"Go, why not go?" Lu Shiyan's lips curved, "The arrow is on the string, it has to be fired."
"Lei Laohu wants to watch a show, so we'll put on a grand performance for him."
A cruel arc curved at the corner of Lu Shiyan's mouth.
"However, how this play is sung, and what tune it's sung to, is up to us to decide."
"Our goal is not just to blow it up."
Lu Shiyan's gaze directly locked onto Su Wan. He didn't beat around the bush.
"That armory..." He paused, his voice sinking even lower, "I want to... empty it."
"Empty it?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then reacted, his eyes instantly lighting up.
"Damn! You mean... put it into Little Su Wan's space?"
Su Wan looked at Lu Shiyan, understanding his meaning. This idea was too crazy, and too tempting. If the Scorpion's armory was also brought into her space, wouldn't she make a huge profit?
"Exactly." Lu Shiyan nodded.
"Isn't Lei Laohu trying to make us cannon fodder? Then we'll be... the fattest cannon fodder this time."
"We'll directly take the Scorpion's lifeblood."
Xiao Han slapped his thigh, making a loud, crisp sound.
"Awesome! Too awesome!" He was so excited he almost jumped up.
"Blowing it up is nothing, just directly rob it!"
"This is called fighting a way out! This is what you call... dog eat dog!"
"How much can be collected, and how to collect it, are all questions."
"But it's better than just blowing it up." He looked at the two of them, his eyes sharp.
"If we blow it up, we get nothing."
"If we collect it and then blow it up... then it's ours."
A Mo and the others returned at noon.
Lu Shiyan briefly outlined the plan to "empty the armory and then blow it up."
Li Xinhu and Li Kui's eyes widened as they listened. After a long while, Li Kui grinned: "Boss, this is much more exciting than just blowing it up!"
A Mo was calmer. He pondered for a moment: "The key is how Little Su Wan can safely approach the armory and have enough time to transfer the supplies."
"So, I need your cooperation." Lu Shiyan looked at Li Xinhu and Li Kui, "Your mission is to, when we act, attract the Scorpion's attention to other places as much as possible. Make a big commotion, but ensure your own safety."
A Mo was responsible for the rendezvous, while Li Xinhu and Li Kui were responsible for causing some minor trouble in other areas of the Scorpion's base at night to draw some fire.
The night was as dark as ink, and one couldn't see their hand in front of their face.
Lu Shiyan, Su Wan, and Xiao Han, like three phantoms, silently moved through the shadows of the Scorpion's stronghold.
The thud of the patrol's boots came from afar, then gradually faded away.
Each time, they narrowly avoided detection.
"This way." Lu Shiyan whispered, making a gesture.
He was agile and decisive in his movements, familiar with the terrain here as if it were his own backyard.
Su Wan followed closely, her mental energy highly concentrated, sensing every rustle of wind and blade of grass around her.
Xiao Han brought up the rear, occasionally nervously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, muttering softly: "Exciting, this is so damn exciting."
After many twists and turns, avoiding several visible and hidden sentries, they finally infiltrated a relatively secluded barracks area.
Lu Shiyan suddenly stopped, his gaze fixed on an inconspicuous corner.
There, a thin figure was furtively peeking around.
Lu Shiyan gave Xiao Han a look.
Xiao Han grinned, rubbing his hands: "Leave it to me."
He crouched low and darted over in a few steps. Before the person could react, a hand chop landed on the back of his neck.
"Ugh!" The person grunted, falling softly.
Xiao Han carried the person back and threw him on the ground, simultaneously patting and searching him quickly. Aside from a few useless bone fragments, he found no obvious weapons. He pouted: "Searched him, no weapons on him."
"Hey, wake up." Xiao Han patted the person's face.
The guy's eyelids fluttered, he grunted, and finally, groggily opened his eyes.
"Mommy!"
