Chapter 279 First Attempt

"I've run into a tricky situation."

"I'll talk to you about this after it's over."

That was Pandora's last message.

When those people appeared, they were searching for treasure just like everyone else.

—In the setting of the airship kingship battle, Mr. Li has stuffed a large number of "original samples" into various places of this behemoth without any clues or hints, and regardless of the level of authority, as long as someone collects them all and obtains 100 samples, he will be able to inherit the entire Heavenly Gospel.

He Yu almost believed it; it was simply illogical that such a scarcity marketing tactic could still be used.

He was pretty sure those things wouldn't be too hard to find; it was just a battle for them—not some kind of brainpower test. The board simply wanted to see these powerful people drop their pretenses and fight like mad dogs.

So, according to their plan, the best thing to do right now is to create a lot of bloody and cruel emergencies, preferably killing everyone. After all, if you want to get the samples and win, you can only take them from others.

Most people still value harmony and will not break off relations until the very last moment. They originally planned to find a few samples and then deliberately leak information to lure people to snatch them. However, before they even started making plans, some reckless people came knocking on their door.

He Yu was strolling around the viewing area when he noticed a shrub with deep blue berries that smelled incredibly fragrant—they looked absolutely delicious. Pandora usually used this as a starting point for a science lesson, but this silly girl said she had urgent business, so this was the first time she'd used the database to look up so many documents.

The public internet has a complete collection of samples. Officials say that this thing is an ornamental plant raised by the remnants of the bloodline of all things. It is not edible at all, and the taste is too astringent. It is only suitable as a decoration.

He Yu didn't believe in superstitions, so he immediately tried one and then nodded silently.

It tastes absolutely awful.

At the same time, he encountered a situation of being surrounded and attacked.

Those people must have been working together temporarily. There were only eight of them, and they were all carrying cold weapons.

They approached silently, moving with great caution.

He Yu was throwing the remaining fruit into the trash can when he turned his head to try to make a call to Pandora. Just then, he caught a glimpse of these people out of the corner of his eye and noticed that they had surrounded all possible escape routes. They looked like professional assassins, which was quite strange.

He was standing under the spotlight when he suddenly smiled at this person.

"That's fantastic," He Yu thought. He had always given off an elegant and approachable vibe. But at this moment, his smile was completely different, filled with a murderous aura that sent chills down one's spine.

The leader was still wearing a formal suit, spotless and seemingly untouched by blood, indicating he hadn't yet joined the killing spree, yet his attire was undeniably refined—these days, everyone seems to value ritual before taking action—realizing he'd been discovered, the man immediately said, "Hey! Relax, we mean no harm—"

As he spoke, he brandished the machete in his hand, its cold reflection gleaming in the lamplight.

Perhaps because they were too slow, these people's weapons were still limited to spiked clubs, machetes, pickaxes, and military-grade awls, which would be considered quite good equipment for ordinary people.

“Buddy, I swear we don’t want any trouble, we just want the samples.” He said to He Yu, his eyes fixed on him, gripping the knife handle tightly, his whole body covered in sweat. “If you have any, just throw them over.”

"I will absolutely not make things difficult for you."

He Yu pondered for a moment—actually, he was trying to figure out what would make Li Lin come out and kill everyone here—when the man saw this, he thought He Yu was just stalling for time, and immediately said, "Hey! I advise you to think this through! You don't even have a decent weapon right now, but there are eight of us!"

He Yu had no choice but to calm down for the time being, tilt his head to look at him, and at the same time take off a branch from the berry tree, which was about the length of his forearm, for no apparent reason.

“So relax, okay? Those with firearms have already started hunting. The situation is about to get complicated, and you certainly don’t want to get hurt—” the leader said, then suddenly stopped and stared ahead—He Yu had disappeared without a trace.

"Hold!"

"That guy's behind you! Watch out!"

He certainly understood what these people were surprised about—come on, what's there to be so shocked about? At this stage, do they still expect anyone to stand in the viewing area like an idiot and wait for the enemy to attack? —It was at that moment that the already tense atmosphere snapped like a bowstring.

Everything took less than three seconds.

Just as these people decided to surround him, He Yu emerged from the shadows, came up behind one of the attackers, and raised his hand to press down on his neck.

The opponent was clearly no ordinary pretty face; in fact, he could be said to have extensive combat experience. His reaction was indeed extremely fast. He sensed something ominous the moment the opponent made his move, but it was all in vain. He Yu simply flicked his finger and shattered the opponent's spine, then used the branch as a sharp knife to stab him.

With two seconds left, he used the properties of the line to cut the others into thousands of pieces.

The spotlight continued to shine on him; he was undeniably handsome, but anyone who had dealt with death could sense the darkness and chill beneath his surface, the irreversible killing intent and indifference. That bloodthirst was hidden beneath his seemingly refined and amiable face, reflecting a dazzling yet suffocating and deadly brilliance under the lights of the airship banquet.
