Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 50: Master, I have realized it!
"My ghost is easier to deal with. It attacks with its own head. I don't even need to find a weapon for it..."
Sun Can's ghost is an energy body, which can occasionally be summoned from the body of a powerful zombie unit. Only zombie corpses above the first level can summon ghosts. When summoned, the ghost will devour the crystal core in the zombie's brain as its own energy source. After a period of combat, the ghost's body will gradually become weak, and they need to devour energy crystal cores to replenish the body's energy. The ghost's attack is very strange, not only can it cause physical damage, but also can stir up the energy in the body of the attacked person, causing the attacked zombie or person's energy to become disordered, thereby reducing their strength. The strength of this ghost is roughly equal to that of a first-level evolved zombie. Sun Can can currently control an upper limit of 5. This is Sun Can's signature skill: intermediate necromancy!
Skeletons are also the product of this skill. The corpses of evolved zombies can be summoned. Currently, Sun Can controls up to 10 Skeleton Warriors. If you look closely, you will find that there is a burning blue ghost fire in the mind of each Skeleton Warrior. That is its energy source. Skeletons also rely on absorbing energy crystal cores to maintain mobility. After the energy is consumed, they will fall apart and become bones. Their strength is roughly equal to that of evolved zombies. [Ding Ding Ding~! New Mission]
Sun Can suddenly received a system notification sound. After a moment, his face changed. "What! Go to the capital city B? Destroy the nest that breeds a large number of mutants? Hiss... The population there is so dense, how many zombies will there be? I even suspect... There may be few living people there!"
Sun Can has already asked someone. City B here is also the capital, with a permanent population of over 20 million. City Q has a permanent population of only 3 million. The area of City B is twice that of City Q, but the number of zombies is 7 times that of City Q!
With such a large population density, the casualties were extremely heavy when a zombie outbreak occurred, and people had almost nowhere to escape!
There are zombies everywhere, on the roadside, in the streets, in office buildings, and in the residential areas. Even the government headquarters had to choose to evacuate B City after resisting for a while and move to the second largest military base in the country - the Plateau Command. The situation in B City is now... very tragic. The dragnet hardly mentioned B City in the broadcast...
"This mission looks very challenging...I need to prepare well!"
Sun Can turned around and saw the tattered weapons in the hands of his skeleton warriors. He was furious. "Damn, this looks really bad! Broken system! Can you believe that you can't drop equipment when you kill monsters?"
At this moment, with a "whoosh", a P-shaped jet zombie lying on the ground on the west side of Sun Can was shot through by an arrow emitting blood-red light!
Entering from the mouth and coming out from the anus, the arrow's power remained undiminished, fiercely piercing into the building behind... "Boom!"
A cloud of concrete shattered into pieces. "This bow, this arrow...!"
Sun Can's eyes lit up when he looked at the person holding the pink shimmering short bow!
With a spurt of his feet, he rushed forward. Sun Can knew that this was the long-range weapon he wanted. This was definitely not an ordinary bow!
This is a pink glowing bow!
A bow that can shoot arrows of such power is definitely not an ordinary item!
By the way, that arrow is not an ordinary one!
Maybe it can accommodate his fire ability!
…
Pang Guang looked at the P-type zombie in the corner who was about to attack him but was shot through the brain. He sneered, "A mature archer is always alert and observant. You still want to attack me? Ridiculous... Hey! Hey? Who caught me?"
Pang Guang only felt a wave of heat coming from behind him. He was already under control. Then five "women" floating in the low sky came over with their own heads in their hands and laughed strangely. "F*ck me! Don't come over here!"
Pang Guang's face turned pale. It was really too scary to see such an "unclean" thing appear in broad daylight. "It's okay. They are all summoned creatures under my control. They are very cute~!"
An elegant male voice came from behind Pang Guang. He breathed a sigh of relief. If it was someone, just catch him. "Oh, you scared me. What's the matter, brother? Are you looking for money or sex? Can you put me down first... Damn! Skeleton monster!"
Pang Guang turned around and found that 10 gangster skeletons holding various weapons had also surrounded him, and his nerves tensed up again!
"Please let me go. I'll burn some incense for you when I get back... Please!"
Seeing ghosts and skeletons in broad daylight, Pang Guang had already gone through all the ghost stories that his grandmother told him since he was a child seven or eight times in his mind!
"Uh...you may have some misunderstandings about me. I came to you to ask about weapons!"
