Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 857 - 548: Thunderbolt

Ancestor Factory Headquarters Building.

Top floor.

Yue Gengyang opened a room that was normally inaccessible to outsiders.

It was a room that Feng Yi’s grandmother had specially created when the headquarters building was constructed.

He entered the password to unlock it, and the ceiling above slowly retracted.

"There are no surveillance devices nearby, no suspicious aircraft in the sky, and the clouds above are obscuring the view... there’s also a curtain here that lets light through but not people. Should that not affect your performance?" Yue Gengyang looked toward Feng Yi.

Feng Yi nodded.

Yue Gengyang continued, "There’s also an ultra-strong... a certain strength of load-bearing structure here."

Feng Yi said, "That should suffice."

Yue Gengyang stepped aside.

Feng Yi looked at him.

Yue Gengyang: ?

"Oh!"

He realized what was required, took a few more steps back, left the room, and closed the door.

Outside the room was a resting area, where A’que sat on a sofa.

Yue Gengyang also went over and sat down.

He opened his laptop and checked his messages. Of course, he wasn’t looking at the news online, but the latest updates from his people stationed at the offshore testing site. There was a sudden and vicious outbreak of tornadoes there.

In addition, there were messages from other branches, subsidiaries, and various business offices from around the world about the latest weather developments.

At this moment, it seemed that only the offshore testing area was experiencing multiple tornadoes.

However, Yue Gengyang believed that this would not be an isolated incident and that other places would soon experience anomalies as well.

Of course, Yue Gengyang was not very worried at the moment.

The "wind vane" was stirring, and he trusted in the wind vane even more.

He glanced at the closed door again.

He really wanted to see what the "wind vane" operation looked like!

But reason told him it was too dangerous, he should banish the thought and just sit here checking his messages.

After going through the information, Yue Gengyang looked at A’que sitting beside him.

Knowing A’que’s personality and being used to his silence, Yue Gengyang did not expect him to initiate a conversation.

So he asked, "A’que, do you feel that something is off?"

"Everything feels off," A’que replied.

"I’m not asking about you personally. I mean, do you feel something is off outside?"

"Everything is off."

"...For example?"

"Temperature changes."

Yue Gengyang glanced at the indoor thermometer and checked the outdoor temperature changes over this period.

He didn’t notice any problem.

A’que noticed his confusion and, without waiting to be asked again, volunteered, "The air, the seawater, the temperatures are all becoming very strange."

"Then do you have any other impressions, like wanting to do something?"

"I want to find a safe place to hide."

"A safe place? Where?"

"Here."

"...That makes perfect damn sense!" Yue Gengyang clapped softly.

When exceptional weather occurred, where could be safer than here?!

While they were discussing this, they suddenly fell silent.

A’que’s usually expressionless face tensed, his pupils dilated, and his muscles instantaneously entered a state of high alert.

Yue Gengyang’s reaction wasn’t as profound as A’que’s, but in that instant, he too felt an indescribable pressure as if it penetrated deep into his bones!

Tension, panic, uncontrollable emotions—though he tried to calm himself, his heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became labored.

It was as if other sounds were inaudible, and his sense of smell and touch were dulled.

It seemed as if he saw colossal clouds, thousands of meters thick, bringing with them a heavy, oppressive atmosphere like a storm brewing overhead.

The feeling eased after a while.

Yue Gengyang took a deep breath, and once he was calm, he sighed:

"I truly felt as if the sky was falling just now."

Without expecting a response from A’que, Yue Gengyang quickly picked up his phone to contact Ji Fan at the laboratory.

The couple had already agreed that he would stand by Feng Yi while Ji Fan monitored the equipment in the laboratory.

Ji Fan told him, "Just now, a few instruments in the lab showed reactions, but I didn’t feel anything significant. Several important materials and intermediates are all normal."

As she spoke, she also inquired about Feng Yi’s situation.

Yue Gengyang said, "It’s still in progress... it’s still ongoing. This is truly a fight against nature!"

Fortunately, everything remained stable. Yue Gengyang felt slightly relieved and contacted other colleagues who had remained at the company.

By this time, most of the staff had left the headquarters building.

He had already given the night shift staff on the floors near the top the evening off. But there were still a few positions occupied, such as the security personnel.

After probing around, Yue Gengyang found that no one else seemed to sense any anomalies.

Sitting silently beside him this whole time, A’que said at that moment, "Below this floor, it’s hard for ordinary people to notice."

Yue Gengyang: "Oh, right."

You could’ve said so earlier!

Yue Gengyang put down his phone and started to go through the emails on his laptop, fidgeting a bit, occasionally glancing toward the closed door of the room, then checking the latest weather updates.

The situation outside was looking more and more dire!

After a while, Feng Yi finally came out from inside, frowning deeply.

Yue Gengyang, worried, stood up and handed him a cup of warm tea, asking, "Not going well?"

Feng Yi shook his head, "I don’t know where the storm will ultimately break out, but I can confirm it won’t be here. The fuse has been lit, and wherever it passes, abnormal weather will occur. I can’t extinguish the fuse; the most I can do is to push this small section of the fuse I’m on toward a direction away from the land."

He was intending to cause the extreme convective weather that would have emerged here to take place over an uninhabited sea area.
