Chapter 66: The Electric Oven Theory—Trap the Monster Inside!

News of the monster attack immediately reached Song Lufeng.

An emergency battle meeting was called.

The seasoned generals, who had fought countless mutant beasts on the battlefield, were at a loss upon seeing this completely unknown creature.

“What on earth is this thing? Even most high-powered weapons can’t harm it!”

“Only nuclear weapons can pose a threat, but it can disperse to avoid them!”

“It’s an intangible being—its body resembles mist and clouds, able to gather and disperse at will. When gathered, it can unleash a nuclear explosion-like force and emit high-frequency sound waves. When scattered, it seems to act independently, as if each part has its own consciousness. Damn…”

This kind of monster seemed impossible to deal with.

“If these weapons can’t harm it, ordinary abilities probably won’t work either.”

“The worst part is that we can’t completely cut off communication with the outside world. The moment we open the air exchange system, it might infiltrate.”

“In temperatures of absolute zero, human bodies won’t last a second.”

Everyone’s faces darkened.

Conventional battle strategies were useless against such a monster.

Using sheer numbers? Even if that worked, they couldn’t send people to die without understanding the enemy.

There was only one option.

“I’ll go confront it.”

Song Lufeng spoke.

“City Lord!”

The group objected.

“You can’t! It’s too dangerous!”

“The base can’t lose you!”

Shi Hai and Cheng Fang stepped forward.

“We’ll go!”

Song Lufeng changed into his combat suit, speaking with certainty.

“I’m the most suitable candidate.”

“I’m the only 3S-ranked ability user. Against this new type of monster, I have the best chance of escaping unscathed.”

“If you go, it’s just suicide.”

The room fell silent. Shu Weng wanted to argue, but he couldn’t.

The City Lord was right.

If they went, they would die.

A heavy sense of powerlessness filled the room.

If only they were stronger, strong enough to protect the base…

“But, City Lord, sealing ourselves inside is also an option.”

Song Lufeng glanced outside.

“There are still people fighting. I won’t stand by and watch.”

With that, he strode out and disappeared in an instant.

Silence. More silence.

Everyone clenched their fists tightly, their jaws set with determination.

They weren’t strong enough. Not yet…

In the next second, Song Lufeng stood atop the steel fortress walls.

His gaze pierced through the thick metal barriers, “seeing” the battlefield outside.

He was about to leap into battle—

But then he remembered Gu Man’s words.

He was a man of his word.

If he made a promise, he would keep it.

Even if he didn’t want to worry her.

Pulling out an old pink phone, he spoke softly.

As his voice traveled, Gu Man immediately received a clear view of Xuanwu Base’s predicament—the terrifying, formless monster, along with detailed data analysis.

Identifying weaknesses.

And then she realized—

“Song Lufeng, this monster fears heat!”

“As long as we create an enclosed space large enough to trap them… You know an electric oven, right? I’ll send you a picture.”

“Something like this—a contained space with internal heating. It doesn’t need to be too high, 2000°C should be enough to completely restrain it.”

“Trap it inside, and the crisis is over.”

Song Lufeng looked at the image Gu Man sent.

Her plan made perfect sense.

“Savior, you’re amazing!”

His praise was genuine, full of admiration.

But Gu Man felt a little guilty.

Because this wasn’t entirely her idea—it was her phone’s analysis combined with a spark of inspiration.

And whether it could be executed depended entirely on Song Lufeng.

“Is this plan difficult to pull off?”

She was worried.

Because the data on her phone was horrifying.

If this monster appeared in modern society—

Never mind. She didn’t want to think about it.

As for her plan…

Wasn’t it just like stuffing an elephant into a fridge?

Song Lufeng chuckled.

“Not too difficult.”

Gu Man looked at the handsome, determined young City Lord, smiling as he said those words.

For some reason, her heart clenched slightly.

Like a gentle hand brushing over it—then pulling away.

“Just be careful. If it gets too dangerous, retreat.”

“We can think of another plan. But if you’re gone, you’re gone for good.”

“Remember, your life belongs to me.”

Afraid that he’d act recklessly, Gu Man said it outright.

A surge of warmth filled Song Lufeng’s heart.

It gave him boundless courage and strength.

“Mm.”

Don’t worry, Savior.

I won’t die.

I can’t bear to leave such a great Savior behind.

Unlike before, when she couldn’t see his battles—

Now, after his promise, Gu Man could watch the full battle through her phone.

She didn’t have time to wonder why.

Her entire attention was focused on the intense battle, her heart clenched with tension.

Song Lufeng dashed out of the city.

The overwhelming cold instantly enveloped him.

But he didn’t feel it.

He was wearing a special insulated combat suit—a gift from Gu Man, modified with high-tech elements. Stable carbon structures and an advanced heat barrier system made him impervious to the cold.

His eyes locked onto the enemy.

The mist-like tendrils of the monster began gathering again.

They seemed curious yet wary.

Sensing that he was just a human—not a high-temperature nuclear cannon—the monster started coalescing, forming a massive, ever-shifting figure.

Like a towering storm cloud, yet possessing intelligence.

It launched a probing attack.

Boom!

A thick, ever-changing cloud limb extended like a giant hand, slamming toward Song Lufeng.

The frozen ground shattered, leaving a massive crater.

Song Lufeng teleported, appearing elsewhere.

The cloud-monster seemed enraged.

Its body swelled, sprouting countless tendrils that struck at him with lightning speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The deafening explosions sent ice and debris flying, obscuring his figure.

Screeeeeee!

A series of high-frequency sonic blasts erupted—strong enough to rupture a human skull.

Spectators watching from afar clenched their fists in fear, praying for his victory.

“This thing’s attacks are insane! Not even nukes can harm it. It can unleash physical strikes and sonic waves!”

“It’s practically invincible!”

“How do we even fight this?!”

Inside the command center, even the most battle-hardened generals were at a loss.

But Shu Weng’s sharp eyes noticed something.

“What’s that?!”

Everyone focused.

And suddenly saw—

At some point, Song Lufeng had erected a massive cube-like barrier.

A containment field, nearly 5000 meters on each side.

Trapping the entire monster inside.