Before he could let out a full wail, Su Wan had already pulled out a piece of rag from her space and, with a "whoosh," stuffed it into his wide-open mouth!
"Mmm! Mmm mmm mmm!"
Lu Shiyan was expressionless, the dark muzzle of his gun clicked, resting coldly against his forehead.
"The armory."
His voice was deep, devoid of any warmth.
"Dare to play tricks, or lead us in circles," Lu Shiyan paused, pushing the gun forward another half-inch, "I guarantee, your head will be more rotten than a watermelon."
The cold metallic touch made all the hairs on the guy's body stand up, and cold sweat instantly soaked his tattered clothes from behind.
He nodded frantically.
"Hey, that's more like it!"
Xiao Han grinned, reaching out and, with a "smack," tore the rag from his mouth, then patted his cheek casually.
"Buddy, a wise man submits to circumstances, understand?"
"Understand, understand, I understand!" The person scrambled to his feet, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Sir, madam, brave sirs, I'll lead the way, I'll lead the way right now!"
He trembled as he led the way.
Indeed, this guy was truly familiar with the ins and outs of the stronghold!
He took them through many twists and turns, specifically choosing those dark, deserted corners where not even a ghost could be seen.
"Looks like he's spent a lot of time digging around here." Xiao Han muttered softly.
No sooner said than done! The little guide, taking advantage of Xiao Han's attention shifting to a fork in the road ahead for a split second, suddenly ducked down.
From a hidden compartment inside his tattered trouser leg, he lightning-fast pulled out a thumb-sized, black, cylindrical object. "Whoosh—" A sharp whistle! A blood-red light, trailing sparks, shot straight into the night sky!
"Damn!"
Xiao Han's eyes instantly turned red, and he cursed under his breath:
"Son of a bitch, you dare to ambush me!"
The kid was slippery. He rolled on the ground, avoiding it!
"Where's the person?!" Xiao Han was baffled, "Damn it! Where did he go?"
Su Wan was also shocked. A living person who was just there, gone in the blink of an eye?!
"It's invisibility!" Xiao Han stamped his foot in anger, "This grandson actually has an invisibility ability!"
He pointed at the empty space, cursing loudly: "If you have guts, come out for me!"
Lu Shiyan didn't even bat an eyelid. "Seeking death."
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Two thick, dark green vines, as thick as a man's arm, materialized out of thin air beside Lu Shiyan's raised arm and shot out rapidly!
Su Wan saw it clearly!
Those vines... those vines actually, as if possessing their own consciousness, directly wrapped around a mass of—seemingly empty air?!
She immediately understood that Lu Shiyan, with his perception far exceeding ordinary people's, had precisely located the invisible person.
"Ugh ah—!"
A man's shrill scream suddenly burst out from that "air"!
The vines instantly tightened, emitting a grinding, teeth-aching muffled sound!
The sound of bones being crushed inch by inch could be heard!
A blurry human silhouette appeared for a moment in violent struggle, then was completely throttled by the vines, slumping down.
That "air" turned into a bloody, mangled person, limply falling to the ground, no longer making any movement.
Xiao Han's mouth was open, the "son of a bitch" he was about to blurt out was forcibly swallowed back.
He looked at the bloody, mangled mess on the ground, then at Lu Shiyan, who hadn't changed his expression or heart rate.
"I... damn..."
He squeezed out two dry words from his throat, only feeling a chill "whoosh whoosh" rising up his neck.
This is... too ruthless, isn't it?! How did he see the invisible man?!
Su Wan also pursed her lips, not saying anything, but her gaze towards Lu Shiyan became a little complex.
In the past, she would definitely have found him cruel and perverted, but tonight, for some reason, she felt...
This man...
This ruthless killing without blinking an eye...
How could it be... a little... handsome?!
In the distance, a sharp alarm suddenly blared. The lights within the stronghold also began to flicker on one by one. "Hurry!" Lu Shiyan growled. Large numbers of figures were rushing towards them.
