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 construction department, and he heard that the official was still young. It was his sixtieth birthday the year before last, and that relative sent someone a congratulatory gift, which was a revolver made by Tanyang!
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 super powers who can control metal and fire. With these super powers, they can maximize the potential of metals, smelt super alloys with extremely excellent properties, 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, flagships. Other military factories will imitate them, imitate them as much as possible in terms of formula and process, and then control costs. , the ones that finally come out are basically castrated, and their performance is several levels worse.
Because of the nature of this world where people with supernatural powers are everywhere, 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, and it is not uncommon for them to be circulated and collected among officials and wealthy businessmen. These items are basically regarded as collectibles like swords, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings. As long as there are no large-scale transactions, the court will 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.
Because Li Zheng 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. So this super-standard firearm was just right for him to hold.
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 couldn't even penetrate its fur. There they were making a coat out of the bear skin, which not only kept them warm, but also protected themselves. This kind of monster can be killed with one shot, which shows the power of that gun.
At the beginning, everyone in the factory was gossiping, but Zhang Lang just listened to the excitement and even suspected that the worker was bragging. Now passing through Changle Village, he remembered the joke and decided to go in to find out.
If that gun can really be found, even if it's not as powerful as the rumors say, Tanyang's reputation will be much better 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 same size as a bull. Zhang Lang's crossbow arrow was nailed to it, but it only lost an arrow and damaged some skin. In the end, Zhang Lang still had to fight. Lang's knife came out and opened it directly.
Shaking his blood-stained palm, Zhang Lang glanced at the monster's body and thought to himself that a year ago, when he saw such a beast, he had no choice but to run away. Now, killing is almost like killing a chicken. I have indeed become stronger...
I cautiously entered the village along the path, and never encountered any threats. This was because Zhang Lang was cautious. Secondly, it was because this place is located in an area where humans gather, and there were 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 changing humans around them. Therefore, in the end, there are often only single-digit monsters wandering around villages with hundreds of people, and they are often powerful. It is powerful and 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 towns. 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 one-foot-eight-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 secreting poisonous mucus. Many animals are affected by this. 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 towns and cities 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 skeletons along the way. Some were still in the shape of humans, and some had partially mutated. 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 that should belong to the master's family. The doors were mostly open and collapsed, covered with spider webs.
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.
Are there people still living here? Zhang Lang felt excited, but then rejected this conjecture. If there are people, there is no need to make the house so empty. What does it mean to lay a good bed and spread hay?
While he was wondering, there was sudden movement outside.
