He placed the arm crossbow on his left arm.
Instantly, the arm crossbow truly integrated into his arm, and he could feel its presence, able to retrieve it at any time.
The way to replenish the crossbow arrows was also very simple; the moment the hand with the integrated arm crossbow touched the arrows, it could replenish them.
It was really very simple and quick.
Next to him, Jiang Yiyi blinked her big eyes, curiously watching Yang Yuan's arm.
Yang Yuan replenished an arrow, then aimed at a distant tree, and with a thought, he fired the arrow.
A streak of light flashed and disappeared.
"Bang!"
The tree was instantly blasted with a half-meter wide hole, penetrating through, with a large amount of wood splinters shooting out from the other side.
And then—
There was nothing more.
Because the wooden arrow shattered, the remaining kinetic energy of the wooden arrow wouldn't vanish into thin air, hence the current power.
After all, with an effective range reaching ten kilometers, one could imagine the terrifying degree of that kinetic energy.
"Wow!" Jiang Yiyi exclaimed.
Zhao Jiayan, who was tidying things up, also looked over in surprise, knowing that Yang Yuan had surely come up with something amazing again.
Yang Yuan chuckled and said, "It seems the arm crossbow still has requirements for the quality of the arrows, it's not quite the same as a handgun."
Perhaps influenced by his own concept, he felt that the power of firearms mainly related to the gun itself, like in the shooting games he once played, there were only a few types of bullets, but the firearm types were very numerous, and using different firearms, even with the same bullet, the power was different.
Also, in the future, there was no such thing as specific bullets; everything used the ammunition from the ammo box, including grenade launchers and rocket launchers, all using the same ammunition.
So the concept weapons he created, the bullets were not important; the power would be determined by the gun itself.
He didn't know the principles, nor did he need to know; perhaps if given to scientists, they could research something out of it.
However, this marvel of an arm crossbow, even with wooden arrows, had immensely terrifying power that even superpower users who had broken through once couldn't fend off casually.
Because the arrow shot by this marvel arm crossbow had not only terrifying penetrating power but also terrifying speed.
Once targeted, it was almost impossible to dodge.
Of course, the effective range was very far, but if too far, it might not hit, so it still depended on the user.
He retrieved the arm crossbow and taught Jiang Yiyi how to use it, saying, "In the future, if anyone wants to hurt you, just shoot them, but don't aim at our people. Practice your accuracy whenever you can."
"Mm-hmm, thank you, big brother." Jiang Yiyi joyfully fiddled with the brand new arm crossbow and then, following Yang Yuan's guidance, integrated it into her left arm.
At this point, Yang Yuan looked up in a direction, "It's here."
Saying so, he moved his thoughts, controlling the Firepower Flying Disc to slowly ascend, letting that special flying vehicle notice him, which was a silent greeting.
Before long, a flying vehicle, merely five meters long and three meters high, obviously using an anti-gravity system, flew over from a distance, landing slowly a hundred meters away.
Zhao Jiayan, who was tidying up, immediately took out her level four handgun, came behind Yang Yuan, and watched the special flying vehicle vigilantly.
"It's people from the safe zone," Yang Yuan said.
Zhao Jiayan nodded but didn't relax her vigilance.
At this time, a group of people stepped out from the flying vehicle.
Leading were four combat superpower users, each with a strong presence.
The two strongest ones surprised Yang Yuan a bit because he felt their levels were likely higher than his, possibly having broken through the second limit.
However, he wasn't very sure about the levels of superpower users.
His current level was seventeen, but whether others measured levels in this way was uncertain.
The other two superpower users were also those who had broken through once, though their superpower types were unknown.
But combat superpower users should not be weak.
As those four superpower users appeared, three more people came out from behind.
To Yang Yuan's surprise, one of them was an old acquaintance, none other than Leader Chen whom he had met in the safe zone before.
The Power Armor he was wearing was crafted by the other himself.
Leader Chen, seeing him, also showed a look of surprise, then turned to say something to a middle-aged man in a military uniform, who seemed to be the leader.
The middle-aged man in the military uniform's eyes lit up.
Further behind, there were four more combat superpower users.
A total of eight bodyguards, all of whom are superpower users who have at least broken through once, quite a grand display.
Because these eight people feel even more powerful than Wu Chengxin's group of eight.
However, the other party is probably showing him the safety zone, or rather, the military's foundation and strength.
And sincerity.
