Chapter 540: Chapter 393 Private Chat_2
But what about the missiles stored in those encampments? Not to mention the cost issue, just considering the current situation, it’s nearly impossible to produce those more advanced models of missiles. Moreover, even if those missiles were produced, they would be supplied first to more important major cities. For those small remote towns, there wouldn’t be any share for them.
Therefore, facing the continuous plasma bomb attacks from plasma bugs, many camp leaders, upon seeing that there were only a few missiles left in their camps, would arrange for ordinary survivors to leave first. Then, the remaining people would swiftly flee their original encampment during a lull in the plasma bug attacks.
During plasma bug attacks, soldier bugs will not actively come to assault. These soldier bugs may not be smart, but they’re not stupid. Reality is not a game; plasma bombs do not come with a "friendly fire immunity" effect. Hence, under normal circumstances, during an attack by plasma bugs, all members of the Bug Race would stay put and refrain from action.
After experiencing other regions being overrun, all cities that had not been breached by the bug tide understood that at the first sign of the Bug Race’s arrival, they must eliminate all plasma bugs first; otherwise, no matter how strong the defenses, it would be impossible to prevent the inevitable breach.
This time, Dong Tianyu had thought to be a quiet observer in the sky, just as before, as if watching a real-life war movie.
But just as Dong Tianyu was about to leave, Yara brought the Simon Family siblings, who had teamed up with him for a mission last time, to Dong Tianyu’s house. He then took out a square little box and said to Dong Tianyu, "Put down your electronic device, find a room with no electronic devices, and let’s talk."
After speaking, Yara asked the Simon Family siblings to wait for him in the yard. He then discarded his communicator on the table. Seeing Yara’s action, Dong Tianyu also put his communicator on the table and then led Yara into the sunroom on the third floor.
This room was specifically designed by Dong Tianyu as a place to relax and drink tea. It hardly had any electronic devices, let alone many charging sockets.
After entering the room, Yara still didn’t feel entirely at ease. He took out the square box from his body again and then asked Dong Tianyu once more, "You’re sure there are no electronic devices in this room, right?"
When Dong Tianyu heard Yara asking this, he replied a bit unhappily, "In my own home, do I have a reason to deceive you?"
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s response, Yara thought about it and felt it made sense. However, he still had to say to Dong Tianyu, "Always making a fuss, if you don’t give me a satisfactory answer this time, well, there are many ways the world can go round and round. We’ll see."
Hearing Yara’s words, which were half-reminder and half-threat, Dong Tianyu didn’t take them to heart. Instead, he glanced sideways at her and said with some impatience, "We’re all young; why bother with all that nonsense? Speak plainly if you have something to say. Don’t beat around the bush."
After Dong Tianyu said this, Yara immediately opened the box. With the opening of the box, Dong Tianyu felt an invisible wave pass through his body, bouncing around the room before gradually fading away.
Seeing this result, Yara finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Dong Tianyu in a very relaxed tone, "What’s in that box is a kind of extraordinary item. When opened, it directly destroys all electronic products within its radiation range.
The matters we need to discuss this time are quite important. Our conversation must absolutely not be known by a third party, so that’s why I’m being so cautious."
Dong Tianyu, seeing Yara’s careful actions, became curious about what Yara wanted to say next, "Just speak up if there’s something on your mind, stop with the suspense."
Seeing Dong Tianyu’s expression change slightly, Yara directly stated the purpose of his visit, "I don’t have many things to discuss with you this time, but they’re all quite important. Let’s take them one by one.
I’ve received news that the fleeing survivors will soon arrive in Kyoto. Our plan should be able to proceed very soon, and we can start trading now." After saying that, Yara took out five oddly-shaped items.
Looking at those items Yara had found from who knows where, Dong Tianyu, while not knowing the purpose of these items, used Divine Sense to sweep over them and could tell the authenticity of the items.
After confirming they were all genuine, Dong Tianyu directly asked, "The items are real. For ordinary materials, I’ll sell them to you at ninety percent of the listed purchase price. You name your price for the items you brought. If it’s fair, I’ll take them all."
Hearing Dong Tianyu’s offer, Yara didn’t quote a high price. After all, it was their first cooperation, so the price he gave was quite reasonable.
After finalizing the price, they did not sign any contract but directly handed over the item to Dong Tianyu. Only then did he say to Dong Tianyu, "The transaction is complete. I was so cautious just now mainly because I heard some horrifying rumors."
Before Dong Tianyu could speak up, Yara took the initiative and said to him, "I know you have a method of investigation, and I won’t ask what it is. Now, give me a thorough examination."
Hearing Yara say this, Dong Tianyu was even more puzzled, "What are you coming to me for? If you’re sick, go to the Hospital. What’s the use of looking for me?"
Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s response, Yara untied her clothes and then revealed her shoulder, which bore a very peculiar tattoo. She then looked at Dong Tianyu with a bewildered gaze.
She continued, "I usually wear clothes, and now even when I sleep, I wear nightclothes. But one day, when I was taking a bath, I suddenly discovered that a tattoo had appeared on my shoulder. I’m sure I haven’t gotten any tattoos recently.
Here’s something you won’t believe—I even tore off the skin where the tattoo was and then found an Awakener to heal it.
The new skin initially looked perfectly normal, but it didn’t take long before the tattoo reappeared on my shoulder.
Although the tattoo currently isn’t sore or itchy, and I’ve also had a full-body examination at the Hospital, the problem could not be identified, which unsettles me," Yara said.
Upon hearing this, Dong Tianyu immediately used Divine Sense to observe her.
At first, Dong Tianyu did not pay much attention, but when the first scan did not reveal any problems, he immediately scanned again.
The focused Dong Tianyu vaguely noticed that the tattoo on the skin did not seem like a real tattoo but rather a screen that projected the pattern.
It was precisely for this reason that Yara, despite trying various methods, could only delay the reappearance of the tattoo on her body but could not completely remove it.
With this clue, Dong Tianyu took Yara’s arm closer and adjusted the angle to examine the tattoo carefully. Then Dong Tianyu used Divine Sense to scan it again, this time employing the earliest and most time-consuming observation technique, simultaneously observing and mentally simulating it.
Seeing Dong Tianyu deep in thought, Yara did not fret too much. After all, she had already tried various methods without resolving it, and had already come to terms with the situation as if she were grasping at straws.
Based on the conclusions repeatedly simulated in his mind, Dong Tianyu once again observed her with Divine Sense. However, this time the scope of observation was very small, so Dong Tianyu inspected it inch by inch himself.
Eventually, Dong Tianyu finally discovered the cause—the tattoo on Yara’s shoulder was related to a small object hidden in the crevices of her bones.
Dong Tianyu reported his findings truthfully, and upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s narrative, Yara’s expression was one of great joy, because finding the cause meant the rest of the problem would be much simpler to address.
They just needed to find an Awakener with healing abilities, then perform surgery directly on that spot in the bone seam, followed by having the Awakener use the healing skill, which should probably resolve the issue.
Dong Tianyu had initially thought that Yara’s anxiety stemmed from the indelible tattoo on her shoulder, but who would have imagined that the two issues Yara initially mentioned were minor in comparison.
After taking care of her own matters, Yara’s expression turned very serious, and then she said to Dong Tianyu, "I’ve discovered that the personalities of many people in the camp have suddenly changed, which could be due to..."
