Chapter 21 The unfolded light ballista
Nalot and the two robber friends who followed them left Shen Mu's stronghold carrying nearly 30 iron products.
Just as when he came, he turned into a shadow within the wheat field and gradually and completely disappeared.
"Lord Shen Mu, those three guys have left."
The new member of the Lake Rat Gang came back to report.
"Yes." Shen Mu nodded and said in a calm tone: "I know, next time you come here, maybe we will be our real friends."
Shen Mu waved his hand, signaling the newcomer of the Lake Rat Gang to return to the main house. Guards continued to stand at the door connected to the wheat field.
At the door connecting the corridor, two Swadia light infantry stood guard.
The division of labor between each other is very clear.
As for the location of the shooting port, the 10 hired sentries holding light crossbows stood guard and rested, and it was up to them to arrange it themselves.
Including the Swadian light infantry and recruits who were already sleeping on the ground in the main house.
Everything looks in order.
"It's time for me to go back to sleep." Shen Mu glanced out the window, it was still dark, gray fog was flowing, and the rules of the undead filled the night.
It still looks scary, dangerous, evil and weird.
Just.
For Shen Mu, the absolute fear had quietly disappeared with the appearance of these cavalry and slashing soldiers.
Shen Mu walked up the steep stairs to the second floor of the main house, opened his own bedroom and walked in.
A simple but sturdy wooden bed, soft straw on the bed, animal skins on top, and hand-sewn wool blankets.
Although it is worse than the Simmons and duvet I slept on before.
But it was covered by Shen Mu.
brought.
But it is a kind of peace of mind, and a warmth that can protect even the soul.
"This is not an illusion, but the truth." Shen Mu lay on the bed, thinking about this: "It should be the rules of riding and cutting that have taken effect."
In the past , even if you sleep next to the campfire, you can feel the chill coming from your soul.
That should be the erosion of the undead rules.
It's warm now.
The rules of riding and slashing protect him!
"By the way, remember that I have a brass-level treasure chest that I haven't opened yet."
Shen Mu thought of something before going to sleep.
Thinking communication system again.
【bite! You opened the 'Bronze Level Treasure Chest'. 】
【Congratulations! You obtained 'Light Ballista' x 1. 】
In front of my eyes, a dialog box immediately refreshed on my retina.
And in Shen Mu's mind, a brass-colored card with a ballista drawn on it appeared there.
Then the secondary page about the ballista expands.
[Item name: Light ballista]
[Introduction to the item: This is a light version of a powerful ballista. After being wound up by a winch, it can shoot a one-meter-long short spear within a range of 150 meters. Internal energy can effectively kill the enemy. 】
[Prop description: 2 people are required to control it, and a 3 meter × 3 meter space is required when unfolded. 】
"Light ballista." Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
This is a real jackpot.
Especially before the demon monster's troops are about to attack their stronghold, there is such a sharp weapon.
It’s like saying the pulas version is a timely help!
"Install it on the second floor."
Shen Mu thought slightly and made a decision.
Beside Shen Mu's bedroom and close to the corridor, there is also a room where off-duty hired sentries rest and prepare for war.
‘Buzz! ’ A mysterious power came first, and then a stream of data appeared instantly from the center of Shen Mu’s eyebrows.
Entangled with each other, they turned into white light and began to appear.
When the white light gradually dissipates.
A brand new ballista, as if it had just been made, with a two-meter crossbow arm and a three-meter main body, appeared there.
The wooden trough exudes the slightly smelly smell of lubricating oil, and the iron parts are painted black and shiny.
Next to the ballista, the data stream finally wound around.
White light flashes.
In three wooden barrels containing wine, 30 short spears were inserted into them.
Densely packed like giant hedgehogs, it brings an absolute sense of security to any friendly troops standing next to it. The light ballistae has the word "light" in its name, but it is still a ballista!
Let alone ordinary soldiers.
Even heavily armed warriors with heavy armor and the thickest kite-shaped shield will feel fear when facing a ballista.
Even with iron shields, both men and horses are heavy cavalry with plate armor.
Within a distance of 50 meters.
Everyone should show respect to this light ballista.
"Having this kind of crossbow is equivalent to having a Rodok sniper crossbowman." Shen Mu chuckled.
And when defending the city.
The effect of a light crossbow can sometimes be even greater than that of a Rodok sniper crossbowman!
For example...
It is directly outside the second floor and can be targeted, from the elevator room on the seventh floor of the apartment to the narrow corridor to the main house of the stronghold!
Coupled with these hired sentries, Shen Mu knew just by thinking about it that this corridor would definitely turn into a corridor of death!
"It's really good." Shen Mu fell asleep easily.
But, it’s just outside.
The seventh floor of the apartment.
The diagonal side of the Japanese shape.
Room 7040.
A trace of denser gray fog began to spread from the crack in the door.
And the increasingly strong sulfur smell began to appear on this floor as the gray fog spread.
If you observe carefully.
Surprisingly, we can also find that there seems to be some kind of madness, chaos, and violence gathering in the crack of the door.
A little bit of gathering.
Like.
An egg is about to hatch!
……
The next day, early morning.
When the first ray of sunlight appeared, the seemingly eternal darkness and thick gray fog that shrouded the entire Blue Star instantly dissipated.
Only in certain corners and shadows where the sun does not shine, there is still darkness and gray fog.
But on the vast land, there are cities, mountains, and rivers.
Various buildings, factories, and characteristic buildings.
They all appeared one after another.
It seems that everything has returned to the way it was in the glorious days of Blue Star.
"It's so comfortable." Shen Mu lifted off the thin wool blanket, sat up from the bed, and looked out the window with squinted eyes.
The sky is still a little dark, but the sun has risen and the sky is getting brighter.
Shen Mu opened the wooden board that served as the window.
Outside the apartment, there were many high-rise buildings in the distance, like a steel jungle-like city center, which made him stunned.
"Longcheng." The name of that city appeared in Shen Mu's mind.
It is also the collective name for this area.
The predecessor once lived in the city for seventeen or eighteen years.
And.
In the three years of darkness, I dare not approach easily. It is full of danger, full of terror, and full of death threats.
High-rise buildings are a symbol of the glory and prosperity of the once blue star city.
But.
When the undead rules come.
The huge underground shopping malls, civil defense fortifications, underground garages and subway networks have become a breeding ground for undead monsters.
Let alone night, even during the day, if it is not bright at noon, there will be a thin gray mist.
If it's cloudy, even undead monsters will appear!
"And it will be even more dangerous when encountering the black tide." Shen Mu pursed his lips, and when he thought of this word, deep fear appeared in his eyes.
Because according to the memory of the predecessor, the black tide that appears every three months seems to be coming soon!
But at this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
“Dang Dang Dang.”
At the same time, a Swadian light infantry voice came from outside: "Master Shen Mu, there is a neighbor outside who calls himself the fifth floor and wants to see you."
