Chapter 742: Drastic measures

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Sheyan's pupils contracted upon witnessing that scene.

"This design…...could it be that booby trap?"

Sheyan immediately swung a fist and punched the gorgeously constructed wooden arabesque wall.

Bang! The wall instantly crumbled inwards, but Sheyan's fist became numb from the impact. As it turns out, behind the wall was a layer of impregnable steel rampart!

To Reef's horror, speckles of charged lights started flickering at the end of the access channel. A second later, seven horizontal dark-blue lasers formed and begun travelling towards Zi and him; carrying nothing but silence, elegance and an aura of death.

Wherever those dark-blue lasers passed, be it flower pots or the wallpaper, they were all noiselessly sliced; nothing could impede their path! The lasers didn't travel with rapid velocity but instead, brought along an immense ominous pressure of death.

In fact, the board member that requested for this mechanism tramp in the past was a little perverse in the mind. He loved watching the expressions of individuals trapped in such a hopeless situation.

"A laser channel!!!" Reef howled into the party channel. "Darn it! The crazy bastards actually installed such a terrifying trap."

Even Zi's expression was different. She fiercely executed a sleek 'Force Collision Wall' to defy the incoming lasers. Sadly, her 'Force Collision Wall' soon slammed into the distant steel door and emitted a sonorous boom, but nothing happened to those seven incoming horizontal lasers.

"Must I use my final chance in this world of awakening the 'Dragonforce Bloodline'?" Zi's pupils instantly morphed into a vertical slit, as an indescribable wave of awe surrounded her.

Yet in this instant, Sheyan's calm voice transmitted in the party channel.

"Withdraw backwards, those laser beams shouldn't be that fast. Believe me, since we now know their tricks, resolving this trap is undoubtedly not an issue."

Notions flashed through her mind as Zi replied.

"Fine, but seeing the speed of those laser beams, you have at most 10 seconds to resolve this. Otherwise, I will use my final awakening of the 'Dragonforce Bloodline' in this world."

Sheyan recalled a room he came across while searching through this floor previously. He immediately charged towards that particular room.

"The essence of those cutting laser beams is the million-fold amplification of electromagnetic radiation, thus creating a multi-hundreds degree scorching intensity. According to the technological standard of this world, the electric energy required to power seven beams of such high intensity laser can only be summed up with the word 'frightening'!"

'There should be an electrical room on each floor of such an enormous building, and it is right... here."

The electrical room was indicated clearly and located just beside a restroom. Although its iron door was shut tight, Sheyan unleashed a vicious slam and created a clear depression against the door. Following up with a stomp, this anti-theft door creaked and finally collapsed inward.

Sheyan entered the electrical room and surprisingly discovered an employee hiding inside. The employee was shocked into a trembling fit upon seeing Sheyan.

Ignoring him, Sheyan proceeded to pull out the frame of the main power supply with a loud 'crank', and exposed the multitudes of electric cables within.

Eyeing the two thickest power cables, Sheyan reached forth and ripped them out from the wall. Under his tyrannical strength, those thick and sturdy cables became as weak as noodles. Electric blue sparks splattered out from the ripped bronze cables.

Sheyan then revealed a mocking smile before sending wanton punches into the entire power supply box.

Boom! After a sonorous bang, Sheyan instantly felt his vision darkened and his hands numbed. He was sent flying five metres away by a monumental force, as a piercing smoking smell pervaded into the room. Only a contestant would dare to be so unbridled with such high voltage apparatus, an ordinary individual would probably be fatally wounded.

After Sheyan broke the power circuit, electricity was utterly cut off from all offices in this level.

Consecutively, Reef's solemn voice rang in their party channel.

"Those deadly laser beams have dimmed with one completely disappearing! They will extinguish soon and their speed has slowed considerably. However, there are still six laser beams cutting towards us. I reckon another 20 seconds, boss! Good work but there's more to be done."

"Indeed so." Sheyan understood his conjecture should be spot on this time.

