Ark Journey

A beam of light shot out, so bright that it obscured the light around Xue Zhi.

"Laser weapons... Very good! Your technical capabilities did not disappoint! Let me see its power!"

Looking at the light passing by, Xue Zhi suddenly burst into laughter, and then bumped into it herself.

In the dazzling light, the captain squinted his eyes and shouted:

"Report the situation!"

"Successful hit!"

The weapon operator also shouted, but he wondered if he was dazzled, because he clearly saw that the shooting angle was a little off, and the fact that all the shots were hit seemed to be the target crashing into it by itself.

The soldiers on the ground exclaimed in amazement at the light; it was the first time they saw such a weapon.

The radiation lasted for a few seconds before it died down. After the light dissipated, the huge amount of heat caused minor damage to the equipment on the entire ship.

Many heat sinks were opened on the battleship, and the heat dissipation medium turned into steam and was discharged. Suddenly, the entire battleship was engulfed in white smoke.

Chapter 11: Mine

It was pitch black, with only the emergency lights on as the captain directed the work in various places.

"Restore combat capability as soon as possible and report the target situation."

The observer, who was issued with a separate observation device, replaced various temporarily inoperative devices, looked around, and began to report the situation.

"The target disappears...wait, the target is still there!"

However, just as he opened his mouth, a glimmer of light appeared in the corner of his eye.

Xue Zhi, who had just withstood a laser, reappeared at the front of the bridge, unharmed.

The captain also saw him, which made him suspect that there was something wrong with his eyes.

"What!?"

In previous experiments, the power of this weapon was enough to penetrate the armor of the Imperial Fleet's flagship with a single blow, even when it was equipped on a platform such as a frigate, which had a relatively low energy output.

Xue Zhi was in very good condition. He had just successfully resisted the direct attack of a laser weapon with a piece of solid ice, and even stretched out his hand to try it out.

The result was very gratifying. This level of laser did not have the ability to cause damage to his body.

Now his idea is to grab this thing and see how it works.

Breaking the glass, Xue Zhi slowly floated in.

"Very good weapon. I will give you a choice to survive. Abandon ship."

The captain's face flushed instantly when he heard this.

This is a great insult to the "Navy". Saying such words to the captain when there is no major damage to the ship and all the people on board is no less insulting than throwing the Emperor of the Earth into the Amazon rainforest.

"Don't even think about it!"

"Stubborn."

Facing the captain's roar, Xue Zhi shrugged, and then her expression turned cold.

"All destinies are your own choices, remember that."

After uttering these words, a large number of ice spikes instantly pierced every place where people were in the battleship.

For a moment, the strong smell of blood filled the entire bridge.

His mental power extended out, and several huge ice blades appeared beside Xue Zhi.

The entire battleship was of little value, so he wanted to cut it into pieces and then select the usable parts, such as the energy source and weapon systems.

The soldiers outside the battleship didn't know what was happening yet, and they cheered that the enemy had been defeated.

But then the loud noise from the frigate interrupted their actions.

"What happened?"

"I do not know."

No one answered the call, but the communications soldier, who knew in advance that the new weapon would have such consequences, did not think much about it.

However, the next second, a huge steel plate suddenly fell from the battleship.

After taking a moment to determine the location of the energy and weapon systems, Xue Zhi began to take action.

He left the battleship and began to command the sharp ice knives to begin the operation.

"He's not dead!"

"What!?"

Cries of surprise rang out one after another, and the soldiers with their feet on the ground didn't know what to do for a moment.

People with sharp eyes have already seen a large amount of blood flowing out from the place where the warship was split.

"He killed everyone in the battleship!"

The smarter ones even thought of what Xue Zhi was doing.

"We must stop him from stealing the empire's technological gem!"

So these soldiers began to attack Xue Zhi.

Because they knew he could fly, these people carried a lot of weapons that could attack from the ground to high altitudes.

Sensing an incoming weapon, Xue Zhi looked down.

"Hmm? You want to die, huh?"

Originally he didn't want to kill these people, but there was nothing to say since they were looking for death.

Several small balls fell to the ground, blowing them upside down.

Then, thick lightning struck, moving through the crowd like a dragon. Huge amounts of electric current passed through their bodies, killing those who survived the explosion.

"Life is hard to come by, but if you don't know how to cherish it, then die."

After dealing with these people, Xue Zhi devoted her energy to dismantling the battleship.

The ice blades, which were two people tall, were extremely sharp. Under Xue Zhi's precise manipulation, they seemed to be a piece of cake, and even very delicate work could be handled well.

