Chapter 039 The Function of the Phantom Stone

There were about 50 people on the other side, but there was a sense of stairs as they moved. Under the layers of firepower, those phantom creatures couldn't get close at all.

Seeing the reinforcements appear, everyone burst into tears of joy and rushed out from the ruins to join them.

However, these people came to the ruins first, and each of them carried food or ammunition until they could no longer fit.

This is obviously a robbery.

But now everyone’s lives are almost gone, so let’s just rob.

However, the fat woman refused to give up. She luckily crawled out of the ruins and saw this situation. She first had an incredible look in her eyes, and then cried to these people:

"You can't do this. All this food is used to exchange for bullets. Without bullets, we in West City Garden can't survive."

She wanted to step forward to stop them, but no one listened to her, and the people in West City Garden tried their best to persuade her.

Lu Xi held her tightly, her face full of anxiety, "Sister Xiwang, we can't beat them, let's go back first, and then we will organize a team to come back."

Supervisor Qixia and hunting team leader Qifeng didn't care about this and quickly came to the middle of the strange team. After all, it was safe here.

However, Luo Xiu and Feng Yu felt that this team was very friendly. Although the armor they wore was very worn out and there were traces of other parts being patched, they could still vaguely see the other party's former identity.

Soldiers from Zhulong District.

Feng Yu walked into the team in his military uniform and found the commander of the army.

"I'm a pilot from the Tianyun battleship. I came here unexpectedly. I'm Private First Class Feng Yu."

The big man wearing ordinary armor had long and thin scars all over his face, as if he had been scratched by the claws of a wild beast, especially his head, which was also like a light bulb.

With a surprised expression, he stretched out his hand, "Sergeant, Meng Liang."

Then he looked at Luo Xiu who was standing beside him.

"Wilderness sniper, private first class, Luo Xiu."

Luo Xiu also stretched out his left hand and shook hands with the other party.

When Luo Xiu mentioned his profession, Feng Yu and Meng Liang in front of him all looked surprised.

Meng Liang then looked at Luo Xiu's equipment, especially the bird-blasting sniper rifle, which made his eyes suddenly light up.

"Heavy sniper rifle! This is really great, Luo Xiu, quickly join the battle and let me see your strength."

At this moment, Kuanlang also crawled out from the ruins. When he saw Meng Liang, he thought he was Luo Xiu's boss, so he immediately ran over to complain.

"Sir, I want to sue this guy for stealing my weapon. The bird-blasting sniper rifle is mine. He must return it to me, apologize to me, and compensate me for my mental damages."

Meng Liang turned his head and looked at him puzzledly, "Who are you?"

"I'm the number one mercenary in Motan City, Kuanlang." Kuanlang saluted quickly, trying to get closer to the commander in front of him.

"Oh, nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Meng Liang said casually, then looked at Luo Xiu, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and join the battle. We will be evacuating soon."

Watching the two people leave naturally, Kuanlang looked at Meng Liang in confusion, "Sir, my gun."

"I've been requisitioned." Meng Liang patted his shoulder. "The battle is too intense now. Please understand. But after the battle, I will definitely make the decision for you."

When Kuanlang heard this, he didn't expect that he still had a chance to get his gun back. He was immediately delighted and said , " Thank you, sir. I will always wait for you. By the way, do you need my help?"

Meng Liang originally just wanted to be perfunctory, but seeing that the other party was so serious, he still wanted to help.

That's so embarrassing.

"Okay, there are guns all over the ground, just grab one and join the fight."

At this time, the roar of gunfire rang out again. Commander Meng Liang turned his head and saw a huge blood flower appearing in the void in the distance.

A huge heavy object fell heavily to the ground.

Afterwards, all the surrounding phantom species made sad and shrill sounds, and they rushed forward to bite the corpse on the ground.

Thus, they became living targets for everyone, and many were killed at once.

[Kill the Phantom Wild Mother and gain 180 merit points]

Luo Xiu retracted the bird-blasting sniper rifle, then ran forward and sprayed out a stream of flame with a metal torch, setting the corpse of the Phantom Wild Species Mother on fire. Of course, he did not let the Blade Blood Hound go either.

