The seventh-tier ghoul slowly turned to ashes and dissipated until it completely disappeared.
Yan Luo was amazed by the powerful energy unleashed by the Ghost Hunter in that instant; it was already quite impressive that it could instantly kill a corpse demon below the eighth rank.
Since its founding, Longxia has transformed itself from an unknown and suppressed nation to a leading country in science and technology over the past few decades. This achievement is the result of the relentless efforts of generations. It is not that Longxia did not develop ghost-hunting weapons, but rather that it had external threats to address.
Now that external threats have been eliminated and no country in the world dares to underestimate Longxia, it's time to address internal problems.
The previous Corpse-Catching Net Gun was a good start, but now the Ghost Hunter in Yanluo's hands, forged by Tu Yi Yanli and a group of researchers, will completely launch Longxia's counterattack against the Corpses.
Zheng Guoan and several researchers who were recording data came to Yan Luo's side. Zheng Guoan looked at Yan Luo intently and asked, "How are you feeling?"
Yan Luo first nodded and then shook his head. He earnestly praised the advantages of the sniper rifle, and then pointed out its shortcomings.
"Being able to kill ghouls below the eighth rank is already quite remarkable, but the capacity of two bullets places high demands on the user."
Yanluo had already exhausted the ethereal energy in the magazine after firing two shots, but the gun's firepower could make up for the minor shortcoming of insufficient ammunition.
He put the gun back into the black alloy case. "Can this weapon be mass-produced?"
Zheng Guoan nodded.
"The country has now arranged for us to cooperate with the military industry to mass-produce various ethereal ghost-hunting weapons. Sniper rifles are just one type. Consumption is proportional to lethality. More weapons will be developed in the future so that they can be quickly deployed in the battle against the ghouls."
"We will work hard to overcome the energy consumption problem and try our best to help you ghost hunters."
Yanluo was already quite satisfied with the situation.
“Leave the ghouls of the eighth rank and above to us; that way, we can also ensure the safety of the lower-ranked ghoul hunters.”
With weapons capable of killing ghouls below the eighth rank, the safety of many low-ranking ghost hunters will be greatly guaranteed. After all, who would want to fight enemies in close combat if they can fight from a distance, especially bloodthirsty monsters that can regenerate their bodies?
The battle between humans and ghouls will enter a new chapter with the addition of ethereal weapons, and Yanluo's anticipation for this is growing ever stronger.
Zheng Guoan continued enthusiastically, "Science and technology are always advancing rapidly. Only when a country's science and technology become stronger can its people live a safe and peaceful life."
"Over the years, we have resolved the biggest external threat. Now it is time to address the internal problems. After these issues are resolved, Longxia will usher in a true era of peace and prosperity."
Yan Luo nodded in agreement.
"To achieve this goal, we must continue to move forward."
Zheng Guoan is a man with a strong sense of national honor and shame. He was very pleased to hear Yan Luo say this. He excitedly patted Yan Luo on the shoulder and said, "There are more and more young people like you who have a sense of responsibility to the country. This is a good thing."
Yan Luo chuckled lightly, "As people of Longxia, it is our duty to strive for the prosperity of Longxia."
The two chatted happily. Zheng Guoan pulled Yanluo to his office and sat her down, explaining to her how to develop the ethereal weapon and, most importantly, when it could be put into use.
The answer was that they would be able to deploy them in large quantities to various ghost-hunting teams across the country shortly after the New Year. Yan Luo was very happy. With the addition of these weapons, it would be of great help in resisting the ghoul organization hiding in the shadows.
Although Yanluo was confident in controlling the overall situation, he was more pleased with the country's growing strength. The sense of mission to share life and death with the country filled him with inexhaustible energy, and a feeling of boiling blood lingered in his heart.
With this added confidence, Yanluo felt even more at ease.
When they said goodbye to Zheng Guoan, it was already evening. Zheng Guoan watched Yan Luo drive away with reluctance. It had started to snow lightly outside. Yan Luo drove attentively, watching the crowds coming and going on the roadside, which made him feel relaxed.
Having arrived in the capital, Yanluo decided to visit the First Squad's leader, Wang Zuo, the next day. He believed they were also aware of the development of the ethereal weapon, and Yanluo planned to share his speculations and the impending crisis with Wang Yi and the others.
When Yanluo got home, the girls had already returned. She looked at the girls sitting around in the living room on the first floor, each doing their own thing, and then glanced at Ye Shuang cooking in the kitchen and Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci, who were seriously learning how to cook from Chef Ye.
After greeting the girls, Yanluo walked to the kitchen doorway and looked at the three people inside.
Bai Ningbing noticed Yan Luo returning.
"You're back?"
"Hmm, learning to cook?" Yanluo smiled as she looked at the two lovers looking so serious.
Shang Xinci thought she was quite good at cooking after studying for a while, but seeing Ye Shuang cook today was like a mayfly seeing the blue sky, and she learned a lot from her.
Ye Shuang felt a little embarrassed by the gazes of the two seemingly aloof yet incredibly warm beauties. Her face flushed, whether from the heat of cooking or from shyness, was hard to tell.
Even Ye Shuang, a girl, felt shy being stared at. Imagine how an ordinary boy would feel if he were stared at by two beauties like Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci. Anyway, Yan Luo didn't have such worries. He had seen and been seen all kinds of people.
Teacher Xin, who had ended the gathering early, sat in front of her computer and typed this text through gritted teeth. (Actually, I just wanted to write a few more words, hehe. That's how straightforward and honest my fill of writing is.)
Seeing that Bai Ningbing and Shang Xinci were unable to concentrate on their studies, Yan Luo sent them away. Helpless, the young man went to the living room and sat between Tu Keke and Man Sui. The two young girls were watching a music-themed anime on a tablet.
Yanluo took the tablet and used it as a human support, freeing up Tu Keke and Man Sui's hands from taking turns holding the tablet.
Tu Keke pointed to the well-behaved loli in the anime and asked Yan Luo.
"Uncle, should you choose me or her?"
Yan Luo glanced at the little golden retriever from head to toe, then revealed a disdainful smile.
Feeling offended, Tu Keke angrily punched Yan Luo's thigh. Yan Luo chuckled and looked at the little golden retriever and the little pink retriever, asking, "Do you two know about the three most elegant things in life?"
"Tasting tea? Burning incense? Gazing at the moon?" Tu Keke didn't understand what Yan Luo was trying to say.
Man Sui added a few more: "Listening to the rain? Gazing at the stars? Admiring the snow?"
Yan Luo shook her head in denial.
"The three most elegant pursuits in life are making music, playing basketball, and playing shogi."
Tu Keke, who was familiar with all sorts of anime references, immediately understood and looked at Yan Luo with disdain, saying, "Stay away from me, you perverted lolicon."
Man Sui, who hadn't watched enough anime, didn't understand what it meant, so Tu Keke explained it to her. After listening, Man Sui looked at Yan Luo with disdain.