The non-existent pipelines are directly cut off, leaving only the most core parts.

Xue Zhi did think of using the architect's workbench to copy this thing, but this kind of battleship was not of much use to him, and there would be plenty of opportunities to encounter it in the future.

A few minutes later, the violent dismantling was over, and two huge devices floated into the air, with a pile of shattered warship debris below.

"Done. Hopefully, I can come up with something good out of this stuff."

After putting them into the warehouse, Xue Zhi left without looking back, even though there were still a few living people among the corpses below.

Seeing the King of Hell leave, the man pretending to be dead immediately got up.

He looked at the defense line that Xue Zhi had left, his body still shaking uncontrollably.

"Sokka, who on earth have we offended?"

After flying for another night and a day, Xue Zhi finally found a chance to rest.

The further south he went, the denser the vegetation became. He built a cabin in a small forest and hunted a prey.

Looking at the meat roasting on the fire and making crackling sounds, Xue Zhi said with emotion:

“This is the life people should live.”

Calculating the time, he has been away from the Reunion Movement for more than ten days, and he doesn't know how they are doing, but with the cover of the Weather Core, as long as his luck is not too bad, there should be no problem.

After finishing the barbecue, Xue Zhi lay down on the bed and soon fell asleep.

At seven o'clock the next morning, after a good sleep, he woke up and heard something scratching the wall.

After going out, I found that it was a bear-like creature, which is called the Rift Beast in Terra.

Then this thing became Xue Zhi's breakfast. It must be said that the bear's right paw, which was used to dig the soil, tasted really good.

After offering sacrifices to her internal organs, Xue Zhi dismantled the sleeping room and continued to fly southeast.

On the other side, in the command room of a fleet in Ursus, a senior officer was furious.

"You said that guy destroyed the entire fleet and everyone on it, and stole all our new weapons!?"

"Yes, sir!"

The soldier in front of him stood straight, not afraid at all, because there was enough evidence to support what he said, and even if a battle of this level was unfavorable, it would not be blamed on a small soldier like him.

The senior officer was panting. There were dozens of photos on his desk, all of which were taken of the battle the night before.

Staying angry is not a solution, the officer sat down dejectedly on the chair and asked again:

"He's the only one?"

Faced with this question, the soldier hesitated for a moment, then answered:

"I saw only him."

"you sure?"

"I'm sure, sir!"

"Okay, go back and rest, and don't tell anyone about this."

"Yes!"

After the soldiers left, the officer sat on the chair and pressed his brows.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he made a phone call.

"Send the messenger to me."

Chapter 12: Picketing

Xue Zhi didn't know that a huge siege was being prepared. He was now walking in a forest.

He had just made up his mind to go to Yumen, and now he changed direction under the guidance.

It is the gateway between Yan Country and Ursus, and also the first line of defense against evil spirits, so he plans to go and take a look.

As he walked, he suddenly saw wisps of smoke rising from cooking fires.

"There's a village? Let's go check it out."

When she got closer, Xue Zhi noticed several people wearing breathing masks and gray coats who were also walking towards the village.

"Infected patrol team? This village is made up of infected people? No, if that's the case, they are not a patrol team but an army. There must be infected people in the village."

In small villages like this, because of the close relationship and the lack of knowledge among the villagers, the attitudes towards the infected are somewhat polarized.

Some, like the one who ambushed Tallulah before, wish all the infected to die, while some treat the infected no differently from normal people.

Following this group of people, Xue Zhi entered the village.

Most of the villagers were in a panic when they saw the patrol team coming, as if they had encountered a flood or a beast, but they did not dare to hide back home, otherwise they would be in big trouble if they were labeled as infected.

In the middle of the village, a middle-aged man in his forties came up to us.

"I wonder what business the adults have for coming here?"

He also glanced at Xue Zhi, but he shifted his gaze after Xue Zhi took the initiative to distance herself from the patrol personnel.

Those patrols spoke very harshly.

"You're asking even though you already know the answer. We've received a report that there's an infected person in your village. Hand him over quickly, or you'll be in trouble."

The middle-aged man explained with a smile:

"Sir, this is a misunderstanding. There are no Originium mines around our village, so how could there be infected people?"

As he spoke, Xue Zhi also saw him secretly handing a small piece of rough gold to a patrol officer.

This action made the patrols' eyes light up.

He put away the gold in silence and then spoke in a calmer voice.

"That's right, but let's check it out in the village."

"As you please, sir."
