Chapter 43 - Instant Sniping the Young Drought Fiend

This is not a matter of science or non-science, but rather the Conceptual System of this superpower, influenced by the user's own concepts.

If a Conceptual Superpower User is illiterate, then their conceptual ability will completely disregard any scientific principles, such as considering firearms as a whole, or spaceships as a whole, or bizarre scenarios where the human body lacks internal organs.

As for why the shells inside the Firepower Flying Disc are affected?

Perhaps it's because the upgrade method for the Firepower Flying Disc requires it to enlarge, and when it does so, in his concept, the internal shells also change accordingly.

Even so, the shells of the Firepower Flying Disc and the disc itself do not become one entity, because the shells fired do not make the Firepower Flying Disc incomplete.

Theoretically, if the same model of shells can be manufactured, they can also be replenished.

"Recoil? What kind of cost is that?"

The three leaders and four superpower user bodyguards were all stunned.

Soon, this not-too-large aircraft arrived at a location over eighty kilometers away from the safe zone.

Here, one could already see that little Drought Fiend, an entity resembling a lion, over three meters tall, nearly five meters in length, with shriveled flesh all over.

That thing that appeared as a mummy was actually the terrifying little Drought Fiend, from over three thousand meters away, one could feel a searing energy.

Once that scorching energy entered the range of the cooler, it was rapidly cooled down, but perhaps due to being too close to the little Drought Fiend, the Marvel cooler couldn't maintain zero degrees inside the aircraft cockpit.

Only within one meter of the cooler could the temperature be kept at zero degrees.

The male members like Yang Yuan didn't feel much, but Storm and another female superpower user felt very uncomfortable, as if their internal balance of yin and yang were disturbed.

Upon seeing the little Drought Fiend, everyone immediately became alert.

Yang Yuan hurriedly loaded the sniper rifle's magazine, looking seriously at the little Drought Fiend.

Although the temperature is alarmingly high now, it's actually already December.

The climate of this world is very similar to Earth's; in December, the sun sets early. Now it is completely dark, though it's actually not even eight o'clock yet, the eerie presence within the building ruins has not emerged.

Perhaps it saw the flying object directly, or was affected by the Marvel cooler, but the little Drought Fiend suddenly roared from afar and dashed out from the ruins, as fast as lightning, charging towards us.

Everyone inside the aircraft changed their expressions because the shriveled little Drought Fiend could reach a speed of over two hundred meters per second.

One of the superpower user bodyguards suddenly opened the door, intending to go down and engage.

However, at that moment, Yang Yuan suddenly aimed the sniper rifle at the rapidly approaching little Drought Fiend.

As he saw the little Drought Fiend through the scope, time seemed to slow down. Did this scope come with a bullet-time effect?

Moreover, the scope's view showed distance indicators, with the aiming crosshair turning red when targeting from a thousand meters away.

Once the little Drought Fiend entered within a kilometer, the crosshair immediately turned green, indicating it was within shooting range.

Without hesitation, when the crosshair overlapped with the little Drought Fiend's head, as the massive little Drought Fiend came within a kilometer range, he directly pulled the trigger.

"Boom—— "

A deafening roar erupted, the massive recoil causing the sniper rifle's muzzle to jerk sharply upwards.

At the same instant, the little Drought Fiend's large head that shot towards us like lightning was directly penetrated, leaving a fist-sized hole from front to back.

The back of the little Drought Fiend's head exploded, spraying a large puff of dark red powder.

That wasn't blood; the little Drought Fiend didn't have any blood, so what was sprayed was flesh and bone powder carried out by the bullet.

The Marvel sniper rifle's bullets had such strong penetrating power, as if there was no resistance.

The little Drought Fiend's body continued to rush forward under inertia for over a hundred meters before suddenly crashing into the edge of the ruins, tumbling and sliding, stirring up a large amount of smoke and embers from the burning layer of decayed leaves and trees.

Until it completely rolled out of the building ruins' boundary, the little Drought Fiend's body finally stopped about eight hundred meters from the aircraft.

Meanwhile, Storm and the four superpower user bodyguards hadn't even managed to leave the aircraft yet and witnessed the scene.

"Hiss!!"

"Holy shit!!"

The four superpower bodyguards, along with Jia Weixin and the other two leaders, were all startled.

It was not just the ear-splitting gunshot that frightened them; mainly, it was the terrifying power of the sniper rifle that shocked them.

The four superpower bodyguards looked at the sniper rifle in Yang Yuan's hand, unable to restrain the intense enthusiasm in their eyes.

"Such power...is it really this strong?!"

They could roughly sense the strength of the little Drought Fiend, which would have undoubtedly advanced far on the human level.

With such strength, any one of them facing it alone would certainly die.

Even if four joined forces, they wouldn't dare claim they could kill it.

Yet, such a terrifying little Drought Fiend was finished with a single shot!

Not only were the four superpower bodyguards and Jia Weixin, but even Yang Yuan himself was taken aback.

Previously, he thought that the sniper rifle's effective range dropped sharply to a thousand meters, although it added a killing trait, but its simple destructive power would greatly reduce.

But now it seems that this 'effective' range might need to be reinterpreted.

This 'effective range,' if not by accident, should be the killing range.

Although the maximum range probably won't reach an exaggerated talent level of ten.

"This..." The advisor Chen Xianzhi looked at the sniper rifle in Yang Yuan's hand with astonishment and said, "That little Drought Fiend, at least it's human-level, and possibly not just any ordinary human-level creature, to be killed like this?"

Captain Jia Weixin looked toward it with intense interest, immediately deciding that in the future, they must commission to make a batch of such sniper rifles.

If there's a future at all—

Research Leader Chen, on the other hand, looked on with investigative eyes, curious whether the structure of this sniper rifle had changed.

He very much wanted to take it apart and study it, to see if it could be replicated, but feared a previous issue where dismantling led to an inability to reassemble.

Given the bizarre nature of Conceptual System creations.

"Go check if there's any Marvel on that little Drought Fiend, and by the way, retrieve the Spirit Monster Core." Jia Weixin said to his bodyguard.

"Yes."

The superpower bodyguard directly jumped down from the aircraft and quickly went to retrieve the spoils.

"What about the flesh? Will the Drought Fiend's body continue to emit heat? Should we handle the body?" Yang Yuan asked.

"No need. The Drought Fiend is also considered a spirit monster, once the core is taken, its body's energy will quickly deplete or gather without emitting heat."

Leader Chen explained: "Mr. Yang Yuan might not know, the Drought Fiend's flesh is like that of a zombie's corpse, containing potent toxins, and intrinsically considered good research material but without practical value. At least so far, we haven't researched how to utilize the Drought Fiend's body, only the Spirit Monster Core can be utilized, though this core also contains strong radiation." 

Indeed, the Drought Fiend itself belongs to a type of spirit monster.

However, this type of spirit monster is somewhat extreme; its existence alone would greatly harm the environment and also assimilate female creatures, turning them into the same species, very bizarre.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that it was sealed within the ancient ruins by some unknown existence, but half a year ago, inadvertently dug out by the Earth Alliance, causing this heatwave disaster.
