Chapter 1 People are being devoured, and the golden finger is the banner of all souls
October 12, 2055 AD, the defense line of the No. 003 urban war base.
The night falls.
Boom! boom! boom!
Like the sky falling apart, the sound of artillery fire shook the sky, lighting up the dark sky red.
In the steel fortress, Qin Ming watched in stunned silence as the densely packed and overwhelming monsters either ejected or quickly climbed out of the extremely wide river in front of the war base.
About two hundred meters away, a large number of unknown fish monsters, several meters or even ten meters long, jumped from the river twenty to thirty meters high.
Humistically, he used his body as a weapon and attacked the war base.
Bang!
The huge body hit the outer shell of the war fortress, causing violent vibrations.
In Qin Ming's shocked eyes, these monsters opened their sharp mouths full of fangs, and the fortresses made of steel and concrete were bitten into pieces.
What the hell is this?
The next moment, the war base sprayed out countless tongues of fire and shot the monster into the air.
The monsters that desperately approached the war fortress were killed in large pieces and turned into a pile of minced meat.
The large-caliber artillery fired wildly, and brilliant sparks exploded on the river, turning the entire river into a bloody mess.
But not only did death not scare these monsters, but they became even crazier under the stimulation of blood.
"What happened? Dreaming? Time travel?"
Qin Ming stared at all this blankly, as if he was in a dream, unable to understand why he appeared here inexplicably.
What is happening in front of me is too real, and it is not like a dream at all.
Looking down at himself, he didn't know when the casual clothes he was wearing turned into a black combat uniform.
Hand held a large and exaggerated sniper cannon.
Yes!
It is a very large sniper cannon with a length of two meters and a barrel-like shape.
Looking around, it seemed that inside a fortress, more than a dozen soldiers were firing wildly with various firearms in their hands.
The roar of the machine gun, the sound of bullet shells falling to the ground, and the thick smoke are all too real.
Have you traveled through time?
Still on the battlefield?
It’s over!
Qin Ming felt bitter, he was just an ordinary person.
Why did you travel to this unknown monster battlefield?
Die again?
"The Ten Thousand Souls Banner recognized its owner, 10%...30%...50%..."
Suddenly, a tattered Ten Thousand Souls Banner appeared in the depths of Qin Ming's mind, with bones as the pole and flesh and blood film as the flags. The flag's surface was pitch black and windless, with black air emerging from it from time to time.
Countless secret patterns flashed across the tattered banners, and the word Wanhun could still be vaguely seen.
Qin Ming's eyes widened. He seemed to see the souls of monsters torn to pieces by machine guns and artillery on the battlefield within a hundred meters radius, like swallows returning to their nests, being sucked into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner one after another.
"I traveled to the battlefield, and the golden finger was the Ten Thousand Souls Banner?"
For a moment, Qin Ming didn't know whether he was happy or worried.
Who on the Blue Star knows the name of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner?
Before Qin Ming could think, a roar came to his ears
"Qin Ming, what are you doing? Fire quickly!"
A dozen soldiers in the fortress opened fire wildly. Seeing Qin Ming stunned, squad leader Jia Hong, who was operating a large-caliber heavy machine gun and fired wildly, roared.
In the torrent of metal and explosion, a large number of shrimp and crab-like monsters five to six meters, or even more than ten meters long and covered with thick carapace rushed out of the river like prehistoric monsters.
Subconsciously, Qin Ming pulled the trigger in his hand.
Bang!
His shoulder seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer. There was a violent explosion and the bullet ejected from the barrel. The two-meter-long barrel suddenly burst into flames.
A leaping fish monster with a body length of at least seven meters was torn into blood mist in the air, and then penetrated two monsters in succession under Qin Ming's horrified gaze.
Is this gun so powerful?
Can you actually withstand the recoil?
"Ignore the monsters in the river, attack those who climb ashore, and don't let them attack the base!"
The roar sounded.
Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, Qin Ming quickly turned his gun, although he didn't know why he came here or why he appeared on the battlefield.
But the madly charging monster and the smoke surrounding it didn't allow him to think at all.
Through the scope, he locked onto a living tank-like crab monster that had climbed ashore.
