Chapter 300: The Effects Are Quite Different
The powerful force of this new weapon filled him with confidence for the upcoming battle, and also made him more eager to show his strength in this battle.
"Berlin, try it with a regular gun," Nangong Jingming shouted at Feng Bolin. He had a plan in mind: by comparing the power of a regular pistol with the modified one, he could gain a deeper understanding of the effect of the Crimson Ant material on weapon modification, thereby providing more accurate data support for subsequent weapon research and development.
Upon hearing this, Feng Bolin quickly pulled an ordinary pistol from his waist. It was the latest model from his country, a stark contrast to the brand-new modified pistol in Ye Xuexin's hand. He held the pistol steadily with both hands, narrowed his eyes slightly, aimed at a red ant, and fired decisively. However, surprisingly, the bullet did not penetrate the red ant's body, leaving a barely perceptible mark on its hard shell before it fell to the ground helplessly.
The disparity was so vast that everyone gasped. The effect of the pistol modified with the Crimson Ants was truly astonishing. Nangong Jingming watched this scene and secretly resolved to obtain more Crimson Ants. This way, their nation's weapons would be significantly upgraded, giving them even greater capabilities in the interstellar world.
"The effect has been tested. One person can take down one," Nangong Jingming said loudly. His eyes revealed a hint of anticipation and encouragement. He hoped that everyone could experience the power of the new weapon for themselves, and at the same time take this opportunity to improve their combat skills.
Everyone knew he wanted everyone to try their hand! So, everyone was eager to try, ready to take on their own battle challenge.
"Boss, look! Those red ants are drinking the blood of that dead red ant." Gu Zhilun, who had been staring closely at the ant colony, suddenly exclaimed in surprise. His eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity, wondering why these red ants were behaving so strangely.
"It seems they also like the blood of their own kind. We need to deal with them quickly, or else they'll attract a large number of them and make it difficult for us to deal with them." Nangong Jingming's face was solemn, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He knew the habits of the red ants well. If they didn't deal with these remaining red ants quickly, once their blood attracted more of their kind, they would be in a very passive situation.
With that, everyone else raised their pistols and attempted to shoot the red ants in front of them. Everyone was completely absorbed in the battle, their eyes fixed and focused. With each crisp crack of gunfire, the red ants fell one after another. With the exception of Nangong Jingming, Su Siyi, and the Su family's grandfather and grandmother, who didn't try their hand, everyone else managed to shoot one.
Even Han Shuqiong, who had never touched a pistol before, mustered up the courage to pick it up amidst the tense atmosphere of battle. To her surprise, the pistol seemed to possess magical powers, and she effortlessly hit her target without even aiming. This gave her a surge of accomplishment and a new understanding of her ability to survive in this interstellar world.
For the first time, a battle was easily resolved, and everyone's hearts surged with uncontrollable excitement. Their faces were filled with excitement and joy, their eyes gleaming with triumph, as if they had just experienced not a life-and-death battle, but a glorious adventure that made their blood boil.
"Siyi, please use a separate space button to store these corpses. Don't contaminate anything else," Nangong Jingming said cautiously to Su Siyi, his expression solemn. His gaze fell on the bloody Zerg corpses, his brow furrowed slightly, a hint of disgust and caution in his eyes. In this interstellar world, any slight oversight could lead to unexpected trouble. He knew that every step had to be flawless.
"Okay, I thought so too," Su Siyi nodded slightly. She, too, felt a surge of discomfort as she gazed upon the bloody corpses. She didn't want these objects, so closely associated with death, mixed in with her other valuables. The mere thought of it was unbearable. So, she quickly browsed through the system store and, after careful selection, purchased a large-capacity space button, intending to use it specifically for storing the Zerg corpses. On this interstellar journey filled with uncertainty and danger, the system store was like her secret arsenal, always providing the necessary items and assistance at crucial moments.
After she skillfully stored the bodies one by one into the space button, everyone began to move forward without stopping. The car sped across this mysterious and vast land, and the scenery outside the window was like a flowing painting, constantly receding.
