    Chapter 192

    Su Hao shadowed Fiend Lu from approximately eight kilometers away.

    He didn't dare get any closer.

    He had no idea how far Lu's perception extended.

    Nor did he dare follow directly behind him.

    Trailing a Mutant capable of producing a gene toxin would have been utterly irrational.

    If Su Hao were Fiend Lu...

    He would have left Gene Toxin-1 scattered along his entire route, turning every step into a deadly trap.

    That would accomplish two things.

    First, it would prevent anyone from tracking him.

    Second, it would silently eliminate any Mutants hiding outside the cities.

    Following alongside him was, without question, the safest option.


    ---

    After observing him for a while, Su Hao quickly confirmed Lu's destination.

    "Temple Forest City..."

    "He really is heading for Temple Forest City."


    ---

    "...He's coming for me."


    ---

    "If I don't strike first..."

    "It'll become a deadly situation."


    ---

    Had Su Hao still been inside Temple Forest City...

    The two of them would have inevitably met.

    Following his usual habits, the moment he detected a Seventh-Tier Mutant entering the city's vicinity...

    He would have intercepted them personally.


    ---

    And if that opponent happened to be Fiend Lu...

    Without understanding the true nature of Gene Toxin-1...

    He would certainly have been infected.

    He wouldn't have survived.


    ---

    At that point...

    It wouldn't have been a battle.

    It would have been suicide.


    ---

    By now, Su Hao had realized something.

    There would always be someone trying to kill him.

    If he wanted to live a long life...

    He had to seize the initiative and eliminate every potential threat before it could grow.


    ---

    ...


    ---

    Brother Wu and Xiaodan entered Linyuan City, filled with hope for a new beginning.

    Very soon...

    They realized something was terribly wrong.


    ---

    The entire city was shrouded in mourning.

    Everywhere they looked...

    People wept for their loved ones.

    Bodies were continuously carried from houses and laid beside the streets.

    Judging from the city's size...

    Several thousand people had probably died.


    ---

    Xiaodan instinctively grabbed Brother Wu's arm.

    "Brother Wu..."

    "I'm scared."


    ---

    Although Brother Wu himself felt a chill run through his heart, he forced himself to remain calm.

    "Don't be afraid."

    "I'm here."


    ---

    Xiaodan tugged anxiously at his sleeve.

    "Let's leave."

    "Quickly."


    ---

    Brother Wu took a deep breath.

    After calming himself, he led her into a secluded alley.

    Then he began analyzing the situation.


    ---

    "Xiaodan."

    "Trust me."

    "I'll get us out of this nightmare."


    ---

    "These people have only just died."

    "That means Fiend Lu probably hasn't gone far."

    "If we leave immediately..."

    "We'll definitely avoid him."


    ---

    As he spoke...

    His thoughts gradually became clearer.

    Confidence returned to his face.


    ---

    "I've figured out his pattern."

    "This time..."

    "We'll head in the opposite direction."

    "And we'll avoid large cities."


    ---

    Xiaodan blinked.

    "Then where are we going?"

    "We can't spend the rest of our lives hiding in villages."


    ---

    Brother Wu shook his head.

    "Of course not."

    "We'll go to a smaller city."

    "A place more like a large town."

    "Someone like Fiend Lu would never bother going there."


    ---

    "I've already heard of one."

    "It's only a few days away."

    "Temple Forest City."


    ---

    "I'll take you there."


    ---

    Xiaodan hesitated.

    "But..."

    "What if Fiend Lu goes there too?"


    ---

    Brother Wu smiled confidently.

    "Don't worry."

    "Trust your Brother Wu."


    ---

    She loved seeing that confident smile.

    Nodding firmly, she replied,

    "I trust you."


    ---

    Brother Wu took her hand.

    "Let's go."


    ---

    ...


    ---

    Meanwhile...

    Su Hao had already finalized his plan.


    ---

    The first option he eliminated...

    Was close combat.


    ---

    Even though his Diamond Armor possessed astonishing defensive power...

    It was ultimately still composed of living cells.

    And Gene Toxin-1 specifically targeted living cells.

    Against such an ability...

    His Diamond Armor would likely lose control almost instantly.


    ---

    Close combat...

    Was simply too dangerous.


    ---

    Next...

    He considered sniping.


    ---

    His current effective sniping range was roughly three thousand meters.

    Beyond that...

