Chapter 87: Mysterious Ore

Just when Zheng Yimu was confused by Xiu Wu’s sudden hostility, Ji Yang and Tan Wei facepalmed at the same time.

Ji Yang: ’Here we go again. Although it was fun to watch Lao Xiu get jealous, it was too much for him to get jealous of every single thing. We must get rid of that mysterious voice as soon as possible. Otherwise, Lao Xiu will really lose himself.’

Tan Wei: ’He is really out of his mind! This won’t do. A solution must be found as soon as possible. Otherwise, Lao Xiu could really suddenly gouge out other people’s eyes or kill people indiscriminately. This is getting more and more scary, ah!’

After an awkward silence, Ji Yang coughed a few times to remind Xiu Wu, then looked at Zheng Yimu and said, "Since we have agreed to make this news public, does Captain Zheng still want to apply for this job?"

Zheng Yimu nodded and said, "Yes. The first reason why I applied for this job is because I am curious about the materials, and the other reason is because I want to challenge myself. I want to see if I can forge new armor or weapons with new kinds of materials."

Hearing what he said, Tan Wei thought for a while, then looked at Xiu Wu and asked, "Lao Xiu, how about we ask Captain Zheng to use these materials to create guns for us?"

XiuWu thought about his suggestion, then looked at Zheng Yimu and asked, "Captain Zheng, will you create guns for us?"

Zheng Yimu wanted to refuse at first, but he hesitated when he thought that they no longer lived in the society controlled by law of the past, but a very dangerous apocalypse era. Although the survival rate of supernatural beings is higher than the common people, once their energy is exhausted, they are like fish on the chopping board, unable to defend against zombies and mutants.

For soldiers like himself, a mercenary team like Xiu Wu’s team is actually a good asset to the base. They perform missions from time to time, which relieves a lot of burden on the soldiers. If they die while out on a mission, it’s not just their lives that are lost, but the base also loses a team of strong supernatural beings.

Thinking like this, Zheng Yimu nodded and said, "All right. Captain Xiu can give me the design and I will use these materials to create guns for the three of you."

After listening to Zheng Yimu’s words, Ji Yang seemed to suddenly remember something and his eyes lit up. He took out a piece of black ore from his space, placed it on the floor, and said, "Captain Zheng, do you think it is feasible to use this ore to create bullets?"

Zheng Yimu looked at the piece of charcoal on the floor and thought Ji Yang was joking. He frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ji, it is impossible to make bullets from charcoal."

Ji Yang knew that he had been misunderstood and smiled at him, then calmly said, "Captain Zheng, this is not charcoal. I found this ore when we went out on a mission about two months ago. At the time, I thought it was just a piece of charcoal. But when I tried to burn it as fuel, I discovered that it was not charcoal, but ore."

After listening to Ji Yang’s words, Zheng Yimu felt a little curious. He picked up the ore and used his ability. If this thing was really charcoal, he wouldn’t be able to create bullets out of it. But if it was really ore, then there wouldn’t be a problem for him to use it to make bullets.

Zheng Yimu held the black charcoal in his hand. In the next second, a faint golden light slowly engulfed his hand. After a few minutes, he opened his hand. Instead of the piece of charcoal, there are fifteen black bullets laying on his palm. Looking at the black bullets, Zheng Yimu’s eyes flickered for a second.

When he used his ability to reshape the ore just now, he could tell that the ore was almost as strong as tungsten. But what surprised him even more was that the ore could nullify his ability. The reason it took him so long to create these bullets was because it took him three times as much energy to reshape the ore into bullets.

Putting the bullets on the floor, he looked at Ji Yang and said, "Brother Ji, the quality of this ore is very good. It is almost as hard as tungsten, and it also could nullify abilities."

As soon as his words fell, the living room suddenly fell into silence. After a while, Zheng Yimu asked, "Brother Ji, can you share the location where you found this ore?"

Ji Yang looked at him and asked, "Captain Zheng wants to use this ore to make weapons and bullets?"

Since he still needed information about the ore’s location from Ji Yang, Zheng Yimu decided to tell him the truth.

He nodded as an answer and calmly said, "Yes. Since we established this base, there have been many supernatural beings living here. Although many of them have left this base in the past few days, those who remain are those who always cause trouble. I want to use this ore to make new weapons and bullets to strengthen the security of the base."

After hearing what he said, Ji Yang smiled and asked, "I see. So, Captain Zheng wants to create new weapons and bullets using this ore to control and threaten those supernatural beings?"

Zheng Yimu nodded again as an answer. While Ji Yang was still thinking, Tan Wei suddenly asked, "Why should Lao Yang tell you? We are also supernatural beings. If we really let you create weapons and bullets that can nullify our abilities, wouldn’t it put us in danger? Captain Zheng, you don’t think we are that stupid, do you?"
