Chapter 86 Energy Container

"key?!"

After seeing what Zhang Cheng took out from his backpack, everyone's faces showed a hint of surprise.

Zhang Cheng held a cylindrical crystal in his hand, which was very similar to the rhombus crystal that An Chengdao had found.

However, the volume of this cylindrical crystal is obviously much smaller.

"Why is this key so small?" Lu Linhai stepped forward and stared at the crystal for a while.

"In terms of craftsmanship, this is indeed very similar to the key that Uncle An found, but..." Lin Yi thought for a moment, then lowered his head and glanced at Brother Lei on the ground.

Then, Lin Yi said: "But why do I think this thing looks more like a bullet."

"Bullet?" Lu Linhai was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, "When you put it that way, this thing does look similar."

An Chengdao glanced at the crystal in Zhang Cheng's hand, then raised his leg and stepped on Brother Lei, and pulled out the shotgun tied to him.

I checked the loading port of the shotgun and found an identical crystal inside.

However, the crystal in the loading port is obviously not as transparent as the crystal in Zhang Cheng's hand, and the parts inside can be vaguely seen.

"I have seen the key you found before. The parts and processing technology inside are quite complex and are obviously outside the scope of our known technology."

"Of course, this also includes special installations at the edge of the city."

Zhang Cheng continued his analysis: "Although I have never seen what these special devices look like, as far as the keys are concerned, the technological level is obviously higher than what we have learned."

"But, since there is already more powerful technology in this world, why have we never seen it?" Lu Linhai asked.

"Technological blockade." Lin Yi frowned.

"Since those so-called 'real humans' can fabricate and spread false history, they can also possess more powerful technology on their own, thus ensuring that they can absolutely suppress aliens and beasts."

Zhang Cheng didn't answer immediately. He looked at An Chengdao and asked, "Uncle An, can you use a gun?"

An Chengdao stared at the shotgun in his hand for a while and nodded: "There should be no problem with the shotgun. You can try it."

"Fire a shot into the distance."

Load the gun, hold the handguard on the gun body with one hand, and hold the trigger with the other hand.

He put his shoulder against the butt of the gun and pulled the trigger. He heard a "bang" sound, and in an instant, the tree in the distance exploded.

"Why is this gun so powerful?!" Lu Linhai was startled.

An Chengdao frowned and said, "I probably missed."

"And...the gun has very little recoil."

"Missed?" Lu Linhai was even more surprised, "If it missed, why did the tree explode?"

"It's not that the gun is powerful, but that the bullet is powerful." Zhang Cheng explained.

"This crystal-shaped bullet is equivalent to a container that stores energy."

"After shooting, what is shot out is not the bullet, but the energy stored in the crystal."

"Of course, in order to meet this characteristic, this shotgun should not be an ordinary shotgun." Zhang Cheng added.

"The energy emitted will explode when it hits the target or reaches the extreme distance, which is why it generates such great power."

He glanced at Brother Lei on the ground, shook his head and said, "This guy is not as powerful as we thought. When he stopped our car, he wasn't aiming at the tires of the bus."

"On a car traveling at high speed, unless a professional is involved, it is almost impossible to accurately hit the tire."

"Besides, he must ensure that no one in the car is harmed."

"So, what he was aiming for at that time should have been the ground."

"The shot hit the ground in advance. When the bus was driving over, it was hit by the energy in the bullet, causing the tires to explode."

"Then where did his gun come from?" Zhou Kai asked.

"That abandoned city." Zhang Cheng said, "Didn't the information mention some kind of Quail Head Unit? Perhaps this unit was accidentally lost while fighting aliens."

"The slave owner's eagle dog, there is nothing wrong with holding these technological weapons, right?"

"This power seems to be able to penetrate the carapace of the Mantis." Lin Yi looked at the shotgun in An Chengdao's hand.

"If this kind of crystal is a container for storing energy, then the key that Uncle An found was also a weapon, right?" Lu Linhai couldn't help but be curious as he recalled what happened on the edge of the city.

"I don't know." Zhang Cheng shook his head.

"Lin Yi also said just now that this is equivalent to a technological blockade. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to understand it based on the knowledge we have learned."

"Besides, didn't you find that the key was broken?"

When he said this, Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Kai who was aside.

"Of course, the energy stored in the key must be different from the energy in the bullet."

"Otherwise, the moment the key is smashed, you may die again."

Not sure if he felt the attention gathered around him, Zhou Kai apologized: "I was also excited at the time, so..."

"It's okay, it's okay. We are still alive now. Besides, we can reopen with Lin Yi here." Lu Linhai came over and patted Zhou Kai on the shoulder.

Having said that, Zhang Cheng's discovery and what happened one after another put a hint of sadness on Lin Yi and the others' faces - what they had to face might be thousands of times more terrifying than they imagined.

"Let's deal with this guy first." Zhang Cheng noticed the expressions on other people's faces and clapped his hands and said.

"We'll talk about what happens next."

Lin nodded. There was only one road before them. No matter whether it was hope or death, they must go on without hesitation.

Therefore, instead of getting depressed before you even start walking, it is better to take it one step at a time.

Moreover, they are not useless, at least, they are also the chosen ones.

"If you want me to see him, just give him a knife." Lu Linhai glared at Brother Lei on the ground and said angrily, "It's just a matter of hanging out with the aliens, and helping the aliens deal with humans."

"It's simply a disgrace to humanity!"

"Don't use the knife." Lin Yi shook his head, "Wounds caused by sharp weapons will attract rats and strange birds."

"Then throw him into the village." Zhang Cheng said in a calm tone.

"Throw it into the village?" Lu Linhai raised his head and glanced at the village not far away.

At this time, the village is in flames, and if you throw it in, you will definitely be burned to death.

"That's right." Zhang Cheng continued, "If you are burned to death here, you don't have to worry about the smell of blood attracting those weird things."

"By the way, it also allows him to experience the pain of the people he killed before they died, which can be considered a kind of atonement."

Others did not object, after all, Lei Ge was guilty.

An Chengdao left Brother Lei's gun and dragged Brother Lei towards the burning village.

No matter how much he begged for mercy, he was thrown into the village.

"How pitiful." Zhang Cheng smacked his lips and said, "I am such a kind person, but I just can't bear to see this."

"However, he can be considered as staying with the village he cherishes forever."

After the incident in the village came to an end, they did not leave immediately.

The fire burning not far away made their position safe at this time, and they did not have to worry about rats and strange birds approaching.

The long journey and fighting in the village made them quite tired.

So, they decided to take a short rest here.

After sitting on the ground, Zhang Cheng continued to share the intelligence he collected.

As they talked, they talked about Lin Yi's abilities.

After Lin Yi told what he saw about the silk thread and his guess, everyone except Zhou Kai was quite surprised.

Especially Lu Linhai, who said excitedly: "Threads that can see the future! Lin Yi, your ability is too powerful!"

"If we could see the future, wouldn't we be able to avoid all risks next?"

Zhang Cheng stared at Lin Yi and seemed to have a different opinion.

"I still don't think Lin Yi's ability is to control time."

"The thread Lin Yi saw reminded me of something -"

Zhang Cheng touched his chin and said word by word: "The thread of the goddess of fate."