So many powerful figures, including the management of the safety zone personally coming, is a show of their respect for him.
...
Jia Weixin looked up at the gigantic, alien-like Firepower Flying Disc in the sky, and exclaimed, "Even if it's not the first time seeing it, it's still so shocking. It would be great if we had such a Firepower Flying Disc."
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and walked forward towards Yang Yuan.
Leader Chen and his aide Chen Xianzhi quickly followed.
The eight superpower users lagged a short distance behind but maintained a special formation at all times.
One of the superpower users kept his aura covering Jia Weixin and the other two leaders, indicating his ability was of the defensive type.
However, the three leaders being able to move freely in an environment of over a hundred degrees Celsius indicated their own strength was definitely not weak.
"Director, look, that supply box is full of water. They seem to have a way to obtain water. Maybe there's a Water Element superpower user among them," the aide suddenly whispered.
Jia Weixin naturally noticed this too, his eyes brightened slightly, but he didn't show any reaction, keeping a calm expression to avoid affecting the upcoming negotiation.
However, as they got within three meters of Yang Yuan and the other two, their expressions suddenly changed.
Even Jia Weixin couldn't hold it, showing a surprised look.
Because the temperature here is actually lower than within the 'Cloud Soaring' coverage in the safety zone.
And the closer they got to those three, the lower the temperature became.
Could it be that there's an Ice Superpower User among them?
Or someone who controls temperature-type abilities?
The three leaders couldn't help but think about this. If it's true, that would be great.
"Yang Yuan? I shouldn't be mistaken. I never thought we would meet again so soon, and in this manner. Truly one should look at a person with new eyes after not seeing them for three days!"
When he was two meters away, Leader Chen was the first to speak, smiling, "I guessed back then that you must have some ability to enhance items, it seems I guessed correctly."
"Hello, Leader Chen." Yang Yuan smiled and nodded, looking at the other two, "And these two leaders are?"
Leader Chen smiled and introduced to Yang Yuan, "This is the director of the 13th Independent Regiment, Jia Weixin, the person in charge of the 13th team. This is the director's aide, Chen Xianzhi."
Yang Yuan was slightly surprised, immediately showing a flattered expression, stepping forward and extending his hand, "I didn't expect Director Jia to be here in person, I'm truly honored."
But after extending his hand, he suddenly realized, they are from the military, might they dislike handshakes?
While thinking this, Jia Weixin, with a smile, also stepped forward, extended his hand and shook his, "Talents emerge in every generation, Mr. Yang Yuan's abilities give me hope for humanity."
"...Director Jia, you overpraise. I can't possibly bear the praise of being humanity's hope." Yang Yuan said with a flattered face, then discreetly withdrew his hand.
Jia Weixin then looked at Zhao Jiayan and Jiang Yiyi, "And these two are..."
Yang Yuan was about to introduce, but Zhao Jiayan spoke up, "My name is Zhao Jiayan, and this is my sister, Jiang Yiyi. We are Yang Yuan's partners."
She introduced their names simply and emphasized the word 'partners', clearly trying to convey that Yang Yuan's decisions were their decisions too.
Yang Yuan nodded and smiled at the two women.
Jia Weixin understood in his heart, it seems the ability to enlarge the Firepower Flying Disc indeed belongs to this young man before him.
He maintained his expression unchanged, as a soldier, he preferred to be straightforward, speaking directly, "I believe Mr. Yang Yuan has already guessed our intention. Currently, we are trapped in this strange Ancient Ruins, where space overlaps, and at night, a lot of weird and sinister beings appear, while the Drought Fiend draws closer. If we don't unite, we fear we might be completely wiped out here."
"Unite to wipe out the Drought Fiend together?" Yang Yuan tentatively asked.
"..."
Jia Weixin's expression froze, looking somewhat speechless at this Wild Superpower User before him, "We are discussing serious matters now, please don't joke, Mr. Yang Yuan."
Instantly, Yang Yuan realized the timing wasn't right; evidently, impatience wouldn't cook the beans faster.
So he asked casually, "Then how should we unite?"
Jia Weixin: "I'll give you three choices. First, join the military, and you'll be given an actual major rank. The 13th team will fully nurture you, and everything will proceed according to military orders. After earning merits, you will be promoted normally. If you genuinely have that capability, even my position here isn't out of reach for you."
Yang Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, what a big offer.
"And the second option?" he asked.