The corpses of these higher-level wild beasts are likely to allow the next batch of wild beasts to evolve, so naturally they all have to be burned.

After doing all this, the main force did not linger any longer and packed up before heading north.

Without their leader, the Phantom Wild Race became a loose group, attacking the human formation in groups of two or three, but were unable to shake it at all.

The team soon arrived at the northern 'wall' where a tunnel had been dug. They followed it to the other end, which was a gas station.

The gas station occupies a huge area, with hundreds of gas stations neatly arranged on both sides of the road.

On the other side is the gas station shop, which has been converted into a residence with the top floor serving as a defensive position.

Apart from the gas station, everything else here is either ruins or towering walls.

The total available area is very small, and there are many small strongholds like this in Mo Tan City, all of which are small forces that are not worthy of being on the surface.

During the communication, we learned that this force was a reinforcement sent twenty years after the start of the interstellar war, but later the road was cut off and they were forgotten here, leaving them with only a small force to barely survive.

Arriving at this base, Luo Xiu and Feng Yu were brought into a lounge. Judging from its spacious appearance, it must be Commander Meng Liang's bedroom.

"You guys take a seat first."

Meng Liang casually took out an expired can of fruit from the closet and threw it over.

"Do you know when the main force will arrive?"

Luo Xiu took it casually and sat down beside the bed.

But it was Feng Yu who answered him, "We ... don't know."

"I don't know?" Meng Liang sighed deeply after getting this answer.

He has been here for too long and really wants to go back.

Luo Xiu looked at the date on the fruit and answered casually:

"Now that the interstellar war is over, the Zhulong City District has begun to send troops to recover the surrounding areas. It won't be long before they arrive here."

"After all, this is a big city. If we use this place as a base, the surrounding small villages will naturally return quickly."

Hearing this news, Meng Liang breathed a sigh of relief and the anxiety in his heart finally settled.

“That’s really good news.”

A forced smile appeared on his scarred face.

Meng Liang thought for a while, and seeing that Luo Xiu was not interested in the canned fruit in his hand, he said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today. After all, we have no food and ammunition. Under normal circumstances, we have to borrow some."

Although it was called a loan, Luo Xiu knew very well that it was the kind of money that would not be returned.

"We understand." In a city without any legal constraints, Feng Yu agreed with his approach.

"How are you going to accommodate the people outside next?" Luo Xiu asked.

Meng Liang spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? Of course I have to put them back."

Luo Xiu disagreed with this and put the can in his hand on the bed.

"Both of them are in trouble now. We can help them and tell them that our large force will be here soon. They have no choice but to surrender now."

After listening, Meng Liang lowered his head and thought for a moment. He did not express his opinion immediately, but asked another question.

"Do you know the hunter team here?"

"I know, Qi Feng and the others are them." Luo Xiu was surprised.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Meng Liang was stunned and quickly opened the door and rushed out.

"What's going on here?"

Luo Xiu and Feng Yu looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

In the hall, Qi Feng and others were surrounded. If they made the slightest movement, they would be beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Put down your guns. If you continue to resist, don't blame us for being rude." The soldiers from Zhulong District had firm expressions and might really shoot.

After many rounds of attrition, only a few members of the hunter team were left. Faced with the large number of soldiers from the Zhulong District, most of them had no choice but to lay down their guns and surrender.

In the end, only the crazy female captain held her two guns and refused to put them down.

"You are going against the World Trade Center. You should know the consequences."

Feng Yu was a little confused about the dispute, but he did not stop it. He just asked a team member.

"Why do we disarm them but not others?"

The soldier from the Zhulong District tilted his head slightly, his eyes glowing red:

"The Hunter Squad of the World Trade Center is also known as the Massacre Squad. They killed everyone and everyone wherever they went. We have suffered from them before, and many of our brothers died in battle. Moreover, they took the heads of each of our brothers."

"This is really too much." Feng Yu frowned.

"Isn't this the robot ... " Luo Xiu also thought of something. The entire World Trade Center actually dared to do business with robots.

