Du Heng originally hoped to keep the nuclear bomb matter a secret until the very end, after all, "Gates of Scorching Heat," "The Last Men," and "Twisted Shadows" only wished to maintain the status quo and not change blindly. Currently, they didn't have the idea of sacrificing themselves to end this disaster.

If they really knew that "Zhuang Sheng" wanted to end everything, including their lives, they would most likely no longer obstruct "Siming" and the other Year Stars, and might even turn against him.

A rabbit will bite when cornered!

To ensure the success of the plan, Du Heng had been concealing his true thoughts, even hiding them from the Year Stars like "Twisted Shadows." Who knew that at a crucial moment, "Siming" would expose him with a single sentence.

While his expression changed slightly, he shouted loudly:

"Listen to me..."

"Siming," who was not far from the room, immediately interrupted "Zhuang Sheng":

"Quickly cut off hearing!

"You can understand the truth by observing the core research area now."

"Zhuang Sheng's" "Mind Implantation" could achieve its purpose without verbal assistance for Awakened below "New World" level, using only brainwaves. But against the Year Stars, it definitely wouldn't work, and he had to go all out to succeed.

As "Siming's" voice echoed in different rooms, this big boss of "Pangu Biology" said to Du Heng on his own:

"Dean, to avoid being noticed by you, I indeed did not directly observe that team. But that doesn't mean I didn't care and only wanted to sleep.

"I've been having the intelligence personnel of 'Pangu Biology' in various locations collect and report to me everything that happened wherever that team went. This includes the fact that the 'Salvation Army' lost a nuclear warhead.

"Although you've taken care of many details, making it impossible to find any traces through investigation, just putting 'that team passed by' and 'a nuclear warhead was lost' together forces me to make some associations.

"Dean, sometimes, the dumbest method is the best method."

Hearing this, Du Heng sighed softly and said:

"What if you guessed wrong?"

"Siming's" voice carried a hint of a smile:

"Even if I guessed wrong, at least I took the opportunity to distract Daffodil and the others."

This was a win-win situation. Guessing right could quickly disintegrate the fighting spirit of those Year Stars in "Zhuang Sheng's" camp. Guessing wrong wouldn't be much different from the situation just now, and might even create some opportunities.

Du Heng sighed:

"You truly are my good assistant."

For him, this was a big problem. If "Gates of Scorching Heat" and the others confirmed the situation and gave up obstructing him, even if they didn't turn against him, Du Heng would be very uncomfortable.

Even if he was the leader of all the Year Stars and controlled "New World," it didn't mean that the personalities he split off could withstand a Year Star one-on-one, or even five-on-one or ten-on-one.

His personalities could only band together, divide into several groups, and each occupy a room, using their authority to delay the advance of "Siming" and the other Year Stars.

As for whether he could block every attacker, he himself wasn't sure.

Besides, his personalities weren't monolithic, otherwise, they wouldn't be called the price.

At least one-third of his personalities didn't want to die at all!

And among the remaining two-thirds, there was also a group of fence-sitters.

Du Heng had barely managed to keep the destruction plan from being sabotaged and interfered with by himself, and it had progressed to its current stage.

His best personality, the one who wanted to be a teacher, the one with the softest heart, and the one who insisted on ending this disaster, had been wandering on the Ashlands for years. Besides wanting to find his "childhood," he was also trying his best to push this matter forward.

--Du Heng and Xiao Chong's bodies were close to holographic projections, used to carry their consciousness. With the help of powerful "Interference Material," "Subconscious Thinking," and other abilities, they appeared to be living people, able to eat, drink, and touch.

He could only hope that other arrangements would work... Du Heng looked down at Shang Jianyao's distorted face.

The personalities floating around Shang Jianyao had undergone new changes compared to before.

They experienced less pain, and their normal states lasted longer.

This meant that their independence had further increased.

Among them, those who valued emotions and considered themselves righteous had, taking advantage of the reduced impact of brain development, unanimously focused on the internal affairs of "Pangu Biology," transmitting power through the barrier to the words in the recorder, and helping to locate everyone on the 2nd to 6th floors.

Among them, the 2nd floor was the "Energy Area," the 3rd and 4th floors were the "Secret Research Area," and the 5th floor was the "Management Area." These were all key areas, and the number of "Mind Corridor" Awakened would not be small.

The 6th floor was where the broadcasting station was located. Shang Jianyao's intention was to help Long Yuehong and Bai Chen clear the surrounding enemies, reducing the difficulty of their subsequent evacuation.

As for the lowest level, considering that it might stimulate the big boss and create unnecessary trouble, Shang Jianyao chose to give up.

In addition to the people on those six floors, Shang Jianyao gave the remaining slots of the first broadcast to the Security Department, focusing on the offices of middle and senior management, the internal affairs troops on patrol, and the employees guarding the gates.

