Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 541 - 458: Eternal Life on the Internet

Chen Gu turned and dashed back to his own private room, kicked the door open, and threw the light, single-soldier mecha stored in the Dimensional Prison Ring inside. "Quick, suit up! It's a biochemical attack!"

Bai Yunpeng's guards were taken aback. Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen were also shocked, and they began to lament, "Why did it have to happen to us..."

Fortunately, not many people came to the site to cheer for Chen Gu today, so there were enough mechas available.

Having experienced many great trials and tribulations, Bai Yunpeng calmly donned the mecha. "Why would Xiao Yunzhan do such a thing?" He had a bright future ahead of him; it was indeed difficult to fathom his motives.

"Marshal, we will protect you and fight our way out!" His guard captain drew his weapon.

Outside, chaos reigned. People fell one after another, all exits had been blown up, and the audience ran in all directions. They were especially panic-stricken upon seeing the eerie state of the deceased.

Outside the Immeasurable Stadium, Shangguan Yuxie and Shang Qingye sensed something was wrong as soon as they heard the explosion. "The Behemoth Alliance matches are under attack! This must be a major incident. Contact the Bureau of Mystic Security immediately!"

Thanks to their decisive action, the Bureau of Mystic Security received the news in no time. Soon, a special task force, in collaboration with the action team, was dispatched.

A little over ten minutes later, Chen Gu used Quantum Teleportation several times to quietly lead Bai Yunpeng and his group out. They met up with Bureau of Mystic Security personnel outside, who were working on digging a passage to rescue those trapped inside.

Among the guards, someone suddenly said, "No way!"

"Inside, there's a biochemical attack! The substance sprayed by the Four-Headed Serpent Elephant isn't just simple venom; it's likely some unknown virus!"

"Once we open up the passageway, the virus inside will leak out, affecting an even larger area!"

Everyone fell silent, knowing he spoke the truth. But if they gave up on the rescue, would the tens of thousands of people inside all die?

Bai Yunpeng shook his head. "Continue with the rescue. Have everyone take protective measures. Notify the Biochemical Disposal Department to be fully prepared. The stadium isn't completely sealed; the virus has already been dispersing through various ducts and pipes."

"Yes!"

Human technology had advanced to the point where it could counter various types of attacks. Biochemical Disposal Department personnel arrived quickly, sealing off several nearby blocks. They then used high-power energy generators to completely barricade the area from underground to the surface.

Luckily, Shangguan Yuqing and the others had informed the Bureau of Mystic Security early on. Although the losses were heavy, the situation remained within controllable limits.

But Chen Gu felt no joy. This attack, broadcast via the Behemoth Alliance's network to all of Star Sea, had been witnessed by every viewer.

Public opinion boiled over, and panic spread. All major gatherings and events, including those of the Behemoth Alliance, were suspended. On one hand, security levels were immediately raised; on the other, an investigation into the masterminds behind the attack commenced.

The Confederation's Biochemical Disposal Department took the lead, collaborating with numerous research institutions to study the virus from the attack.

The atmosphere inside the Bureau of Mystic Security's headquarters was tense. All members of the Special Action Team were present, with Bai Yunpeng representing the military. Presiding over the meeting for the Bureau of Mystic Security was a deputy director, Ding Zhou, an Eighth Energy Level adept known as the 'Hell Titan'.

Aviloya was still undergoing Purification. Given her current state, Bureau regulations barred her from any Bureau of Mystic Security work.

The military and Bureau of Mystic Security experts had, in an extremely short time, dug into every last detail of Xiao Yunzhan's background.

"Xiao Yunzhan had been outstanding since childhood, excelling academically. He was reserved by nature and not keen on socializing with his peers."

"We suspect he came into contact with this extremist organization during his high school years and eventually became a member."

The holographic projection in front of them displayed the forum in question, Xiao Yunzhan's posts on it, and his communications with others.

"The communication records indicate he also recruited some subordinates."

"They were all low-level employees of the Crown of Thunder club—the kind who were insignificant, frequently oppressed, and harbored deep resentment."

Boluo was somewhat puzzled. "But what about Xiao Yunzhan? He always had good living conditions. Why would he be recruited by this organization?" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

The Bureau of Mystic Security and the military had officially named this extremist organization the Digital Group.

Gong Shuxu asked, "Can we track their forum posts?"

The technician shook his head. "No. The forum, though unassuming, uses highly advanced technology that theoretically makes tracking impossible."

The technician then asked, "Shall we shut down the forum for now?"

"No need," Bai Yunpeng replied. "Leave it up. Let's see if we can use it as bait."

Besides the forum, the Digital Group surely has other ways to communicate. Closing the forum wouldn't help. It's better to leave it as a 'window' through which we might glimpse the Digital Group.

"Any leads from Xiao Yunzhan's parents?"

"His hometown is on Dust Cloud Star. Our special agents there have already spoken to his parents. They were shocked by Xiao Yunzhan's actions and refuse to believe it. They insist their child must have been possessed by some evil entity; otherwise, he couldn't have done such things."

"His parents have their own beliefs."

"Besides that, they couldn't provide any useful information."
