I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods-Chapter 506 - 119: The Shocking Trap

"Veteran, record the situation that just occurred, and scout the surroundings. If anyone dares to make a move on the hovercar again, there's no need to issue three warnings, just open fire."

He gave another order to the veteran.

"Yes."

Without a moment's hesitation, the veteran complied directly.

"Lastly, Scar."

The blindfolded man looked at the doctor with scars, who, despite not quite understanding, stood upright.

"Go change the battery for the laser array."

"That thing can still be used a few times, but it's better to change it in advance to prevent any scenarios where it goes silent after a few shots."

Upon hearing this, Scar showed a frustrated and helpless expression, unable to help but glance at the laser battery, which was even larger than a person.

It's clearly a tough job.

But rank trumps all; despite his displeasure, he had no choice but to comply with the man's request...

Meanwhile, out on the street, Tian En looked at the heads of the marauders that had been pierced through and then turned to look at Yun You, who was holding her hand. Finally, she understood why Yun You had pulled her back, not letting her make a move right away.

The targeting of that laser array would not first determine her identity.

Merely approaching would make her a target.

Even though the laser might not necessarily harm her... no one wants to take such an attack head-on.

"Trauma Company has managed to establish itself in Nest City; aside from having a broad network, they must also have powerful private forces."

Yun You folded her hands behind her back, watching those criminals gradually losing interest in the hovercar, calmly stating, "I think for ordinary dangers, we shouldn't need to intervene."

"If an Apprentice Death God attacks the convoy, then we will make a legitimate move."

Tian En nodded slightly and, although there was still some worry in her eyes, she knew that sometimes, an Apprentice Death God couldn't be the first to act.

Because the current conflict is still at the level of "gang warfare"; despite the continuous minor troubles, there wouldn't be any major issues.

However, once an Apprentice Death God takes action, the nature of the entire matter changes.

Those lurking in the shadows might wonder why a mere hovercar needs to be protected by an Apprentice Death God. Is there perhaps an important figure inside?

This might attract attention from even stronger individuals.

"Of course, I never said we have to wait here idle."

Suddenly, Yun You switched her tone, pointing to a shadow hiding not far away in a corner.

It was a sneaky mechanic, assembling something that resembled a turret. At a glance, its caliber was at least 200 mm, comparable to a tank's main gun.

The hovercar's armored steel plates are very resilient, but if it's the sides or the bottom, it definitely couldn't withstand a shell-piercing projectile.

This guy was hiding quite well, hidden within the fog with dense mist continuously drifting around, possibly using a smoke generator to cover his tracks.

"Helping Mokaka clear potential threats is part of our mission too."

Yun You casually remarked as she retrieved a cheap dagger from her pocket and, without another word, tossed it out.

"Thud~!"

The dagger cut a graceful arc through the air, directly piercing the mechanic's chest.

Yet, the anticipated spray of blood did not occur.

The silver dagger indeed pierced through the mechanic's body, but the moment it came out, his already faint form suddenly blew apart like a balloon filled with air, and gray mist erupted, spreading at near light speed...

The crowd had no time to react before being engulfed by the gray mist...

Only then did Yun You and Tian En realize that perhaps that so-called mechanic wasn't human.

The gray mist rose, enveloping everything within.

"A trap?!!"

Yun You's pupils narrowed, contemplating the possibility.

Could it be that the mechanic was deliberately luring her to make a move, triggering this gray mist?

"No, it's not."

The young girl quickly dismissed the thought.

Because on careful thought, the fog around that mechanic had appeared long ago, possibly accumulating, waiting for a total release.

The dagger merely prematurely triggered it.

Even if she hadn't acted, the fog would have appeared, perhaps covering a larger area due to accumulating strength for a longer time.

If it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, one can't avoid it.

Since someone doesn't want her and Tian En Mokaka to have it easy, she'll have to face it head-on.

"It seems there are quite a few people with ill intentions tonight..."

Yun You furrowed her eyebrows slightly, continuously observing her surroundings.

Ever since the fog spread, the scene around became increasingly blurry; visibility was scarcely more than a meter.

Yun You could only barely make out the outlines of nearby buildings.

Unable to see Tian En, she attempted to contact the girl via radio.

But after several calls, all she received through the earpiece was indistinct electromagnetic noise.

Yet that wasn't surprising.

Because within this expanse of fog, Yun You smelled a familiar cold scent.

The scent of the Death Domain.

Undoubtedly, at this moment, she was already within the Death Domain.

All sounds from the outside world had vanished; in Yun You's vision, the entire world was wrapped in dense fog.

The power of the Death Domain was like a sharp knife, blinding one's eyes, depriving them of the ability to perceive the outside.

The only beacon she could use for direction was the hovercar floating in the sky not far away.

Its red and blue lights barely pierced through the fog, flashing constantly in the sky.

Everything became unfamiliar.

[Don't panic, Yun Cub]

Amidst the profound silence, Master Zero's voice emerged, like a lifeline, giving Yun You's tense mood some semblance of relaxation.

[Don't forget where you are—this is a Steel Forest once ravaged by nuclear war. How many wronged souls died here? Excessive radiation coupled with overwhelming negative energy turned the entire area into a cradle nurturing the Death Domain]

[Frankly speaking, anyone acting around here has more or less encountered the Death Domain. It's not strange]

[Some small Death Domains endure briefly, with minor impacts, often encountered just by going out... turning a corner. Their threats are significantly less than what you imagine, far from the troubles posed by the Death Domains you've previously faced]

[Find a way to locate the core of the Death Domain and dismantle it!]

Listening to Master Zero's explanation, Yun You let out a sigh of relief.

Indeed, Yun You had developed quite a psychological shadow concerning the Death Domain.

After all, the Death Domains she had encountered were either like the secluded and isolated Yangshan Town, plotted for god knows how many years, or like the Floating Island, hiding a mass grave of the Great Buddha.

Having repeatedly endured such experiences, it would be stranger not to develop some psychological trauma.

Just as Master Zero suggested, for an Apprentice Death God, most Death Domains aren't particularly dangerous, easily manageable, and nothing to truly fear.

Resolving to this, Yun You clenched her fist, rekindling her spirit, silently perceiving the world around her.

And soon, amidst the nearby fog, she found a familiar figure.

A closer look confirmed it was the mechanic from before!

Presumably, it was a mutant creature within the Death Domain.

"...!"

Seeing Yun You notice its existence, the mechanic intended to flee...

But the young girl wouldn't allow it an escape opportunity.

Without hesitation, Yun You stomped the ground, darted forward like an arrow, and in an instant, crossed several dozen meters, delivering a punch to the mechanic's body.

"Bang—!"

Instantly, the mechanic's body was shattered.

All the fog gradually cleared following the mechanic's demise.

But just as the last wisp of fog was dispelled, revealing the real world...

Swish!

A sharp knife tore through the lingering mist, emerging from the shadows, thrusting towards Yun You's heart as if everything was within its expectation.

The one wielding the knife was a human clad in a gray robe.

Within his grip, a Three-Phase Diagram shimmered quietly...

The attacker was an Apprentice Death God!
