Thunderstorm Asthma? I’ll Just Drain the National Power Grid!

109: Qin Shan is dead, and the mastermind behind it all has been revealed!As Qin Shan’s final, unwilling roar was swallowed, silence finally fell upon the surroundings.

Lin Yuan let out a long breath, feeling as if his bones had been removed, and collapsed onto the ground.

divine body electricity level: 1%

Looking at the glaring red number on the System panel, Lin Yuan’s eyelids were drooping.

”Damn it...”

”This time, I lost big...”

Lin Yuan mumbled weakly.

”Electricity level depleted, all ultimate skills used, almost died here...”

”When I get back, I must make that old fox Zhou Weiguo reimburse me! Triple! No, quintuple! Compensation for mental distress, life-threatening subsidy, overtime pay—not a single cent less!”

He grumbled for a while, his voice gradually trailing off.

The surrounding darkness was dead silent, with only the gap he had blasted open still constantly emitting thin abyssal Qi.

Lin Yuan slowly propped himself up, his gaze directed towards where Qin Shan had dissipated.

He looked into the depths of the Abyss.

Just as Lin Yuan’s mind began to calculate how to recover some Qi.

A figure, from the blasted-open gap above, rushed down against the inflowing abyssal Qi.

It was Su Wanqing.

She was surrounded by cold Qi, forming a shield, struggling to resist the erosion of abyssal energy.

When she saw Lin Yuan lying motionless on the ground, she visibly relaxed.

She quickly walked to Lin Yuan’s side and squatted down.

”Are you... alright?”

Her voice carried a slight tremor.

”Not dead.”

Lin Yuan didn’t even lift his eyelids, saying weakly, ”Just a bit hungry.”

Su Wanqing: ”...”

At a time like this, was he still thinking about food?

She reached out her hand, seemingly wanting to help him up, but hesitated.

Lin Yuan glanced at her.

”Adjutant Su.”

”Hm?”

”You can help me up,” Lin Yuan said seriously, ”but I need to make something clear first.”

Su Wanqing’s brows furrowed slightly.

”This is an extra service, and it comes with a fee.”

Lin Yuan said unhurriedly.

”Dragon Shield Bureau’s internal price, I’ll give you a friendly 20% discount. Three hundred for one time, five thousand for a monthly package. If you get an annual card, I’ll even throw in two emergency rescues.”

Su Wanqing’s outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

She took a deep breath, seemingly trying her best to suppress some emotion.

Then, without a word, she directly reached out, grabbed Lin Yuan’s arm, and pulled him up from the ground.

Her actions were simple and brutal.

”Hiss—”

Lin Yuan gasped in pain.

”Hey! Be gentle! This is a work injury! A work injury!”

Su Wanqing completely ignored his protests, supporting one of his arms and wrapping her other hand around his waist, her ice wings spreading behind her.

”Shut up.”

She coldly spat out two words.

”If you say another word, I’ll throw you down.”

Lin Yuan pouted and wisely shut his mouth.

When under another’s roof, one must bow one’s head.

When I’m fully charged, I’ll settle this score with you.

The two transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the Abyss that had buried the Qin Family’s ambition... the Qin Family Fortress.

At this moment, it had already turned into a battlefield.

Monsters that had escaped from the experimental facility and abyssal creatures that had surged from the Abyss of Suppressing Prison were rampaging throughout the fortress.

The Qin Family’s guards fought individually, retreating steadily, suffering heavy casualties.

When Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing returned to the fortress, this was the chaotic scene they witnessed.

”Roar—!”

A half-human, half-spider monster discovered them, roaring as it lunged forward.

Su Wanqing’s eyes turned cold, and she waved her hand.

”Crack!”

The monster was frozen into an ice sculpture, falling heavily to the ground and shattering into countless ice crystals.

”Tsk tsk.”

Lin Yuan leaned against Su Wanqing, like a boneless ornament.

”Adjutant Su is mighty.”

”Save your energy.”

Su Wanqing retorted irritably.

She led Lin Yuan, avoiding the chaotic battlefield, and soon found a familiar figure.

Qin Hai.

He was leading over a dozen C-rank experts, struggling to resist the onslaught of a group of monsters.

These were the Elders and their confidantes who had chosen to betray Qin Shan in the laboratory earlier.

”Qin Hai!”

Su Wanqing shouted coldly.

Qin Hai turned his head at the sound, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes when he saw Su Wanqing and Lin Yuan, whom she was supporting.

”Officer Su! Supervisor Lin!”

”It’s great that you’re alright!”

”Now is not the time for this,” Su Wanqing’s voice was firm, ”Qin Shan is dead. Now, in the name of the Dragon Shield Bureau, I order you to immediately organize all those who can still fight to suppress all abyssal creatures within the fortress and control the situation!”

Qin Hai was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.

”Yes!”

He looked at the people behind him and roared.

”Qin Shan is eliminated! All brothers, obey the Dragon Shield Bureau’s orders! Clear the fortress and re-establish order!”

”Yes!”

Those Qin Family disciples who had been struggling to hold on were first shocked upon hearing the news that ”Qin Shan is dead,” then erupted with a surge of power.

Under Qin Hai’s leadership, they began to counterattack in an organized manner.

Su Wanqing brought Lin Yuan to a relatively intact room and threw him onto the sofa.

”You rest here.”

She left these words and turned to leave.

”Where are you going?” Lin Yuan asked.

”To help.”

”Don’t go,” Lin Yuan called out to her.

He pointed outside.

”Let Qin Hai and the others handle it themselves. This is their family matter, and it’s also their token of allegiance to the Dragon Shield Bureau.”

”If they can’t even handle this much, then they’re useless.”

Su Wanqing paused, thought for a moment, and felt that Lin Yuan made sense.

She nodded, walked to the other side of the room, sat cross-legged, and began to recover her depleted energy.

Over the next few hours, the sounds of fighting and roaring in the fortress gradually subsided.

Clearly, Qin Hai and the others had brought the situation under control.

The door was knocked.

”Come in,” Su Wanqing opened her eyes.

Qin Hai, along with two other Elders with profound Qi, walked in.

All three of them had injuries, but their expressions were unusually serious.

”Supervisor Lin, Officer Su.”

Qin Hai bowed deeply to the two of them.

”The unrest within the fortress has been largely quelled.”

Lin Yuan leaned lazily on the sofa and waved his hand.

”Alright, cut the formalities.”

”Tell me, any new discoveries?”

He knew that these few people wouldn’t come over so solemnly just to report battle results.

Qin Hai and the other two Elders exchanged glances, their expressions becoming incredibly solemn.

”Supervisor Lin, we found something while clearing out Qin Shan’s private laboratory.”

Qin Hai took out a metal badge from his embrace and handed it over.

The badge was entirely black, with a strange symbol carved on it.

An eye, entangled in thorns.

”This is...”

Su Wanqing’s pupils contracted.

”Apocalypse Society.”

Lin Yuan also narrowed his eyes.

”We found this in Qin Shan’s encrypted communication records,” Qin Hai said in a deep voice, ”The Qin Family’s live experiments had the shadow of the Apocalypse Society from the very beginning.”

”They provided the core technology, as well as... the first batch of abyssal spores.”
