Chapter 22 Total Annihilation
The elevator descended, and from time to time, one could hear panicked whispers from certain floors; everyone was gripped by fear.
Because the internet was down, the outside of the building was frozen, and a barrier blocked all mental energy attempting to explore outwards.
Matt had been using his mental power to restrain the two vice ministers, but he overlooked the honest-looking, cowardly man in his early thirties who had appeared weak from the beginning.
When the elevator stopped at the fifth basement level, he followed the short man out of the elevator, but he stumbled and crashed into the heavy metal door in front of him.
At the same time, he struggled fiercely and pressed his finger hard into an inconspicuous circular indentation next to the metal door.
Then he stared at the ceiling with excitement, his eyes revealing an undisguised ruthlessness.
"Heh! Are you waiting for the poisonous fog to come out? Too bad, you won't live to see it!" Bo Yiyan said, looking at him with a mocking expression.
The two deputy ministers were being far too cooperative. Although they might have been frightened by the minister's dazed appearance, Bo Yiyan still couldn't completely believe it.
So after entering the elevator, he first sent Qiansi to the fifth basement level to conduct a comprehensive inspection.
Sure enough, Qian Si reported to him that there was some poisonous powder hidden in the ceiling of the fifth basement level. Without waiting for the master's instructions, it put it into its space.
The master is a pharmacist who often concocts poisons; we might need to use them.
So after the deputy minister put on this show, Bo Yiyan stood aside, waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
After waiting for a full half minute, the poisonous mist still hadn't been released. The deputy minister was in utter despair and wanted to commit suicide, but it was too late.
Enraged, Matt used the most devastating method, reading his memories while destroying all his brain nerves.
The short deputy minister saw his colleague look dazed, foam at the mouth, and collapse to the ground.
The next second, he vanished without a trace. In fact, it was Bo Yiyan who commanded Qian Si to devour him completely.
It's a B+ level after all, equivalent to the peak of the seventh rank on Green Algae Star. Such a high-level ability user is rare. Swallowing it would be a great tonic, so we can't waste it.
Previously in the mining area, the 11 B-grade monsters that were frozen were all given to Qian Si as nourishment, and now it is almost back to the ninth rank.
Bo Yiyan was extremely envious. Those 11 people died too quickly, their life force dissipated, and he didn't have time to absorb them.
He only dared to secretly suck some of the overseers he had killed in the mining area; he didn't dare to suck them dry, otherwise it would scare the miners, and if word got out, it would be even worse—he would become an enemy of humanity.
This secret was only known to Zuo Shan; no one else knew it. Even Xiao Bai only knew that he could devour the life force of plants, but he didn't know that he could also devour the life force of animals and humans.
To put it bluntly, he is very similar to Qian Si. The difference is that Qian Si directly strangles animals and humans, grinds their bones and blood into powder, and then absorbs it.
He, on the other hand, can directly devour the life force of all things; he is more like a devil than Qian Si.
However, he won't use this trump card easily unless he's forced into a corner.
The short deputy minister was now filled with hatred for his colleague. Knowing full well that the other party could launch a mental attack, he still insisted on fighting a losing battle, thinking himself clever by activating the poisonous fog when no one was looking, intending to take everyone down with him. However, his plot was exposed beforehand.
This is terrible; he might die a horrible death.
Then he heard the psychic with the refined yet scoundrel-like appearance speak: "Are you planning to voluntarily put on the suppression ring, or go underground to keep your colleague company?"
"My lord, I, Hua Jingyishu, am willing to be your most loyal slave!" The short man knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.
Hana Keisuke, who had lost his memory, frowned. Although he had no memory, he was still disgusted by this person's servile and despicable nature. He was simply too shameless!
Hua Jingyi pressed a button on the heavy iron gate, and three small light screens immediately popped up.
Mao Li and Hua Jingyi entered the password on the screen simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right. Hua Jingjie was forced to stand in the middle by Xiao Bai and put his pupils against the iris scanner.
Finally, the heavy metal door opened automatically.
Matt first used his mental power to scan the area and found nothing unusual. Mao Li then used infrared light to scan it again, but found nothing unusual either.
The group then entered.
The warehouse's inventory was indeed plentiful, including five spare Class B mechs, 500 suppression rings, two warships, and a quantity of high, medium, and low-grade energy stones and high-grade nutrient solutions.
There are also several large, medium and small space buttons, many of which are old. According to Hanakage Itsuki, they were taken from the enemy during various battles.
Hanakage Kazuki was terrified. First, he took out a suppression ring and tried to put it on Hanakage.
His former boss glared at him fiercely, trying to struggle, but was forcibly subdued by Xiaobai and trapped.
Hanakage Itsuki consciously put on another suppression ring and handed the remote control to Matt.
After Xiaobai and the others collected all the inventory from the warehouse, Hua Jingyi went to each floor and notified everyone to go to the 18th floor for an emergency meeting.
After everyone had gathered and their names were called, he personally took the inhibition rings and put them on all 104 employees.
Thus, the Hua Jing family's West Asia branch was completely wiped out.
