The whole nation: You're put to survive on a desolate planet, you'll be running an alien b

Eight hundred meters away, on the top of an unfinished building.

Hawkeye lay prone on the cold concrete, his body becoming one with a meticulously modified sniper rifle.

Through the high-powered lens, the floor-to-ceiling windows of that luxurious villa were so clear they seemed to be right in front of me.

"The target was pacing back and forth in the room, and his mental state was extremely unstable."

His voice was calmly transmitted to his two teammates through the tactical headset.

"Like a mouse locked in a cage."

In the mirror, Li Haotian was holding his phone, shouting into the microphone. The content was blurry, but Eagle Eye could clearly see his anxious posture.

After finishing the phone call, he started rummaging through drawers and cabinets in the room.

Finally, he pulled out a bucket of instant noodles from the corner, tore open the packaging, and used the hot water from the water dispenser to make it.

Three minutes later, he hugged the instant noodle bucket, huddled in a corner by the window, and wolfed it down.

That appearance was both pathetic and laughable.

"Heh." Hawkeye let out a disdainful chuckle.

"Is this the top player from the intelligence reports who could solo 'Royal One'?"

"I think the intelligence agencies have gone mad, exaggerating a little white rabbit into a prehistoric behemoth."

The muffled voice of my teammate "Tank" came through the headset.

"Hawkeye, don't let your guard down. The client is offering a high price, which means there's something fishy about the target."

"Strange? What's so strange about a guy hiding in a multi-million dollar villa eating instant noodles?" Hawkeye adjusted the focus of his scope. "He's even afraid to open the curtains now; his mental defenses have collapsed."

Another teammate's voice, "Ghost," rang out, carrying a chilling tone.

"Stop talking nonsense. Tank and I are in position. The villa's security system is as flimsy as paper. I've already hacked into their surveillance system and will show him what he 'wants to see'."

"Roger that." Hawkeye licked his chapped lips. "Let's start harvesting. The sooner we finish, the sooner I can't wait to experience the nightlife in the East."

Inside the villa.

After finishing the last bite of noodles, Li Haotian drank every last drop of the soup.

His movements looked hurried, as if he had been starving for a long time.

In fact, his entire mind was immersed in the strange perceptions brought about by [Sensory Sharing • Reality].

The entire villa and the surrounding area within a hundred meters formed a real-time updated three-dimensional map in his mind.

Eight hundred meters away, on the top of that unfinished building, there was a deep red dot of light that represented "extreme threat," and it remained motionless.

Outside the villa's courtyard wall, two faint red dots were moving silently, bypassing all the regular surveillance cameras, like two venomous snakes approaching the backyard.

"Those who play tactics have dirty hearts."

Li Haotian put down the instant noodle cup, picked up his phone, and opened the food delivery app.

He found the highest-rated crayfish restaurant and ordered a five-pound serving of their signature spicy crayfish, which cost four figures.

In the order notes, he typed a line.

"For this last supper, please make it extra spicy, the spicier the better."

After doing all this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and collapsed on the sofa.

His eyes were fixed on the phone screen, as if it held all his hopes.

At the same time, he spared a sliver of his attention and immersed himself in the game system.

[System Shop]

[Search: Real-world usable items, one-time use, traps.]

A list of products refreshed and appeared.

[High Explosive Mine (Miniature)]: Price: 10000 Survival Points.

[Electromagnetic Pulse Trap]: Price: 8000 Survival Points.

[Invisible Tripwire]: Price: 500 Survival Points. Effect: Deploys an energy tripwire that is undetectable to the naked eye and conventional instruments. When triggered, it causes the target to become stunned and paralyzed for 1 second.

"This is it."

Without hesitation, Li Haotian chose the cheapest option: the Invisible Tripwire.

Expensive items make too much noise and are likely to attract the police, making it inconvenient for you to "clean up" yourself.

[Ding! 500 Survival Points consumed, purchase successful. Item has been stored in the temporary storage slot in reality. Please retrieve it within 10 minutes.]

"Ding-dong."

The phone screen lit up, and a message popped up from the food delivery app.

