The people who saw this scene reacted quickly and rolled behind the sturdy equipment inside the workshop.

However, there was no cover next to the two patrol members standing next to the gate.

Instead, one of the team members reacted extremely quickly and kicked the grenade out through the crack in the door.

He bumped into the door of the workshop, closed it again, and held it tightly against the door.

The explosion of the grenade, accompanied by the shock wave that slightly knocked open the door, triggered a shrill alarm that rang simultaneously throughout the administration building.

The two patrol members immediately opened the door of the workshop after the impact of the explosion.

Prepare to counterattack using the cover of the door panel.

If you get beaten up in a place like this in the Administration and don’t fight back and find a way to leave, it’s likely to be a slow death.

But just as they opened the door, they saw several bodies lying on the ground, including their own people and outsiders they had never seen before.

They were forced back by bullets fired from the other side of the corridor and explosives thrown from around the corner.

The successive explosions of explosives and the bullets flying around in the narrow space made the environment underground in the administration building even more chaotic.

Fortunately, the protective equipment they were wearing was quite complete and of very good quality, allowing them to retreat safely and close the door of the workshop again.

The two team members quickly checked the situation of themselves and their comrades, and couldn't help cursing, "Fuck, has the Administration come to this point? The military came directly to our hometown to kill people?"

The factory director who was hiding with Lao Wu suddenly pulled out from Lao Wu's waist the pistol with automatic locking system that he had bought at great expense.

At the same time, he also threw a gun that he was carrying, which was similar to Lao Wu's pistol, and a dagger in a very futuristic metal sheath to the patrol team members in front.

"Take the things and guard the door."

"yes!"

After the factory manager hid back in the bunker, he took out the terminal and clicked a few times, saying, "If we continue to stay here, something will go wrong sooner or later. We must go to a safer place."

Old Wu was not optimistic about the factory director's idea and said, "Even the basement of the administration building has been broken into. Is there any safe place in the entire building?"

The factory manager also knew that what Old Wu said was correct. His brows furrowed involuntarily and he switched the terminal to the map of the upper floors of the administration building.

In the entire administration, the director's office is probably the only place that can be considered the most secure.

But before he could express this thought, Chen Ming suddenly said: "I don't think anywhere is safe now."

"Do you remember that the door to the workshop is electronically locked? If it is locked and you want to come in, you either have to scan the ID code of the repair shop employee or open it directly with administrator privileges."

"Otherwise, we can only rely on hacking skills to crack it, but just now the door opened directly when there was movement outside."

"The cracking speed shouldn't be that fast, right? Unless the network security of the Administration is not good enough."

The factory director has been on the space station for many years and is familiar with the security system of the administration building. He said, "That's not the case. You mean there is a traitor in the administration, either in management or in our maintenance plant?"

Chen Ming neither admitted nor denied it, but just said: "I'm just guessing."

"No matter what the truth is, it doesn't really matter where we go."

"We can't protect against insiders now, nor can we protect against hackers who can directly hack into the Administration."

"So it's safer here until we figure out who has the problem."

The factory manager hesitated and said, "But if we don't get out, we will be caught sooner or later. We have no way out now."

"No, the alarm has gone off, and the guards in the building must have started moving."

"The current situation is like a double sandwich. We are sandwiched on the innermost part, and the military is sandwiched in the middle."

"As long as we can drag it out, they will be in more trouble."

Old Wu also supported Chen Ming's idea and said, "Yes, there are only five of us now. Can you still beat the group of people outside?"

The factory manager was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "Yes, I really couldn't get out. I was too anxious and there was something wrong with my thinking."

"But now the communication signal has also been blocked. There is no way to determine how long we have to hold out until the guards above come down."

Chen Ming didn't feel anything special about the signal being blocked.

"It's not a big deal, it's to be expected, they've used it before."

"If the communication had not been interrupted, I would have suspected that they had some conspiracy to be realized through communication."

"I never expected that they would dare to take action directly against the Administration."

Old Wu suddenly rushed from behind the factory director's shelter to Chen Ming's side and said, "Xiao Mu, how did you manage to be remembered like this?"

Chen Ming ignored Lao Wu's actions. He picked up the box on the workbench and started prying it open with the tools.

