Work Prophet-Chapter 899 - 64: Target—3rd Floor!

Shi Yitong's eardrums buzzed noisily, and she felt as if the world was spinning around her.

Not only was she thrown off balance by the shockwave, but she also didn't expect to be attacked here.

Now that she knows who's behind the Third Era, she couldn't imagine who would be bold enough to dare to attack this building.

Following the explosion, white smoke began to pour in from outside, carried by the cold wind, blowing into the reception hall.

Shi Yitong started coughing again, and her vision began to blur.

However, the monster with the tiger's body and human face seemed unaffected, its gaze fixed firmly on a certain direction.

Suddenly, it accelerated and charged toward the elevator not far away.

Inside the elevator was a researcher who had just gone to the supermarket to buy snacks, planning to return to his lab. He was caught off guard by the commotion.

He was aware that the murals in the reception hall could identify intruders and protect the building, but in all his years working here, he had never seen this function activated.

Suddenly targeted by a giant nine-headed tiger, he felt his heart skip a beat, and the recent explosion at the entrance made him even more anxious.

He hurriedly pressed the button to close the elevator door, but the tiger monster moved quickly, covering nearly half the distance in just a blink. Meanwhile, the elevator door had only closed a third.

No matter how desperately the researcher pressed the button, he couldn't speed up the closing of the doors.

But just then, a second explosion occurred.

This time, not just one floor, but the windows on the second and third floors shattered, with deafening booms echoing one after another.

This human-faced, tiger-bodied monster was momentarily distracted by the explosion, slowing down a bit, and when it reached the elevator, the doors just happened to close.

The monster slammed into the door, deforming the thick panel, and the researcher inside was terrified by a protruding human face on the door, backing away repeatedly.

Fortunately, the elevator began to move soon, carrying the still-frightened researcher upwards.

The scene had been so intense that the researcher completely missed the fact that he wasn't the only passenger in the elevator.

It was a gecko, which had slipped into the elevator during the chaos caused by the explosion, now clinging to the wall behind him.

The elevator quickly reached the second floor, but the damaged door jammed halfway open.

Fortunately, it was wide enough for a person to exit.

The researcher was about to return to his lab number 4, but as he stepped out of the elevator, a hand grabbed him back inside.

The researcher then realized there was a naked man behind him.

Moreover, the man looked somewhat familiar.

"Sa—Savior?" The researcher froze, "Wh—when did you get in the elevator?"

Li Yu snatched the Lay's chips from his hand, tore open the package, and poured them all into his mouth.

The gecko was much smaller than him; it was only last month that Li Yu could transform, and the transformation consumed a lot of energy.

In just a minute, Li Yu started to feel hungry.

After replenishing energy, Li Yu glanced at the researcher's name tag, discovering his name was Lin Jianming, and said, "Lin Jianming, take me to Lab 2 on the third floor."

"I can't."

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I'm scared, but I can't take you to the third floor." Lin Jianming shrugged, "I belong to Lab 4, my usual access is only the first and second floors. As for the third floor, only higher-level personnel can go there."

As if to prove his point, Lin Jianming then pressed the button marked '3' on the elevator, which unsurprisingly did nothing.

Li Yu thought for a moment and asked Lin Jianming, "Who on this floor has access to the third floor?"

"Uh…" Lin Jianming hadn't finished speaking when footsteps were heard in the corridor outside the elevator; a team of security was approaching.

The guards hired by the Third Era were not ordinary personnel but professional soldiers, essentially active elite forces from various countries.

The elevator couldn't ascend now, and there was a monster on the first floor, so Li Yu had to deal with the guards outside first.

He tossed Lin Jianming aside, then rushed out of the elevator.

As soon as his body left the elevator, he transformed back into a gecko, scurrying along the floor towards the armed guards.

Upon reaching them, he suddenly became a black bear, taking down one guard before they could react, then swinging a paw to send another five flying, crashing into the sides of the corridor.

Li Yu swiftly knocked all six unconscious.

He returned to the elevator at speed, pried open the closing door, and dragged Lin Jianming, who was about to flee downstairs, out.

"Who can go to the third floor, take me to them immediately."

Li Yu disabled the security camera when he first entered the elevator, but it wouldn't be long before the guards realized something was wrong.

If they cut the elevator power, it would be troublesome for Li Yu to get upstairs.

The Third Era's headquarters building had a bizarre design, with no consideration for fire safety, not even subject to security inspections, relying solely on three elevators for movement.

"Alright." Lin Jianming gulped, leading the way.

Despite not fully understanding what was happening, he could tell Li Yu was likely linked to the explosions earlier.

Lin Jianming didn't dare to think any further. It wasn't within his capacity as a junior researcher to ponder over it.

Lin Jianming led Li Yu back to Lab 4 and found the lab supervisor, an Indian man named Shah Rukh.

The latter was calling security to protect the lab and became furious upon seeing Lin Jianming.

"When did you sneak out? If I catch you leaving the lab again, I'll fire you, forget about your ticket, and you'll be left to die outside."

Lin Jianming's response was simple. He pointed to Shah Rukh.

"It's him."

Shah Rukh noticed Li Yu behind Lin Jianming and blurted out, "Who are you and why aren't you wearing clothes?"

Li Yu didn't have time to explain, held a gun taken from the unconscious guards, and pointed it at Shah Rukh, "Get in the elevator with me."

Shah Rukh raised his hands but insisted, "Don't be impulsive, do you know who this building belongs to?"

"He knows, he is the Savior," Lin Jianming chimed in.

"You're the Savior?" Shah Rukh finally recognized Li Yu, his mind struggling to catch up, "Wh—what do you want to do?"

"I have a gun; this isn't the time for you to ask questions." Li Yu said, "If you want to live, do as I say."
