Chapter 588 Cleanup

Inside the building, Wu Qi's injuries were gradually recovering. Xu Chan stood opposite him, but did not move forward easily.

Wu Qi's spiritual power was being released in waves, forcing him to concentrate and defend his own spirit, which also made it difficult for him to draw power from another world.

Even if ordinary heart energy could hit him, it would still be slightly insufficient for damage. When he hit him just now, he discovered that, not only was Wu Qi's exoskeleton solid, but his internal mutant muscle fibers also possessed extremely high strength and elasticity, giving him a strong resistance to force, not to mention his exceptional repair ability.

Although he could cause considerable damage to the enemy by himself, it was impossible for him to take it down directly. And judging from the intentions of the rear, it seemed that he did not need to do so. He only needed to delay it for a certain period of time.

He doesn't need to know the specific plans behind the scenes, he just needs to execute as required.

The missing tissues in Wu Qi's regenerative membrane gradually grew out. After a while, the damaged parts of his body, such as the broken bones, also healed, and the whole body seemed to be brand new.

At this moment, the row of compound eyes that grew back on its face and chest were all staring at Xu Chan. There was no doubt that the latter was the person who posed the greatest threat to it in the field.

Xu Chan stared at it without avoiding it. His mental strength was like a reef resisting the waves of attacks from the opposite side. At this time, footsteps were heard behind him. It turned out that several team members who had just been beaten out came to stand behind him.

The injuries on their bodies were also recovered by releasing their essence and blood.

Captain Wang looked up and warned, "Captain Xu, it's almost time to get your weapons ready."

Xu Chan said, "Don't worry, I've already sent the stuff over, it should be here by now."

As he was speaking, two loud bangs were heard from the square outside. It turned out to be an approaching airship in the sky dropping two boxes from above.

The only pioneer team member left in the square walked up.

Different tools and equipment are needed to deal with different types of active consciousnesses. They didn't know Wu Qi's background before, but now after testing, they have a pretty good understanding of him, so they can use targeted weapons.

He slapped the two boxes open, revealing a special large net and some ropes tied with short spears. He grabbed these things and walked directly into the building.

"Captain Xu, I've brought the stuff."

As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and the ropes and the big net fell into the hands of several people present. Once they got the things, they all became determined and their confidence increased greatly.

They stared at Wu Qi. The two pairs of legs under this creature could move freely forward, backward, left and right, and its compound eyes and sensory organs were distributed almost all over its body. There were almost no blind spots. Logically speaking, if such an organism moved, its lethality and attack power would be at least several times greater.

But up to now, no matter how they attacked, it refused to leave its position, almost allowing them to hit it like a target, which completely gave up its advantage.

It was obvious that they only wanted to block the rear entrance, because the most important people in the Ferris Wheel Company should be behind the entrance, and in order to protect these people, they could not evacuate there, so they could take advantage of this.

Xu Chan grabbed a short spear and pulled the specially made long rope on it, but felt that its toughness and strength were unsatisfactory.

In fact, it would be best to use Yang Shen's Dragon-Twisting Rope. You just need someone to hold it in front, and as long as he completes the ritual of the technique, he can be easily trapped.

Even if this consciousness could break free, it would not be possible in a moment. This period of time was enough for them to impose more restraints.

But now that the person is gone, we have to make do with tools.

At this moment, he clenched his five fingers, raised his head, and regardless of the mental impact that was constantly coming from the opposite side, a faint light flashed in his hand, and he threw it fiercely towards the opposite side.

Wu Qi dodged immediately after seeing his move, but the attack came too fast, and in order to ensure the success rate, Xu Chan rushed forward while throwing. When it just turned sideways, the short spear had already penetrated its body and wedged deeply into the ground behind it with a thud.

At the same time as Xu Chan made his move, Lu and Wang behind him also each held a corner of the big net, then jumped forward and covered the open net from their side.

Wu Qi had instinctively dodged, but at this moment the captain with the small mustache suddenly stepped forward and assisted Xu Chan, who was a little dizzy due to the impact of the mental power, to grab the rope, making it impossible for him to get away immediately.

Although it struggled and the short spear embedded in the ground was pulled out a bit with a bang, it was still a step too slow and was covered by the big net.

Then, everyone just needs to hammer the spears at each corner of the net into the ground to further restrict its movement.

But at this time, an unexpected change occurred in Wu Qi's body. Sharp bone blades suddenly sprouted from the area covered by the exoskeleton on his shoulders like flowers, supporting the large net. Then his shoulders extended outward in an exaggerated manner, and with a few hissing sounds, the special net was torn apart a little.

