Chapter 70: The Most Powerful Weapon
Yun Hong's question made Ikoma silent for a long time, and he shook his head regretfully: "No, it's not enough, but I believe that one day the samurai... Not only warriors, but also civilians, with more powerful equipment, Kabane could not pose a threat like ordinary beasts, and humans would no longer have to abandon their companions, and would never be afraid of beyond the walls. ”
Hearing the young man's longing, Yun Hong smiled dumbly: "It's a good answer, but the price you need to pay to achieve this goal is too great and won't be accepted by everyone." ”
"How come, the barrel I researched can already penetrate the heart of Kabane, and it is definitely a powerful weapon to equip a samurai!" Ikoma retorted unwillingly.
Yun Hong's face was calm, and he raised the pipe in his hand to face Ikoma's forehead, his calm eyes contained an irrepressible will, making people have no doubt that he would erase the life of an ordinary person for no reason like this.
Being pointed at the head with a lethal weapon, the fearless Ikoma felt a cold murderous intent from Yun Hong's eyes for the first time, purely without any disguise, he never knew that a person's eyes could express such a powerful malice. For a moment, Ikoma's head went blank, and he didn't have the idea of dodging the shot.
The terror that Yun Hong inflicted on him accumulated with the atmosphere of silence, gradually crushing all his mind.
I don't know how long it took, but the Ikoma who looked at Shang Yunhong's eyes stiffened and said with difficulty: "You..."
"Smack!"
Yun Hong suddenly pulled the trigger of the tube, and the barrel that was supposed to shoot the jet bullet only rang plainly. The moment he heard the gunshot, Ikoma fell to the ground with weak legs and breathed heavily, cold sweat oozed from his pale face, his heart fluttered and fluctuated, and he walked through the ghost gate.
Yun Hong slightly controlled his spiritual elements and showed strong targeted malice, and Ikoma was strong-willed but just an untempered hairy boy, how could he face such a sharp and clear killing machine.
Yun Hong smiled and asked, "Ikoma, do you understand a little bit like this?" ”
Ikoma hurriedly got up, grabbed Yun Hong's collar and asked angrily, "What do you understand!" What the hell are you trying to do, I'd be dead if I had just fired a jet bomb through the barrel! ”
Yun Hong raised the barrel and put it on the table next to him: "That's why I can't fire ammunition with my hands and feet on the barrel, I am asking you to understand the feelings of the samurai?" You are not afraid of Kabane, but the samurai are just ordinary human beings, and if you don't know how the samurai feel when facing Kabane, then think back to the fear you just felt. ”
Yun Hong's mental oppression to him is much more terrifying than Kabane's simple threat, and only in this way can he shake Ikoma's will, he put down Yun Hong's collar and said with a gloomy face: "What does this mean, the enemy of the human race is only Kabane, and you are also here to seek cooperation." ”
"In time, the barrel you invented may become a powerful weapon in the hands of the samurai, but it is impossible to turn the situation around, and it is not just weapons that are needed to change the current situation of Kabane and humanity. Not everyone has the same courage to face danger as you, and the first thought of human beings when faced with danger is to save themselves rather than risk their lives to kill the enemy. ”
Ikoma said disdainfully, "How will you know if you don't try it?" "He knows more than anyone else the cowardice of human nature, and he disdains it more than anyone else, and it is because of his cowardice that his sister became Kabane.
Yun Hong observed Ikoma's expression and said unhurriedly: "It's because I've already tried, Ikoma, you are very similar to someone I've seen." The son of the current shogun, the commander of the Kakata Clan, Amatoya Mima. ”
Ikoma turned his head and fiddled with his tube, and when he heard Yun Hong's words, he frowned and asked, "The general's son?" I don't think I'm that noble. ”
"Ten years ago, the shogunate was divided into two factions, one was the radical faction that believed that humans should go out from the post house to hunt Kabane, and the other faction believed that humans should stay in the post house and wait for the right time. Then the representative of the radical faction, Ama Mima, the son of the shogun who was only a teenager at the time, led an army of 400,000 to take the initiative, and the result was that all the 400,000 troops became Kabane, and the only survivor was Amatori Mima. At that time, the shogunate rulers were mostly conservatives, and for this reason, they cut off the supply of 400,000 troops and led to the defeat of this war, and the son of the shogun still cannot let go, intending to find out the culprits who blocked the supply back then to take revenge. ”
Yun Hong smiled and said meaningfully: "Ikoma, your thoughts are the same as those of the radicals, people will praise you for your courage, but people never want to be one of them, when you want to impose this courage on others, you will become an outlier rather than a brave, and the result is likely to be the same as that war." ”
Ikoma had heard about the war ten years ago, and was surprised that Yun Hong knew so much about the inside of that war, and turned to look at the foreign man who made him elusive and asked directly, "So what will you do, what kind of weapon do you think is qualified to change this situation." ”
"My answer is the same as that of the head of the Sifang River family, and the fear comes from the fragility of human beings in front of Kabane, and humans want to have the possibility of surviving the attack of Kabane more than having a powerful weapon, of course, a powerful weapon is also one of this possibility. The most frightening thing about Kabane is not their powerful body, nor their frightening appearance, but the virus infection after being bitten by Kabane, and humans are afraid that they will become one of Kabane, and fear that even a simple abrasion can be more deadly than a knife and axe. ”
"What if that's the case, what do you want to tell me, why do you want to tell me these things?" Ikoma's aggressive tone disappeared, and he acquiesced to what Yun Hong said, and he could also feel that there was something in Yun Hong's words.
"You are an excellent talent, and you are willing to live with the fate of being just a post repairman for the rest of your life? I'm just short of manpower, so if you want to know my answer to that question, you can come to Iron City tomorrow at noon. With that, Yun Hong lifted the curtain and prepared to leave the simple and cramped laboratory.
Seeing Yun Hong's back leaving, Ikoma couldn't help but ask again: "Why me, you have such a powerful ability, and others are definitely willing to follow you." ”
"At least your courage is different from others, reckless bravery is not advisable, but if you don't even have the courage to step out of this station, it is only useless cowardice."
Leaving Ikoma's laboratory, Yun Hong continued to measure the Xianjin Post and the surrounding terrain, this time it was only on a whim that Yun Hong had a conversation with Ikoma, he admired Ikoma's character very much, on the other hand, this character has shortcomings, and it is described in a bad direction as the middle two reckless, or quite capable of action in the depth of the middle two.
As for what Yun Hong wants to get from Ikoma, the fact that he can transform into Kabaneri without relying on external conditions is quite worth studying, and his identity as a person who shows the golden post also has good value.
