Chapter 253: locking
With that area as the center, a direct carpet search from the outside in would eventually find the target.
However, Liang Yu was not in a hurry to find the target; or rather, why should Liang Yu go to such trouble to find the target? Wouldn’t it be better to wait for him to show himself?
Searching for him would be time-consuming and troublesome; it would truly be better to just set a fire and let him experience the feeling of warmth.
Liang Yu’s excellent work ethic meant that he acted on his thoughts immediately, so he quickly sent out a drone carrying his specially made incendiary bombs.
Soon, the drone surrounded that nearby area.
As it surrounded the area, it dropped all the incendiary bombs it carried. The bombs exploded into huge flames the moment they hit the ground, and the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire area in a raging inferno.
Flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke billowed.
As time passed, the flames within the encirclement began to close in on the central area.
But Liang Yu noticed that the fire seemed to be weakening, so he arranged for some drones to drop more incendiary bombs into the area.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one escaped from the sea of fire.
Liang Yu felt a subtle sense of unease. Logically speaking, this level of fire should have been enough to force the enemy to show himself.
After watching the flames rage there for another two or three minutes, Liang Yu suddenly remembered that the target was wearing a black protective suit.
The high temperature and thick smoke from the flames probably had little effect on him, though it wasn’t entirely without effect.
At the very least, the flames had already surrounded the entire ground area, and as time passed, the encirclement began to shrink.
Just then, a section of the ground within the encirclement suddenly opened up, as if a disguised ground module had been removed.
And after the opening appeared on the ground, several rubber balls filled with unknown objects were thrown out from underground.
Liang Yu was very puzzled by what the target was doing, but thanks to this action, Liang Yu was able to pinpoint his location.
After confirming the target’s location, Liang Yu began to recall the drones he had just dispatched. He intended to turn the drones into bombers and carpet bomb the area.
He wanted to leave these rats nowhere to hide and nowhere to escape, forcing them to endure the baptism of fierce artillery fire.
However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred, caused by the rubber balls the target had thrown out.
As the rubber balls burst, they sprayed out a grayish-white substance. Liang Yu didn’t know what it was, but it looked like a thick liquid.
This thick liquid instantly surged in all directions, quickly spreading to an area of nearly twenty square meters.
The thick liquid enveloped the objects on the ground, and under the dual scorching of high temperature and flames, the water within it evaporated very quickly.
After the water evaporated, only a piece of gray hardened material remained. When the flames approached, these gray hardened materials could not serve as fuel at all.
The flames, deprived of fuel, gradually began to diminish until they finally extinguished.
After the flames were extinguished, Liang Yu sent out drones carrying explosives to bomb the target.
The drones quickly flew over the target, and Liang Yu unhesitatingly gave the order to drop bombs.
The bombs whistled down. However, those gray hardened materials surprisingly possessed astonishing buffering capabilities; the impact force generated by the bomb explosions only caused slight cracks on their surface.
??????
Liang Yu was somewhat bewildered. What exactly was that gray stuff? It hadn’t shattered even after so many bombs were dropped, only developing cracks.
He couldn’t help but exclaim, as expected of the company’s black technology, to have such strong defensive capabilities.
However, this didn’t stump Liang Yu. He narrowed his eyes and transmitted the images of the hardened material to his glasses.
Soon, through the analysis of his glasses, he found a way to deal with these hardened materials.
Acidic substances could dissolve these hardened materials, and concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid were the best choices. Of course, Liang Yu had also considered using acetic acid.
Although he didn’t lack concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated hydrochloric acid, he truly wanted to capture the target alive, and using these would obviously make it very easy to kill him.
But then he thought again and felt something was off. The target probably had some backup plan, and his repeated leniency seemed to make it too easy for the target to escape.
Having understood this point, Liang Yu no longer planned to use hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid; he would go straight for a big one.
He called up the blueprint for the Mechanical Dome that he used against the Titan Boa Young Snake. A massive number of Sixteen Types continuously flew out from the Mountain Cave.
The Sixteen Types flying out began to assemble the Mechanical Dome in the sky. However, unlike last time, this Mechanical Dome was a half-sphere directly covering the ground.
As more and more Sixteen Types flew out, the assembly of the Mechanical Dome entered its final stage. The entire dome, where it touched the ground, covered a semi-circular area of three hundred square meters.
With such a large-scale attack, Liang Yu didn’t believe the opponent could still avoid it.
After the last Sixteen Type reached its position, the Mechanical Dome was completed.
At this moment, all the Sixteen Types began to emit dazzling blue light. Even in the most intense afternoon sunlight, only one color remained in that area: blue.
The blue light grew stronger and stronger, followed by the Mechanical Dome releasing a powerful electrical pulse.
The electricity surged like silver snakes within the dome, leaving scorched earth wherever it passed.
Liang Yu stared intently downwards, and to his surprise, only that mass of gray hardened material actually began to slowly absorb electrical energy, and its previously cracked surface became smooth.
“Tsk!”
“Interesting.”
Liang Yu couldn’t help but laugh. However, this was only the beginning. If the attack from so many Sixteen Types was just like this, he would be too embarrassed to even use the Sixteen Types.
After the electrical pulse was released, countless points within the Mechanical Dome had completed their energy storage.
The next moment, countless beams of light directly shot towards the ground. The ground, already weakened and fragile from the previous low temperatures and high-temperature scorching, was like thin rice paper, breaking into holes with a mere touch.
The ground here was no exception. A continuous stream of light beams all plunged into the ground until all the energy of the Sixteen Types was completely depleted.
At this point, an unknown amount of energy had already accumulated underground, and when the last Sixteen Type’s beam of light ceased, the compressed energy within the energy balls formed by the converging beams underground began to release.
Just a moment later, the sky was filled with nothing but pure white, and Liang Yu’s system was flooded with notifications of the Sixteen Types disconnecting.
It only took more than ten seconds for the energy balls to release their massive energy. When the light faded, Liang Yu gasped at the sight before his eyes.
