Someone hesitated, clutching the magnetic cannon, "This thing looks like a plastic pistol, will it work?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present weighed the magnetic cannon in their hands and hesitated in unison.
The magnetic cannon is roughly the size of a children's toy gun. It's made of a new type of wear-resistant material, which is lightweight yet heat-resistant. In the palm of your hand, it weighs about the same as a serving of cold noodles; it's very light and easy to hold.
Lu Sheng's expression stiffened slightly.
As always, the weapons workshop inherited the system's rebellious and unconventional nature. These magnetic cannons were not only made of lightweight materials, but their handles were also mischievously printed with some gaudy little patterns.
The one in Lu Sheng's hand, unsurprisingly, had a Lazy Sheep printed on it.
Not to mention the people at Yangfan Base don't trust him, even she herself felt he wasn't very reliable.
But Lu Sheng knew that the system had its own considerations.
The lighter and more convenient a weapon is, the better. More agility means more safety in a firefight. Those heavy firearms from before the apocalypse are now a burden; before you can even pick them up and fire, you're already dead.
Rather than lecturing, Lu Sheng decided it would be better to demonstrate for this group of people himself.
She gripped the stainless steel fence with one hand, stepped on the horizontal bar, and leaped onto the three-meter-high ice wall in a few quick movements. Her movements were so fluid and graceful that everyone at the Yangfan Base couldn't help but gape in astonishment.
"Cool!" Xue Ming's gaze was uncontrollably fixed on Lu Sheng's red sneakers.
"Captain Lu! Be careful!" Han Hongguang looked up nervously.
This girl is the light of humanity right now. If something happens to her with him, it will be really hard to explain.
Lu Sheng steadied himself and glanced down.
Beneath the ice wall, countless sea monsters raised their heads in unison, staring longingly at the tender and juicy delicacies on the high wall, like chicks eagerly awaiting their meal.
The damp, salty smell wafted into the nasal cavity with the sea breeze, irritating the tear ducts and causing them to sting.
A colossal creature, a fusion of octopus and starfish, eagerly extended its slippery, supple tentacles, swiftly attacking Lu Sheng's slender ankle.
The scent of living people was an unparalleled delicacy to these monsters, as intoxicating as catnip.
As the tentacles, as thick as an adult's thigh, were about to touch Lu Sheng's calf, everyone at Yangfan Base held their breath.
Han Hongguang's heart jumped into his throat, and his hand reacted before his brain could process it, immediately slashing out with an ice blade.
But just as the ice blade left their hands, a shocking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Lu Sheng's slender and graceful figure remained motionless in the sea breeze as she swiftly raised her hand and pressed the trigger on the tentacle.
A dazzling ball of light streaked across the sky, exploding into a spectacular display the moment it collided with the tentacles!
boom!
The salty and savory aroma of grilled octopus tentacles instantly filled the air!
Han Hongguang stared blankly as the tentacle exploded into pieces in mid-air, then fell to the ground in scattered fragments. A few pieces landed inside the ice wall, emitting an enticing aroma of burning.
"It smells so good..." Someone at the Yangfan base subconsciously swallowed.
The wounded monster angrily spat out foul-smelling ink at Lu Sheng, while its remaining tentacles slammed down on him frantically.
Lu Sheng was confident and fired a few shots casually.
The magnetic cannon was more destructive than she had anticipated.
After several explosions, only a huge, ripe starfish remained in the spot. Lu Sheng fired two shots at the starfish's bulging body, and dark green viscous liquid instantly splattered everywhere.
Xue Ming made a square hole in the ice wall, peeked out, and exclaimed, "Holy crap, Patrick Star got exposed..."
Han Hongguang: "..."
"Shut up!" He dragged Xue Ming back, his face showing barely concealed excitement.
He had never seen such a weapon before, and the shock it brought was beyond words.
Now that they have such powerful weapons, there is hope for this battle!
Don't look at the advertisements, look at the results.
Zhang Xiaojuan hooked her arm around Han Hongguang's shoulder and said, "Watch closely, Sister Lu will only demonstrate once, so brothers, learn and watch carefully."
Inspired by Han Hongguang's emotions, the remaining team members at Yangfan Base were all in high spirits and clenched their fists.
This land is where they live, and every inch of it is the most precious activity area for humankind. We absolutely cannot hand it over to these sea monsters!
Amidst the fervent enthusiasm of the crowd, only one discordant voice emerged.
"Boss, what medicine did you just take? Are you feeling unwell?" Xue Ming picked up the medicine bottle from the ground. "Painkillers? Boss, where does it hurt?"
Han Hongguang blushed, but forced a straight face and said, "If you have nothing better to do, go and clean the toilet."
"Boss! Shall we give it a try?" The people from Yangfan Base were eager to try, surrounding Lu Sheng who had jumped off the ice wall. "Sister Lu, does this hand cannon require special abilities? Can we be as strong as you?"
Lu Sheng briefly explained the working principle of the magnetic cannon to everyone, which made the crowd even more excited.
No special abilities required, just a flick of your finger!
This is totally foolproof fun!
In the battle against these mutated monsters, Yangfan Base suffered a series of defeats, incurring heavy losses along the way. The survivors present were all seething with anger. Now that they finally had a means of retaliation, everyone disregarded rest and immediately grabbed their magnetic cannons to join the fight.
Sun Tiantian lowered the ice wall, allowing the people who had risked their lives to defend the line to unleash their anger as they pleased.
Countless orbs of light slammed into the alien army, the explosions illuminating the twilight as if it were daytime.
