Chapter 526: Chapter 406 Any Force is Worth Studying_1

A multitude of corpses were delivered to this hive, and the movement of Alien Phenomenon creatures even restricted the capabilities of the human race... Just kidding, they only limited some abilities, after all, this world isn’t that kind of low-level environment. Even without the adaptability to alien phenomena, they can still carry out bombardment with a vast array of remote weapons.

The hive Zheng Yichen was currently observing had been battered.

Although various damaged combat weapons could be seen in some places, the state of the hive wasn’t much better off. If it hadn’t been discovered, it might have quickly recovered, but there was nothing left to say after Zheng Yichen found it.

He took the Army Decimating sniper rifle out of the weapon case. Weapons from the Army Decimating series were not meant for ordinary people; even the handguns were the kind that would break arms when used by the average person.

The heavy sniper focused on the distant hive, fired, and a gigantic hole over twenty meters wide appeared in the hive several kilometers from Zheng Yichen, astonishing him with its power.

Deservingly, it was one of the few top-tier solo combat weapons in this world.

Zheng Yichen felt if he just adjusted the strength of the crushing force field, taking out a single hive with one shot wouldn’t be a problem. However, among the four high-powered weapons, this one had the highest force field intensity—likely more than ten times that of the other three—but inversely, it had the slowest firing rate.

This power deeply satisfied Zheng Yichen. A solitary combat weapon producing such might, and against the tough-skinned hive, no less. If aimed at anything else, wouldn’t a single shot be lethal? He reckoned this thing could suffice to kill a Supreme Demon.

However, this weapon lacked the power to erase immortality; it could kill a Supreme Demon but only banish it temporarily. The Supreme Demon would resurrect and return; a complete kill required some other factors to assist.

Beings with immortality weren’t common. He could now kill a Supreme Demon, which lacked any form of immortality. At most, they had two or three revives, each weaker than the last. As for most creatures, physically eradicating them counted as a kill.

The soul? When one could physically eradicate an enemy, their soul was naturally as susceptible. Moreover, if the power was strong enough, eliminating the enemy physically would also destroy their soul in the process.

The soul was a type of energy. Unless it was in a low-level world, any residual effects of an attack would likely annihilate it.

He tossed the spent casing into a notch on his motorcycle, which connected to the Universal Toolbox. Thrusting the empty shell in there, it could be recycled for future use.

After reloading and firing another shot, another massive hole appeared on the surface of the hive. Two huge bloody gaps caused its body to begin collapsing, and the surrounding creatures went utterly berserk. As those approaching creatures strengthened the moving Alien Phenomena nearby, they were engulfed by flames and annihilated.

The individual combat strength of these creatures wasn’t too impressive, it was the hive that was more resilient. Yet, with two shots from Zheng Yichen, it was taken down. Minus the hive, the remaining creatures started to scatter and flee, without any intention of directly confronting Zheng Yichen.

The escaping creatures were quickly out of sight. During this, Zheng Yichen continued to fire sporadically at the adequate runaways. Although the Army Decimating heavy sniper had a slow firing rate compared to an assault rifle,

after adjusting the additional intensity of the crushing force field or simply turning off the field, the weapon could fire in rapid succession. But the force field module was too powerful: full-power continuous firing would cause the force field to become uncontrollable, not overheating the gun, but affecting the user.

That issue was even more serious than overheating, but it was not a concern within certain limits. However, under those limits, it made more sense to use a rifle instead and there was no need to fire a heavy sniper in sweeping bursts.

For handling ordinary extraordinary creatures, setting the intensity of the crushing force field to 1% was sufficient, and this level wouldn’t place any burden on the weapon.

Zheng Yichen purely practiced his marksmanship now, getting accustomed to the weapon. The hit creatures exploded on impact—the small bullet’s crushing force field was like a missile, and mere touching could be fatal to a creature.

"Huh—pretty impressive," Zheng Yichen shook his arm a bit. The power of this gun ranked at the top in this world and would remain effective in higher-level environments. It would be significantly potent in lower-level environments too.

Even if the star core battery was affected, as long as it could function, that was enough. Moreover, the material of the weapon itself was of high quality. He wouldn’t need to change to different firearm types for a while. For things like grenades, the Universal Toolbox could handle it.

Zheng Yichen left the wrecked area and not long after his departure, several transport aircraft arrived on the scene. The pilot looking down at the still burning remnants of Hellfire reported, "Target eliminated, requesting new operational orders."

