Chapter 216 216. Got the drone
Janice's voice came through the earpiece: "Agent 4, withdraw immediately, the target's strength is beyond expectation."
"What on earth is this monster!"
Agent 4 turned and ran without hesitation.
As he walked, he still managed to steal from the people he passed by.
This was the terminal building of an airport, and many people were dragging luggage of all sizes.
Agent 4 pilfered a scarf here, a skirt there, tied up his long blonde hair, and softened his features to make them look gentle.
In the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a blonde beauty with a scarf tied around her neck, a complete change of gender.
If he were being followed, the pursuer would definitely be dumbfounded to realize they'd lost the target.
But Lu Yao was using Divine Sense Perception to track people, relying on tracking their "brainwaves." It's useless to change gender, let alone transform into a dog.
As Agent 4 walked, he suddenly realized someone was wrapping an arm around his waist!
"How is this possible! Who exactly are you!!!"
He wouldn't be as shocked if he got shot dead by a surprise attack. He had been vigilant while withdrawing; when did this person get close!
Within less than 0.3 seconds, Agent 4 drew his gun to shoot while simultaneously swinging his fist towards the opponent's throat.
However, Lu Yao's hands were already clasped like a blade, striking his heart before the other could react.
Agent 4 immediately lost his strength, as Lu Yao guided him to sit in a chair in the waiting area.

Lu Yao posed him to look as if he were resting in the chair, then removed the earpiece from the man's ear, and asked, "Is that you, Janice?"
"What an extraordinary performance! Mr. Lu, I suddenly feel that even without the formula, I must capture you to uncover the secrets of your body. You must have undergone Xia Country's most advanced physical enhancement!"
Lu Yao smiled silently. The display of physical prowess was deliberately subdued; otherwise, his true capabilities would be much more terrifying.
"The person you sent this time was too weak, no fun at all. You might want to consider bringing some heavy weapons next time, like missiles, tanks or something."
Lu Yao wanted to trick the other side into delivering equipment to save him the hassle of shopping around.
Janis mistook this for an insult and snorted coldly, "Mr. Lu, the game has just begun. Let's wait and see."
At that moment, her face looked exceptionally grim. Capturing the target was proving more difficult than imagined, and the mission could hardly proceed in secret.
Lu Yao sneered, determined to show the other party a lesson in due time!

Running towards the Mashev Tank Factory, Lu Yao, now in the advanced stages of the Marrow-Cleansing Realm, had a speed of around 120 km/h, resembling a small car when sprinting full speed, with the strong wind howling around him.
When he was close to his destination, he opened the door to the Otherworld and sent back the truck filled with money that Alexander from the Former Steel Alliance had given him, the truck produced during their time.
Upon meeting, as soon as Lu Yao stepped off the truck, Alexander gave him a warm bear hug:
"Lu, knowing you're in a hurry, I contacted the drone sales team as quickly as possible, getting them to give me a plane that was supposed to be sold to Mali. Come on, let's test it out."
Alexander took Lu Yao to a vast open space at the factory, where a strangely shaped drone was already waiting quietly.
This "Rainbow-5" was Xia Country's latest "reconnaissance and combat" drone.
It was not small at all, with a wingspan of over 20 meters! But what it gained in size, it matched in unparalleled payload capacity. The drone's takeoff weight exceeded 3 tons, and it could be equipped with up to 16 weapons!
Xia Country's weapons firepower had always been satisfying. For many poor and small nations, biting the bullet to buy one equated to having an air force.
Because many of the clients came from impoverished and backward nations, operating the Rainbow 5 drone wasn't as difficult as one might imagine.
After all, if Uncle Black could operate it, it surely couldn't be too hard.
At the moment, Lu Yao was sitting in front of a simple control panel, maneuvering the drone as it took off and soared through the sky.
The control panel consisted of a joystick and two monitors, and there was even a keyboard.
The F1-F12 keys on the keyboard were for functions such as laser targeting and missile launching. If a mouse was included, the whole setup would resemble playing games in an internet cafe, which was really thoughtful.
Yanmei laughed heartily, "Lu, you really are an expert with drones, flying them both fast and steady. How about that, I've even prepared a ground station inside a truck for you so you can take off anytime, anywhere."
"Mhm, you really thought of everything. The money is in the car I brought, and it's yours now."
Lu Yao was very satisfied. With the ground control station, even without satellites, the drone could be operated within a range of 200 kilometers.
Alexander rushed to the truck immediately.
Seeing the truck filled with cash, his face flushed with excitement, he picked up a stack of notes, inhaled deeply, and yelled back,
"Lu, our transactions are always so smooth! If you need anything in the future, be sure to contact me! I'll provide the highest quality service!"
"Pleasure doing business."
After confirming there were no issues, Lu Yao returned to the Otherworld with the full set of drone equipment.

In the Otherworld, Jin Garden
The two sisters had already packed their bags and, upon hearing the honk of their junior brother's horn, they were the first to grab their stuff, hop in the car, and set off.
Three Spiritual Sparrowhawks were screeching in the sky; they would also accompany them on this trip.
Sitting in the truck, the sisters were curious about the contents of the vehicle. Liao Qe asked, "What is this thing you brought back? Is that a torpedo?"
The drone, with its wings detached, was placed in the cargo hold, looking quite peculiar. The anti-tank missiles, at a cursory glance, did indeed resemble torpedoes, albeit much smaller in size.
Lu Yao laughed, "It's a very powerful thing, you'll find out in a couple of days."

Enjoy new tales from empire
At the Lushun Port of the Shun Dynasty, towering ironclad warships were slowly leaving the harbor.
Accompanied by the deep sound of foghorns, smoke billowed from the stacks of the battleships while countless seabirds circled overhead, preying on the schools of fish driven out by the ships.
Yu Yanmei stood on the watchtower of the "Zhiyuan" ship, captivated by the sight before her. She seemed greatly interested and kept watching long after the coastline had disappeared.
It was with these steel monsters that humanity could leave the land and venture into the sea.
But the sea was still synonymous with danger.
In the distant waters, a massive shark was tearing apart an equally gigantic whale, staining a large swathe of the ocean red with the turmoil of the waves.
This shark was nearly as large as the whale, measuring about 20 meters in length, its jaws full of ferocious teeth ripping its prey to shreds in mere moments.
At that moment, a man dressed in navy admiral's uniform approached and said, "That's a Megalodon, with a fondness for hunting whales."
Yu Yanmei nodded coolly in acknowledgment, "Captain Deng."
The newcomer was the captain of the "Zhiyuan," resolute in expression and boisterous in voice, with a black dog following behind him.
He gave a fist-and-palm salute to the lady before him, "With Grandmaster Yu onboard, our ship is impregnable. However, some Izumo Ninjas are reckless with their lives, attempting to infiltrate under the cover of creatures like the Megalodon, so Grandmaster Yu must be careful."
Yu Yanmei responded softly, "Rest assured, Captain Deng." A glint of cold light flickered on her steel sword.