They encountered several more attacks from the Crimson Ants, but their previous experience made them more comfortable. Each time they encountered a swarm, they strategically left around fifty or so to hunt. In the fierce battles, everyone coordinated closely, their weapons roaring incessantly, blazing energy beams intertwined with icy bullets in a symphony of death. With each victory, they soon managed to kill over two hundred Crimson Ants, a bountiful harvest.
"We're only five kilometers away. We need to get off the bus and walk." Nangong Jingming said to everyone with a firm gaze. His eyes revealed a hint of vigilance and caution. In this strange interstellar world, no detail could be overlooked. He knew that the car they were riding in was extremely unique in this world and would likely attract unwanted attention. To ensure safety, it was best to hide it.
"Got it, Boss," they all responded in unison, their voices filled with trust and obedience. They quickly packed their gear and prepared to get off the bus and continue on foot.
When they were about a kilometer away from Xinghai City, everyone got out of the car in a swift and orderly manner. Then, Nangong Jingming maneuvered to secure the car, and like well-trained soldiers, the group marched with determined steps towards the tall buildings they could see from afar.
By now, they could clearly see the outline of the city, a sight that was breathtaking. Tall buildings rose from the ground, piercing the heavens like monuments erected by giants on this land. They looked to have at least a hundred stories, and in the sunlight, the glass curtain walls reflected a dazzling light, creating a dreamlike feeling.
"I don't know what those buildings are. They're so tall, I can't even see the tops." Su Hao stared at the buildings with wide eyes, his mouth slightly open, as if he was speechless at the sight. His eyes were filled with curiosity and awe. These were magnificent buildings he had never seen before, completely different from the world he was familiar with.
"Compared to our city, this is truly a world of technology," Su Wenyu said excitedly. He was filled with wonder and yearning for this city. If these buildings could appear in their world, they would surely astound the world and become legends in human architectural history. He couldn't help but imagine the earth-shaking changes his hometown would undergo if he brought the technology and architectural concepts here back home.
Everyone else, too, looked on in amazement, their eyes fixed on the technologically advanced city ahead. They also saw various flying cars and hovering vehicles soaring above the city. Like nimble birds, they darted freely through the air, carving out dazzling trails. All of this was a sci-fi scene they had only seen in novels and on television, yet now, it unfolded before their very eyes, giving them the illusion of traveling through time and space. This wasn't some illusive television scene; it was a cruel yet captivating reality!
Soon, they arrived not far from the entrance of Xinghai City.
The entrance was bustling with activity, resembling a miniature interstellar marketplace. They also observed the city's unique location: it sat in the center of the planet, with a barren landscape barely resembling a desert to its left and a dense forest to its right. The trees were tall and sturdy, appearing from a distance much larger than those in their own world, lending a sense of mystery and danger. Everyone wondered what secrets and dangers lay hidden within the forest's depths, whether even more powerful Zerg or other unknown creatures lurked within.
"Xue Xin, Berlin, go and see if there is anything we need to do to enter the city?" Nangong Jingming looked at the crowd entering the city and found that they seemed to be doing some kind of registration. He didn't dare to take everyone in directly, so he decisively sent Ye Xue Xin and Feng Berlin to investigate.
"Okay." The two men, having received their assignment, immediately headed towards the city gate, about a hundred meters away, without hesitation. They didn't rush forward to ask questions, but like keen hunters, they quietly blended into the growing crowd, intending to observe how others registered in order to gain more useful information.
"You, the Navy SEALs are back!" A tall, handsome man, two meters tall and weighing 180 pounds, suddenly had his eyes light up as he excitedly called out to the people around him. His voice was filled with anticipation and curiosity, as if the return of the Navy SEALs was a matter of great importance.
"Then let's see what they've got today!" Another man was about to head into the city, having already sorted out the items they were going to exchange. But upon hearing the news, he paused, his eyes gleaming with greed and envy, eager to see what precious treasures the SEALs had brought back.
