Chapter 37

A nuclear power plant, also known as a nuclear power station, uses uranium, plutonium, and other materials as nuclear fuel to convert the energy produced by fission reactions into electricity. A nuclear power station consists of three main parts: the nuclear island (primarily the nuclear steam supply system), the conventional island (primarily the turbine generator set), and the supporting facilities of the power plant. The fission energy produced by nuclear fuel in the reactor mainly appears in the form of heat. After being carried and converted by the coolant, it ultimately drives the turbine generator set to produce electricity using steam or gas.

The fuel used in nuclear power plants is uranium. Uranium is a very heavy metal. The nuclear fuel made from uranium undergoes fission in a device called a "reactor," producing a large amount of heat energy. High-pressure water is then used to carry this heat energy to the steam generator, where steam is produced. The steam drives the turbine, which rotates the generator to produce electricity. This electricity is then distributed through the power grid. This is the basic principle of operation for a typical pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant.

This time, Li She's target was the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant. If operating at full capacity, it can generate about 40 million kilowatt-hours of electricity in 24 hours. If converted at a ratio of 1000 to 1, it could produce at least 40,000 energy points. The last time he traveled to the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils," he spent nearly 20,000 energy points for about ten years.

The plane landed smoothly at Baiyun Airport in Guangdong. Daniel, carrying a backpack, left the airport. There were many taxis waiting at the entrance. Li She got into one at random and headed for the White Swan Hotel.

With his foreign appearance and American passport, staying at a high-end hotel was no problem. Li She was led to his room by a bellboy. After giving a ten-dollar tip, he stood by the window, deep in thought.

"After traveling through countless worlds twice, the more I want to achieve, the more I need to enter the plot I know well before it begins. This requires more energy points. The 100,000 energy points I spent last time didn't last long! Another issue is the lifespan. To steal more qi, establishing a power base is essential, but this isn't something that can be done in a year or two. It will take at least ten to twenty years! Oh, if I travel ten times, I'll be an old man when I return!" Li She rubbed his temples, thinking.

Putting these thoughts aside, Li She used a computer to hack into the nuclear power plant's network system. By the next morning, he had obtained the map of the power plant and the information he needed.

He logged into his email and sent the message to the God of Wealth's email address through foreign networks multiple times.

"Three days later, at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant! Cash on delivery."

After receiving the email, the God of Wealth informed Sheng and others.

"The God of Wealth has sent a message. Li She says he will deliver the goods at the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant in three days," Sheng told the group.

"Huh? This kid is quite capable. So many people in the capital couldn't catch him, and now he's in Guangdong? Let's head there now," the Butcher laughed.

Sheng and the others set out for Guangdong that night. Meanwhile, Li She went to the Hang Seng Bank, where he had a safety deposit box under the identity of Daniel. With his foreign appearance, he received preferential treatment. "Hello, I'm here to retrieve my safety deposit box," Li She said in English.

At a Hong Kong-funded bank like Hang Seng, customer service managers are proficient in at least two or three foreign languages. With his foreign appearance and the ability to have a safety deposit box, he was clearly wealthy.

After showing the necessary documents, the customer service manager led Li She to the vault and retrieved the 'Q0107' safety deposit box.

Li She was taken to a special room where he used the key to open the drawer-sized safe. Always prepared, Li She had set up several escape routes, each using different identities. Inside the safety deposit box was an Asian face mask of a man in his forties, along with a Hong Kong passport. The man was a genuine Hong Kong resident with a very common name, Zhang Yabing. There was also $100,000 in cash.

In Hong Kong, even a taxi driver can earn 40,000 to 50,000 HKD a month, while in Zhuhai, just a few hundred meters away, the employment pressure is higher and the cost of living is lower. This makes it easy for many Hong Kong residents to keep a mistress in Zhuhai.

Zhang Yabing was a retail pharmaceutical merchant who frequently traveled between Hong Kong and the mainland. He owned a house and an inconspicuous car in Zhuhai. Li She had prepared all this years ago.

After retrieving the contents of the safety deposit box, Li She set out for the nuclear power plant.

As night fell, Li She infiltrated the power plant along the pre-selected route. With the agility of the "Lingbo Weibu" lightness skill, his stealth skills were even more refined. Ordinary cameras could only capture a fleeting shadow, and high-speed cameras were needed to capture his face.

Like a gecko, he climbed the 60-meter-high chimney using his eagle-claw-like hands without any climbing tools. Li She hid in the chimney duct, waiting for his client.

