Chapter 1192: Chapter 1192

"What’s wrong? Can’t you handle it?"

Chen Cang nervously looked at Tang Xin.

"No, the situation is much simpler than I imagined."

Tang Ming frowned slightly; the poisoning of these people was much weaker than the genetic poison he had encountered in the secret chamber before.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ming understood.

The genetic poison in that secret chamber was specially refined to deal with him; it should be the most potent poison currently available.

For these ordinary people, inhaling that level of genetic poison would result in instant death.

Since the other party wanted to experiment with live subjects, they naturally wouldn’t use such a potent genetic poison on ordinary people; otherwise, if the poisoned died instantly, what further research could be conducted?

This made things simple. Silently, Tang Ming used his cultivation to absorb the genetic poison from the poisoned individuals into his own body, then refined it into energy that could enhance his cultivation.

Half an hour later, all the poisoned people regained consciousness.

Chen Yuan, along with the hotel staff, began to comfort and reassure the poisoned individuals, promising them that the hotel would offer some compensation.

Seeing Tang Xin effortlessly detoxify all the poisoned people, Chen Cang was stunned.

Chen Cang had heard that when someone was poisoned at the Liu Group, Tang Ming nearly exhausted himself saving just one or two people!

Yet this Tang Xin saved over a hundred people effortlessly; the difference in capability was astonishing!

Previously, Chen Cang had suspected that Tang Xin and Tang Ming might be the same person, but now it seemed that Tang Xin was even more skilled than Tang Ming!

Not only was his cultivation powerful, but his detoxification ability far surpassed Tang Ming’s. Coupled with the height and build differences, he no longer had any doubts.

On the other hand, Lin Xue was also shocked when she learned that Tang Xin had indeed saved all the poisoned individuals.

She knew Tang Xin was Tang Ming, but she hadn’t expected Tang Ming to become so formidable now.

Tang Ming adjusted his clothes and looked at Chen Cang: "You guys handle the aftermath. Make sure the public relations are managed well. No matter what, the hotel’s future operations must not be affected, understand?"

"Understood, understood. I’ve already notified the PR department to maintain the hotel’s image, and I will have Chen Yuan interact with the poisoned individuals one by one until they are satisfied."

Chen Cang nodded repeatedly, looking at Tang Ming hopefully: "Can we go see my masters now?"

"I’ll start checking from the bottom up, floor by floor, to see if there are any remaining viruses in the hotel."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Ming headed to the stairs and began checking each floor, ensuring the safety of the rooms.

Walking up, Tang Ming discovered that the poison source in the hotel seemed to be food poisoning.

The executive lounge on the 6th floor was the virus’s point of origin, which explained why only the staff on the 5th, 6th, and 7th executive floors were poisoned.

These were the only floors whose residents had access to the dining room on the sixth floor, while others had to eat elsewhere.

Having located the source, Tang Ming began devouring all the food in the dining room, including some that had been poisoned.

"Wow, no wonder, being Tang Ming’s brother, his appetite is apparently even more frightening,"

Watching Tang Ming alone sweep through the dining room, Chen Cang exclaimed in surprise at the door.

At this time, Tang Ming’s appetite had increased significantly, because the Dust Gu in his body had mutated, requiring much more energy.

After such exertion, Tang Ming was nearly energy-depleted and urgently needed replenishment, thus his appetite was much larger than before.

After finishing all the food in the dining room, Tang Ming contentedly followed Chen Cang to the room on the seventh floor where Chu Batian and Xin Badao were staying.

"Group Leader Tang, this is the room where my two masters are. You have to save them."

Chen Cang pulled out the key card, swiping it nervously while watching Tang Ming.

"Don’t worry, they’re under my command, so naturally..."

"Huh, why isn’t the door opening?"

Chen Cang’s confused voice interrupted Tang Ming.

Chen Cang swiped the key card several times, but the door wouldn’t open, as if the lock was broken.

"Strange! Should I just kick it in?"

Chen Cang flared with anger, putting away the card and preparing to force the door open.

Tang Ming pushed Chen Cang aside, crouching down with a grave expression, examining the bottom of the door.

Chen Cang looked at Tang Ming in confusion, then noticed a black oily substance sealing the door gap: "What is this stuff?"

Tang Ming touched it with his hand, frowning: "This door can’t be forced open."

"Why? Will it explode?"

Chen Cang instantly tensed up.

"Explode your sister."

Tang Ming rolled his eyes at Chen Cang, explaining: "Since someone sealed the door gap, it indicates the virus inside might spread. An Sheng and others were worried about viral spread, so they sealed it."

"No way! Didn’t you say the virus wasn’t infectious?"

Chen Cang immediately questioned, confused.

"I meant the virus in the poisoned individuals isn’t infectious. But what if it’s toxic gas inside?"

Tang Ming squinted his eyes, his expression becoming serious.

Chen Cang jumped in shock, exclaiming: "If there’s toxic gas inside, opening it would endanger the entire hotel."

"Exactly, such ruthless methods! Even if Xin Badao and Chu Batian are Poison Cultivators, they couldn’t survive in toxic gas for long. Given the time elapsed, they are likely already dead."

Tang Ming nodded, his face grim as he looked at Chen Cang: "Go inform Lin Xue to have the police assist in evacuating the hotel’s guests."

"But that might not be wise. If these people leave the hotel, it’ll easily cause panic outside."

Chen Cang looked at Tang Xin with concern. Jun Tianhao Hotel’s reputation was already tarnished, and releasing people before resolving the situation might cause unforeseen problems.

"Are you a pig brain? Just claim that terrorists poisoned the hotel and planted a biological bomb, then pin everything on the woman who self-detonated and on An Sheng. With police verification, the hotel can clear its name."

Tang Ming ordered irritably.

"Oh, oh, okay, I get it now. I’ll go do it right away."

Chen Cang suddenly understood. Just as he turned to leave, he stopped again: "After we evacuate, what about you? Will my masters be in danger, and what about the toxic gas in this room?"

"Is that something for you to worry about?"

Tang Ming gave Chen Cang a cold glance, "If you have a solution, take care of it. I’ll step down for you."

"I... never mind, I’ll just leave."

Chen Cang opened his mouth, then obediently left the scene—this was beyond his responsibility.