Pang Guang was put down, his feet were still a little weak after landing. Behind him stood a gentle and easy-going handsome man, as perfect as the male protagonist in a comic book, "I can tell at first glance that you are a good person!"
Sun Can's appearance immediately dispelled the misunderstanding. It was not that Pang Guang was a homosexual, but... he had seen Sun Can!
At the last line of defense against the zombie tide, he was shooting wildly down from the wall...
Sun Can was chasing the Z zombies madly below, punching and kicking them, killing them again and again. The scene was very bloody at one point. Many people above were deeply impressed by Sun Can, the fire-type mutant. What a ruthless guy!
"Huh? You know me? Well... I see, you are from Home No. 1?"
"Yes! Uh...can you please stop letting this ghost touch my butt? It feels so cold!"
"Ahem... this ghost was a tentacle monster before it died. After becoming this form, it always likes to dig holes!"
Pang Guang looked at the ghost zombie holding its head in his hands and calculated the height in his mind. If his hands were holding up his head, wouldn’t the position of his mouth be right…
Wonderful!
In fact, the ghost's head is still handsome, with a smiling face under long black hair. When it is an enemy, you always feel scared, but after it becomes a friendly force, Pang Guang thinks those "jiejiejie" laughter is quite cute...
"Ahem, what do you want to talk to me about? I remember you fought the zombie tide with us last time, right?"
Sun Can always felt that this archer with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at his ghost in a strange way. He asked the ghost to step back and said, "Yeah, yes, let me introduce myself. I'm Sun Can!"
Sun Can stretched out his right hand, "Hello, my name is Pang Guang!"
Sun Can: “???”
Pang Guang: “…”
Sun Can: "Stop making trouble..."
"Really, it's not my name that's problematic, it's your thinking that's problematic! You're... vulgar!"
Pang Guang’s name had troubled him since he was a child. It had always been a source of worry for him. He even quarreled with his parents and ran away from home. Later, when he went to a temple, he was enlightened by a master. Pang Guang asked, “Master, my name has always been laughed at by others. I often feel troubled, sad, and depressed. What should I do?”
The master closed his eyes and remained silent, pointing to the merit box.
After a moment, Pang Guang suddenly understood: "I understand, Master! You mean that money is originally a vulgar thing, but after it is put into the merit box, it becomes a merit, so you want me to choose a good angle when looking at things? In fact, it's not the name that is vulgar, but my heart is vulgar, right?"
The master opened his eyes and said, "I told you to donate money first and then ask questions!"
Pang Guang: (×゜ー゜×)
"Okay, Master. I have understood. Goodbye!"
From then on, Pang Guang was no longer afraid of being laughed at by others, and all his worries were resolved.
At this time, Sun Can still looked at Pang Guang with suspicion: "Bladder? Do you have two brothers named...G Men and J Hua?"
"Huh? How did you know? Cha Gangmen and Tong Juhua have been killed by our boss because of their crimes..."
Sun Can: (°ー°〃)
"插…插GM? 刺…刺JH? These two names…are so unique!" Sun Can found that Pang Guang was speaking very seriously, "Hmm? Is there a problem? I think the name sounds masculine, but the actions are too stupid…Oh, don't worry about the name, what do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Sun?"
“Hahahaha… hiccups~! By the way, I just saw that your bow is very powerful. Can you let me try it?”
"Hmm? Hey~!"
Pang Guang handed it over naturally. After all, if he didn't give it to someone else, it would be embarrassing to have it snatched away...
Sun Can took it and said, "Huh? How come there are 910 points of energy in this bow? Oh! I understand, that's why the light you shoot has a hint of red... Let me try!"
"Hey! This is a short bow. Actually, shooting it requires some skills. An amateur would usually..."
whoosh whoosh whoosh~!
Sun Can took out three arrows from his back and shot them out in succession. Not only did they carry red energy, but they also had a layer of glazed magma-like outer skin, which made them look extremely hot!
Bang bang bang!
Three arrows passed through a hole and pierced through four walls in succession. Flames were still burning on the walls that they touched!
Sun Can put away his bow: "By the way, what did you say just now?"
"Uh... I said... Aba Aba~!"
"Oh, I heard it wrong. I just heard someone say that I am an amateur..."
Sun Can gently stroked the bow, he was very satisfied, "Okay, let's go!"