These aircraft quickly changed direction and left the place of no further interest. The front lines were tight; the mobile Alien Phenomena created by the half Alien Phenomenon creature accumulations were troublesome. Their people who entered would lose their fighting capacity.

Eligible fighters could ignore the moving anomalies in combat, but there were too few adaptive people, there was no need to send them to the front-line battlefields. Their main task was to expose them to more of the world.

Moreover, they didn’t need to directly confront the moving anomalies, remote attacks were enough. Those moving anomalies were different from some other anomalies; the fog only caused the non-adapted to lose their combat effectiveness and fall into a coma, but it did not weaken the attacks that bombarded them from outside.

Real anomalies, however, were a different story. They had tried many methods to attack the genuine moving anomalies, even detonating two "Star Cores", but the result was far from ideal. The moving anomaly was still intact, and the number of half Extraordinary creature coming out had decreased, but very soon, more half Extraordinary creature were sprayed out.

And when Adaptive fighters entered the moving anomalies... it was a one-way trip.

As Zheng Yichen continued to advance, he encountered the war zone where no Firmament Wheels could be seen. A large number of anomalous insects were assaulting the front lines, and ordinary soldiers were bombarding the insects with weapons of this world, the shells exploding into mushroom clouds.

Some stronger Extraordinary creatures burst out of the explosions. Even though they were damaged, their resistance to such explosive attacks demonstrated their strength, yet these powerful Extraordinary creatures were directly killed by snipers.

The stronger ones were killed by the remote attacks of the indigenous people.

In this world, the might demonstrated by the powerful was extraordinarily high, some felt even more exaggerated than those in the Three Glory world to Zheng Yichen.

However, these attacks could only be used to intercept the Extraordinary creatures; a hundred-meter-long colossal insect, despite being bombarded by a multitude of attacks, seemed minimally affected. The explosions merely chipped away some fragments from its body.

Under the sunlight, its carapace shimmered with an Obsidian-like glow. A native powerhouse swung their weapon, slicing a deep wound into the giant insect, yet it continued its relentless charge.

Zheng Yichen took out an Army Decimating heavy sniper rifle from the weapon case, took aim at the giant insect’s head, and fired. The charging insect’s body heavily fell to the ground, with the potent disturbance affecting the surrounding anomalous insects.

Patting the weapon in his hand, Zheng Yichen rode his motorcycle toward the moving anomaly ahead.

As for the Boundary Breakers of this world... Zheng Yichen thought that unless they had lost their minds, they wouldn’t make an appearance at this time. Even if those Boundary Breakers had methods like Descent of God, facing the combined forces of this world, such beings could still likely be killed.

They might also be waiting for something.

"We won’t be able to provide any support from here on out, please be careful!!" A sergeant, clutching his weapon, spoke to the passing Zheng Yichen, then yelled through the communication channel, "Don’t conserve ammunition, clear the way!!"

The nearby combat soldiers immediately changed their regular interception shooting rhythm and began to unload all their ammunition on the Extraordinary creatures assaulting the front line. Zheng Yichen smiled at the sergeant, "There’s no need for that, these insects can’t stop me. Take care of yourselves."

Having said that, he also sped up. His black spear swung through the air, conjuring up an eerie green Hellfire that left behind a lengthy trail. As Zheng Yichen moved forward, a long firewall was left on the ground.

The Extraordinary creatures that later rushed into the firewall turned into torches, burning out before they could run far. If it weren’t for the moving anomaly being too huge, Zheng Yichen would have attempted to encircle it with a colossal ring of fire, completely sealing off the anomaly.

But the problem was that the thing was just too big. Emulating the slaughter of one or two cities on the cancerous planet, accumulating enough life sources to try, wasn’t feasible right now. Zheng Yichen didn’t charge straight into the moving anomaly.

Instead, he cut into the interior of the moving anomaly in a diagonal manner. His firewall couldn’t encompass the anomaly, but it could isolate a significant portion of the Extraordinary creatures.

"This fire has a very strong scent of death; do not approach it carelessly," warned an engineer loudly to his allies while trying to collect a small amount of Hellfire in a container on his person. Looking at the alarms emanating from the container, he exhaled and switched to a different method to barely contain the bit of fire.

They had researched the Hell of this world, but the rules of Hell were much stricter here. Even the very powerful natives found it challenging to come into direct contact with Hell. Now that this flame bore the scent of Hell, it was worth the study.

Besides, considering the lethality of this fire, if they could fully understand it, it could be a powerful weapon against Boundary Breakers and Devourers in the future. Any force that maximizes damage to the enemy is worth studying!
