As Lu Zhaoming looked at that eerie red light, a million curses ran through his mind.
This isn't a celebratory cannon salute for newlyweds; it's a death knell!
He quickly activated the "Doomsday Judgment System," and a dense stream of data appeared before his eyes.
"System, scan this thing for me!" Lu Zhaoming silently chanted in his mind. Just looking at this thing made his scalp tingle.
The system truly lives up to its reputation as a cheat code; it's extremely efficient.
A few seconds later, the scan results came back: "Unknown energy device, suspected to be connected to the core control system of the safe house. The energy fluctuations are extremely unstable. The host is advised to evacuate immediately!"
"Holy crap, are we playing this big?" Lu Zhaoming's lips twitched. This wasn't a safe house; it was a ticking time bomb!
He made a decisive decision to retreat strategically.
"Xiaorou, Fangzhou, the situation has changed, let's retreat!" Lu Zhaoming whispered, activating the system's stealth function at the same time, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Although Zhao Xiaorou was naive, she knew the situation was urgent, so she pulled Fang Zhou back.
Fangzhou, on the other hand, remained calm, observing his surroundings as he retreated.
Back at his temporary hideout, Lu Zhaoming's mood remained heavy.
The secrets of this safe house were deeper than he had imagined.
"Fangzhou, tell me everything you know about this safe house." Lu Zhaoming got straight to the point; now was not the time to hold back.
Fang Zhou adjusted his glasses and slowly said, "This safe house was a secret government experimental site before the nuclear war, mainly researching a device called a 'psychic amplifier.' It is said that this device can greatly enhance human psychic potential, but many accidents occurred during the experiments, and many people lost their lives as a result, so it was sealed away."
“Psionic amplifier?” Lu Zhaoming narrowed his eyes, the word reminding him of something.
“That’s right. According to the information I have, this kind of ‘psychic energy amplifier’ produces a special energy fluctuation during the experiment. It is very unstable and will cause an explosion if it gets out of control,” Fang Zhou added.
Lu Zhaoming took a deep breath. It seemed that the red light was the residual energy fluctuation of the "spiritual energy amplifier".
This thing is like a time bomb; it could explode at any moment and send the entire safe house flying into the sky!
"We must figure out the source of this red light as soon as possible, or the entire safe house will be doomed." Lu Zhaoming muttered to himself. This was a matter of life and death, and he didn't want to die right after he transmigrated here.
To verify his suspicions, Lu Zhaoming decided to risk sneaking into the perimeter of the safe house again to observe the red light device up close.
He activated the system's real-time scanning function and carefully avoided the traps along the way.
"This place is full of traps!" Lu Zhaoming complained as he moved forward. The designer of this safe house must be a freak.
Thanks to the system's powerful functions, Lu Zhaoming arrived near the red light device without any major incidents.
It was a uniquely shaped instrument with intricate patterns on its surface, and the red light emanated from its center.
"This thing looks very dangerous," Lu Zhaoming muttered, preparing to collect some data.
However, just as he was about to make his move, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the side and pounced on Lu Zhaoming.
"Holy crap, a sneak attack from behind?" Lu Zhaoming was startled and immediately retreated.
The dark figure moved with incredible speed, arriving in front of Lu Zhaoming in the blink of an eye.
Lu Zhaoming looked closely and realized it was Liu Yan!
"It's you?" Lu Zhaoming frowned. How could this woman be here?
Liu Yan's face was icy cold. "Lu Zhaoming, today is your death day!"
"Big sister, let's talk this out. It's not right to resort to violence." Lu Zhaoming tried to reason with her while dodging her, but Liu Yan wouldn't listen.
Liu Yan's special ability is to manipulate plants. With a wave of her hands, countless vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped around Lu Zhaoming.
"Holy crap, Plants vs. Zombies!" Lu Zhaoming exclaimed, immediately activating a new module in the system to briefly suppress Liu Yan's supernatural abilities.
"How is this possible?" Liu Yan's eyes widened, unable to believe that her superpower had been suppressed.
Lu Zhaoming seized the opportunity and kicked Liu Yan in the stomach, knocking her back.
"I'm not playing with you anymore!" Liu Yan clutched her stomach, glared fiercely at Lu Zhaoming, and turned to disappear into the darkness.
"Tch, next time we meet, I'll show you why the flowers are so red!" Lu Zhaoming scoffed, then continued collecting data.
After the data extracted from the red light device is uploaded to the system, the system prompts: "A new energy source has been detected. Do you want to upgrade?"
"I have to upgrade!" Lu Zhaoming chose to upgrade without hesitation.
With a flash of white light, the system successfully upgraded and unlocked the "Psionic Analysis Module".
"Psionic Analysis Module: Can analyze and manipulate psionic fluctuations within a specific range," the system notification indicated.
"Great stuff!" Lu Zhaoming clenched his fist excitedly. With this module, he could control the psionic fluctuations inside the safe house and thus resolve the crisis.
However, before he could even rejoice for long, the system issued another warning: "The psionic amplifier has entered its countdown phase. We recommend transferring it as soon as possible!"
"What?! Are you serious?" Lu Zhaoming's expression changed; it seemed time was running out.
He must find a way to resolve the crisis as soon as possible, otherwise the entire safe house will become a source of disaster in the ruins.
Just as Lu Zhaoming was formulating his next plan, a base soldier approached him and handed him a letter, saying, "Mr. Lu, this is from Secretary Qin Wan'er. She said you'll understand after reading it." Lu Zhaoming took the letter, unfolded it, and a strong smell of green tea wafted out.
The letter, written in delicate handwriting, read: "Mr. Lu, congratulations on discovering the secret of the safe house, but unfortunately, you've made a mistake. I have already obtained the core password, and now I invite you to 'negotiate' in Warehouse Zone 3. I hope you won't disappoint me." It was signed Qin Wan'er and included a flamboyant heart.
"Tsk tsk, this woman, she really knows how to play games." Lu Zhaoming sneered and crumpled the letter into a ball.
"Negotiation? Isn't this a trap? If you want to play, I'll play along to the end!" He casually threw the crumpled paper into the trash can. The upgraded system interface flickered with a faint blue light, as if echoing his thoughts.
Lu Zhaoming stroked his chin, a playful smile playing on his lips.
"Core password? Heh, I cracked it a long time ago. I've been waiting for you to walk right into my trap!" He stood up, stretched his limbs, and made a "crackling" sound.
"Someone, prepare the car! Destination: Warehouse Zone 3!" His tone was tinged with excitement, like a hunter smelling the scent of his prey.
"The show is about to begin..."