"In the earlier phase of the company's blueprint, they should've already considered the issue of electricity usage of that laser channel, while maintaining the supply of the whole building. Therefore, the maximum power needed for a single supply and presented to governing authorities would inevitably reach an astounding figure; surpassing the legal limits. However, the Sando Company wouldn't collaborate with the government, hence, when constructing the laser channel, their design plan should include this – once the laser channel activates, other nearby floors of the building will similarly supply power to the laser channel."

"Thus, after breaking the circuit for the 40th floor, I must now undoubtedly take drastic measures!"

Thinking of that, Sheyan grabbed a load of electric cables that looked incredibly sturdy and coiled them twice around his arm. Then, with a shuttle run, he leapt out of the window.

This was the 40th floor! The electrical cable slammed against the railing and became tightly taut.

Piank! The outer reinforced glass was shattered through by Sheyan. As he descended, the electric cables recoiled his body upwards like a life-saving rope, sending him arching towards the bottom floor glass.

With a hefty stomp, Sheyan crashed through the glass wall of the bottom level and stood back up after making a roll.

Due to convenience of design, every floor of electrical room was situated in roughly the same area, and Sheyan didn't have to waste time to locate them.

Meanwhile, a guard attempted to hinder Sheyan by opening fire, but was quickly cut in two by the urgently rushing Sheyan. Sheyan then charged into the next electrical room and followed this routine pattern.

This time was unexpectedly the final straw to flatten the camel.

After emitting a mournful buzz, those laser beams dimmed unwillingly, while the electric-powered steel doors ahead released an unresigned groan before opening a slight gap.

Meanwhile, Zi and Reef charged forth with the swiftest reaction. Without expending much efforts, they blasted through the steel doors.

Following that, Reef waved his lightsaber around and slaughtered a few fleeing control room employees. Even with his noble spirit, Reef absolutely wouldn't be merciful towards individuals who wanted to mince him with that terrifying laser beam web.

In this moment, Zi demonstrated an incredibly phantasmic movement style. As she strode in, she suddenly vanished into thin air. When she appeared, she was already far into the distant and similarly carried a belly of fire.

Sheyan's wise choices had repeatedly hammered down on her. Yet that also implied that her previous contempt towards him was purely embarrassing!

This wasn't something the arrogant and mighty Zi could accept, thus, deciding to vent her frustration on the individuals behind this trap.

In a flash, she emerged in a vast conference room. It was a splendorous and majestic conference room that carried a faint lingering fragrance.

Steam was rising from teacups and cigarette buds weren't extinguished yet. Evidently, the masterminds hadn't been for long.

Zi was extremely familiar with such conference room setups. With a raise of her left hand, she swept bookcases down with her force energy. She then inspected around the furnishings and discovered a secret room.

There was indeed an elevator in this secret room, however, it was unexpectedly orientated towards the roof.

Zi instantly understood the top executives did left themselves an escape route. Instead, the escape route wasn't a secret elevator leading to the parking lot, because it could be easily countered by just encircling the building.

Hence, their ultimate desperate measure, was a helipad at the rooftop!

"Shit." Such a negative notion flashed through her mind.

Thinking of that, she intended to chase them up, but at this moment, Sheyan charged in. Upon noticing the elevator, Sheyan immediately released a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, it is impossible for them to escape even by air."

Zi curiously asked.

"Why so?"

Sheyan offered a mystifying smile and answered.

"The pilot can't work while being infected."

When the two contestants arrived atop the building, a scene of two helicopters with their rotor wings spinning rapidly greeted them. Nevertheless, the pilots were powerlessly paralyzed in their seats and repeatedly bended their heads down.

On the contrary, two men in suits were an anxious as ants in a hot pot. Realizing they couldn't escape by flight, they quickly withdrew backwards. Still, Sheyan quickly forced them to the edge where their only path backwards would be to jump down.

Sheyan sauntered before them and chuckled.

"Gentlemen, can we finally talk now?"