    Too many variables appeared.


    ---

    More importantly...

    He still knew nothing about Fiend Lu's perception abilities.

    How far could Lu detect danger?

    Would a single shot even kill him?


    ---

    Su Hao lacked sufficient information.

    If one shot failed...

    Everything afterward would become unpredictable.


    ---

    So sniping was also rejected.


    ---

    That left only one option.

    Explosives.


    ---

    But how should they be used?


    ---

    Dropping bombs from the sky wouldn't work.

    The bombs themselves were made from Diamond Armor.

    If he simply threw one toward Lu...

    There was a high probability it would be destroyed before reaching its target.

    Whether by Gene Toxin-1...

    Or some other unknown ability.


    ---

    As always...

    Su Hao sought the safest possible method.

    One strike.

    No mistakes.


    ---

    "So..."

    "I'll bury landmines."

    "And detonate them remotely using Control Runes."


    ---

    Decision made...

    He immediately began working.


    ---

    After calculating Lu's walking speed and projected route...

    Su Hao rushed ahead.

    Finding an ideal location...

    He burrowed underground.


    ---

    Inside a freshly excavated chamber...

    He raised one hand.


    ---

    A triggering device slowly took shape in his palm.

    One Control Rune after another was engraved onto it.


    ---

    Next...

    He covered it with a hollow layer of crystal.

    Upon that surface...

    He engraved an enormous number of Level Two—Burst Runes.


    ---

    Another layer.

    More runes.


    ---

    Another layer.

    Even more runes.


    ---

    The sphere steadily expanded.

    Larger...

    And larger...


    ---

    Nearly fifteen minutes later...

    The weapon was complete.


    ---

    Level Two—One Thousand Bursts.


    ---

    It measured nearly four meters in diameter.


    ---

    Looking at his masterpiece, Su Hao nodded in satisfaction.

    Then he engraved one final rune.

    Level Two—Attachment.


    ---

    This rune allowed his Blood Essence to remain connected to the bomb for an extended period.

    Otherwise...

    If the stored Blood Essence dissipated before detonation...

    The explosive power would be greatly reduced.


    ---

    Once everything was finished...

    Su Hao quickly retreated.

    Only after reaching a safe distance did he begin remotely channeling Blood Essence into One Thousand Bursts.


    ---

    He deliberately avoided charging it while standing nearby.

    After all...

    If it detonated accidentally...

    Even he might not survive.


    ---

    One Thousand Bursts was no ordinary explosive.


    ---

    Feeling the steady drain on his Blood Essence, Su Hao calculated silently.

    "At maximum..."

    "I could probably make over a hundred of these."


    ---

    But there wasn't enough time.


    ---

    According to his estimates...

    He had only five hours before Lu arrived.

    As his efficiency improved...

    He could complete roughly six bombs every hour.


    ---

    Thirty in total.


    ---

    Su Hao frowned.

    "Only thirty..."


    ---

    "My ideal number would've been eighty."

    "That would've been truly safe."


    ---

    "But..."

    "This will have to do."


    ---

    Thirty simultaneous explosions...

    Should be enough.


    ---

    He carefully buried every bomb along Fiend Lu's projected path.

    Each one was positioned precisely where Lu was most likely to step.


    ---

    In some respects...

    Fiend Lu was nearly invincible.

    As long as he concealed his identity and abilities...

    Almost nobody could even find him.


    ---

    But invincible...

    Didn't mean immortal.


    ---

    There were always forces beyond one's understanding.

    Always something capable of killing you.


    ---

    More importantly...

    Fiend Lu wasn't like Life Bearer Xiu.

    He didn't possess extraordinary regenerative abilities.

    If he suffered enough damage...

    He would die just like any other Mutant.


    ---

    Not every Seventh-Tier Mutant was as difficult to kill as a Life Bearer.


    ---

    Five hours passed quickly.


    ---

    The final bomb was buried.

    Everything returned to its original appearance.

    No trace of the trap remained.


    ---

    Su Hao emerged silently from the tall grass.

    The earth above the buried explosives looked completely undisturbed.


    ---

    "Now..."

    "We wait."


    ---

    "In another two hours..."

    "Fiend Lu will arrive."


    ---

    With that thought...

    Su Hao quietly retreated to a safe observation point.


    ---

    Two hours later...

    Exactly as predicted...

    Fiend Lu stepped into the trap.
