Why did Zhang Lang change his direction temporarily?
Because he remembered that a former worker was from Changle Village.
According to what he said, there was a relative in his village who was serving in the imperial court's engineering department. He heard that the official was still young. It was his sixtieth birthday the year before last, and the relative asked someone to send him a gift, which was a charcoal made of charcoal.
revolver!
Tanyang is not the largest military factory in Lu State, but it is the most famous in the industry.
Because there are many people with superpowers who can control metals and flames gathered there. With these superpowers, they can maximize the potential of metals, smelt super alloys with extremely high performance, and then create the most sophisticated magical weapons in the world.
However, these superpower products can only be specially made and cannot be mass-produced. Therefore, those produced by Tanyang are generally experimental products, that is, the flagship version. Other military factories will imitate them, imitate them as much as possible in terms of formula and process, and then control them.
In terms of cost, the final version is basically a castrated version, and the performance is several levels worse.
Because of the nature of supernatural beings in this world, arms control is actually not that strict. As long as ordinary people obtain documents approved by the court, they can directly purchase firearms for self-defense. Some high-quality firearms produced in Tanyang are circulated through some legal or illegal channels.
It was not uncommon for it to be circulated and collected in the hands of officials and wealthy businessmen. This thing was basically treated as a collection just like swords, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. As long as it was not traded in large quantities, the court would turn a blind eye.
So after Li Zheng got the treasured gun, he showed it off in the village. According to Zhang Lang's co-worker, the gun was scary in size and fierce in shape. It was said that it was specially made for him by Li Zheng's relatives.
of.
Because Rizheng himself is a stranger with enhanced strength, he can effortlessly carry a strong ox with one arm and walk on mountain roads as fast as flying. Therefore, this super-standard firearm is just right in his hand.
I heard that Li Zheng once used this thing to hunt in the mountains, and one shot shattered the head of a ghost-faced bear!
It was a famous ferocious beast, standing over two feet tall, with rough skin and thick flesh, and bones as hard as steel. Ordinary muskets and crossbows could not even penetrate its fur. A coat was being made from the bear skins.
It's warm and can defend itself. This kind of monster can be killed with one shot, which shows the power of that pistol.
Back then, everyone was gossiping in the factory, but Zhang Lang just listened to the fun and even suspected that the worker was bragging. Now when he passed Changle Village, he remembered the joke and decided to go in to find out.
If that gun can really be found, even if it is not as powerful as the rumors say, the reputation of Tanyang is much stronger than the standard equipment in the county!
Walking along the path, I was attacked by a monster that looked like a wild wolf and was about the size of a bull. Zhang Lang's crossbow arrow was nailed to it, but it only lost an arrow and damaged some of its skin. In the end, it still had to be Zhang Lang's.
Lang's hand knife came out and opened it directly.
Shaking his blood-stained palm, Zhang Lang glanced at the monster's corpse and thought to himself that a year ago, when he saw such a beast, he had no choice but to run away. Now it's almost like killing a chicken. He has indeed become stronger...
I cautiously walked into the village along the path, and never encountered any threats. This was because Zhang Lang was cautious, and secondly, because this place is located in an area where humans gather, and there are not too many wild beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests.
, on the contrary, the closer you are to villages and towns, the easier it is to encounter monsters.
Most of those are monsters turned into humans.
According to Zhang Lang's observation, monsters transformed by humans are usually more powerful than those transformed by beasts. And because humans change at different speeds, many monsters that complete the transformation first will kill the surrounding humans who are changing, so in the end hundreds of people
There are often only a few monsters left wandering around the villages, and they are often so powerful that they will deter the wild monsters in the surrounding mountains and forests from approaching.
The mud houses in the countryside are naturally not as strong as the concrete houses in the cities. They are generally low brick houses. Many of them have been demolished to pieces by the villagers who suddenly transformed into monsters. There are collapsed ruins everywhere.
.
Zhang Lang carefully walked through the ruins and soon found Li Zheng's home!
Although he had never been to Changle Village, he could guess it when he saw the largest house.
The 18-foot-high wall and the tall house made of blue bricks and lime mortar are indeed different in scale from other low-rise bungalows, and the main structure has basically been preserved.
The door of the house was locked, and it seemed to be blocked from the inside. There were scratches on the door, which must have been resistance to prevent the monsters from coming in when the mutation first occurred.
Zhang Lang did not force the door open, but deftly climbed over the wall covered with thorn vines from the side. This is a mutated plant with inch-long spikes growing on the vines, and it also secretes poisonous mucus. Many animals are affected by it.
Being entangled in the thorn vines, the poison paralyzed the nerves. After being unable to move, he was slowly eaten by the digestive juice secreted by the vines...
But for Zhang Lang, these toothpick-like wood thorns are similar to a cat's whiskers and cannot hurt his hard skin at all...
"What a big house..."
Zhang Lang sighed in a low voice. Since the industrial revolution, the houses in cities and towns have been built higher and higher, and the accommodation environment has become more and more crowded. The door of this vast mansion is basically invisible.
I walked around the wall behind the shadow and walked along the wall to the lobby. I saw several mutilated bones along the way. Some were still in the shape of humans, and some had undergone partial mutation. Either they had horns on their heads, or they had sharp claws and long tails. However,
It seems that during the process of mutation, it was killed by a further monster.
Entering the lobby, there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, the hanging plaques were crooked, the calligraphy and paintings were torn and weathered, the tables, chairs and benches were falling apart, and even the thick beams were covered with scratches.
After searching around, Zhang Lang shook his head. The treasure was unlikely to be displayed in the lobby. It was probably in the bedroom or warehouse at the back... This beloved weapon was more likely to be placed in the bedroom.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lang walked all the way into the backyard. There were many rooms here. On both sides were the rooms of the domestic slaves. There were several large rooms inside, which should belong to the master's house. The doors were basically open and collapsed, and they were full of spiders.
net.
Zhang Lang found Li Zheng's bedroom and sneaked in, only to find that the floor was not as dusty as other rooms. The tables, chairs, beds and other furnishings inside were gone, smashed and thrown on both sides of the door. On the contrary, in the corner,
There was a thick layer of hay, and the middle seemed to be dented by something.
Is there someone still living here? Zhang Lang was excited for a while, but he immediately rejected this conjecture. If there are people, there is no need to make the house so empty. What does it mean to leave a good bed and lay hay?
While he was wondering, there was sudden movement outside.
