Chapter 350 In the city!
Nine kilometers.
Qin Xiao stared at the screen, his voice low, "Brother Yan, if we continue in this direction, we'll reach the old town."
Zhang Yan had already pulled up his coat.
Nie Qingcheng stood on the other side of the laboratory, not stopping him, but only asking, "What are you bringing?"
"A thousand-arm machine, the heart of divine craftsmanship."
"Where's the mech?"
"No, I won't bring it."
Qin Xiao turned his head abruptly: "Not taking him? Brother Yan, that person has a consciousness anchor."
"The population density in the old town is too high." Zhang Yan put the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship into the slot in his palm. "If the White Tiger lands, half of the entire street will collapse. The Black Scorpion won't work either, the alley is too narrow."
More importantly, the anchor point must not be stimulated.
The other party is now like holding a wire that can directly connect to the ruins.
If the mech's high-energy reaction gets too close, it might trigger its premature activation.
Zhang Yan wanted to capture them alive.
It's not about demolishing the city.
Nie Qingcheng walked over and tucked a small communicator inside his collar.
"The signal is complicated in the old town, so I'll use my own repeater."
Zhang Yan looked down at her.
Nie Qingcheng paused her finger on his collar for a moment, her voice flat: "Sixty minutes."
"It's unusable."
I'm talking about my patience.
Qin Xiao wisely looked down at the screen.
Zhang Yan nodded: "Mm."
Nie Qingcheng then let go.
"go."
Zhang Yan turned and left.
Seventeen minutes later, the black car stopped outside the old town.
The roads here are narrow, the buildings are packed tightly together, and many residents still have their lights on at night. The red dot is no longer moving in a straight line, but has stopped in a residential area.
Qin Xiao's voice came through the earphones.
"I've blocked off the three outer lanes, ostensibly for a routine gas pipeline inspection. Our personnel will only be on the outer perimeter; they won't be entering the alleys."
"Don't let ordinary people get close."
"clear."
Zhang Yan got out of the car and walked into the alley.
The system map unfolds at the edge of the field of view.
Red dot positioning accuracy: 10 meters.
This is troublesome.
Ten meters is nothing in an open area, but in the old town it might mean three households, two buildings, three stories high.
Zhang Yan was not in a hurry.
He walked lightly down the alley. His Thousand-Arm Technique was tucked into his back, and there was nothing outwardly abnormal about it.
The sounds of a television, voices, and vibrating water pipes could be heard coming from the windows on both sides.
These all interfere with judgment.
Zhang Yan mentally divided the area into four parts.
First, empty the area outside the building.
Then arrange the upper and lower layers.
Finally, lock the room.
He didn't want to disturb the residents.
Even more importantly, the target must not know that he has arrived at the door.
The red dot suddenly flashed.
Energy fluctuations change from stable to irregular.
Zhang Yan stopped.
Qin Xiao immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"He noticed."
"Should I rush in?"
"Need not."
Zhang Yan looked up and gazed at an old building to his right.
Three floors.
There are drainage pipes on the exterior wall, the second-floor balcony is piled with miscellaneous items, and a window on the third floor is half open.
The red dot is over there.
Zhang Yan did not take the stairs.
There must be noise coming from the stairwell.
He pushed off with his feet, his body slid along the wall, and two thin claws extended from his Thousand Machine Arm to grab the windowsill. He silently flipped up to the second-floor awning.
The next second, he used the momentum to climb to the third floor.
There was no light in the half-open window.
Zhang Yan leaned close to the window and listened for a second.
There was breathing in the room.
Very stable.
There was also a very low electrical hum.
It is not a civilian device.
The target is inside.
The system notification popped up a beat late.
Pre-activation fluctuations of the consciousness anchor point were detected.
Estimated full activation time: Unpredictable.
Zhang Yan didn't wait any longer.
He pushed open the window with one hand and climbed into the room.
Almost at the same instant, the lights in the room came on.
A man in his forties stood at the other end of the room.
Suit.
The neckline is a bit messy.
He held a black crystal in his right hand.
