If he did not have a spirit magnet, Meng Chao would have been able to remove the word “almost.”

Based on Dragon City’s current level of technology, this was a perfect crystal bomb that could not be dismantled.

Even though Meng Chao had a spirit magnet made of intelligent nanomachines that could be remolded into various shapes at will on the molecular level, he still needed to burn his brain cells to the limit, treading on thin ice and trembling in fear. Only then would he be able to find a solution.

“No, it’s impossible to dismantle it directly. If the detonator is removed simply and brutally, the crystal bomb will activate and explode in an instant.

“I must create a fake detonator to replace the real detonator’s function the moment it is removed.

!!

“Then again, the two detonators must be duplicated on the molecular level. Both of them are real. However, one of them is under my control. It’s the only way I can fool the d*mn crystal bomb.

“While I’m replacing them, I should also be very careful with the nanowire wires that are dozens of times thinner than spider webs. I mustn’t touch them at all…”

The gold rings around Meng Chao’s pupils were expanding and shrinking.

They were like super high-resolution cameras that were adjusting to get the best observation distance, angle, and amount of light.

The spirit magnets that flowed out of his ten fingers kept splitting, winding, and rea.s.sembling.

Sometimes, they formed small snakes that were either bright silver or translucent, and other times they formed strands of s.h.i.+ny metal threads that were thinner than spider silk.

There were even several thousand strands of metal threads that wound together to form the components of the crystal bomb.

As long as there was even a one percent difference between his components and the real components, Meng Chao would not hesitate to break them up and rea.s.semble them again.

At the same time, more spirit magnets extended along the fuel pipeline like a meandering stream.

The spirit magnets could form sharp blades that could cut iron like mud at any time. They could cut the fuel pipeline in an instant, ensuring that the violent explosion would only occur in the core cabin and not affect the surrounding cabins or even the entire floating fortress.

As for Meng Chao himself, he was prepared to use the simplest and most brutal method to minimize loss.

He had prepared two plans.

Under ideal conditions, it would be best if he could remove the parasitic tumor on the Golden Roc without alerting Yun Feidian.

In a worst-case scenario, Yun Feidian would detonate the crystal bomb in advance. Then, as a Deity Realm expert, Meng Chao would have a few seconds before the high-energy substance in the depths of the bomb had the most violent reaction.

Meng Chao planned to use those few seconds to cut off the connection system between the core cabin and the external cabin, including the fuel pipeline, the air corridor, and the cargo pa.s.sage.

At the same time, he would destroy the deck above the super crystal bomb and the outer sh.e.l.l of the cabin, creating a vertical hole.

Then, he would swing his big foot and kick the super crystal bomb that was about to detonate into the air through the hole.

The reason why he chose to kick it up instead of down was that dozens of giant airbags were hanging above the core cabin.

For combat purposes, the airbags were designed with multiple compartments and filled with inert gas. It was difficult for the entire airbags, including the skin, to burn or even explode.

When the explosion occurred, the enormous airbags would be the best s.h.i.+elds.

As long as the crystal bomb did not explode inside the air fortress and Meng Chao could wrap a thick buffer layer around the crystal bomb with his spirit energy, he believed that the explosion would be reduced to one-tenth of its original power.

Of course, one-tenth of the explosion’s power would not completely destroy the Golden Roc.

But even Meng Chao was not sure.

“I hope that I brought back enough good luck from Picturesque Orchid Lake,” hemumbled to himself.

He then threw himself into the intense bomb-defusing work.

However, there was one more thing, one thing that was no less important than defusing a super crystal bomb.

That was rescuing Lu Siya.

At that moment, Lu Siya was standing two decks away.

With thousands of spirit magnets, an intricate external neural network was formed. Meng Chao scanned the area where Lu Siya was.

Not only did he find a lot of electronic equipment and rune machines there, he also sensed that it was possibly the Golden Roc’s surveillance center.

He also sensed that seven people were standing around Lu Siya, producing seven distinct breaths and heartbeats.

Despite that, they did not seem to be Yun Feidian’s subordinates.

At least, they were not the most elite subordinate—the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins who had kidnapped Lu Siya and brought her there.

“Their breathing is rapid, their steps are erratic, and their heartbeats are sometimes fast and sometimes slow. They don’t look seem like experts who can control their own strength precisely. They look seem more like the ignorant engineers and builders on the Golden Roc. In short, they’re a bunch of scapegoats.

“As for the Ghost a.s.sa.s.sins, they have all been evacuated to the Golden Roc’s outermost cabin, which is the farthest away from the core cabin.

“This is so weird. Yun Feidian took so much effort to kidnap Lu Siya, but he locked her up with a bunch of scapegoats. Why is that?”

Meng Chao thought about it quickly. He soon remembered the maintenance workers who were stuffed with implants and receivers in the car repair shop on the outskirts of Dragon City. Yun Feidian had treated them as puppets.

“That’s right. These guys are not only scapegoats, but they’re also puppets in Yun Feidian’s hands. They are his long-range control p.a.w.ns!”

Meng Chao set aside 30% of his perception and carried out a full-scale inspection on the Golden Roc’s surveillance center.

Since Yun Feidian had already evacuated all of his capable generals from the core cabin, the few remaining soldiers would not be able to detect Meng Chao’s presence.

He heard two puppets walking forward mechanically and opening the metal box that was holding Lu Siya.

Lu Siya, who was still tied up, rolled out of the metal box.

She had been injected with a large amount of tranquilizers and anesthetics.

However, with her amazing willpower, she managed to stay awake during the b.u.mpy journey. She glared at Meng Chao with eyes that were as bright as crystals.

Meng Chao could hear the cracking sounds from Lu Siya’s bones.

He could also hear her blood flowing and surging around her body like a flood.

He could also hear her heart roaring powerfully like an overloaded crystal engine.

Gritting her teeth, she tried to break free from the shackles on her body.

Even if the single-molecule nanowire was deeply embedded in her flesh and blood, almost cutting off her bones, she would not hesitate

Soon after, Meng Chao heard an applause.

The seven puppets controlled by Yun Feidian raised their arms straight concurrently and clapped their hands mechanically.
