Chapter 1279 Your gun, to kill my god? You dare to!
Murong Yan took the uniquely shaped energy rifle, a cool metallic feel spreading through her palm.
The gun body is made of an unknown alloy, with smooth lines that exude a kind of cold, futuristic aesthetic, making it out of place with any weapon of this era.
She tried to imitate Lin Zhen, resting the butt of the gun against her shoulder and looking into the distance through the simple scope.
"Husband, how...how do we control this thing?"
She could sense a raging beast of energy slumbering within that short rifle, but she didn't know the incantation to awaken it.
"It's very simple."
Lin Zhen's laughter rang out from behind her, and the next moment his entire body covered her from behind, completely enveloping her in his shadow.
He showed no tenderness whatsoever, but rather, with an absolute possessiveness, he rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder, his hot breath precisely spraying onto her sensitive earlobe.
Murong Yan's heart suddenly tightened, and a tingling shiver shot from her tailbone straight to the top of her head, making her pretty face turn red instantly, yet she dared not struggle in the slightest.
"Do you see that red switch on the gun?"
His deep voice, with its irresistible magic, resonated in her ears.
Murong Yan nodded subconsciously.
"Hold it down and aim it at the biggest rock in front of you."
Murong Yan did as she was told.
The instant your fingertip presses down.
"Om-"
A low buzzing sound rang out, and the blue crystal at the muzzle of the gun suddenly lit up, as if a miniature star had been ignited!
A chilling energy surge made the surrounding air thicken!
"shot."
Lin Zhen's voice was calm and cold, as if he were issuing a divine decree.
Without further hesitation, Murong Yan swiftly pulled the trigger!
"laugh!"
There was no loud bang, no explosion.
Only a thin, blue beam of light tore through the night, instantly piercing through the house-sized boulder a hundred meters away!
Under the horrified gaze of everyone, a hole the size of a bowl silently appeared in the center of that hard granite.
The inner walls of the hole were as smooth as a mirror, shimmering with a glassy luster formed by the instantaneous high temperature melting under the firelight, like a work of art from hell.
Bizarre, and deadly!
The camp was deathly silent, with only gasps of shock echoing through the air.
All the soldiers and pirates of the Great Qian Dynasty felt their scalps tingle!
What kind of magic is this?
It pierced through a stone mountain without a sound!
If this hit a person, it probably wouldn't even leave a handful of ash!
When they looked again at the bound Nihilists prisoners, their eyes were filled for the first time with the fear of surviving a catastrophe.
They had just survived a group of enemies wielding these "magical artifacts"!
Murong Yan was also stunned.
She stared blankly at the "murder weapon" in her hand, her beautiful phoenix eyes first filled with disbelief and shock, then ignited two flames... called "excitement"!
Her blood was boiling!
She fell in love with the feeling!
This feeling of supreme power, having the power to decide destruction and life and death in one's own hands!
"So, Yan'er, did you like this magic trick?"
Lin Zhen looked at her obsessive expression of power and asked in a low voice with a smile.
"I love it!" Murong Yan nodded emphatically, her beautiful cheeks flushed with excitement. "Husband, this thing... can we make it?"
She instantly understood that this thing's strategic value far exceeded that of the "Doomsday Judgment"!
Heavy artillery is a vital national asset and a deterrent.
And this energy rifle is the power to change the nature of warfare and overturn the entire world...
Once mass production begins, the army of the Great Qian Dynasty will no longer be an army of ordinary people.
They will be gods!
“Not now.” Lin Zhen shook his head, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes. “It needs two things: a stable, high-density energy source, and superconducting materials that can withstand energy shocks.”
"With the current foundation of the Great Qian Dynasty, it is still far from sufficient."
"but……"
He abruptly changed the subject, and a fox-like cunning gleam once more appeared in his deep eyes.
His gaze fell on the trembling "nihilistic" prisoners kneeling on the ground, especially on the few people wearing white research coats.
"We can't make it ourselves."
"But we can have them build it for us."
The curve of his lips was cold and full of calculation.
"Yue Fei, bring those men in white coats over here."
"Yes!"
……
Night is deep.
When Lin Zhen stepped out of the interrogation tent, his face showed a hint of fatigue, but deep in his eyes burned a flame of solemnity and excitement.
"Husband?"
Murong Yan, who had been waiting outside, immediately came forward to greet them.
"We got some interesting results." Lin Zhen exhaled, a hint of amusement in his voice. "The situation is... much bigger than we thought."
Based on the fragmented testimonies of the researchers who were interrogated separately and betrayed each other, Lin Zhen pieced together a crazy truth.
The so-called "Nihilism Party" is not an organization.
It is a loose alliance composed of transmigrators from different "parallel worlds," with numerous factions vying for power.
Their common goal is to find a legendary object scattered across countless worlds—the "Core of the World".
Legend has it that it is the cornerstone of a world, and obtaining it grants unimaginable power.
The group that cooperated with the East India Company was only a relatively weak branch. Their creation of the black mist to control the sea monsters was not for conquest, but rather a primitive form of "clearing the field," clearing obstacles for them to find the "core of the world."
The arrival of Lin Zhen and his uninvited guests completely disrupted their plans.
After listening to Lin Zhen's story, Murong Yan felt that her worldview had been repeatedly crushed and rebuilt by her husband in just a few days.
Parallel worlds? A transmigrator alliance? The core of the world?
She looked at Lin Zhen, her beautiful phoenix eyes filled with shock, confusion, and a hint of... an increasingly strong possessiveness.
She suddenly realized that the chasm between herself and her husband was not insurmountable.
As long as you can stand by his side, witness these mythical secrets with him, and even wield this power yourself, that chasm will become a bridge connecting you!
Just as her heart was filled with turmoil.
A sudden change occurs!
call out!call out!call out!
Dozens of crimson beams, thinner and faster than before, shot out from the darkness surrounding the camp without warning, like the fangs of a viper!
Their target was Lin Zhen and Murong Yan in the center of the camp!
"court death!"
Lin Zhen's eyes instantly turned cold, without the slightest hint of panic.
He didn't even push Murong Yan away; he simply pulled her into his arms, turned around, and faced the dozens of deadly death rays with his back!
Murong Yan's breathing stopped!
However, the expected scene of blood and gore did not occur!
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!"
A series of crisp, metallic sounds rang out!
Those red beams of light, powerful enough to melt rocks, seemed to have struck an invisible wall of sighs the moment they touched Lin Zhen's back!
