Chapter 339: Taking Action!
Zhang Yan first sent a message to Qin Xiao.
"Lock up all of TFC's suspicious assets in the country, especially its water, chemical, warehousing, and underground engineering projects. Use military connections, not commercial channels."
Qin Xiao replied instantly.
"Has something happened in Shanghai?"
Zhang Yan: "The Zefeng Consortium is training its members' families. Jinghai is the next target."
There was a two-second silence on the other end.
"I'll move right away."
Zhang Yan looked at the screen and added another sentence.
"Don't send anyone into the factory. Set off a two-kilometer perimeter and monitor vehicles outside. I'll handle the situation inside."
Qin Xiao: "Understood. Should we tell my sister-in-law?"
Zhang Yan paused for a moment.
"I'll tell you after I get out."
After sending that message, he put his phone away.
It's not a cover-up.
There's no need to distract her right now.
If Nie Qingcheng knew that Jinghai was the primary target, she would expose every single flaw in the Zefeng Consortium.
That would certainly be useful.
But right now, this underground node is still pulsating.
First, we need to eliminate the source of the poison.
Zhang Yan cut back in through the drainage ditch.
This time he didn't hide it.
The Thousand-Machine Arm unfolds, the close-fitting exoskeleton is powered to its maximum, and the Heart of Heaven is held in the palm of the left hand.
The alarms on the third basement level are still going off.
After he interfered with the shackles, they were nearing the critical point.
The dome of the space compression chamber sometimes shrinks inward and sometimes bulges outward, and the energy fibers at the edge break off one after another.
All seven guards rushed into the core area.
They were armed and positioned near the door, the worktable, and the pipe entrance.
The movements were very professional.
But it didn't work.
When Zhang Yan walked out of the pipe, the nearest guard reacted the fastest.
"Someone's there!"
The gun barrel turned around.
Zhang Yan raised his hand.
The Thousand Machine Arms unfolded in front of him to form a defensive surface.
The first volley of bullets fired sent sparks flying everywhere.
The defensive surface trembled only slightly.
Zhang Yan did not speak.
He took a step forward, and the right side of the Thousand Machine Arm extended, directly grabbing the barrel of the first gun and bending it downwards.
The gun barrel is bent.
Before the guard could loosen his grip, Zhang Yan was already close, striking him on the chest with the heel of his palm.
The person was thrown out, crashed into the wall, and immediately lost the ability to resist.
The second guard attempted to flank.
Zhang Yan turned around, and the Thousand Machine Arm swept out from behind him, accurately striking the opponent's wrist.
The gun fell to the ground.
The next second, the guard's arms were twisted behind his back by the Thousand Machine Arm, and he was pinned to the metal frame.
The third.
the fourth.
Zhang Yan did not kill them.
It's not that I'm soft-hearted.
These people are in the know.
A living person is worth more than a corpse.
In less than thirty seconds, all seven guards were disarmed.
The mechanical straps that split off from the Thousand Arms fixed them to the walls and supports, locking all their joints and sealing their mouths, so they could only make muffled sounds.
One of them was still talking on his walkie-talkie.
"Report from the core area."
"Seventh node, report immediately."
"Reinforcements have departed and are expected to arrive in seven minutes."
Zhang Yan reached out and picked up the walkie-talkie.
He didn't speak.
Crush it directly.
Seven minutes.
enough.
He turned to look at the space compression chamber.
Two of the four shackles have already become disordered, while the other two are still forcibly maintaining their state.
The creatures struggled frantically inside the dome, their tentacles lashing against the walls of the compression chamber. With each impact, the lights on the third underground level would flicker.
Zhang Yan did not delay any longer.
"Black Scorpion".
The black mechanical giant scorpion fell out of the system space and landed heavily on the edge of the core area.
The underground space was not wide enough, and the black scorpion was injured. Its right limb had been temporarily repaired, so its movements were not as smooth as before.
But it's enough to hold down a B+ rank dependent who's been imprisoned for a long time.
Zhang Yan raised his Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart and aimed it at the confluence of the four shackles.
