“…Your will, Boss Song.” Su Xiaoqian hung up the phone.
After arranging the cold medicine, Song Yi felt relieved and lay back on the sofa to continue watching the surveillance footage.
Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and noticed something was wrong.
"Why are these guys suddenly so listless? They were full of energy just a moment ago."
He observed for a long time but couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only guess that they hadn't eaten enough and were now hungry.
They are, after all, the same team, and they are all engaged in high-intensity challenges, so it's reasonable for them to go hungry together.
Soon, they failed the challenge and collapsed on the 46th floor. This was the worst performance they had achieved since the challenge officially started yesterday.
Song Yi shook his head: "As expected, food is the foundation of life. When people are hungry, even cyborgs become weak and limp."
He then dialed the phone to contact Huang Quan's men, who were temporarily acting as his security personnel.
As things stand, regular security personnel have long since evacuated the building, as have the employees.
Currently, the group's top executives, led by Chen Weiwu, are still inside the entire Weiwu Building. They are afraid of being taken hostage by assassins if they leave the building, so they have chosen to stay inside. They are currently sleeping on the floor in the main conference room, and there are a total of 30 people inside.
Secondly, the assassins from the underworld, led by Song Yi, are temporarily serving as security personnel, responsible for maintaining and operating the building's security checkpoints. There are currently a total of 86 people in this group.
Thirdly, there were the comprehensive service personnel led by Su Xiaoqian. Chen Weiwu offered them high prices to temporarily provide the necessary living necessities for the higher-ups and security personnel. As long as they survived this period, each of them who survived would receive 10 million Tianlong coins, and if they died, the money would be sent to their families. There were a total of 20 of them.
Before the large-scale evacuation, if an assassin was captured, several hundred security guards would lock him up in a temporary prison or escort him to the prison.
But now, the Yellow Springs Assassins have no choice but to handle this matter.
Using killing to combat killing is perfectly reasonable.
The five defeated members of this group are valuable Level 5 assassins, worth personally training, recruiting, and using psychological manipulation on. Naturally, their underlings should send them up.
When the call connected, Xue Piao Renjian's weak voice came through: "My lord, something's wrong. We've suddenly become so weak, we barely have the strength to walk."
A loud voice was straining to shout from one side; it was a suicide bomber: "Poison gas! It's definitely poison gas!"
The voice of Higurashi No. 1 also came through, equally weak:
"It wasn't poison gas. I've observed it; only we and the challengers were affected. The service staff were completely unharmed. This wasn't precise poisoning or widespread poison gas; it was some kind of unknown method."
Song Yi frowned, tested his strength, and found no problem. He then checked on the senior executives in the conference room, and they were also fine.
"What do you mean? Are you specifically targeting us assassins?" Song Yi asked indignantly.
Just as he was about to leave to go downstairs to check the situation, he suddenly paused, his gaze quickly sweeping over the people on the upper floors, his brows furrowing sharply.
"Where's Chairman Chen? I haven't seen him."
The executives looked at each other in bewilderment, only then realizing with shock that the chairman was missing.
Song Yi sighed and covered his face. "Damn it, a bunch of useless people. They can lose people in such a spacious conference room. What's the difference between this and someone stealing the seal of the Ministry of War in the Qing Dynasty?"
It is indeed somewhat anthropomorphic.
"Go find it! Notify me immediately if you find it!" Minister Song roared.
As the chairman's confidant, his power was limitless. All the big presidents and major shareholders had to obey him. If they didn't go to his aid, they would be kicked out of the Weiwu Building and left to fend for themselves.
At the same time, he also contacted Su Xiaoqian and asked her to send her men out to find Chen Weiwu.
Chairman Chen spent so much money to hire him as a protector, giving him all the benefits he wanted, treating him like a younger brother.
But now he's lost the person he was protecting...
Is this a disgrace to Chen Weiwu? It's a disgrace to Song Yi!
Soon, the report came back: everyone had searched the entire Weiwu Building, opened and searched every toilet, and even lifted up the ceiling to check, but they hadn't found anyone.
Life and death are unknown!
Su Xiaoqian ran over, sobbing, and grabbed Song Yi's hand: "Boss Song, is the chairman... is he dead?"
Seeing her heartbroken expression, Song Yi couldn't help but suspect that the rumor might not be a rumor at all, and that Su Xiaoqian really was Chen Weiwu's illegitimate daughter.
"Waaah, he promised ten million! If he dies, the other senior executives in the group will never deliver on that promise. I'll miss out on financial freedom! Waaah!"
Song Yi withdrew his doubts and wanted to slap himself.
Brother Chen is a man of impeccable morals. Since his first wife passed away unexpectedly, he has not remarried for many years and has even accepted the fact that he has no children. This shows how much he loves his wife.
My brother is so devoted to me, it would be a disservice to his character for me to suspect that he has an illegitimate daughter.
With his protected individuals lost and his subordinates in trouble, Song Yi was in no mood for jokes with Su Xiaoqian and rushed downstairs to check on his men.
The result was terrible; weakness was not the end, and some people even fainted.
He crouched down to examine a level-four assassin he had just recruited the previous night, probing his internal energy to check the condition of his body.
