Zhong Lingxin didn't know anything about someone investigating her, and she didn't know about someone's entanglement.

She was very distressed now, where to find the weapon, which was really a troublesome problem.

Electromagnetic weapons, which are now commonly used by the Federal Army, will be ineffective after the Atlas Invasion.

Ordinary thermal weapons, although still in use, are also strictly regulated.

Therefore, the thermal weapon Zhong Lingxin doesn't need to think about it, and money can't buy it.

As for cold weapons such as swords and broadswords, the Federation does not impose any restrictions on this. After all, this is an era of peace, the crime rate is very low, and the lethality of cold weapons is far less than that of others.

In fact, compared to thermal weapons with high recoil and high noise, Zhong Lingxin prefers cold weapons.

Nowadays, there are many things in cold weapons that can be called black technology. One of them is a crossbow.

Thinking of this, Zhong Lingxin's mind couldn't help but flash the figure of a man, and there was a hint of warmth in her cold eyes.

In a casual conversation in his previous life, Zhong Lingxin knew that he had opened an outdoor goods store in Lingjiang District, Xiongshi City.

Because of his love of cold weapons, half of the warehouse in the store is his treasures.

He also said to Zhong Lingxin with a look of regret that because he fled in too haste, he only took out a few of his favorites, and the others didn't know which ones were cheaper.

***

In an inconspicuous outdoor store in central Kumamoto, Chen Zhen was sitting in a chair with a decadent face, fiddling with his mobile phone boredly, and his eye-catching red dyed hair seemed to be a little darker.

The bell rang clearly, and the wind chimes at the gate rang, indicating that someone had come in.

Chen Zhen immediately stood up, put his phone in his pocket, and looked down at the guest in front of him, who was younger than himself.

"Hello, what do you need?"

Zhong Lingxin frowned almost invisibly, glanced at him, and placed a stack of ten-centimeter-high banknotes on the counter.

Zhong Lingxin doesn't like others to be noticed because of her slightly immature baby face.

"Here are 100,000. I know you have more advanced cold weapons that are not in circulation in the market, so call your boss here. ”

Chen Zhen was frightened by the girl's money-throwing action in front of him, and without asking a word, he dialed the internal line and asked the boss to come over.

Not long after, a burly man in his fifties wearing a camouflage vest on his upper body and a pair of tactical trousers on his lower body walked towards Zhong Lingxin, with a deep sense of vicissitudes on his weather-beaten face.

Zhong Lingxin has a pretty face, which makes people unable to see the expression.

But her heartbeat continued to rise and fall with the footsteps of her boots.

Staring at the familiar scar on this man's right eye, Zhong Lingxin's eyes couldn't help but feel a little wet, and he silently shouted in his heart: Master, long time no see.

Zhong Lingxin will always remember that big rough and warm hand that pulled Zhong Lingxin out of the abyss of despair when she was about to be violated by a few survivors who gave Zhong Dawei a bag of cookies.

Even in the face of constant opposition from his teammates, he did not abandon her.

This man's strict teachings gave her the ability to live to the tenth year.

How ridiculous, Zhong Lingxin's long-cherished fatherly love came from a stranger, and her biological father could easily sell her.

This somewhat wooden man died in the end trying to save her.

When he was dying, he let Zhong Lingxin know that his unrequited dedication and care were just because Zhong Lingxin's face was somewhat similar to his daughter.

When she called out "Dad", the man's serene face with a smile when he died made Zhong Ling's heart ache.

Since that day, Zhong Lingxin has never cried again.

Because all those who loved her are dead, and tears have no meaning.

Tang Haoqiang looked Zhong Lingxin up and down, his eyes were full of gentleness, and his concern was fully revealed. Her heart was filled with warmth, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.

She has a pair of distant mountain-like eyebrows, slightly frowned, there seems to be a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, eyes as bright as autumn water, which are full of tears, gently fluttering eyelashes, but the corners of her mouth are raised, and her smile evokes a pear vortex.

Zhong Ling's burning eyes and crying and laughing expression made Tang Haoqiang wonder in his heart, do they know each other?

He suppressed the strange familiarity in his heart, thinking that Zhong Lingxin was frightened and crying by the scar on her face.

Tang Haoqiang tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth to show a smiling expression, as if he was afraid of scaring her again, and deliberately said in a low voice and gently: "Girl, what kind of cold weapon do you want?"

