I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

This man was going to die; they couldn't even find the location of the x13 Research Institute and could only wander the streets aimlessly like a headless fly, clutching a box that could explode at any moment.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man seemed startled, hugging the code-box in his arms tightly before quickly nodding and getting up to jog in a certain direction.

Chen Miao and the others didn't speak; they merely followed closely behind.

...

What Chen Miao and his group didn't notice was that not long after they left the abandoned factory, two men suddenly walked out slowly from their hiding spot on the highest rooftop walkway.

One tall and thin, the other short and fat.

A very conspicuous combination.

"Boss."

The taller one, full of admiration and awe, raised his thumb: "You're incredible, how did you guess that among these people there must be Supernaturals and that they were hiding their Strength?"

"..."

The shorter one rolled his eyes at the taller one and said coldly, "This is our second entry into this secret realm. Although we didn't clear it on our first try, we managed to walk out alive thanks to the 'Punishment Exemption Coupon'."

"The highest clearance progress of this secret realm has never reached 50, meaning that so far, no one, or no player team, has left this secret realm alive. And we two are entering this dimension for the second time."

"It means we are more familiar with the content and tasks of the secret realm than others."

"Didn't we ally with the villains on our last entry into the secret realm? Have you forgotten?"

"No chance of survival."

"Right out of the café, we were surrounded; although we were seriously injured at the time, we managed to narrowly escape. We left that middle-aged man behind, and after the self-detonation of the code-box, the virus potion was released into the air."

"Those who came into contact with it turned into zombies immediately, and the city began to fall into rapid chaos, and we died in that chaos."

"For players who are chosen as the villains, there's almost no chance of clearing the game. Not only are there many player opponents, but surviving in a chaotic city for three days is also a difficult task."

"Having entered the secret realm once, we definitely knew there had to be players in this team, hiding and waiting—either waiting to die or preparing for a big move. They surely needed to hide first."

"Is such simple logic really necessary for me to explain in such detail?"

The fat man rolled his eyes at the tall one, obviously dissatisfied with the tall one's intelligence.

The difficulty of this secret realm was not low.

If it weren't for the fact that they happened to have the coupon that could exempt them from the map penalty, they would have died in this secret realm, but after luckily surviving once, they had entered the secret realm again.

In the secret realm, danger and profit are often directly proportional.

The greater the danger, the higher the future gains.

This is beyond doubt.

So after careful consideration, they decided to enter this secret realm once more.

Only this time, they would be the ones laughing last.

"..."

On the rooftop.

The fat man's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness as he looked towards where Chen Miao and his group had disappeared from view—this time they were bound to win. On their last entry into the secret realm, they were on the side of the villains and knew very well what the tasks were like in the first few stages when you were on the villain's side.

Just disrupt one of them.

If they did, they would be successful, and Chen Miao was doomed to fail his task.

As the heroes, they just had to ensure the city wasn't destroyed three days later, and they would receive a perfect clearance rating.

Yes, it was that simple.

The only difficulty was that they needed to protect a person—that middle-aged man beside Chen Miao. The man couldn't die because if he did, the briefcase he was carrying would automatically detonate, releasing the virus potion.

The middle-aged man was not on their side, and protecting such an adversary was no easy task.

Luckily, it was evident that this time the villainous players were also working hard to protect this man, which made their job a little easier.

Afterward—

He slowly retreated into the shadows and vanished from the rooftop.

A single bottle of the virus potion was not enough to destroy the entirety of Wazi City. The first link of the task chain was to deliver the potion to the research institute. Then, based on the formula of this potion, the lab would quickly modify the failed concoction into a successful one.

It would be mass-produced in a short time.

And rapidly spread across the city to ensure its destruction within three days.

That was the mission chain for the villain players—it was all too clear to him. On his previous entry into the dimension, he had been on the side of the villains, but he hadn't managed to deliver the potion to the research institute before it exploded en route.

If he remembered correctly, the middle-aged man, for safety's sake, was now leading Chen Miao around the center of the city, taking detours to avoid being followed and the location of the research institute being discovered.

And he—knew the location of the research institute.

He could destroy the research institute before anyone else. As long as he did that, Chen Miao and his team's current mission would be doomed to failure.

