Universe Infinite Canteen

Chapter 739: Anesthetic Dart



Ma Lu watched through his own eyes as the last sliver of the door closed, and only then did his racing heart begin to slow down.

Soon after, he heard a series of screams coming from the corridor, one after another.

Right now, it was just the beginning of the fishing frenzy, with everyone vying for the early advantage. The corridor was crowded with anglers, most of whom had not found any weapons or equipment.

To encounter this group of fierce Cannibal Zebra Fish unarmed was to inevitably meet a gruesome end.

Ma Lu listened as the screams faded into the distance, until he could no longer hear them. Then, he waited three more minutes before opening the door.

He cautiously poked his head out, and a strong smell of blood wafted through the corridor.

He quickly scanned the surroundings, seeing no sign of life, but there were a mess of small items scattered in the air, from fragments of clothing and shoes to dentures, prosthetics, earrings...

Ma Lu didn't linger and immediately activated his jet boots, fleeing in the direction the Space Fish had come from while continuing to search for a save point.

This time, fortune favored him. After taking about fifty steps, he saw a familiar green light around the corner.

Overjoyed, Ma Lu rushed toward it. It appeared to be a restroom, complete with urinals.

However, to accommodate the zero-gravity space environment, the urinals were designed uniquely, being only the size of a funnel with a hose attached that could be detached and held in hand, facilitating easier relief.

The reason Ma Lu knew this was because a woman with a Mohawk and wearing a leather jacket was using one of the hoses to strangle a man by the neck.

The man's face was already turning purple from the strangulation, his eyes rolled back. His limbs were still struggling, but they were becoming weaker, and he was on the verge of death.

But just then, the Mohawk woman spotted Ma Lu. Without hesitation, she released her right hand, grabbed a rifle lying next to her, and fired a shot at Ma Lu.

With the bang of the gunshot, the restroom mirror shattered into pieces.

At the last moment, Ma Lu narrowly dodged the bullet with the help of his jet boots, and then quickly directed his Mechanical Boomerang at his opponent.

The Boomerang zipped through the air with a sharp whistling sound, aiming for the woman's neck!

But she was cunning. Just as the Boomerang was about to hit her, she suddenly grabbed the man in her arms and used him as a shield.

With a splatter, the man's head flew off! The blood that spurted out painted the restroom like a chaotic scene.

Neither party was able to hit their mark with the first strike, and the Mohawk woman readied her rifle again.

Ma Lu hesitated only for an instant before he too reacted, lunging toward the woman!

The save point was right before his eyes. Retreating back to the corridor might have been safer, but reentering would then become difficult.

Both had long-range weapons, but the speed of the Boomerang couldn't possibly keep up with the rifle.

Moreover, Ma Lu hadn't forgotten that there was a swarm of piranhas in the corridor, and a standoff would make the situation even more disadvantageous for him.

The Mohawk woman seemed surprised that Ma Lu had chosen to charge.

Although the rifle was a long-range weapon, it could still be used at close quarters, unlike Ma Lu's Mechanical Boomerang, which would lose its effectiveness if they were too close. And now, the distance between them had closed to less than two steps.

The Mohawk woman's rifle was already loaded and aimed at Ma Lu.

But Ma Lu was a step ahead, he pulled out a small bottle from his chest and sprayed towards her eyes.

The Mohawk woman uttered a cry of pain, feeling as if thousands of red-hot needles had simultaneously stabbed her in the eyes, the pain was so intense that her facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

But she used her strong willpower to resist the urge to throw the rifle away. Instead, she pulled the trigger, and the dark muzzle spat out flames!

Bullets flew out of the barrel.

Did she hit her target? The Mohawk woman's vision was a blur; she couldn't see the outcome of her shot.

However, she stayed on guard for a moment, and not feeling any attack from the opposite side, she could not sit still any longer. She threw the rifle aside and sprang up towards the sink, hoping to wash her eyes with water.

But just as she got up, something wrapped around her neck and began to tighten more and more.

This scene was familiar to her, because not long ago, she had strangled an opponent who fought her for the rifle using a urinal hose, but she had not expected it to be her turn now.

Nevertheless, the Mohawk woman was not willing to die so easily; she flailed her arms fiercely, attempting to grab at the enemy behind her.

Her struggles paid off, and soon, the hose around her neck loosened, but before the Mohawk woman could rejoice, a sharp weapon penetrated her heart!

Ma Lu had let go of the hose to free his hand and pull out the Chef's Knife for the final strike.

Although the fishing activity had just started less than fifteen minutes ago, Ma Lu already had 4 pieces of equipment on him, including the [anti-wolf spray] and [jet boots] from the blind box, and the [Tracking Boomerang] he picked up on the way.

And the [Chef's Knife] was his own, an ordinary opponent really could not withstand his endless attack methods.

Right after Ma Lu sprayed the anti-wolf spray, he headed straight for the save point to save his progress, thus freeing himself of this major worry, and then he turned back to deal with the Mohawk woman.

After he killed the Mohawk woman and picked up the rifle, he refreshed his save once more.

He then searched the body of the Mohawk woman and found half a box of rifle bullets, totaling 12, which could be used for the rifle, along with nine pistol bullets, but he couldn't find a pistol.

In addition, Ma Lu found three darts, with a syringe on the back and the tail feathers of some unknown animal.

They looked like the anaesthetic darts that might be used in a wildlife park.

This unexpected find delighted Ma Lu; he had been worrying about how to catch live Space Fish to bring back to the Desktop Farm for breeding.

It was a pity that these Space Fish were so aggressive, it was difficult to capture them without killing them, until Ma Lu saw these anaesthetic darts.

He planned to find a target to test them on, but the urgent matter was to meet up with Rabbit Man; being alone in the fishing activity was too dangerous, especially when in the later stages, other teams would have gathered their forces.

Even with the save-and-refresh feature, Ma Lu might still face the dilemma of being outnumbered.

The two had agreed to meet in the middle layer of the cone before disembarking the spaceship, and after securing his new equipment, Ma Lu headed there.

But he didn't move too hastily; at the beginning of the activity, equipment and weapons were mostly undiscovered, and it was important to gather what he could while he had the chance.

Like the group of ferocious Cannibal Zebra Fish earlier, if Ma Lu had the Flame Sprayer on hand, he wouldn't have been chased frantically everywhere by them.

Therefore, on his way, he not only kept a vigilant eye on his surroundings but also actively scoured several rooms that seemed likely to yield loot.