"As long as it's a cold weapon, it's fine." Zhong Lingxin had already stopped her tears and looked at Tang Haoqiang with a smile.

Chen Zhen, who was standing next to him, was stunned by his boss's tone.

Their boss used to be "do you like to buy or not, if you don't buy love, where should you go", so their business will be so bleak, and they can't receive orders for three or five days.

Chen Zhen couldn't help but pout, looking at this flattering smile, which made him wonder if the boss had been dropped.

Tang Haoqiang glanced at the stack of banknotes on the counter, and instructed Chen Zhen: "Xiao Chen, go and hang up the sign that is temporarily closed, and pour a good cup of tea for the distinguished guests." ”

After speaking, he led Zhong Lingxin to the second floor of the store and opened the dark wall of a reception room.

After a while, a secret room with various cold weapons appeared in front of them.

This girl gave him an inexplicable affection and made him want to show her all his collections.

"Electromagnetic weapons and thermal weapons, I don't have them here. Do you have what you need for these cold weapons? ”

Zhong Lingxin looked around the display case and selected a sniper crossbow.

This is the sniper crossbow left to her by Tang Haoqiang in the previous life, and it is an old man who has accompanied Zhong Lingxin for several years.

Tang Haoqiang looked at Zhong Lingxin holding the crossbow and looked like he couldn't put it down, and couldn't help but introduce it: "This crossbow is called Shadow Walker, and its performance is very excellent in all aspects.

On the basis of the reasonable layout, an automatic safety device is also added to increase safety, and in addition, there is a built-in winding power winch, which is easy to operate. Little girl, you have little strength, and you can use it more confidently.

This set of crossbows not only looks good-looking, but also has a layer of military coating on the crossbow body, which can play a good anti-corrosion effect. And it can be disassembled and assembled at will, which is very convenient to carry.

The crossbow is also equipped with an infrared night sight device, an optical sight, which is capable of firing at targets at night. The total length is about 80 centimeters, and the weight is only 3.5 kilograms.

It can shoot both steel arrows and steel balls. When using arrows, its range can reach about 150 meters, and the initial velocity can reach a terrifying 130 km / s, much faster than bullets, and the power is huge, and it can easily shoot through the double-layer large iron bucket within 120 meters.

Except for the price, there are no other drawbacks. It's a pity that there is only one left, and I originally planned to treasure it. Since you have a crush on it, I'll sell it to you. ”

Zhong Lingxin's eyebrows moved almost invisibly, indeed, this crossbow, she was soft and hard in her previous life, plus she was coquettish and cute for a long time, and her master gave it to her

Listening to Tang Haoqiang's endless introduction like in his previous life, Zhong Lingxin nodded obediently and gently put the crossbow back on the table

Knowing that Zhong Lingxin was an expert, Tang Haoqiang did not hide it, and recommended a weapon suitable for her to Zhong Lingxin.

In terms of melee combat, Zhong Lingxin chose a scimitar with a unique shape.

Tang Haoqiang pulled out a 40cm-long knife from the leather scabbard, showing a sharp blade, "This side of the knife has a wide belly and narrow two ends, so it has the name of ***." Don't underestimate this knife, in addition to its strange shape, it is sharp enough to cut off the head of a wild boar with a single knife. And there will be a small V-shaped dent at the bottom of the blade, which can direct the blood after pulling out so as not to stain the handle.

In addition to being used in hand-to-hand combat, it is also an excellent wilderness survival knife, and it is very powerful to open cans and dissect prey.

And what touches people most about this knife is the belief of the people who first used it, 'It is better to die than to live cowardly'.

The knives I have here are all national sword level. You can't find any blade material on the market. ”

Tang Haoqiang followed behind him and babbled and recommended for more than an hour, Zhong Lingxin listened silently, nodded occasionally, and pointed out all the weapons introduced by Tang Haoqiang, as well as a large number of pure steel hunting arrows and steel balls with crossbows.

Of course, she also picked up a bunch of outdoor jackets and mountaineering bags, and scattered all kinds of things that can be used outdoors.

Chen Zhen was busy following behind to write a list, so happy that his eyes, which were still quite big, narrowed into a line; Tang Haoqiang and Zhong Lingxin were also very happy to introduce it, and generously sold several other non-sale items that they planned to treasure to Zhong Lingxin.

