"...at least...still alive..." Miao Meng gave Chu Hua the feeling that he was almost dead. This guy was slumped over the desk in a miserable state. As if he had used up his last bit of strength, he pulled out documents from the pile of papers on his left hand side. He carefully reviewed them with exhausted eyes, signed his name on them, and then tremblingly put them into the pile of papers on his right hand side.

Chu Hua turned to look at Hai Ling again. Hai Ling's situation was not much better than Miao Meng's.

Unlike Miao Meng, who was weak and numb, Hai Ling was signing the documents in front of him at a speed beyond Chu Hua's imagination. His movements were as precise as a machine, and his efficiency seemed much faster than Miao Meng, making the onlookers wonder whether this guy had extraordinary abilities or was just doing things perfunctorily.

But Chu Hua knew that Hai Ling was also experiencing a kind of numbness, a different kind from the numbness of Miao Meng. She was using the huge workload itself to numb her perception of fatigue so that she could devote her energy wholeheartedly to her work. This situation was quite dangerous and often put her on the verge of death.

"Uh... Can you really work properly in this state... Why don't you take a break first..." Looking at these two pitiful and completely miserable guys, Chu Hua really couldn't bear to ask about the business directly.

As colleagues, we should show some basic care.

"Rest? I'm fine, really." Hai Ling looked at Chu Hua with a beaming expression, her pen still waving non-stop. "I've never felt better! I never thought I could achieve this with my abilities. Every day I can complete four-fifths of Xiangzi's average workload of the past few weeks!"

If it weren't for those two big dark circles staring at him, Chu Hua probably would have believed the other person's lies.

Come to think of it, Li Xi in my own world seems to like pandas? Maybe Hai Ling, with her current appearance, can easily win his favor~

"Emmmm..." Stop, stop. Chu Hua felt that he was going too far when he had such a cruel thought in front of Hai Ling.

"...You've seen it too... It's not that I don't want to rest..." Miao Meng suddenly spoke at this time, still with the tone of being tormented and half-dead, "...Now... the entire city of Tokyo... is on our shoulders - carrying - carrying it..."

Miao Meng was talking halfway when she suddenly dragged out a long sound. Chu Hua was really worried that she would suddenly faint.

"Where is Saki-chan? Where is she now? What happened that made her put down her work and get busy?" Chu Hua now had to ask her doubts. She felt that if she stayed in such a depressing place with these two guys who were almost driven crazy, she would probably rush up to share Miao Meng and Hai Ling's work.

"Xiangzi? Xiangzi is busy with something now and cannot be disturbed. Chuhua, you should go and take care of your own thing first." When Hailing heard Chuhua asking about Xiangzi, she began to mutter vaguely.

"Uh..." Chu Hua was now certain that Hai Ling's mental state was probably a little abnormal, otherwise she would not have forgotten that today was the weekend and Chu Hua could enjoy the weekend without having to go to work.

Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to tell him Xiangzi's information, Chuhua had no choice but to say, "What about Mu? I mainly want to see her for something."

Yesterday, it was Mu who contacted Spider-Woman and asked Chuhua to go with Hatsune. According to Hatsune, Mu should have gone with them, but for some reason he stood them up.

However, Chuhua is now a little glad that Mu did not follow her. Otherwise, if Mu and the unconscious Hatsune who was possessed followed her together, then Spider-Woman is the third Chuhua and her little secret will never be hidden.

"Muzi?" Miao Meng's tone seemed a little strange when she heard Chu Hua asking about Muzi's whereabouts. She put down her pen, raised her head and looked at Chu Hua with her dark eyes, not even breathing. "She should be in Xincheng now. Can't you contact her directly?"

"I called her, but no one answered..." In fact, Chuhua tried every means to contact Xiangzi and Hemu when she was at home, but she never got a reply from either of them. Finally, she came to the company out of helplessness.

"This is normal. The construction of the new city has just begun, and the communication facilities in many places have just been laid. It's not surprising that there is no signal." Hai Ling pretended to be calm and answered Chu Hua's question. "By the way, there is a curfew these few days. Chu Hua, you haven't been awake for long. If you feel uncomfortable, you can contact us directly. Although I really don't have time to read the group chat messages, I will still answer your calls."

……

After Chu Hua left, Miao Meng couldn't help but look towards the door.

"...She... probably didn't... notice anything..."

