Night fell like a giant black curtain, slowly being drawn back, obscuring the last rays of the setting sun.
Lu Zhaoming stood on a slightly elevated earthen slope, squinting, like a cheetah lurking in the dark, quietly observing the abandoned factory in the distance.
The factory's silhouette looked particularly menacing in the night, like a sleeping behemoth ready to open its blood-red maw and devour everything at any moment.
"Everyone, be on your guard!" Lu Zhaoming lowered his voice, lecturing like a mafia boss, "This place is more dangerous than a widow's bed. One wrong step and you're dead!"
Su Li was standing next to him when she heard this and couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "What kind of time is this to be making dirty jokes?"
However, she also knew that Lu Zhaoming was using his unique sense of humor to ease the tense atmosphere in the team.
"Their cordon is very tight, be careful," Su Li warned, her tone unusually serious.
She didn't want to die here so soon after starting the collaboration.
Lu Zhaoming nodded, indicating that he understood.
He's not the kind of reckless fool who knowingly walks into danger.
With the system at his disposal, it's like he has a cheat code that lets him access the entire map. How could he possibly go head-to-head with him?
"Xiao Cui, you stay outside and provide support. Send a signal immediately if anything happens," Lu Zhaoming instructed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui's face immediately changed, turning deathly pale, like a frightened little rabbit.
She had personally witnessed the cruelty of those scorpion troops; leaving her alone outside was worse than death for her.
"Brother Lu... Brother Lu, can I... can I come with you?" Xiao Cui's voice was trembling with tears as she looked pitifully at Lu Zhaoming.
Lu Zhaoming frowned, thinking to himself that this little girl was really a burden.
But then I thought, I can't be too cold-blooded, after all, we need people right now.
"Alright, just stay behind me and don't wander off." Lu Zhaoming reluctantly agreed.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cui immediately stopped crying and started laughing, nodding repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.
Lu Zhaoming ignored her and instead activated the "Doomsday Judgment System," beginning to scan the surrounding environment.
"Beep beep... Scanning..."
"Three patrol teams were found, located at the factory's main gate, side gate, and rear perimeter wall, respectively."
“The ventilation ducts are located at the back of the factory, in a low-lying area, which is suitable for infiltration.”
The system's notification sounded in Lu Zhaoming's mind like a navigation system.
With this thing, he felt like he had a god's-eye view, with everything under his control.
"Let's go, grab our gear, we'll sneak in from the back!" Lu Zhaoming waved his hand, leading Su Li and Xiao Cui, and quietly made their way to the back of the factory.
It has to be said that this "Doomsday Judgment System" is really useful.
With the help of the system, they successfully avoided all the patrol teams and made their way to the entrance of the ventilation duct.
The ventilation ducts were rusty and emitted an unpleasant rusty smell.
The pipe opening was so small that only one person could barely pass through.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath and was the first to crawl inside.
"Damn, it stinks!" Lu Zhaoming cursed as he crawled forward.
Su Li followed closely behind and also crawled inside.
Although she also found the smell unpleasant, she didn't say anything and simply followed silently behind Lu Zhaoming.
Xiao Cui was the last to enter. She followed behind Su Li with trepidation, afraid that she might accidentally fall into some terrible place.
The three people crawled through the narrow ventilation duct for more than ten minutes before finally reaching a ventilation opening.
Lu Zhaoming carefully pried open the cover of the ventilation vent and looked inside.
What I saw was a huge workshop, filled with all sorts of instruments and equipment.
In the center of the workshop, there is a terminal device that is still running, with a large amount of encrypted data displayed on its screen.
"It seems this is the place we've been looking for," Lu Zhaoming said in a low voice.
He gestured for Su Li and Xiao Cui to stay where they were, and then he lightly leaped down into the ventilation shaft.
After landing, Lu Zhaoming quickly scanned his surroundings and, after confirming that there was no danger, walked towards the terminal device.
He walked up to the terminal device and skillfully began operating it.
It has to be said that this "Doomsday Judgment System" is truly amazing; it can not only solve cases but also crack all sorts of codes.
In just a few minutes, Lu Zhaoming successfully cracked some of the information on the terminal device.
“Purification plan? Experimental samples? Control devices?” Lu Zhaoming looked at the data on the screen, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
"These guys are actually doing such heinous things!" Lu Zhaoming cursed angrily.
Su Li also jumped down, walked to Lu Zhaoming's side, and looked at the data on the screen. Her expression turned extremely ugly.
"If this data is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable," Su Li said worriedly.
Lu Zhaoming nodded in agreement.
If this data is leaked, it will definitely cause a huge uproar, and the entire wasteland world will be plunged into chaos.
“We must take this data with us!” Lu Zhaoming said.
He quickly activated the system's copy function and began copying data from the terminal devices.
However, at that moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the workshop.
"Lu Zhaoming, you really are here."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaoming's expression changed, and he abruptly raised his head.
At the entrance to the workshop stood a woman with a voluptuous figure.
She wore a tight-fitting black leather outfit that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.
