'Scanning progress: 60% . . . 70% . . . ' The cold sound of Starseed echoed in Jiang Liushi's mind .
He jumped ashore from the deck and said to Ling, "We should go back now!"
Hearing his words, Ling felt very confused . She had thought that the whole point of coming was for the sake of the boat right in front of them . But they not only had they done anything, but they were also about to leave too . Anyhow, Ling didn't ask . After all, Jiang Liushi was the captain, and she should follow his orders . It didn't take long for the two to return .
Then, Starseed's could voice sounded in Jiang Liushi's mind, 'The scan has been completed . The MCV's third form is now available . This model combines the fundamental characteristics of the 022 stealth missile boat with the minibus…'
In the darkness, nobody noticed that the 022 stealth missile boat had disappeared . Upon returning to his minibus, Jiang Liushi noticed that everyone's eyes were fixed on him .
"Brother, what's wrong? Why did we hear gunshots just now?" Jiang Zhuying asked urgently .
She wanted to go and help, but before she could do that, Jiang Liushi and Ling had already returned .
"Nothing! It was a water monster, which is dead now . " Jiang Liushi sighed .
"Did you find that stealth missile boat?" Jiang Zhuying asked again . It was obvious that everyone in the minibus wanted to ask the same question .
"Yes . We found it . " Jiang Liushi just nodded .
He couldn't really go into detail about the process . It would sound crazy and amazing at the same time . Moreover, Sun Changxin was not a part of the team…
As a result, he went to the cab directly . Ying got up quickly and sat down to the co-pilot seat . As soon as he sat in the cab, Jiang Liushi drove his minibus to the river directly and then the front wheels were submerged in the river .
At that moment, Jiang Liushi gave a mental command, and two buttons emerged in the dashboard . One of the buttons was black while the other was navy blue . He pushed the blue button without hesitation .
'Switching to the MCV's third form, stealth missile boat!'
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi felt a strange wave rushing through the minibus' bottom . And then the minibus' image appeared in his mind as its interior started changing rapidly . The interior space expanded and the field of vision also kept rising . The cab, which originally had been connected to the car, turned into a sealed bridge with an aluminum alloy structure .
Complicated buttons appeared on the densely packed consoles . The steering wheel disappeared, and it was replaced by a steel helm…
Everything in it, including the handbrake, manual lever, and instrument panel had all changed . In the holographic image, the appearance of the minibus had also changed . The thin alloy shell had disappeared . Instead, a thick steel plate deck and blue aluminum alloy hull had taken its place . Shortly afterward, a low-lying, flat, smooth and simple line of wave-piercing stealth missile boat equipped with anti-aircraft guns and anti-ship missile launchers appeared in the holographic image .
Inside the missile boat, Jiang Zhuying's eyes widened in surprise and she stared at everything around them…
She could not see her brother and Ying anymore . Through the window, she could clearly see the metal deck and the ship's railings outside… The minibus had transformed into a boat… What happened?

"Oh, this must be my brother's special ability…" Jiang Zhuying shouted .
Jiang Liushi had a kind of mysterious mechanical modification ability, and that incredible minibus was his masterpiece . Jiang Zhuying had experienced several times the minibus' transformation into the mining truck . Although she knew that the minibus was powerful, she never expected that it could transform into a stealth missile boat .
"Brother, your special ability has improved again!" Jiang Zhuying shouted excitedly . Actually, Jiang Zhuying was proud of her brother all the time . The more powerful her brother was, the happier she would be .
Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu were even more flabbergasted than before . After all, the minibus had now the ability to traverse on water through its boat form . How cool was that!? They also guessed that Jiang Liushi's mysterious special ability had improved .
However, Sun Changxin was totally shocked by this thing . "My God, where did the minibus go?" Sun Changxin rubbed his eyes and thought that he was having a hallucination . He felt it was incredible, just like a dream .
"Old Sun, do not be nervous . This is my brother's special ability, super mechanical conversion ability!" Jiang Zhuying in fact only had a vague idea of her brother's special ability . Watching Sun Changxin's stunned look, Jiang Zhuying revealed a playful smile .
"Such an amazing special ability?" Sun Changxin couldn't fathom it .
He had met many paranormals in Yang Feng's military camp, but he had never met someone like this . Sun Changxin just shook his head . He believed in science even in this terrible post-apocalyptic world . However, some of the principles he believed in had started to change after doomsday's continuous impacts .
After seeing something, he was even more surprised . He knew in his heart where they were . They were in a 022 stealth missile boat!
