Chapter 113 Death of Fu Zongchen
He also didn't mind praising Li Ming. "Prince Baijan is also paying attention to you. If you go to the Itlan civilization, don't forget to visit Prince Baijan."
Li Ming smiled and nodded. The armored cabin closed, and flames spewed out from below, rising to the second floor. Li Ming took a look at its flight trajectory and memorized it in his mind.
Then, Fu Zongchen began to talk again, pacing back and forth and mentioning his political ambitions.
This post-inauguration banquet was essentially an act of winning over political allies.
It is impossible to say that he has no desire to become the chairman of the committee. The status of the head of a civilization is completely different, even if it is only a primary civilization.
To give the simplest example, the Black Hole Network will not accept any bounties targeting the heads of civilizations.
It is to simply not accept it, rather than raising the reward price through other means.
Li Ming listened for a moment and said something to Qi Xing, who then pointed him in a direction.
Li Ming nodded and secretly switched the controlled object - [High Frequency Positioning Device]. This was something he had obtained from the Xingchuang Company branch, and he has now upgraded it to D-level.
Ability: [Location: Select a target and lock its position within a range of 1000m.]
After choosing Fu Zongchen, he walked into the bathroom.
I closed the door and looked around. It was very clean and every place was extremely bright.
Turn on [Smart Assistance] and make sure there is no monitoring or anything like that.
Then he took out the cigar box from his arms, pulled out a cigar from it, and after peeling it open, he found that it was a black bullet.
Burn the cardboard completely and let the ashes fall into the toilet and flush down the drain.
He searched his right pocket again, took out an identical cigar, and put it into the missing space in the box.
He put away the cigar box, raised his hands, and the heavy super-electromagnetic sniper rifle appeared in his hands.
The slender Night Chaser was stuffed into the loading port, and with the sound of the bullet and the barrel clamping together, everything fit together perfectly.
Li Ming took a deep breath, recalled the situation when he came here, looked at the crack in the door on the ground, and sensed Fu Zongchen's position.
He picked up the super electromagnetic sniper rifle, almost without aiming, put the muzzle close to the ground, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The Night Chaser, as a custom bullet worth seven million, no, including shipping costs, it is close to nine million, its own power is one thing, and it also has various auxiliary functions.
The super electromagnetic sniper rifle flashed with fluorescence, and was then covered by a cold and pale darkness, starting from the end of the gun and gradually spreading to the entire gun body.
This was a strange scene. Li Ming had never heard that a bullet could change the color of a gun.
But all this was laid bare before him. It seemed as if it was accumulating energy. The pitch-black body of the gun was shaking, and the black color began to shrink from the butt to the muzzle, silently.
A pitch-black bullet shot out from the muzzle. Li Ming could hardly feel the recoil. There was also no sound, and no flash from the muzzle. This was—
Night chaser!
At the same time, the [Gunsmith]'s abilities [Bullet Sacrifice] and [Gun Fighting Technique] are activated simultaneously.
The power of [Justice Gauntlets] and the speed and cutting ability of [Prism Ion Sword] are added.
In an instant, he felt as if his body was being drained away, and his vision changed drastically, as if he was looking at the entire world in panoramic view.
He was not panicked at all. This was the ability of [Gun Fighting Technique]. The so-called change of bullet trajectory was essentially controlled by him personally, and the perspective of the bullets around him was slowed down many times.
He had tried it before, but the physical exertion this time made him daunted.
Without caring about anything else, he held his breath and concentrated, controlling the movement of the bullet and passing through the gap.
All the force is accumulated in the bullet, and due to the influence of the built-in spoiler, the extremely fast flying speed only causes slight ripples in the air.
In the hall, Fu Zongchen was speaking passionately--
"…But I have the confidence and the ability to make Blue Planet a better place…"
He looked excited on the surface, but calm on the inside. He looked at the expressions of the people below as he spoke.
Some people sneered, some were indifferent, and some were hostile to him, but he didn't care.
This was originally a speech to seek allies. After he expressed his desire to become the chairman of the committee, people with similar interests would naturally come to him after the banquet.
That idiot Sein...
He sneered in his heart, thinking, did he really think that if he worked diligently for Prince Baijan, he would get the due reward?
Being competent in doing things can only win temporary favor. You must have your own value to make people unwilling to give up on you, and even turn you from a pawn into a collaborator!