At the same time, he replied: "Didn't I tell you before? When we were talking about Yu Hui and the military at the factory director's place, didn't I tell you about this?"

The factory manager casually echoed, "Yes, I also reported this matter before."

“That’s not the case.”

"Not really?"

Chen Ming did not stop his movements and said, "Let me calculate it."

"For a giant creature with an average body length of 50 meters, it's no problem for it to excrete four or five tons, right?"

"no problem."

"It usually eats rocks, which are slow to digest. Is it okay for it to defecate every three days?"

"That's fine."

"So if I'm still alive and you lose an average of one and a half tons of Skysteel ore every day, what do you think?"

"I don't know the price of Sky Steel ore, but the price of an ingot is over one thousand per gram. One kilogram is one million, and one ton is one billion."

Old Wu fell silent for a moment.

Chen Ming put all the materials he had just taken out of the box on the workbench in different categories, and said as if he suddenly remembered something: "Oh, there is one more."

"I just said just one, but airfish are social creatures. The number of individuals in a group is probably around fifty to one hundred. Would you like to count for yourself?"

"Ha... you've got me wanting that."

"Then why do you think the military is coming after me?"

"Just pretend I didn't ask."

Old Wu suddenly rushed back to the factory director and looked a little autistic.

Chen Ming ignored him, took out the broken mind wave generator he carried with him, and began to disassemble it using the tools on the workbench and his own tools.

He is not on the spaceship now and cannot directly open the panels of items outside the spaceship.

So Chen Ming could only repair the mind wave generator manually.

Fortunately, he had just ordered a batch of materials from the owner of the second recycling shop. Under the financial offensive, the boss was very motivated and delivered the goods to the administration faster than Chen Ming.

I’m afraid the recycling shop owner’s warehouse is in the city, and Chen Ming arranged for it to be expedited as soon as he placed the order.

At least now all the materials are available, and Chen Ming has a way to solve the problem himself.

Although Chen Ming knew nothing about the mind wave generator itself.

But this didn't have much impact.

Remodeling something is completely different from restoring it.

Renovation requires a comprehensive understanding of what needs to be renovated, but repair only requires replacing the original material and putting it back together.

Moreover, the repair panel that Chen Ming opened contained not only the materials needed for repair and the repair button.

The entire repair process is clearly written on it.

Chen Ming's memory is pretty good.

With complete equipment and materials, there is nothing that cannot be done.

Using mind pulse is the simplest and most efficient way Chen Ming can think of to deal with the current situation.

With one mental pulse, it is estimated that no one in the entire administration building would be able to stand except Chen Ming, Lao Wu and the factory director.

At this time, Chen Ming couldn't consider whether the mental pulse would affect other people. His own life was the most important thing.

Chen Ming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

While listening to the noisy sounds outside, speed up your actions.

But after a brief moment of silence, the people outside continued to move.

The lighting system in the workshop suddenly went out, and the equipment Chen Ming was operating also suddenly crashed.

The obvious characteristics of the electromagnetic pulse made the team members guarding the door unable to help but curse: "Fuck, again?"

If there is no lighting underground, then all that is left is darkness.

Fortunately, everyone in the workshop, except the factory manager, carried flashlights with them.

Relight the interior of the room.

Chen Ming did not waste time in the darkness. He continued to repair the mind wave generator with the help of the exoskeleton armor's headlight.

Although the equipment in the workshop is unusable, the small generator itself does not really need the assistance of large equipment. Even without the assistance of equipment, it only requires a few more steps.

The workshop and the ordinary tools Chen Ming brought with him were enough to repair it.

Just at this moment.

Suddenly, a sound like an electric drill was heard from outside a wall of the workshop, followed by a loud explosion.

However, the workshop just shook slightly, and nothing further happened, as if there was no impact at all.

Chen Ming raised his head slightly and glanced at the wall where the explosion sounded and said, "I remember that the sound insulation in the workshop was not very good, but the protection measures seemed to be very special."

The factory manager reached out and patted the wall next to him and said, "Yes, there was an accident in the workshop before."

"When it was rebuilt, it was built based on the maximum thickness. Ordinary individual weapons cannot destroy it."

