The patrol team member guarding the door suddenly gestured to the others and said, "I hear movement outside, they’re slowly approaching."
"With the situation earlier, the door definitely won’t hold, we must attack them in advance."
The patrol team member’s hand tightened on the grip of the gun, ready to react at any moment.
At that very moment, the final step in the repair of the Mind Fluctuation Generator was finally completed.
Chen Ming stood up from behind the workbench holding the generator.
The low whispering Spiritual Stone in his hand, emitting an unsettling Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, strangely made him feel incredibly at ease.
However, Chen Ming did not rush to activate it, instead, he said to the two team members in front of him, "Fire a couple of shots and then retreat, there’s no need to hold the position, let some people in."
The manager couldn’t help but say, "You’re basically gambling with your life."
Chen Ming glanced at the intricate mechanical device in his hand and said, "It’s not a gamble, it’s to ensure a higher success rate."
"Furthermore, opening the door to let people in is actually delaying their progress."
"As I mentioned earlier, the reason the military is after me."
"If I’m alive, the profits of Sky Steel will return to the company, so the company has the same reason as the military to protect me."
"If I die here, the higher-ups in the company will be more anxious than anyone."
As the people outside the workshop pressed on step by step.
The chaos on the upper floors of the Administration Building had gradually subsided.
The Director of the Administration Bureau personally donned the XD-01 Heavy Power Armor developed by Sinda Corporation and, along with his trusted guards, began sweeping up from the middle level where his office was located.
After clearing out the chaos creators on the upper floors of the building, he led the re-organized guards to sweep down from the top levels.
In just over ten minutes, apart from the two underground levels and the first to third floors above ground,
Everyone causing trouble in the company was subdued by his overwhelming force.
In fact, the actual number of people causing chaos on the upper floors wasn’t many, just over twenty.
They were moving through the various floors, starting fires and planting small bombs to create chaos.
Although the Director handled it swiftly, the expression under his Power Armor helmet was still not pleasant.
Moreover, at this moment, his helmet visor displayed an ongoing call. Official source ıs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
On the other end of the call was a person whose attire and demeanor were very similar to Xu Lin, the chairman Chen Ming had previously spoken with, also a company director.
Despite the anger in his heart, the Director maintained his respect for the board member, saying, "There has been a split within the Administration Bureau."
"It has been confirmed that among the management at the level of team leaders and above, a total of three people, and six regular employees, are mainly from the military faction."
The board member on the other end of the call suddenly laughed coldly and said, "Heh, it seems the emergence of the military faction within the company is not just due to market and environmental needs for the company to be on good terms with the government army, there’s also military provocation involved."
"I don’t care about the losses on the Administration Bureau’s side, you just need to handle the situation and give me a report."
"And what about the most important person?"
"He was previously arranged to be in the Administration Bureau’s underground maintenance workshop, a room exclusive to the department with few people having access."
"The nature of the work in the workshop itself and the cause of previous incidents, all configurations are of the highest protective specifications, the safety factor is guaranteed, I’m on my way there."
"Can you get in touch?"
"No, the communication block started from the underground, and there’s also some bad news."
"There is a record in the database that, at the same time the chaos broke out in the building, someone used an identity code to open the workshop."
"I had arranged trusted security personnel for Director Lü in advance, but I’m not sure if it worked."
The board member was silent for a moment, knowing that blaming anyone made no sense now, he simply said, "Speed up, I don’t want to see results that disappoint me."
"Hmm, the military must have been prepared to act directly, I must start preparations on my side as well."
The Director hung up the call.
And at this moment, the door leading to the next floor suddenly closed, a layer of panel appeared from both sides of the door, sealing together.
Sealing the passage to the next floor completely.
To be precise, it wasn’t just the door to the next floor that got sealed, but all doors near the third floor above ground and the two underground levels within the entire Administration Building were sealed.
And amidst the constantly blaring alarm, a new warning sound played.
"Mind Pulse attack detected, located on the underground second level, please move away immediately."
When the Administration Building was constructed, a small amount of Silent Alloy was incorporated, although it can’t completely block, it can buffer part of the Mind Pulse.
Furthermore, the Administration Bureau also installed detection equipment throughout various places, and when detecting Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, would immediately activate the alarm, sealing the doors between nearby floors.
The doors naturally also had Silent Alloy incorporated to ensure the Mind Pulse’s effect on the outside is minimized.
This is something that basically all authority departments would do.
The Director didn’t need to hear the content of the alarm, just seeing the doors suddenly sealed, he knew what had happened.
Only, he wasn’t sure who released this Mind Pulse, but regardless of who released it, the situation underground was undoubtedly much worse than above.
Unable to wait for the multi-level clearance to confirm and open the sealed doors, the Director directly used the Power Armor to forcibly rip the sealed door open.
