Lu Ning walked in the fog for two thousand years. When he emerged, he found the world seemed to be sick.
The sun grew tentacles, the planets were covered in flesh and blood, the moon grew num...
Lu Ning looked at Colin, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "If I can resurrect others in the future, I will resurrect you."
Colin was taken aback, then looked at Lu Ning with surprise and delight: "Really?"
Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."
Colin's expression was complicated as he said, "Lu Ning, to be honest, I did have some resentment towards you before, after all, Mu Mu's illness was partly your fault."
Lu Ning looked at Colin with a calm expression.
Colin continued, "But deep down I know that it's not your fault. Even if it weren't you, given Mu Mu's mental state at the time, she would probably still have developed the disease eventually. It's just that I can't get over it in my heart."
"But now, after spending more than a month together, I know you're a good person. So my resentment towards you has long since disappeared. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."
As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a noise not far away.
They turned their heads and saw that it was in the direction of the kitchen.
The two exchanged a glance, and Colin whispered, "Follow behind me."
He was surrounded by floating steel needles as he carefully walked towards the kitchen.
There is a small door on one side of the kitchen, which should be a storage room.
The small door was closed, and soft sobbing could be heard coming from inside.
Colin raised an eyebrow, reached out and grasped the handle of the small door in mid-air, then slightly twisted his wrist.
Just two meters away, the small doorknob began to turn in sync with Colin's wrist.
As the small door clicked open, Lu Ning saw a woman in a red dress inside, sobbing with her head down and her shoulders trembling slightly.
Just as Colin was about to speak, he saw Lu Ning raise his pistol at the woman.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the woman's red dress suddenly billowed out, used to shield her head.
The bullet landed on the red dress, embedding itself inside, and blood oozed from it.
The woman screamed and looked up.
Her appearance was very strange, as if two different faces had been merged together, with the left and right sides of her face being very disproportionate.
The left side of her face is more delicate, while the right side is more angular.
The woman's screams seemed to come from both a man and a woman, and she looked at Colin and Lu Ning with a hungry gaze.
She shrieked, "You two brothers are so handsome! Come play with us! Let's have fun together!"
The next moment, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and several steel needles pierced through the woman's red dress, penetrating her brow, heart, and other vital parts.
The woman still wore an alluring smile, but her eyes had lost their sparkle.
Colin adjusted his glasses, bowed slightly to the fallen woman with an elegant air, and said with a light laugh, "No, thank you for your invitation."
Lu Ning glanced at the pistol and said, "The pistol is too weak. Can I request a more powerful firearm?"
Colin chuckled, “The power of ordinary pistols is indeed limited. The bodies of the infected are generally strong. For infected individuals of level two or above, unless you hit their weak points with a pistol, it’s difficult to inflict effective damage. Just like Gao Tianlin before.”
He paused for a moment, then said, "Normally, an Awakened's combat power mainly relies on their awakened abilities, but you're different. I'll go back and request some firearms from headquarters. Tell me what your needs are."
Lu Ning thought for a moment and then said, "The Crimson Sky Pistol, I heard from Elder Qin that this is the most powerful pistol, right?"
Colin thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, for second-tier infected individuals, unless they have specialized defensive abilities, they cannot be defended against. For third-tier infected individuals, as long as their defense is not strong, they can be killed. However, this thing has a relatively strong recoil. It is specifically designed for awakened individuals with enhanced strength. Can you withstand it?"
Lu Ning nodded: "My strength is pretty good right now."
"That's fine then." Colin nodded.
Lu Ning continued, "And a sniper rifle, I want the Thousand-Mile Eye Type III, and a heavy machine gun, I want the Hive Type VI..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Colin interrupted with a look of exasperation.
He looked at Lu Ning speechlessly: "...Are you planning to fight fourth or fifth-tier infected? And with a heavy machine gun? Heavy machine guns are controlled firearms; they're only used when facing the Mist Beast Tide. In the base city, unless the situation is extremely dangerous, it's impossible to get one. I can think of a way to get you a sniper rifle, though."
Lu Ning asked with some regret, "Does that mean the man-portable missile is out of the question?"
Colin: [?_??]
He looked at him speechlessly: "Why didn't you ask for the Soul Crystal Cannon?"
"Is it okay?" Lu Ning looked at Colin expectantly.
"...Never mind what I said, hurry up and check the kitchen."
Colin, feeling somewhat exhausted, began inspecting the kitchen.
Lu Ning was even more disappointed.
He then inspected the other side, and then, as if struck by a thought, he said, "Why is the level of firearms so low in this era? In our time, intercontinental ballistic missiles could reach tens of thousands of kilometers."
Colin began, "Because the mental radiation from the mist can affect the rules of the universe to some extent, weren't the original nuclear bombs detonated through some kind of transformation?"
"Nuclear fission and nuclear fusion?"
"Oh right, that's the thing. Later, it turned out that nuclear fission and nuclear fusion had failed or something, but the nuclear bomb stopped detonating. Back in your time, it was the most powerful weapon mankind could possess, right?"
Lu Ning nodded, but the image of the sun covered in tentacles came to mind.
"And didn't you read 'Major Historical Events of the Mist Era'? You should know about the robot rebellion, right? Back then, advanced firearms were all integrated with AI systems, you know?"