After the brief shock brought by Chuhua wore off, the boundless feeling of fatigue once again engulfed Miao Meng.

"What can she do even if she notices it? Chuhua is just an ordinary person without super powers. I believe she can stay away from those dangerous things by herself. The two of us just need to ensure that Xiangzi is not disturbed and protect them at the same time." Hailing said in a low voice.

"..." Miao Meng sighed deeply, "...Xiangzi..."

Miao Meng really hopes that Xiangzi can come out as soon as possible to free herself, otherwise if this continues, she is afraid that she will be exhausted to death at this desk.

Miao Meng originally wanted to say this with earnest anticipation, but now she no longer has the strength to express such a long sentence.

The soft and comfortable seats under himself and Hailing's butts looked like two toilets to Miao Meng at this moment, and they were the kind that glowed with golden light.

……

As soon as Chuhua walked out of Xiangzi's office, he was certain that the two guys inside must be hiding something from him.

But she had no way to pry open the other person's mouth, so Chuhua still couldn't find out where Muhe and Xiangzi were.

But even so, I can't just sit and wait for death.

"Since I can't contact Xiangzi, I'll try to solve the problem on my own!" Chu Hua made up his mind. What he could do now was to take Hatsune with him and use the power of the serum to eliminate the symbiote bit by bit.

There is no doubt that this difficulty is unimaginable. Last night, the two of them encountered hundreds of symbiotes. It is obvious that this is definitely only a very small part of the crisis in the lower city.

"But someone has to do it, right?" After determining the next goal, Chu Hua immediately began to act.

-----------------

Mu has been locked in his room for nearly a day and a night.

She still couldn't find a way to the outside world, nor could she get in touch with Hatsune or Shoko.

"After searching back and forth for a few times, the only possible place to get out is there." On Mu's right arm, Mortis condensed mucus into an arrow, pointing in a certain direction.

Mu looked at Mortis silently. She and this guy had turned her room upside down together, so she naturally knew where the other party was referring to.

Toilet, toilet.

"This route is also absolutely impossible." Mu muttered, "The narrow cave entrance is only wide enough for our two real bodies to exit, but not for this body."

Mortis didn't say anything because she also knew this fact.

The symbiote cannot survive without the host. Without this body, the two of them would probably be drowned in the sewer.

"What other ways can we escape?" Mortis said, already beginning to grow bored. "Drilling a hole in the wall doesn't seem possible. A hole that could allow the two of us to escape would surely damage the steel bars within. That delicate material would shatter if even a small portion was damaged, which would be enough to cause the entire wall to collapse."

Only then did Mu deeply realize the horror of the cage supervised by Xiangzi. A symbiote as powerful as Death, if it were not for the use of a symbiote restraint device, there was actually nothing that could really trap her.

Even though these walls are almost indestructible against other attacks.

However, ordinary chains cannot trap elephants, but these iron rings, which are too fragile for elephants, can easily make elephants unable to resist in the hands of South Asian elephant trainers.

The reason is simple. The elephant trainers use these chains to tie up the elephants when they are still baby elephants. In this way, when they grow up, they will think that these shackles that were so strong in their childhood are still impossible to break free from now.

If Mu was just a wild symbiote, she could have just broken down the surrounding load-bearing walls and escaped directly. What did the collapse of the Toyokawa Building have to do with her?

But she can't, she is Wakaba Mutsu, the director of Mujica Group, the corporate champion, the other half of Toyokawa Shoko, and Saki's sister.

Xiangzi had already told Mu about the design and the purpose behind it when he was building the building.

"Although it might be a bit unfair to Mutsumi, this is also for the sake of making Mutsumi behave and not run around when there is danger that Mutsumi cannot solve~"

The gentle words of the past have now turned into the hardest chains, binding Mu tightly and making it difficult for her to move even a step.

The weakness in his heart made all the muscles in his body become limp, and Mu fell on the bed again.

Beep, beep, beep.

Mu turned to look at Mortis, who was holding his cell phone. Even if there was no signal, he could still play some single-player games to kill time.

Mortis is now playing a parkour game. She makes her slime tentacles fly up and down, manipulating the character on the screen to cross obstacles one after another and pass through gaps one after another.

"I got it!" Looking at the game screen in Mortis's hand, an idea flashed in Mu's mind.

"What's the matter?" Mortis was now immersed in the electronic screen and did not pay special attention to Mu's words.

