The next three days were still unremarkable... well, unremarkable in the true sense of the word.
Because the Kabane surrounding Xianjinyi has been completely destroyed by Li, if you are further away, you can only go to the mountains a few kilometers away from Xianjinyi to find it.
Considering that we don’t know when the next plot point will appear, Li Shu did not choose to go out to hunt Kabane. Instead, he really started to sit on patrol like a warrior guarding the city. In his free time, Li Shu also
Walking through the streets of Xianjinyi, I felt the cultural landscape that was completely different from my own world.
This also made Li Shu even more determined.
…
"Everyone! This is a new weapon I developed! It is powerful enough to break Kabane's membrane. As long as this weapon is mass-produced, we can fight against Kabane!" A boy with dull hair held a strange-looking weapon in his hand.
The people shouting on the street looked very much like the clowns in Li Shu's original world.
However, he is not a salesman, he is the protagonist of this world - Ikoma.
And the strange-style weapon in his hand is a cannon.
It was a weapon capable of firing special warheads called jet bombs.
It is a special weapon modified from a rivet machine based on the principle that when the shock wave of a gunpowder explosion hits a metal plate, a metal jet will occur.
In the original work, this was a weapon that the protagonist completed after becoming Kabaneri, but now because of Liu Yu's intervention, this weapon was developed in advance.
This also made Ikoma enthusiastically promote the weapons he developed on the streets.
It's just... people are looking at Ikoma like a fool, not even the slightest bit interested.
It's no wonder, after all, the so-called weapon that can kill Kabane - the barrel is too bulky. If you want to really break Kabane's skin, you need to get close to Kabane at a certain distance.
However, considering that Kabane's physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary humans, it would be good to exchange one for one... Oh no, it is one for zero.
Because when one Kabane dies, the other becomes Kabane.
That is to say, the protagonist, a passionate young man who is not afraid of death, thinks that the equipment he has made is very good, but anyone who cares about his life will think that this is an extremely mentally retarded invention.
Wouldn't it be nice to attack him at a distance with a steam gun? Why do you have to be so close to such a terrifying Kabane?
"Hey! Ikoma! I'm also vigorously promoting your weapons today." Li Shu put his hand on Ikoma's shoulder affectionately and said.
"Tsk!" Ikoma did not change his expression because of Li Shu's arrival. Instead, he smacked his lips dissatisfied and said, "Why are everyone so numb? We can't stay in the inn forever! If we keep sitting and waiting to die, we will be destroyed by Kabane sooner or later.
Yes! You must arm yourself before that!"
"..." Li Shu glanced deeply at Ikoma.
Overall, Ikoma's idea is correct. Facing monsters like Kabane, which will only increase in number, waiting to die is nothing but slow death.
However, everyone knows the truth, but how many people can actually overcome fear and do this kind of thing?
Even the warriors guarding the city where Li Shu was, the warriors who were the first to die when Kabane attacked, were extremely afraid of Kabane. Who could ask ordinary civilians to be braver than the samurai?
Li Shu looked at the protagonist in front of him and sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't know whether he had seen this kind of thing clearly.
Well, forget it, what does this kind of thing have to do with me?
Li Shu stood next to Ikoma and shouted like a street vendor:
"Everyone, take a look! Although this weapon is said to have flaws! But after actual testing, it can indeed destroy Kabane's heart membrane!"
No matter whether Ikoma is stupid or paranoid, Li Shu only does what he can do.
As for the rest...just leave it to fate.
Ikoma glanced at Li Shu and couldn't help but curl up his lips. As a samurai, he was not arrogant, nor did he settle for the status quo and sneer at his own inventions. Instead, he did his best to promote himself.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that they were able to become friends in just a few days.
With the help of Li Shu, a samurai, the people passing by could not help but glance at Ikoma Li Shu.
However, how to promote a new thing is a time-consuming effort in itself. In just a few days, no effect can be seen at all.
…
Time comes to the ninth day
A Juncheng car drove slowly into Xianjinyi.
"Jotetsujo? That's really strange. Didn't it say that Tsunejo will arrive tonight?" said the samurai in charge of opening the door.
"This doesn't seem to be Shunjo from Fuso City. It seems to be a guest of Lord Kenjiang, a very important person!" Another samurai said.
"It's really rare for two Juncheng vehicles to come in one day."
The conversation of the warriors attracted Li Shu, who had nothing to do.
Although he couldn't remember the specific details of the plot clearly, he would definitely remember that two Juncheng vehicles would come in one day.
"In other words, is it tonight?" Li Shu looked towards the distance beyond Xianjin Station: "Well, let's give it a try."
Li Shu did not leave directly to find his teammates to explain the situation. Instead, he sneaked out from the city gate and ran to the inn station where the Iron City stopped.
In this world, even if you live in an armored castle surrounded by steel, you may not be safe. It is not uncommon for an infected person from Kabane to appear when Juncheng enters the inn.
Therefore, in order to prevent this phenomenon from happening, everyone coming down from the Iron Fortress, regardless of gender, must take off their clothes and undergo a full body examination to make sure there are no wounds on their bodies.
If there are wounds, they will be isolated. Once it is determined that they will mutate into Kabane, they will be forcibly executed.
This behavior is very inhumane, but it is the safest for everyone.
This armored castle is no exception, but two people are exceptions.
One is a middle-aged man wearing white clothes, and the other is a petite girl wearing a red kimono with a cherry blossom pattern.
Her short black hair was tied into double ponytails with a yellow hairband, and a blue ribbon was tied around her neck.
She is the heroine of this world - Wuming.
"This is indeed a fantasy world. Although there is a gap between the two dimensions and the three dimensions, it is definitely infinitely close to the beauty of the original version." Li Shu couldn't help but sigh while hiding in a corner where no one could see him:
"I really want to sign a contract with her."
Yes, the girl in front of him is the one Li Shu said before... ah, she is the one he wants to make a contract with.