Pang Guang: "Huh? Where to?"
"Looking for the person who made this bow. I want him to make me some bows like this!"
"Oh... I'll take you away... Hey! Hey? Why am I caught again? Hey, hey, hey! I'll fly if I want to. Don't let a ghost like you who used to be a tentacle monster hold me!!!"
Sun Can and Pang Guang were picked up by two ghosts and flew away, heading straight for Home No. 1!
The following 10 skeletons are running for their lives.
…
"Why……"
At the Dragnet headquarters, Liu Jiannan, the head of the Equipment Section, sighed deeply as he looked at the report on the table. "What the hell is this? They just developed the carbon mesh protective suit and haven't even waited for the reward yet, but now they're saying the weapon isn't good enough and asking us when we can come up with a new weapon for the extraordinary people to use. This is outrageous, damn it! This is outrageous!"
This report was drafted by Shi Lai, the leader of the human observation group, and handed to him after Hu Shou signed it. The content above mainly describes the common problems reported by the superhumans under the Tianluodiwang and the local government: backward cold weapons. The Liquan Spear, the Spiral Blade, and the Corpse-Slaughtering Axe were very well designed, but now... they are out of date. Because the design strength at that time was designed according to the goal of killing ordinary zombies and evolved zombies. However, now the weakest ones outside are evolved zombies, and first-level evolved zombies often appear. The bodies of L1, T1, and first-level small zombies are all incredibly strong. These once zombie-killing artifacts have gradually weakened, just like the dating masters who once dominated the local area suddenly entered the European and American regions. The hardness that they were once proud of can no longer deal with more powerful enemies. Now they need to expand their strengths and continue to dig deeper!
The muscles of L1 zombies are like steel, and even bullets from assault rifles cannot penetrate them. The large pieces of meat of T1 zombies are incredibly elastic, covered with an energy film, and have extremely strong melee defense, so weapons cannot cut through them at all. The first-level small zombies may look small, but their body muscle density is amazing, and all kinds of weapons cannot penetrate them!
The other types of first-level zombies are easier to deal with. Their evolutionary directions are speed, flight, seed throwing, etc., not muscle strength, so they can still be dealt with.
"Ah~!" Liu Jiannan sighed again, "It's easy to say, but he wants a new type of weapon right away, and it has to be sharp and durable... and it has to be able to automatically restore its original sharpness! The last one is really outrageous, with a hot air balloon tied to his body, it's outrageous to the sky!"
Liu Jiannan's nose was almost crooked with anger. What the Tianluodiwang people said was becoming more and more unreliable. Current technology could indeed produce memory alloys, but... that kind of metal was not used in weapons at all. Most of it was used in connectors, antennas, thermistors and some high-tech medical micro-components. The output was very low, and the ability to withstand impact was not strong. If it was used to make swords, it might bend itself with one blow, and then... it would return to its original shape after a few days. It was not suitable for making swords, only for making staffs!
"What a fantasy! If there is really a weapon in this world that can automatically restore its sharpness, it must be the resurrection of spiritual energy! The weapons department can't do this, go to Kunlun Mountain to find a weapon refiner!"
After being angry for a while, Liu Jiannan looked at a concept written by Hu Shou , "Can the Equipment Department consider guiding the energy factors of the energy crystal core to cover the surface of the weapon, so as to achieve the effect of enhancing the power? In the future, the weapon can maintain continuous energy coverage by replacing the crystal core..."
Liu Jiannan thought this was a good idea. Hu Shou's idea was very similar to the idea of energy weapons they were currently researching. They both wanted to integrate extraordinary energy into the weapon manufacturing process. "Ah..." Liu Jiannan sighed again: "But in our experiment, the fusion of metal and energy got stuck... Who can solve this problem?"
"How about making a radio broadcast tonight and asking the whole country? I heard that the research institute has solved many scientific and technological problems with the help of a civilian scientific and technological expert. So... is it possible that there is a weapon refiner in the whole country waiting for me to discover him? Hehehehe~!"
Liu Jiannan had already imagined the various flying swords and magic weapons that had appeared in TV dramas. He thought that if he could make such equipment for his comrades in Tianluodiwang in his lifetime, he would die with no regrets. He shouted, "Swords!"
The flying sword came through the air!
Tsk tsk tsk! What kind of magical scene is that?
"Hurry up and find my weapon refiner! Although it's not very realistic, but...what if there is one?"
