Chapter 442: Chapter 216: The Great Gold Heist_3 Chapter 442: Chapter 216: The Great Gold Heist_3 Under the influence of the Universal Space, the steel-reinforced concrete component began to crack where it joined with the cement of other components. However, this also led to the rapid depletion of Yan Fei's spiritual power. The swift drain of energy even caused Yan Fei to experience a blackout, but just as he was about to lose consciousness from the exhaustion of his spiritual power, the giant steel-reinforced concrete component finally broke free from the adhesive cement and was instantly absorbed into the Universal Space by Yan Fei.

Yan Fei's vision darkened, and he felt extremely weak. It seemed that the retrieval of the huge concrete component had taken a significant toll on him. Nevertheless, his effort was worthwhile, for before him lay the largest gold vault in the world, and now nothing stood between him and it.

The steel-reinforced concrete components in the Underground Gold Vault were arranged in a staggered manner, so the removal of one component did not cause a collapse. However, the detection equipment inside the vault immediately noticed the anomaly, triggering the alarm system, and soon the underground gold vault echoed with the shrill sound of alarms.

Once again, Yan Fei took out the Black sphere and quickly replenished his exhausted energy using the Mysterious Energy within. He then donned an Oxygen Mask, retrieved all the Smoke Grenades from the Universal Space, activated them, and tossed them inside the Underground Gold Vault. The smoke grenades emitted copious amounts of multicolored smoke, swiftly filling the entire vault, and also obstructing the view of the Surveillance Cameras so that no one outside could discern what was actually happening inside.

In the Control Room of the Underground Gold Vault, the staff had detected something amiss and immediately activated the Air Pumping Equipment to rapidly extract the air inside, intending to turn the vault into a Vacuum state to suffocate any intruder. However, Yan Fei had already connected the vault to the outside Mine cave, which itself had a connection to the external world. Therefore, it was impossible to create a Vacuum state inside the vault in such a short time. The Smoke Grenades continued to release smoke, and even with the Air Pumping Equipment working hard to clear the smoke, they could not remove all the smoke quickly enough, leaving the outside observers still unable to see what was actually happening inside the vault.

After all his efforts, Yan Fei was ready for this very moment. He stepped into the vault and immediately triggered more of the security mechanisms, but he didn't care–after all, the alarms in the Underground Gold Vault had already been set off. Yan Fei's vision was exceptional, and even through the thick smoke, he could clearly see the conditions inside the vault, especially the Gold Bricks that were clearly visible to him.

Yan Fei quickly approached, barely touching the piles of gold bricks and the shelves they were on, and they were absorbed into the Universal Space. He swiftly moved to the next location, collecting more Gold Bricks…

Outside the Underground Gold Vault, the piercing alarm was deafening. Hearing the alarm, the Security Personnel felt somewhat at a loss. This alarm differed slightly from the contingency plans previously devised for the vault since it originated from within the vault. Their regular security drills mostly practiced resisting attacks from the outside, and no one had expected an actual assault on the world's largest Gold Reserve Vault.

Fortunately, the security measures of the Underground Gold Vault were very comprehensive and advanced. Upon detecting the heavy smoke inside, the managers immediately initiated security protocols to extract the air from the vault and turn it into a Vacuum, intending to trap and kill any intruders. However, due to Yan Fei removing the concrete component used as a wall, the air inside was now connected to the outside, preventing the vault from being turned into a Vacuum no matter how the equipment functioned.

Seeing that they could not turn the vault into a Vacuum state, the Guard personnel wanted to open the massive vault door to inspect the situation inside. However, the procedure to open the vault door was very complicated, and since the door itself was extremely heavy, it would take a long while to open. They simply couldn't enter the vault in such a short time and could only watch from outside as the smoke billowed within.

Ten minutes later, the door of the Underground Gold Vault was finally opened. The Fully Armed Guard personnel immediately rushed inside, only to find, aside from the pervading smoke, not even a single suspicious person. The places where Gold Bricks had previously been piled were now empty, and countless gold bricks had seemingly vanished into thin air.

Once the smoke inside the vault had completely cleared, the Guard personnel realized that the vault was truly empty, with not a single piece of gold left. They were shocked and began inspecting the walls of the vault, but found that the walls were intact as before. The floor was also very clean, with no suspicious Items found. Hence, they could not fathom how so much Smoke could appear in the sealed vault, nor how the abundant gold disappeared so suddenly.

It was only when the Guard personnel were inspecting a large section of the concrete and steel wall that they noticed some cement had crumbled in one of the joints. They felt puzzled–could someone have tunneled into the vault through this wall and stolen all the gold? But the wall weighed a hundred tons; who could have the ability to move the wall even slightly? Furthermore, with so much gold inside, who could transport it all away in just over ten minutes?

As everyone puzzled over these questions, one of the Guard personnel suddenly shrieked. Everyone instinctively turned to look and saw that the person had just stepped on and killed a rat. Their confusion deepened. The vault was, in some respects, cut off from the World, making it impossible for creatures like rats to be present inside. So, where did this rat come from?
