Chapter 237: Chapter 202 Human Professional Skills_1

Humans always come up with new methods to kill their own kind; she found a lot of information about these ’banned bullets,’ and even discovered the ’origin’ of these bullets.

The material used to make these bullets was extracted from a special kind of mineral that has a very strong energy reaction. It’s useful both as a source of energy and for researching new technologies. However, before any research breakthroughs could be made regarding its properties, people had already started weaponizing it...

As Zheng Yichen looked through the data that Chiang Wei had pulled up, he slightly curled his lips, thinking about the use of nuclear power on Earth. Wasn’t it after the existence of nuclear bombs that nuclear energy came into play?

It truly is a professional skill of the human race.

The mineral was a rare ore named Red Star Rock, which was reddish in color, but when illuminated by a beam of light, it reflected light similar to that of stars.

This stuff reacted violently upon contact with liquids, making water boil rapidly until either the Red Star Rock was completely consumed or the water was evaporated. In dry conditions, there wouldn’t be much of a problem to handle it directly with your hands.

Of course, since it was radioactive, there would definitely be problems if you just reached out and grabbed it.

So, this thing was turned into a weapon. When used as a bullet, even a small amount added would affect anyone hit or grazed by it, as blood is a liquid, and Red Star Rock is highly sensitive to liquids.

By the way, this is a very rare ore.

"Alright... It’s supposed to make you healthier, but I don’t feel any increase in strength, tsk tsk." Zheng Yichen touched the red mark on his arm, thinking what looked like bubbling was an adverse reaction. Was it actually a sign of being almost cooked?

No wonder the area around the wound felt burning hot.

"How long will it take to ’cook’ if not treated?"

"It varies from person to person, but it won’t exceed two weeks for a normal person."

Chiang Wei said, looking at the data she had stolen. Human experimentation was illegal everywhere, but that hadn’t stopped some from conducting it in secret. The information about such activities was available on the internet, and she had discovered it. The photos from those experiments were too gruesome for her to bear.

"That’s still okay."

He wasn’t a regular person, after all. It was too bad his special ability was Water type and not Ice type, otherwise he could physically cool himself down.

Right, his motorcycle had a cooling system. He’d better prepare more ice for later.

During the rest of the journey, Chiang Wei became much quieter. Whenever there was a gap, she tried to obtain information from the Eye of Time and Space. If things had been stable, she would have gotten what she wanted by now, but there had been too many distractions along the way, and not enough quiet opportunities.

Many of her hacking attempts were thwarted by interruptions.

"Let’s go!"

"Wait, give me a bit more time, almost there!" Chiang Wei said to Zheng Yichen with beads of sweat on her forehead. After learning about his condition, she suggested he look for a way to get treated, but Zheng Yichen had no intention of changing his plans.

He was racing against the abnormalities in his body.

Her frequent attempts to hack into the Eye of Time and Space had drawn the attention of the Shell System, and now the Shell System was continuously trying to trace back and crack into her equipment.

Each interruption was like handing over an experience package to the Shell System on the other side, and after too many, even she was starting to feel overwhelmed. As for Doris’s assistance, though it was growing quickly, it was still a child, capable of providing help, but not as much as she had hoped for.

"How long will it take?"

"About half an hour."

"Then... alright." Zheng Yichen looked at the approaching armed personnel in the distance. Once they realized that hiding was futile, they attacked openly each time, probably thinking that Zheng Yichen was already a dead man, hoping to wear him down with this tactic.

Zheng Yichen charged towards the pursuers, covering the fishing rod with the black spear, as the wild wind carried thunder and lightning. The commotion made even Chiang Wei take an extra glance at him.

However, with interference devices on the other side, the impact of the powerful attack Zheng Yichen launched was greatly diminished upon landing.

Every time it happened, Zheng Yichen wanted to curse, "Isn’t there a way to counter those interference devices?"

"Yes, just hack the interferer. It can’t block signals to maintain its effect, but you can only manipulate it within the range of the interferer. I can make such a device, but I don’t have the conditions to do so right now."

"Also, there’s a counter-interference device, but it has to match the frequency of the interferer, otherwise it’s useless."

"Tsk, got it." Green flames flickered faintly on the long spear in Zheng Yichen’s hands. Devices like the interferer weren’t common products in this world.

It was a pinnacle of technology and they varied in power. Given the strength Zheng Yichen had shown, if the interferer wasn’t a high-end model, it couldn’t interfere with him much.

"They are not running anymore?"

The pilot of the flight vehicle looked at Zheng Yichen with some confusion. This period of chasing and fleeing had not only failed to capture the target, but also resulted in quite a few casualties on their side. Zheng Yichen at most had sustained some injuries that required time to take effect. He was an extremely formidable Special Ability User.

Their boss had ordered that if it was possible to capture alive, they should do so, because Zheng Yichen had exhibited an extraordinary recovery ability and multiple special abilities.