The monster was so fast that Qin Ming had no time to aim, so he subconsciously pulled the trigger.
Bang!
One of the legs of the giant crab exploded.
But this injury cannot stop it from charging.
Bang! Bang!
It was another two shots in a row, but this time it was even worse, both of them failed.
Qin Ming, who had never fired a gun before, had a blank mind and just shot instinctively.
It is strange to be able to hit a monster that moves at high speed.
"70%...100%, the recognition of the master is completed."
The next moment, a pure soul breath pours out from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and rushes into his own soul.
Following this, there are countless memory shocks.
"RR virus...Great Nirvana...Jiangnan Base City's First Military Academy...No. 003 Urban War Base..."
"Is this a star-devouring world?"
Along with the memory deep in his soul, Qin Ming knew where he was.
He actually traveled to the world of Devouring Starry Sky and became a senior student at the First Military Academy in Jiangnan Base City. He was assigned to the most dangerous urban war base No. 003.
And possess the Golden Finger Ten Thousand Soul Banner!
As a famous magic weapon, the Ten Thousand Soul Banner has many functions.
The most basic one is to absorb souls to nourish oneself, and absorb the essence of flesh and blood to strengthen the body.
Imprison the soul to refine "soul weapons", or refine flesh and blood puppets.
And it can also possess more incredible functions as it devours flesh, flesh and soul.
Wait? Devouring flesh and blood?
Qin Ming seemed to see blood mist rising from the broken monster corpses beside the fortress.
It's okay to swallow the soul, others can't see it.
Can it swallow flesh and blood and form blood mist?
Do you think others are blind?
Immediately, Qin Ming controlled the Ten Thousand Soul Banner not to swallow flesh and blood for the time being, and the blood mist that had just formed spontaneously collapsed.
Dang! clang! clang!
A sharp and piercing sound woke Qin Ming up. Through the shooting hole, he saw dozens of black bone spurs flying out from the dorsal fin of the monster that resembled a sailfish.
The bone spurs flew hundreds of meters and were nailed to the fortress made entirely of reinforced concrete, making a loud noise.
"Ah!"
A scream rang out, causing Qin Ming to turn his head and look.
Not far away from him, a soldier also holding a giant sniper rifle fell to the ground, and his entire arm was torn apart by black bone spurs.
"Grass! Medic, save people! It's a mutated swordfish at the advanced beast soldier level."
Immediately, a heavy machine gun swept over, beating the mutated swordfish to a bloody pulp.
But it was just a bloody mess and could not be killed.
"Qin Ming, kill that mutated swordfish quickly!"
The soldiers around him roared.
"Understood."
Without any hesitation, Qin Ming tightened his grip on the sniper rifle. The steady flow of soul breath from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner made him feel refreshed, as if his soul had taken a tonic pill.
With the blessing of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, he easily integrated the original memory.
As a top student of Jiangnan First Military Academy, of course he can use firearms, and is best at sniper rifles.
Through the sniper scope, the figure of the monster, which was originally too fast to be captured, seems to be in slow motion, and the monster's ferocious appearance is clearly visible.
The sniper rifle in his hand is a powerful sniper rifle specially developed to target monsters.
Perhaps this cannot be called a gun at all, but a cannon!
Because its full name is the Z-11 25mm heavy sniper rifle (shoulder-fired gun).
It is mixed with Crow alloy and has a maximum range of 3000m. It can use a variety of ammunition, such as high-explosive anti-personnel bombs, high-explosive armor-piercing bombs, etc., and can easily kill beast-level monsters.
Hitting the vital point can cause effective damage to beast-level monsters.
Its power is much stronger than ordinary sniper rifles.
Bang!
Qin Ming pulled the trigger.
The bullet penetrated the orbital skull of the mutated swordfish, completely tearing it apart.
Just as Qin Ming watched, its soul was not collected by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.
Qin Ming thought in his mind that the distance between the Ten Thousand Souls Flags seemed to be only a hundred meters.
"Well done! Quick, concentrate your firepower! Kill that armored giant crab!"
There are too many monsters on the battlefield, and more monsters crawled out of the river in an instant.
「Yes! Got it!」
