Due to the requirements of fighting in the rugged terrain of Dark Region, Li Xin did not bring anti-material sniper rifles or heavy Vulcan cannons or other major weapons.
Meng Chao found a Poison Scorpion submachine gun and four clips of twenty-eight bullets in the gun case and his chest.
The submachine gun was not much bigger than a handgun, and it was a rare anomaly among the crude and crude weapon designs in Dragon City.
Even though it was small and exquisite, it could create a storm of bullets in half a second.
When it was used with crystals, runic symbols, cursed bullets, armor-piercing bullets, incendiary bullets, or freezing bullets, it was rather powerful.
Li Xin still held an assault rifle in his hands, but the barrel had been twisted during the explosion.
Fortunately, the rifle grenade launcher was still in perfect condition.
Meng Chao found three rifle grenades the size of a baby's fist on Li Xin's belt.
He first stuffed a rifle grenade into the launcher, then stuffed another one into his trouser pocket. He then used a dagger to make a few crisscrossing marks at the bottom of the last grenade to increase its instability. In an emergency, he could use it as a grenade if he knocked it against a rock.
"This is a method only the most elite special forces in the Red Dragon Army and the veterans who have been through hundreds of battles would use." Qin Hu looked at Meng Chao, and admiration appeared in his eyes.
Meng Chao remembered how smug Qin Hu had been just now and did not say anything. He continued searching and found a few tranquilizers that could increase a gunner's stability, a multipurpose night vision goggles, a scope for a sniper rifle, and a flexible periscope.
The flexible periscope looked like the flexible metal tubes connected to the showerhead in the shower. It could be twisted at will to different directions and angles. It could be used to turn corners of walls or reach into all sorts of gaps to scout the enemy.
Gunners liked to use observation devices that could turn corners to reduce the risk of exposing themselves.
Meng Chao whistled and tossed the multipurpose night vision goggles to Qin Hu. Then, he put away the scope and periscope.
In the end, he found a bulging bag in Li Xin's chest.
It was a strange-looking handgun.
It looked like it had been polished by hand and was the amalgamation of a revolver and a starting gun. The cartridge could only hold one huge bullet.
This bullet was separated and stored in a translucent glass bottle. It floated in the mithril stabilizer, emitting a dark but dangerous glow.
At first glance, it did not look like a bullet. Instead, it looked like a crystalline meteor fragment or the core material of a high-grade superbeast.
But somebody had carved a series of runes that were as small as the heads of flies on its surface. Together with the mithril stabilizing liquids, they controlled the destructive power contained in it.
Sticking his ear to the glass bottle, he could still hear the hissing sound of the 'bullet', which sounded like a low moan from the deepest depths of hell.
"This is … a self-destruct gun?"
Qin Hu sucked in a breath of cold air and said hastily, "Little bastard, put it down. This isn't something you can control!"
Meng Chao quirked an eyebrow.
When he saw that Meng Chao was still staring at it, he thought that Meng Chao was attracted by the incredibly dangerous beauty of the bullet. Qin Hu raised his voice. "A normal crystal bullet only has a small amount of crystals or monster materials added to it. When it's fired, it will explode with powerful spirit energy ripples that will impact the gunner's brain. This is the so-called recoil.
"And the self-destruct guns in the gunner circle aren't mass-produced. Instead, they're made of incredibly rare crystals or superbeast materials that are suitable for being polished into bullets. Then, they'll carve runes on them and polish them a little. Then, based on the strange and unique bullet, they'll create a gun by hand.
"Do you understand now? This self-destruct gun was created for this bullet, and this bullet is either a meteor fragment that fell from the sky during ancient times or a crystallized organ of a Hell Beast or even an Apocalyptic Beast. It contains power that can destroy the world. If you fire it, you'll definitely have to pay a price!
"The meaning behind the name 'self-destruct gun' means that once a gunner uses it, there's a certain chance that his head and the target's head will explode.
"Look, even when Li Xin died, he didn't dare to use this self-destruct gun. He didn't even dare to take out the bullet from the mithril-based stabilizing fluid and stuff it into the barrel. This is definitely a killing weapon with peerless power and shocking side effects. It's definitely not something a puny Spirit Tattoo Realm martial artist like you can use.
"If you want to use this gun, I promise you that at the moment you pull the trigger, the first thing you'll see will be your own brain!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Hu."
In his previous life, Meng Chao had started out as a gunner and received harsh military training in Ghost Tribe, so there was no way he would not know about the dangers of a self-destruct gun.
But Li Xin did not use a self-destruct gun, and he still died a horrible death.
Meng Chao tightened his grip on the super bullet that looked like a meteor fragment. Then, he stuffed it and the self-destruct gun into the pockets of his thighs, which were the easiest to access.
The two of them cleaned up all traces of the place.
They went to the furthest corner of the wall and sucked in a deep breath.
In the end, Meng Chao organized all the things he could use.
Two chain sabers, two Venomous Scorpion Submachine Guns, four magazines, a rifle grenade launcher, three rifle grenades, one self-destruct gun, and one incredibly dangerous super bullet.
He also had a scope, a periscope, night vision goggles, an anti-radiation suit, a piece of sticky liquid from the Stone Statue Fungus, and a Slit-mouthed Anaconda acid gland that could soften it and make it sticky again.
