Seeing that the man was telling the truth, Wu Yehao snapped his fingers. A second later, a golden thunderbolt struck down at the man.
Boom!
When the dust settled, only a pile of ash remained where the man had knelt. The other men exchanged determined glances as they watched the scene unfold.
Before Wu Yehao could react, the remaining men simultaneously swallowed something. Moments later, black blood seeped from their seven orifices, and they collapsed lifelessly.
Wu Yehao's expression darkened as he observed the scene.
Realizing none of them had survived, he snapped his fingers again. In an instant, countless golden thunderbolts rained down, illuminating the dark alley.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When silence returned to the surroundings, the only things that remained were the acrid stench of burned flesh, scorched ground, and piles of ash.
The next day, just as Wu Lian arrived at his office, his assistant entered.
"Captain, something happened last night in the slum," the assistant said, handing a report to Wu Lian.
As Wu Lian read the report, the assistant continued, "We have checked the location, but we couldn't find any clues apart from the burned ground and some mysterious ashes. We have sent the ashes to a laboratory for investigation. Results should be available within a few hours."
Setting the report down, Wu Lian asked, "Did the people we sent to follow that lightning element ability user discover anything?"
The assistant shook his head and replied, "Our team had been following them since they entered the base, but after they left the public office, we lost track of them. Right now, only two of them are guarding the armored cars in the public parking lot."
As Yao Ran came down from the second floor, she was surprised to see Yuan Rihui and Ling Yi sitting in the sitting room.
She smiled as she greeted them, "Boss Ling, Brother Yuan, you two are here."
Ling Yi smiled and said, "Good morning, Miss Yao. I hope we didn't disturb your rest."
Taking a seat across from them, Yao Ran asked, "What brings you two here today?"
Hearing her question, Yuan Rihui placed a brown envelope on the low table in front of her. "This is the information you requested," he said.
Yao Ran calmly opened the brown envelope and began reading the investigation report.
As she reviewed the documents, Ling Yi said, "Miss Yao, we discovered that the three major families appeared to have dealings with The Ark before joining the Juncheng Military Base. However, we couldn't uncover the specifics of their deals."
Yao Ran returned the report to the envelope and looked at Yuan Rihui. "What about the name list?"
Yuan Rihui shook his head and explained, "We have only uncovered a few people so far, and all of them live in the central ring of this villa area. As for those from other locations, we are still working on it. It's not easy to trace them."
Understanding how tightly guarded The Ark was, Yao Ran nodded in acknowledgment. After considering for a while, she said, "I will provide you with two thousand kilograms of grain, one thousand kilograms of meat, three hundred eggs, and three chicks. In addition, I will give you ten bottles of fine wine and ten packs of cigarettes. I hope you can bring back more detailed information next time."
When Ling Yi and Yuan Rihui heard the amount of supplies she was willing to offer, they were stunned, too shocked to react.
Seeing their astonished expressions, Yao Ran smiled and asked, "How about the people I asked Brother Yuan to find? Have you located any of them?"
Snapping out of his daze, Yuan Rihui quickly answered, "So far, I have managed to locate six
of them. Unfortunately, four have left the base before the fog appears. Of the remaining two, one has joined the military, and the other is still living in the slum."
Listening to his explanation, Yao Ran sighed inwardly and thought, 'What a pity. It seems I'm still too late.'
