Chapter 380: Heist!

Luo Jinyou:......

Right, those people tricked the passengers into gathering at the banquet hall, claiming that the banquet hall had already been taken over by them.

So the question arises—who is in the banquet hall?

"...... Can we really survive?"

Accustomed to a down‑to‑earth feeling, Luo Jinyou timidly asked, while the airship had already risen to a considerable altitude, that altitude......

A stone can also smash into countless pieces, right?!

The two people who had also been tormented by Ying Duo finally reached a consensus.

Bai Mu Yun wasn't worried about what those bandits could become, after all, no matter how Meiweis says, she is still from the Mutation Department, but the problem is that this airship has an even more volatile dangerous element.

The only fear is that these bandits who popped up halfway might become an excuse for Ying Duo to suddenly turn hostile.

Ying Duo's "lethality" can only be understood by those who have experienced it firsthand.

"Sigh......"

Thinking of this, the two let out heavy sighs in unison.

————————————————

Ying Duo has already been wandering around the banquet hall.

His 【Stealth】 level is very high, and with the bandits' attention focused on the hostages, no one notices what he's doing in the corner.

Considering that bullets are blind and can easily damage the surrounding glass, he straightforwardly switched to directional Explosives.

After all, the memory of being battered by a gale in Tianmian City and then whipped by his own hair is still vivid. If possible, he truly doesn't want to reach that point......

Even if it might not be needed, that doesn't stop him from installing his Explosives throughout the entire banquet hall first.

【Explosive Units Deployed: 17/???】

Ying Duo gave a satisfied glance at his masterpiece.

He roughly guessed the so‑called curse mechanism the group mentioned; the one who devised it must be a big con artist, but to him, it's all just leftover play.

Since his Mutation Source is a stone, Ying Duo is quite curious about what the scene would look like if he turned into a stone man.

The communicator that maintains contact with the Dome finally showed activity.

"The Dome has responded; they are willing to cooperate with us to exchange hostages!"

The host's voice carried delight; after checking the message from the communicator, his smile grew wider.

The surrounding bandits all breathed a sigh of relief, and some couldn't help but whisper cheers.

Hua Jian Lei's plan actually succeeded!

The host clenched the communicator, suppressing his excitement, and began to continue sending messages as previously agreed.

"Tell the Dome to simultaneously prepare what we need for evacuation—fuel, supplies, and so on!"

"Yes!"

The bandits immediately got to work.

The hostages in the banquet hall looked at each other, but also knew the Dome had reached an agreement with the bandits, and they would soon be safe.

Ying Duo understood as well; the Dome agreed to their request.

Just like that, they agreed?

Ying Duo blinked; after all, he had only just heard about the Dome's intense hunt for the Undead, and yet they released them so easily?

They must have ulterior motives.

No wonder the game didn't even have a random event; it wrapped up so quickly.

Then what about the bomb he just painstakingly set up?

Is it because his body is too stiff and needs to move a bit?

Ying Duo looked down at the 17 explosive units he had painstakingly placed throughout the banquet hall.

He had a gut feeling something was off; people in this world are increasingly scheming, and any abnormality could be a trap.

If that's the case......

Ying Duo leapt onto a table, and with a "Bang" the table rattled but held steady.

Everyone's gaze turned to him.

Both the bandits and the hostages were stunned.

Meiweis slightly raised an eyebrow, and the host's smile froze on his face.

Including Yang Yichen, who had just been "escorted" here by the bandits, and Hua Jian Lei, were also bewildered.

"You—!"

A bandit dressed as a waiter instinctively tried to rush forward, but Ying Duo's gaze pinned him in place.

Ying Duo stood on the table, looking down over the entire banquet hall.

"Now it's my turn to rob."

The banquet hall fell into dead silence; the host opened his mouth, about to say something,

Only to see Ying Duo raise his hand, and a tiny remote controller had somehow appeared in his grasp.

"Now the entire airship has been rigged with Explosives by me."

His voice showed little inflection, yet it startled everyone.

"There are already seventeen in this banquet hall alone, placed in every corner; if you don't believe it, you can try looking for them, and as soon as I press this button..."

He shook the remote in his hand.

"Boom, you all will die."

A gasp of cold air rang through the banquet hall; no one expected that after just escaping a tiger's mouth, a Cheng Yaogin suddenly appeared halfway.

The host's complexion turned extremely grim, and the bandits exchanged uneasy looks, not knowing what to do.

Ying Duo ignored them, took off his glasses and tossed them aside, then ran his hand through his hair.

Maybe because the event was sudden, Bai Mu Yun hadn't obtained a high‑quality dye, and after a while his hair felt uncomfortable all over.

The dye's effect was forcibly wiped out by the energy, and that head of fluorescent‑green shredded hair finally emerged into daylight.

"Now," Ying Duo's golden eyes scanned the room, "this airship has been taken over by our Co‑Absorption."

The banquet hall fell silent, a hostage's legs went weak and he sat on the floor, and a robber's mouth gaped so wide it wouldn't close for a long time.

Co‑Absorption.

If those Undead are Invaders, at least they can still be barely counted among humans.

But Co‑Absorption is different; all its members are Aberrant Species with their own minds, a terrifying organization of true cultists.

It is said that before that incident in Tianmian City, Co‑Absorption was already sparking Mutations all over the place.

At that time, this was a topic that many inside the Dome inevitably talked about, but now the fire has turned on them, they can't laugh at all.

Of course, there are always a few exceptions.

Mei Wei Si lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, unsure whether she was laughing or frightened.

Yang Yichen stared at that head of fluorescent green, realized his mental preparation was insufficient, and dared not look any longer.

Hua Jian Lei looked at the self‑glowing green and suddenly understood why the actor kept demanding a hair‑color change as soon as they came back.

Why does this world have no smoke?

The host's face had turned black as a pot bottom; he opened his mouth and, with great effort, managed to utter a sentence:

"You... who the hell are you?!"

Ying Duo tilted his head, "Flame City Cannon."

Is his green not eye‑catching enough?
