655 Strength Decides Status (1)

Song s.h.i.+ continued to observe. He was not shooting at the Iron-skinned Wolves when he saw them. Instead, he was waiting for an opportunity, especially when the angle was right. Otherwise, he would not be able to hit these vital points.

“Immortal Emperor killed a Level 2 Iron-skinned Wolf. Reward: 30 military merits.”

This time, it took a moment for him to be recognized as a military merit. The Iron-skinned Wolf that had been hit in the mouth by Song s.h.i.+ had already died.

He continued to aim at the mutated beasts charging over and tried to fire two shots, but he failed to kill the Iron-skinned Wolf that was advancing at high speed.

However, he quickly seized an opportunity and shot a wolf in the ear, killing it on the spot.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

More than a hundred people from the cannon fodder camp rushed out to block the front line and cooperated with the cannon to suppress the invading Iron-skinned Wolves.

Boom boom boom!

In the beginning, grenades were thrown out and exploded, sending many Iron-skinned Wolves flying.

The wolf pack attacked a few times, but they could not break through the defense line immediately.

Under the chaotic gunfire and grenade explosions, some Iron-skinned Wolves were also killed, making the living Iron-skinned Wolves even more frustrated.

This also meant that they were not afraid of death.

“Lin Lili killed a Level 3 Iron-Skinned Wolf. Reward: 180 military merits.”

“Immortal Emperor killed a Level 3 Iron-skinned Wolf. Reward: 140 military merits.”

This time, two reminders appeared. Song s.h.i.+ did not pay much attention to them. There were many people here, and he was not the only one with good marksmans.h.i.+p.

Moreover, with so many shots fired, the element of luck would not be small.

Song s.h.i.+’s gaze landed in the distance. When he heard the change in the wolves’ cries, the fearless wolves immediately turned around and retreated without hesitation.

“The first wave of attacks is over?”

Song s.h.i.+ reacted and took the opportunity to aim at a wolf and shoot.

BANG!

“Howl…”

Among the retreating wolves, a wolf’s b.u.t.t spurted out blood and it fell to the ground with a scream. It twitched a few times and stopped breathing.

“Awesome!”

The people around him had no choice but to admit defeat. This person had killed four Iron-skinned Wolves in just a few minutes and each time, he attacked different vital points. His marksmans.h.i.+p was really G.o.dly.

Under the fort, at the high point, among a few official soldiers, a burly man looked at Song s.h.i.+ and said, “He’s really a talent. He’s much more useful than automatic aiming. Automatic aiming can’t kill mutated beasts.”

“Yes, when dealing with mutated beasts below Level 5, this marksmans.h.i.+p has always been successful.”

The Adjutant wearing tactical gla.s.ses nodded. “Camp Commander, this person was an orphan previously and has never come into contact with any professional marksmans.h.i.+p training. I wonder if he has the Sharpshooter Talent in his genes?”

“Who cares? As long as he has the ability, he can be placed in an important position on this battlefield.”

The Camp Commander did not care about Song s.h.i.+’s past. In his eyes, those who came here would naturally be able to obtain resources as long as they had the ability. Those who did not have the ability would die early and reincarnate early.

The Iron-skinned Wolf came and left quickly. After leaving behind more than ten corpses, it disappeared into the light and returned to the dark wilderness.

In the wilderness, the vegetation was flouris.h.i.+ng. Ordinary weeds were five feet tall, giving Song s.h.i.+ a sense of desolation.

“Repelled the attack of the mutated beasts. Everyone has received 20 military merits.”

The mechanical voice echoed. Song s.h.i.+ recalled that the requirement to obtain freedom was 10,000 military merits. In comparison, the military merits he obtained today were still far from enough.

However, his military merits were already more than ten times the average. If he had such gains every day, he would be free in less than a month.

The problem was that it was impossible for mutated beasts to invade every day. It would take more than half a year to acc.u.mulate more than 10,000 military merits, and this was only possible if there were no accidents.