He had understood this truth long ago. Over the years, he had used the power of Prince Baijan to climb higher.
From a casual chess piece, to a rather important chess piece, and then to a rare chess piece.
This is also the reason why, even though he did not cooperate with Sayin to complete the so-called mission, Prince Baijan still treated him differently and even sent him armor.
He has a valuable, if unlikely, chance of becoming the chairperson commissioner.
The Ysera civilization might be able to influence a civilization, but Prince Baijan is not enough.
He has a bright future. One day, he will trample everyone on Blue Star, even Prince Baijan, under his feet!
From a down-and-out person seeking political asylum, to his current position step by step, Fu Zongchen firmly believes that he...
Um! ?
Suddenly, his voice stopped, and an indescribable fear arose in his heart, and a cold chill ran straight from his tailbone to his forehead.
The biological intuition from a C-level life form made him feel that disaster was imminent.
Someone assassinated me!?
His pupils contracted and he could vaguely see a black line approaching.
Fast, too fast!
He barely had time to think about anything else and just wanted to move his body, but he only shifted a little bit and the black bullet pierced his forehead.
Who, who is it?
Fu Zongchen didn't die on the spot. He was terrified and at the same time felt unwilling. He didn't want to die. He was on the cusp of a successful political career, so how could he die here?!
The tenacity of C-level life forms is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
But the next moment, there was a loud bang, and his head exploded. Before the red and white things could scatter, the black super-gravity gravitational field caused a howling wind around, which swirled in the opposite direction and sucked the broken pieces of meat back.
A violent suction force came from it, and Fu Zongchen's lower body folded, condensed, and was swallowed up inch by inch.
At the same time, a bright blue barrier unfolded from half of Fu Zongchen's body, confronting the super-gravity gravitational field, making a crackling sound and gradually breaking apart.
All this happened in a moment, and a look of astonishment and fear appeared on the faces of the other people present. Fu Zongchen... is dead?
They haven't reacted yet.
The moment before, Fu Zongchen was still talking big, sending all kinds of signals to them, trying to find his own political allies, and the next moment he was shot in the head?
This indescribable shock was difficult to ease even though they had experienced many storms.
Under the threat of death, these old foxes could not remain calm. They retreated again and again, looking terrified and calling for bodyguards.
Bodyguards in every corner quickly rushed over to protect their employers and keep them away from the range of the super-gravity field.
Luo Chuan looked extremely solemn. He immediately looked around but could not find Li Ming.
"Li Ming! Li Ming!" he shouted loudly, looking anxious.
"Toilet!" Someone shouted.
Luo Chuan's figure quickly disappeared from the spot. He rushed open the toilet door and saw Li Ming lying on the floor with a pale face, gasping for breath and a dazed look in his eyes.
His face changed slightly, and he hurriedly helped Li Ming up to make sure he was not injured. He asked repeatedly what happened, but Li Ming could not say a word.
Outside, alarms sounded and there was chaos. The senior officials looked grim and were preparing to leave.
"No one can leave!" With a loud shout, a burly figure blocked the door.
"Zhu Yunshen, what are you doing? Why are you stopping us?!" A middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice, without any fear.
"Someone assassinated a candidate committee member. No one can leave until the matter is clarified!" Zhu Yunshen said sternly.
"What do you mean? Do you suspect we did it?" Faced with the threat of death, who cared about official rank? Someone immediately refuted, "We don't know where the assassin is hiding, and we don't know what methods he used. Do you want to bury us all here?"
"I said, no one can leave!" Zhu Yunshen ignored it, and then a large number of city guards rushed in and guarded every place.
At the location where Fu Zongchen is, the supergravity field is gradually fading.
With a snap, the condensed flesh and blood fell down and blood flowed.
"Anyone who dares to leave will be killed without mercy!" Zhu Yunshen was furious. This assassination was too weird.
This is the best villa area on Blue Star. There are no high-rise buildings within dozens of kilometers. The defense is tight. How could bullets be shot in?
"Hmm?" Zhu Yunshen's eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed Luo Chuan helping Li Ming out of the bathroom and immediately asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"An old problem." Luo Chuan said perfunctorily.
There was no movement in the hall for a long time. The city guards had blocked all the exits with stern expressions.
Some emotional officials also calmed down and realized that they could not conflict with these city guards. They found a place to sit down without being exposed to the public.