Unfortunately, he had not yet become a Year Star, otherwise, he wouldn't only be able to influence so "few" people.

…………

"Pangu Biology," underground building, inside the "Broadcasting Station."

The team of Security Department internal affairs employees stopped outside and questioned the old man guarding the door.

"Have you seen a young man with a mechanical arm and a woman?" the leader asked.

The old man's heart tightened, and he honestly replied:

"Yes, they just went in a few minutes ago.

"Is there a problem with them?"

Could their D8 and D7 ranks be forged?

"Who are they here to see?" the leader of the internal affairs team asked.

The broadcasting station wasn't big, but it wasn't small either. It would be a waste of time to search without knowing their target.

"To see, to see Feng Yunying," the old man, who hadn't encountered anything like this in years, stuttered a little, "'Bedtime Music' column group."

His memory of the Security Department's aggressive search for people was still from the early days of the New Epoch.

The internal affairs team immediately bypassed the old man and entered the broadcasting station.

Just as they were about to find someone to lead the way, the loudspeaker on the ceiling made a buzzing sound.

Immediately afterward, a slightly deep male voice rang out:

"I have a very serious matter to tell you. The big boss is a Year Star, 'Siming.' The board of directors is called the Shepherd, and we are the flock raised by Him."

Ah? All the members of the internal affairs team and the employees of the broadcasting station simultaneously looked up at the nearest loudspeaker.

"What is this all about?" Most of these people didn't even know what a Year Star was.

In the "Management Area," board director Su Yu suddenly jumped up from his seat, covered in sweat.

After a moment of thought, he shouted loudly to his subordinates outside the door:

"Everyone, quickly block your ears!"

Relying on his proximity to "New World," his high level, and his ability to effectively resist this kind of thought guidance or implantation, he wasn't in a hurry to block his ears. He wanted to hear what the person who hijacked the broadcast wanted to say, no, what he wanted to do.

Of course, Su Yu didn't dare to be careless. He raised both hands and reached for his ears, intending to become deaf immediately if anything went wrong.

At the same time, the broadcast continued:

"The Year Stars feed on human consciousness. This is the origin of 'Heartless Disease.' Our role is to become food for the big boss."

Uh... Su Yu slowed down the movement of his hands towards his ears.

His thick eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was surprised and uncertain.

Almost everyone on this floor was like this, except for a few who blocked their ears in time, including board director and Vice President Ji Ze, who had noticed the abnormality in advance.

"Everyone, a crisis is coming. 'Heartless Disease' will erupt again. You must take this opportunity to escape immediately, leave the underground building, and get rid of the big boss's control."

Shang Jianyao's voice in the broadcast echoed in the "Secret Research Area," turning the researchers' expressions from confusion to fear.

Many Awakened here were unprepared and were affected. They put down their work one after another and rushed to different elevators.

"Keep it up, Dawn is in sight!"

The Security Department employees guarding the entrance of the underground building simultaneously turned their eyes to the gate.

Then, they rushed over, preparing to open it.

"Quick, escape!"

With the utterance of the last two words, the people affected were like they heard the starting gun, they all sped up.

The employees in the "Production Area," "Research Area," and "Inner Ecology Area" listened to the broadcast, half confused and half suspicious.

At this time, many of them saw the Security Department internal affairs employees patrolling nearby running, carrying weapons, and rushing to the elevators.

"This..." If it weren't for the company's deep-rooted authority, ordinary employees might have chosen to follow.

Inside the broadcasting station, Long Yuehong and Bai Chen, after confirming that Shang Jianyao's recording had been played once, left the control room.

They first untied the technician, who had been affected and ran away without looking back.

Then, Bai Chen used methods such as pinching the philtrum to wake up Hou Yi.

Seeing Hou Yi slowly waking up, the two didn't bother to explain anything to the announcer and hurriedly left the recording studio, heading straight for the nearest elevator--anyway, the other party could get the answer by listening to the second broadcast.

They wanted to find their families as soon as possible and protect them from escaping the underground building.

They quickly arrived at the nearby elevators, which were already crowded with people, while Shang Jianyao in the broadcast was still "earnestly" persuading them.

At this moment, an elevator ascended and arrived here.

The elevator door opened, revealing two employees, a man and a woman.

They were Awakened who had come to confirm whether Long Yuehong and Bai Chen's visit to the broadcasting station was normal.

Considering the possible situation in the broadcasting station, the two had put on earplugs from the beginning.

Seeing the crowd surging towards the elevator, they were shocked.

What was going on?

At the same time, the male Awakened, relying on his height of nearly two meters, saw Long Yuehong at the entrance of the elevator.

He recognized that mechanical arm!
