Chapter 107: Big Sister, Would You Like to Come Up and Sit for a While?

At that moment, a cannon barrel suddenly appeared on the wooden carriage.

Without hesitation, Lin Mu opened fire.

The heavy machine gun rounds struck the carriage, sending ripples across its surface, and of course, the woman aboard was not spared.

Yet, a yellow, eggshell-like aura appeared around her.

Boom! Boom!

Shells pounded the carriage relentlessly, and a semi-transparent shield flared to life.

Soon enough, under Lin Mu’s barrage, the opposing convoy was completely destroyed.

All personnel perished.

However, Lin Mu remained cautious.

The interface panel showed no kill confirmation.

“Captain, do we need these materials?” one asked.

The enemy’s artillery was unlike their own; it seemed to be powered by a different technology.

“No rush. Let’s wait and see first.”

Of course, Lin Mu wanted the materials, but only if it was safe.

He had plenty of defensive gear, yet he couldn’t be certain of the enemy’s strength; he dared not approach recklessly.

After ten minutes, Lin Mu realized something was off: the fallen showed no blood.

Or rather, there had been blood, but it had since vanished.

A faint smile tugged at Lin Mu’s lips. You say you don’t move? Then I’ll make you move.

The mithril longsword extended from the front of the vehicle, hovering above the blonde girl.

As it neared her head, the blonde suddenly rolled right, leapt backward, and sprang to her feet.

“How did you figure it out?” she demanded.

“Big sister, before you died, couldn’t you have begged for mercy? None of the convoy spoke, and when you got hit, you didn’t even cry out once,” Lin Mu replied, utterly exasperated.

Compared to the vanished blood, these two details were fatal flaws.

“Heh, I didn’t expect you to be so clever,” the blonde woman said with a smile.

Yet, Lin Mu saw terror in her eyes at the sight of the mithril weapon.

These beings weren’t human — could they be demons?

Four heavy machine guns trained on the blonde: “So, who exactly are you?”

At that moment, those previously fallen creatures and humans began to rise, though the vehicles remained wreckage.

Before Lin Mu’s eyes, they transformed from ordinary humans into beings clad entirely in black, horns curling from their heads.

A hiss escaped.

Demons.

No wonder they feared mithril equipment. So that’s it…

Lin Mu glanced at the crucifix in his backpack.

He’d always thought it useless, but now was the time to use it.

“I’ll give you a chance. Submit to me, and I’ll spare your lives.”

“Big sister, you’ve already been killed once by us. Where do you find the courage to say that?” Lin Mu said as he fitted the crucifix onto the vehicle using his modification skills.

“Heh, ordinary weapons are useless against us. As for your mithril longsword, it’s just a slightly stronger weapon, posing little threat. Your vehicles? We can easily—”

The blonde rattled on, but Lin Mu ignored her and continued upgrading the vehicle.

[Option 1]: Massive Mithril Crucifix, 500 Mithril Ingots.

[Option 2]: Holy Flame Crucifix, 100 Mithril Ingots, 100ml Holy Water.

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow. The Holy Flame Crucifix sounded impressive.

He didn’t have holy water, but he did possess mysterious elemental energy.

*Ding~*

[Holy Flame Crucifix (SS)]: A crucifix imbued with divine attributes. Deals 500% damage to demonic creatures and an additional 100% damage to beings of the evil faction.

To humans, it was just a heavy iron bar; to demons, it was a mighty weapon.

“…I can allow you to be my personal attendant. That is my mercy,” the blonde woman said.

Lin Mu twitched at the corner of his mouth. Three minutes had passed, and she was still talking.

“Big sister, have you heard the saying? Villains die from talking too much.”

Suddenly, a silver crucifix shot forth from the front of the vehicle. Silver flames burst forth, engulfing the blonde.

Her face twisted with fear as black smoke curled from her skin. She stumbled backward.

Bang!

Lin Mu grimaced; the range was a bit short.

No matter, he could just drive closer.

The blonde fled ahead, Lin Mu in pursuit.

As for the other creatures, those touched by the holy flames turned to ash.

They likely weren’t true demons but summoned beings, servants of the blonde woman.

“This is impossible! How do you possess holy water? I’ve been on this planet for three years and never seen any!” she exclaimed.

Lin Mu raised an eyebrow. He had changed his mind; he wouldn’t kill her yet. He wanted to learn more about her situation.

He checked the vehicle’s speed — it had reached 100 kilometers per hour. This woman was fast.

Still, she couldn’t get any faster.

The blonde glanced back at Lin Mu and accelerated.

Lin Mu raised another eyebrow. That speed was impressive.

He had the accelerator floored.

“001, can you catch her?”

“Master, my speed is slow.”

Lin Mu frowned but didn’t mind.

He would take action.

“Transform!”

As the vehicle raced forward, it instantly shifted into a helicopter, its rotors spinning wildly.

Beneath it hung a garbage bin that refused to detach.

In this form, the top speed was 500 kilometers per hour, which didn’t quite satisfy Lin Mu.

“A helicopter? Not a fighter jet? A bit disappointing.”

He preferred the swift flight of a fighter jet over a helicopter.

The distant convoy fell silent, watching Lin Mu take to the sky.

“Uh, we’re all in the same survival game, right?”

“I’m not so sure anymore.”

“We all agreed to drive, so why is there suddenly a plane?”

At this point, their vehicles were all level 8 and hadn’t unlocked second forms.

Once they did, Lin Mu could lead them to explore the area by flight — provided they had enough fuel.

Fortunately, with his current reserves, that wouldn’t be a problem.

In the distance, Lin Mu lowered the helicopter’s altitude to fly alongside the blonde.

“Big sister, how long do you plan to run? Want to hop on and have a talk?”

The blonde trembled with rage. What was this thing? Why could it transform?

She could understand people transforming, but why would metal do the same?

The blonde plunged into the forest, seeking cover among the trees.

“Sigh… Why bother?”

A flamethrower extended from beneath the helicopter, spraying a fiery jet tens of meters long toward the blonde’s position.

The trees ignited, and a faint moan escaped from within the flames.