The purification pulse is not released, but compressed into a beam.
The blue-white light struck the first shackle.
The pale golden light on the shackles suddenly went out.
Click.
The first one is broken.
The family members suddenly pushed outwards.
The dome expanded by one ring.
Article .
Article 3.
The guard, strapped to the wall, was filled with terror upon witnessing this scene.
They know what this thing is.
They also knew what would happen if they were released.
Zhang Yan didn't look at them.
The moment the fourth shackle broke, the space compression chamber finally gave way, and a crack appeared in the top of the black dome.
The giant anemone-like creature pounced out.
It did not escape.
It pounced on Zhang Yan immediately.
The instincts of pollutants are very simple.
Whoever is purifying it is a threat.
The black scorpion charged forward.
The left pincer gripped one side of the main body of the kin tightly, while the tail needle pierced down from above, embedding itself into the bloated outer shell.
The tentacles of the kin instantly entangled the black scorpion.
The damaged right segment emitted a piercing friction sound, and the newly repaired hydraulic assembly started alarming again.
Zhang Yan didn't even glance at the repair notice.
"Suppress it."
The Black Scorpion's body sank, all its limbs embedding themselves into the ground, forcibly pressing its kin next to the wreckage of the compression chamber.
The main body of relatives experienced drastic fluctuations.
A large amount of dark red energy spewed out from the tentacles, attempting to contaminate the black scorpion's exoskeleton.
Zhang Yan leaped up in one step.
The Thousand-Arm stabilized his body, while his left hand, the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, pressed directly against the crack in the core shell of his kin.
Full-power purification.
Blue and white light exploded.
The tentacles of the retinue twitched wildly, and several tentacles swept across Zhang Yan's front, only to be blocked by the Thousand Machine Arm.
The impact was considerable.
But it's nowhere near as good as that A-grade lizard in Yokosuka.
Fifteen seconds.
The outer layer of the main body of the family began to collapse.
Twenty seconds.
The dark red energy was completely extracted by the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
Twenty-three seconds.
The core cracked.
The bloated life form quickly withered and finally crumbled into black ash, pressed to the ground by the black scorpion's pincers.
A system notification popped up.
Purification complete.
The completeness of the Heavenly Craftsman's Heart +0.6%.
Current completeness: 98.7%.
Zhang Yan released his grip.
The space compression chamber collapsed rapidly after losing its energy source.
The black dome collapsed from the inside, without an explosion or any leakage.
All equipment on the three underground floors lost power simultaneously, and the screens on the worktables went out one after another.
The three remaining conduction lines in the underground water network were also broken.
Clean.
Zhang Yan put away the Black Scorpion.
Its maintenance list has grown quite a bit longer.
We need to fix it properly when we get back.
But this time it was worth it.
He turned and walked to the worktable, scanning the remaining equipment.
Take what you can.
Formatting that cannot be taken away.
The guards were still bound, their eyes having gone from fear to numbness.
Zhang Yan did not conduct the trial.
It would be more appropriate to hand the interrogation over to Qin Xiao and the coordination team.
All he needs to do is turn the scene into ruins that the other party can't recover from.
Before leaving, he glanced at the corner one last time.
There is a misaligned baffle at the bottom of the workbench.
Too new.
Zhang Yan squatted down and used the Thousand Machine Arm to remove the baffle.
Inside was a small metal container.
The container has no power source, no markings, and several energy-insulating lines are engraved on its outer layer.
Zhang Yan did not open it directly.
The system will scan first.
Unknown substance.
High risk.
Zhang Yan placed the container on the ground, bringing the Heart of Nature close to it.
Inside the container were three black crystals, each the size of a fingernail.
It's not a mystical crystal.
It is not a void crystal.
The system's recognition results took two seconds to pop up.
Unknown substance.
It contains trace amounts of residual energy from the original form of the Ruins.
Source: The Ruins itself actively detached.
Zhang Yan stared at the words "voluntary detachment," his finger hovering in mid-air.
Xu gave a portion of himself to the Zefeng Consortium.