However, nothing was found. His bones, muscles, nerves, etc. were perfectly fine, and he remained healthy and strong, showing no signs of weakness.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't be so weak that she can't walk or even faint.
Several people were examined, and they all had the same symptoms. Even a level 5 assassin who was partially modified by cyborgs and powered by electricity said that he was also weak and his engine was running very weakly, but the power was indeed sufficient.
It seems that the problem isn't on a material level, but rather a malfunction on a spiritual or soul level.
This mysterious weakness made Song Yi frown, suspecting that supernatural forces were at play.
This alarmed him. He had thought he was the only extraordinary being in the world, but now it seemed that the world might not be so simple.
Su Xiaoqian stayed close to Song Yi, never leaving his side, and was filled with astonishment and uncertainty upon seeing this:
"Has he been infected with a virus? Has his program been attacked?"
She then looked at the fallen, purely physical assassin and shook her head: "No, computer viruses can't infect the human body, and real viruses can't infect computer programs, plus they're selective about who they are..."
"Hmm...I don't understand!"
At this moment, the daredevil helped Xue Piao Renjian and Han Chan No. 1 walk over. As soon as they got to him, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. The two people he was helping didn't even have the strength to turn over.
Song Yi turned them over so they wouldn't suffocate while lying face down.
"My lord, my lord..." Han Chan called out to Song Yi.
She took a few deep breaths and slowly said, "I just discovered through hacking into the external surveillance that there are also many people outside who are weak and collapsed. They are probably the assassins surrounding the building."
"I was surprised to see that some of them looked terrified and were trying their best to climb away. Maybe they knew something, the location, and photos. I've sent them to your phone."
When Song Yi opened his phone, he saw three people, two men and one woman, all of whom were quite old. Their locations were clearly marked, and even a blind person could find them by looking at the picture.
He nodded, patted Hanchan No. 1's cheek, and praised, "Very good, Hanchan No. 1, you might get MVP this round."
No one answered; he had already fainted.
Song Yi stood up, put his phone back in his pocket, and turned to Su Xiaoqian, saying, "You stay here and don't move. I'm going to interrogate a few people."
Su Xiaoqian immediately said, "Take me with you..."
Before the word "go" could even be uttered, Song Yi had already vanished.
Snap! Splash!
A sound of shattering glass rang out. Su Xiaoqian walked to the broken window and could only see Song Yi's back as he slid down from the sky like a roc.
She stomped her foot in dissatisfaction: "Ugh, you didn't take me with you, I feel so insecure!"
Su Xiaoqian observed the surrounding environment and felt that it was too open, which would be disadvantageous for defense if something happened. She decided to take refuge in the toilet.
As she passed a broken wall, she glanced at it subconsciously and suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a faint light coming from the gaps in the wooden planks that the chairman had asked her to temporarily seal up the gap with.
"what?"
She was curious and worried that the wiring inside might have short-circuited and caused a fire, so she grabbed a crowbar and pried open the wooden board.
Upon seeing it, she was immediately horrified.
The densely and regularly arranged lines were now emitting an eerie red glow.
What appeared to be electrical wires were actually tubes, now semi-transparent, continuously transmitting some kind of red glowing substance to other places.
Su Xiaoqian was startled and immediately called to the assassins, wanting them to come and see what it was.
As a result, even the strongest daredevil had already fainted, and no one could answer her.
She boldly poked the pipe with a crowbar, which made a clanging sound; it was very hard.
I touched the end of the retracted crowbar again; it wasn't hot.
She grew bolder and reached out to touch the conduit. Fearing there might be electricity, she used the back of her hand to avoid getting electrocuted and losing control of her fingers, which could lead to her being unable to break free and being electrocuted.
Sigh, you have to be so cautious, why do you still have to touch it?
Why didn't you call the police and let professionals investigate?
Su Xiaoqian didn't know why, but she only knew that the thing in front of her seemed very attractive, and she couldn't resist the urge to touch it.
It's like some people walking down the street, knowing full well that harassment is illegal and can lead to jail time, yet still unable to resist wanting to touch the white thighs of a passing girl.
These two types of attraction are similar.
However, the difference is that touching a sister's leg is illegal, but touching this conduit is not prohibited by law.
If she could tolerate this, she wouldn't be Su Xiaoqian.
Su Xiaoqian froze the moment she touched the conduit.
A strange feeling spread throughout my body, and all sorts of bizarre and fantastical images naturally appeared in my mind, as if I had entered a dream.
Her heart started pounding, and she felt excited. Her blood rushed through her body, radiating heat that flushed her skin, making it appear even more delicate.
A feeling welled up inside her; she wanted more!
"No, no, no, I don't want to!" Su Xiaoqian abruptly withdrew her hand, shook her head vigorously, and crouched down to defend herself, covering her head.
What kind of monstrosity is this? It can even bewitch people! How wicked!
I must stop myself!
She huddled in the corner, sat cross-legged, and assumed a meditative posture. She closed her eyes and muttered incantations, seemingly reciting some calming scriptures to suppress the voices in her mind.
But upon closer listening, she was reciting multiplication tables...
Alas, mathematics can only make people angry and frustrated, yet powerless to change it; it goes against the very principles of calming the mind and achieving tranquility.
Sure enough, not long after, Su Xiaoqian stood up with red eyes.
"I want more!"
