Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Captain, we can contact The Lighthouse now!”

Mark’s excited voice came from Gao Fei’s wrist guard.

Hearing Mark’s news, Gao Fei looked at his surroundings.

The convoy had left the ruins of the city and arrived in the wilderness. The strange plants that were scattered all over the city had disappeared.

“It seems that the reason why the signal is not stable may be related to that plant,” Gao Fei said to Mark.

“Hmm, maybe the spores scattered in the air affected the signal transmission. After returning to The Lighthouse this time, I’ll go back to the research institute to take a look.”

Mark’s voice was rarely serious.

It was also at this time that Su Chen learned from their conversation that Mark was actually a researcher in The Lighthouse’s research institute!

Sure enough, there were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Gao Fei’s team!

The slowly moving lighthouse lowered the receiving platform when the motorcade approached.

Along with the roar of metal movement, the huge metal platform was lowered, about ten meters away from the ground.

“Prepare to ignite!” Gao Fei said to the drivers of the other two vehicles.

Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Gu Xin hurriedly fastened their seatbelts. Su Chen, who had worked in the vehicle maintenance department, knew too well what was about to happen!

As Gao Fei’s voice fell, a huge ejector port appeared on the chassis of the three vehicles.

“Boom!”

With a loud bang, Su Chen felt a strong push on his back!

The three off-road vehicles actually flew up from the ground in unison and accelerated toward the receiving platform placed by the lighthouse!

This was the masterpiece of the vehicle maintenance department!

All the vehicles in The Lighthouse were equipped with powerful thrusters.

They could be used for a short period of time.

Although they could not make the vehicles fly, they were very useful for crossing some complicated terrain!

With the ejection device, the vehicles could enter and leave the lighthouse very quickly, greatly increasing the mobility of the vehicles!

As for why Su Chen knew so clearly, another reason was that the vehicles needed to be repaired, and a large part of it also came from this function.

Before this, after every exploration operation, it was the most painful time for the entire maintenance department.

“Clang!”

Accompanied by a strong sense of weightlessness, the three vehicles finally landed on the receiving platform.

After a day, they returned to The Lighthouse!

As the receiving platform slowly rose, everyone also got down from their vehicles.

The rest of the work was left to the workers in the base to finish up. As for the harvest of this operation, Mark had finished counting them on the way back and reported them to the lighthouse.

“Wan Ling? Feeling better?”

Gao Fei asked.

Su Chen, who had just gotten off the car, looked up and saw Wan Ling being supported by Mark as he walked down with flighty steps.

From the looks of it, the aftereffects of consuming too much of one’s spirit attribute special ability had yet to be completely eliminated.

Wan Ling responded softly. It could be considered as telling Gao Fei that she was not a big problem. Then, she started to scan her surroundings.

When she saw Su Chen, her eyes lit up.

She staggered as she tried to walk toward Su Chen.

Seeing a great beauty walking toward him, Gu Xin immediately became excited. He used his elbow to nudge Su Chen and said in a low voice, “It can’t be that because you saved her, that she wants to marry you, right?”

Su Chen’s face was full of black lines. What was this fatty thinking about all day?

At most, he just wanted to express his gratitude. However, having a beautiful sister to thank him was not bad.

Just as Su Chen was thinking about this, Wan Ling had already arrived in front of him.

When Wan Ling stood in front of Su Chen, she hesitated as if she did not know how to speak.

When Su Chen saw her like this, he was instantly shocked. Gu Xin could not have guessed correctly, right?!

Women would only stop him from becoming stronger!

He was still a good young man who wanted to conquer the beacon of destruction in the wasteland!

At this time, Wan Ling finally spoke as if she had made up her mind. “That… the bullets you used to kill the bull should have been modified, right?”

Su Chen was speechless

This script was not right!

Wan Ling’s question was completely out of Su Chen’s expectations!

For a moment, he really did not know how to answer.

Should he say it or not?

Wan Ling had really guessed correctly. When Su Chen attacked the bull, the bullets he used were indeed specially made using the tools of the maintenance factory.

The standard weapons of the workers usually carried sharp bullets to break through the Origin Beasts’ defenses as much as possible.

The bullets that Su Chen used at that time were used to flatten the bullets and cut them with a crossguard knife. By reducing the length of the bullets, they increased the amount of gunpowder in the bullets.

In this way, when the bullets hit the target, they could cause a small explosion, and the scattered shrapnel could cause secondary damage.

However, this modified bullet was only an experiment of Su Chen. The rate of explosion was extremely high, so it was not suitable for most people to use.

Only people like Su Chen, who relied on his strong eyesight and focused on shooting, were suitable to use it.

However, judging from the results, it was obviously useless. It did not have much effect against the petrified centipedes, and its lethality was not even as good as standard bullets.

The time he attacked the bull could only be considered as luck.

At the very least, that was what Su Chen thought.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Su Chen said hesitantly, “The bullets I used were indeed different, but to be able to have an effect on the bull, it could only be considered good luck.

“The principle is to reduce the penetration of the bullet while increasing the force-bearing area of the bullet and the capacity of the gunpowder, so that when it hits the target, it can cause an explosion and scatter shrapnel.

“If you continue shooting this way, it is very easy to cause the gun to explode.

“Moreover, your bullet is condensed from spiritual power. My method shouldn’t be of any use to you, right?”

Wan Ling’s bullet was constructed from spiritual power. This was also the reason why Su Chen felt strange about her question.

Unexpectedly, after Wan Ling heard Su Chen’s words, her eyes lit up a little!

The side effects brought by the exhaustion of spiritual power seemed to have disappeared at this moment, as if she had discovered a new world.

She kept recording the contents of Su Chen’s words on her wrist guard.

As if she could see the doubt in Su Chen’s eyes, Wan Ling opened her mouth to explain, “My spiritual bullets are produced by my own control. Simply putting it, I can completely make spiritual bullets according to my own wishes.

“All I need to do is compress the spiritual energy contained within each bullet and change the shape of the bullet. Then, I can achieve the effect you mentioned. This way, I can have a more powerful attack method.

“And there’s no risk of the bullet exploding.”

Su Chen suddenly understood. Evolvers had many different abilities, and he knew too little about them.

Thinking about how the horrifying Wan Ling’s heavy machine gun that could use such high explosive bullets without limit, Su Chen could not help but mourn for any Origin Beast.

“All in all, thank you for this time.” After saying that, Wan Ling turned around and left, leaving Mark and Su Chen, who were still in the same spot, dumbfounded.

“This is the first time I’ve seen Wan Ling thank someone. What exactly happened to you guys in there?” Mark looked at the beauty who left with a pained expression.

He already knew that Su Chen had awakened his superpower. According to Captain Gao Fei, Su Chen was very likely to become Mark’s future teammate.

Therefore, the conversation between him and Su Chen had unknowingly become equal.

After all, they had all seen Su Chen’s performance in this mission.

From the perspective of an employee, Su Chen’s performance in this mission could be said to be perfect.

Just as Mark was inquiring about the contents of the final battle, the receiving platform finally returned to the lighthouse.

When everyone saw the old man standing outside the receiving platform, even Mark’s expression, who had always been smiling mischievously, became much more serious.

There was no other reason as the person who came was none other than The Lighthouse’s leadership, led by Shi Hao.