When swiping the card, Tang Haoqiang also happily erased the fraction for Zhong Lingxin, because there were too many of them, and provided free delivery service to Zhong Lingxin.

Before leaving, Zhong Lingxin looked at the master in front of her, who made her feel as kind as in her previous life, and her clear eyes were as clear as water, implying a silent concern for him.

She was hesitant to tell him that another world was coming, and she was afraid that something would go wrong because of the butterfly effect.

"Boss, my classmate is a journalist, and there is internal information that strange and mysterious events will happen from this month onwards. You'd better stock up on food and drink in the basement. And on the last day of the month, you must stay in the basement and not be able to come out, no matter what happens. ”

Now she has no ability to protect anyone, and it is useless to stay here, she will only drag him down like in the previous life.

Reborn, she didn't bring back any abilities and didn't have a strong background.

The only advantage is the survival experience and combat skills left in her head.

Zhong Lingxin was entangled for a while, left these words and left.

Zhong Lingxin didn't care whether Tang Haoqiang believed these words or not, she still wanted to remind him and let him escape the darkness and chaos at the beginning of the end of the world.

She's going to come to him anyway.

"Uncle Tang, that guest just now is really strange, why did you buy so many weapons? How did she know we had a basement here? What did she mean by those last words? Is there going to be a war again? Chen Zhen tilted his head sideways and looked at Tang Haoqiang with a questioning expression.

Tang Haoqiang retracted his gaze that had been staring at the girl's back for a long time, turned around and knocked on Chen Zhen's head, "Why do you ask so much?" Just make money, talk less and work more. Go and call someone to reinforce the basement, the military rations in the warehouse are not for sale, and canned food and bottled water are stored. ”

Chen Zhen covered his head and exclaimed bitterly, "You really believe it!" Ouch! Well, you're the boss, you're the biggest! ”

Chen Zhen is an orphan, and when he almost went down the wrong path, it was Tang Haoqiang who gave him a job to eat and live.

So, they are more like a father and son than the relationship between employees and bosses.

Although Chen Zhen didn't understand Tang Haoqiang's arrangement, he still did his work according to his instructions.

For a long time after the arrival of the strange beast, Chen Zhen was very grateful for the boss's wise decision this time.

The girl who used to make him a little strange has become even more mysterious.

***

The advent of the other world is recognized as December 31, 2023, when many places in the world opened spatial channels at the same time, tens of millions of human beings were involved in the other world, a large number of low-level alien beasts began to invade on a large scale, and the sea blue star completely turned into a desolate continent wrapped in a white mist.

Until December 31, 2023, the status of the channel was actually switched between open and closed.

When a spatial channel is opened, a spatial crack is generated. If you are within the confines of this mutant space, you will be brought into the mutant space; After closing, they will be brought back to their original space.

This is also the earliest contact between Aquamarine and the other world before the full-scale invasion of the other world.

Cracks in space around the world have produced all sorts of strange human disappearances.

It's just that at the time, no human beings realized that this was a prelude to the coming of death.

Zhong Lingxin's opportunity is these strange events.

There have been 12 bizarre incidents in Kumamoto City, which have been recorded by the Federation. In fact, there are far more than that, and there are some that are not known to humans because there are no human casualties.

One of them, Zhong Lingxin did not forget, was because in her previous life, she participated in the editing of press releases after the end of that incident.

It was a mysterious incident that happened at the Kumamoto City Zoo.

When the zoo staff fed the animals the next morning, they found that the monkeys on the monkey hill in the zoo had disappeared, leaving only a few pools of blood on the ground and some broken fur hanging from the trees with blood stains.

This matter, because there were no human deaths, only animals disappeared, did not attract the attention of the Federation.

At that time, there was no clue about the mysterious event, so that Zhong Lingxin could be sure that the first mysterious incident that occurred in Kumamoto City was in the zoo.

Zhong Lingxin was not prepared to wait at home, she wanted to seize these opportunities.

She has to use the otherworldly space passage opened around Kumamoto City to complete her evolution in advance to fight against the various low-level alien beasts that are coming.

When Tang Haoqiang sent all the equipment to the underground warehouse, Zhong Lingxin's preparations were over.

Zhong Lingxin put on a waterproof and wear-resistant jacket, put on a mountaineering bag, brought all the necessary equipment, and began to set off towards the first goal.

Just when all the human beings on the sea blue star were ignorant and ignorant, Zhong Ling had already begun his journey to become stronger!
