Chapter 97: The Ultimate Punch, 【Sure-kill Skill - Spirit Crane Skill!】(5K, seeking first subscription and monthly tickets)_1
Lu Yuan slowly opened the delivery package.
Inside the brown cardboard box was another box.
It was silver-gray with a frosted exterior, giving it a rather high-end look.
This box wasn't locked and opened with a light press of a switch.
Inside, it contained two items: a tablet and a small, palm-sized black box.
Lu Yuan picked up the small box for a closer look but couldn't find any way to open it further.
It was tightly sealed and surprisingly heavy, weighing perhaps five or six Jin. He had no idea what was inside.
So, he turned his attention to the tablet.
The tablet was completely smooth, without any logos or text.
A light tap on the screen, and it automatically powered on.
Then, a video popped up and began to play.
Two minutes later, Lu Yuan's expression was somewhat strange after watching the entire video.
The video was short and mainly covered two points. First, Zhou Ling briefly stated she wasn't dead. Second, it introduced the black box now resting on Lu Yuan's lap.
This thing turned out to be a "bomb"!
A high-tech "trapping" device developed by the Yellow Bear Organization.
Its targets were large beasts or monstrous creatures infected by the evil force.
Evil force. Lu Yuan learned a new term.
He guessed this was probably a collective term the Yellow Bear Organization used for things like the Death Qi of the Crow God Sect and the Gray Gas found in the rat men.
Once activated, this device would emit a "trapping signal," attracting targets to approach.
When the target entered a certain range, then... BANG! It would explode, instantly killing the target.
Simple and crude.
"Entities below Divine Servant Level have absolutely no chance of survival. Before deploying, find a suitable placement location."
Lu Yuan carefully watched the entire video again from beginning to end, memorizing the whole operational procedure.
His fondness for Zhou Ling was growing considerably.
Zhou Ling actually remembered him mentioning the "rat men." Even after "dying," she had specifically sent something to help him with this problem.
It felt a bit like she considered him a friend.
This saved me so much effort. It's truly a gift in my time of need.
Lu Yuan took the tablet and placed the black box back in its case.
In high spirits, he stood up from the bench, carrying the case.
With the case in one hand and the tablet in the other, he headed out of the park.
Displayed on the tablet was an open map app.
Unlike regular mobile map apps, this map had a particularly conspicuous red area.
That was the activity area of the Underground Monster Lu Yuan was searching for, as detected by the Yellow Bear Organization.
The "trapping device" had to be deployed within this area. If it was too far away, the target wouldn't receive the "trapping signal," rendering the trap ineffective.
Lu Yuan zoomed in on the red area of the map on the tablet and first compared it with all the suspected locations his Crow had identified.
He found not a single match.
He was silently grateful that Zhou Ling's delivery had arrived just in time; otherwise, he would have wasted a lot of effort.
Then he found a suitable placement site on the map: a vehicle junkyard on the eastern outskirts of the city.
Few people around, the terrain is relatively flat and open, and if there's an explosion, it can be blamed on the cars... Pretty good.
Having made up his mind, Lu Yuan didn't delay.
He hailed a taxi and headed straight for his destination.
.....
"Today, I'm taking my younger brother to choose a budget car, three thousand max..."
"Congrats to our '08 bro, snagging an '89 Xiali!"
"It's the age of interstellar immigration, and you don't even have a car? Seriously? Come to my livestream..."
When he arrived, no one stopped him. Lu Yuan walked in and saw a few people who appeared to be filming short videos with their phones.
The sun was blazing overhead, but this group didn't seem to mind the heat, each of them brimming with passion.
Lu Yuan paid them little attention and walked straight into the depths of the junkyard.
Passing between the rows of scrapped cars was like traversing a jungle of decaying steel carcasses.
It was only when he had reached an extremely remote spot, where he could see the farmlands outside Burnt Rock City in the distance, that Lu Yuan finally stopped.
Checking the time, it was 9:49 AM.
The sun was growing harsher.
Lu Yuan carried the box to the center of a sunlit clearing and opened it.
Then, following the video instructions, he found the corresponding "activate" and "detonate" buttons on the tablet and pressed the activate button.
The device was quite intelligent.
Even if the operator accidentally pressed the detonate button, it wouldn't explode prematurely.
It had a unique internal identification program to prevent such mishaps.
No particular effect was visible after the device was activated.
However, Lu Yuan's Spiritual Power keenly sensed the small black box in front of him emitting mental waves of a special frequency.
It was just like when he activated his Crow Language skill to summon his Crow.
So this so-called 'trapping signal' is something on a mental level, no wonder...
Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel amazed. He had never expected the Yellow Bear Organization's technology to have reached such a level.
Analyzing the Extraordinary? It was hard to imagine how they had accomplished it.
After the device was activated, a blinking red dot soon appeared in the red area of the map on the tablet.
He didn't need to guess; it undoubtedly represented the Underground Monster he was looking for on this trip.
It was currently moving rapidly towards Lu Yuan's position.
"The trap was successful..." Lu Yuan murmured, watching the dot on the screen continuously move closer.
