Chapter 47: Chapter 46: Gun of Non-Killing—Hunting Elephant
Ma Ran turned his face and discovered a young man wearing night vision goggles pointing a gun at him.
The opposite party was wearing the sa blue and yellow uniform as Liu Huadie, He Nanguang, and Wu Di, with a burly physique, approximately 1.95 ters tall.
Ma Ran’s gaze shifted to the gun in the other man’s hand: "I’m Ma Ran from Grass Hut Academy, here for field research in the A3 District about a week ago."
"Pointing a gun at soone is not a good habit."
The weapon looked like a Desert Eagle, with a pure black coating, and the accompanying bullet caliber was very large, nad "Hunting Elephant."
The performance of this weapon was extrely powerful, and as its na suggests, it could take down an African elephant with a single shot.
The Hunting Elephant was specifically developed for Inner Qi Cultivators, one of the first-generation weapons unique to China’s Extraordinary Ones.
Its recoil was imnse; if an ordinary person got their hands on this gun, they might dislocate their wrist before even hitting anyone if they pulled the trigger.
Ma Ran had a deep impression of it because Wu Di from his past life often used a novice Guardian, who shattered their hand bones with one shot, as a cautionary tale.
"The current ti is 1:05 a.m."
The tall young man adjusted his night vision goggles with his left hand and looked at Ma Ran with a blank expression, saying coldly, "At this hour, a normal person wouldn’t be wandering around here alone."
"I never point a gun at fellow mbers of other academies."
"But you..."
"Are you really human?"
Ma Ran had to admit that his actions might seem bizarre to an outsider.
However...
The other’s extre reaction and high alert status indicated a lot of issues.
"In the entire A3 District, even without considering the transient individuals, there should be about 1,100 strictly trained residents with high military training."
The tall young man continued coldly: "But now there’s not a single awake person here!"
"Everyone I’ve seen has fallen into a deep sleep."
"No matter what thods are used, they can’t be awakened."
Upon hearing this, Ma Ran calmly said: "If you don’t believe , my credentials should be enough to prove my identity."
The highly vigilant tall young man squinted slightly, feeling sweat starting to form on his palms.
The young man in front of him was being aid at by a dark gun barrel, yet he maintained a calm and composed deanor.
That serene gaze sent a chill down his spine.
"I’ve seen Ma Ran’s photo."
The tall young man swallowed hard, feeling the hairs on his arm stand on end.
Clearly, he was in control, but the other’s reaction made him feel as if he was the weaker party.
He tried to steady the gun: "Though you have the sa face as Ma Ran, that doesn’t prove you are Ma Ran."
"Docunts could be forged, or taken from soone else."
Ma Ran glanced at the tall young man and calmly revealed his na and background: "Song Chu, an abnormal admission mber of Fulan Academy, joined with the identity of a ’Supernatural Phenona Witness’, with exceptional talent in Black Rock Martial Arts."
"Your Inner Qi scores were ranked in the top three before Wu Di of the second batch was recruited."
"Due to encountering an outer star creature massacre while traveling, with all your travel companions killed, you beca extrely vigilant."
"If I’m not mistaken, you’ve filled four acupoints by now and reached the Second Rank of Inner Qi."
Saying this, Ma Ran relaxedly moved his shoulder and neck joints.
A mont later, he looked at Song Chu and said slowly: "Since you know my na, you should understand..."
"Even if you’re holding a ’Hunting Elephant,’ it poses no threat to ."
"You’re tall, well-built, with excellent motor skills and innate talent, and your combat ability has already reached the average level of Third Rank of Inner Qi."
"You’re very strong."
Ma Ran looked at him appreciatively: "Very strong!"
"With innate talent and the support of Inner Qi, even so fully ard elite special forces can’t compare to you."
"But..."
"I’m at the Sixth Rank of Inner Qi now."
"Perhaps you’re not quite clear on what the concept of the Sixth Rank of Inner Qi is."
"So..."
"Let
show you now."
Ma Ran said this while slowly raising his hand, tapping lightly in front of him.
Seeing his movent, Song Chu’s pupils instantly dilated, about to fire at non-lethal areas to stop Ma Ran’s dangerous action.
But he tragically discovered that his hands wouldn’t obey his commands!
No!
It wasn’t just his hands!
His whole body was in a stiff state.
It was as if, as ntioned in martial arts novels, his acupoints had been struck!
"Theoretically, once you reach the Fifth Rank of Inner Qi, you can use an Inner Qi Bullet to paralyze the target’s limbs without causing fatal harm, disrupting the normal function of the nervous system."
Leisurely approaching Song Chu, Ma Ran continued to speak while taking the Hunting Elephant from his hand: "Rest assured."
"This state of yours will only last for about three seconds."
"You’ll recover soon."
Before long, Song Chu gradually regained his mobility.
He looked at Ma Ran sowhat defiantly: "Weren’t you afraid I’d shoot just now?"
Song Chu actually had the chance to pull the trigger.
But due to hesitation, he missed the best opportunity to win.
Ma Ran almost laughed out loud.
Afraid?
Why should he fear a little toy?
The Hunting Elephant was famously known as the "Gun of Non-Killing."
Perhaps due to the rapid pace of technological updates or because it was rely a transitional product.
From its inception to its retirent, the total five hundred Hunting Elephants didn’t kill a single outer star lifeform.
As a seasoned Civilization Guardian baptized in the hail of bullets, not to ntion one small gun, even if three or five semi-automatic rifles were aid at Ma Ran, he wouldn’t feel fear.
His heart rate wouldn’t even increase.
"My neural reflex speed is much faster than yours."
Ma Ran took out a wet wipe and wiped the acquired handgun clean.
Playing with the Hunting Elephant in his hand, he confidently said: "Unless an earthquake suddenly occurs, you have no chance of hitting ."
"Your probability of hitting
within ten shots is zero."
"And the Hunting Elephant only holds five rounds."
Song Chu stood dumbfounded, watching Ma Ran disassemble the Hunting Elephant into a pile of parts in one second and then reassemble the firearm in two seconds.
The whole process was smooth and incredibly skilled.
Song Chu wiped away the sweat on his chin and sincerely said: "I’m sorry, that was my mistake."
"I hope you can forgive ."
The fact that he didn’t imdiately retaliate after being countered indicated that Ma Ran was likely human and not an outer star lifeform pretending to be an Earthling.
Ma Ran gave him a light look, shaking the specially crafted handgun called "Hunting Elephant" in his hand: "Consider this your apology gift."
"Earlier, you ntioned..."
"Everyone in the A3 District, aside from the two of us, might have already fallen into a coma."
"This is a red alert-level ergency."
"We must find a way to resolve this crisis!"
Ma Ran was a rather petty person, but this misunderstanding was easily forgiven.
In a past life, Song Chu sacrificed himself in the "A3 District Nightmare Event."
As a simple Inner Qi Cultivator, if it weren’t for his extre vigilance, Song Chu wouldn’t have qualified to perish together with the Nightmare Mother and resolve the crisis.
Song Chu looked at the "Hunting Elephant" in Ma Ran’s hand, hesitant to speak.
What had this person been through?
His disassembly process was so natural!
Not a trace of deliberate effort, skilled to the point of absurdity, without any flaw.
It was as if he had done the sa thing hundreds of tis...
