Chapter 1591: The Death of Yu Dongming

"... The number you have dialed is powered off."

In a secret room in the outer city of Hui-5 Safe Zone, the intelligence analyst of Blaze tried the contact again and failed. Looking up, he reported, "Captain Qu, the phone of Xie Hailong, team leader of the Sixth Research Group, is off and cannot be reached."

Qu Fangzhou nodded and asked, "Has the surveillance signal of the Sixth Research Lab been connected?"

Another intelligence analyst, rapidly tapping his keyboard, answered without looking up, "The signal connection is still in an interrupted state."

Qu Fangzhou stood up with a grave expression, turned around, looked up, and gazed at the map on the wall behind him. The six intelligence analysts in the room raised their heads one after another, watching the thin figure ahead, holding their breath as they waited.

Half a minute later, Qu Fangzhou issued a series of orders: "Make contact with the official intelligence personnel of Hui-3, and find out whether Hui-3 has dispatched troops to Northern Mountain 86."

"Yes."

"Contact the Hui-2 Heavy Alliance Group, and find out whether the Yu family is making any major moves right now."

"Yes."

"Contact the officials of Lan-5 and the people on the side of the Mad Sand Battle Team, and confirm whether they have dispatched personnel to Hui-3 Mountain 86."

"Yes."

"Contact the Northern District One territory of Hui-3, and confirm whether Xia Qing and the veterans of Territory Eleven are within the territory."

"Yes."

"Contact all team members currently patrolling in the Hui-1 Evolution Forest. Report immediately if any animal disturbances are spotted."

"Yes!"

In Territory Eight of Northern District One, Hui-3, inside the white small building, the screen of a phone placed on the natural wood-root tea table made by Xia Qing lit up, and a gentle, soothing piano melody rang out. Seeing Xin Yu, who was reclining on a lounge chair and sunbathing through the window, opened her eyes, picked up the phone, and said, "Captain Tan."

Tan Junjie, who was in the Inspection Team office, asked, "Xin Yu, a large transport helicopter from the Hui-2 Heavy Alliance Group has applied to enter Hui-3 base airspace on the pretext of delivering supplies to you. The Inspection Team has not received an admission application submitted by you. Is this a batch of emergency supplies?"

Seeing Xin Yu naturally knew what the helicopter was here for, and calmly replied, "I did not apply for supplies to be transported. I will call right now to confirm the situation."

Tan Junjie responded, "The helicopter is flying very fast. It is expected to reach the base boundary in 15 minutes. Please get back to me as soon as possible."

"Understood, I will reply to you within five minutes." After ending the call with Tan Junjie, Seeing Xin Yu sent a message to Xie Yu and began dialing Yu Dongming's number.

In Hui-2 inner city, inside another villa not far from the Yu family villa, Xie Yu raised a hand and signaled her team members to begin the operation. A small, dust-gray mouse followed the surveillance blind spot artificially created when Yu Wenfei left, burrowed into the ventilation duct of the Yu family villa, and waited at the designated position.

"Click, click, click..."

Butler Yu, wearing leather shoes, took the phone that was flashing, went down to the basement level, and through the security intercom device on the door, reported, "Chairman, Young Lady Xin has called you, asking whether you dispatched a helicopter to deliver supplies to her."

During the Calamity years, social order was chaotic. To ensure personal and property safety, three safe rooms were built inside the Yu family villa. The one with the highest security level was the one Yu Dongming was currently in.

To guard against detection and attacks based on electronic signals, this safe room had no signal at all. It was the ultimate shelter of the entire villa.

To capture Deng Yufeng, Yu Dongming had dispatched the elite Heavy Alliance security team that protected the Yu family villa; his son Yu Wenchuang had taken a security team out to carouse; his wife and daughter, against his objections, had gone to the hospital under the protection of two security squads to visit his father.

Upon realizing that the security forces inside the villa were insufficient, Yu Dongming felt a great sense of unease. He immediately contacted his secretary and had him dispatch three security teams into the inner city to carry out the villa's security mission. Before the security forces arrived, Yu Dongming handed his phone to the butler, whom he could absolutely trust, and hid in this safe room, which was being activated for the second time in the six years since it was built.

"A bunch of useless trash!"

Yu Dongming cursed inside the safe room. He put on a protective mask, confirmed it was safe, and only then opened the heavy steel door. At the doorway, he connected the call and quickly briefed Seeing Xin Yu on the current situation: "Little Yu, didn't you say some time ago that Xia Qing was going to build a house? A buyer just returned their goods. Since the building materials had already been loaded into the cabin, I had them change the delivery address and send it over to you."

Seeing Xin Yu's eyes were fixed on another phone, and her usually cool voice carried a note of delight: "Uncle, is it our newly developed SIC-99 cement?"

Just then, a mung bean-sized soft adhesive capsule dropped from the ventilation opening on the upwind side and silently stuck to the top of Yu Dongming's protective mask.

Eager to end the call, Yu Dongming answered carelessly, "Yes, that's the one. The helicopter is about to enter Hui-3 airspace. Report to the Inspection Team as soon as possible, otherwise this batch of supplies can't be delivered to you."

Seeing Xin Yu, who had not yet received a reply, asked in surprise, "Is it the full set of supplies? If so, I'll contact Xia Qing and have it unloaded directly within her territory."

If the helicopter landed in Territory Three, how would he bring Seeing Xin Yu back? Yu Dongming pulled back the finger that was about to press the red button. "It's not the full set. Most of it is what your grandfather sent over to you. The old man is sick in the hospital and still thinking of you. Come back to visit when you have time."

Seeing the message from Xie Yu on the other phone, Seeing Xin Yu responded, hung up on Yu Dongming, and called Tan Junjie back.

"Boom!"

Yu Dongming handed the phone to the butler and was about to give a couple of instructions when he heard an explosion from outside. He gave a start of fright, immediately retreated into the safe room, and locked the door tight.

This heavy iron door both protected Yu Dongming's safety and cut off the sounds from outside, making him feel both safe and uneasy.

Yu Dongming felt that wearing the protective mask made breathing a little difficult. Although instruments confirmed the indoor air was fine, he still first turned on the high-intensity UV lamp to sterilize his entire body. The outer membrane of the soft adhesive capsule stuck to the top of his protective mask was damaged by the ultraviolet light and began to slowly dissolve.

After completing the sterilization, Yu Dongming turned on the indoor air purification circulation system, took off the protective mask with relief, took several deep breaths, and raised his hand to look at the mechanical watch on his wrist.

Three minutes. In another three minutes the security team would reach the villa, and he could go out. One minute later, the outer membrane of the soft adhesive capsule stuck to his protective mask was completely dissolved!

"Beep! Beep!"

The indoor air quality detection system lit up red and automatically activated the high-intensity UV lamp to kill harmful substances in the air.

Yu Dongming immediately held his breath and pulled the protective mask over his head at the fastest speed, but he was still too late.

The bacterial aerosol had already entered his body and completed lung activation within 10 seconds, beginning to synthesize and release toxins. At the 13th second, Yu Dongming, who had already gripped the door handle, felt blurred vision, chest tightness, and an extreme sense of suffocation. The muscles throughout his body began to show visible fibrillations, which then rapidly progressed to tonic spasms, so fast that he had no time to pull out the antidote from his pocket.

At the moment foam came from his mouth, the last thought in Yu Dongming's mind was:

If I were an advanced speed evolver, I would definitely have already escaped...
