As he spoke, Su Rui came to Pozëmka's side and, under Pozëmka's questioning gaze, took out his Rapid-Fire Gun from the System Space.

"I am capable of fighting too."

Su Rui winked at Hong Xue, then aimed his rapid-fire pistol at the drone on the dome. Although the bullet drop-off at this distance might mean the damage wouldn't be that high, Su Rui only needed to make a show of it anyway.

Aim at what appears to be the critical spot and fire.

With a "bang," Su Rui fired only one shot, then watched as the bullet he fired precisely traced a trajectory, predicting the drone's movement and hitting what appeared to be its core.

In fact, the core of the drone is well protected, at least it won't be easily damaged by a single bullet from a rapid -Rapid-Fire Gun.

However, Su Rui only needed to use the Rapid-Fire Gun attack as a decoy.

With the ammunition hitting its target, Su Rui directly modified the drone's system, changing its objective to first eliminate obstacles, and then begin dismantling Durin's dungeon from the useless corners.

Subsequently, the attack was first targeted at the Eunectes and Gavial, who had just arrived in the city and were still unaware of the situation.

With Big Ugly as a human shield, the Eunectes and the others won't get hurt.

Su Rui watched as the Eunectes began to move towards the edge of the city, then turned to look at Pozëmka:

"The drone seems to be malfunctioning. How about we attack from a distance?"

Pozëmka nodded. Although she had some doubts about how things were unfolding, none of that affected her belief in Su Rui's words, especially since Su Rui had just accurately hit the target.

So, led by Su Rui, Pozëmka and Myrtle followed him and found a good spot for shooting that was not easy for the Eunectes to detect. They began to aim at the drones in the sky that were attacking the Eunectes with weapons that were not particularly powerful.

Pozëmka set up her heavy crossbow, while Su Rui put away her Rapid-Fire Gun and took out parts from her System Space to tinker with.

Volume 8, Chapter 496: Hide Quickly

"Su Rui, what are you doing?"

Myrtle looked at Su Rui with some confusion, not understanding why he was distracted during the battle.

Without looking up, Su Rui continued assembling the launch interlocking device with the parts in his hand, saying:

"My Rapid-Fire Gun isn't powerful enough. At this distance from Taiyuan, neither its range nor its power can effectively damage that drone. The malfunction just now was probably just a fluke."

As he spoke, Su Rui had already assembled the most important launch component, and then took out the other parts from the System Space.

At the same time, Su Rui didn't forget to answer Myrtle's question:

"As you can see, I prepared these parts beforehand, but I just haven't had the time or opportunity to assemble them."

Pozëmka, who was firing a heavy crossbow while keeping an eye on the drones in the distance, said considerately:

"Don't worry, I see the targets the drones are attacking. They are very capable fighters, so there's no need to worry about them getting hurt. Besides, the battle should be over soon."

Just as Pozëmka was saying this, Su Rui had also assembled his sniper rifle. It was a pity that the technology on Terra was a bit lacking, otherwise Su Rui could have made some sniper rifles that could store energy. However, they would have to be adapted to the technology here.

With this in mind, Su Rui lay down next to Pozëmka, spreading her legs to counteract the recoil of the sniper rifle.

While this posture is generally used when using heavy sniper rifles with extremely high recoil, it's pretty much the same for Su Rui, who is now Durin.

With the sniper scope aimed at the distant aircraft, aided by the Scanning Vision and careful observation through the scope, it was impossible for Su Rui to hit the wrong target.

This time, it really can penetrate the control core of the drone.

As Su Rui loaded a long sniper bullet into the magazine, he aimed under Myrtle's unwavering gaze, and then pulled the trigger when he anticipated the target would pass through his path.

The recoil of the sniper bullet pushed Su Rui's body backward, but at that moment, Su Rui and Myrtle were focused on the drone not far away.

The sniper bullet sliced through the air with a deafening roar before hitting the control core and exploding, shattering the chip buried deep within the drone's fuselage.

Even so, Su Rui made slight modifications to the drone's system, and even after losing flight system support, the drone continued to attempt to attack the Eunectes and the Big Ugly creature after crashing.

The Eunectes, piloting the Big Ugly, drew its Chainsaw Sword and charged towards the drone, accompanied by the Big Ugly's own energetic electronic music.

Gavial was equally determined, her sprinting technique emitting a piercing and unsettling buzzing sound. Her speed was only a few seconds slower than that of the Big Ugly, who was accelerated by rocket boosters.

