This was the first time a magic crystal weapon had been displayed before ordinary survivors outside of Ying City, and the shock it caused them was unimaginable.
They had seen the high-level equipment from Cloud Summit, but they always believed that such things would naturally come to them after evolving to a certain degree. They thought that once they reached that level, they would possess similar capabilities.
Although they had already regarded the beauties from Cloud Summit as targets, in their hearts, there was no admiration or respect—just envy and jealousy.
However, when they saw the magic crystal weapon that exceeded their understanding, they finally deeply realized the gap between themselves and Cloud Summit.
It was not just a matter of level; it was... all-encompassing.
Many of them had a thought in their minds: they didn’t even know what the others were wielding.
But at this moment, Ye Zhongming had no time to care about their mental journeys. He was holding a silver sniper rifle, searching for his target.
After acquiring a large amount of Ghost Gold, Ye Zhongming was naturally not stingy, using silver-level ammunition for all his firearms. While this upgrade might not grant as many skills as equipment made from blueprints, the enhancement to basic attributes was significant.
For ammunition, having basic attributes was enough.
A tall figure of a monster appeared in the scope, and Ye Zhongming paused his breath for a moment before pulling the trigger.
A silver bullet whistled out of the chamber.
In his line of sight, a spray of blood erupted the next moment, as the entire head of the monster was blown apart, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
“Level five,” Ye Zhongming murmured. The monster he had just killed was three meters tall, and according to the height-to-level calculation for monsters, it should correspond to an existence of level five evolution.
At this distance, with the double silver ammunition, Ye Zhongming could kill it in one shot.
Ye Zhongming continued to search for targets, wanting to see if a three-and-a-half-meter-tall monster could evade his attack.
Soon, he spotted a monster close to that height. He shot cleanly, even employing muzzle space folding, but the result surprised him.
He missed!
Strictly speaking, he hit the target, and if it were any other being, this shot would be fatal. Although the monster dodged the eye, it was still struck in the head. Even level six zombies, when hit like this without any special abilities, would die.
After all, the power of double silver ammunition was immense, especially combined with a shooting-type professional skill.
However, the monster’s body was simply too robust. At three and a half meters tall, it was roughly at level six; its body was likely superior to that of an eight-star evolver among humans. Their reaction speed and agility exceeded what ordinary people could imagine. The moment Ye Zhongming pulled the trigger, it had sensed the danger and moved to avoid the fatal spot.
Though he didn’t kill this monster, Ye Zhongming noticed that its skin was torn open, revealing the dark green bone beneath. The tremendous force knocked it backward, causing it to crash into a ravine, where it lay there swaying for a while without getting up.
Ye Zhongming didn’t take this opportunity to finish off the monster but instead chose a more valuable target—another five-level monster about three meters tall—killing it with a single shot.
He was incapacitating the leadership among this group of monsters, creating maximum chaos.
The sniper rifle ammunition supplied from the resistance zone was rapidly depleting, as Ye Zhongming’s sniping was so terrifying that the advanced monsters had learned to seek cover. They began to hide behind their weaker subordinates, crouching as they advanced, leaving Ye Zhongming with fewer opportunities to aim. He had to start hunting the lower-level monsters, targeting those around levels three and four.
This was Ye Zhongming’s extravagance; if anyone knew he was using rare silver bullets to kill level three and four beings, they would surely curse him for being wasteful.
