Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!

Nine o'clock in the morning.

On the snow-covered mountain trails of Kunlun Mountain, 23 figures strode forward.

They were all dressed in military green uniforms, completely covered from head to toe, with explosive packs on their backs, satellite communicators at their waists, and drone control panels in their hands.

This is precisely the special physical condition of all members of the National Special Bureau at level 1 and above, who started hiking early in the morning.

Of course, we can't take a plane; it could easily crash and kill everyone, resulting in the entire group being wiped out.

"We've reached halfway up the 5700-meter altitude. Everyone, rest here and replenish your energy and spirits," said Zhang Tianfeng, who was leading the way, as he stopped.

This altitude might be a bit strenuous for ordinary people.

Those with a physique of level 1 or higher, which enhances strength, speed, and reaction time, naturally experience little pressure.

Captain Wu laughed and said, "It's just that the altitude is a bit high and it's inconvenient to breathe oxygen. Otherwise, we could have reached the summit in one go without using much physical or mental strength."

"Of course you're fine with a level 2 physique. Most people here aren't level 1 physiques. Take a ten-minute rest first. If anyone feels unwell, let us know as soon as possible," Yuan Chenggang said earnestly.

Luo Yi feigned curiosity and asked, "The Kunlun Mountains stretch for thousands of kilometers. Are you sure the giant serpent is still in this mountain?"

"Last night, in the latter half of the night, Lao Yuan went up the mountain to investigate, and the big snake was still in the same place."

After Zhang Tianfeng finished speaking, he pulled out an oiled paper map from his backpack and continued:

"Based on the investigations over the years, it can be basically determined that the giant snake's hideout is located in this area, between two peaks of the mountain range, which is the mountain we are standing on and to our right."

"When we go up the mountain, we need to conserve our energy while maintaining our speed. Ideally, we should arrive before noon. If we are delayed until dark, the environment will be very unfavorable for us."

Luo Yi nodded in agreement. He didn't need to explain the details of the plan; the two veteran comrades could perfect it themselves.

Captain Lin, who was in front of him, asked curiously, "Master Zhang, how long and big is that snake now?"

Zhang Tianfeng shook his head with a wry smile, "We've never seen the actual object either, because once you get within a certain range, your mental strength will noticeably decrease. Old Yuan and I don't dare to get close easily."

"However, the surveillance cameras captured the snake coming down the mountain. It was estimated to be over 60 meters long and the size of a bucket, but that information came from several years ago."

Hiss... Everyone present gasped. Even an ordinary snake would be difficult to deal with.

Luo Yi was also slightly surprised. Through the Omniscient System, he already knew the latest information about the giant serpent: it was 223.6 meters long and 1.18 meters in diameter.

In other words, the snake's size increased several times in just a few years.

If it were to reach level 5 physical fitness, its length might reach nearly a kilometer.

Captain Wu looked at the drone's monitor and said, "I wonder if the person who sent the invitation came or not? I haven't seen anyone else around."

The others also turned to look at the monitor. Captain Lin said, "Maybe not. Who knows what level 4 physique means? What if he can hide in a snowdrift?"

Luo Yi chimed in, "Maybe he was hiding nearby beforehand. In any case, we can't rely too much on outsiders for this."

"Alright, let's continue up the mountain."

Zhang Tianfeng put away the map and led the way.

After walking for a while, his mental strength began to decline intermittently.

"We've reached the giant snake's warning range," Yuan Chenggang said hurriedly. "Let the drone descend now; I'm worried the signal will be affected, and we won't be able to control the machine later."

During the ascent, more than 300 drones, carrying small explosives, had already taken off and flown to an altitude of over 10,000 meters.

Since Zhang Tianfeng and Yuan Chenggang don't understand high technology, the control of these drones is in the hands of the remaining 21 people.

"That's true." Zhang Tianfeng stopped and continued, "If these drones get stuck at 10,000 meters altitude, it will be a laughing stock."

Yuan Chenggang turned to Luo Yi and asked, "Little Luo, tell everyone how to descend?"

"It's still too early to tell how far away the giant snake can affect drones."

Luo Yi knew he wanted to send him down the mountain, so of course he wouldn't say that now. He then added, "However, we can arrange for three drones to descend quickly first, to measure the distance, while the other drones descend at a constant speed, keeping them in an adjustable state at all times."

Yuan Chenggang and Zhang Tianfeng exchanged a glance, both suspecting that he was deliberately keeping quiet.

Young people are like newborn calves, unafraid of tigers. Coupled with their strong curiosity and desire for credit, they naturally focus all their energy on climbing the ladder.

Yuan Chenggang sighed inwardly. Seeing that he was walking at the back and that Captain Lin, who had a level 2 physique, was protecting him closely, he let him be.

After setting the descent route for the drone, the group continued their ascent up the mountain.

As they drew closer to the summit, the oxygen grew increasingly thin, and the occasional decline in their mental strength made the group's expressions extremely solemn.

Pa~!

Zhang Tianfeng, who was ahead, stopped and turned around to say something when he suddenly heard a crisp sound from high above, as if something had broken.

Everyone's expression changed, and they all looked up.

A drone was seen emitting black smoke above the mountaintop ahead, drifting diagonally like a kite. After drifting for three seconds, it suddenly made a loud noise.

Bang~!

The small explosives carried by the drone were detonated, shattering into pieces and bursting into flames.

Because of the possibility of drones losing signal, the National Security Agency modified a mission mode so that once activated, no manual detonation is needed; if the drone malfunctions and goes out of control, it will explode within three seconds.

"That's his attack range, 1300 meters!"

Luo Yi immediately gave the accurate value.

As soon as he finished speaking, another loud bang came from the sky above.

Bang~!

The second drone also exploded after descending to a certain distance.

"It really is that distance." Zhang Tianfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that he could calculate it with just a glance.

"Oh no, the drone controller is starting to lag," someone suddenly shouted.

Yuan Chenggang hurriedly activated his mental power to resist the energy, then turned to look at Luo Yi. Before he could ask, Luo Yi had already spoken:

"Let the drone descend at full speed, in a spiral motion, like a spring."

Zhang Tianfeng, who was at the front, shouted, "Old Yuan, let's go up first and take advantage of the gap when the giant snake is dealing with the drones to deliver a fatal blow."

Yuan Chenggang turned to Captain Wu and said, "You'll handle the energy interference."

After saying that, he burst into the mountain at his maximum speed.

Luo Yi quickly set up the descent program and said anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up..."

At this moment, everyone had no other thoughts. They all set up their descent programs and rushed upwards at maximum speed.

Captain Lin stopped Luo Yi and said, "Master Yuan said that once the descent method of the drone is determined, he will send you down the mountain."

"Why are you going down the mountain now? Hurry up and provide support!" Luo Yi said righteously as he ran forward. "Are you trying to find an excuse to run away?"

"I'm not afraid of death!" Captain Lin was instantly provoked and immediately burst into full speed as he rushed up the mountain.

Bang~!

Thud! Thud!

As the drone descended rapidly from high altitude, it reached a certain range and, as if touching an invisible electric grid, went out of control and exploded within 3 seconds.

At first, the explosions were at a height of 1,000 meters, and gradually they started at 800 meters, 600 meters, and 500 meters.

"The drone method really works; we're almost at the snake's lair," said Captain Wu, who was at the front, as he ran.

Other members with special physical abilities have discarded the drone controllers and taken out firearms with specially made bullets.

Bang~!

Bang~!

The explosion in the sky was getting lower and lower, approaching 300 meters.