'Boom!'
The stealth missile boat got into the water . Suddenly the metal monster created a high wall of water in the rolling river . The sound of the water covered all others sound . The stealth missile boat slammed on several huge fish swimming in the water and killed them . Then, a few other huge fish approached to eat their carcasses .
"It's so powerful," Jiang Liushi could see everything that was happening through his connection with Ying .
A sense of satisfaction took over him when the stealth missile boat killed the huge fish . Generally speaking, they could only kill the monstrous fish with a rifle . But in front of the ship, they were as fragile as glass .
Jiang Liushi was happy and full of confidence . The MCV's third form also retained many functions of the minibus, such as the power system . They could go everywhere they wanted now . Even the mutant pufferfish lurking around Wu Shui County would pose no threat to them .
Every data related to the MCV, as well as holographic images, appeared in Jiang Liushi's mind .
'The MCV's amphibious form has been activated . This form integrates the missile boat and minibus' basic functions . The data is as follows:
Ship type: Stealth missile boat
Standard displacement: 220 tons
Full displacement load: 250 tons
Captain length: 41 . 6 meters
Conduit width: 12 . 2 meters
Draft: 1 . 4 meters
Occupants: 12
Fuel: Diesel
Engine: SII water jet propeller
Maximum speed: 60 knots .
Power: 6133kw
Avionics system: Search Radar (lack of core material, unusable), Optoelectronic fire control instrument (lack of core material, unusable)
Shipboard weapon: AK-630 small-caliber automatic anti-aircraft gun for one . YJ-83 anti-ship missile launcher two groups (lack of core material, unusable)
Function: Acceleration, Collision, Secondary storage space function, Air Cannon, Gunner room, Flamethrower, Bulletproof glass reinforcement .
Note: The explosion-proof tires cannot be used in this mode, and the Collision Ram function is not available…'
"Excellent!" Jiang Liushi was quite excited . The 022-type stealth missile boat was indeed great!
Jiang Liushi felt quite satisfied with it . Although the radars and YJ-83 anti-ship missile launchers could not be used due to lack of core materials, the other functions were already enough .
At the beginning of doomsday, he had tried his best to find an ordinary minibus . At that time, he had never thought he could get his hands on a stealth missile boat .
Its automatic anti-aircraft cannon would absolutely be able to turn zombies into Swiss cheese . After all, its main use was to deal with planes . In this flooded terrain, only this stealth missile boat could help them . However, it could only be used in water, and its fuel consumption was monstrous . Jiang Liushi felt happy that he had stored enough diesel in advance .
However, Jiang Liushi was still worried . That mutant level 2+ pufferfish was terrible . Jiang Liushi wondered whether the ship's strength was enough . And then he opened the panel and saw a series of upgrade options . He had previously reserved many rare metals . Xiang Xuehai had also given him a lot of materials .
'Enhance the hull with level-1 special alloy!'
'Strengthening the power system!' Jiang Liushi ordered . He wanted to make the new stealth missile boat very powerful .
In his mind, the ideal ship had to be really quick and tough . Their boat should be able to run fast enough in the water if they wanted to survive . Although the strengthening of the power system would increase the fuel consumption again, Jiang Liushi didn't worry about this at all . He had predicted that the fuel consumption would only increase, so he had stored a lot of diesel in advance .
The two enhancement projects took him a total of eight nuclei, but it did not matter . He had obtained 13 mutant nuclei . However, those mutant nuclei just made him feel generous at the moment . In fact, he selected a few parts to be transformed . In order to strengthen the ship's defenses, every square meter of special level-1 alloy required a mutant nucleus . As a result, Jiang Liushi just chose to strengthen the frontal parts .
In the upgrade options, Jiang Liushi also saw many new projects . The first was related to some functions, which were in lack of materials, such as radars, photoelectric fire control device, YJ-83 anti-ship missile launcher and so on .
Jiang LIushi estimated that those functions were in need of materials because the ship was incomplete . Its construction had come to a halt after the virus outbreak .
'Starseed, add the artificial operating system of the AK-630 gun artillery, and integrate this system with the small gunner room!' Jiang Liushi finally ordered .
That artificial operating system was of great use to him . The missile boat's most powerful weapon was the AK-630 anti-aircraft gun, but this kind of weapon needed the operation between photoelectric fire control instrument and the computer .
'The item's transformation is complex, and it requires three level-1 mutant nuclei,' Starseed mentioned .
'Start the transformation!' Jiang Liushi said in his mind .