Your food delivery has been delivered by XX drone and is expected to arrive at your villa gate in 5 minutes. Please check your mail.

Li Haotian sat up abruptly from the sofa, as if he had heard heavenly music.

He quickly ran to the door, nervously peeked out through the peephole, and then cautiously opened the door a crack and slipped out.

The rooftop of an unfinished building.

Eagle Eye watched Li Haotian's every move through the scope.

"The target went out to pick up the takeout," he reported to his supervisor. "His movements were comical, like a cowardly groundhog."

A ghostly laugh came through the headset.

"Good, he's left the living room. Tank and I are going to storm in through the back door. You keep a close eye on him and don't give him a chance to press the one-button alarm."

"Don't worry." Hawkeye locked his crosshairs firmly on Li Haotian. "If he dares to take out his phone, I'll blow his head off in 0.3 seconds."

The main entrance of the villa.

A drone hovered in mid-air and slowly lowered an insulated box.

Li Haotian strode forward, opened the box, and a rich, spicy aroma wafted out.

He picked up the heavy takeout box, turned around and walked back, his steps hurried.

Just as he turned around, his body was blocked by a thick Roman column at the doorway, and he was out of the sniper's sight.

His movements were as fast as lightning.

Holding the takeout box in his left hand, he reached out with his right hand and a nearly transparent thread appeared in his hand.

His fingers flew, and in less than half a second, he secured one end of the [Invisible Tripwire] to the shadow of the Roman column base, while the other end stretched into the bushes on the courtyard wall.

This tripwire was positioned right across the only path leading from the backyard into the living room.

After doing all that, he grabbed the takeout box and rushed back into the house as if his life depended on it, slamming the door shut.

"The target has returned indoors." Hawkeye's voice sounded perfectly normal.

"Action," the ghost gave the final command.

The backyard of the villa.

Two dark figures leaped over the courtyard wall like ghosts, landing silently.

"That's it? Top-tier security in the city?" Tank, a man as burly as a bear, looked at the unresponsive infrared detectors in the yard and curled his lip in disdain.

"Stop talking nonsense, Ghost has already hacked the mainframe, these are just for show now."

The two men, one in front and one behind, crouched low and pressed themselves against the shadows of the wall, quickly making their way to the back door of the villa.

They stepped into blind spots of the surveillance cameras with every step, their movements were extremely professional.

The living room was pitch black.

Li Haotian did not turn on the lights.

He sat on the sofa with a box of steaming hot crayfish in front of him.

He didn't eat, but opened a can of Coke, and the cold liquid slid down his throat.

In his mind, on that three-dimensional map.

The two red dots had circled around to the back of the villa and stopped at the back door.

After a few seconds of pause, one of the red dots passed through the door.

The door lock was opened silently.

Li Haotian picked up a crayfish, peeled off the shell, and put the bright red crayfish meat into his mouth.

The spiciness explodes on the tip of your tongue.

Two red dots, one in front of the other, entered the room.

Instead of taking the carpeted hallway, they chose a more secluded passageway leading to the side of the living room.

There, you'll pass right by the Roman column that served as the fulcrum for the trap.

Li Haotian peeled another shrimp.

He looked into his mind and saw the red dot ahead of him getting closer and closer to the invisible tripwire.

three meters.

Two meters.

one meter.

Li Haotian raised the Coke can to his mouth.

"Gulp."

The "ghost" walking in front steps forward with its right foot.

Then, his whole body suddenly stiffened, as if a pause button had been pressed.

A sudden, numbing sensation shot through his entire body from his ankle.

He tried to move, but found that his body wouldn't obey him at all.

Before the "tank" following behind could react, he only saw his teammate suddenly freeze in place.

"ghost?"

He instinctively asked a question and took a step forward.

At that very moment, from the depths of the dark living room, near the sofa, came a soft laugh.

The laughter wasn't loud, but in the deathly still night, it was so clear it sent chills down one's spine.

Li Haotian threw the last shrimp tail into the trash can, wiped his hands, and spoke with a hint of laziness and amusement.

"Guys."

"The road has narrowed."
