Chapter 561 The Old Man Dies
"Let's go! Take us to find the radar equipment."
With a cold expression, the silver-haired man reached out and lifted the old man off the ground.
"Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything improper, don't blame me for being impolite!"
...
"snort!"
The old man glared at him resentfully, said nothing, and weakly took a step, staggering towards the door.
Han Shuo alertly placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword, following behind, ready to draw his blade at any moment.
After leaving the room, the two kept a close watch on the old man the whole way, and nothing unexpected happened during this time.
A few minutes later, led by the old man, the two quickly arrived at a control room.
...
Is it right here?
After entering, the silver-haired man looked around and asked a question with some confusion.
He had already checked this room many times before, but he had not found any radar equipment.
The old man turned around and gave the two of them a cold look. Without saying a word, he walked to the cabinet, opened the door, and casually took out a dark object.
Seeing this, Han Shuo quickly went over to take a look.
Looking at the jumbled parts in the old man's hand, he couldn't help but ask.
"What is this thing? It doesn't look like a radar device at all."
"Ha, how foolish!"
The old man glanced sideways and chuckled, offering a brief explanation as he walked towards the door.
“I’ve already said it, if I die, you’ll never find what you’re looking for.”
"This is only part of the radar equipment."
...
"A portion?"
The silver-haired man muttered to himself, paused for a moment, and then suddenly slapped his forehead.
"My God, no wonder I couldn't find it. It turns out that he had already disassembled the radar equipment into parts and needed to slowly reassemble it."
After hearing this, Han Shuo shook his head with a wry smile and followed the old man out of the room.
He silently made two noises in his mind.
"This old man does have some tricks up his sleeve, but isn't being this cautious a bit inconvenient when he uses it himself?"
"Assembly? It actually needs to be assembled? Who would have thought..."
...
Next, Han Shuo and Yin Fa followed the old man, constantly traversing every corner of the base and collecting the necessary parts.
Before long, the silver-haired man was carrying a bunch of dark metal parts.
To the two's surprise, the old man seemed to be very well-behaved during this time, and did not make any other outrageous moves.
This made Han Shuo even more cautious.
Because he knew that the calm before the storm is often the calm before the storm.
Although he didn't know this man well, he had a feeling that the old man wouldn't hand over the radar equipment to them so easily...
He remained vigilant and never dared to relax his guard in the slightest.
...
Half an hour later, the old man finally led the two of them to his own room.
He struggled to take down the mirror hanging on the bedside table.
Behind the mirror, there was a hidden drawer.
The old man opened the drawer and took out a round screen, the last part needed for the radar instrument.
Then, he turned his head and said coldly.
"Put everything on the bed, I need to start assembling."
"oh."
The silver-haired man responded, threw all the parts he was carrying onto the bed, took a step back, and remained on high alert with Han Shuo.
...
"snort!"
The old man snorted coldly, ignored the two of them, turned around, arranged the parts on the bed, and quickly began to assemble them.
Han Shuo could tell that this person was indeed quite capable and a professional in the field of science and technology.
Those intricate parts, whose names he couldn't recall, were skillfully and quickly assembled together in the old man's hands.
However, neither of them noticed that while the old man was assembling the radar equipment with his head down, he was constantly glancing at a stack of books on the bedside table out of the corner of his eye.
Beneath these books, there was a small box that was not easily noticed.
The reason he agreed to hand over the radar equipment to the two of them was so that he could get closer to this small box!
...
Time passed slowly, and after an unknown amount of time, the old man took a breath and finally finished piecing together the radar instrument in his hands.
"Hmph, here you go!"
He turned around and naturally moved towards the bedside table.
After he stepped aside, the silver-haired man's face lit up with joy.
Sure enough, after all the parts were assembled, a complete radar instrument appeared before his eyes.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock..."
The radar instrument kept beeping, and more than a dozen flashing red dots appeared on the screen.
These red dots mark the locations of all the corpse-covered squads outside.
Silver Hair couldn't contain his excitement. He had just stepped forward to take it when the old man's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly made a new move.
He suddenly pushed aside the books on the bedside table with his right hand, just as he was about to reach for the small box that was only a step away from him.
brush!
A black blade flashed past, its tip piercing through his brow and down to the back of his head.
"Da, da, da da da..."
Fresh blood dripped, drop by drop, from the tip of the knife onto the floor.
...
Han Shuo did not let his guard down until the very last moment.
When he noticed the old man finally making a move, he decisively drew his knife and ended his life.
brush!
The next moment, the Tang sword was sheathed, the old man's eyes widened, and his life force quickly faded as he collapsed into a pool of blood.
"Smack!"
After the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, the biggest mastermind behind the Corpse-Wearing Organization, the old man, finally died at Han Shuo's hands.
...
"What's going on?"
The silver-haired man was a little distracted and was startled when he came to his senses.
He glanced down at the corpse on the floor, then at the books scattered on the bedside table.
Han Shuo frowned, slowly picked up the small box, and spoke.
“I don’t know what this old man’s real purpose is, but it’s definitely a trap. He just tried to take this little box.”
"Um?"
The silver-haired man unconsciously focused his gaze on the small box in Han Shuo's hand.
He reached out and took it, then carefully examined it.
"It doesn't seem like a bomb; it's not heavy enough. Hmm... there's no detonation device either. It just looks like an ordinary box. But it seems like there's something inside. Should we open it and take a look?"
Han Shuo didn't notice anything wrong with the box from the outside. After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"clatter!"
The silver-haired man carefully opened the box, revealing a detonator with a red button in front of them.
At that very moment, several nanobots, invisible to the naked eye, flew out of the box.
They flew into the sleeves of the two men and hid there. Nanotechnology is impossible to defend against!
Although the old man failed to detonate the detonator in his final moments, he did foresee the human tendency to be curious.
It was this curiosity that led the two to instinctively open the small box, causing the nanobots inside to silently attach themselves to them!