The surrounding cannon fodder heaved a sigh of relief when they saw the wolf pack retreat.

To them, once the wolf pack broke through the blockade of the fire line, death would descend. Repelling them in advance was the most perfect outcome. They would be able to obtain military merits without danger.

“Wartime status has been removed. Third Company, patrol. First Company, clean up the battlefield.”

The Adjutant at the fort ordered and added, “Immortal Emperor, come over.”

Everyone looked at Song s.h.i.+ with different gazes.

They more or less knew that Song s.h.i.+ was new. He had performed so well the first time he encountered an invasion of mutated beasts. Some people were curious about Song s.h.i.+’s background, but they also had mixed feelings.

With such marksmans.h.i.+p, he would probably be promoted and placed in an important position very soon.

“I didn’t misjudge this kid.”

Brother Cha looked at Song s.h.i.+ happily. “But I didn’t expect him to show his ability so quickly.”

Spade sighed. “Good marksmans.h.i.+p is one of the most valued abilities on the battlefield. After all, we’re not superhumans and aren’t qualified to fight against mutated beasts. We still have to rely on guns.”

Hot weapons were the only thing ordinary people could rely on to fight mutated beasts, and the ability to use such weapons determined the upper limit of the threat they could pose.

Sharpshooters could kill mutated beasts with their mortal bodies. Those with ordinary marksmans.h.i.+p could only hara.s.s mutated beasts.

Song s.h.i.+ arrived at the command center. This time, many people who did not look at him directly smiled. It was obvious that strength spoke here. Strength determined status, even if he was a prisoner on death row.

The Camp Commander was a bearded man with energetic eyes. Song s.h.i.+ could sense an energy in this person’s body at a glance. He should be called a so-called superhuman.

Superhumans were existences with powerful strength in this world, including cultivators and natural ability users. There were martial artists, Qi cultivators, mages, knights, and so on. Ability users were special existences born from latent superpowers. The ratio was very small, one in ten thousand.

In Song s.h.i.+’s opinion, ability users were existences with special bloodlines and were natural powerhouses.

“You don’t know how to greet the Camp Commander?”

The Adjutant berated.

The Camp Commander waved his hand. “It’s fine. The cannon fodder camp doesn’t have that many rules.”

He smiled at Song s.h.i.+. “Immortal Emperor, your performance is very outstanding. These are official military guns. There are laser guns, sniper rifles, and a.s.sault rifles. You can choose one.”

Under his instructions, the soldier beside him opened a few boxes and revealed the weapons inside.

The laser gun was very thick and short. It was a stark contrast to a sniper rifle that was more than a meter long. The a.s.sault rifle had a larger magazine.

Song s.h.i.+ said without hesitation, “Sniper rifle.”

“I knew you would choose a sniper rifle. This is a hundred special armor-piercing bullets. As long as you shoot accurately, you can even kill a Level 5 mutated beast. I hope you can maximize its value.”

The Camp Commander smiled.

“I want this rifle too.”

Song s.h.i.+ pointed at the rifle beside him, which was obviously much more advanced. He would not make a choice. If not for the fact that he had never used a laser gun before, he would have taken them all.

“You’re quite greedy.”

The Camp Commander smiled at Song s.h.i.+. “I can give it to you, but you have to promise that even if you earn enough military merits to leave, you have to stay here for a year.”

“Then I still want enough nutrient fluid. I also want to be qualified to eat the meat of these mutated beasts.”

Song s.h.i.+ stated his request. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it would take him more than half a year to earn 10,000 military merits. It was fine to stay for a few more months, but if he could obtain cultivation resources in advance, it could resolve the problem of him consuming too much Essence Qi.

“Sure. As long as you kill a mutated beast, you’re qualified to get a certain amount of flesh and blood. As for the nutrient fluid, you can use military merits to exchange for it. Don’t worry, the military merits you obtain in exchange for freedom are calculated by the military merits you acc.u.mulate, not the military merits you retain.”
