Chapter 70 Jingyuan and Crossbow Arm

Jingyuan looked up and saw that the sun did not rise today and the sky was gray. It was obvious that the recent weather was not as good as before and the temperature was gradually dropping.

It seems that this month is October, and judging from the perfect moon phase last night, it is already mid-October.

November enters late autumn, and December marks the beginning of winter. There is still one and a half months for him to stock up on winter supplies.

There was a slight sense of urgency in his heart, but after all, he found a good location and built a home, so he was more or less confident.

In the morning, he carried a crossbow arm made of crude leaf springs and headed to Shunxiang Supermarket, holding a big red jewelry box in his hand.

The box contained a lot of sparkling jewelry, including rings, necklaces, and bracelets. There were twelve pieces in total. The materials were gold, platinum, and silver. They were all picked up from the 902 room where the room was filled with money.

.

In peacetime, these jewelry would be worth a lot of money, but now, I can only say haha ​​to them.

I remember learning in junior high school that gold is a very good conductive material. Unfortunately, he didn't understand circuits, so in his hands it was just a good-looking piece of scrap iron.

He was carrying a crossbow arm made of four steel leaf springs. A rough estimate showed that this thing should weigh about 120 pounds. Most people would not be able to carry it very far.

However, it is within his weight-bearing range, so it is not a big burden to walk with it on his back, but if he runs, it will have a great impact on his speed and flexibility. If he cannot grasp the balance properly, he will definitely be pulled by the inertia of the heavy object and fall down.

Bar.

It’s no wonder that the heavy crossbow must be held horizontally. If it were made into a bow, it would weigh more than 100 kilograms and the archers would be exhausted carrying it on their backs, let alone draw the bow and shoot an arrow.

He quickly arrived near the supermarket and saw Xiao Yun'er sitting at the door of the supermarket.

She was sitting on the old chair, flipping through a comic book.

Comics must be very novel to her. Most children will be very interested when they come into contact with comics, movies or animations for the first time.

A brand new fantasy world, a group of new characters, going on fantastic adventures and encounters in that world.

She was very engrossed in watching it, and she didn't know if she had thought of anything.

Maybe she was pondering the dialogues of the characters, but she only learned some very simple vocabulary. She wanted to interpret the dialogues of the protagonists, which was like asking a college student who only knew "abandon" to dictate Level 6 listening skills. What she could interpret was only

It will be a bunch of mysterious radio waves that are incomprehensible, like alien communication codes.

Jingyuan didn't know if she was aware of his arrival. She was looking too intently, her eyes locked on the heroine without moving.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Jingyuan tapped the table with his fingers. She saw that hand froze for a few seconds and then suddenly raised her head.

She seemed not to have expected Jingyuan to arrive at this time, tilting her head with a look of confusion on her face.

Jingyuan put the red jewelry box on the table. The shiny jewelry came out from the opened box. Her eyes were immediately attracted. The pair of dangling little feet shook and hugged the jewelry box.

In front of him, he took out the crystal ball base beside him, as if he was planning to decorate it with these jewelry, as if he was playing house.

But her movements suddenly stopped again. If you ask why, it was probably because the little white flower became sickly.

The transplant was not successful. The wildflower failed to adapt to the new environment. The original green leaves turned yellow, and the straight stems drooped, losing their vitality. The little flower looked like a person who was bald due to illness.

The petals around the stamens fell off in a large circle, looking pitifully like Sanmao, a homeless child with only three hairs on his head.

Life is such a fragile thing. She seemed a little disappointed. Before Jingyuan could do anything, she hugged the base of the crystal ball and came to the threshold of the supermarket alone. She picked up the ball of soil and placed it among the piles of broken glass.

.

If the crystal ball is alive, that is where the crystal ball died. She seemed to be holding a funeral for this little flower.

Jingyuan thought that maybe he shouldn't bring these things that were too easy to lose to her. He sighed softly, tore off a piece of paper, folded a paper crane in ten seconds, and handed it to Xiaoyun.

In front of my son.

She caught the small paper crane, seemed to feel better, and quickly began to decorate the base of the crystal ball.

She put the gold necklace and bracelet on the roof of the red house. The ring was carefully placed on the snowman's head, like a crown. She also placed the little paper crane on the chassis.

