Chapter 1267 A Safe Way to Escape
Chapter 1267 A Safe Way to Escape
"The Weeping Staff", a large alchemy facility of Truth Company on the same level as "The Throne of Wrath".
Compared to the Furious Throne that helps the Truth Company to firmly grasp air supremacy and hovers over the City That Never Sleeps all year round to demonstrate the power of the Truth Company, the Weeping Staff is not so easy to see.
This thing can only be seen when a "major accident" occurs or a "corporate war breaks out."
Because unlike the "Wrathful Throne", it also has the function of monitoring the city that never sleeps from the air.
The Weeping Staff doesn't have any "conventional functionality" - unlike the Throne of Rage, which is more like a Sky Fortress or Bastion and is essentially a combat unit, the Weeping Staff is purely a weapon.
Once it is turned on, it will cause destruction to everything around it.
The essence of the Weeping Stick is to continuously emit highly contagious "negative emotions", forcing everyone within the affected area to fall into negative emotions.
And... through these negative emotions, the "Crying Rod" can also allow the operator to mark all humans and animals that are contaminated and polluted by these negative emotions, which is equivalent to directly locking all living units within a range.
At the same time, this emotional energy is not only aimed at living people with emotions. When the concentration of negative emotions increases, it can even cause alchemical items to go out of control and even begin to corrode ordinary items.
At this moment, the outer walls of the factory have shown signs of mottled rust and corrosion, and the iron sheets and walls are even damaged.
With the help of those damages, Lin Yu also got a glimpse of the true appearance of the Weeping Rod - five black, resonating metal pillars mounted on the base of a mobile vehicle.
Next to those metal pillars were more than a dozen fully armed special operations team members of Truth Company.
It was precisely because the "Crying Wand" was already activated that Lin Yu and Buyetian Huoxing could no longer leave secretly underground.
After all, it’s okay to be in the whole factory without doing anything rash, because he is surrounded by other marked Turbine Gang members.
But once they left underground, the two humans who were suddenly marked as straying from the group were too obvious!
As the cause of the accident remains unclear, they are likely to be taken seriously as suspects of the tragedy - not to mention that they are indeed involved in the emotional outburst.
After all, although the leader of the Turbine Gang died because of the "trap" that had long been buried in his soul and body, the person who triggered the trap was Lin Yu.
Once they are identified as suspects, the special operations team of Truth Company will absolutely stop at nothing, even going to great lengths to stop them.
"However, these guys are really decisive... I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly!"
As Lin Yu was speaking, Buyetian Huoxing also came over and looked out through the damage on the wall.
"With thousands of people going berserk, the alarms must have gone off immediately... These special operations teams are probably just the first wave to arrive."
"That's why they're still waiting outside and not coming in. They're probably waiting for the reinforcements and the Weeping Staff to take effect."
As Huo Xing of the Nightless Sky spoke, Lin Yu touched his chin and said, "So what you're saying is... if I want to leave, I have to turn off the Weeping Punishment Stick first?"
"Yes, and I have to do it without exposing myself," Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu, "Can you do it yourself? To deal with this level of alchemy facilities and special operations team members, I can't hold back - and as soon as I make a move, I will leave traces that will definitely make me recognized."
As Huo Xing of Buyetian said this, Lin Yu smiled and said, "Of course... no."
"You must be lying to me. I believe you can do it. You should at least try!"
Buyetian Huoxing said seriously.
Lin Yu shook his head: "No, you misunderstood me - Your Excellency Huo Xing, when I said 'no', I didn't mean I couldn't do it, but I... didn't want to do it."
"I still have a lot of things to do in the City That Never Sleeps. It would be a waste of time to attack the Truth Company's special operations team now and then start escaping. And if I fail and end up wanted, that would be an absolutely unacceptable situation for me. So..."
Lin Yu suddenly kicked the crumbling outer wall - a big hole was instantly kicked out of the already corroded wall.
"boom!"
The tin-clad wall fell down, and Lin Yu saw more than ten laser sights aimed at him.
"Oh!"
Huo Xing screamed miserably, curled up into a ball, and hid in a nearby corner. Then he looked at Lin Yu and asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?"
"You'll still be imprisoned this way!"
"Ms. Huo Xing, your life in the past has been too focused on the Outer City and your own entertainment. Although the head of the Buyetian family allowed you to join the R&D department, perhaps because you have been there so shortly, you still don't quite understand how the Truth Company and other large groups operate," Lin Yu said calmly, glancing at her. "Don't worry, if we do this, we won't be suspected."
From the very beginning, Lin Yu had no intention of escaping.
Under the precise and intimidating aim of those experienced fighters, he calmly raised his hands.
However, Lin Yu did not simply raise his hand - he also showed an ID in his right hand.
"John H. Arthur, B-1 Director of Veritas Corporation, is conducting research for a research and development project!"
"I've been ambushed here. Thank you to all the special operations team members for arriving just in time. I'm safe here for now. I'd like to request that you send a team over to protect and support me!"
As Lin Yu spoke, Huo Xing from Buyetian reacted.
"So that's your idea... But what about me? What should I do? I'm a rat who absolutely cannot be seen in the light!"
Huo Xing pointed at herself, trying to put on a pitiful expression and said, "You're not going to abandon me, are you, my friend?"
Lin Yu looked at Buyetian Huoxing and whispered, "Don't worry, I've prepared a safe way for you to escape. After all, I still have to rely on you and I won't abandon you."
"What method? Tell me quickly so that I can feel at ease."
Buyetian Huoxing looked at Lin Yu and asked expectantly.
"Of course, when they come to pick me up, I'll take the opportunity to talk to them to distract them and keep them company. Then you can run as far away as you can!"
Lin Yu looked at the Buyetian Fire Apricot and said seriously.
Huo Xing from the Nevernight Sky couldn't help but grumble, "What kind of 'safe way out' is this?"
