As soon as Lu Zhaoming and the others arrived at the safe zone, they learned from the system that Chi Xiao was leading a group of his men in the vicinity.
This news was like a sharp thorn, instantly piercing Lu Zhaoming's heart.
A gloomy expression quickly spread across his handsome, roguish face, and the cold light in his eyes pierced the surrounding darkness like a sharp blade.
"Damn it, that bastard Chi Xiao has actually set his sights on the secrets of 'Project Sky Dome'!" Lu Zhaoming cursed through gritted teeth, his voice filled with a chilling murderous intent.
He quickly calmed down, a hint of composure and determination in his eyes: "It seems this fellow knows quite a bit about our movements; we must proceed with caution."
He turned to Professor Lin, Afu, and Xiaohu, his voice deep and powerful: "Afu, Xiaohu, you two stay hidden and keep watch. Report any movement to me immediately. Professor Lin, come with me."
Afu nodded. Although Xiaohu's face was pale, he still pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes shone with an indomitable light.
Professor Lin, holding the oddly shaped signal transmitter, nodded with a livid face.
Using the system's stealth function, Lu Zhaoming silently approached the location of Chi Xiao.
Like a cheetah, he moved silently through the ruins, each step cautious, for fear of alerting the enemy.
Finally, he reached the top of an abandoned building and, through a broken window, saw Red Owl and his men.
Standing atop a high place, Chi Xiao surveyed the surroundings, his voice as cold and deep as a venomous snake: "The secret of 'Project Sky Dome' lies nearby. We must find it. The outbreak of nuclear war was just the beginning. We must use this secret to usher in a new era and become the true masters of this world." His words revealed a mad ambition, each syllable carrying an invisible threat that weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
Hearing these words from the shadows, Lu Zhaoming became even more vigilant, realizing just how ambitious Chi Xiao was.
If he succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Lu Zhaoming's thoughts began to race, like rolling waves.
He must return as soon as possible and inform everyone of this information.
He quickly returned to where he met up with Afu and Xiaohu, where the atmosphere had become somewhat tense.
When Professor Lin saw Lu Zhaoming return, a hint of urgency flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "What did you find out?"
Lu Zhaoming recounted what he had heard, his tone revealing an undeniable firmness: "Professor Lin, Chi Xiao wants to utilize the power of the 'Sky Dome Project,' but he has no idea of the dangers hidden behind it. My father withdrew from the project back then because he sensed the potential disaster it might bring." Professor Lin's voice trembled slightly, but his tone remained resolute.
Lu Zhaoming's eyes gleamed with determination, and his words revealed an undeniable resolve: "We cannot let Chi Xiao succeed; we must find a way to stop him."
In order to find key clues to the "Sky Dome Project" ahead of others, Lu Zhaoming led his team toward a suspected key location based on previously discovered records about the "Sky Dome Project".
That journey was fraught with unknowns and dangers; every step could be a trap.
But Lu Zhaoming's keen insight and Afu's professional knowledge allowed them to escape danger time and time again.
They carefully made their way through the ruins and onto a narrow tunnel.
The tunnel was riddled with all sorts of traps, and the trap tentacles on the ground could reach out from the darkness at any moment and drag them into endless darkness.
But Lu Zhaoming's mind was like a spider's, having already woven an intricate web of traps within them.
He carefully observed each step and promptly reminded Afu and Xiaohu to avoid it.
With each trap they solved, they gained new clues, bringing them closer to the core secrets of "Project Sky Dome".
The tension in the air seemed to be pressing down layer by layer, making each step feel exceptionally heavy.
Lu Zhaoming's breathing became rapid, but his eyes grew even more determined, like a polished bronze mirror, gleaming with an indomitable light.
Just as they were about to reach the suspected key location, Lu Zhaoming suddenly stopped. His sharp eyes carefully scanned the surroundings, and his voice was low and powerful: "Everyone be careful. Chi Xiao won't let us succeed so easily. There must be an even bigger trap waiting for us." His tone revealed a hint of vigilance, as if he had already sensed some ominous premonition.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhaoming's sharp, hawk-like gaze suddenly sharpened, and his ears twitched slightly.
Damn it, what I feared most really came to pass!
A faint but clear sound of footsteps, mixed with the scraping sound of metal scraping, was rapidly approaching from around the corner in front of them.
The familiar, pungent smell of blood belonging to Chi Xiao's gang of scum in the air, like a stinky sock that hadn't been washed for three days, was wafting into your nostrils and giving you a headache.
"Damn, these leeches arrived fast!" Lu Zhaoming's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile as chilling as the December wind, stinging the skin.
He turned to the three men behind him, who were instantly on edge like startled birds, and said in a low but authoritative voice, "Old Lin, Afu, Xiaohu, grab your weapons! Get ready to feast. Don't let these clueless bastards ruin our good time and disturb our chance to make a fortune!"
Xiao Hu swallowed hard, his knuckles turning white from gripping the steel pipe so tightly, sweat trickling down his forehead, and his legs trembling slightly.
Ah Fu, a seasoned veteran, remained calm and silently raised his large wrench, which could be used as a door panel, his eyes as firm as a rock.
Professor Lin clutched the oddly shaped launcher tightly to his chest, his old face taut like a dried orange peel.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and felt a stream of cold data rush from the system panel straight to his head. Several light blue auxiliary lines and enemy markers flashing red light popped up in front of his eyes, just like he was playing an FPS game with cheats.
"Combat support, activate it for me!" he roared, his eyes suddenly turning incredibly sharp, like a wolf cub that hadn't eaten for three days seeing meat. His entire demeanor changed, instantly switching from the slightly roguish and handsome guy to a cold and ruthless killing god.
He suddenly took half a step forward, blocking everyone's way like a wall, his voice carrying an undisguised mockery and murderous intent: "Let me see who's delivering warmth to whom today, no, who's delivering packages."
