After hearing Su Ming's words, Haiman froze for a moment, then said with an exasperated smile, "Little Master Su Ming, this isn't the time for jokes. Hurry and give it to me. If we delay any longer, it'll be too late."

"I respect your mechanical skills, but when it comes to fighting, it's best to leave that to the combat personnel!"

A trace of seriousness gradually entered Haiman's voice.

He kept shaking his head inwardly, unable to understand what this mechanic named Su Ming was thinking.

His mechanical skills were indeed superb.

But this was combat—a war!

War wasn't as simple as repairing machines. People would die!

The slightest carelessness could cost someone their life on the battlefield.

How could a mechanic fool around like this?

In Haiman's eyes, this mechanic named Su Ming had clearly lost sight of the situation!

Yet Su Ming stubbornly kept hold of the Sniper Rifle. He then looked at Haiman and said seriously, "I'm a Gene Warrior too. And since I assembled this Sniper Rifle myself, I'm the only one who can fully unleash its power. Open the hatch and let me outside!"

Hearing Su Ming's words, Haiman was stunned.

For some reason, Su Ming's words carried an inexplicable persuasive force. Before he knew it, Haiman had obeyed Su Ming's request and opened the hatch.

Su Ming immediately moved and slipped out through the hatch.

Only after watching Su Ming leave did Haiman come back to his senses. He hurriedly followed him outside.

"Give me a gun. You go back to the ship first!"

After Haiman came outside, he did not stop Su Ming immediately. Instead, he spoke to a soldier beside him.

The mercenary was stunned when he heard Haiman's words, but he still handed over the Planet-level Weapon in his hands.

Haiman took the gun. His Brain Domain Level surged wildly, instantly connecting with the weapon and causing its energy level to rise explosively.

Bang!

When the shot was fired, the Brain Domain Level possessed by a High-grade Level 4 Gene Warrior was extraordinary. In an instant, it activated the weapon's maximum energy level.

Its power was more than twice as great as under normal circumstances!

In an instant, one of the Level 3 Gene Warriors among the Sea Blue Star People was blasted into pieces, while a massive crater was carved into the ground.

Haiman lowered the gun. With such terrifying power, even the weapon needed time to cool down. Otherwise, continuous attacks would probably cause it to break down completely.

Just then, Haiman heard a thunderous, muffled sound from beside him.

Buzz!

The sound was extremely deep. Anyone could tell that it was an attack fired from a Sniper Rifle.

Haiman's heart jolted, and he hurriedly turned his gaze toward the young man beside him.

The shot just now had come from the weapon in the young man's hands.

The energy level unleashed in that instant had actually exceeded 2,800 points!

Haiman was utterly shaken.

Su Ming was actually a Gene Warrior?

And judging by the energy level he had unleashed, he was probably not far from becoming a Level 3 Gene Warrior, right?

To reach such a level at such a young age, how had this boy cultivated?

Before Haiman could recover from his shock—

Buzz!

Another shot rang out. The deep sound echoed as it took the life of another Level 3 Sea Blue Star soldier.

Haiman stared at Su Ming in shock.

Especially at the Sniper Rifle in his hands.

Did this gun not need time to cool down?

Weapons like this did exist, but every one of them possessed an exceptionally powerful and advanced energy system.

This was a secondary attribute of firearms beyond their energy level. If a weapon possessed this attribute, its value would more than double!

The Sniper Rifle modified by this boy did not need cooling time?

That was simply terrifying!

While Haiman was still stunned, a third shot thundered out.

Buzz!

The muffled sound was like the Grim Reaper on the battlefield, effortlessly claiming the life of another Level 3 Gene Warrior on the opposing side.

After three consecutive shots, the Sea Blue Star General finally noticed the unusual sound.

He frowned and looked toward the ship. However, because of the energy barrier covering it, he could not see what was happening inside and had no way to determine who had fired the attacks.

"Be careful! There's a master sniper aboard the enemy ship!"

"Adopt individual combat tactics. Spread out and keep moving. Use blind spots as cover!"

This Level 5 Gene Warrior had rich battlefield experience. He immediately judged the situation and quickly directed his soldiers to make the appropriate tactical arrangements.

Since the enemy ship possessed such a powerful sniper, attacking it head-on was obviously unwise.

By finding cover and constantly changing their positions, they could make it difficult even for a sniper to determine their soldiers' locations.

Very soon, the soldiers behind him began running in all directions.

The Sea Blue Star People had four limbs with lower legs shaped like horse hooves. Once they started running, their speed was exceptionally fierce, instantly causing considerable trouble for the mercenaries inside the ship.

The enemy had begun changing positions. Shooting had become more difficult, making it much harder to hit their soldiers!

But just then, another muffled sound rang out steadily.

Buzz!

A Level 3 Gene Warrior who was rapidly changing direction was instantly blasted into scraps, completely vaporized.

After seeing that shot, the Level 5 Sea Blue Star General's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had seen that shot clearly.

That Level 3 warrior had obviously been changing direction at high speed.

A soldier in the middle of changing direction had an erratic aura and was extremely difficult to lock onto.

Yet just now, that powerful sniper had locked onto their soldier in a mere 0.1 seconds and then decisively fired.

What incredible locking ability, what astonishing marksmanship, what confidence!

This sniper's energy level was not particularly high. He could sense that much.

But the other party possessed an extremely frightening shooting ability—every shot hit its mark, and every shot took a head.

Buzz!

Another shot rang out, instantly blasting another soldier into bloody mush.

"Hide inside obstacles and create blind spots!"

The general frowned and shouted.

But soon, a Sea Blue Star soldier who had hidden behind an obstacle and was already in a blind spot was once again shot dead by the sniper—obstacle and all.

"What?"

At this moment, the general was truly shocked.

Did the opposing sniper not need to aim? Did he not need his eyes to lock onto a target?

How could their warriors still be blasted apart with a single precise shot even after entering a blind spot!?

What he did not know was that years of training in dismantling, assembling, and reconfiguring machinery had given Su Ming an extraordinarily terrifying ability to predict trajectories through blind spots.

The moment a Sea Blue Star soldier entered a blind spot, Su Ming's mind instantly filled in the soldier's movements after entering it.

With a casual shot, he instantly killed the target!

As for Su Ming's marksmanship—it was a terrifying skill painstakingly trained by the system over the past sixteen years, while it had confined him inside a cramped space.

The combination of the two formed an extraordinarily terrifying sniping ability!

Not to mention...

At this moment, Su Ming's vision was gradually being enhanced by the system's functions. Even the Sea Blue Star soldiers hiding behind obstacles were revealed with perfect clarity through the system's x-ray vision!
