My Post-Apocalyptic Territory

Ahead, inside the pit.

The ground was littered with the mutilated corpses of demonic beasts, some of which had disappeared completely.

A few demonic beasts, though severely injured, still struggled to pounce due to their tenacious vitality.

This tenacious vitality and fearlessness in the face of death sent chills down the spines of many patrol members.

Fortunately, Director Tang is very capable.

They looked at the arrow towers around them and the cannons behind them, and immediately felt safe.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They were preparing to go down to clean up the battlefield, collect materials from the mutated beasts, and dig out source crystals.

This is the patrol team's procedure for each mission: first, eliminate the enemy, then collect the spoils... For missions like this, the spoils need to be handed over, but they have no complaints. Based on their contributions, each person can earn a sum of contribution points for each mission. Moreover, they know that if they hadn't been lucky enough to join the patrol team, most of them would be no different from those struggling Awakened Ones.

Just as someone was about to jump into the pit, they heard Luo Zhe's voice, "Wait, everyone stay alert, and change the ammunition for your weapons and equipment first."

When the patrol members saw Captain Luo and the other experts from the shelter all looking grave, they knew something was wrong.

Could it be that the demonic beasts haven't all been wiped out yet?

Suddenly, the ground beneath the pit began to bulge up in sections, as if something were burrowing underground.

"Shoot that thing out."

Machine gun bullets hit the ground, raising dust, but had no effect whatsoever.

The arrows from the arrow tower struck the soil without causing any reaction.

Tang Yu controlled the cannon, and a blazing energy ball blasted towards the raised ground. However, the creature below seemed to have eyes and quickly turned a corner, avoiding the cannon's attack.

"I'll do it!"

Shay roared, his muscles bulging, his suit ripped open, revealing the tight-fitting combat suit underneath.

He grabbed a rock the size of a car from the side and threw it violently.

In mid-air, the rocks shattered into small stones, which fell to the ground in a very regular manner, completely enveloping the raised area of ​​the ground.

Rumble!

It was like a meteor shower hitting the ground, or like bombers dropping bombs from the sky.

The ground was blasted into craters, and soil mixed with rubble was blown into the air.

This is Shay's special ability: anything he touches can be transformed into a bomb.

A true explosion maniac!

This time, many of the territory's high-end combat forces were also mobilized for this mining operation.

The three new followers strongly requested to participate... Followers are also human, and now that they are under Tang Yu's command, they naturally want to show their value, so they all came along. As the captain of the patrol team, Luo Zhe is also indispensable, so only Yilian can be left alone to guard the territory.

Under Shay's ferocious bombardment, the creature underground was finally blasted out.

It was a worm-like monster with no visible eyes. Its mouth opened and closed, and several tentacles twitched around it as it did so.

Although it was forced out by Shay, the worm monster was not seriously injured. It opened and closed its mouth, spewing out a thick pillar of fire.

"Be careful, this guy has the strength of the sixth level of Awakening!"

Luo Zhe drew his sword, and a thick red light gathered on its blade.

With a single slash of his sword, the thick pillar of fire was cleaved apart, and sparks fell onto the surrounding ground, leaving charred marks.

At this moment, the arrow towers beside the pit also began to attack.

The arrow was incredibly fast; a black shadow flashed by, and it pierced through the worm's body.

Before the patrol members could even feel a surge of joy, they saw that the worm, whose body had been pierced with a small hole, was acting as if nothing had happened, its mouth still opening and closing.

Tang Yu could tell that this was due to the worm's unique body structure; unless the worm's vital points were found, arrow attacks would hardly cause any damage.

He also tried controlling the arrow towers to attack the worm's mouth or tentacles, but it was still no use. He tried controlling the cannons to attack, but because he was not fast enough, the worms nimbly dodged them.

This worm-like demon beast... Tang Yu felt that it was much smarter than ordinary demon beasts. If it were just an ordinary demon beast, charging up mindlessly, even with the strength of the sixth level of awakening, it would have been dealt with long ago.

Below, more and more demonic beasts rushed out from under the roots of the giant tree.

"I'll do it!"

Shay volunteered, removed some of the torn pieces of his suit that were still clinging to his body, and stepped forward.

He watched the worm wriggling around, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.

After arriving in this world, he finally broke through the fifth level of awakening after a long time, and successfully entered a new level.

This worm is just the right opponent for him to test his strength after his breakthrough.

Then, Shay pulled out a metal rod about half a meter long from somewhere on his body.

The metal rod continued to extend and deform, and soon it became a huge multi-barreled rotary machine gun, which he carried on his shoulder.

This machine gun looks somewhat similar to a Gatling gun, but it is much larger. Shay is already quite burly, but next to this huge machine gun, he suddenly looks small.

No wonder Shay is so strong. Although he's not a warrior, he's been carrying stones and weapons for a long time. It would be strange if he didn't build up some muscle.

With a series of clicking sounds, Shay's weapon was fully extended.

He aimed at the worm and fired, the barrel spinning, bullets shooting out like a torrent.

To the naked eye, it looked like a barrage of metal bullets had formed in mid-air.

The worm-like demon beast also sensed the threat and moved nimbly, even trying to burrow underground to avoid the attack.

However, the next moment, where Shay's bullet struck, bursts of fire and explosions erupted.

This is a style unique to Shay: the Frenzied Bombardment style.

A typical musketeer uses their mental energy to imbue the bullets, thereby enhancing their power and increasing their range. However, the greater the power, the more mental energy is required. While it's not impossible to imbue so many bullets with mental energy, the resulting power boost would be very weak.

For a berserker-style playstyle like Shay's, if you want to maintain high damage output, you need to switch to more expensive rune bullets... This is an expensive job. In Shay's world, musketeers are generally considered an aristocratic profession.

Unlike the noble profession of mage, which is often held only by high-ranking nobles due to its lineage, the musketeer profession is much more straightforward: what's the point of playing a musketeer if you don't have the money?

Shay was once just a mercenary, not very wealthy. He became a musketeer, not because he chose the wrong profession, but because his ability to touch explosions could be extended to bullets through weapons.

It has both power and doesn't cost money; it's a complete mudslide in the hands of musket enthusiasts.

Each of his bullets was equivalent to a hand grenade. The individual power might not be great, but with a firing rate of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, it was like firing tens of thousands of cannons in a minute. In just a few seconds, the ground was already riddled with holes.

The worm hissed, trying to burrow into the ground, but it was no use; it was completely engulfed by the exploding bullets.

Even as it opened its mouth, intending to spew flames, before it could even prepare, a bullet pierced its mouth, and it slumped to the ground like a dead worm. Shay didn't let it go, firing his machine gun in a continuous barrage from the worm's head to its tail before reluctantly stopping.

The spinning barrel gradually stopped. Shay placed the massive weapon on the ground, leaned against it, rummaged through his pocket for a pack of cigarettes, pulled out a carton, lit it with his ability, put it in his mouth, and puffed out clouds of smoke without even glancing at the dead worm.