"There's a way out!" Mu grabbed the phone and asked Mortis to concentrate on listening to him.

"Is there any way out?" Mortis expressed her disbelief. If there really was a way, they should have thought of it long ago. Why did it take so long?

Mu took his phone and measured it with his fingers: "Very good, thickness 1cm, width 8cm."

She took Mortis to a corner of a wall, squatted down, and gestured on the wall with her fingers.

"Saki told me, and you should know, that the concrete of this wall is nothing special, but the steel bars are made of a very special material. They are practically indestructible, but any damage to them will render them completely useless."

"What is it? So it's just a big cage." Mortis didn't understand what Mu meant by saying these clichés.

"We don't necessarily need to use 'erosion' to destroy the entire wall. We can just dig a hole 2cm long and 9cm wide. There's no signal inside the room, but there should be outside. As long as we can contact someone outside to get us out, we'll be fine."

"Uh... in this situation, I remember that the outer door can only be opened with the director's authority... If we can contact Xiangzi, why bother with this? As for Miao Meng and Hailing, they are probably dead at their workstations by now. Who should we find to open the door?" Mortis was a little nervous. Is this guy crazy about getting out? He can even come up with a plan with such obvious loopholes?

"Did you forget?" Mu reminded him, "Mujica Group now has five directors."

"Ah, this..." Mortis really didn't remember that Sanjiao Chuhua was also a director. In her heart, that guy had never had much presence.

"Anyway, you take control of your body now, so as not to damage the steel structure." Mu has confirmed the feasibility of his plan. "Then, let's start digging!"

Volume 49: Book of Fears: . Hawkeye

"Shouldn't I be lost?"

In the pitch-black night where nothing can be seen, a Quinjet flew across the endless continent and several narrow seas at several times the speed of sound, heading straight for Tokyo.

This five-seater fighter jet was currently carrying only one passenger, the captain, and did not appear to be carrying out any serious combat mission.

In fact, this was indeed the case. The young woman with light blue hair was checking the route map of the fighter plane's automatic cruise over and over again. Although it was set up in advance by Misaki when she boarded the plane, she was still worried that something might go wrong. After all, even if she didn't move, it was not uncommon for her to land in the wrong place.

The woman's name was Matsubara Kanon. She came to Tokyo not for any important matter, but just to attend the shareholders' meeting of the Mujica Group held in a few days as a representative of the HHW Group.

Although HHW Group only holds 5% of Mujica's shares, it can be regarded as the sixth largest shareholder after Mujica's five directors.

However, HHW has never liked to interfere in the internal affairs of these investment targets, and sending a representative to attend the shareholders' meeting is just a formality.

Kanon is not only HHW's representative in mujica, she is also responsible for the affairs of dozens of companies held by HHW as Genmaki's agent.

Therefore, Hanane basically flies around the world all year round, and the more she flies, the more likely she is to get lost.

Kanon still remembered that the last time she came to Tokyo, she accidentally landed on the roof of the Goblin Company's headquarters building in the south, and one of the engines of her plane was broken.

Fortunately, although the boss of that company was taciturn, he was quite kind. He immediately found someone to repair his car and then respectfully sent her away.

However, Hanane doesn't really want to recall these embarrassing moments.

……

The Quinjet was flying very fast, and soon the huge gray city walls of Tokyo could be seen. Kanon confirmed this magnificent iconic landmark again and again, and finally confirmed that she was not in the wrong place.

"Tower, this is Kanon Matsubara, I've sent my identification code, requesting entry and landing instructions."

She confidently approached the airspace under Tokyo's jurisdiction and began calling the ground tower to apply for entry permission.

However, after waiting for a long time, no response was received from Tokyo.

"Uh... I should... have taken the right path..." Hanane's original confidence was gradually collapsing due to the silence on the ground.

The Quinjet circled twice, but there was still no sound from below.

Kanon became alert. She could guess that something was wrong, so she prepared to fly directly into Tokyo to find a suitable airport to land.

Although the HHW Group always likes to show full respect and goodwill when communicating with the outside world, Mujica's long-term disregard for the envoys from Happiness Castle can be regarded as disrespectful.

This is not something Hanane has never encountered before: a company that had been behaving well opened fire and attacked her after she entered the country, declaring its rebellion against HHW.

Fortunately, I can always escape danger.

The current performance of the Mujica Group also seems to have such a foreshadowing.
