Ten combat mechs, equipped with automatic firearms, charged at the front line. They had no concern for their own losses, and self-detonation power skills only affect living beings, not mechanical ones.

A short cylindrical object was suddenly thrown into the house, followed by a loud explosion accompanied by a blinding flash of light.

Then, two disabling bombs were thrown in, repeatedly causing explosions and flashes. Tear gas quickly filled the room, and after intense coughing, two bodies fell powerlessly to the ground.

At the same time, without any hesitation, the combat mechs reacted swiftly, rushing into the smoke and fire-filled house.

Just when everyone thought they had succeeded, a red light flashed inside the house. The entire building was blown apart from the inside, sending doors and windows flying, walls bursting outwards, and flames surging forth, even blowing open the second floor above.

The nearby combat personnel retreated or dove for cover, but the combat mechs fearlessly charged ahead, undaunted even when blasted askew by the shockwave.

Many fragments rained down on the residential area, yet they were quickly stopped by an invisible force, preventing further damage.

"It exploded!"

A chorus of exclamations arose from everyone on the rooftop where Chen Fei stood.

Observers from the rooftops of several nearby buildings and windows facing the residential area reacted similarly.

"Is it that self-detonating ability user?"

Miyoshi Xuesen widened his eyes, gazing at the county's residential area where smoke had risen once more.

Monk, lacking the visual psi skills of Chen Xiao'er, couldn't see clearly no matter how hard he tried, until Chen Fei, unable to bear it, handed him a telescope to discern the chaos on the scene.

Fortunately, personnel had been evacuated in time; otherwise, it would have triggered a chain reaction of escalating chaos.

"I think... not!"

Chen Fei instructed the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" to replay the footage of the combat mechs rushing inside the house and their subsequent scans at the explosion site.

Through artificial comparison, it was confirmed that the explosion originated from within the body, with flames bursting indiscriminately from the torso, limbs, and head, involving more than one person.

The self-destruction power skill can certainly be used on others, but whether it can be used on oneself is questionable.

Chen Fei leaned toward believing the hostages were the unlucky ones; the captor might not necessarily be that adept in self-destruction power skill, but likely a cohort's identity couldn't be ruled out.

He turned to the security personnel watching from the rooftop, pointing toward the residential area: "Tell them to disperse and separate the crowd into groups of ten. There's bound to be one that slipped through; that self-detonating ability user is very likely still around."

The communication channels among the factory's security should soon convey Chen Fei's words to the scene.

"Alright, sir!"

One security member nodded firmly, responding loudly, then began reporting through his earpiece.

"If it were me, I could identify them with the naked eye alone; there's no need to make such a fuss."

Feeling he missed a chance to show off on-site, Monk couldn't help but mutter to himself.

A finger suddenly tapped on his head, accompanied by a deep voice beside his ear.

"You've blown yourself up!"

"Damn it!"

The Monk shuddered in fright, looking to where the voice came from, only to find that it was none other than Chen Xiao'er pulling this prank — truly outrageous!

The ninja squad did not react... they were all comrades, after all, what's there to react to?

Monk was utterly sold out by his own comrades!

Miyoshi Monk protested in shock: "Amitabha Buddha, what are you trying to do? Scaring someone can be deadly!"

"Can you withstand an explosion of that magnitude?"

Chen Fei tilted his head, indicating the direction of the residential area.

The remains of the prefab house where the internal explosion occurred matched the power of two kilograms of explosives, meaning it was indeed the result of two people self-detonating together.

"Seems... impossible!"

Monk hesitated, swallowing hard, ultimately bowing to reality.

Even as an A-level Dark Elemental Psychic, he was still a mortal composed of flesh and blood. Forget one kilogram of explosives; even one tael would be enough to easily take his life.

The chaos within the residential area had not yet subsided, with the identification process proceeding orderly. On-site, psychic power users were employing psychic series spells or psi skills to manage the emotions of Meilan County residents, maintaining the stability of the security check process.

Since the commencement of the identification process, factory security had already screened several suspicious individuals from the residential area, detained them separately, and injected them with a supernatural ability suppressant — better to err on the side of caution. In case one turned out to be a big catch, it would at least pre-emptively neutralize this threat.

Through data intercepted by the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" at the identification site in the residential area, a total of 4,473 individuals, including men, women, and children, had been identified, with more than half of the process completed so far.

With advanced DNA testing equipment, verifying genetic information takes only a few minutes.

The truth cannot be faked, and what is fake cannot be made true; no matter how advanced the disguise, it cannot alter one's DNA information, so in front of the testing equipment, all devils and monsters would have nowhere to hide.

Suddenly, a group of ten people waiting to extract cell samples violently erupted without warning, attempting to attack the collection personnel and their equipment.

Yet in the next moment, nine of them collapsed to the ground like deflated balloons, with only one still resisting in vain. A few electric shock needles impaled him, followed by an injection dart, swiftly completing the suppression.

As a top-tier conglomerate, Louis Industries is rich in talent; once on guard, a few wrongdoers attempting to stir trouble wouldn't find it easy at all.