"On the contrary, the door is relatively fragile, so the only door leading out of the workshop is located in the corner underground. Even if an accident happens again, it will not have any impact on the surrounding areas."

Chen Ming lowered his head again and continued with the work at hand.

However, the people outside did not seem to give up. They changed direction and created another huge shock.

However, the actual result was the same. The interior of the workshop just shook a little, causing some wall dust to fall off.

After two consecutive failed attempts, there was a brief silence outside the workshop for a few minutes.

Although they only needed to guard the end of the only corridor leading out of the workshop with only one exit.

That's why they considered making a hole in the wall.

It just failed, so they have to consider other options.

A few minutes later.

The patrolman guarding the door suddenly signaled to the others and said, "I heard some noise outside. They are coming over slowly."

"The door can't hold back a situation like that just now. We must attack them in advance."

The patrolman's hands tightened on the grips of his guns, ready to react at any moment.

At this moment, the last step of repairing the mind wave generator was finally completed.

Chen Ming stood up from behind the workbench holding the generator.

The Whispering Spirit Stone in his hand, which was emitting disturbing spiritual energy fluctuations, made him feel extremely at ease.

However, Chen Ming did not rush to start, but said to the two team members in front: "Just fire two shots and retreat, there is no need to defend, let some people in."

The factory manager couldn't help but say, "You are simply gambling with your life."

Chen Ming glanced at the delicate mechanical device in his hand and said, "It's not a gamble, it's just to ensure the success rate."

"Besides, opening the door and letting people in is actually delaying their progress."

"I just told you the reason why the military is hunting me down."

"If I live, then Sky Steel's profits will return to the company, and the company will have the same reason as the military to protect me."

"If I die here, the people at the top of the company will be more worried than anyone else."

While the people outside the workshop were closing in.

The chaos in the upper floors of the Authority building has gradually subsided.

The director of the administration personally wore the XD-01 heavy power armor developed by Sindar Corporation, and with his trusted guards, he began to sweep from the middle floor where his office was located upwards.

After clearing out the troublemakers on the upper floors of the building, they began to sweep from the top to the lower floors with the reorganized guards.

It took more than ten minutes to complete the whole process, except for the two underground floors and the first to third floors above ground.

All those who caused trouble in the company were subdued by him with absolute violence. In fact, the actual number of people who created chaos in the upper echelons was not that large, only about twenty or so.

They moved through the floors, setting fires and planting small bombs to create chaos.

Although the director handled it quickly, his expression under the power armor helmet was not good.

And at this moment, an ongoing call was displayed inside his helmet visor.

The person on the other end of the call was a man whose dress and temperament were very similar to Chairman Xu Lin, whom Chen Ming had talked to before, and who was also a director of the company.

Although the director was filled with anger, he still maintained respect for the director and said, "There is a split within the Administration."

"It has been confirmed that there are three managers above the level of the working group leader and six ordinary employees, mainly from the military."

The director on the other end of the phone suddenly sneered and said, "Oh, it seems that the emergence of the military faction within the company is not only because the market and environment require the company to have good relations with the government and the military, but also because of the military's instigation."

"I don't care about the losses on the part of the Administration. You just need to handle the matter and give me a report."

"yes."

"And what about the most important person?"

"He was previously assigned to the maintenance workshop in the basement of the Administration. Only a few people have access to the department's exclusive room."

"Due to the nature of the work in the workshop and previous accidents, all configurations are in accordance with the highest standards of protection capabilities. The safety factor is guaranteed. I am on my way there now."

"Can you get in touch?"

"No, the communication blockage started from underground, and it's bad news."

"There is a record in the database that when chaos broke out in the building, someone used an ID code to open the workroom."

"I arranged reliable security personnel for Director Lu in advance, but I'm not sure if it worked."

The director was silent for a while. He knew that blaming him was meaningless at this moment. He just said, "Speed ​​up. I don't want to see a result that will disappoint me."

"yes."

"Well, the military must be prepared to take action directly, so I must start preparing as well."

The director hung up the call.

At this moment, the door in front of him leading to the next floor suddenly closed, and a layer of partitions appeared on both sides of the door and closed.

Completely lock the passage leading to the next level.

To be precise, it was not just the door leading to the next floor that was locked, but all the doors in the entire administration building near the lower three floors and the two underground floors were locked.

