Laser Cannon, Aim!

Fully armed, with only his eyes, nose, and mouth visible, Vulture Li Yao stood in the wasteland like a demon god. Everyone else was stunned by his ferocious aura. The air was thick with the scent of blood. “I never expected Luo Feng to have grown this strong. If not for the Black God Suit, I might not have been confident in defeating him.” Vulture Li Yao narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing within them. “He took two direct hits from me and still didn’t die. And he knows the power of my Black God Suit, so he probably won’t let me get close so easily next time.” Vulture Li Yao was also growing anxious. “There’s only one way!” “Chase him, force him to fly into the air, and once he’s airborne… he’ll be a target for the laser cannon!” A cold sneer appeared on Vulture Li Yao’s face. “Yes, the laser cannon!” Vulture Li Yao’s expression changed. He had just witnessed Luo Feng’s throwing knives wreak havoc among the crowd, killing many. He knew that the laser cannon was humanity’s most advanced weapon. Such high-tech equipment required professional personnel; even with all the components present, Vulture Li Yao couldn’t operate it himself. “Klein!” Li Yao suddenly turned his head. In the distance, a bearded white man ran over, respectfully saying, “Mr. Li.” “How are the casualties in your specialized team?” Li Yao asked quickly. Klein’s face was pale as he respectfully replied, “Our team, including myself, had nine members. Two died and two were injured just now.” “Can you assemble the laser cannon and operate it?” Li Yao pressed. “Hmm…” Klein frowned slightly. Li Yao’s heart skipped a beat. This large-scale laser cannon was humanity’s most powerful weapon, capable of easily eliminating Lord-level monsters and severely wounding King-level monsters! Naturally, many of its components were complex. It was a specialized field, with specific personnel for specific parts. Sometimes, if even one crucial person was missing, the laser cannon couldn’t be assembled. “It’s just the T11-P circuit assembly…” Klein hesitated. “I’m asking you, can you assemble it now?” Li Yao said in a low voice. Seeing Li Yao’s icy expression, Klein was startled. He gritted his teeth and said, “The seven of us can do it together.” “Very good.” Li Yao nodded. “Assemble it immediately.” “Here?” Klein was shocked. “Yes, right here!” Li Yao sneered. “I don’t have time to transport these to the mountaintop. I believe that Luo Feng, more likely than not, won’t be content and will secretly climb to the mountaintop to look at us… The moment he shows his head, the assembled laser cannon can aim at him and kill him!” Li Yao knew very well… Since Luo Feng had already discovered their tracks, transporting these laser cannon components to the mountaintop for assembly might be noticed by Luo Feng. Then… with Luo Feng’s methods, while he couldn’t defeat Li Yao, a mental-force user’s strange abilities could easily destroy the laser cannon. Klein nodded repeatedly. “Yes!” Klein ran towards his team members. Li Yao also walked over to observe the specialists unpacking the boxes, while instructing, “Everyone else, keep a close watch on the surroundings. Absolutely no monsters are allowed to disturb or destroy anything.” “Yes!” Dozens of people responded in unison. Suddenly, there was an uproar from the specialist team. Li Yao looked over, puzzled. “Mr. Li, Mr. Li.” Klein rushed over in a panic. “What’s wrong?” Li Yao asked. “Mr. Li, just now… just now…” Klein’s face was pale and trembling. “Speak!” Li Yao glared. Klein stammered, “When that mental-force user attacked just now, many people around us fled in a panic. Someone, while frantically running to avoid the throwing knives, knocked over a box. And one of those boxes… was pierced through by a stray throwing knife.” “What?!” Li Yao’s expression changed drastically. If a box was merely knocked over, with the cushioning protection of the precision components inside, there might not be a major problem. However, if a throwing knife pierced through a box, the components inside were likely completely ruined. “Quick, open that box for me.” Li Yao walked over. Klein also rushed over in a panic. At this moment, the other team members stood with grim faces beside a box. Li Yao saw clearly that there was a hole on the side of the box, directly貫穿ing it, and even glass shards were visible to the naked eye, indicating the internal components were damaged! “Damn it, damn it!!!” Li Yao’s eyes turned red. Such a huge problem arose right at the start. In truth, Li Yao didn’t know… Luo Feng had only focused on killing people and hadn’t paid attention to these boxes. However, three of the throwing knives had been deflected by the Intermediate Wargod ‘Bei Yuan Gang’. With the incredible speed of the throwing knives, their power remained immense even after being deflected. One of them had pierced through this very box. “Mr. Li, if the component inside is a radar guidance component, it might not be a big issue,” Klein quickly said. “Open it.” Li Yao roared, glaring at the specialists. These specialists also knew… Given their boss’s temper, if the laser cannon was damaged and couldn’t be assembled, their useless lives would