His eyes would occasionally fall on the ball of flesh that Fu Zongchen had turned into, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
These senior officials are at least D-level life forms, and some are even C-level life forms, but there is no guarantee that they are stronger than Fu Zongchen.
If that shot had landed on them, their fate would probably be even worse than Fu Zongchen's.
Who is it?
After the shock, there were endless questions, and the suspect that subconsciously emerged in my mind was Wu Yanqing.
It is well known that Fu Zongchen has been targeting Wu Yanqing recently.
But they immediately rejected it, as Wu Yanqing was not in Jingnan at all.
The prime suspect was ruled out, and there were too many other suspicions.
Who here doesn't have a few enemies?
But there are not many people who have the ability to assassinate a C-level life form.
Everyone thought about it, and the more they thought about it, the more it seemed that everyone present was a suspect.
"Minister, no external bullet holes were found."
"Minister, the surveillance footage is up, and we're reversing the trajectory based on the location of the bullet hole in Commissioner Fu's head."
"…The bullet was traveling too fast, and the surveillance camera didn't capture any trace…"
News came one after another, and Zhu Yunshen frowned. How could there be an assassin of this level?
The speed of the bullet was indeed too fast, and no one in the scene could react.
"The prototype of the bullet has been found, the Night Chaser, the super-gravity field..." A subordinate came to report, holding a virtual projection, but was also confused.
"This bullet is indeed powerful, but its power is not that strong because its main structure is in the internal super-gravity field structure."
"Commissioner Fu has a super-fast reaction barrier on him. Logically, it's impossible for him to not be able to react."
"Is it because of the firing of the gun?" Zhu Yunshen asked back.
The on-site analyst shook his head. "No, this type of bullet will detonate the super-gravity field upon impact, so it cannot be subjected to any excessive impact. There is no way it can have much thrust when fired."
"Minister, General Ren Cangsong is here." A city guard hurried in to report.
Zhu Yunshen finally seemed relieved, as if he had found a backbone.
Then, a group of people walked in, moving decisively. The leader had white hair and beard, and a solemn expression, with a kind of majesty.
"General Ren Cangsong." Everyone at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.
This person is a Class B life form. With him around, we should be safe.
Ren Cangsong looked around and his eyes fell on the fleshy ball. His expression darkened. "Very good. Less than three hours after the inauguration ceremony of this committee member, he was killed. This is simply a naked provocation."
"General, this is a summary of the current clues." Zhu Yunshen handed over a document.
Ren Cangsong lowered his head and glanced at it, reading line by line, his face turned ashen.
"...Can't find the trajectory based on ballistic inference?" Ren Cangsong suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice, "How do you city guards do your job!?"
"This..." Zhu Yunshen looked embarrassed.
"Forget it, let my people come and hand over all the data." Ren Cangsong waved his hand, and the city guards looked at each other with unhappy expressions.
Zhu Yunshen was helpless.
Ren Cangsong looked around and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will conduct a preliminary survey. Once I know the general situation, I will let you go."
Time passed minute by minute, and Ren Cangsong seemed to notice something and walked to the corner.
"You're here too?" His voice sounded a little surprised.
"General." Luo Chuan nodded.
"What's wrong with him?" Ren Cangsong then noticed Li Ming, who was pale and almost unable to speak.
"Something unexpected happened, some genetic changes." Luo Chuan explained calmly.
Ren Cangsong nodded and said, "Let someone check it out later."
After a while, Ren Cangsong's men came forward and whispered a few words.
Ren Cangsong, who had been calm at first, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "You haven't found the trajectory of the ballistic missile yet!?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the senior city guards who had gathered together smiled at each other and quickly withdrew.
"How come we can't find the trajectory? Could it be that this bullet appeared out of thin air?"
Ren Cangsong's men helplessly explained: "There is no hole in the wall. There is no hole in the entire wall. The glass is not broken. Unless the bullet was fired from the villa."
After a few moments of rest, Li Ming finally had the strength to speak, but he was still dizzy.
The consumption was too great, it actually drained me dry. He was a little scared. If the distance was farther, he would be drained to death.
"This... this... what's going on?" He uttered a few words with difficulty and looked at the ball of flesh that Fu Zongchen had turned into. "What is that?"
A strange expression suddenly appeared on Luo Chuan's face: "That's... Fu Zongchen."
"What?" Surprise, astonishment, and a slight smile quickly disappeared on Li Ming's pale face.
