Wang Ye's expression changed drastically. He quickly stepped forward, looked at the young girl from the Logistics Department, and snapped, "Stop crying!"

The young girl froze for a moment, her wronged gaze turning to Wang Ye, tears welling up in her eyes.

"If you don't want to die, you'd better hold back those tears."

Wang Ye's voice was as calm as ever, as if the corpse that had just died on the ground didn't exist.

"With such poor psychological resilience, how did you even get into the Logistics Department?"

Seeing the girl's despair as she forced back tears, Wang Ye's brow furrowed deeply.

"I, I..."

The young girl gradually calmed her fear but couldn't speak.

"Well, this kid's not bad."

Tian Qi looked at Wang Ye and said thoughtfully, though his tone was still full of sarcasm.

Zhou Han gave Tian Qi a sweet smile, "Are you looking to die~"

Zhou Han's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, making her look exceptionally cute.

"I have a feeling this supernatural event isn't that simple," the burly man said more seriously, looking at their surroundings with a solemn expression.

"Hmph, if they weren't dragging us down, I could have solved this easily."

Tian Qi snorted coldly, glancing at Wang Ye and the other Logistics Department girl, and said with displeasure.

"I really don't know what the higher-ups were thinking, bringing in a few operators. What use are they other than being dead weight?"

For some reason, Tian Qi had a lot of issues with the Logistics Department, including his own operator who had just died.

Wang Ye remained silent, but he had a few guesses forming in his mind.

Currently, most of the Logistics Department staff had gotten in through connections. This was because, comparatively, the Logistics Department was the most secure and comfortable place.

So, as long as a family had some connections, they would try to squeeze in.

This had led to the current chaotic state of the Logistics Department.

However, if Zhang Ziliang, the department head, wanted to reform, he could have done so through more moderate means.

But this decisive, swift action clearly indicated he intended to use the threat of death to scare off those people.

It seemed...

The department head behind him wasn't simple.

He acted ruthlessly, without any hesitation, and wasn't afraid of causing public anger.

"Forget it, let's keep moving forward. We need to find the source of that ghost thing as soon as possible and deal with it."

Tian Qi grumbled unhappily, taking the lead and walking forward.

Wang Ye coldly watched Tian Qi's retreating back, his eyes as still as an ancient well.

Impatient people like him would die before everyone else.

Not long after everyone left, the corpse of the Logistics Department member who had died earlier suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a face that seemed to be crying and laughing. Finally, it stood up in a bizarre posture.

Then, it looked in the direction everyone had left and slowly followed.

"Our Logistics Department's job has always been to handle documents from the rear, so why this time..."

Zhang Ziliang stood with his hands behind his back in front of a large floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of the Candy Amusement Park, lost in thought.

The long-haired youth looked at Zhang Ziliang's back and asked, confused.

After a long pause, Zhang Ziliang sighed leisurely, "Yang Chen, how long have you been in the Logistics Department?"

Yang Chen flicked his somewhat flowing long hair, "One year."

"Yes, one year."

"In this past year, you've seen the environment of the Logistics Department."

"They collude with each other, treating this place like a retirement home. I'm not running a charity, and neither is the Heavenly Group."

"And it's not just the Logistics Department; even the Heavenly Group has become a bit chaotic."

"If I don't act now, it will be too late."

Zhang Ziliang's voice was a bit hoarse, but his tone remained low, even carrying a hint of loneliness.

Yang Chen sighed.

He was an ability user, sent by the higher-ups specifically to ensure the safety of the head of the Logistics Department.

At first, he was very unhappy, thinking why he, a dignified ability user, had to be a bodyguard for an ordinary person.

But by staying by Zhang Ziliang's side, observing his every word, action, and decision, he gradually became convinced.

He realized that ordinary people could also be so outstanding and make significant contributions.

He gradually integrated himself into the Logistics Department.

"The team leader has issued a new policy."

"Squad A will be established in one month."

"There are three squad slots in total, with five people per squad."

"I want to secure a spot for us. With the Logistics Department's inherent resource advantages, our influence will increase significantly. We can put more pressure on the guys in the Intelligence and Action Departments, making them take things more seriously."

"But our achievements aren't enough, after all, the logistics team is almost entirely made up of ordinary people."

Zhang Ziliang sighed and said slowly.

Yang Chen's eyes lit up: "So!!"

"So, achievements need to be filled with lives."

Zhang Ziliang's emotions seemed to calm down, and his voice returned to normal.

"But that will kill a lot of people."

Yang Chen seemed to think of something, his face turned a little pale, and he murmured.

"Every reform requires a cleansing of blood."

"Today's incident is just the beginning. For the next month, all logistics department personnel will be sent on missions."

"Only those who survive are truly talented, not parasites eating away at resources."

"After all, there are too many connections."

Zhang Ziliang's voice carried a hint of iron-blooded killing intent.

Yang Chen fell into silence, not refuting.

"This damn ghost domain seems different from the previous ones."

Tian Qi cursed unhappily, the continuous crying in his ears making him particularly irritable.

Wang Ye followed the young girl, remaining silent.

Zhou Han frowned slightly, her expression annoyed. Her fiery aura perfectly complemented her red trench coat.

"Something's coming!"

After entering the amusement park, the usually quiet strongman's eyes changed. He looked in one direction and said abruptly.

Wang Ye subtly shifted his body, cleverly positioning himself behind the others again.

What sharp intuition this guy has!

I only just noticed it, but this strongman reacted at the same time as me.

Wang Ye thought to himself.

The group stared intently into the green mist for several tens of seconds.

A figure gradually appeared within their sight.

Then, the young girl from the logistics department's pupils contracted slightly, her face filled with disbelief!

"It's him!"

This is my colleague who just died, but how is he alive!

Everything happening before her eyes delivered a massive shock!!!

A sense of immense fear instantly spread throughout her body, making her feel cold.

"Why did you abandon me?"

The figure spoke in a hoarse, low voice, filled with sorrow. Finally, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Why..."

"Abandon me..."