Seeing this, the last team member who stayed immediately picked up a short spear, ready to continue to restrain it while it had no way to escape. But at this time, Wu Qi let out a strong roar, and a spirit stronger than just now rushed out, causing him and the others to have a brain shake, and their movements slowed down involuntarily.

And in just such a brief moment, Wu Qi completely tore the net apart, causing their attempt to fail.

At the same time, above the submarine under the building, several directors of the Ferris wheel were nervous for a while when they saw Wu Qi being covered by the net. Then they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wu Qi had successfully escaped.

But everyone could see that Wu Qi seemed too passive if it continued like this, and the correct approach was to let it move freely, but at the moment no one seemed willing to bring up this topic.

Director Yingwei then said, "There's been no news from the shore yet. It's very likely they've been intercepted. I think we need to send another team to try."

The directors thought about it and agreed.

After so long, there was still no response from above. It was very likely that Director Yingwei was right, and sending another team would not be a wrong decision, so the decision was quickly passed.

After receiving this order, Guan Shangjing could only pull out six people from the 20-man garrison around him, and then let them and another 10 armed security guards continue to go around from the bottom of the sea to the shore.

After he confirmed his decision, Director Yingwei said, "Gentlemen, my opinion is that we should leave here temporarily. We are restricting Wu Qi's performance here."

One director immediately objected: "But it's not safe outside. It's hard to know what will happen after we leave. I don't agree to leave here."

Another director said as a matter of course: "Wu Qi exists to ensure our safety. If we are asked to go to an unsafe place, then what is the point of Wu Qi?"

"What an impolite proposal, Director Yingwei! You are putting the lives of the other directors in danger."

Facing the accusations, Director Yingwei leaned forward in his seat and said earnestly, "Please don't worry, directors. I actually have a solution that will properly resolve this issue."

The director sitting in the main seat signaled for everyone to be quiet and said solemnly, "What proposal does Director Yingwei have? If it's reasonable, I'm sure the directors will adopt it."

Director Yingwei slowly raised his head, a strange look on his face. "It's very simple. If you are all gone, Wuqi will have nothing to protect. Then of course it won't be blocking the way and can move freely."

"Takao, what are you talking about!"

"Don't make such an inappropriate joke!"

Some directors thought he was talking nonsense, but some directors became alert and reached out to secretly press the alarm. If something was wrong, they would call people in immediately.

Director Yingwei sat there, his eyes becoming even more peculiar: "Don't you think this is the right thing to do, fellow directors?"

A director shouted sternly, "Eagle Tail, I told you, this is not a place for jokes!"

Director Yingwei smiled and said, "I am talking to you all very seriously." At this moment, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the wall behind him, and the originally bright lights in the conference room suddenly dimmed.

A director who was closer to him stood up in shock, "You're not Eagle Tail..."

As he said that, he knocked down the alarm with a punch, then stood up and ran towards the door. However, he fell to the ground after just two steps. His two feet had twisted together and now looked like a mess. He couldn't help but scream in pain.

There was one director who was very fierce and seemed to have practiced martial arts. He pulled out the long sword beside him, shouted loudly, jumped onto the conference table, and slashed at the Eagle Tail Director on the head.

However, after only taking two steps forward, he was horrified to find that he had actually put away the knife and placed the blade against his neck. Then he slashed it with such force that he almost cut his neck off.

Except for the director who was still sitting calmly in the main seat, the rest of the directors stood up and retreated in fear. "You, you are not Director Yingwei."

Director Yingwei said with a mysterious smile on his face, "I am. How could I not be?"

As he spoke, the directors' hands and feet began to become uncontrollable. They grabbed their necks in horror and twisted them with such force that their faces were twisted onto their backs, and then fell down one by one.

The director in the main seat stared at him. "Are you "He"? What exactly do you want to do?"

Director Yingwei smiled and said, "That's great! I can reduce the burden on Ferris Wheel Company, and Wu Qi can also fight without restrictions."

The director managed to remain calm at this moment: "Actually, we can cooperate..."

Suddenly his expression changed, and his hand trembled as he raised it. There was a gun in it, which he slowly raised and pointed at his head.

His face flushed red, veins popped out on his neck, as if he was trying to stop himself, but it was no use. His hand remained firmly raised, and then he pulled the trigger.

Director Yingwei watched with a smile. After a gunshot, the body opposite him fell on the conference table. At this moment, apart from him, there were only dead bodies on the ground in the conference room.