A sniper inside the flight vehicle kept his eyes on Zheng Yichen, "Be careful, he’s always looking for me."

During this time, the only one who could cause effective damage to Zheng Yichen was him, and of course without the special kind of banned bullets equipped, it was not easy to pose a threat to Zheng Yichen.

The range of the interference device was limited, and Zheng Yichen had already figured out that range. He always maintained a certain distance during combat, so even if his attacks were weakened, he wouldn’t enter the range of influence of the interference device.

Still, because of the sniper’s vigilance, he had always noticed that Zheng Yichen was constantly seeking him out as the biggest threat.

"Don’t worry, within the range of the interference device, his attacks are very weak," the pilot reassured through the communication channel. Their combat style was cooperative, and the flight vehicles they used did not need to be constantly moving forward to fly.

The sniper didn’t say anything, focusing on assessing Zheng Yichen’s situation and simulating his movement trajectory in his mind, even taking into account the possibility of wind barriers deflecting the bullets when Zheng Yichen was fighting.

Then, to the pilot’s astonishment, he saw Zheng Yichen charge over in a manner unlike his usual tactics.

"What does he want to do?"

"He wants to take us out," the sniper said with a grave voice, "Retreat, fast!!"

"Oh, oh—" Hearing the sniper’s roar, the pilot quickly increased the altitude of the flight vehicle, and Zheng Yichen, charging through a hail of bullets, swung his black spear, engulfing all of the ground troops in a ghostly green wave of fire.

The pilot who had lifted the flight vehicle higher looked at this scene in shock. The vast wave of ghostly green fire spread over a large area, even swallowing some of the lower flying vehicles in its flames, which then lost control and plummeted to the ground.

Amidst the ghostly green flames, Zheng Yichen had set his sights on them.

Without hesitation, the pilot accelerated to leave the area. Zheng Yichen spat in disdain, as it was always like this. The vehicle carrying the sniper was very stable, and had the enemy flown just a bit slower, he would have thrown his hand-held gun at them.

Now at this distance, he had no confidence of hitting the target. Dispersing the green flames he had maintained, Zheng Yichen sighed. The power level of this world was too low.

The Hellfire generated from the conversion of Life Force was powerful and spread over a large area, but his health bar was not long enough, and after a bout of exertion, he wasn’t in good shape—after all, using Hellfire drained the health bar.

However, this flame was not a power generated from a normal environment, and the interference device wasn’t very effective against Hellfire.

"Damn it, why isn’t the interference device working? This is unscientific!" After retreating, the pilot said, still shaken, while the sniper in the cockpit exhaled a sigh of relief.

An abnormality meant there was a monster, and when Zheng Yichen uncharacteristically charged at them, the sniper sensed something was wrong. Although he didn’t know what it was, as a sniper, he didn’t need to be too close to the enemy to attack, and in any case, increasing the distance was never wrong.

The facts proved his decision to be very correct—those ghostly green flames were simply too deadly. There were Special Ability Users among the ground troops, but they didn’t even stand a chance to resist before they were overwhelmed by the flames.

There might be survivors, but returning at this time was clearly not a good choice. The interference device wasn’t on this flight vehicle, and without it restricting him, it would be too easy for Zheng Yichen to kill them.

After dispersing the flames, Zheng Yichen blinked his eyes and activated thermal vision to quickly find the surviving enemies, finishing them off one by one.

Those who survived either had good equipment with special protective fields or possessed special abilities to withstand the flames momentarily. But the lethality of Hellfire was strong, and they survived only to have no chance of escape.

Shortly after, he found what he had been searching for within a specialized vehicle, "Is this really a tuning fork?"

Looking at the device about three square meters in size, Zheng Yichen noted how big it actually was. The device was somewhat damaged but had not completely broken down under the vehicle’s protection. He fiddled around for a while but couldn’t figure out how to shut it down.

He’d wait for Chiang Wei to come and take a look.

He cleared away some of the bodies, mainly because he guessed the woman might be kind-hearted and would not like to see so many corpses.

Half an hour later, Chiang Wei looked around at the scorch marks. She had seen the situation here half an hour ago. The tremendous wave of fire had swallowed all of their pursuers, and had she not been occupied at the time, she would have come over to understand the situation.

If he was so powerful, why did he get into such a mess before?

It wasn’t too late to ask now.

"You wouldn’t have ended up like this if you had used this attack earlier, right?"

"You think I can use this kind of attack that easily? I actually wanted to take out that sniper," Zheng Yichen motioned for Chiang Wei to come closer, "I’ve found the interference device, see how you can turn it off."

"Let me take a look," Chiang Wei followed Zheng Yichen to the side of the specialized vehicle, "You’re not thinking of using the interference device for yourself, are you?"

"I’ve thought about that."
