105: Zhao Zihan's Heavy Artillery

"A new toy?"

Zhao Zihan was stunned for a moment. Before she could react, a massive, sci-fi-looking metal crate materialized out of thin air in front of her.

The crate opened automatically, revealing its contents.

It was a gun—or rather, a cannon.

The entire body was dark silver, two meters long, and filled with rugged lines and precision components. It lacked a traditional barrel; in its place were two parallel electromagnetic rails. Resting quietly between the rails was a 1.5-meter-long special alloy harpoon that shimmered with a cold, metallic glint.

The tail of the harpoon was connected to a high-strength Nano-cable that extended to a winch located beneath the cannon's body.

[Item: Electromagnetic Rail Harpoon Heavy Cannon (Deep Sea Sniper Type)]

[Price: 8,000 national fortune points]

[Effect: Utilizing the principle of electromagnetic acceleration, it can fire custom harpoons at ten times the speed of sound. It comes with a built-in Deep-sea Ballistic Correction System that automatically adjusts the trajectory based on parameters such as water current, pressure, and target distance, ensuring a perfect hit every time.]

"Hiss..."

When the item information appeared in Zhao Zihan's field of vision, she couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Ten times the speed of sound? Automatic ballistic correction?

This thing was simply a sniper's ultimate dream!

"Administrator..." Zhao Zihan's heart warmed. She knew that the Administrator must have prepared this for her.

"Don't just stand there, Zi Han!" Wang Yi's voice rang out over the channel. "Take it to Number Three Firing Port immediately! That beast is charging!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Zihan no longer hesitated. Her body, enhanced by the t-virus, erupted with incredible strength. She easily hoisted the heavy cannon, which looked to weigh at least several hundred kilograms, onto her shoulder and dashed gracefully toward the base's Number Three Firing Port.

Number Three Firing Port was located on the base's flank, directly facing the direction from which the Megalodon was charging.

Zhao Zihan skillfully opened the firing port's protective plate and braced the heavy cannon steadily on the firing platform.

As she looked out through the cannon's optical scope, a massive sense of pressure washed over her.

That Megalodon was charging straight at the base with an unstoppable, frenzied momentum!

Its massive mouth was slightly agape. Although half of its lower jaw was shattered, its terrifying teeth and immense size were still enough to make one feel suffocated.

It intended to perish together with the base!

"Captain! It's moving too fast! It's less than a thousand meters away!"

"Shield energy is down to 70% from the previous impact! It won't hold against this hit!" Zhang Wei's voice was filled with terror.

Inside the base, the piercing alarm sounded once again.

Everyone's heart jumped into their throat.

"Steady!" Wang Yi's voice remained calm. "Zi Han, listen for my command!"

"I'm here!" Zhao Zihan took a deep breath, suppressing all her nervousness and fear. Her finger rested steadily on the trigger, her eyes locked onto the behemoth in the scope.

"Wang Yi, you take control of the field!"

Su Yuan's voice simultaneously rang out in Wang Yi's mind.

"I've transmitted the Megalodon's physiological structure and real-time movement data to your Tactical Eyepiece. Its weakness is its left eye! That's where its cerebral cortex is thinnest!"

"Now, use your lightning to create an absolutely stable shooting environment for Zhao Zihan!"

An incredibly detailed 3D perspective view appeared before Wang Yi's eyes. The Megalodon's skeleton, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels were all clearly labeled with different colored lines. Among them, the position of the left eye was highlighted with a glaring red circle.

Beside the perspective view, a series of frantically jumping data streams displayed the Megalodon's speed, angle, and the subtle changes in the surrounding water currents in real-time.

"Copy that!"

A sharp light flashed in Wang Yi's eyes as he reached out both hands and pressed them against the command center's porthole.

Zzzzt—

It was no longer a violent lightning ball, but countless hair-thin, weak electrical currents that spread from his fingertips, silently merging into the seawater ahead.

With the assistance of Su Yuan's terrifying computational power, which rivaled a supercomputer, Wang Yi controlled his Lightning Power with such precision for the first time.

He didn't attack the Megalodon directly. Instead, he distributed the current precisely throughout the vast stretch of ocean between the Megalodon and the base.

"Phase one, Electrolysis Start!"

With Wang Yi's low shout, the water in that area began to be rapidly electrolyzed at a rate invisible to the naked eye.

Countless tiny bubbles of hydrogen and oxygen were generated from nothing, only to instantly burst under the immense pressure of the deep sea.

The Megalodon, in the middle of its frenzied charge, suddenly felt the surrounding seawater become viscous and noisy.

Its proud lateral line sensory system was instantly jammed by countless chaotic micro-vibrations and pressure changes, as if it had plunged headlong into a mass of cotton.

Its speed involuntarily slowed down.

"Phase two, Magnetic Field Interference!"

Wang Yi increased the current again, constructing an invisible, weak electromagnetic field around the Megalodon.

This electromagnetic field did no physical harm to the Megalodon's body, but it acted like a massive source of noise, completely shielding the bio-electric sensing capabilities it used for navigation and positioning.

In an instant, the Megalodon was rendered truly blind.

It swung its head aimlessly in the water, having lost its target. Its massive body even began to spin in place uncontrollably.

"Now!" Wang Yi roared. "Zi Han, fire!"

Almost at the same moment Wang Yi's voice rang out, a golden, glowing predictive aim point calibrated by Su Yuan himself appeared clearly over the Megalodon's left eye in Zhao Zihan's scope.

Without the slightest hesitation!

Zhao Zihan pulled the trigger!

Hummm—

There was no deafening roar, only a dull hum that sounded like it came from the future—the sound of electromagnetic acceleration.

The blue electric arcs on the electromagnetic rails flared to their limit!

In the next second, that special alloy harpoon, propelled by an unimaginable and terrifying kinetic energy, instantly vanished from the rails!

It was fired so fast!

So fast that the seawater didn't even have time to apply resistance!

Due to high-speed friction with water molecules, the tip of the harpoon formed a Supercavitation bubble of ultra-high-pressure steam, enveloping the entire harpoon and allowing it to move almost entirely unaffected by underwater drag.

A white line flashed through the pitch-black depths!

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The massive Megalodon, still spinning in confusion, suddenly stiffened.

In the center of its left eye—an eyeball larger than a basketball court—a tiny, insignificant black dot appeared.

Then, that dot rapidly expanded as countless spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered the entire eyeball, centered on that point!

Pfft!

A muffled sound.

The massive eyeball burst like a punctured water balloon!

Dark green body fluids mixed with countless pieces of shredded tissue erupted outward.

And that alloy harpoon, after piercing the eyeball, continued with undiminished momentum, carrying the force of a thunderbolt as it buried itself deep, deep into the creature's fragile brain!

The Megalodon's massive body began to twitch violently.

It let out a silent cry filled with pain and despair. Its massive tail fin thrashed wildly, stirring up a catastrophic undercurrent.

But all of this was merely a futile struggle.

Its life force was draining away at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Finally, its mountain-like frame slowly stopped twitching. The massive body began to sink uncontrollably toward the deeper, darker abyss of the ocean floor.

Just then, a cold, vast mechanical voice echoed throughout the entire national destiny arena.