After doing this, she held Jingyuan's hand and wanted to show him the chassis.

Jingyuan applauded her to encourage her and recognized her. She looked very happy, her legs shaking slightly off the ground under the table.

Jingyuan played with her for a while and taught her how to fold paper cranes, and then made her request by drawing a picture.

This time, Xiao Yun'er didn't show any signs of impatience and quickly followed his instructions.

One vine rolled up the leaf spring block, and the tip of the other vine became straight. The leaf mesophyll slowly wriggled, spitting out a flower bud, with a sharp spike emerging from it. The flower bud was aimed at one end of the leaf spring, and the next

In seconds, the spikes shot out like bullets, and bright sparks burst out from where they came into contact with the leaf springs.

Xiao Yun'er used this shooting method to make two holes in the leaf spring. There was a spiral pattern on the inner wall of the hole. The spikes she shot were like high-speed rotating armor-piercing bullets, easily piercing the thick leaf spring.

wear.

Jingyuan didn't expect that she actually had the ability to attack from a distance. The more he got to know Xiao Yun'er, the more powerful he realized she was.

The scar on her arm that was scratched by the glass fragments has long since healed, leaving no flaws.

He felt that there was no problem with his theory. Xiao Yun'er was the most advanced mutant in the entire Zhoushan City and the final BOSS of the city.

The distribution of mold is regular. The closer to the city center, the greater the density and quantity of mold, and the more powerful mutants can be produced.

The impact of mold on the edge of the city is very small, but what about outside?

Is there any possibility that places other than Zhoushi Mountain are still intact?

He didn't know how likely this possibility existed, but he just felt that the probability that human civilization had not yet perished was higher.

If he has the conditions and equipment in the future, he may go to a wider place to see it.

But that is a matter for the future. In short, the rough processing of the crossbow arm has been completed. The snake tendon was passed through the hole, then wound back to tighten it, tied with a dead knot, and the string was made.

He tried to pull the string to test fire, but found a problem. The direction of the arrow could not be parallel to the string because the leaf spring blocked the firing path.

So he asked Xiao Yun'er for help, and opened a hole in the center of the leaf spring for the arrow to enter and exit. Now the most important structure that provides elasticity was completed.

He found a short steel bar to test fire, placed the crossbow arm on the ground, stepped on the inner wall of the leaf spring with both feet, and pulled the crossbow string with both hands. He spent all his strength before reluctantly pulling the string open.

This posture couldn't guarantee accuracy at all, but it didn't matter. He just wanted to try how far this thing could shoot. When he felt that he had reached his limit and could no longer pull, he would let go.

The huge force of the shock caused him to fall to the ground. The steel bars shot out, flew straight into the distance, and disappeared in an instant.

He happily ran in the direction of the shot and found the steel bar on a collapsed wall.

Nearly one-third of the front end of the steel bar penetrated into the wall, and the steel bar even deformed to a considerable extent due to the huge impact force.

A little estimation of the distance shows that the distance from Shunxiang Supermarket to this wall alone is more than 100 meters. The actual range must be much further!

Now you can cook the nest of the mutated weaver sparrow!

He had already thought about what he was going to do, hang a box containing gasoline on the arrow, and pour incendiary agent on the crooked neck tree from a very far distance.

All it takes is a tiny bit of fire, a blast, and a raging fire will ignite. The mutated weavers living in the nests will not have time to escape from their huge and complex nests, and will be burned to ashes by the flames.

In this way, the large-scale weaver flocks are dealt with, and the remaining scattered small groups no longer pose such a big threat.

With joy, he couldn't wait to return to Shunxiang Supermarket, but he saw a scene that stunned him.

Xiao Yun'er was playing with the leaf spring crossbow. Her vines rolled up the heavy leaf spring, and she imitated Jingyuan's method and stuffed a steel bar into it.

The heavy crossbow was like a small plastic slingshot in her hand, and she held it up without any pause.

Only then did Jingyuan realize that he had not pulled the string fully just now. This was what it meant when the string was fully pulled. The dull friction sound was like trying to break a big tree that was being hugged by ten people.

Xiao Yun'er's vines raised the crossbow up, as if it were drawing a bow, and shot out steel bars diagonally toward the gloomy sky.

Jingyuan didn't know how to describe it. He felt like he saw a shooting star.
