54: Chapter 54: The RV is upgraded to level 12, with an A-grade magnetic levitation power engine!

"Ha! Still dare to show off your gear? Brothers, blow this iron turtle into..."

The bald man's words stopped abruptly.

A wall of dark red fire poured out from those four barrels at a terrifying rate of over 1,200 rounds per minute.

Five thousand military-grade armor-piercing incendiary rounds formed a metal storm that defied description.

Time, at this moment, seemed to be stretched and then compressed to the extreme.

The arrogance on the bald man's face froze.

He watched helplessly as the wall of fire consumed him.

0.5 seconds.

Along with the ten-ton modified heavy truck under his feet, man and machine were torn into a pile of burning, twisted scrap metal.

The roar of the explosion was even a beat behind.

The metal storm did not cease.

Chen Chen coldly controlled the virtual crosshair on the dashboard, as if playing a bloody video game.

The wall of fire pushed forward.

Those so-called modified off-road vehicles blocking the front row, welded full of steel plates, were as fragile as paper in front of the 12.7mm armor-piercing incendiary rounds.

Steel plates were easily torn, and fuel tanks were instantly detonated.

One huge fireball after another exploded in a chain at the town exit, illuminating the dim sky in a tragic orange-red.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of explosions, screams, and the wailing of twisting metal mixed together, composing a symphony of apocalyptic destruction.

Several guild executives who were lucky enough to hide behind the convoy hadn't even had time to rejoice at escaping unscathed when a scarlet system warning appeared on their retinas like a brand:

[Warning! You are under fatal attack by Lv.8 player 'Chen Chen' (Title: Tyrant Terminator)!]

[Warning! Your vehicle armor has been penetrated, durability reduced to zero!]

"Chen Chen...?!"

A guild leader in charge of command felt his blood run cold as he looked at those two words.

"Is that Chen Chen, the number one on the level ranking?! Damn! Intelligence error! Retreat! Retreat, for fuck's sake!"

The desperate roar was drowned out by the roar of guns.

The remaining dozen or so vehicles completely lost the will to resist, frantically turning their steering wheels, hoping to escape through the gaps in the blockade.

A cold arc tugged at the corner of Chen Chen's mouth.

He tapped his left index finger lightly on the steering wheel.

[Absolute Control: Gravity Field]!

Ten times gravity, like an invisible giant hand, slammed down!

A pickup truck attempting to accelerate and escape had its tires directly crushed, and its entire body was forcibly slammed into the soft Flesh Wasteland, unable to move.

Immediately after, a precise burst of fire turned the pickup into a burning torch.

This was no longer a battle.

This was a one-sided, suspense-free slaughter.

Chen Chen coldly controlled the crosshair, picking off targets with precision.

The Gravity Field was responsible for crowd control, and the heavy machine guns were responsible for harvesting.

A convoy of a hundred people was blocked by him alone, in one vehicle, at the exit of Gluttony Town, with nowhere to run.

Three minutes.

The gunfire stopped.

The town exit had turned into a burning steel graveyard.

Over a hundred charred corpses were mixed with the twisted wreckage of vehicles, and the air was filled with the burnt smell of roasted meat and the thick stench of blood.

"Time to work."

Chen Chen pushed open the car door.

Shen Wanxing stepped out first, wearing those Stealth Walker Boots.

There was no fear on her little face, but rather a strange kind of excitement.

Her fair little hand tapped lightly on a pile of scrap metal that was still emitting black smoke.

"Explode for me!"

The next second, a spectacle that defied description occurred.

Pillars of golden-purple light shot into the sky, one after another, erupting from the burning wreckage, illuminating this dim Flesh Wasteland as if it were daylight.

The god-level talent [Lucky Critical] triggered wildly!

Under the influence of the Power of Rules, the wreckage of over a hundred modified vehicles was forcibly stripped and decomposed.

Countless shards of primary vehicle core emitting a faint glow gathered like a stream.

Under the bonus of the critical hit multiplier, these shards instantly completed their cohesion and qualitative change.

Thirty-five dark blue [Intermediate Vehicle Cores] floated quietly in mid-air!

And this was only the beginning.

Shen Wanxing ran to the pile of torn-up heavy truck wreckage and tapped again on the purple item dropped by the bald man's corpse, which had already been burned to charcoal.

This time, what erupted was an unprecedented, dazzling golden pillar of light!

An item made of unknown metal foil, shimmering with flowing light, slowly emerged.

[A-Grade Maglev Power Engine]!

[Quality: A-Grade (Rare)]

[Effect: Can create a disruptive maglev power core to replace traditional tire drive. Significantly increases the vehicle's top speed and extreme off-road capability, and completely eliminates driving noise.]

Inside the carriage, Shen Wanbing could not hide her shock in her pitch-black eyes when she saw this.

The value of the [A-Grade Maglev Power Engine] even exceeded the sum of those thirty-five intermediate cores!

It represented an epoch-making revolution in vehicle power!

Chen Chen swept all the loot into his Silver-Grade Storage Ring, his face calm and composed.

He climbed back into the driver's seat, looked at the thirty-five floating intermediate cores on the center console, and immediately slapped this fortune into the core slot of the center console.

"Upgrade."

Boom—

A dazzling white-gold light, like a supernova explosion, completely enveloped the entire Lv.10 mobile heavy fortress!

Inside the vehicle body, there came bursts of dull, thunderous metallic roars.

Steel beams were reorganizing, armor was proliferating, and the structure was leaping!

The chassis suspension system was completely reconstructed; the six B-grade tires slowly retracted, and six sci-fi-looking maglev thruster units flashing with blue electric arcs rose up!

The armor plates on both sides of the vehicle body squirmed like living things, growing more ferocious barbs and deflection angles.

The one-way bulletproof glass on the second floor increased in thickness again, and the surface was even covered with a faint energy film.

The system prompt sounded frantically in Chen Chen's mind.

[Detected massive core energy injection, vehicle level starting to leap!]

[Lv.10... Lv.11... Lv.12!]

[Congratulations! Your mobile heavy fortress has been upgraded to Lv.12! Unlocked new form — 'Ghost Fortress'!]

The light dissipated.

A brand new steel behemoth floated quietly half a meter above the ground.
