The scene before him was too bizarre, and Lin Qiye wondered if it was just his imagination, but after the little mummy swallowed an AK47, it seemed... to have grown a little taller.
Not satisfied with swallowing a gun, the little mummy grabbed a grenade launcher with its left hand and a standard-issue Star Blade with its right, and started stuffing them into its mouth.
By the time Lin Qiye came to his senses, he had already been hit by five automatic rifles, two submachine guns, three grenades, a grenade launcher, and several Star Blades...
And he has visibly grown two centimeters taller.
"Wait!" Lin Qiye grabbed the mummy, who was about to swallow the RPG rocket launcher whole, and said with a headache, "What if the instructor finds out you've eaten all these weapons?"
The little mummy tilted its head in confusion, seemingly unable to understand what Lin Qiye was saying.
Lin Qiye sighed. Although the other party was his summoned creature, it didn't mean that its intelligence was on the same level as his. The little mummy in front of him... didn't seem very smart.
"Could you show me first what you can do after you eat these weapons?" Lin Qiye asked curiously.
The little mummy nodded, took two steps back, and then the bandages all over its body began to stretch out strangely, revealing rows of black gun barrels of varying lengths scattered all over its body.
At the same time, two Star Blades extended from his palms, and the bandages around his waist were wrapped with grenades like a skirt. The bandages on his shoulders rippled, and a grenade launcher was suddenly placed on his shoulder, ready to fire at any moment.
In the blink of an eye, the harmless little mummy has transformed into a war fortress with cannons on its shoulders, grenades around its waist, and gun barrels all over its body!
Lin Qiye stared in shock, his mouth agape.
"The ability is to turn the weapons one eats into one's own power... No wonder, no wonder it's called the War Mummy," Lin Qiye muttered to himself.
Once it consumes enough weapons, it can transform into an immortal war fortress on the battlefield, capable of suppressing an entire army equipped with firepower single-handedly and resolving all problems caused by insufficient firepower.
And these are just ordinary weapons; if he were to ingest a nuclear bomb... wouldn't he become a nuclear mummy?!
Lin Qiye could already imagine the little mummy hopping and skipping to the enemy base after eating the nuclear bomb, and then a mushroom cloud slowly rising...etc!
Lin Qiye suddenly remembered that in the desert where he found the little mummy, there seemed to be a huge crater from an explosion not far away. Could it be that he was the one who caused that explosion?!
But is his survival ability really that strong?
Lin Qiye learned from the information in the mummy's mind that its survival ability was extremely strong, but he didn't know exactly how strong it was. However, since it was a mummy, it shouldn't be so easy to die, right?
No wonder his talent for summoning magic led him directly to the mummy; in a sense, he was indeed the strongest being in that plane!
After a brief hesitation, Lin Qiye's eyes gleamed. He patted the little mummy on the shoulder and pointed to all the weapons in the warehouse, saying:
"Eat your fill!"
The little mummy was stunned, tilted its head, and drew a circle with its hand in disbelief, as if to say: "Can I really eat all of these?"
Lin Qiye smiled, "They're all edible. Let them eat it all tonight! This is my gift to you."
The little mummy excitedly made a "wow" gesture, then quickly picked up the RPG rocket launcher it had just put down, swallowed it in one gulp, and then picked up a truck full of explosives next to it and stuffed them into its mouth like it was eating potato chips!
Firearms, ammunition, gunpowder, knives... The little mummy swept through the warehouse at an astonishing speed, like a locust swarm passing through, leaving no weapon behind.
About half an hour later, the warehouse, which was originally full of weapons, was completely empty. Not even the sharpest screws on the shelves were left. It was cleaner than if it had been ransacked by thieves.
By this time, the little mummy was nearly three meters tall, almost reaching the ceiling of the warehouse, like a giant.
"It seems a bit too big. This will make indoor combat a bit troublesome..." Lin Qiye frowned as he looked at the three-meter-tall mummy and said with a headache.
The mummy seemed to understand his words; the bandages on its body tightened, and the whole thing deflated like a punctured balloon, returning to its original size in the blink of an eye.
Lin Qiye watched this amazing scene with a slight smile on his lips.
Looks like we've struck gold this time...
The next morning.As usual, Instructor Hong arrived at the warehouse gate early to routinely check the weapons reserves in the training camp. This was originally Instructor Gu's job, but after he developed a mental illness and had to go home to recuperate, these tasks fell to Instructor Hong.
"Sigh, this door is too flimsy. I wonder when the logistics department will install a new door, otherwise what if someone comes in to steal something..."
Instructor Hong shook his head as he pushed open the makeshift folding door. "But this is, after all, a training camp. Who would have the guts to come in and steal... huh?"
Instructor Hong stood behind the folding door, staring at the empty warehouse before him, completely stunned.
"Hmm... Looks like I slept too late last night and was so tired I was hallucinating, hehe, hehehe..." He rubbed his eyes and looked ahead again.
After a five-second silence, a loud "Holy crap!" echoed throughout the training camp...."What? The weapons depot is empty?" Yuan Gang asked in surprise. "Were they checked?"
"We checked, we checked everything!" Instructor Hong said solemnly. "However, because there are no surveillance cameras inside the warehouse, we can't see what happened. But according to the surveillance footage outside the warehouse, no one approached the warehouse. We also checked the surveillance footage at the entrance of the training camp, and there haven't been any suspicious people entering or leaving in the last ten days."
"It wasn't done by outsiders?" Yuan Gang frowned slightly. "Could it be an inside job?"
"But if it's an inside job, where did the weapons go?" Instructor Hong's eyes widened. "That's a whole warehouse full of weapons! If they weren't sent out of the training camp, where could they be hidden?"
"Have you searched the sewers, dormitories, and classrooms?"
"We've searched everywhere, we've practically dug up the training ground! Nothing! Damn it..." Instructor Hong couldn't help but curse.Yuan Gang pondered for a moment, "No, there's one more thing, enough to hold all the weapons in this entire warehouse..."
Instructor Hong seemed to have thought of something. "You mean, Baili Tuming's [Free Space]? But why would he do that?"
"I don't know. Since no outsiders entered the training camp, and it's impossible for someone else to have hidden it, excluding the possibility of a 'Boundless' realm or higher expert stealing the weapon, only that little fat guy could have done it."
"But if the Baili family wanted weapons, they wouldn't need to resort to such methods..."
Yuan Gang pondered for a moment, then said, "Have him come to see me in a while."
