast his gaze at the side door and laughed self-deprecatingly. I know its impossible for me to survive in front of the Kalendaria, but my old team leader told me on the first day I joined the Security Department that our mission was to protect everyone. If theres anyone to blame, its myself for rising up the ranks of the Security Department!

As Su Yu spoke, he took out a high-performance grenade he had obtained from somewhere, removed the pin, and threw it at the supercomputer, Omega.

His primary goal was to destroy this AI that could interrupt the elevators operations!

Omega didnt have a weapon system to begin with, and it didnt have the time to summon other guards. It could only watch the grenade fly at it.

It didnt show any emotion and only reminded Su Yu, If Im destroyed

Boom!

A violent explosion wrecked the supercomputer, and the remnants of Omega echoed through the areas loudspeaker: The self-destruct sequence for the entire underground building has begun. In ten minutes, this place will become a sealed tomb.

Su Yuwho had rolled to avoid the blastwas stunned for a moment and didnt speak for a long time. When Omegas voice subsided, he looked down at the parts scattered everywhere and chuckled. This is good too. Ill do my best and leave it up to fate. At least I bought everyone an additional ten minutes.

Su Yu didnt make the best use of his time to escape. Instead, he walked to the side rooms door and sat cross-legged with his back to it and his face facing out.

He appeared as though he was protecting Big Boss, who was inside.