Su Rui then contentedly put away his sniper rifle and patted Pozëmka, who was still preparing to provide long-range support:

"Alright, they've already rushed up to the drone. Attacking them with crossbows now might accidentally injure them."

As Su Rui spoke, she tried to reach out and pull the Eunectes up.

Even with Durin's strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to pull Pozëmka, who is like Lupo, up.

Although Pozëmka was somewhat puzzled, she still followed Su Rui's lead and was pulled up, asking in confusion:

"What's wrong? Should we go over and talk to them?"

"Of course not. Myrtle and I can't be found out by them, and neither can you. Now that you know about us, we can't let you have any contact with them."

As Su Rui spoke, she took Pozëmka's hand and led her downstairs to a corner where the Eunectes and the others wouldn't find them.

"Why can't it be discovered?"

Although she had some doubts, Pozëmka mainly found it amusing. What bad intentions could Durin possibly have? Maybe he was just having a fight with his friends?

However, since Su Rui had made this request, Pozëmka Su Rui to go along with it and see what he planned to do next.

"Hmm... I'll tell you the answer, but don't talk nonsense."

Su Rui glanced at Myrtle, and their eyes met, instantly understanding each other's meaning. So, while pulling Pozëmka's wrist, Su Rui said:

"Actually, we're with the people over there. We're all from a medical organization called Rhodes Island. We came to this Durin underground city after receiving a distress signal."

"Request for help? Why? Aren't city malfunctions minor issues?"

Pozëmka couldn't help but feel nervous, and lowered her head to stare intently at Su Rui's face.

"The city's malfunctions are a minor issue, but the real problem is the ever-expanding Active Originium Vein surrounding this underground city. It's safe to say that this city cannot continue to exist while surrounded by these Active Originium Vein."

As Su Rui spoke, she looked up at Pozëmka's nervous eyes and gently squeezed her wrist. "Be gentle, this problem is easy to solve, don't worry."

Pozëmka then realized that she had used too much force, so much so that Su Rui's wrist was red from being squeezed.

Myrtle then grabbed Su Rui's arm from the other side and urged:

"So? Su Rui, hurry up and tell us what happens next!"

"The rest is quite simple. Myrtle and I have already presented the solution, and the problem will be resolved soon. We just need to watch how things unfold. The Durin will leave before the danger arrives."

Su Rui's words still didn't dispel Pozëmka's doubts. Her ears twitched as she looked at Su Rui and the Myrtle holding Su Rui, and continued to press for answers:

"Since you're all from Rhodes Island and here to solve a problem, why are you hiding from your comrades?"

"Um... because we came here illegally."

"Smuggling? How do you smuggle?" Hearing just this one word, Pozëmka still couldn't guess why Su Rui and Myrtle were avoiding her gaze.

Myrtle nuzzled Su Rui's cheek. "We weren't actually on this mission. Su Rui wanted to come along for fun, so she secretly arranged a small box. We hid inside the box and slipped into the city from the aircraft before the Eunectes and the others found out about us."

At this point, Myrtle proudly raised her chin. "Our grand entrance into this city was when we jumped down the slide through the hole in the dome!"

"I see." Pozëmka nodded thoughtfully, then smiled. "In that case, let's slip away and hide together."

Volume 8, Chapter 497: Water Gun

After hearing the explanation, Pozëmka wanted to take Su Rui and Myrtle and hide.

But Su Rui and Myrtle exchanged a glance, and Myrtle, who was gradually getting to know Su Rui, subconsciously asked:

'Should we slip away? I have a feeling you have other plans?'

"Of course, we don't need to hide. With such a big commotion, the city's authorities have definitely noticed. The Eunectes and the others will be taken in for questioning. But don't worry, they were a huge help, and I'll lend a hand too. They'll be out soon."

'But they probably won't have time to look for us after they get out, right? You're so mean.'

"Don't say that. After things are resolved, they'll actually have plenty of time to spend the summer here. After all, it's unrealistic to move everyone out of such a large city at once; it has to be done in batches, just like the city's dismantling."

Su Rui winked at Myrtle, then they both looked at Pozëmka.

"What's wrong?" Pozëmka noticed Su Rui and Myrtle's subtle movements and asked with a smile.

"Ahem." Su Rui cleared her throat. "As long as we don't get discovered, there's no need to hide now. The Eunectes and the others just dealt with that out-of-control drone, which attracted so much attention that they definitely won't have time to spare."

"So, you still want to go play by the water?" Pozëmka said what Su Rui hadn't yet said, a slight smile appearing on her lips.