And a new warning sound appeared among the alarm sounds that had been ringing.

"Psychic pulse attack detected, located on the second underground floor, please leave immediately."

A small amount of silent alloy was added when the administration building was built. Although it cannot completely block it, it is enough to buffer some of the mental pulses.

In addition, detection equipment has been installed in various places within the Administration. When psychic fluctuations are detected, the alarm will be immediately activated and the doors between nearby bases will be closed.

Naturally, silent alloy is also mixed into the door to ensure that the mental pulse has minimal impact on the outside.

This is something that basically all authorities do.

The chief didn't need to hear the content of the alarm; he knew what had happened when he saw the door suddenly sealed.

But he was not sure who released this mental pulse. But no matter who released it, the situation underground was definitely much worse than that above.

There was no time to wait for the director's multiple authority confirmation to open the blocked door. The director directly relied on the power armor to tear the blocked door open.

While adding a sentence to the alarm, it also left a loophole that allowed him to pass directly through.

"Hurry up, we don't have much time."

Go forward a little in time.

As the chaos in the upper echelons of the Authority subsided.

The military team commanding the group that relied on spies and betrayers to enter the building was once again in trouble.

Due to time constraints, the military team did not have time to enter the building and could only rely on the remote support provided by the informant to the people in the building.

But the effect is not ideal.

The captain, who had just spoken to his superiors, returned to the team members and asked, "What's the situation?"

The hacker team said anxiously: "The means we can use when we are not on the scene are much less than those outside, and the situation is much more troublesome."

"They also disconnected all the cameras in the room in advance, so I couldn't see what was going on inside at all."

"And why would they install a half-meter thick steel mezzanine in one of their studio rooms? The design clearly shows that this is not the case."

The captain patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down, this is our last chance."

"If we can't handle this even after losing all our professionals and two informants, we should prepare to go to a barren planet to mine coal."

The hacker team members couldn't calm down at all after hearing what their captain said, but they didn't continue to vent their emotions.

He exhaled and said, "This is the last attempt. I can temporarily overload the equipment in the workshop. It should be able to cause some chaos."

"Whether we can complete the task or not will depend on what happens next."

After the captain gave orders to the people underground in the administration building through an informant.

They sent three people directly to the door with a bag of thermite.

One of them desperately smashed the burning thermite against the door before being shot dead by patrolmen who heard the noise.

The workshop door was completely destroyed in an instant.

A patrol member failed to retreat in time and suffered severe burns on his arm, losing some of his combat effectiveness.

At the same time, the equipment inside the workshop suddenly overloaded, causing a large number of sparks.

Although no actual damage was caused, it did make Chen Ming dazzled at that moment.

At the same time, there were dense footsteps outside the corridor, and they threw all the last few projectiles into the workshop.

For a moment, flames, explosions, and smoke filled the room, and the chaotic situation made it impossible to see the specific situation clearly.

Fortunately, all the staff in the workshop were armed and the workshop was very large.

At most, these projectiles can only slightly disturb them and cannot cause any actual damage.

But the military doesn't actually expect this.

After they threw all the projectiles, they rushed straight into the workshop carrying heavy riot shields in the smoke-filled passage.

Even though the situation was extremely chaotic now, with the sound of alarms and the crackling sound of equipment leaking electricity, Chen Ming still heard some chaotic noises at once.

"There are footsteps! They are coming."

Hear Chen Ming’s reminder.

Even the injured team members immediately climbed out of the bunkers where they were hiding, and fired indiscriminately outside through the doors melted by thermite.

However, electromagnetic weapons may not be able to penetrate these professional riot shields at close range.

After the weapons used within the Administration were stolen, they now become an obstacle.

After killing the three people who rushed over, the remaining dozen people had already rushed to the door of the workshop.

He rushed to the front and used his shield to push away the two team members blocking the door and broke directly into the workshop.

The target is directly aimed at Chen Ming.

The others who couldn't get in any time raised their guns and aimed at the patrol members who were knocked to the ground.

The time is now.

At this distance, no one should be able to resist the mental pulse.

Chen Ming pressed the button of the mind wave generator.

A mental pulse that ordinary people have no resistance to instantly echoed in the small space.