Why are innate experts not afraid of being ambushed? Because at the innate level, their skills are at their peak, and their reflexes are perfectly coordinated. This is why ordinary techniques in the hands of innate experts can turn the mundane into the extraordinary.

When Wuyazi was ambushed by Duan Chunsheng, his skills had reached the innate level, but even then, he was no match for the will of the world. Under the impact of the world's will, his mind was scattered, and otherwise, how could a peak expert like Duan Chunsheng succeed?

Within a one-kilometer radius, nothing could escape Li She's perception. Closing his eyes, Li She focused on his surroundings, and everything seemed to come to life. The hum of the machines, the heartbeats and footsteps of the workers in the power plant, all had their unique rhythms.

Suddenly, Li She's frowning brow relaxed as he detected seven heartbeats different from those of ordinary people.

"Four people have steady, powerful breathing, with no pause between breaths. Oh? One has slightly chaotic breathing. Is he injured? The other two are quite unusual," Li She thought.

Opening his eyes, Li She murmured, "It seems the client has arrived, and there are quite a few of them!"

Crawling out of the ventilation duct, Li She climbed to the top of the chimney. The night provided the best cover for a thief. From the top of the 60-meter-high chimney, he surveyed the entire power plant, listening to every sound. The cold wind was fierce, but after sensing that only seven people had arrived, Li She, like a gecko, hung upside down, using the "Eagle and Snake Combat" technique to cling to the concrete chimney and quickly descended.

About 7 to 8 meters from the ground, Li She leaped down lightly.

Focusing on the direction of the seven auras, his keen eyesight allowed him to see seven figures approaching in the darkness. One of them was familiar to Li She.

Frowning, Li She recalled the old man he had encountered before. He had injured the old man with a "Yi Yang Zhi" strike, escaping with a serious injury.

But now, Li She smiled faintly. "Xiaojin? Ha, he's just a second-rate expert in the martial arts world. I've killed countless such characters in 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.' Such people are even inferior to the forces of the 72 islands and 36 caves." With that, Li She leaped forward.

Li She did not hide his aura. The killing intent from having killed hundreds of people in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" erupted, and his innate realm of killing intent filled the air with a thick, bloody smell.

The Butcher, who had experienced the horrors of war, narrowed his eyes and said, "He's here! He doesn't seem easy to deal with. Such a strong killing intent? It must have taken hundreds of lives to produce such a strong smell. Ha, this will be a tough nut to crack."

Sheng was also taken aback. Although he needed to use most of his internal energy to suppress the overwhelming aura, he was still a Xiaojin expert and could sense things. When he faced Li She before, he felt they were evenly matched. How could there be such a significant change in just a month?

Sheng then signaled, and the seven people formed a fan-shaped formation to surround the incoming figure.

Li She looked at the seven people with interest. Six men and one woman. The old man he had fought before was a Xiaojin expert but was severely injured by his "Yi Yang Zhi" strike. The Nine Yang True Qi is extremely powerful, and without internal energy, how could it be removed? His cultivation must have fallen to Weijin. The four old men with steady breathing and strong heartbeats were all Xiaojin experts. The unusual man and woman reminded him of the psychic he encountered at the Liu family.

Although Li She's killing intent made Sheng a bit wary, he felt reassured seeing the seven people on his side. Each of them was a formidable figure. How could they be afraid of a young upstart?

"Young man, we meet again!" Sheng said.

"It's you? So, this was all your plan?" Li She asked, sizing him up.

"You are indeed smart, but being too smart can be a disadvantage," Sheng said, staring at Li She.

"Can't help it, it's in my nature. With my intelligence, I would have thought you wouldn't even bring money," Li She laughed.

"Hmph, boy, if you know what's good for you, hand over the jade seal and the secret manual. Otherwise, you won't leave here alive!" the Butcher said, his temper flaring.

"Secret manual? What secret manual? The jade seal is with me, but what if I don't give it to you?" Li She said coldly.

"Hmph, old man has ways to make you talk. No one's mouth is harder than my poison!" the Black Killer said sinisterly.

"Ha ha ha ha! Old man, have you ever thought about why a smart person like me would come here knowing it's a trap?" Li She laughed loudly.

Sheng stared intently at Li She's face, trying to read his expression, but all he saw was confidence and arrogance. "Hmph, bluffing! If all your accounts weren't frozen, you would have hidden. It took the God of Wealth's help to force you out. You are cornered. Hand over what we want, and we'll let you live tonight!" Sheng said.

"Cornered? No! I actually want to kill all of you and then leave." With that, Li She's ghostly figure charged at them.
