CHAPTER 29: CHAPTER 29: CRUISE UNMANNED FIREPOWER FLYING DISC

"Over there..." Jiang Yiyi hurriedly pointed the way.

Although it’s already deep night, the stars are plentiful, making it easy to see the surroundings. Besides, the Power Armor is equipped with radar, so there’s no worry about not seeing the ground beneath.

The first location was surprisingly just twenty meters away from them, where a flying disc had previously been thrown by a monster, smashing a huge boulder.

However, when Yang Yuan arrived at the site, he found nothing but a pile of scrap metal.

"No wonder the military didn’t summon it back. Like this, the military probably doesn’t even bother spending time slowly locating it," Zhao Jiayan said. "Should we continue searching?"

"Of course we should, to see if we can gather enough parts to assemble a complete one."

Despite his disappointment, Yang Yuan continued to let Jiang Yiyi lead the way to the second one.

"Big brother, that Yang Yuan is looking for the crashed Firepower Flying Disc," said San Zhen of the Da Zhen trio from afar.

They awakened much earlier and were far more knowledgeable than Yang Yuan and his team, knowing quite well the power of such a disc.

Though these discs disregard aerodynamics, they fly powerfully like bricks, comparable to ordinary fighter jets from the Earth era, with maximum speeds close to the speed of sound. Unfortunately, they consume too much ammunition, and maintenance is extremely costly, so no one buys them.

But they’re indeed mighty; the small custom shells are launched from railgun-like barrels, possessing tremendous piercing power along with explosive damage.

They were developed after Earth’s fusion with this world, a black tech product possessing an Anti-gravity System.

"The military couldn’t recall it, meaning it’s completely scrapped. Why bother scavenging that junk?"

Da Zhen was unmoved, unaware when the main troops would stop, and was reluctant to lug such heavy items for material exchange.

"That’s true. Let’s catch up quickly, ignore that guy. If he gets himself killed, it saves us the trouble of personally retaliating, embarrassing him in return; our Da Zhen trio holds grudges!"

The trio swiftly left, heading toward the main troops.

Meanwhile, Yang Yuan had already found the second crashed flying disc.

He was fortunate this time, as the second disc was twisted and deformed but still highly intact.

Though the number of intact internal parts remained uncertain.

"This thing... is a bit big!"

Yang Yuan exclaimed in shock.

From afar, it didn’t seem impressive—

But up close, he realized the thing had a two-meter diameter and was at least thirty centimeters thick.

It’s a perfectly circular shape, yet how it flies remains unknown.

"Is it military black tech?"

Yang Yuan observed closely and noticed the disc’s edges were lined with black gun barrels, with barrels on both top and bottom, covering a full 360-degree attack range and the entire underside.

"Yiyi, you go by yourself; I’ll carry this thing over."

He set Jiang Yiyi down and used all his strength along with the Power Armor’s load-bearing power to move the deformed disc back to the pile of scrap metal.

Perhaps due to exhausted ammunition or lightweight materials, the disc looked big but was only about a hundred kilograms.

"Jiayan, find a relatively flat area."

"The place we were just at was quite flat."

"Really? Then let’s go there."

Yang Yuan carried the deformed disc back to their previous observation spot, set it down, and had Jiang Yiyi guide the way again.

It took over an hour to carry back the remaining six discs.

Unfortunately, excluding the second one that was merely twisted, the six others were terribly damaged, with unknown intact parts inside.

"Yang Yuan, do you plan to piece together a complete disc using the parts?" Zhao Jiayan guessed Yang Yuan’s intention, "If you want a complete disc, perhaps I can help."

"How can you help?"

Yang Yuan asked, his eyes widening, "Are you talking about your ability?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Jiayan smiled, "My ability, ’One Short of Ten,’ can patch up what’s incomplete; since this disc is currently incomplete, I might be able to make it whole."

"Can the missing parts be conjured out of thin air?" Yang Yuan asked in shock.