My thumb is already pressed on the surface of the crystal.
It was just a little bit of force missing.
The two looked at each other.
The man's face was pale, but his eyes were hard.
He spoke in broken Chinese: "Step back, or I'll make its eyes look directly at you."
Zhang Yan did not move.
The room was very small.
A bed.
A table.
A door.
There may be other ordinary residents behind the door.
Zhang Yan couldn't let him shout, nor could he let him crush the anchor point.
Seeing that he didn't back down, the man pressed his thumb down a little.
Inside the black crystal, a dark red light began to illuminate.
"You don't understand?"
Zhang Yan looked at the crystal.
He knew very well that once the anchor point was fully activated, the Ruins would look in his direction.
position.
equipment.
The state of being in the heart of nature.
Even his current preparations for sealing might be partially exposed.
Strategic surprise will be lost.
The existence of the Sky Anchor may also be detected.
Therefore, this anchor point must not make a sound.
Not even a millisecond.
The man continued to exert force with his hand.
Zhang Yan did not pounce.
It takes distance to pounce.
Distance is time.
He raised his left hand.
Blue and white light unfolded in the palm.
It's not a large-scale purification pulse.
It was an extremely thin, directional pulse, like a needle piercing the black crystal in the man's hand.
The man finally pressed down with his thumb.
"Then let's do it together—"
The conversation ended there.
The dark red light that had just illuminated the black crystal was cut off from the inside by the blue-white light.
The activation command has been issued.
But the passageway is gone.
Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the crystal.
The man paused for a second.
It's this very second.
Zhang Yan was already in front of him.
The Thousand Arms popped out from behind him, one locking his right wrist, one pressing down on his left shoulder, and the third hooking around his throat, but without exerting any force.
The man was pinned against the wall.
The black crystal shattered into powder in his palm.
Zhang Yan removed the hidden blade from his wrist and then pulled out a small syringe from his waist, crushing it directly.
The man tried to struggle, but the Thousand-Arm lifted his arms up.
The joints made a soft cracking sound.
He stopped moving.
Zhang Yan asked, "Where are the other two?"
The man was panting and didn't answer.
Zhang Yan placed the Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship half an inch close to his brow.
The man's expression immediately changed.
He is not afraid of death.
But he's afraid of this.
Purification is not simply death.
That means his connection with the Ruins will be severed.
Zhang Yan understood his fear.
"I'll ask again."
The man gritted his teeth: "You're too late."
Zhang Yan did not respond.
He looked at the system panel.
The person in front of me is not completely corrupted, but there are remnants of anchor points on a spiritual level.
It can be suppressed.
Not suitable for purification.
If the purification is too intense, it might directly damage his brain.
Zhang Yan reduced the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart to its lowest level, placing it only behind his ear.
The man's body stiffened abruptly.
Three seconds later, he squeezed out two spots through his teeth.
Zhang Yan noted it down and sent it directly to Qin Xiao.
"Recycling. Simultaneously at both locations."
Qin Xiao replied quickly: "Received. The perimeter security has been mobilized. Brother Yan, should we take the person with us?"
"Come up."
"I'll have someone meet me."
"Don't disturb the residents."
"clear."
Zhang Yan dragged the man away from the window, pressed him into a chair, and used the Thousand Machine Arm to lock his hands and feet.
The man, with his head down, suddenly chuckled.
It's very light.
It's not a provocation.
It's more like losing control after being stretched to the limit.
Zhang Yan looked at him.
The man looked up, his face no longer showing the toughness he had displayed before, but instead filled with a deep fear.
"You can't seal it away."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
The man continued, "Thirty thousand years ago, there were the Four Spirits and the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, and what was the result? The entire civilization vanished."
Zhang Yan looked at him.
"You've seen its eyes."
The man's voice lowered, "Anyone who has seen it knows. Not because it's strong, but because it..."
He paused, his Adam's apple bobbing.
"It was always here."
Zhang Yan's eyes darkened slightly.
The man stared intently at him, as if he had finally uttered the most terrifying thing.
"It's always been here."
"The seal is just to put it to sleep."
