Chapter 114: Lauris's Scandals, Secrets, and Temptations
Two days later.
Bang bang bang...
Bullets penetrated the shooting targets and struck the blast-proof sandbags behind them.
【50-meter moving target, shooting score: 97 rings, evaluation: Excellent】
As the electronic synthesized voice announced through the shelter, Yu Yuan put down the AK-12 in his hand, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Not bad!"
After two days of gathering supplies and placing purchase requests on Taotao Hole.
He had finally managed to construct this special facility 【Indoor Shooting Range】 today.
【Indoor Shooting Range】
Quality: ExcellentLanes: 2
Range length: 50 meters
Function: Adds additional shooting range space to the shelter; during shooting training, additionally increases shooting proficiency, with a chance to trigger enlightenment effects.
Yu Yuan specifically built this facility for the additional proficiency increase effect.
With the major faction conflicts approaching, he needed to rapidly improve his strength.
Checking the time, Yu Yuan frowned slightly.
"It's been two days already, and Thug Prison still hasn't finalized their plan? Carmen hasn't sent any messages either!"
"This shouldn't be happening!"
Leaving the shooting range, he went to the cultivation tank containing the mealworms to check on the little creatures' growth progress.
After several days of growth, the mealworms had grown considerably, wriggling around in the flour pile, making Yu Yuan's heart blossom with joy.
"Eat! Eat more! Transform into pupae and adults sooner, then lay the next generation of eggs."
Then he entered the civil defense shelter level passageway, added new fodder for the Cree Mountain sheep, and Yu Yuan entered the Starry Sky Observatory.
On the viewing platform, the Crazy Planting Trough bathed in the lingering glow of the sunset.
The still-moist humus soil within the trough silently nurtured life.
Yu Yuan's first planting attempt had already begun.
This time he chose to plant wild chives, which had abundant seeds. Although only one day had passed, Yu Yuan kept coming to check on them from time to time, his heart itching with anticipation.
"Chives... speaking of which, chive flower paste with plain boiled mutton is absolutely amazing!"
Yu Yuan's mouth began to water uncontrollably.
Suppressing his craving for delicious food.
He took out the binoculars and looked toward the residential building on Helen Commercial Street, his movements pausing slightly.
Because he saw the signal Carmen had left.
"Finally some news after two days!"
He immediately returned to the shelter, equipped his gear, and headed to District 6 with Mie Mie.
Before long, he returned with Carmen's intelligence.
Coming to the Magazine Display Stand, he flipped through the newspaper news from the past two days, integrating information.
"Nightingale Luo Mei disappeared after leaving the Opera Building yesterday, obviously captured by Thug Prison. Presumably Thug Prison already has a clear understanding of Lilith's situation."
"Aurora Animal Assistance Association discovered people spying on them during the past two nights, and it was that Raven who detected the observers. The observers' identities, if nothing unexpected, are from Iron Anchor Shipping Company and Thug Prison."
Yu Yuan came to the whiteboard, continuously writing and drawing.
"With the Raven's appearance, the intelligence I provided to Thug Prison has been verified."
"Carmen said that Black Shield Police Department also entered combat readiness status starting yesterday, obviously they've detected something too."
"And 'Blood Raven' is no simple matter either! Carmen spent a large amount of resources to get information about Blood Raven's organizational structure and base locations from scavengers in South City, but that group of unidentified individuals still can't be traced."
Yu Yuan finally drew a large circle around Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
If their suspicion of Aurora Animal Assistance Association was previously just speculation.
Then with the electronic tracker signal flashing briefly at Johnck Zoo two days ago.
Plus the appearance of the mutated Raven, it undoubtedly confirmed Aurora Animal Assistance Association's suspicion of stealing the beach container.
Iron Anchor Shipping Company might even suspect that the strange fish that attacked them before was also Aurora Animal Assistance Association's doing.
These past few days, Yu Yuan's tactic - 【Diverting Disaster Eastward】, had been flickering with faint light, never stopping.
And Aurora Animal Assistance Association truly lived up to being an organization conducting biological experiments.
That Raven actually survived taking a direct hit from a flashbang and two F1 grenades, and could still fly again.
This treatment method made Yu Yuan understand that when facing Aurora Animal Assistance Association's mutated creatures later, he must kill them directly, and even completely destroy their vital organs.
Only this way might possibly thoroughly kill those mutated creatures.
6 AM on the twenty-first day in the wasteland.
Yu Yuan arrived punctually at the Magazine Display Stand to check today's newspaper.
Two newspapers and one earth-yellow card made Yu Yuan feel quite pleased.
First, he spent 500 survival points to acquire the card.
【Intelligence Card - Tactics Card】
Quality: Pebble-tier
Function: Using this card can reveal enemy tactical arrangements and increase the success rate of one's own tactics.
"Good stuff!"
Yu Yuan's hand gripping the card tightened slightly.
The card effect was quite practical; with this card, he felt more confident about his subsequent plans.
As the card entered the Book of Fate, he now possessed 3 intelligence cards.
The day before yesterday, he had also obtained a Bronze-level 【Thought Tide Card - Freedom from Fear】.
His gaze turned to today's newspaper.
The first one was actually gossip news.
【The Untold Secrets of Black Shield Police Department Commander Loris - Zhuo Yun's Tracking Records】
Quality: Bronze
Danger Level: Medium
According to revelations by legendary paparazzi journalist Zhuo Yun, Black Shield Police Department Commander Loris might not be as honorable behind the scenes as he appears?
Investigations reveal that Loris has developed rebellious intentions toward Black Shield Police Department Chief Hogg, with the mastermind being Aurora Animal Assistance Association's Preacher Miller.
Miller, as a newly promoted preacher, is ambitious and has actually set his sights on Aurora Animal Assistance Association's peripheral force - Black Shield Police Department.
Black Shield Police Department Chief Hogg's true identity is as a student of one of Aurora Animal Assistance Association's preachers 【Green Robe】, and over a decade ago, he was arranged to infiltrate Green Forest City's police system.
He was also among the first batch of members to undergo human modification experiments, deeply valued by the organization.
For Miller to seize control of Black Shield Police Department, cultivating his own personnel is key.
After observation and selection, he targeted Loris.
Because he discovered that Loris was already secretly investigating Hogg's situation and had detected abnormalities with Nightingale Lilith.
Later, Miller used the R-series genetic modification serum to successfully tempt and control Loris.
He promised Loris that he would eliminate Hogg and recommend him for the chief position.
And Loris successfully received the modification serum injection, obtaining superhuman power, suspected to be related to super recovery, healing, and regeneration abilities.
With his enhanced strength, Loris began buying loyalty and eliminating unstable threats, while continuously expanding his influence.
Preparing for his power grab.
Especially when he personally eliminated the attackers from Thug Prison and Burning Fortress earlier, bringing Black Shield Police Department its first victory in half a month.
His prestige among Enforcers and thug groups had already threatened Commander Lao Ke's position.
Regarding this, both Commander Lao Ke and Chief Hogg had also taken notice.
What path will Loris take from here?
We'll wait and see!

Yu Yuan looked at the gossip news in his hand, his heart shaken.
"Loris... superhuman power."