Zhao Jiayan: "I haven’t tried, but I feel it should be possible."

"Then quickly try, yes use the one with the highest intactness to save some effort." Yang Yuan pointed at the mostly intact deformed disc.

"Alright. You keep watch, I need to focus when using my ability."

Zhao Jiayan squatted down, placed his palm on the disc, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes.

Soon, under Yang Yuan and Jiang Yiyi’s gaze, the two-meter diameter deformed disc began to emit a faint glow.

Initially, nothing happened, but half a minute later, beams of light flew from all directions.

These lights quickly merged into the deformed disc, slowly restoring it automatically.

It felt as if something external was mending the damaged disc, causing Yang Yuan to marvel silently.

"Rule System..."

He muttered, feeling this system’s abilities were too bizarre and miraculous.

As time passed, sweat formed on Zhao Jiayan’s forehead, and his complexion turned pale.

"Are you alright? Do you need a break?" Yang Yuan asked worriedly.

"I can’t rest; otherwise, the effort will go to waste." Zhao Jiayan gritted his teeth in perseverance.

Yang Yuan hesitated but patiently waited, keeping an eye on Zhao Jiayan’s condition to prevent him from injuring himself over a possibly useless disc.

Finally, half an hour later, the disc was fully restored, becoming a perfectly shaped circle as if fresh from the factory.

Zhao Jiayan withdrew his hand, opened his eyes wearily, "I’m so tired, I want to sleep."

"Then rest, I’ll set up the Safe House."

Yang Yuan promptly placed the portable Safe House case in a relatively flat area, pressing the button on the side.

The case quickly unfolded and expanded like a magic cube, transforming as if 3D modeling into a Safe House they had stayed in before.

"Hurry in and sleep," Yang Yuan said.

"Mhm."

Zhao Jiayan entered his compartment confidently regarding security, falling asleep almost instantly, evidently exhausted.

"Yiyi, are you tired? Can you hold on a bit longer to help big brother dismantle this thing? You need to remember each step, okay?"

Yang Yuan looked at Jiang Yiyi.

"Mhm, Yiyi understands, remember each step."

Jiang Yiyi nodded; her photographic memory persisted, making it easy to do so.

Yang Yuan immediately began exploring the disc while utilizing the Power Armor’s scanning functionality to analyze its structure.

Despite the disc’s screws being concealed, making disassembly nearly impossible for most—

The Power Armor’s scanning ability handles everything effortlessly.

Moreover, the scanning feature prevented screws from possibly falling off.

He wouldn’t dare use the Safe House’s LED lights for illumination, lest he attracts distant monsters.

Facing stone monsters as tall as a mountain ridge, his current handgun probably wouldn’t affect them.

"By the way, can Yiyi sense any danger from the disc?"

Yang Yuan suddenly thought of a problem; what if the military feared the disc’s technology being cracked and set a self-destruct device?

Fortuitously, Jiang Yiyi’s perceptive ability alerted her to any threat, living or not.

Jiang Yiyi shook her head slightly, "No."

"That’s good."

Yang Yuan sighed in relief, preparing to use a short knife to remove screws when the Power Armor suddenly displayed a message:

[Bluetooth signal detected. Connect?]

"Hmm?"

Yang Yuan paused slightly, does the Power Armor have such a function?

Was it originally integrated or appeared after an upgrade?

Right, this thing work for remote control, with no remote, it’s useless even if acquired.

Although startled, the Power Armor capability pleasantly surprised him.

So, he hesitated briefly before choosing to connect.

[Connection successful. This Bluetooth signal belongs to the 1073 Cruise Unmanned Firepower Flying Disc, currently in factory state. You may set its exclusive password. After setting, you’ll become its highest Authority preceptor. The password consists of thirty-eight digits.]

"Hiss..."

Yang Yuan couldn’t help but gasp, awed by Zhao Jiayan’s ability.

"Zhao Jiayan’s capabilities miraculously reverted this thing to its factory state?"
