Thunderstorm Asthma? I’ll Just Drain the National Power Grid!

”Everyone in the city will be contaminated by the ’abyssal spores’ and transformed into monsters that only know slaughter and consumption.”

”By then, Jiangcheng will no longer be Jiangcheng.”

Zhou Weiguo looked up at them.

A layer of cold sweat seeped from Lin Yuan’s back.

He finally understood why the fellow named Xiao Jue had mentioned Jiangcheng in the mental sea.

”How much time do we have?”

Su Wanqing asked the most crucial question.

”I don’t know.”

Zhou Weiguo shook his head.

”It could be a month, it could be a week.”

”It could even be... tomorrow.”

He looked at Lin Yuan, his gaze heavy.

”Now, our only advantage is that we know their plan in advance.”

”And you, Lin Yuan, are our only... breaking point.”

Lin Yuan was startled.

”Me?”

”That’s right.”

Zhou Weiguo nodded affirmingly.

”The energy fluctuations of ’abyssal spores’ are extremely weak, and conventional instruments cannot detect them at all. Only you, with your Electromagnetic Induction, might be able to find those hidden ’Formation Cores’ before they erupt on a large scale!”

”Moreover, your power of lightning is a natural bane to abyssal power.”

”You are the only trump card we have to turn the tables.”

Zhou Weiguo’s tone was very firm.

”Therefore, this task can only be entrusted to you.”

He looked at Lin Yuan, awaiting his answer.

Su Wanqing’s gaze also fell on Lin Yuan.

She knew how heavy this burden was.

It concerned the lives of fifteen million people.

It concerned the survival of the entire Jiangcheng.

Lin Yuan fell silent.

He lowered his head, looking at the S-class top-secret file on the table, his fingers unconsciously caressing the edge of the folder.

After a long time, he finally looked up, his expression complex, at Zhou Weiguo.

”Old Zhou, you think too highly of me.” His voice was a little hoarse.

Zhou Weiguo’s heart was in his throat, waiting quietly for him to continue.

”How long has it been since my Awakening? And you’re putting the lives of fifteen million people on me alone.” Lin Yuan smiled bitterly, ”To be honest, I don’t have that much ability. This burden is too heavy; I’m afraid I can’t bear it.”

The atmosphere in the office grew even heavier.

”But...” Lin Yuan’s tone shifted, his eyes sharp, ”I also live in this city. I have no choice.”

”I will do my best.”

Just as Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Lin Yuan continue:

”However, let me be clear. If I truly succeed in this, the mission rewards, resource allocation, and merit points must be at the highest standard, without a single thing missing. I don’t want to fight to the death only to end up with a verbal commendation.”