He still had around twenty-seven thousand contribution points left. He could go through two rounds of intensive treatment and increase his Skillfulness with killing moves like Demon Subduing Slash or Thousand Moon Slash.
Over the past two months, he had been sparring with his classmates in the base and killing monsters in Shattered Starlake. He had actually completed the second and third segments of the chain quest Fight for the Ultimate Style, which was more than what he had achieved.
If he had to, he could get at least twenty thousand contribution points and have a certain chance of awakening to new skills — Mind Lightning and Beast Blood Combustion.
'I will definitely survive and find the truth so that I can change the future!'
Meng Chao exhaled slowly and used the Slit-mouthed Anaconda teeth embedded in his arms and soles to rub against the wall. Then, like a gecko, he climbed up agilely.
Both of them were superhumans, so their mobility far surpassed that of the rock climbers on Earth. They also had the rows of sharp Slit-mouthed Anaconda teeth to help them, so they soon climbed dozens of meters.
The higher they climbed, the clearer they could hear the intense fighting and explosions above them. They could also sense the spirit energy ripples that were like tidal waves crashing into each other and surging about.
"Kacha kacha" sounds came from the depths of the rock wall in front of them. Pebbles kept falling from the top of their heads. There were even cracks that appeared like spider webs on the rock wall.
This increased their climbing speed by leaps and bounds.
But it also made their hearts sink.
The humans' vitality magnetic fields surged madly, and the crystal bombs' chain explosions caused the crystal mines to vibrate at a high frequency.
The vibrations between different crystal mines affected each other, and the vibrations became stronger. They sank into a vicious cycle.
In spirit energy studies, this phenomenon was known as self-stimulation.
When self-stimulation reached its limit, it might turn into a spirit energy tsunami that could not be stopped.
Forget about the underground cave collapsing, even the Deity Realm superhumans and Apocalyptic Beasts in Raging Waves would be severely affected.
"This doesn't seem like a normal fight between us over the mining rights of a mine."
Qin Hu narrowed his eyes and stared at the top of the cliff shrouded in subsurface plasma. He suddenly said, "Brat, you suspect that there's a mole instigating both sides to die together. Who is it?"
Meng Chao hesitated for a moment. He did not want to mention the name he respected and idolized in front of Qin Hu, who was domineering, greasy, and had a grudge against him in his previous life.
Qin Hu cackled strangely. "Even if you don't say it, I know. It's Lin Chuan!"
This time, Meng Chao was truly stunned. He did not care whether Qin Hu was lying to him and just blurted out, "How did you know?"
"If it was Lu Siya or the other people in Sky Pillar Corporation, you wouldn't have known, and you wouldn't have told me, since you're not familiar with them," Qin Hu said.
"But Lin Chuan is your schoolmate, and you've been hanging out with him a lot lately. You even became his assistant for the livestreams, so you should know him very well. That's why you guessed that he's the mole and didn't want to tell me."
Meng Chao tacitly agreed to it.
"That's strange."
Qin Hu grabbed a crack that had just formed and used his other hand to scratch his beard. "Isn't Lin Chuan Lu Siya's wolfdog? He's tied to the Lu family. If Lu Siya gets the right to mine the mine first, he can also live a good life.
"What's in it for him to force two mine exploration teams to die together and kill Lu Siya and Shen Yulong at the same time?
"The only thing I can think of is the right to mine the mine first. The problem is, the biggest mining companies in Dragon City are Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation. With Lin Chuan's strength alone, it's impossible for him to take the Red Radiance Jade mine for himself.
"Join another force of power with the Red Radiance Jade mine? Impossible. After this happened, no matter which force of power wants to mine the Red Radiance Jade mine, they'll have to face the wrath of Sky Pillar Corporation and Universe Corporation. No one will do something so stupid. The losses outweigh the gains, don't you think? "
Meng Chao frowned and defended himself seriously. "Big Brother Lin isn't a wolfdog."
Qin Hu was stunned for a moment before he realized that the two of them were not on the same wavelength. "Alright, he's not Lu Siya's wolfdog. Honestly, I don't have any ill will when I say this. It's a skill to live off a woman nowadays. If I were as handsome as Lin Chuan, I wouldn't have to risk my life in this stupid place —"
"Mr. Hu."
Meng Chao interrupted him. "Please don't destroy the tiny bit of good impression I've built for you just now."
Qin Hu pulled off a strand of his beard and said in slight resignation, "What I mean is, I'm not interested in Lin Chuan's character. I'm just curious about his motives."
"I don't know. I just think that Big Brother Lin is a person who has broken away from low-class interests and has great ambitions. If he was really the one who planned the entire scheme, it would definitely not be for the right to mine the Red Radiance Jade mine. It's not something as vulgar as that."
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he told Qin Hu some of the things Lin Chuan had said about there being no monsters and no humans. Then, he asked, "Do you think this theory makes sense?"
"I don't care whether it makes sense or not!"
Qin Hu said. "I've long since passed the age where I have nothing better to do than to talk about theories. What's the point of just talking about theories? I just want to get money now! Get resources! Cultivate madly! Then, get more money and resources so that I, my wife, and my children can live in glory and comfort for the rest of their lives! "
