Qi Feng laughed heartily, and the three women almost simultaneously grasped his intention. He paused in his laughter and said, "Of course he won't die, but I'll be quite miserable. You all saw it, didn't you? The energy ball expelled by the giant cockroach—how dominant it was! Not only did it move swiftly, but its explosion was incredibly powerful!" Román nodded in agreement: "Exactly. Our three of us aren't much stronger than that creature. He couldn't withstand it, so we probably won't either!" "I can handle it," Qin said, patting his chest. "Just hand over the small tripod to you all. If things look unfavorable, you simply rush inside immediately!" "Good," the three women nodded in unison. This wasn't the time to show off heroism—life itself was what mattered most. He was carrying a towne of a self-propelled howitzer, its barrel loaded with the latest bottom-exhaust shells, the shell bodies made of depleted uranium and internally packed with a new high-explosive composition. *Crack*—a shell launched forward, the spinning projectile striking a large cockroach stationed to the south, exploding instantly upon impact on its back. *Boom*—shrapnel scattered in all directions, several hitting the two large cockroaches nearby, producing a series of sharp clinks and soft puffs. The one directly struck bore a clear indentation on its back, its exoskeleton cracked and splintered, revealing the yellowish-green body fluid and internal tissues within. Effective indeed. Qin was visibly excited—never expected that the first experimental weapon to be tested would yield such results, especially when launched from a self-propelled howitzer. If a larger caliber gun had been used, perhaps even a single shot could have completely eliminated one of them. But his excitement quickly vanished, as the explosion and shrapnel did no real damage to the giant cockroach. The creature remained agile, instantly rotating its body and launching a sphere of energy toward him. "Damn it," he muttered, instinctively crushing the talisman in his hands, sending a dragon of flame soaring straight at the energy sphere. Boom… The flame dragon collided with the energy sphere, triggering an explosion. If it were a regular infantry squad, a single cannon blast wouldn’t be enough to knock out the enemy—exposing themselves would only leave them vulnerable to a counterattack, and they’d likely be reduced to rubble. Even with heavier artillery, such as fixed or self-propelled guns, though their firepower was enhanced, they’d only get one shot—whether or not it hit was uncertain—and still wouldn’t escape the enemy’s counterstrike. He immediately switched to another powerful weapon—a multi-barreled cannon that can be mounted on fighter jets or helicopters, with a 30mm caliber and seven barrels, capable of firing up to 6,000 rounds per minute. The ammunition consists of tungsten-core penetrating shells, capable of easily piercing the armor of most main battle tanks, delivering a fierce and concentrated firepower. Qin swiftly burst two scrolls, countering the opponent's attacks. Turning to the one being battered, he found its body covered in circular holes—its armor-like shell shattered beyond recognition, spewing out revolting green fluids that gushed steadily from the holes. This proved that modern weaponry could indeed inflict damage on the magical beings, at least causing injuries. However, whether it could ultimately kill them or the extent of the damage still required further investigation. If a squad of soldiers were dispatched—equipped with the most advanced weapons—the outcome would likely be a heavy loss, as Qin himself could effortlessly deflect the enemy's attacks, while the soldiers would struggle. Each time the soldiers fired a round, the enemy would survive and counterattack, soon overwhelming them. The result would inevitably be one-sided. While the large cockroaches were focused on Qin Feng, the three women quietly moved away from the small dais. Shu Ya Jing and Luo Man jointly lifted a square object, whose front end resembled a spotlight. He Mu Qing stood behind, calmly pressing the red button. A cold blue light radiated from the spotlight and struck one of the large cockroaches directly. This is China's latest-developed laser weapon, capable of serving as a weapon for medium-sized aircraft and ships. It can penetrate 20-centimeter-thick steel plates at distances of several tens of kilometers, with greater lethality at closer ranges. Of course, this weapon has certain critical drawbacks: first, it is extremely heavy, and second, it consumes a significant amount of energy. The electrical power required for a single illumination is sufficient to meet the daily power needs of all residents in a medium-sized residential community. Another drawback is that it's highly susceptible to weather conditions. If conditions resemble the smog in northern China, the effective range can drop from dozens of kilometers to just hundreds of meters—sometimes even rendering it completely ineffective. The weather in Europe, however, is generally favorable, with clear skies and no clouds. The laser beam penetrates the thick exoskeleton of the large cockroach, leaving a wound over half a meter in diameter. The cockroach shivers, instantly losing its balance and tumbling downward. "Effective!" He Muqing exclaimed excitedly. "It turns out lasers are the best weapon against them. As long as we equip our troops with more of these, defeating the magical race won't be a problem. I'll immediately inform my grandfather and make him happy!" Although Shu Yajing didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, she had to admit, "This device is simply too heavy, and with its built-in power, it can only be fired once." "Romance added, 'The big cockroach has indeed been knocked down, but I think it might not be dead yet. Let's still be ready to make a quick exit!' Leader He blinked rapidly, 'How can that be? Even if it hasn't been killed outright, falling from such a height must have crushed it to death.'
