After purchasing some of the most basic components in bulk, which were enough for him to make a dozen or so bugs, trackers, and alarms, Li Yao went to the construction materials and hardware market not far away.
Although he told Daniel Zhang that he was going to purchase weapons, he did not intend to buy regulated knives, nor did he intend to risk universal condemnation by purchasing firearms.
First of all, he did not have the relevant channels to find regulated knives or firearms. Although with his current ability and computational ability, it was not difficult for him to find the so-called "underground black market" through clues, how could he solve the problem of transportation and usage?
In most countries in the world, firearms were still very sensitive things. Whether they were in possession or in use, they would cause endless trouble.
Whether it was the mysterious "Ark Foundation" or the even more mysterious "Apocalypse", they both involved enormous resources and power. Even if Li Yao could arm himself to the teeth and carry three to five heavy cannons, it would not be enough to compete with them.
Against superhumans, firearms were simply useless.
On the other hand, as long as he could further stimulate the "Cultivation Force" in his body, even if it was an ordinary tool that would not arouse suspicion, it would still be more lethal than a bullet.
Li Yao purchased a batch of nails of different lengths and sizes from the construction materials and hardware market. They were as heavy as bullets.
He also bought an imported special toolbox. The screwdrivers and other tools inside were no worse than military daggers under the control of his amazing strength.
The most important thing was that these things were not afraid of inspection at all. Although he might not be able to send them on a train or a plane, he could put them in the trunk of his car. In case he encountered a checkpoint, it would not cause any trouble.
After thinking for a while, Li Yao purchased a few strong work clothes, work gloves, and rubber boots for himself and the author. In the strange dream, most of the techniques were released in the form of "fireballs" or "electric arcs". The heat insulating clothes, insulating clothes, and rubber boots could minimize the damage to the maximum.
Then, Li Yao bought a few electrician's vests, the kind that had a lot of pockets. He also bought a few very sturdy leather belts, which could be used to hang screwdrivers of all sizes and leather bags full of nails. The pockets all over his body could also store a lot of high-energy food, which would help him recover between battles and ensure his ability to fight continuously.
Finally, Li Yao bought two very large canvas bags and stuffed everything in. He left the construction materials and hardware market. According to the introduction of a famous sports forum, he went to a very famous outdoor sports club in Jiangnan City and purchased a large number of energy bars and energy glue.
Energy bars were compressed from various kinds of nuts, chocolate, and high-energy substances. At the same volume, they contained several times more calories than military compressed biscuits. Energy glue was an indispensable sports supplement for high-energy sports such as marathons and triathlons. A small tube could let an athlete continue burning for half an hour to an hour under extreme fatigue. Although expensive, it was the best choice for Li Yao in the situation where he did not have the "nutrition drinks" and "strengthening drugs" in "40,000 Years of Cultivation".
The energy bars and the energy glue alone cost more than ten thousand yuan, but Li Yao didn't even blink. It was to save the Earth, so he had to spend whatever he needed. There was never the word "stingy" in his dictionary.
After purchasing everything, Li Yao changed buses three times and went to an industrial area in the northern suburbs of Jiangnan City.
It used to be a very famous heavy industrial area in Jiangnan City, where there was a large-scale steel smelting base. However, as Jiangnan City established the development concept of "financial city, real estate strong city", the industrial area in the northern suburbs declined. Now, the steel mills, affiliated processing plants, and other heavy industry enterprises had all moved or closed down, leaving only empty factories and intricate maze-like pipes waiting for demolition and auction.
Li Yao had seen this place in the news and was deeply impressed by its dilapidated and destitute state.
This was the most suitable place for him to practice.
Although there were several old gatekeepers and security guards patrolling the abandoned steel factory, such a large factory was like a small town. It was impossible to manage. These days, scrap copper and iron were worthless, so very few people came here to steal things. They simply gathered in the reception room to play cards. Li Yao was like a transparent leaf, silently floating into the abandoned steel factory. No one noticed him.
Coming to the depths of the steel factory, Li Yao found an area with many pipes and blast furnaces. He spread his perception to the limit to make sure that no one was following and monitoring him. He put on rubber boots, an insulating suit, and an electrician's vest, and stuffed his pockets full of iron nails and energy glue.
First, he bounced on the flat ground, perceiving the effects of the heavy load on his body. After he finished warming up, he slightly squatted and sprinted forward a few steps. His legs exerted force, and the cells in his body burst with "pop pop pop pop pop" sounds. His whole body soared into the air, rushing toward a pipe that was five to six meters in the air.