The two sides are still in a standoff, neither willing to give in.

As time goes by, the patience of the soldiers in Zhulong District will be worn out, and they are about to pull the trigger.

Qi Feng suddenly swept towards everyone, and finally landed on Luo Xiu. She said:

"If you want to shoot, you should consider the consequences of offending a wilderness sniper."

"I think you should know how terrifying a elusive wilderness sniper is, especially when he has a heavy sniper rifle in his hand."

At this time, Qi Feng's eyes were directed at Luo Xiu, which made everyone look at him.

This made Luo Xiu feel very uncomfortable. He glanced around and said, "Why are you looking at me? Of course I will kill that wilderness sniper."

Qi Feng suddenly smiled , " That sniper is you. Didn't we work well together that night?"

When the people around heard this, they took a deep breath.

Luo Xiu drooped his eyelids, too tired to complain.

That night I just fought with the phantom wild creature, what could have happened?

Just as he was about to explain, Meng Liang came over, grabbed Luo Xiu's arm and pulled him aside.

He gritted his teeth and said , " You caused this yourself, so you have to solve it yourself. I only have one thing to ask, I hope I won't see them again in five minutes."

"Guarantee to complete the order." Luo Xiu was not vague and agreed on the spot.

He walked quickly into the encirclement, pulled out his pistol, and fired several shots at the people around Qi Feng.

The members of the hunter team who had just surrendered fell to the ground without a sound.

Finally, Luo Xiu pointed the gun at Qi Feng, and there was no humanity in his eyes.

For Luo Xiu at this moment, the enemies must die, especially those guys who have abandoned their humanity. It is better to do it as soon as possible.

Anyway, even if he was tried, he would be shot, and Luo Xiu just brought the matter forward.

So there was no mercy.

Everyone around was stunned, and Qi Feng was also frightened. Seeing the gun pointed at her and about to shoot her, she decided to strike first and fired several shots at Luo Xiu first.

But Luo Xiu swung his arms, and the combat shield on his arms bounced all the bullets away.

Luo Xiu was not to be outdone and kept shooting until the magazine was empty.

Qi Feng was very fast, as if he had the ability to predict the trajectory of the ball. His body changed several movements and actually deflected all the bullets shot by Luo Xiu.

Not a single shot hit.

Luo Xiu was a little mad. He threw his pistol away, rushed forward and punched out.

After all, having fought side by side with Luo Xiu, Qi Feng naturally knew how powerful Luo Xiu was.

He had no intention of confronting Luo Xiu head-on, but instead slid sideways to avoid him.

At this moment, Luo Xiu suddenly turned into several afterimages, and his outstretched fist seemed to have turned into eight, and for a moment it was unclear whether it was true or not.

Wilderness sniper skill - dodge, information communicator skill - high hand speed. The dodge skill was originally used to avoid bullets by moving the body quickly in a small range, but Luo Xiu used it in combat.

The high hand speed brought Luo Xiu a faster attack speed, and an afterimage also appeared in an instant. Coupled with Luo Xiu's unarmed combat skills, Luo Xiu's melee ability almost reached its peak at this time.

Qi Feng retreated quickly, trying to avoid Luo Xiu's attack range, but the fist in front of him seemed to be even faster and was about to fall in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of those phantom wild creatures that were sent flying by a single punch, Qi Feng suddenly panicked, closed his eyes and shouted , " I surrender."

Boom! The fist finally stopped at the tip of her nose. The strong wind from the fist blew away the big felt hat on her head, and her long black hair also fluttered.

Qi Feng's legs went limp and she couldn't help but sit down on the ground. Her beautiful face was almost going to say goodbye to her.

Two soldiers handcuffed her and took her away, where she would reveal more information about the Hunter Squad during the soldiers' interrogation.

The sudden change was obviously beyond Meng Liang's expectations. He walked up to Luo Xiu and said:

"That's too much. How can you slap me in the face?"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Luo Xiu slowly retracted his fist and scratched his head. In a life-and-death battle, who cares about being slapped in the face?

In fact, it wasn't that Luo Xiu wanted to stop just now, but the system prompt sound made Luo Xiu slow down a little, so he stopped.

