Chapter 119 "Bomb"?
Chapter 119 "Bomb"?
When Lu Yuan woke up from his dazed state, everything was pitch black in front of him, and he couldn't see anything even though he was wearing night vision goggles.
In the darkness, he reached out and touched something soft and spongy, like a sponge. It didn't feel alive and posed no danger. Then he moved his foot and touched the same sponge-like thing. He felt like he was wrapped in something like a sponge.
Recalling the suffocating feeling of sinking into the sea, Lu Yuan felt that he might have already died. Otherwise, how could he have this soft and light feeling now, especially with the occasional slight fluctuations in his body, like a soul floating in nothingness?
As Lu Yuan was thinking this, he suddenly felt himself plummeting rapidly, but in just a second or two, he felt himself land, as if he had been thrown to the ground...
Perhaps not like...
He suddenly realized that he had been thrown to the ground...
After the man in the trench coat and his large group subdued Qin Yuan and his six companions, they took them back to their base, a tourist development zone called "Seaside Town" in the port city. The development zone was small, just a tourist complex.
A few days ago, the man in the trench coat led the survivors from the port city to this place, where supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and eateries are all available. They used the town's most luxurious hotel as their base.
Back at the base, the six people they had brought back were taken away and detained separately, while the man in the trench coat remained in the hotel lobby, awaiting the return of another group...
"What is this?" Seeing a group of people returning from the dock carrying a white, oval-shaped object, the man in the trench coat stepped forward and kicked the thing. He looked around but couldn't find a way to open it.
"Big brother, we don't know what this is either." The third brother, who was in charge, also kicked the thing. It was white, and he didn't know what was inside. He had studied it several times along the way but couldn't find a switch or lock.
They retrieved the item from the sea on their return voyage. His henchman said that since the item was sealed so well, there must be supplies inside. Since they hadn't found anything on the yacht, they decided to bring it back.
"How was the harvest?" The man in the trench coat couldn't figure out what the white thing was for the time being. He called a few of his underlings to find some tools to try again, and then pulled the third brother aside to ask him. After all, it was a yacht, so there should be some food, right?
"Boss, we didn't find anything, just an empty yacht, and everyone on board jumped into the sea." Another henchman who went with them immediately became furious upon hearing the man in the trench coat's question. "We worked so hard, and all we got was a boat!"
"Nothing at all?" The man in the trench coat released his arm from his third brother's, stroking his stubble-covered chin. "He jumped into the sea too..."
“Brother, I’m sure there was at least one person on board when we surrounded that yacht, but we heard a splash before boarding, and when we opened the cabin door, there was no one there.” Third Brother recounted their operation to the man in the trench coat in detail, without missing a single detail. “There was no food, no supplies, and only one set of protective clothing on the yacht!”
"Where's this thing?" The man in the trench coat walked back to the white object, squatted down, and poked it.
"We caught these in the sea on our way back." Third Brother squatted down next to the man in the trench coat, and soon a few of his underlings brought over some fruit knives, small hammers, and the like. There was a small specialty store in the hotel lobby, which had a full range of common tools.
Listening to the conversation outside, Lu Yuan determined that he was currently in that white, oval shape. That meant he wasn't dead yet!
Thank goodness!
Letting out a long sigh, Lu Yuan began to worry again. He sensed that the people outside were using knives and hammers to destroy his only "protective shell."
"Holy crap! What is this thing made of?!" Third Brother had lost his patience. He wished he had a drill right next to him so he could just drill a hole in it.
"Big brother, this looks like carbon fiber..." Suddenly a voice rang out from behind the third brother. It was a handsome young man wearing glasses. Compared to the elite-looking man in the trench coat, this man had a more scholarly air about him. After he came over, the other underlings who were surrounding him also made way for him. It seemed that his status was about the same as that of the man in the trench coat and the third brother.
"Similar?" The man in the trench coat quickly caught the key word.
“But it shouldn’t be.” The bespectacled man also reached out and touched the oval ball on the ground. “Carbon fiber is obsolete now, but this process doesn’t resemble any material I’ve encountered in school.”
"Can it be opened?" The man in the trench coat had no interest in what the thing was made of; he just wanted to know what was inside. If it couldn't be opened, it would be better to throw it out than leave it taking up space in the base.
"Throw it away." The bespectacled man circled the white invincible object, kicking and pressing it a few times. "Even if there's something inside, we can't open it. Leaving it in the base is more like a ticking time bomb."
As soon as the bespectacled man finished speaking, the man in the trench coat waved his hand, and immediately a group of his underlings rushed forward, lifted the white object again, and headed out of their base.
Of course, they couldn't possibly carry this heavy and useless thing back to the dock and throw it back into the sea, but they also couldn't leave it at the base. A few underlings carried the thing out of the base and casually threw it on the snow.
Lin Yun and Pei Sihao, who had been hiding in the shadows, watched as these people carried the object in and out. Once they had all left, the two of them tiptoed over.
"What is this?" Pei Sihao and Lin Yun were both superhumans, and they easily carried this big thing back to their hiding villa.
"I didn't see any switch or keyhole to open it." Lin Yun also looked at the thing over and over several times, and found that there wasn't a single gap.
"Warning! Warning! You are facing a giant 'human bomb'! Please keep your distance! Warning! Warning! You are facing a giant 'human bomb'! Please keep your distance! Warning! Warning..."
Just as Lin Yun and Pei Sihao were at their wits' end, the oval-shaped object suddenly started rolling on its own and then emitted a "strange" alarm sound...
Well, to put it simply, the sound is like someone trying hard to imitate a mechanical voice, which sounds rather awkward...