Seeing that he was still more than half a meter away from the pipe, the momentum of his flight had been exhausted, and he was about to fall, Li Yao swung his right arm without thinking. With only one index finger, he hooked a nail cap at the joint of the pipe.
"Huchi, huchi, huchi …"
Li Yao swayed in midair as he took in a deep breath of the smell of rust that filled the air. Familiar memories flooded his mind like thick ink. The smell reminded him of the magical equipment graveyard from a long time ago, where there was the same pungent smell of rust in the depths of the garbage.
"This is me."
Li Yao said to himself, "This is the real me!"
As far as the eye could see, his eyes seemed to have turned into X-ray machines. Everything that his eyes could see was transparent and clear. The entire abandoned steel factory had turned into a three-dimensional structural map. He could easily identify the most vulnerable points to break into and the pipes that were suitable for him to crawl through.
He could even hear the laughter of the security guards and the gatekeepers at the periphery of the abandoned steel factory, as well as the footsteps and splashes of a security guard coming out to pee.
With a vague smile on his face, Li Yao sent out an indescribable strength from the bulging veins all over his body to his index finger that was supporting his body.
He hooked his index finger and stretched his arm. He swung more than ten meters away and jumped to another pipe.
"This is so easy and carefree. It's even more natural than walking and running!"
Li Yao was like a big monkey. He jumped up and down between the pipes, the steel structure, and the blast furnace, performing thrilling movements that even extreme athletes could not do. Sometimes, he crossed a distance of thirty to fifty meters and landed lightly from the blast furnace. Sometimes, he swung through extremely dangerous angles with the strength of one or two fingers. Sometimes, he even hung himself upside down in the air with the strength of his toes.
In the end, he crossed his hands and wiped his leather belt. Two screwdrivers appeared between his fingers.
"Xiu! Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu! "
The screwdrivers were like real military daggers. They tore through the air, leaving gray afterimages.
At first, Li Yao's movements were very clumsy, as if he had never learned close combat. When he swung the knives, they were filled with unnecessary redundancy and cumbersome. He did not even know how to control his own strength. His body swayed greatly, and there were several times when he almost fell from the pipes.
Soon, he tried to reduce the unnecessary movements and strength. While practicing, he recalled. He was like a viper that was slowly waking up from hibernation and regaining his deadly aggressiveness.
"Hiss! Hiss hiss hiss hiss! "
His fingers really made a sound like a viper's hiss. It was a sign that the screwdriver was about to break through the speed of sound.
Li Yao felt that he could increase his speed by 30%, but there was no need to try it here. It was not easy to find a suitable place to practice. It would be bad if the security guards came.
Next, it was time to practice absolute strength and speed, as well as long-range weapons.
Li Yao found an abandoned factory and found a bundle of steel bars that had not been moved away in time.
These steel bars that had not been finalized may not be as strong and hard as the qualified ones, but they were good for testing strength.
Li Yao easily bent one, two, and three steel bars. With a little effort, he bent four, five, and six steel bars that were tied together.
It was not until he tied together nine finger-thick steel bars that he reached the limit of his strength. His arms seemed to be corroded by venom, and his shoulder blades seemed to be roasted by flames. He could not bend or break them. He had exhausted the physical strength that he had just condensed.
This was good.
Li Yao took out an energy bar and energy gel and began to test his recovery speed. He accurately calculated the rhythm that he should maintain during a battle and the possibility of his combat strength recovering.
"This is the limit of my strength for now. There is no need to look too much into this. No matter how strong an individual is, there is a limit. I can't fight recklessly with the opponent."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the factory that was more than ten to twenty meters tall. Without any warning, he accelerated, sprinted, and jumped. His whole body moved in a 360 degree manner, leaving insignificant marks on the surrounding walls and the steel beams above his head.
"What an inhuman movement. If I use my full strength, I can even dodge bullets."
Li Yao hung upside down on the steel beam and took out three nails of different lengths from his belt.
He was not in a hurry to fire them. Instead, he held the nails in his palm and placed them vertically and horizontally on his fingertips. He sensed the weight, center of gravity, material, and shape of the nails. He calculated the rotation, deviation, and fall of the nails when they broke through the air, as well as the perfect movement pattern of every muscle fiber and every bone in his arm.
Although he had not made a move yet, he had thrown the nails out thirty to fifty times in his mind. Three to five hundred times, three to five thousand times. He calculated and corrected them again and again, and countless data collided in his brain cells.
"Found it."
