Chapter 004: Unwilling to Let Others Live Too Ordinary Lives

Without decisive means to combat the Kabane, the people here are destined to live in constant fear every day, and even due to their inner fears, dark emotions may arise

As a result, being stared at like this by those around him, Fang Li naturally felt a sense of discomfort all over his body, truly wanting to slip away directly, unable to bear it

Compared to the muzzle-loading rifles of the past, the convenience and power of the magazine-fed steam guns far surpass them. In this era, which faces the threat of Kabane, these steam guns serve as one of the psychological comforts for people

Watching the two warriors gradually walk away, Fang Li also felt a sense of helplessness

Having spoken, the two warriors then left on their own, no longer paying any attention to Fang.

Many warriors are already on guard here

Gentle sunlight poured down from the sky, illuminating the entire Xianjin Post.

Clearly, the gatekeeping warriors were filled with this anxious and fearful emotion

Therefore, upon closer inspection, one will notice that the guns carried by those warriors are all connected by a line to their backs

He is merely a wanderer; can you really expect him to fight against the Kabane

It is precisely for this reason that people, lacking decisive means of confrontation against the Kabane, had no choice but to construct fortified cities and confine themselves within them

Although the power of steam guns is significantly higher than that of gunpowder rifles, they still cannot penetrate the steel heart membrane of the Kabane

"You, go up to the top of the city wall and keep watch!" a warrior pointed to a spot on the iron city wall, speaking loudly with a hint of annoyance, "That position is vacant, you go guard that place!"

The city of Jun is operated by the shogunate, with the attendants collecting fares at various stations taking turns on duty

At least, the surrounding pedestrians are almost all dressed in garments styled like kimonos

If one only relies on the assistance and protection of the characters in the plot, then the final outcome is clear: there is only a dead end.

In such circumstances, let alone a Kabaneri, even if it is just one person, if they were to approach the past for no reason, it would ignite the fear within them, leading to being targeted by a barrage of steam guns

Unfortunately, it seems that space is unwilling to allow people to live too ordinary a life

Without a steam gun, how can one defend?

Gun? Fang was somewhat taken aback.

How could a newcomer in the space who has not a single skill and cannot afford even a piece of equipment with a level possibly kill anyone

Upon thinking of this, Fang Li glanced a few more times at the warriors over there

After all, when dealing with a Kabane, if its heart is not pierced, the opponent will not die

An island nation that cannot mass-produce high-quality gunpowder has not only introduced steam engines in railways but also in industrial machinery and firearms. Therefore, compared to muskets, steam guns have become more mainstream

The 1,000 exchange points and 5 free attribute points provided by the space exist precisely for this moment

Especially in the direction of the main gate, there are a large number of warriors guarding it, their expressions extremely fierce

In light of this, Fang Li, as an outsider and a wanderer, could never gain the trust of these cowardly warriors, and thus obtain weapons

If a different person were to take over, they would surely find this situation exceedingly tricky

No, it should be said that, in the eyes of others, Fang's attire is quite unconventional

Under the leadership of two fearsome warriors, Fang Li arrived at the location of the iron outer wall of Xianjin Post.

A line of warriors carried personal high-pressure steam boilers on their backs, holding steam guns resembling hunting rifles in their hands, while standing guard around them

The streets are no different, exposing the soil directly to the air, while modern asphalt roads have not a single inch of it

Consequently, the shogunate that manages logistics wields immense power, thereby ruling over the entire island nation

Houses are all made of wooden boards, and modern residences are hardly seen, let alone high-rise buildings

For example, if there is a person bitten by a Kabane in Jun City, once that person enters the station and transforms into a Kabane, the entire station will face a significant threat

Indeed, it is merely a form of psychological comfort

However, these warriors all carry exceptionally unique weapons

It is uncertain whether something was discerned from Fang Li's gaze, but the expressions of both warriors began to look somewhat displeased.

This is a place that is more rural than urban

At this moment, Fang is dressed in casual attire, which belongs to the type that would not stand out too much even if thrown into a crowd

The special steam engine "MacLachlan Mechanism" developed in the United Kingdom employs the revolutionary concept of steam compression, which not only provides high power for large vehicles but also offers a portable high-pressure boiler for steam weapons.

However, this also carries risks

However, on the surface of the heart of the Kabane, there is a steel-like membrane for protection, which even a steam gun cannot penetrate

The mockery of the two warriors caused Fang Li to retract his gaze, feeling somewhat irritated in his heart

However, on the outskirts of such a city, there exists a jarring steel city wall

Otherwise, the chief messenger of the deity may leverage their status to overcome difficulties and achieve gains

Accompanied by two warriors, Fang Li walked slowly along the street

If there are Kabane climbing up the city walls, can one still jump down to fight them?

In order to combat the threat of the Kabane, the shogunate that rules the island nation constructed fortified towns known as "Stations" throughout the land. The only means of transportation between these "Stations" is the armored locomotives, commonly referred to as - the Hayabusa.

If one wishes to complete the task and preserve one's life, one must rely solely on oneself

In response, a samurai coldly snorted, "It should be referred to as a steam gun."

Since the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the steam engine has become an essential item of the era

It is a pity that in this era when the Industrial Revolution has just begun to impact the world, this attire appears increasingly unconventional.

There are two cylindrical boilers there

Therefore, the identity arranged by the main god's space is solely to ensure that the main god's messenger does not appear too conspicuous in this world, and no other issues are taken into consideration.

Of course, this is inevitable; after all, who can blame Fang for such an unconventional appearance

Are you really not even providing a steam gun?

After all, if there is an invasion of Kabane, those responsible for guarding the gates will be the first to become victims.

Seeing this situation, the two guiding warriors mistakenly believed that Fang Li was frightened, and they successively mocked him.

In this way, those dressed in modern attire walking down the street naturally attract countless gazes

Now, in the square, someone raised their hands and said with empty hands: "At least we should be given some weapons, right?"

Therefore, only the steed city from the remaining post can pass through that iron gate

One of its uses is for steam guns

"That is not our concern; if you want weapons, go find them yourself." Another warrior snorted coldly and said, "If the Kabane appear on the city wall, you must drive them back, otherwise, the first to die will be you"

Each post station sustains its livelihood by facilitating the exchange of their respective products in this manner

No matter how one puts it, Fang Li has obtained a trump card to deal with Kabane

However, upon considering that these individuals are facing the crisis of extinction and can only find a sense of superiority over their weaker counterparts, the anger in Fang Li's heart transformed into compassion

Fortunately, this difficult time soon passed

The main divine messenger can only effectively utilize the resources at hand in order to complete the main quests in each world, earn rewards, and obtain what they desire

Even with the 1,000 exchange points and 5 free attribute points granted by the space, dealing with the Kabane is not an easy task

Were you scared like this? Then when you see the Kabane, won't you be completely stunned?

Around, one by one, the passersby cast their gazes over, whispering among themselves

Although the space will assign an identity to the main god's messenger, that is merely the most basic identity

So, these warriors did not expect my performance at all

This portable boiler is referred to as a "backpack engine" and has a variety of applications

That is also a matter of course

In such circumstances, Fang Li felt as if he were a criminal paraded through the streets, experiencing an overwhelming sense of discomfort
