Chapter 35: Chapter 29 Case Analysis
The Drone Upgrade this time brought about earth-shattering changes to Yan Fei’s strength. His drone had truly be a fighter jet, and his own power had also seen a tremendous increase.
It was at this time that he fully let go of his worries about the organization behind Zhang Baocheng, as he finally possessed the capability to protect himself. Even the most formidable foes would have to kneel down and surrender when faced with his drone’s anti-tank missiles and 30 millimeter naval cannon attacks.
While Yan Fei was analyzing the Drone Data, the loud noises from the garbagendfill finally caught the attention of the on-duty workers. Several of them had already left the building, driving towards this location.
With the Quantum Radar, Yan Fei immediately detected thendfill workers approaching, so he abandoned his research on the drone and quickly left thendfill. He found his minivan parked nearby and left the area.
Meanwhile, Yan Fei also transferred his consciousness to the Drone Avatar and began to remotely pilot it using the Auxiliary Brain. With the help of the Auxiliary Brain, the drone took off smoothly.
Thanks to the precise control of the Intelligent Brain, Yan Fei’s mental effort was greatly relieved. With just a thought, he could direct the drone’s flight, which was nothing like before when he had to concentrate fully. This allowed him to performplex maneuvers with the drone while his body was free to do other things.
As Yan Fei familiarized himself with how to control the drone, he drove away from the garbagendfill.
After the drone became a fighter jet, its size became toorge for Yan Fei’s home to amodate any longer, but he had already thought of a temporary parking location, the same canyon beneath the cliff where he had taken out Xiao Long, the expert from the Mysterious Organization. It was very remote with no signal and rarely visited by people. Even if Zhang Baocheng’s men returned to collect Xiao Long’s body, they wouldn’t revisit that ce.
Now the Drone Body was sorge, Yan Fei no longer dared to let it fly at high altitudes, but only skimming above the ground. Fortunately, with the Auxiliary Brain and the brand-new Quantum Radar, Yan Fei could precisely understand the Terrain and control the drone to fly just above the treetops.
Only by flying at such altitudes could he avoid detection by the army’s radars. Although Yan Fei’s drone was impressive, itcked a stealth feature, and its appearance clearly resembled the “Predator Drone” of the US Army. So, if it were detected by Domestic military radars, they would definitely shoot it down immediately. Flying close to the ground allowed for evasion of radar detection by taking advantage of radar blind spots.
Luckily, the Control Distance of the drone had increased to five thousand kilometers, allowing Yan Fei to control it over Ultra-long distances, so he didn’t have to personally travel to the canyon. He drove slowly home, while the Drone Avatar flew at a very low altitude toward the canyon.
The Auxiliary Brain, with its extremely powerful functions, utilized the Quantum Radar to map out Terrains within a Five hundred kilometer radius during the drone’s flight. This real-time map would then be saved in the Intelligent Brain’s Database for future navigation.
However, once the Quantum Radar was set to the maximum scanning distance in all directions, the Energy Points of the drone started to decrease rapidly, which rmed Yan Fei. So afterpleting the environmental scan, he quickly reduced the scanning distance of the Quantum Radar to within a hundred meters, bringing the Energy consumption to a level he could afford.
The drone flew swiftly, adeptly avoiding all obstacles. In just five minutes, the Drone Avatar arrived at the canyon. Under the control of the Auxiliary Brain, the Drone Avatar descended vertically and quickly came to a stop at the bottom of the canyon.
Although the bottom of the canyon was uneven and charred, it was not a problem for the drone, which was capable of vertical takeoffs andndings.
While the drone was sessfully concealed for the moment, leaving it there was not a long-term solution. With so many satellites in orbit above the Earth, it was possible that one might suddenly detect the drone hidden in the valley. Therefore, finding a securending spot for the drone to ensure it remained undiscovered was Yan Fei’s top priority.
Back home, Yan Fei’s excitement slowly subsided, and after the drone’s Upgrade, he felt his power had been turned upside down. Now he finally had the ability to defend himself. However, he didn’t start training that evening to familiarize himself with his newly acquired powers but went straight to sleep instead.
The next morning, Yan Fei’s appetite had surged again. After eating, he began to practice Kung Fu in the training room, hoping to quickly master his newfound powers. His Strength had doubled on top of its original base and was now eight times what it had been before the transformation. Correspondingly, his body had been tempered to near perfection, edging closer to Acquired Greatness.