likely face only one outcome—slaughter by the boss! Immediately, the specialists quickly disassembled and opened the box. “Clatter!” The box opened. Klein’s eyes widened. “It’s the energy unit?” “Energy unit?” All the other specialists nearby also widened their eyes. “What is it?” Li Yao stared at Klein. Klein carefully examined the box, then excitedly told Li Yao, “Mr. Li, our luck is truly incredible! This pierced box contained the laser cannon’s energy unit. Although two energy units are damaged, one is perfectly intact. This means… the laser cannon has enough energy for one highest-frequency attack. Or, it can launch three lower-frequency attacks.” Li Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was the energy unit. Three lower-frequency attacks were still quite good. Each of these three attacks could easily eliminate the strongest Wargods and the strongest Lord-level monsters. “Proceed with assembly,” Li Yao commanded. “Yes.” All the specialists felt they had narrowly escaped death and immediately began rapid assembly. … In Luo Feng’s hideout within the Ape-Monkey Mountain Range. Inside the dark cave, Luo Feng sat on the ground, leaning against the rock wall, his face a little pale. “Good, no broken bones.” Luo Feng gently rubbed his left elbow. Recalling the previous scene, Luo Feng still felt a lingering fear. “This Vulture Li Yao, his own strength is that of a veteran Advanced Wargod. His brute force alone is probably 400,000 to 500,000 kilograms. With his body’s power amplification of three to four times, one strike is definitely over a million kilograms!” Vulture Li Yao’s previous strike, even with his mental-force interference, hit his shield and still fractured his bone! And in mid-air, Vulture Li Yao’s arm had extended, and the strike he delivered made Luo Feng vomit blood and split the tiger’s mouth of his right hand. However, because this strike was an extension of the ‘Black God Suit’, the power unleashed was only half of its maximum. Both of these strikes… Vulture Li Yao hadn’t been able to unleash his strongest attack. Even so, they left Luo Feng completely unable to retaliate! “His speed is faster than mine.” “His attack is stronger than mine.” “His defense is also much stronger than mine.” “My advantage is that my attacks are more unpredictable, and escaping is easier.” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “That Black God Suit is truly unique. It can extend and expand according to his will, not only covering his entire body but also extending over ten meters. This makes it easy for me to get hit in mid-air.” When he was escaping, Li Yao had even tried to use his extended arm to bind him! If he had been bound, he would probably have been finished. “Next time I fight Li Yao, I must maintain a distance of over twenty meters,” Luo Feng secretly decided. … While Luo Feng rested in his hideout, in the wasteland, Li Yao displayed his formidable power, driving away the leader of an invading monster horde, a ‘Lord-level monster’. Immediately, no other monster hordes dared to disturb these humans. “Mr. Li, all assembled!” Klein excitedly reported. “Oh?” Li Yao walked over. Before them was a large instrument resembling a ‘satellite’. This instrument had two wings nearly ten meters long, with a cylindrical device in the center, like a turbine. On either side of this large cylinder were two smaller cylinders. “Have you located Luo Feng?” Li Yao asked. “Yes, we have.” Klein pointed to the radar display. “Luo Feng is within five kilometers of us. Our radar can barely detect him. However, radar usually searches for large objects; a human body is too small. If the distance increases further… it will be difficult to lock on. In that case, we can only use laser lock.” “Laser lock?” Li Yao frowned. “Yes.” Klein nodded. “Laser-guided lock’s advantage is its extremely high precision, capable of locking onto a distant target. But its disadvantage is… there cannot be any obstacles between it and the target. For example, with a large mountain in the way, laser lock is impossible.” “Of course, the distance is short now, so it’s not necessary. The radar can completely lock onto the target,” Klein said confidently. “Can we kill him now?” Li Yao pressed. “No,” Klein shook his head. “The target is currently inside the mountain range, within a certain mountain. From our position to the target, there are over 300 meters of thick rock! If the laser were to penetrate such thick rock, its power would be completely depleted.” 300 meters of thick rock… Even the most powerful Wargod couldn’t punch through a mountain to a depth of 300 meters. “However, as long as he emerges from the mountain range.” “Or, as long as the obstructing rock thickness is within ten meters, we can blast through the rock and kill him,” Klein said confidently. “Very good.” Li Yao’s eyes gleamed. “Lock onto Luo Feng for me. I refuse to believe… that with this kid’s cunning, he won’t secretly use binoculars to peek at us! The moment the target is in a killable state, eliminate him directly!” “Yes,” Klein responded loudly. Li Yao gazed at the distant Ape-Monkey Mountain Range, a sinister smile appearing on his face. “To die by a laser cannon, you should be proud.”