[Congratulations to the host for realizing a new skill: Eight Broken Fists, which can instantly swing eight fists to attack surrounding enemies, and increase your spirit by 1]

Luo Xiu was naturally happy about the skills he had learned, but then he became distressed because all the private first-class positions had been filled, and the next one would naturally be the corporal.

But how many merit points does a corporal need to be promoted?

I glanced at the merit points, it was already 3778 points, just a blink of an eye away from 4,000.

"Do you want to buy that set of warrior armor?"

As soon as I thought of Yolulu, I felt a warm feeling on my left hand.

It’s Yolulu calling.

Luo Xiu took the opportunity of going to the bathroom to contact the other party.

"As expected of someone I'm optimistic about. I didn't expect that he could deal with those two mercenaries so quickly."

Yolulu raised his eyebrows, "I can already imagine the sad face of that warehouse-level merchant."

"How do you know they are dead?" Luo Xiu asked curiously.

"Oh, it was the Black Rotation Mercenary Group that discovered that the life sensors of the two people had disappeared, and after some investigation, they found that they had accepted the mission privately."

"The Black Spin mercenaries are now causing trouble for the merchant. I think he will bleed a lot this time."

Thinking of this, Yolulu in front of him couldn't help but laugh.

It took him a while to calm down, and then his eyes lit up and he looked at Luo Xiu.

"Such a strong soul scent, Soul Reaper, would you like to buy a set of warrior armor?"

Luo Xiu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

Next he wanted to become a corporal so that he could get a stronger career. With a career, he would be stronger and could get more merit points.

He knew very well in his mind that equipment was important, but one's own strength was also necessary.

"Uh, you're not buying it?" Yolulu showed a disappointed look, then his eyes turned and his gaze fell on the equipment on Luo Xiu.

"Flame torches, wood-grained horns, wow, wow, wow, these are all good stuff. Would you like to sell them to me? I can give you a good price."

This made Luo Xiu's eyes light up. He didn't expect that Yolulu could sell things here.

"Can you give me the soul crystal?"

"Ahem ... " Yolulu quickly turned his face away, "Soul Reaper, you are joking, I don't have that thing."

"I can only give you our trading unit, which is Ghost Stone. For these two pieces of equipment, I am willing to provide five Ghost Stones."

"Phantom Stone?" Luo Xiu touched his chin and thought, then reached out and took out two purple regular stones from his backpack.

"This is it?"

Yolulu stretched his head to take a look and nodded:

"Yes, this is the common trading currency between our stars, and this ghost stone can also be exchanged for the local trading currency, but I suggest you don't do it. It's easy to exchange, but it's not easy to exchange back. Ghost stone is the hard currency."

Luo Xiu lifted the ghost stone in front of him, not understanding how this tiny stone could become the common currency among the stars. Could it be more valuable than gold?

Seeing Luo Xiu's actions, Yolulu quickly reacted and realized that Luo Xiu was not clear about its function.

So he explained without reservation , " Phantom Stone is a kind of energy, equivalent to the oil on your Earth, but its grade is much higher than oil."

"Most interstellar forces can use Phantom Stones as fuel for spacecraft, and some also use them as elixirs for cultivation."

"And they are also the trigger for war."

"Fortunately, your Earth doesn't have any, so you don't have to worry about being attacked."

Luo Xiu took back the Youshi at this moment and had a general understanding of the use of the Youshi. It was indeed a very valuable thing. It was estimated that it could be converted into contribution points and could buy a house.

"We were almost wiped out. It doesn't matter whether we are worried or not." Luo Xiu retorted indifferently.

Then he continued with the previous topic , " I won't sell these two things. After all, they are useful to me."

Yolulu showed a look of disappointment again, but then his eyes lit up the next second.

"Then are you willing to take on the mission and earn ghost stones?"

As for me, this businessman has a lot of business.

Luo Xiu did not refuse directly. After all, there was no Phantom Stone on Earth, and the effect of Phantom Stone was so great. If he sold it, then ... ahem, he would make a fortune.

"What mission? Tell me first."
