Chapter 355: The Crow Drinks Water
Guan Peng and the others looked puzzled. They had indeed read this story before, but why was Red Ghost mentioning it now?
Luo Yan put his mask back on and said,
“The base is the bottle, Liu Xiao is the water, and we are the crows waiting to drink.”
“What do we do if we can’t reach the water at the bottom of the bottle?”
Wang Tian, with a clever look on his face, raised his hand and said, “Throw a stone into the bottle to make the water rise by itself.”
Luo Yan nodded, “Yes, that’s right.”
After discussing the details of ‘drinking water’ with Guan Peng and the others, Luo Yan returned to his modified camper van.
While organizing his things, he noticed the memory card he had received from Fang Chang.
He took a card reader, inserted the memory card, and checked the information inside.
The memory card contained the practice method of ‘Secret Art: Wind Clean,’ which could enhance explosiveness, agility, and speed, and allow temporary gliding, but it required wind and airflow.
In general, this secret art could hardly enhance immediate combat power, except for the brief gliding effect, which overlapped with ‘Open Spiritual Wheel.’
For Luo Yan, it was quite redundant, but he still learned it, as one can never have too many skills, and you never know when you might need it.
Moreover, these redundant secret arts could be used as rewards and distributed to the team members in the future.
They were not completely useless.
After learning the secret method, Luo Yan started practicing. Unfortunately, he ran out of ‘Elemental Cultivation Potion’, so his progress was slow.
But then Luo Yan remembered that he still had unused contribution points at the Giant Beast Strategy Manor.
He had earned these contribution points during the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ incident. After solving the matter with Liu Xiao, he could exchange them at the Strategy Manor.
It was uncertain how many contribution points a ‘Elemental Cultivation Potion’ would cost, but judging by its effectiveness, it would probably be expensive.
Luo Yan clenched his teeth.
Despite the cost, he knew he had to do it. He had to improve his status and authority in the Heiwu organization while also aiming to reach the Mystery Achieving Realm as soon as possible.
After all, no one knew when the blood poison would strike.
This sense of urgency kept Luo Yan on high alert.
The next day arrived.
Yu Qiushui kept her promise.
One advanced mecha rented to Luo Yan, along with two Mystical Mecha for support, all equipped with Mecha Master.
In addition, there is a secret weapon that Luo Yan bought from Yu Qiushui at a high cost.
Next.
Luo Yan tried to connect with the mecha and it went smoothly. He could control the mecha without needing wireless resonance.
Luo Yan used to pilot a basic mecha like ‘White Dragon’, but now he’s piloting a more advanced one and he feels a bit uncomfortable.
Even though it’s an advanced mecha, it’s still a step lower in terms of armor material, Supercore Matrix, and piloting system compared to the mechas from the underground city army.
That’s why Luo Yan, who was used to piloting the ‘White Dragon’, has to adjust to piloting this new mecha.
It’s like driving a sports car and then switching to a regular car – the pilot will feel a bit awkward.
Luo Yan spent two whole days getting adjusted and learning the basics of mecha performance, so that no accidents would happen in real combat.
Over the past three days, Liu Xiao indeed did not leave the base, confirming Luo Yan’s thoughts.
The fourth day.
‘The Crow Drinks Water’ plan began to be implemented.
A convoy was heading towards Silver Bay Base.
More precisely, this was a merchant caravan.
The caravans at Silver Bay Base were not all illegal, there were also some merchants operating to buy and sell goods.
Just like the one now.
The caravan consisted of two supply vehicles and over ten escort vehicles.
On the guard vehicle, fully armed soldiers look around vigilantly, even as they approach the base, they dare not relax.
At that moment, several guard vehicles driving ahead suddenly had their tires burst, cars quickly lost balance and overturned.
The convoy quickly stopped, then someone in front shouted, “Be careful, there are road spikes, possibly bandits ahead.”
Before the voice fell, a whistling sound came, shadows flew in a parabolic trajectory and landed among the convoy, instantly releasing thick smoke.
The smoke carried a pungent, irritating sensation, causing tears and runny noses if accidentally inhaled.
These are tear gas grenades!
The convoy’s hired guards were quite experienced, at the first sign of trouble, they put on gas masks.
The gas masks could shield against the tear gas attacks, but being in thick fog still obstructed their vision.
At that moment, a loud voice rang out, “Listen up, convoy ahead, Liu Xiao Uncle Liu has taken a liking to your goods. Those with sense, drop your weapons and surrender immediately, or else, be prepared for a bloodbath.”
This seems like a recorded broadcast playing on repeat.
At the same time, shadows quickly rushed into the thick fog, attacking the guards of the caravans, and quickly knocking them down.
5 minutes later, two trucks filled with goods were driven away by someone.
The boss of the caravan was stripped naked and thrown on the ground. When the guards brought clothes for him to wear, the boss was so angry that his lips turned blue and his body trembled.
“This is too much, this is too much!”
“Does he, Liu Xiao, dare to openly rob the road openly?”
“Is there no more justice!”
“Come, follow me to find the base and discuss!”
“I want to see how long Silver Bay Base will shelter that person surname Liu!”

Silver Bay Base.
When the sun was up, Liu Xiao woke up, pushed away the woman wrapped around him like an octopus, and got dressed.
Just as he arrived at the downstairs restaurant to have a meal, he heard a commotion outside, followed by the angry shouting of his friend Yu Bai.
Curious, Liu Xiao went to the living room, where he saw the door had been pushed open, and Yu Bai and several teammates were facing off against some people who had barged in.
Among the intruders were the captain of the enforcement team, Ye Yu, his frequent companion Fatty Wang, and several enforcement team members.
There was also a wealthy middle-aged man and a warrior who clearly looked like a mercenary.
“What’s going on?” Liu Xiao shrugged, “Everyone, what happened?”
The wealthy middle-aged man immediately pointed at Liu Xiao and shouted, “Stop pretending to be clueless, hey, quickly tell me, where did you hide my goods!”
Liu Xiao looked puzzled, “What goods? I don’t even know who you are.”
Law enforcement captain Ye Yu moved his hand, and plump Wang Jingyao came out with a smile on his face.
“This is Mr. Cheng Fengchun Cheng, whose trading caravan was robbed near our base.”
“Oddly enough, the robbers claimed to be instructed by Uncle Liu here.”
“Mr. Cheng also found it strange and sought out our law enforcement team.”
“We, Captain Ye Yu, believe there must be some misunderstanding, so we brought Mr. Cheng here to hear what you have to say, Uncle Liu.”
Liu Xiao frowned, “This is clearly a false accusation. A rabbit doesn’t eat where it sleeps. Even if I, Liu Xiao, had thoughts of robbery, I wouldn’t be dumb enough to act near the base.”
He said, “Oh, I see, this must be the doing of my enemy.”
“Maybe it was Red Ghost.”
“Captain Ye Yu, it’s so simple to shift the blame, you should have figured it out earlier, right?”
