Not quite dead yet.
Meihuizi's upper body twitched in the pool of blood.
Her eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
She couldn't understand.
Why this man.
Didn't even give her a chance to negotiate.
And went straight for the kill.
"This is your fate."
Qin Yu didn't even glance at the mangled corpse.
His gaze passed over the small boat.
Looking toward the three fishing vessels in the distance that had already begun to turn and flee.
"Run?"
"Where do you think you're running?"
"Elena!"
"Here!"
Elena was sitting next to the 3D printer, holding a freshly brewed cup of coffee.
"Is the fire control system connected?"
"Already connected, boss."
Elena pointed at the control panel.
"Those two machine guns."
"Are locked on."
"Then see them off."
Qin Yu turned.
And walked toward the cabin.
"Remember to salvage the supplies."
"Don't waste them."
Behind him.
The Metal Storm began.
"Zzz—!!"
That was the sound of the motors running at full speed.
Immediately after.
Came the continuous tongues of fire.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!"
The two Sentry Machine Guns opened fire simultaneously.
With a firing rate of 3000 rounds per minute.
In the darkness.
They drew two dazzling whips of fire.
Those weren't just bullets.
They were the scythes of the Grim Reaper.
The Sakura Zone fleet in the distance.
Had no chance to resist whatsoever.
Their thin iron hulls.
Against 20mm Armor-Piercing Rounds.
Were no different from paper.
"Boom! Boom!"
Wood splinters flew.
Iron sheets tore apart.
Those Sakura Zone players.
Some were directly shredded into minced meat.
Some jumped into the sea.
Only to be chased down by bullets.
Staining a patch of seawater red.
This was a slaughter.
A one-sided massacre.
After just one minute.
The gunfire stopped.
On the sea surface.
Only some burning wreckage remained.
Along with Supply Crates bobbing on the waves.
[Ding!]
[Eliminated Sakura Zone Players (Elite Level) *15!]
[Obtained Plunder Value: 1500 points!]
[Triggered "Faction Hatred" Bonus!]
[Extra Obtained: S-grade Supply Mystery Box *1!]
Qin Yu sat on the sofa in the cabin.
Listening to the system notifications.
Feeling quite pleased.
"As expected."
"Killing people from the Sakura Zone."
"Has a high drop rate."
He clicked open the Supply Mystery Box.
[Open?]
"Open."
A flash of golden light.
[Congratulations on obtaining: High-Precision Radar Blueprint (Military Grade)]

[Congratulations on obtaining: Special Item · Geisha's Rouge Box]
"..."
Qin Yu looked at the last item.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
He directly clicked [Decompose].
"What a piece of junk."
"Bad luck."
At that moment.
Li Ruobing walked in.
Carrying the smell of gunpowder.
And a faint trace of blood.
"Finished cleaning up?"
Qin Yu poured her a glass of water.
"Done."
Li Ruobing slapped her gun onto the table.
Plonked herself onto Qin Yu's lap.
Wrapped her arms around his neck.
Her eyes hazy.
"Just now."
"The way you rejected that woman."
"Was really handsome."
She leaned close to Qin Yu's ear.
Her breath fragrant like orchids.
"Even more handsome than when you were killing."
Qin Yu smiled.
Casually wrapping an arm around her slender waist.
"What is it?"
"Jealous?"
"Hmph."
Li Ruobing snorted softly.
"That kind of trash."
"Is she even worthy of making me jealous?"
"By the way."
Qin Yu suddenly remembered something.
"That woman earlier said."
"They have three more fleets behind them."
"Mhm."
Li Ruobing nodded.
"It seems Sakura Zone is making a big move this time."
"They're here for that 'Regional Core.'"
"Regional Core?"
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow.
He had seen this term.
In the system's update announcement.
After the server merge.
Each major zone would refresh a [Core].
Whoever obtained it.
Would gain [Rule-Making Authority] over that zone.
Commonly known as the "Zone Administrator."
"Rumor has it."
Li Ruobing lowered her voice.
"This time, the Huaxia Zone Core."
"Will refresh in this sea area."
"The specific coordinates."
"Are still unknown."
"But..."
She glanced at Qin Yu.
"After news spread that you killed Odin."
"Many factions have speculated."
"That the Core."
"Might be on you."
"Or."
"You know where the Core is."
Qin Yu was stunned for a moment.
Then he laughed.
"Interesting."
"So this is the so-called 'guilty of possessing a treasure'?"
He stroked his chin.
A glint flashed in his eyes.
"Since they all think so."
"Wouldn't I be letting down this grand title."
"If I didn't do something about it?"
Qin Yu gently pushed Li Ruobing aside.
Stood up.
And walked over to the tactical map he had just taken from the Armory.
"Pass down the order."
"Everyone."
"First-Level Combat Readiness."
"Since they want to find the Core."
"Then I'll make them a 'Core.'"
"One."
"That can blow them all to the sky."
...
Night deepened.
The sea wind howled.
The President lay like a giant beast lurking in the darkness.
Quietly waiting for prey to arrive.
Qin Yu stood in the control room.
Looking at the object that had just been printed.
It wasn't a weapon.
But a signal transmitter.
A decoy that could simulate the energy fluctuations of a [Regional Core].
"The blueprint is fake."
"The signal is fake."
"But."
"The Water Mines buried around here."
"Are very real."
Qin Yu pressed the switch.
"Beep—"
An invisible electric wave.
Instantly spread across a hundred-mile radius.
At the same time.
All factions in this sea area.
Saw a glaring red dot appear on their Radars.
[High-Energy Reaction detected!]
[Suspected Regional Core emergence!]
[Coordinates: Sea Area 9527, Qin Yu's base!]
A greater storm.
Was about to erupt.
Centered here.
And at the storm's center.
Qin Yu held a glass of red wine.
Watching the frantic swarm of light points on the Radar.
He raised his glass.
"Cheers."
"To all you generous benefactors."
