Exploding God

"You're not dead?"

"Am I supposed to die?"

"...But I heard gunshots."

"If I said the other person fired a shot and then shot themselves, would you believe me?"

bulubulubulu~~

Kim Sung-hui shook his head vigorously, his face clearly showing his disbelief.

"Actually, I find it hard to believe either."

With a helpless shrug, Lu Ze pushed open the door and entered. Padmé, wearing a gray shirt, stared unblinkingly at the doorway. In the messy room, a black laptop lay scattered on the floor.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the Glock pistol in the other party's hand.

Kim Sung-hui leaned against the wall, staring incredulously at Padmé's... corpse.

The gun in the other person's hand and the bullet hole between his eyebrows both proved what Lu Ze had just said.

However, if we let him believe that Padmé committed suicide with an extremely resolute mindset, and then, before dying, framed Lu Ze with extreme resentment...

This is absolutely ridiculous! Even online novel authors don't write like this!

I must have been masturbating too much lately, and I'm hallucinating...

Jin Chenghui shook his head vigorously, his gaze inadvertently falling on the black laptop ahead. Lu Ze lightly placed one foot on it and hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Although it might contain important information about us, if you're going to destroy it, don't use such primitive physical methods. These specially made computers have specially reinforced storage devices, which are difficult to destroy by human force..."

Lu Ze's right foot blurred for a moment.

squeak--

A tooth-grinding sound rang out, and the next second the entire laptop seemed to have been struck by a hydraulic press weighing hundreds of tons, instantly shattering.

boom!

Powder was scattered everywhere, flying in all directions.

I guarantee that even if the notebook's mother came, she wouldn't recognize it, if it had a mother.

"Never mind what I said." Kim Sung-hui's cheeks twitched as he turned his head away.

"How's the information blockade going?" Lu Ze asked softly as he walked out of the storeroom and the two passed each other.

"Although intercepting information is difficult, blocking it is quite simple. At this stage, using my 'Meltdown' program for cyberattacks is like launching a dimensional reduction attack," Jin Chenghui answered confidently, believing that this description was quite accurate.

"What do we do next? The gunshots just now should have attracted enough attention." Thinking of this, Jin Chenghui's face began to look uneasy. His usual self-proclaimed intelligence had completely given way to Lu Ze's calmness and composure.

Lu Ze's gaze was calm as he said, "Do you remember the ambush team you discovered?"

"Of course I remember. They were hiding on the perimeter. Their circuit signal characteristics were completely different from the group in front of us. They were clearly lying in wait."

"Can you send a message to their computers?" Lu Ze asked as he walked, his eyes casually scanning his surroundings.

"You're insulting me!" The bespectacled boy's face flushed red.

"Great, send them a message."

"What content?" Jin Chenghui took out his PDA, tapped his fingertips, and instantly entered the central control center of the melting program.

Watch out behind you.

After quickly sending out the four messages, Jin Chenghui realized what he had done and looked up to ask, "Do you think they'll believe such a low-level misleading statement?"

Lu Ze's lips curled into a smile as he calmly asked, "How do you know that what you think is necessarily true, and what I say is necessarily false?"

"The art of planning lies in your mind, while the art of breaking through lies in your feet."

"Both feet?" Kim Sung-hui never expected this answer.

"Looking down at the earth from the clouds, you'll realize how naive the path you've walked was."

Lu Ze raised his head and looked ahead, his eyes deep and calm, as if they could see through time.

……

……

In the kitchen of Jin Ya Restaurant, 2.7 kilometers southeast of Fengyun Network Center, the long table that should have been full of ingredients was now covered with electronic devices. Seven figures in black uniforms sat together, and the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

"Captain, an unknown message has infiltrated our system! Defense ineffective!"

The peace was suddenly broken when a figure rushed in, handing over his military computer. All seven people looked up at the same time.

Against a black and green code background, a line of striking red text stands out starkly.

—Watch out behind you!

This is……

"Hmph, such low-class provocation? Why don't you let me crush these arrogant moles with one hand?" A muscular man sneered, and as he spoke, the surrounding air seemed to become more tense.

"Niu Lie, this is the temporary command post of Special Operations Team Seven, not a place for you to have a brain fart." A little girl with a lollipop in her mouth sat on the sofa, leisurely swinging her legs.

"Hezi, I don't mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your parents." Niu Lie stood up with an unfriendly expression. His 2-meter height brought an oppressive feeling like a mountain, and his muscles were like lumps of iron.

"Hmph, I'm ashamed to be associated with you," the little girl said sarcastically, but her tone lost all its force when spoken in a clear, childlike voice.

"If you two want to argue, then leave. Zhuli, what do you think?" The middle-aged man sitting in the middle spoke in a deep voice, finally turning his gaze to the intellectual woman wearing glasses and a research uniform standing to the side.

"Perhaps it was the inventor of the melting point virus who gave us a warning!" Zhu Li, who exuded an intellectual air, raised her head, revealing a somewhat thin face. Behind her gold-rimmed glasses was a beautiful woman with a cool demeanor.

"So, as official troops fighting on home soil, even after completing the encirclement... we were still ambushed?" Niu Lie sneered, but his laughter quickly faded.

Because at that moment, the other six people were looking at him as if he were an idiot.

"What's wrong?" Niu Lie retorted defiantly.

"Ah~ God Haotian, please come and take this silly cow away!" The little girl named Hezi slapped her forehead and leaned back heavily into the sofa.

"We made assumptions beforehand, but our initial guess was that within 2 kilometers behind us, there was a sophisticated surveillance system, making it impossible for the enemy to counter-encircle us. Moreover, everyone knows that the farther away you are, the larger the encirclement will be," Zhu Li analyzed calmly. She activated the 3D projection map of Tingluo District in Shangnan City, which instantly divided Tingluo into three parts with red, green, and blue markings. Their location was precisely in the green area.

Niu Lie stared at it with his bull-like eyes for a long time, then suddenly burst into laughter: "I told you, how could we possibly be ambushed? Hahaha, He Zi, you little brat, what do you know?"

"Hahaha...haha...ha..." The only sound in the kitchen was Niu Lie's laughter, until he saw the captain staring at him expressionlessly. He then awkwardly stopped, muttering, "Was what I said wrong?"

"According to the Sky Eye system's monitoring, our area is still a safe zone. But since the inventors of the [Melting Point] virus have added a new variable, let's make a bold assumption—what if the enemy is lying in ambush 2 kilometers away?"

In the 3D map, a street is highlighted, and the text next to it clearly indicates that it represents the Shangnan underground black market... Changyang Street.

"Zhu Li, continue." Captain Wang Chuxiong, wearing a black nanotech suit, nodded in acknowledgment, while simultaneously giving Niu Lie a stern look that silenced him once again.

"Hmm. If we follow this line of reasoning, and the other party is hiding in an area lacking surveillance, then let's consider a second line of reasoning: how would they attack the special operations team?"

"Who cares? If they dare to come out, I'll crush them all one by one," Niu Lie muttered under his breath.

Hezi put the lollipop down from her mouth, her eyes wide, and muttered, "It must have the ability to cover a distance of 2 kilometers in a short time."

The long-haired youth with narrow eyes leaned against the corner of the wall and added casually, "It must have high mobility, and it can't be a floating weapon. The air traffic control area of ​​Tingluo District has been sealed off by a strong magnetic field."

"He Zi and Mu She are right. So the speculation is starting to point to an unlikely fact: the only force capable of simultaneously possessing rapid movement, surprise attack capabilities, and heavy firepower is..."

"A mech armor!?" The people around suddenly looked up and exclaimed in unison.

Indoor air —

A moment of stillness.
