Activating the Omniscient System, I'm doomed!

While everyone was eating, Luo Yi quietly left and went into several noodle shops, where he bought freshly rolled dough with cash.

After doing all this, he rushed to the Armed Police Headquarters and asked to borrow a pistol.

"Is one enough? There are six of you, how about each of you gets one?" The armed police detachment leader looked slightly worried.

Luo Yi shook his head: "No need. I'm borrowing this pistol to intimidate the criminals. We can't easily fire our guns during the mission; it's easy to accidentally injure someone in the woods."

He had never used firearms before, so the detachment leader demonstrated them again on the spot.

Unload the magazine, pull the safety, aim and fire... With his current brainpower, he mastered the structure of the firearm after seeing only half of it.

Back in the hotel's private room, the group had already eaten and drunk their fill and were chatting and drinking.

"Captain Luo, where did you go to the restroom? Why did you take so long?" Du Ziteng asked as he brought over several boxes of food.

At this moment, many people in the private room turned to look, and Chen Baohua paid close attention to the situation, trying to find an opportunity to make a move.

Luo Yi took out the gun directly and said, "I borrowed a pistol. I'm a crack shot, so I feel more at ease carrying this for self-defense."

After saying that, he whispered to Du Ziteng, "The gun is to deter death row inmates and prevent them from escaping at crucial moments."

Du Ziteng swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and nodded in agreement, "I told you to bring a gun a long time ago, but you insisted that it would be easy to accidentally hurt someone in the tomb."

They all understood the pretense of a national expedition team robbing tombs without Luo Yi having to explain it; it served two purposes: to maintain secrecy and to avoid frightening the other party.

Chen Baohua glanced at the pistol out of the corner of his eye, and his searching gaze immediately subsided.

"Whoever is driving, hurry up and take a nap. We'll leave in an hour."

Luo Yi gave instructions while eating.

If a teammate's mental strength is too low, they won't be able to exert any draining effect and may easily suffer brain death instantly.

……

The vehicle wound its way along the mountain road and soon arrived at a pavilion.

Du Ziteng glanced at the map and said, "According to Guan Fei, he went up from the path next to the pavilion."

Luo Yi slowly opened his eyes, having replenished his energy along the way. He opened the door and got out of the driveway: "Let's follow Captain Guan's route up the mountain."

Before he came, he had asked the Omniscient System and learned that the leopard fire ant had encountered Guan Fei while carrying the centipede and had long since fled into the thorn bushes in the ravine.

After all, leopard fire ants are there to digest centipedes, so they would definitely find a secluded place where no one would find them.

"Judging from Guan Fei's account, he went up the mountain from here, to a point halfway up the mountain."

Du Ziteng took out a map and gestured with it, then picked up his backpack and was the first to go up the mountain.

Luo Yi took out a bottle of mineral water and tossed it over, "Have a drink of water first, replenish your energy."

After saying that, he handed the four bottles of mineral water in the red plastic bag to the other team members.

"Boss, why don't we have any? It's so hot, how can we climb mountains without water?" Fu Wenjun, who had just come of age, looked fearless.

Luo Yi pulled out a pistol: "Why are you drinking so much water? To make it easier to find an excuse to escape?"

Fu Wenjun scoffed and followed along nonchalantly, thinking: Once we get to the mountain, the sky's the limit. A few expedition teams with just a pistol, do they think they can keep me in check?

Chen Baohua remained silent throughout, but when he walked up to Luo Yi, he glanced meaningfully at the bottled water in the bag.

Luo Yi, looking slightly guilty, picked up the red plastic bag, held the gun in one hand, and said to the other team members:

"To prevent prisoners from escaping, I'll stand at the back so I can fire at any time."

The other team members thought it made sense and didn't think much of it, so they all took their backpacks and went up the mountain.

Under the blazing sun, the jungle was eerily quiet.

Du Ziteng led the way with a diagram in hand, followed by a death row inmate. If anything went wrong, he could step down at any time and push the death row inmate up.

But along the way, nothing seemed amiss; it was just like any other ordinary mountain forest.

