Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 22 Guns and Shelters
The seven bells sounded to tell everyone to pack their bags and get ready to move.When the clock strikes nine, it's time to hit the road.

A moment later, the mournful bell rang.There was no panic or noise in the camp. People were doing their own things silently, sorting out their little wealth.

Including the woman, no one cried out loud, just shed tears silently.

Huang Quan watched this scene calmly, indifferent.

He has seen too many tragic scenes, and he doesn't feel that there is any regret in giving up his homeland in order to survive.In the many star fields, there are too many races facing the conquerors or star thieves, even survival is an extravagant hope.

Yao walked over, put a bulging backpack on the ground, and said, "I'll just take these things with me, isn't it too much?"

Huang Quan picked up the backpack, weighed it in his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter to me, but it's too heavy for you. Throw away half of it."

"Half?" The girl seemed struggling and in pain.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. You'll consume too much energy carrying it. If you die on the way, you won't be able to take anything with you."

"Okay." The girl walked back into the house again, with a painful expression on her face.Obviously, the backpack is full of her favorite or most reluctant things.

"What's in here?" Huang Quan stopped her and asked.

"There are a few weapons left by my father in it, all made by him himself. There are also dolls he carved when I was a child, and the knife I used when I killed a beast for the first time. There are also some materials I have accumulated. It is very precious, and it takes killing a lot of wild beasts to collect so much.”

Huang Quan understood that what was really useful in the girl's backpack were the materials and her spare weapons, and the rest were souvenirs.

He remembered seeing the weapons placed in the girl's room. Most of them were rough in workmanship, with obvious hand-made traces from beginning to end, and they were not professional enough.

In comparison, the ogre's weapons are better than these.

Haruka now has no use for these weapons, but this is the only trace left by her father, so she wants to carry them all.Judging by her appearance, if she wanted to lighten her burden, she might have put down the materials.

Huang Quan shook his head and said, "Then take them all with you."

"Huh?" Yao looked surprised.

Huang Quan was expressionless: "This time with me, nothing will happen. If you can, I won't be here, what should you do?"

"Then, let's talk about it when the time comes..." The girl felt very guilty.

Huang Quan had nothing to do with her and sighed.At this moment, a person ran over and said, "Master Huang Quan, the Great Elder invites you to go over."

"Adult" in the language of the settlement people is a more advanced honorific title than that of a great samurai. The bigger is the stronger, which has surpassed the level of a single settlement.

When he followed this person to the Great Elder's own room in the central big house, Huang Quan saw that the Great Elder was also tidying up his things.

But he obviously had a lot to pack, there were more than a dozen large and small boxes.Most of these boxes are the common property of the entire settlement, and they are only kept and used by the Great Elder.

Seeing Huang Quan coming in, the Great Elder asked him to sit down, and then took out a long box, looking at it with a complicated expression.

Huang Quan's eyes fell on the long box, and suddenly he felt a familiar feeling, this style of workmanship, he felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

The Great Elder put the long box in front of Huang Quan, and said: "This is a treasured weapon in our settlement. It can only be used by the bravest warriors at the most dangerous time. The last time there was thunder, it was when the tribe migrated. Thinking of using it again so soon.”

"Open it." The Great Elder said.

Huang Quan opened the lid of the box as he said.

The Great Elder looked out the window and said, "At first, I thought that the person who used it would be Juyan. Although I don't like him, but with him, many people would die in the settlement. Yesterday I thought it would be Yao, She is the only great warrior we have had for decades, and this was originally my goal in life. But now..."

The Great Elder spoke in a low voice, staring intently at Huang Quan, and said, "But now, it belongs to you. I only have one request, try to help us finish the journey of relocation."

What the Great Elder said was to help as much as possible, not to help. It can be seen how gloomy the future of the settlement is, and even the Great Elder, who was supposed to boost morale, lost confidence.

But Huang Quan looked at the contents of the box with a very complicated expression. He never thought that there was a gun in the long box!

This is a double-barreled shotgun. Judging by the style, the barrel is still sawn short.The wooden gun body is covered with fine patterns, which is not at all the rough and primitive style of the lost people in the settlement, but rather reveals some Gothic mysterious and complicated style.

This kind of pattern is obviously not something that people in the settlement can carve out.

The barrel of this gun has a dark red copper color, and the metal texture is something Huang Quan has never seen before.But it is the oldest and most classic style in terms of style and structural design.

Shotguns of this design had been around for hundreds of years before the empire was founded, when humanity was just beginning to enter the gunpowder age.

If it is special, it is that this gun also has the strange characteristics of this era and this world, and it is extraordinarily thick and heavy.

Its barrel is also one meter long according to the sawed-off standard.Each barrel is as thick as a fist, a circle thicker than the 40mm melee machine guns used by the Empire for internal battles within the planet.

If it weren't for Huang Quan himself being very tall, with thick arms and long hands, it would be really difficult to handle such a big guy.

Judging by the size of this gun, it is specially designed for big guys over two meters tall, maybe two meters is not enough.However, the guys in the dragon riding camp were all tall and long-legged because of Shenghui's transformation. Few of them were under two meters, and Huang Quan was the slenderest among them.

Huang Quan guessed that this gun was mostly used by people who had been fully transformed by Shenghui.

Under the long box, bullets are neatly stacked.This kind of shotgun special bullet looks like a small grenade, Huang Quan doubts how ordinary people can use this thing.One shot from this thing can break a person's hands.

Half of the original bullet slots in the box were empty, and there were only eight bullets left.

The warriors and hunters in the settlement have always only had spears, swords, bows and arrows. I didn't expect to have shotguns, and such a brutal design.This is not a gun, it is obviously a hand cannon, and it is double-barreled.

Huang Quan picked up the gun, and sure enough, he saw a familiar trigger device. After pulling it twice, he was sure that it was a switch for salvo and single shot.This big guy wants to shoot again?Who can stand the recoil.

Putting down the gun, Huang Quan looked at the elder and said, "I'm afraid the warriors in the settlement won't be able to use this thing?"

The Great Elder looked surprised, and immediately said: "It works, each person is limited to two shots, and those like Juyan can fire one more shot."

Huang Quan's eyes fell on the hand of the Great Elder: "Your injury is also left by it?"

Shock appeared on the Great Elder's face, and he said slowly: "The last time I moved, I fired four shots with it and killed three ogre chiefs."

Huang Quan took out the shotgun and put it on his back, poured out all the bullets, put them in his satchel, and said, "Are there only eight bullets? What should I do if I run out?"

Surprise flashed in the eyes of the Great Elder, he took a deep breath, and said: "If you run out, you have to go to the Emerald Valley to change, that is the only shelter we can reach."

"Shelter?" Huang Quan heard a new term.

"The sanctuary is the shelter left by our ancestors. There are countless knowledge and wealth, and the most powerful defense. Even ogres can't pass through the defense of the sanctuary. There, countless thunderbolts And the flames will tear the mightiest ogres to pieces!"

Hearing the long list of adjectives from the Great Elder, Huang Quan had to interrupt him: "Then why don't you live in a shelter, but struggle in the rainforest? This forest is obviously not suitable for human survival."

The Great Elder's face became heavy, and he sighed: "The shelter can't accommodate so many people, and the extra people can only live outside to survive."

"In other words, you were thrown to the ogre." Huang Quan suddenly understood, and pointed out the facts coldly.
