Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, examining each one, fortunate that labels were attached.
The buttons were divided into areas A, B, C, D, E, and F, with sections for electricity, water, and the most crucial, mechanism buttons.
To the far right of the control panel was a large lever.
It read: Main Switch
Pulling it down would activate all water, electricity, and mechanisms in every area.
Xu Qian's eyes flickered, a smile tugging at her lips.
Of course, she would open everything.
Opportunities to sabotage the X Group headquarters were rare.
Xu Qian reached out to pull the lever, but it didn't budge.
Xu Qian: ...
Evolved humans possessed great strength, and she considered herself no exception.
Was it that difficult to pull?
Xu Qian gritted her teeth, exerting all her strength, and the main switch finally moved a fraction.
However, after being pushed down, the lever would automatically spring back up.
Xu Qian had to hold it down continuously; if she let go, it would snap back.
Soon, with a deafening roar.
Darkness enveloped the surroundings.
Lian Du froze, jumping up from the sofa. He gritted his teeth against the pain and asked, "What's going on?"
The people outside the door exchanged bewildered glances, clueless as to what had happened.
Xiang Jintian, who had been observing the situation outside, immediately started the plane the moment the doors opened and the lights went out.
The takeoff conditions in the warehouse were limited; he'd calculated it upon entry, needing to ascend after a 50-meter taxi.
Xiang Jintian, a fighter jet pilot, found these maneuvers effortless.
He pressed the microphone button, "Everyone, buckle up!"
"Yes!"
Everyone gripped their seatbelts, showing no signs of nervousness.
The plane took off.
Nearby guards in black heard the commotion and looked up.
They saw a large plane flying overhead.
Its lights flashed on and off.
The guards in black were dumbfounded, what was happening, where did this plane come from?
Suddenly, someone fell from above.
No, it couldn't be called a person.
Falling from a great height, it didn't die but staggered to its feet.
Then one, two, then countless more.
Zombies fell from each area intermittently.
Some zombies splattered into meat paste upon impact, while others survived and scurried about, biting people.
Screams erupted everywhere.
Xu Qian naturally heard the commotion, her lips curling slightly.
If above was hell, then below certainly wouldn't be heaven.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps approached.
Lian Du panted, his gaze fixed on the control panel.
He saw the main switch lever being pressed down by itself.
Lian Du's expression shifted. It normally required two people to pull the main switch because it was so difficult to operate.
What on earth had happened?
Lian Du ran over, intending to pull the lever back up.
Xu Qian sidestepped, abandoning the lever, and directly pressed the mechanism control button for area C.
Lian Du's expression turned cold, and he growled in a low voice, "Who is it?"
He scanned his surroundings, finding no one.
He knew someone was there.
There had been a breeze just moments ago, but now indoors, where could the wind come from?
A spark of realization hit Lian Du, and a cold smile played on his lips. "Xu Qian, stop hiding and come out."
In City A, he had encountered a woman who could turn invisible.
Now that he thought about it, didn't that woman's figure resemble Xu Qian?
Xu Qian, still pressing the button for area C, remained silent. Since she was invisible, he couldn't catch her anyway, so she'd press it for as long as she could.
She could just hide in her space later.
Lian Du's fox-like eyes narrowed. He knew full well that the mechanism in area C had been activated.
He crossed his arms and slowly walked towards the button, his voice dropping slightly.
"Xu Qian, you know I'm very interested in you. I won't hand you over; everyone else can leave."
He paused. "Of course, if you refuse, I'll cut the power immediately, and none of you will be able to leave."
As he finished speaking, the madman opened the nearby electrical box and drew a dagger from his boot.
If she didn't show herself now, no one would be leaving.