Using this excuse, isn't it really just a way to continue playing without being discovered?

But it doesn't matter, since they're from the same organization. Since they're willing to lend a helping hand, they're probably not bad people. Even if Su Rui and Myrtle are discovered, they'll probably just be punished.

Even if things go wrong, Pozëmka herself is still here. If the punishment for Su Rui and the others is too severe, Pozëmka will not stand idly by.

Su Rui and Myrtle exchanged a glance and nodded; Pozëmka naturally had no objections.

"Okay, let's go to the water's edge and soak up some more sun."

Waterfront entertainment isn't just about sunbathing; whether it's drinking, playing around, or driving recklessly, it's all quite fun.

Myrtle preferred playing around with Su Rui to sunbathing; after all, as a Durin, Myrtle also had restless blood flowing through her veins.

After a brief silence, Myrtle took Su Rui's hand and waved to Pozëmka, who was lying on the deck chair. "Let's go play in the water, Pozëmka, do you want to come along?"

"I need to rest for a bit, you guys go have fun."

Although playing with the adorable Durin made Pozëmka happy, she had just gone through a battle and preferred watching Su Rui and Myrtle play rather than playing with Su Rui and the others.

Su Rui placed another glass of juice next to Pozëmka, then turned and walked with Myrtle toward the large pool.

There seems to be some kind of event taking place by the pool. Perhaps inspired by Su Rui and Myrtle's previous car chase, there are many strangely shaped cars running around everywhere.

Some of the carts were stocked with various drinks and snacks for everyone to take at any time; some carts offered water guns for playing with; and some carts were equipped with water guns, seemingly as part of the game.

Some of the small vehicles are equipped with robotic arms, seemingly playing the role of "disruptors".

The Durin cheered, grabbed water guns from the carts, and retaliated against the carts that were indiscriminately spraying them with high-pressure water.

Some of the Durin were holding wine glasses while using water guns to fight back.

"They seem to be playing some really fun game! Shall we join in?!"

Myrtle was captivated by the chaotic yet joyful scene before her, and her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Rui beside her.

"Okay." Su Rui nodded, waved to the cart with water guns next to her, took down two high-pressure water guns from it, and handed one to Myrtle.

"Speaking of which, this is really reckless. Can a high-pressure water gun be used as a toy?"

As Su Rui spoke, she inspected the high-pressure water gun in her hand.

The water gun has a magazine capacity only the size of a beverage bottle, but in order to make the water jet have enough impact, special treatment has been done at the muzzle, and there is even a part of the mechanical structure.

They really go to great lengths to play games; the Durin even designed separate rifle and scatter (censored) versions of the water gun.

"Shotgun or burst fire, which one do you choose?" Su Rui turned to look at Myrtle.

"Of course we should fire in bursts! Close-quarters combat is too dangerous!"

Myrtle spoke with an air of seriousness, then took one of the water guns from Su Rui's hand.

"Then I'll use shotgun shells."

With the help of the Scanning Vision, unless he was locked onto by a dozen cars at the same time, Su Rui didn't think he would be hit.

Moreover, even if so many cars are locking onto him, it means someone can't afford to play this game, and Su Rui can also afford to play this game and directly use his Scanning Vision and his electronic abilities to lock onto all of these cars.

"Yay! Let's go!"

Myrtle let out a cheer and charged towards the carts. There was water everywhere, so replenishing ammunition was easy, and there was no need to worry about running out of ammunition.

However, compared to the water guns wielded by the players, the vehicles had much stronger firepower.

Aside from the small cars that only reached about knee height for the Durin, Su Rui saw the appearance of a water truck.

"How can something like this be included in this game? Our weapons can't even do any damage!"

Su Rui complained with some confusion, and then he saw a group of people rush forward, surround the water truck, and then spray the water truck's camera with their water guns, damaging it.

The sprinkler truck, having lost sight of the road, automatically stopped operating and ceased movement, gradually being carried back by some small vehicles that appeared to be used for recycling.

They were really creative. Without thinking too much, Su Rui grabbed her shotgun and joined the battle, charging straight towards the group of cars.

Although it's a water gun, the high-pressure shotgun is quite powerful. As long as you're close enough, you can easily shoot down the water gun on the support above the cart, thus eliminating one of the water guns.

With their Scanning Vision, Su Rui and Myrtle began their harvest, working together to achieve their goal.

It seems there were notes on some of the cars saying that the more cars you defeat, the better the rewards will be?