"Captain Luo, we haven't found... an entrance." Du Ziteng wanted to say that no special creatures had been found, but considering that the death row inmates could hear, he quickly changed it to "entrance."

Luo Yi said, "Is this the place Guan Fei is talking about? Spread out the people and search the surrounding area."

"The map was drawn based on his dictation, so the error shouldn't be too great."

As Du Ziteng spoke, he pulled the death row inmate aside to examine the scene.

The others also scattered, each searching for traces.

But the result was as expected.

So far, not a single living creature has been seen, let alone a special creature that could cause serious injury.

Roy kept a close eye on the death row inmates, so he didn't search them and knew that the leopard fire ants weren't there.

"Alright, let's expand the search area. You guys put your bags down, travel light, and head towards the ravine. Once you find any trace, come back."

Luo Yi continued, "I'll stay here to guard the prisoners. Once we confirm the trail, I'll take them with me."

Du Ziteng immediately took off his backpack and pulled the death row inmate next to him over, saying, "This should have been done a long time ago. The mountain is so big, and if a group of people search in one place, they won't find it even after dark."

The other teammates nodded in agreement. They had to search for clues while also being wary of the death row inmates' movements, making their actions very inconvenient.

"You five, come closer and catch up slowly."

Luo Yi raised his pistol and aimed it, signaling them to follow him forward.

Because he needs to ensure the safety of his teammates, excessive mental damage could directly lead to brain death.

Only by maintaining a controllable distance can he release his mental energy in time to help his teammates block excessive damage.

Although the five death row inmates found it strange, they still followed slowly, waiting for a chance to escape down the mountain.

A short while later, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the silent forest.

Luo Yi's expression turned serious, and he immediately mobilized his mental energy, which flowed like a stream in front of him to shield the prisoners from the remaining sound damage.

Buzz!

Buzz~ Buzz~!

Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~!

One sharp sound after another spread outwards like waves.

Following the instructions of the Omniscient System, Luo Yi silently counted to the 21st, then mobilized 50 units of mental energy to rush into the distance and block excessive damage for his teammates.

Buzz~ Buzz~!

After calling out twice more, the leopard fire ant suddenly fell silent.

This is because Du Ziteng and the others had used up some of their energy, and the remaining energy had to be reserved to power their bodies, so they dared not use it casually.

Although the special creature attacks the mind through sound, the energy will still be depleted if the sound is used for a long time, and it cannot be recovered in a short period of time.

Luo Yi used this vulnerability to set up the arrest plan.

Thanks to the efforts of Du Ziteng and the others, his mental strength is now significantly higher than that of the three leopard-patterned fire ants.

Fu Wenjun craned her neck and said, "Just now, did you hear any sound that made your head feel a little uncomfortable?"

"Really? I didn't notice."

"Isn't it normal to hear all sorts of insects and birds chirping in the woods?"

"I thought it was a mosquito buzzing in my ear."

The prisoners whispered among themselves, because Luo Yi had shielded them from harm, so they hadn't noticed anything unusual.

"Stop talking nonsense, quicken your pace, and go see what's going on."

Luo Yi raised his gun and urged him on.

He also consulted the Omniscient System and confirmed that all five teammates were unconscious, with two of them at level 0.8 still having a little bit of mental energy left, and were in a conscious and audible state.

As for the three leopard fire ants, they were indeed exhausted, but they sensed the large number of people and showed no intention of coming out.

Each with their own thoughts, the group followed the trampling marks in the grass and soon saw one figure after another lying on the ground.

The five teammates from the National Security Agency lay motionless on the ground, about five meters apart from each other.

Luo Yi searched with his eyes and found the two teammates with a level of 0.8. He used 1 point of mental energy to help the two of them return to zero mental energy and fall into a complete coma.

He then clicked twice, pulled back the safety on his pistol, and said, "Ignore these people, keep going forward. The entrance to the tomb is definitely ahead."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're planning!"

Chen Baohua, who had always been taciturn, sneered.

"Weren't these your teammates the ones you knocked out? Did you put sleeping pills in the bottled water when we were going up the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, the other four death row inmates all changed their expressions and turned to look at him.
