Chapter 275: Lin Yao, You Are Too Fast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A shot was fired, and the target was 800 meters away.
Where the target was pointing, a weak, pitiful black cat was jumping out of a trash can.
The black cat was also looking at Lin Yao curiously, as if attracted by the electric light on Lin Yao’s fingertips. However, when it realized that Lin Yao was aiming at it, the black cat’s eyes instantly became cold vertical pupils, and it quickly inflated and arched its body, wanting to leap forward.
It was a pity that it was too confident in its disguise. Its last and biggest mistake in life was that it did not escape while Lin Yao gathered his power.
The electric light condensed in Lin Yao’s hands not only created a strong electromagnetic field to fire the Super Electromagnetic Gun, but he also secretly directed some of the electricity toward the sky.
As the black cat arched and was about to jump, thunderbolts appeared above its head and slammed down on it.
The speed of thunder and lightning was equal to the speed of light. Unless one could foretell the attack, there would be no way to dodge it. Although cats were synonymous with agility, they were not faster than light. The thunderbolt slammed down on the black cat and flashed with electricity.
Of course, as he did not want to alert the black cat, the lightning intensity released by Lin Yao was not high, and it only scorched the black cat’s fur without hurting its body.
For Lin Yao, this was enough. In addition to its attacking ability, after hitting it, the thunder and lightning could also stimulate the organism’s body tissue, causing the muscles to involuntarily contract spasmodically. The electric current that flowed into the body would also destroy the nervous system of the heart and lungs.
This kind of damage could cause the death of a slightly weaker person, and living creatures would not be able to control themselves in a short period of time. There was a special term in gaming terminology for this—paralysis!
The black cat, which had powerful physical strength, did not suffer much damage due to the electric shock, but the paralysis that came with the electric shock made it slow down briefly just before it leaped. This brief moment seemed eternal to the cat.
There was a loud boom. This was the loud noise made when the tungsten alloy pellet that had a powerful kinetic energy passed through a distance of 800 meters and hit the ground.
The black cat was only paralyzed for less than a second. However, the Super Electromagnetic Gun launched by Lin Yao was also several times faster than the speed of sound. A time lapse of less than one second was enough for it to cover a distance of 800 meters.
In addition to the speed, the super kinetic energy and the special bullets also endowed the tungsten alloy pellets with unparalleled penetration. When the pellets hit the black cat’s head, there was a loud boom, and it immediately cracked.
Some people had yet to recover.
A few seconds later, someone made a sound.
“Has it been dealt with?”
“I… Is it a mistake? That was just an ordinary cat…”
As some of them were blocked, not everyone could tell that the black cat had put up resistance. However, while everyone walked toward the black cat, their voices gradually stopped.
The black cat had disappeared, and a monster similar to the size of a tiger had collapsed on the ground with a broken head.
Looking at the monster, the silver warlords who had searched for a long time, remained silent for a while. They then looked at Lin Yao, who had been standing in the air, with complicated expressions on their faces.
There was awe, worship, and yearning in their eyes, but there was no hatred for him for snatching their prey. They did not dare do that!
Ignoring this, Lin Yao glanced at the headless tiger’s head and directed the camera issued by the Adventurers Association on his chest to shoot twice at the corpse. Lin Yao shook his head.
“It looks like you were pretty powerful. If we really engage in a fight, it will take some time. Unfortunately, the disguise makes it difficult for us to find you, and at the same time, it also suppresses your strength.”
When he said that, Lin Yao’s Tempest Wings flapped slightly behind him, and he flew into the distance.
As Lin Yao flew away, a sound broke the silence.
“Well, it’s over.”
“That person has only been here for less than a minute.”
“It has not even been a minute. He even took the time to take pictures. It is very likely that the search for the monster only lasted less than 10 seconds!”
“Damn, this is a harsh blow. I searched for a long time, yet he only needed 10 seconds. I am a silver warlord, while he is a warlord. Why is the gap so big?”
“What a handsome young guy. Do you think he is a tilted warlord in disguise?”
“How is it possible? No titled warlord would be idle enough to do this!”
“But this is too fast. There are so many of us, and there is a gold warlord who has been searching for a long time. He arrived and destroyed the monster in less than a minute. He is really young. He must be a super-genius.”
“…”
These heart-wrenching words made the guy next to him feel like hitting someone. In the end, someone who knew Lin Yao spoke up to save their dignity and restore their confidence.
“This is normal for a super-genius like him. He is on the Hidden Dragons List even before entering university. In China, he is the most outstanding young man of his generation. If he is not a super-genius, our country must be finished.”
“That’s right, the more powerful the top geniuses are, the better our lives will be.”
“Indeed. The stronger, the better.”
Lin Yao heard the discussion that followed. The range of the Electromagnetic Induction was too wide, and there was no way not to hear them.
However, Lin Yao ignored them. He did not want to waste time and he was ready to find a new task.
At that moment, Qin Ya instructed Lin Yao through the Bluetooth headset to look for the armed police who had stayed there to understand the situation.
“You must have arrived at the location. Someone from the Armed Police Force has remained at the crime scene. Go there and check for traces of the monster…”
The missions of the Adventurers Association were not released randomly. When the traces of monsters were detected through the surveillance cameras or through reports made by the public, the police would send people there as soon as possible. Regardless of how powerful they were, any beasts that were not skilled in hiding would be destroyed right away.
In fact, even before the police arrived, many righteous residents would step in to deal with the beasts.
The beasts that were good at fleeing and hiding posed a challenge for the police. It used to be alright in the past, as there had been many police officers.
However, now that there were mutations in the world, a large number of police officers, soldiers, and people from other official organizations had been dispatched outside or stationed in cities with weaker defense. This was why there was very little manpower in Shanghai, and some of the remaining police force was also focused on the most serious cases. When it came to other cases that were difficult to deal with but did not cause major casualties, the country would conduct investigations and a risk assessment before publicizing them in the Adventurers Association or asking the civil power to step in.
At the same time, in order to help the civil power and prevent them from wasting time, as well as to reduce the number of casualties, there would be police officers at each crime scene to explain the basic situation to the adventurers who were there.
Thinking that Lin Yao had already arrived, Qin Ya told Lin Yao to get some information first.
“It’s better to listen to the police’s advice. They are all veterans when it comes to handling such cases…”
“The mission has been completed.”
“Completed? Were we intercepted by another team? It seems like we are out of luck, but don’t worry. I will find another mission right away…”
“I completed it.”
“Huh?”
There was a long silence as she questioned what she’d heard. A few moments later, Qin Ya sounded very excited. “Are you kidding me?”
“Do you think I would be joking at this time?”
“No, it’s just… But how is this possible? It was too fast. You just reached that place!”
Lin Yao’s extremely fast completion speed not only shook other people but also shocked Qin Ya.
She was not a novice who knew nothing. Her martial artist talent might not be as good as Lin Yao’s, but she was no weaker than Lin Yao in terms of interpersonal relationships and the ability to understand things. She was very aware that even if the police did not employ special methods, it would take several days to locate a difficult monster.
If the civil power only had very little manpower, it would often be impossible to locate the monster.
This was also why the country would send armed police to assist, and there was no restriction to the number of people who accepted the task.
‘How could it be possible to complete this task in one minute? If it could be completed so easily, the country would not have assigned the task at all!’
