Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies-Chapter 537: There Is No Going Back For Me

Long Yu fell silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know. But since we only have four hours, we need to find Gao Shuwei as soon as possible. As for the kidnapped ability users, I will contact Captain Wu and the others and let them rescue those ability users."

Yaoran still had doubt in her heart, but time was running out, so she could only agree to Long Yu's plan. "Alright."

Making their decision, Long Yu quickly sent messages to Wu Yehao, Jiang Chen, and Xu Ruihan.

[Change of plan. Ran Ran and I will locate and eliminate Gao Shuwei. You guys focus on rescuing the kidnapped ability users before the bombing begins.]

Then, he sent another message to Shi Xuan.

[A Xuan, evacuate Chairman Yao immediately.]

A second later, four responses came simultaneously:

[Got it.]

[Yes, Captain.]

[Roger that.]

[Understood.]

After closing the messages, Long Yu continued flying toward the headquarters building. Within minutes, he landed on the rooftop.

With the invisible barrier generator still active, he took Yao Ran's hand and whispered, "Gao Shuwei lives on the top floor. Let's head down and see if he is there. When the opportunity arises, we will kill him and leave before reinforcements arrive."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, on the top floor, their target stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the chaos unfold below.

Hands in his pockets, Gao Shuwei's eyes flickered as he muttered, "So you two really came. Saves me the trouble of luring you here."

Closing his eyes, he activated his ability. After a few seconds, he chuckled darkly. "Interesting… I can't see the future. I wonder who will win this battle in the end."

Opening his eyes, he picked up the phone on his desk and called his assistant.

"Evacuate everyone from this building."

"Yes, Director."

Placing the phone back on the desk, Gao Shuwei left his office and made his way to the laboratory located in the underground.

Ten minutes later, Long Yu pushed open the door to Gao Shuwei's office. Seeing it empty, he frowned. "This is strange. We haven't encountered anyone since we entered from the rooftop."

Yao Ran scanned the room and her expression was tense. "A Yu, I have a bad feeling about this."

Long Yu's grip on her hand tightened as he said, "Let's check the lower floors."

Since they were already inside, Yao Ran agreed. "Let's go.

It took them almost an hour to check the entire building, but they still couldn't find Gao Shuwei.

Standing in front of a double metal door, Yao Ran looked up at the sign hung on the wall and said, "This is where I was locked up before they moved me to the secret laboratory in another city."

Hearing this, Long Yu asked worriedly, "Ran Ran, are you alright?"

Yao Ran nodded and smiled at him. "I'm fine now."

Seeing that she was calm, Long Yu nodded and said, "I'm going to open the door."

"Alright."

Raising his hand, Long Yu activated his wind element ability and placed his palm on the metal door. As soon as his hand made contact with the surface, cracks began to form.

Crack!

Not wanting to trigger the security system, Long Yu only destroyed the lock, leaving the door intact.

Once the door was unlocked, Long Yu pushed it open. The moment they stepped into the laboratory, a cold, husky voice echoed through the room.

"Indeed, the two of you are here."

In the next second, Yao Ran froze at the sound of the voice. Sensing her fear, Long Yu tightened his grip on her hand.

As they stepped forward, Long Yu finally saw a man in a black suit standing in front of a massive cylindrical tube connected to various machines. His neat and clean black suit made him look like a CEO who still lived in a peaceful world.

Narrowing his eyes, Long Yu called out coldly, "Gao Shuwei."

At the sound of his name, Gao Shuwei calmly turned around. His gaze fell upon Long Yu and Yao Ran's interlocked hands, and he sighed with a hint of sadness in his voice.

"You two are still together in this lifetime."

Raising his eyes to Yao Ran, he smiled. "Xiao Ran, have you forgotten? You loved me before you met him in the last five lifetimes. How could you betray me like this?"

Hearing this, Yao Ran glared at him. "There is only a blood feud between us."

At her words, the light in Gao Shuwei's eyes dimmed and his smile faded. "You are right. I can't blame you if you hate me after what I have done to you."

When he said that, silence fell over the spacious laboratory.

A moment later, Gao Shuwei's expression turned cold as he spread his arms wide and said, "Welcome to my laboratory. Xiao Ran, A Yu, do you two like this place?"

Long Yu met his gaze and said, "Gao Shuwei, your talent could benefit humanity greatly. If you surrender now and stop all of this, I will spare your life."

As if he had just heard a joke, Gao Shuwei chuckled coldly. "It's too late, A Yu. There is no going back for me. Besides, I didn't have any choice to begin with."

After saying that, he paused briefly before adding, "However, you two still have a choice. If you help me with the final phase of Project Zero, not only can you save yourselves and your friends, but you can also save this world. All you need to do is trust me and follow my instructions."

Yao Ran's grip on Long Yu's hand tightened at his words. Stepping closer to him, she said in a low voice, "A Yu, he is very dangerous. Let's kill him as soon as possible."

Long Yu looked at her and nodded. A second later, he flicked his fingers, unleashing countless invisible wind blades toward Gao Shuwei.

Swish~! Swish~! Swish~!

At the same time, Yao Ran activated her water-element ability, attempting to control the blood flowing through Gao Shuwei's veins.
