Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Shipborne Main Gun
With the help of [Unseen Red Dust]'s [Phantom Eye], the two of them found traces of ghosts in the complicated tunnels.
Feeling the sense of danger coming from the end of the tunnel, Yang Dong didn't even greet [Unseen Red Dust] and instantly unleashed all of his firepower.
Title [Battlefield Fortress] skill activated.
[Young Taoist Green Moss], real name Yang Dong, is a former special forces officer.
During a vicious murder case, his team was severely injured by the criminals. Relying on his soldier king strength, Yang Dong narrowly escaped the first attack and quickly killed the suddenly powerful and bizarre offender, losing several comrades in the process.
However, this also made him a [Player] as the criminal was a [Player] too.
After obtaining extraordinary powers, Yang Dong reported it to the higher-ups and was transferred to the National Security Bureau's special task force [Great Wall], officially participating in the [Evolution Game].
Years of military experience allowed him to shine in the mission. He successfully used various firearms to hold off nearly a thousand zombies during a [Scripted Task], earning the title of [War Fortress].
By using the Title Skill, it will fire various kinds of ammunition at their respective powers and speeds.
It doesn't sound like much; ordinary people don't even have access to ammunition. Besides, how much ammunition can fit in a [Player Backpack]?
But he's different; he has the support of a whole nation's machinery.
His [Player Backpack] is filled with enough ammunition to make any military enthusiast drool - a total of seven slots.
Each slot in a [Player Backpack] is roughly the size of a shipping container.
However, different types of equipment cannot be placed in the same slot.
And ammunition... is naturally considered consumables.
So, he truly became a Battlefield Fortress. From tiny bullets to ship-mounted main cannons.
For example... right now!
An astonishing explosion and vibration occurred on the edge of the old campus, causing the entire campus to tremble.
In room 303, Yun Ting's warning had just faded, and her tone changed: "Damn, what kind of identities do you guys have to have such powerful firepower?"
She initially thought that Li Changhe and the others were exorcists or something, considering their strengths and mysterious abilities. Even seeing some of Li Changhe's memories, she didn't learn about the [Evolution Game].
"Shouldn't you be using peachwood swords to catch ghosts? Has Hua Country developed national high-tech ghost-catching in just over a decade?" Even though her face couldn't be seen, her shock could be detected from her tone, exclaiming "see a ghost" as a ghost... That was really something.
Of course, the [Players] weren't faring much better.
"Is that... a ship-mounted main cannon?" Earth Knight's eyes widened: "Has your [Great Wall] become so desperate to resort to using a battleship inside a [Player Backpack]?"
"It's Yang... Young Taoist Green Moss's skill. Using such powerful ammunition. The situation is dangerous; we better hurry!" Laughing Gentleman said quickly, grabbing the frozen decorative painting and running. Li Changhe, who was connected to the long hair, was pulled away a few steps with him.
Li Changhe was also surprised, but then thought about how Xiao Nan was protected by Yang Dong, meaning this girl might even be more powerful and important than Yang Dong!
"What exactly is this girl's Demon Armor?" Li Changhe muttered to himself and followed Laughing Gentleman's steps.
Earth Knight's face twitched, following the two and saying, "What's the point of going to an enemy that wasn't dealt with by that cannon?"
While saying that, he still closely followed and activated his full-body Western armor again.
If such ghosts aren't dealt with precisely during the task, that would be a major disaster!
The three of them, along with the ghost, dragged the decorative painting out of the teaching building just as another burst of dazzling fire erupted in the distance.
Li Changhe immediately activated [Eagle Eye], vaguely seeing two people shouting something in the fire. As one of them waved, a row of fires shot out behind him, followed by an even brighter light and a more intense vibration. Was that Yang Dong? The one next to him should be Unseen Red Dust. What were they fighting against?
Li Changhe's pupils shrank for a moment.
"Uncle, did you see something?" Earth Knight's voice came from behind the helmet, having exposed his face in front of the two due to necessity, but now hiding it again.
Li Changhe didn't respond but slowly looked up with [Eagle Eye] activated, cold sweat forming instantly. In the brief moment when the fire shone, he saw an incredible silhouette.
Then he exclaimed, "Holy shit!"
Earth Knight and Laughing Gentleman also slowly looked up. They had already sensed that suffocating feeling...
A mountain-like huge black skeleton flickered in and out of sight in the light of the cannon.
"Class A ghost?" Earth Knight almost collapsed: "Why would someone like me, who isn't even level 10, encounter something like this?"
"It can't be Class A!" Laughing Gentleman muttered: "They are watched... It's... Class B, maybe... or even lower..."
"Is there a difference? Are we discussing whether it's more comfortable to be blown up by an atomic bomb or a hydrogen bomb? Can't both kill us?" Earth Knight roared: "We can't complete this task, let's go!"
"We can't leave. Since it's not a Class A, we have a chance to fight." Laughing Gentleman responded, then grabbed the painting and said, "You stay back; the team leader should be able to handle the ghosts in this painting. I'm going to help!"
Without giving others a chance to react, he ran over tens of meters away in an instant. The Demon Armor's enhancement was thorough, even Earth Knight's attributes after the enhancement couldn't catch up.
"What should we do? Should we leave?" Earth Knight gasped.
Li Changhe didn't respond but asked, "Is this the thing underground that you mentioned?"
The phantom behind him replied, "When I first became a ghost, I saw him once. At that time, he was only the size of a regular person and half-skeleton, but it made me feel like I was going to be eaten. So, I've been hiding in room 303 ever since... The situation in the painting is a bit special. The person inside has no rationality, and as long as their back is turned, they are usually dead. But even so, the painting doesn't dare to mess around. Even though they lack reason and can't communicate, they are still scared by the half-skeleton and only dare to act fiercely within the art room."
"Twenty years ago, it was the size of a normal person, and now it's over ten meters tall. What kind of calcium pills is it taking? Damn, cutting the back of its neck wouldn't work either." Li Changhe complained and ran towards Yang Dong and the others.
Earth Knight was so angry that he wanted to curse but had no choice but to follow. Running, he suddenly asked, "Uncle, do you know Laughing Gentleman?"
Li Changhe's body stiffened. Earth Knight wasn't an idiot. Comparing Li Changhe's previous tone with the tone after Laughing Gentleman appeared, he knew there was something fishy. More importantly, when Laughing Gentleman was seriously weakened and couldn't support himself, Uncle Eight-direction voluntarily accepted Yun Ting...
Thinking about it that way, it was quite obvious... plus, Xiao Nan probably sensed something too. Her attitude allowed Earth Knight to instantly understand the situation.
"I don't know what your relationship is, but there's no point in rushing over. She's a Demon Armor owner and can burst out the power of the Demon God when necessary. She'll survive, at least. What about you? Hurry back! Didn't you understand her last tone?" Earth Knight persuaded. Not all [Players] were calculating people. He didn't want this interesting guy to die just like that.
