Half an hour later, at the lowest level of the mine.
Following the Taoist priest's directions, they arrived at a wall with cracks.
The sound of water could be faintly heard from behind the wall. The Taoist priest approached and rubbed the damp soil on the wall with his fingers: "It's over."
They had reached the bottom of the mine, about 200 meters underground, and were quite far from the location of the canyon.
Lin Feng stepped forward and looked through the crack. The crack was only wide enough for an arm to pass through, and about two meters deep. He could smell a strange watery odor.
If it could be blown open...
Lin Feng glanced at the crack in the wall and then abandoned the unrealistic idea.
This is a perfectly intact stone wall, and you can see the marks left from the excavation around it. Without enough explosives, let alone blasting it open, you'd have to blow it all up first.
His work on clearing walls by blasting involves knowledge and theory of directional blasting and other related fields.
One of my high school classmates chose this major, and we would talk about explosives-related things at several gatherings. The preliminary calculations alone are a very precise matter.
However, if used for ambushes, this location would definitely amplify the power of the explosion.
What do you think of this place?
Lin Feng's question made the Taoist priest more serious. After thinking for a moment, he leaned closer and asked, "Whatever, do you think they'll fall into such an obvious trap?"
Lin Feng nodded solemnly: "Yes."
meeting?
The Taoist priest stared into Lin Feng's eyes for a long time, seemingly understanding Lin Feng's meaning. He stretched his shoulders, which had been sore from the journey, and chuckled as he pulled out his tortoise shell.
Without further ado, let's do a divination.
A passage of text appeared on the tortoise shell, its surface gleaming.
"If the water dries up and the corpse falls into the mud pit, it's an ominous sign!"
Upon hearing the words "extremely ominous," the Taoist priest was startled. When he looked up again, his gaze was drawn to the bag that Lin Feng had taken out of his spatial ring.
As the bag was opened, a faintly glowing symbol caught his eye, instantly startling the Taoist priest into a daze.
This is more than just bad luck; it's downright horrific!
That was a nuclear bomb! That was actually a nuclear bomb! That really was a nuclear bomb!!!
The Taoist priest's mind was buzzing: Nuclear bomb, nuclear bomb!!!
But soon, fear turned into ecstasy, and the Taoist priest instantly understood why Lin Feng had chosen this place.
A nuclear bomb, detonated at close range, or in a nearly enclosed space...
However... the Taoist priest quickly came up with one idea after another. He thought of Lin Feng's extremely certain tone just now. There was only one situation that could guarantee 100% that those people would enter the mine and use themselves as bait.
So... under the same circumstances, the Taoist priest didn't think he would follow them in.
But... the image of the puppet being held in the palm of that opposing participant flashed through the Taoist's mind, especially that disdainful look in that eyes through the screen. If he didn't get revenge, he would truly be letting down all his skills.
At this moment, Lin Feng fully opened the bag, glanced at the Taoist's hesitant face, and calmly took out the detonator from the bag.
Red detonates immediately, green cancels the explosion—simple and clear.
After straightening the nuclear bomb, Lin Feng noticed a small logo on the back: Miritch. Looking closer, he saw a small red light flashing continuously below the bomb.
Normally, even low-yield nuclear bombs are equipped with locating devices by the military.
If he were to take the nuclear bomb out of this world to use, he wouldn't need to consider such details. However, within this world, in order to avoid triggering additional events, Lin Feng would either have to use a signal jammer or, at least, in an area like the deep underground region he is currently in.
The Taoist priest opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on the detonator in Lin Feng's hand, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Just as Lin Feng sat down to communicate with Hong Linggui, the Taoist priest couldn't help but lean over and say, "Um, there's something I want to tell you."
"Hmm." Lin Feng nodded, waiting for the Taoist priest to continue.
"Look, can you leave the bait to me?" The Taoist priest grinned, even squatting down to Lin Feng's side and revealing a hint of shyness.
"Hmm?" Lin Feng's eyes widened in surprise.
The Taoist priest asked with a smile, "Are you planning to go out yourself and lure those people in?"
Lin Feng responded, "Mm."
"Once they're inside, are you going to try and lure them back down?"
"Mm," Lin Feng replied again.
"After they come down, are you planning to detonate a nuclear bomb?"
"Yes." Lin Feng didn't hide anything; that was indeed what he thought.
The Taoist priest put away his smile, followed Lin Feng's example and adjusted his posture, sitting cross-legged on the side of the nuclear bomb. His eyes became focused and bright: "Comrade Sui, you said last time that Arasaka gave him a total of 3 airships, with a total of about 30 people."
"In the past few days, we've set traps and killed a total of 11 agents and more than 20 robots. Based on the Nightmare Points given by these agents, and after replenishing the team members, then... we'll have at least 400 Nightmare Points."
"Hmm." Lin Feng's expression lifted slightly as he waited for the Taoist priest to continue.
The Taoist priest paused for a moment, seemingly unable to contain his thoughts, then shook off the hesitation in his eyes and decisively said, "To be frank, can I detonate this nuclear bomb? Of course, it won't be for free; I'm willing to offer 300 Nightmare Points in exchange!"
300 is a reasonable price given by the Taoist. Excluding the kill reward after detonation and the kills by the two individuals, the Taoist can be said to have experienced the fun of detonating a nuclear bomb with a few dozen Nightmare Points.
Lin Feng could naturally think of these things, but he was still a little puzzled, and his gaze immediately fell on the Taoist priest: "Why?"
The Taoist priest hesitated for a moment, then exclaimed, "A nuclear bomb! That's a nuclear bomb! This is the first time I've ever seen one up close like this. Even the cheapest miniature nuclear bomb in the Nightmare Space is ridiculously expensive!"
"With your degree, it's not like you can't make it."
“That’s different!” The Taoist priest twisted his neck and immediately said, “If you build it yourself, that’s your strength, and the Nightmare Space will take it into account. If you buy it, they won’t consider it as hard power.”
"Anyone who enters the mission world and immediately launches a nuclear attack will die before the enemy does."
Another thing to note, Lin Feng silently noted it down.
300 Nightmare Points is quite a lot, but 300 points won't be enough for him to complete the final points task.
Nightmare Points: 169
31 points to go.
The bonus for completing all tasks is 500 points.
“Okay, but I’m still short of Nightmare Points for my mission.” Lin Feng unfolded the detonator in his palm, knowing the Taoist would agree.
"Ha~ No problem, no problem!"
The Taoist priest nodded repeatedly, holding the detonator of the nuclear bomb, and then opened the transaction interface, transferring 300 Nightmare Points to Lin Feng.
Nightmare Points +300
Nightmare Points: 469
Having earned enough points for the mission, he now possesses a total of 1000 Nightmare Points, enough to further enhance his power. Although completing the mission wasn't the initial goal, who would complain about having too few Nightmare Points?
Hopefully, next time I'll be able to enter a mission world that hasn't changed too much...
Lin Feng shook his head, calming his inner joy, and reached into his spatial ring to place the explosives he had prepared in advance from the Night Corporation's armory in front of the Taoist: "I originally planned to destroy the first half of the mine pit before detonating the nuclear bomb, to maximize its power..."
"Hehe, don't worry, I have a way~"
Seeing the Taoist priest's confidence, Lin Feng said nothing more.
