Chapter 300

~7 min read 1,227 words

On the off‑road vehicle, Lin An ignored Zhang Tie's plea to fly again.

Using telekinesis to 'lift' the off‑road vehicle consumes too much; in just a few seconds, the mental energy expended is comparable to that of a battle.

After all, he relies on the telekinetic power converted from mental energy by the telekinetic crystal; he himself is not a telekinetic Awakened One.

A vehicle weighing seven or eight tons, plus Zhang Tie's weight, is simply too heavy.

As for the speculation, the Military Region's large‑scale support rescue team likely hides something.

After thinking it over, Lin An had Mo Ling send the corpse‑splitting puppet over.

As for letting the flesh puppet devour mutants, Lin An decided to finish the instance task first.

He wasn't sure whether the flesh puppet could be brought into the instance, after all it belongs neither to summoned beasts nor to pets.

【Amoeba Worm】 instance limits four people; if it can't be brought in...

Without Mo Ling's continuous control, the flesh puppet that devours mutants is prone to accidents.

The corpse‑splitting puppet is fine; mainly it's the heartless puppet.

So, the flesh puppet might as well stay outside as a mobile true eye.

In case something happens at Long'an Base.

Two flesh puppets slightly stronger than a First Level mutant, working with Jing Tian and Chu An, should be able to suppress any conspirators.

But Lin An doesn't know that the supposed important information the rescue team speculated about is actually himself.

And Wang Meng never imagined that the Lin An the entire Military Region had been painstakingly searching for would fly away right under his nose.

"Captain Lin..."

Xiong Hanzi sighed helplessly; the flying car just now was indeed exhilarating.

Changing his mind, he sneaked up close and asked Lin An:

"Captain Lin, what gear did those two mutants drop just now? I haven't had a chance to look."

Lin An glanced at him sideways, then a white light flashed in his hand.

Nothing good dropped, so he didn't rush to check.

I don't know if it's Xiong Hanzi's bad luck, but this time the mutants dropped a pile of materials, with only one piece of equipment, and it's white.

Used to getting a lot of gear each time, this meager haul made him not even bother to check.

Xiong Hanzi freed a hand and pinched a cut‑off lip‑shaped object.

A long tube was attached behind the lips, and a viscous liquid dripped down the tube.

"Holy shit, what is this?"

"Gastric Juice Converter (white, special attack modification prop)"

"Special Attack Modification Prop: using it modifies the body, no equipment needed."

"After modification, gain the skill to spit strong acid solution."

"Usage requirement: before use, one must devour a large number of corpses, and produce strong acid of varying damage based on what was devoured."

"Note: the maximum spray range is 50 meters."

"Remark: ugh, it's truly disgusting."

For a moment, the several people in the vehicle, after reading the prop description, were left speechless.

This modification prop dropped from the wailing banshee, and it likewise retains the banshee's unique attack method.

Although the modification prop is precious, being able to spit strong acid also adds a ranged attack, and its effect can be increased depending on the corpse type.

But just thinking about having to eat corpses, or even eat people or monsters alive...

Moreover, one must undergo bodily modification.

It's hard to accept.

Xiong Hanzi felt a bit disappointed; he had been hoping to get a weapon for himself or Gao Tian.

This equipment seems usable only by sand worms or flesh puppets.

Lin An looked at Xiong Hanzi's dejected expression and suddenly recalled that he seemed to still have a gauntlet and a pistol.

He suddenly turned his head, giving Mo Ling a puzzled look:

"Mo Ling, I recall that Wang Kun and Li Lei had equipment when they were alive, right?"

"Is their equipment on the flesh puppets?"

Mo Ling blinked, stunned.

"I don't know..."

"After they turned into flesh puppets, their equipment seems to have disappeared..."

There was too much going on, plus the global announcement after Lin An advanced to Second Level was so abrupt that several people actually forgot about the equipment those two had.

On the way waiting for the flesh puppet to be recalled, Lin An simply went straight to chatting with Chu An via the channel.

Now there is a long distance to Long'an Base, far exceeding the range of internal team communication.

Even if he wanted Jing Tian to act as a relay, he couldn't.

As part of his internal energy was drained, Lin An rather sentimentally sent out his first message:

"Chu An, if you're currently at the base, move somewhat toward the weapons testing facility."

"Take Jing Tian with you, use him as a relay; I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Sending two messages in a row, this is probably the first time he has used the system's chat function in his two lives as a human.

The chat channel consumes a lot, although he can handle it.

But Chu An's physical condition might not be able to handle it.

After all, there are many questions.

Whether it's those hospital glasses, or Huang Shaohua and the global announcement, each matter is very important.

If it weren't for the hurry to get to the dungeon site near the testing facility, he would have wanted to go back to Long'an Base to chat with Chu An face to face.

Soon, Chu An's message came back:

"No need."

"Have Mo Ling remove her head, and you can directly teleport back."

"You can enter the dungeon from anywhere. Cover Mo Ling's head with the thing I gave you."

"I have something very important that requires you to come back."

The meaning is simple and complete.

Lin An blinked slightly.

Chu An also wants to find me? Something important?

Wasn't Chu An saying he was still testing the ghost infant's teleportation function?

Can it be used now?

Moreover, isn't the dungeon supposed to be entered where the satchel was picked up?

However, Chu An seemingly can see his own equipment props; seeing the entry information for the 【Amoeba Worm】 is not surprising.

In his past life, Lin An only knew that dungeons existed, but as for how to enter them—this sort of 'common sense'—he actually didn't know.

After all, nobody who can enter a dungeon would waste energy talking about how to enter a dungeon.

As for the thing Chu An mentioned, it is a simple prop he had made at the weapons testing facility.

It is an iron box with mirrors on all four sides inside.

According to Chu An's meaning, once Mo Ling removes her head she can activate the 'teleportation'; when she can only see herself, she will also disappear along with herself into the 'stomach space'.

As long as Chu An's side first simultaneously removes the head, then reattaches it.

Mo Ling can then bring the people nearby back to the ghost infant at the base, completing the teleportation.

Although the logic is quite strange, according to Lin An's speculation, this is indeed feasible.

Although it feels weird, Lin An is also curious about the ghost infant's teleportation effect.

For some reason, he always feels that Chu An seems to be hiding something from him.
