Life Dungeon Game

At this moment, He Ao saw a new 'grind mark' on the edge of the box. This grind mark was only slightly visible and extremely subtle, so subtle that it was not noticeable without careful examination.

He Ao reached directly to the handle of the box and gently pulled it open. The water meter box, which should have been locked, was suddenly opened, revealing a dense array of smart water meters inside.

Below the smart water meter, two small silver boxes were squeezed into the narrow space below.

······

Does this guy have to go to such great lengths to hide something?

That's being overly cautious.

However, his actions could indeed mislead investigators—if the assassination had succeeded.

He Ao didn't touch the box directly, but instead activated his super memory to carefully observe the inside of the water tank.

Then he found a piece of high-performance explosive attached to the bottom surface of the water meter, just below the bottom layer of the water meter.

This is the latest high-performance explosive developed by Evis Space Systems. Although the explosive is not large, appearing to be just a small cube about five centimeters wide, it is extremely powerful.

The main load-bearing wall of this building is right next to the water tank.

If it really explodes, He Ao might be able to activate his super memory and jump off the building with his daughter to escape, but I'm afraid everyone on this floor and even the floors above and below will go to meet God.

······

He Ao came out to see if the shadowy figure had left any backup plans, but the guy's caution was still beyond his expectations.

Moreover, it has a strong sense of wanting to drag others down with them even in death.

The detonation device on the explosive was purely mechanical, suggesting that the shadowy figure did not trust electronic devices.

The explosive is triggered by the box below; the explosive will detonate immediately upon touching the box.

In addition, there was a countdown timer on the explosives, indicating that the detonation time was 6:00 AM. It seemed that this was the final moment that the shadowy figure had prepared for himself to complete his mission.

Fortunately, He Ao came out for a check-up.

He observed it carefully for a while, then reached out and touched the detonator of the explosive.

The detonator has a gear combination lock, which seems to be able to be detonated with a password, but this kind of setting usually detonates immediately if the password is wrong the first time.

This password might only be known to the dead shadow, but that doesn't stump Heo.

His consciousness instantly entered the detonator.

Vian's skill in this mechanical device far surpasses that of the Shadow.

He quickly figured out the mechanical mechanism inside.

Then, with a little force, he carefully pried open the detonator, destroying the fuse inside.

Then he removed the explosives and put them in his pocket.

This type of explosive is very stable without a detonation device and is one of the most advanced explosives available today. It can only be purchased through special channels and is quite expensive.

The shadowy figure must have gone to great lengths to get his hands on this.

This can be considered a small gain.

After dealing with the explosives, He Ao picked up the two boxes below.

The box was not locked.

He Ao walked to the ventilation window, activated his Super Memory, and carefully opened the box.

According to the shadowy figure, be cautious

Given its nature, it's possible that it might put some contaminants, or even highly toxic substances, in the box.

As the box was opened, a test tube containing a translucent liquid with a milky white sheen came into He Ao's view.

This test tube is very similar to the one He Ao obtained from the shadowy figure, but it is clearly more concentrated and less stable.

Within a short time of He Ao opening the test tube, a noticeable energy overflow could already be felt.

He closed the box and opened another box, which also contained the same test tube.

It appears that the box did not originally belong to the shadowy figure.

Is it compensation from the research institute?

He closed the suitcase, picked it up, carefully checked the surroundings again, and took the elevator to check the nearby floors. After confirming that the shadowy figure had not left any other tricks, he returned home.

"Dad, I asked my teacher for leave, but she hasn't replied yet."

Annie had already packed a small suitcase. She blinked at He Ao and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Leave this city."

He glanced at the lights outside the window and picked up the duffel bag containing the shadowy corpse.

-

"According to the weather station, Hurricane Noah is expected to reach the vicinity of Limen City at 9:00 AM... Please take precautions and stay home unless absolutely necessary."

The morning news is playing on TV.

Meanwhile, in the office outside the television, Reed was looking at the bracelet on his wrist, his face somber and his gaze icy.

"The shadow is dead."

"Ok?"

The officer, who had just woken up and was going to work, was a little confused.

"The shadowy figure would send me a message the morning after each mission."

Reed glanced at the officer and said calmly.

"You didn't receive any messages today?"

The officer hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Perhaps he didn't do his mission last night and is doing it today?"

"He is always punctual."

Reed squinted, his fingers tapping softly on the table.

The officer knew that Reed was thinking.

He stood quietly to the side, patiently awaiting Reed's command.

He knows when to speak and when not to speak.

Just then, Reed's bracelet vibrated. He looked up at it and then immediately looked up at the officer.

“Go to the warehouse and get five doses of enhancement drugs,” Reed said, his face showing some excitement. “Then take the commando team to the airport and thoroughly check everyone going there.”

"This is?"

The officer asked in a low voice.

"That guy definitely wouldn't stay home anymore in this situation,"

Reed said slowly,

"He also has a daughter who doesn't show anything special. I don't know why he would live in seclusion in this city, but he should know that he can't fight against our power, so he reached a 'reconciliation' with me."

“Now that we’ve completely fallen out, for the sake of his daughter’s safety, he certainly won’t confront us directly. His priority will definitely be leaving the city.”

"But how did you know he was going to the airport?"

The officer asked in a low voice.

“He just bought a ticket for the airship,” Reid smiled, looking at the officer. “When the shadowy figure left, I had the airport on alert. There were no [illegible characters] in Limen City.”

Humans can fight us.

The officer quickly smiled and saluted, "Chief, your insight is brilliant. I'll take care of it right away."

-

The gale whipped up torrential rain, which fell to the ground like silver beads.

Outside the Limen City Airport, a mini drone landed on the roof, quietly watching the flow of people coming and going at the airport gate.

Several men dressed as mercenaries were patrolling the edge of the airport, carefully observing all the passengers entering the airport.

The population of Limen City is not large, and the flow of people to and from other cities is not significant, so the airport is not large, and there are very few airships sailing back and forth.

Federal airports are mostly built by conglomerates.

Some cities are large, with a large pie, so more people can share it; while some cities are small, with a small pie, so fewer people can share it.

For example, the airport in Dawn City was built by the Nord Consortium in conjunction with dozens of other large consortia, ensuring that both locals and outsiders could benefit from the project.

The airport in Kaya was also built under the leadership of the Nolanca Group.

The city of Limen is relatively small, and the airport's return on investment is low. Therefore, only one consortium operates the airport, and most of the airships also belong to the same consortium.

Qunxing Pharmaceuticals.

Each conglomerate claims to maintain strict confidentiality regarding passenger information, but Heo, who possesses security memories, knows very well that this confidentiality is relative.

For some people, such confidentiality measures may be relatively weaker.

For example, individuals with high authority within the conglomerate.

······

"Dad, where are we going?"

Annie poked her head out, clutching her small suitcase, and looked at He Ao with a puzzled expression.

The two were now surrounded by darkness, seemingly inside the cargo bed of a moving vehicle.

Annie's body swayed slowly with the car's movement; she was a little scared.

"wilderness."

He Ao turned his gaze away from the image transmitted by the drone on his wristband.

He looked at his daughter and gently patted her head. "The days ahead might be a little tough. Are you prepared?"

"Dad, I'm sixteen years old now. I'm not a little kid who can be patted on the head anymore."

Annie tried to dodge He's hand, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Finally, she pouted and said, "I can endure hardship. I'm the best at completing homework in the whole class. I do it not only in class, but also at home. I work part-time until midnight every day, and I can still do two more hours of homework when I get home."
