Rebirth: Divine Machine-Making Master - Chapter 25

Chapter 25: Counter-attack

After he left the experimental base, so many people had died because of him.

They were all real people, with flesh and blood.

The smell of blood and smoke was so realistic.

Their feelings were as hot as lava, making Elrond unable to accept it.

Facing this realistic world, Elrond knew that he had to change his attitude.

Otherwise, these people would have died in vain.

They were all living people and not the game’s NPCs.

Gathering all the corpses, Elrond took a large barrel of gasoline from Fatty’s bus. Walking toward Fatty’s corpse, he whispered, “This time, you can’t steal my bullets.”

Although he was smiling, the look in his eyes was sad.

He poured gasoline over all the corpses and went to all the buses to check on their things. He picked out all the items he needed and put them together.

He poured gasoline over everything else.

Taking a pack of cigarettes, Elrond lit a cigarette.

He took a deep puff and said, “All of you died because of me. I will avenge your deaths.”

With that, Elrond flicked the lighter in his hand toward the pile of corpses.

“Sizzle—”

A blazing fire lit up, and black flames surged into the sky.

Victor and his wife’s smiling faces echoed in his mind.

However, they died along with the flames.

“I’ll make sure they pay with their lives.”

He walked up to a pile of scrap metal.

“Ding—” There was a system notification.

“Quest Notification: Eliminate the pursuers. The reward for completing the quest is 1 Golden Revolver. The additional reward is 15,000 experience points.”

Golden Revolver

Attribute: Miraculous

Ammunition: Unlimited

Range: 1,000 yards

Note: This revolver’s recoil is very high and is very powerful. Its firing speed is 1 second which can take down a spaceship if there is enough time.

Elrond was shocked that the attribute of the golden revolver was miraculous.

Diamond was excellent, and king was considered legendary.

Those items above king were miraculous.

However, Elrond had his doubts. Although there was unlimited ammunition, it should not be at a miraculous level. If the revolver was at the platinum level, it would be considered outstanding.

“Host, there are two other hidden characteristics about this Golden Revolver.

“Firstly, this revolver can be permanently bound to the host. Other people will not be able to obtain it. As long as the host is not dead, the revolver will not disappear.

“You can summon it directly with your will no matter where the revolver is.

“Secondly, even though this revolver is only at the gold level now, it can be upgraded indefinitely.

“But the prerequisite is— as the host levels up, the revolver will upgrade too. As a result, the power will increase following the upgrade.”

“F*ck!” Elrond cursed.

He was completely speechless.

The revolver’s level would only increase when the host leveled up.

That condition was a little abnormal. Furthermore, it had unlimited bullets.

When Elrond played Voyage in his previous life, he witnessed the destructive power of different beings which could destroy planets.

If he leveled up to that extent, wouldn’t that represent that his shot would be able to destroy an entire planet?

The most important point was that, as he leveled up in all aspects, there would be fewer and fewer weapons that he could use.

This was also the reason why mechanics were so powerful in the later stages.

Mechanics could constantly strengthen and magnify their abilities through the research of mechas.

If a psionic wore armor built by a mechanic, that person would practically be invincible.

A slight increase in Elrond’s aura would increase his combat power dramatically.

He suddenly felt like his ordinary pistol was upgraded to a cannon.

It was a golden revolver that could level up infinitely.

Moreover, this revolver was an eight-gun-long barrel revolver.

The barrel of the gun was very long, almost the length of half an arm.

The huge wheel made a crisp and pleasant sound as it rotated.

Elrond couldn’t take his hands off it. He looked at the scrap metal in disgust.

He originally wanted to assemble these scrap metals into a new gun. He would lie in wait and set up an ambush in the sand and trees, waiting for Two and the others to return. Then he would launch an attack on them.

But this new weapon’s range was 1,000 yards.

This was very abnormal because a normal sniping distance was around 800 yards.

But now, he could do 800 yards with a pistol.

Elrond’s body had been strengthened through modification, so his vision could see things that were 1,000 yards away. There was no situation where he couldn’t see or hit.

What preparations did he need to make? Was it even necessary to make any preparations?

After he finished setting up the traps, Elrond went straight to the entrance of the forest.

But he did not go deep inside.

These experimental subjects were all experienced in battle.

This was the information they got from the people in the tribe.

Two probably believed that the people in the tribe would not dare to lie when they were in a life and death crisis, so he did not erase his footprints at the entrance.

It would be easy to annihilate Two’s troops, but it was too difficult to search for them in the vast forest.

This primeval forest was too big.

He had to take the initiative.

The thick black smoke billowing from the burnt corpses would definitely attract Two’s attention, who was not far from the forest.

They would immediately determine that Zero had not entered the forest at all.

Two had to die.

The system had already given him a notification.

The golden revolver was not his yet.

He would only gain the experience points and bind the revolver to himself after this quest was completed.

He left a few footprints at the entrance of the forest and cleaned up the other footprints.

Then, he ran into a valley with steep ends.

Most people would not go this way.

However, he was sure that Two would head this way.

He came to the top of the cliff.

Two and his men could see the black smoke rising into the sky from their location.

Two’s expression turned ugly as he said softly, “Zero, you’re here. I’ll go back now and send you to Heaven.”

Ten was already impatient.

They had been on a wild goose chase for so many days, and he did not even see Zero’s shadow.

Zero’s existence meant something to all the experimental subjects.

There was a rumor in the experimental base that Zero was developed to rule all the experimental subjects.

Leaving the forest, Two saw the footprints. He sneered, “Are you deliberately leading me to you? Zero, you are too arrogant. Your arrogance will cause your death.”

He carefully analyzed the direction of the footprints.

“This way.”

Two led his team and came directly to a cliff.

“Commander, we shouldn’t go in. We have to be careful of an ambush.”

“Bang!”

The person who spoke suddenly stopped, and a thumb-sized hole appeared on his head.
