Runemaster in the Last Days-Chapter 352: Energy Guns

It should be because there were Samuel and Peter in this crack at this time.

It was not easy for the higher ups to give order to these people who returned from that world. After all, finding these people in the first place would be difficult. If they were like her and didn't showcase their ability, it was basically impossible for others to find them.

Unless they made a blunder.

Thinking about her own blunder, Riya blushed slightly.

Well, it was a bit embarrassing when she thought back about it.

Riya shook her head and felt that if Samuel and Peter were to make a move, they would definitely demand compensation or negotiate with the higher ups. Because even if they were stronger, they have no obligation to help everyone.

She walked to Ruby and planned to talk with the other party.

After all, Riya knew that Ruby wanted to tag along.

…

On the other side, Samuel and Peter had a dark face.

"I don't want to do this either, but the higher ups requested for us to go deeper to investigate the crack," the leader said helplessly. As a soldier, he was taught to obey order and the leader felt really unwilling this time.

Because he knew how dangerous these magic beasts were.

If they were powerful enough to deal with these magic beasts on their own, then the leader would be more at ease. But most of them were only rank 1 magic warrior and their main weapon was still their gun.

It was fine to deal with rank 1 or lower magic beasts.

But rank 2 magic beasts were a bit hard because they had to specifically target the weakness.

Rank 3?

Guns were not effective.

"I'm not a soldier and I have no obligation to listen to your order," Samuel said calmly. "I agree to help the researcher to enter and will protect them only around the entrance of the crack. If you want to go deeper, you can go on your own. Mind you, there might be rank 3 or even higher magic beasts down there."

He himself hadn't explored the crack all the way down because it was really dangerous. Even though he had finally reached rank 5, but it was still far away from the final rank and Samuel knew very well that the improvement in the future would be even more difficult.

Because he had no means to upgrade fast like he did in his previous life.

Moreover, the amount of resources one needed to reach rank 7 was very massive. The leap from rank 6 to rank 7 was so big that many people might have to work for decades just to have enough resources.

In that world, he was lucky because he was from a prominent family.

All he needed to do was to contribute to the family for a year or so before he could get the necessary resources.

Otherwise, Samuel would never have the experience what it feel to reach rank 7.

The power of rank 7 magicians, magic warriors, and even warriors were extremely high and had defied many laws. It was precisely because of this that the resources they needed were also so much.

If it was based on their ordinary improvement, it was estimated that they would not be able to reach rank 7 even after decades with their own talent.

"I'm from the Martial Arts Association and your leader can't order me either." Peter shook his head in refusal. "I'm always on the frontline as the tank, do you think it's easy for me?"

For a warrior like him, unknown exploration was the same as betting their life and death.

Because Peter knew very well that he will always be the first line of defense when dealing with these magic beasts. If they bypassed him, there would be many people whose lives are in danger.

"I…" The leader opened his mouth and then sighed again. "Shall we come out and talk with them directly?"

He might have high position in the military, but this worth nothing in front of these two people.

"Yes." Samuel's eyes were gloomy.

He wanted to know what those b*stards planned to say to him.

They came out of the crack and then looked at the equipment settings. There were already some temporary facilities set up around the crack so that they could communicate with the people in Continent Z's Capital City.

Zzt!

Mr. A's face came out and he also looked ugly. "Mr. Samuel, my apologies, but the Prime Minister of Food wants you to explore the crack deeper… in exchange, we'll get you the latest weapon developed by the researchers."

"Ordinary guns are useless for me," Samuel said lightly.

"It's energy gun… a new type of gun that used fusion of energy. At the same time, I'll give you the energy block that you can use to charge it," Mr. A said slowly. "This weapon's existence should be a secret."

Energy gun…

Samuel's eyes condensed.

Continent Z's technology was actually lagging behind Continent Y and the two continents have been competing secretly. But Continent Y's law of weapon was laxer than Continent Z, so some people could already use this special gun.

Otherwise, they could only use the relatively 'ordinary' gun.

But in Continent Z, these guns were only circulated within the special armies and would not flow into the masses.

As for the other two continents… well, let's not talk about them.

Their technology was even more backward and there was nothing to say.

The earthquake did destroy many facilities, including the factories that produced various weapons. But at the same time, the appearance of mana meant that many people were already trying to figure out how to use it for weapons.

Of course, their main concern was food and drinks.

But after that matter has been solved, the government started to pay attention to the weapons.

The best prototype that they could have was the energy guns.