...

```

An hour later.

Under the guidance of a middle-aged man, Chen Miao successfully made his way to the fourth underground level of a hospital and saw what was referred to as the institute hidden behind a wall; however, at this time, thick smoke was continuously billowing out of the institute.

After a brief inspection, one fact was certain.

The institute was destroyed.

Chen Miao's brows furrowed as he hurried into the institute, where dead bodies, overturned equipment, and not a single survivor were everywhere to be seen. No, that was not entirely true; they found a scientist who was barely breathing in a corner.

Upon seeing this scientist.

The middle-aged man following Chen Miao's lead brightened up cautiously, opened his briefcase, took out a red potion, and handed it over: "Mr. Arthur Fu, the potion you requested has arrived."

But the scientist barely lifted his head to glance at Chen Miao and the others before he closed his eyes forever.

And thus―

No one inside the institute survived. Chen Miao frowned and scanned the surroundings. It was clear that someone had broken into the institute beforehand, and if nothing was out of the ordinary, this was not the original plot.

Within the quest chain.

The original plot should have been to produce a large quantity of potions through the institute and then disperse them throughout the city.

Now, there was a clear deviation.

The institute was hidden behind a wall, which seemed to have been destroyed by players the moment they entered, looking as if it was smashed by fists. This was the power of a fighter.

Meanwhile, Chen Miao simply stood still, holding the Virus Potion and pondering silently, without speaking.

Just at this moment―

Two men, one tall and one chubby, strolled in. Upon seeing Chen Miao, they greeted with a smile: "Nice to meet you, good afternoon."

"Don't be nervous, we mean no harm. We are here to explain the situation to you."

"First of all, we regret to inform you that your quest chain has been destroyed by us, meaning no matter what, you will not be able to complete your mission now, but this doesn't mean you can't complete the basic task of surviving three days."

Your journey continues with empire

"As long as you don't open that potion bottle, survival in this city for three days should not be a problem for you two, right?"

"You've merely lost the chance for a perfect clear, but if we cooperate with each other, we can still get through this secret realm smoothly."

The short, chubby man spoke earnestly to explain: "However, if that potion bottle is accidentally broken, believe me, one bottle's strength is absolutely not enough to destroy Wazi City in three days; otherwise, the quest chain would not require you to procure more potions."

"But perhaps you should take another look at the secret realm board; the Combat Power of the zombies infected by this potion is not weak."

"Once this potion is released, the entire city might not perish, but it will be thrown into complete chaos."

"Surviving in such an environment for three days is certainly not a simple matter. What do you say? Since a perfect clear is already out of reach, why don't we work together first to survive?"

"What do you think?"

After delivering this speech, the short chubby man looked confidently at Chen Miao. He was 80% sure that Chen Miao would agree to the proposal since Chen Miao had no other choice.

There was only this choice.

When he preemptively destroyed the institute, it meant that he had already won this confrontation.

But the next second―

His eyelids began to twitch frantically as he saw Chen Miao standing amidst the ruins of the institute, raising his gun and aiming at them.

"Ratatat!!!"

The moment gunshots rang out, the two men did not hesitate; they immediately activated their items and disappeared from the spot. They had witnessed Chen Miao's firepower in the abandoned factory.

This was a somewhat twisted gunman.

If it came to a head-on fight, they were not Chen Miao's match.

It seemed negotiations had failed, but it didn't matter. That potion bottle indeed could not destroy Wazi City in three days, and they were essentially guaranteed a flawless victory.

But surviving three days in such a chaotic, apocalyptic scene was not a simple matter.

However, it was just complex, that's all.

As Supernaturals, they felt somewhat superior in this city made up entirely of ordinary people.

After all, the zombies didn't only attack them.

...

"What should we do, Miao?"

Hungry Monkey, having quickly analyzed their situation, turned to Chen Miao and the Virus Potion in his hand: "We're essentially destined not to achieve a perfect clear now; our only option is to survive for three days and then leave this map alive."

"Why did that fat man know the location of the institute?"

"This isn't fair."

"They already outnumber us, know the location of the institute, and can break our quest chain. This is simply an unfair fight. On the villains' side, a perfect clear is nearly impossible."

Chen Miao didn't speak; he just looked thoughtfully at the Virus Potion in his hand.

Maybe...

Destruction didn't necessarily require potions.