Following the transformation, Yan Fei’s body underwent some amazing changes. As for what those changes were, he would need to discover them during his future practices. However, he believed that without relying on the drone, if he encountered Xiao Kong and Xiao Long again, he might not be able to defeat them but at the very least he could escape safely.
While Yan Fei was bing familiar with his own strength, the city area of Shanghai had already been thrown into chaos, naturally because of Yan Fei’s violent attacks from yesterday and the night before.
Since the Marquis’s men had suffered too many injuries, news simply couldn’t be contained, and after Yan Fei’s second attack also injured the doctors at the unlicensed clinics, the Marquis had no choice but to send his injured men to hospitals for treatment. Once this group was admitted to the hospitals, the Police Department quickly received the news, and thus the drone’s attacks were finally exposed.
But just when everyone had yet to react, the loansharkpanies were also attacked on the following night, causing the number of victims to rise again. The Police Department, having received the reports, was investigating the scene when news of theplete annihtion of the Pyramid Scheme Organization’s core members spread. Within just two short days in Shanghai, more than a thousand people had been maliciously attacked, which had already caused social panic and was considered a major case. Therefore, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau immediately took action, beginning an investigation of the entire incident.
By this time, whether it was the Marquis’s gang, the loansharking gang, or the Pyramid Scheme Organization, none dared to conceal the slightest bit of information, honestly recounting to the police the detailed course of events. The loansharkpanies and Pyramid Scheme Organizations even provided the Police Department with footage of the attacks from their own Surveince Cameras. However, when the police asked them why they were attacked, they uniformly imed to not know the reason for being targeted.
In the meeting room of the Criminal Investigation Team at the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, all members of the Criminal Investigation Team were holding an analysis meeting about the drone attacks. The team leader, Wei Chao, was sitting at the podium, listening to the situation reports from his subordinates.
A female technician named Liu Min was exining the case using a projector.
“ording to thetest statistics, the total number of victims attacked by drones is ***. All these injuries were caused by steel ball bullets, primarily pration wounds, with all injury sites below the knee. Most injuries are minor, with a few bone fractures, but there were no serious casualties.”
As Liu Min exined, photographs of the bullet wounds appeared on the projector screen. But because there were far too many injured individuals to disy all on screen, they had only selected a few representative photos to show.
Wei Chao frowned as he looked at these photos, then jotted down a few figures in his notebook and asked, “What about other intelligence?”
An experienced detective named Wang Dong immediately stood up and said, “After analyzing the victims’ statements and the Surveince Camera footage they provided, we also retrieved some surveince videos from the vicinity of the crime scenes, and we have identified a suspect drone. Here’s a picture of it.”
A clear photo of the drone flying close to a building was erged onto the big screen by Wang Dong, with a few more pictures of the drone nearby, though these were a bit blurry and not as clear as the first one. Despite theck of rity, it was clear that the drones in these images were the same one.
Wang Dong exined, “Based on our investigation, this drone’s appearance bears some resemnce to a drone model produced by Dakong Company known as the EQ-2B.”
As Wang Dong presented, an image of Dakong Company’s drone model named EQ-2B was projected onto the big screen forparison with the suspicious drone.
Wang Dong continued his presentation, “You canpare for yourselves – while the two drones seem simr, this drone involved in the attacks differs significantly in detail from the Dakong drone. We have contacted Dakong Company, and they have confirmed that the drone is not one they produced. Moreover, they have not seen a simr drone on the market. So, we can be certain that the drone used in the attacks has never appeared on the market, meaning it has either been modified by someone or produced by an entity unknown to us.”
Wei Chao asked, “What about the steel ball bullets that injured people, have you figured out their origin?”
Pictures of the steel ball bullets appeared on the projector, but the bullets were severely deformed and their original shapes were indiscernible.
Liu Min stood up and said, “Afterboratory analysis, it was found that these steel ball bullets do not have any distinguishing features in their raw materials. This means that anyone could purchase ordinary steel materials from the market and have any workshop manufacture these steel ball bullets.”
Wei Chao said, dissatisfied, “So you’re saying that with the drone and the steel ball bullets it used, it’s impossible to identify the criminal’s identity?”
