Chapter 258: The Ancient Weapons of All Nations Exposition
What kind of enemies will you encounter? No one can say!
Cassel recounted the last time he encountered zombies, wraiths, Sith warriors, terminators, predators, and xenomorphs on that island, and who knows what he would encounter this time?
Although they haven't encountered anything special so far, they won't always be so lucky.
"Can you teach me how to use this thing before you study those things?" Kara was still resistant to killing, but if the opponent wasn't human, then she wouldn't have to hold back.
The embarrassing thing is that when she wants to show her strength, in addition to her super physical fitness, she can't use her special abilities.
In this case, the issued pistol seems to be a good weapon, but this old-fashioned revolver is more cumbersome to use.
Old-fashioned revolvers are single-action, meaning that you need to pull the hammer before firing and then pull the trigger to complete the shot - and the old-fashioned revolver is not an automatic pistol, and you need to re-pull the hammer after one shot to make the next shot.
So in many movies about cowboys in the West, those gunners will use their left hand to quickly press down the hammer when shooting, so as to quickly complete the continuous shooting.
In the future, after the development of pistols into automatic pistols, the hammer needs to be wrenched before shooting with a single pistol, but it is only before the first shot, and this operation is not required in the future.
The double-action pistol doesn't need to hit the hammer at all, only need to pay attention to whether the safety is turned on, and Louis's favorite Glock pistol doesn't even need to check the safety, just pull the trigger when shooting (the built-in triple safety does not need to be manually opened and closed).
It was like such a 'primitive' firearm, and several people present were not used to it.
"Oh, by the way, the sexy sheriff gave us some weapons in addition to our quarters. Kassel suddenly pointed to one of the rooms, which was Kassel's.
After offering accommodation, they chose rooms according to their personal preferences, with Louis and Kassel choosing the first floor and the others choosing the second floor.
While Louis was chatting with Ellen, Cassel took a look around several other empty rooms, only to find that one of them contained weapons and ammunition.
"It's a couple of spears. Wade couldn't sit idle, so he simply went and fetched a long gun and bullets back: "The classic Winchester lever-fired repeating rifle." ”
This is also a classic firearm that appears frequently in many western films, and the most classic part is the loading action of pushing and pulling.
"When you're okay tomorrow, find a place to practice your gun, at least get familiar with how to use it first. Louie didn't expect all of them to become sharpshooters in a few days, he just hoped that they wouldn't even know how to shoot to protect themselves at a critical moment.
Thankfully, Kassel is the only one who is an ordinary person, and Kassel is a rich idler, and he likes to study everything when he has nothing to do: horseback riding, fencing, shooting!
He also has a collection of classic weapons of his own, and he also used them to scare his daughter's boyfriend...... Of course, I know how to use these weapons.
"That's it for today, let's rest for a few days, according to the information I heard, there are still a few days before the opening of Genesis Mountain. ”
There is no rainbow on Genesis Mountain, but according to calculations, it has been the last few days, and Ellen has 'hired' Louis and the others in advance, after all, she can't expect things to happen to do the preparations, and it is too late to do anything at that time.
What's more, Ellen didn't know if she could still be a person at that time, even if she prepared in advance, she only 'hired' Louie's team, and no one wanted to take the job at all.
These contents are all vaguely revealed information during small talk, Ellen may not take this information seriously, but Louis analyzes more things from it: this place is closer to the real world than the first two levels.
So far, he hasn't seen or encountered too many strange things, the background information and characters are very real, except for the room that exploded on the spot, which was too clean.
After a good night's rest, the next morning, Louis saw that the sky was getting brighter, and immediately got up and washed up briefly.
There are two sources of water in Paradise Town, one is the town's well, which is almost the most important source of water for the entire village, and the other is in the farmland not far from the town, where the groundwater was dug up and a reservoir was made to provide the necessary water for the farmland.
In addition, the town has a water tower dedicated to storing water in case of any emergency.
It can be said that this is a relatively water-scarce town, because of the water, the population here is not too large, and only a small number of residents rely on barren fields, small pastures and small mines to survive.
If it weren't for Genesis Mountain, it would be a remote and barren town, and there was nothing to worry about, and even robbers would not bother to come to this place.
In half a day, everyone gathered all kinds of information after walking around the town, and shared information by the way while eating.
"Also, I've always felt a little familiar to this sheriff named Ellen. Cassel touched his chin, then looked closely at the people next to him.
It was clear that he had already recognized 'who' this Ellen was, and now he wanted to make sure that the others had found out.
As a result, several women were confused, but Wade next to him pouted disdainfully: "It seems that you have watched the picture of her crossed legs." ”
"That's not the point!" Cassel waved his hand, as if he had been slandered, "I mean, if it's really that one, then maybe we'll meet Jack again...... Well, Jack who hasn't won a ticket yet. ”
"You mean to ask, is it possible for us to board that ship destined to hit an iceberg and then go silent?" Louis understood what Cassel meant, the strange world was like extracting elements from various worlds and blending them into a hodgepodge.
The presence of a character from a certain world here may be a clue or a sign, as in the last time Cassel experienced, and some of the companions also foreshadowed the troubles they were going to encounter.
"yes, that's what I wanted to say. ”
"It's not impossible, but we can only take it one step at a time. "That person has played so many roles, who knows which plot it will be linked to?
What's more, this kind of connection is not inevitable, and it may simply be thrown into a 'character' and there is no follow-up connection.
After sharing the information, Cassel takes Carla and Greyback to practice the use of these old guns, and Wade prepares to go to the tavern to sit down and ask for more information.
Louis and Artoria go to the blacksmith to see if they can make some swords and the like.
Artoria prefers to use cold weapons for melee combat than firearms, and even if she can't use her magic, she won't change the combat habits she has developed over the years.
Anyway, after the physical fitness has been greatly improved, even if she can't use magic power enhancement, she can still play a crushing effect, as long as the opponent is an ordinary person, she doesn't have to worry about her combat power not enough.
"Oh, in that case, by the way, I'll see if the blacksmith is good, I'd like to buy two knives too." "Wade Wilson is also good at cold weapon melee combat, and in addition to being proficient in all kinds of firearms, he is also a master of a variety of martial arts.
There is also a spirit butterfly who is also good at using cold weapons, usually she can use superpowers, she does not need to carry too many kinds of weapons, because she can use telekinesis to condense into various weapons to use, but unfortunately superpowers can't be used, she can only reserve a few more weapons.
Even Kassel found it more convenient to bring an extra sword or knife.
This is a big purchase, but there is a very embarrassing situation in front of everyone: no money!
"I knew I was going to help that guy collect his body yesterday. "Maybe you can scavenge some cash and help you replenish some weapons and equipment.
Now he had to go to Ellen to consult, and he wondered if Ellen would be willing to help them get some swords and darts or something: the cost would still be deducted from the remuneration.
When Louie found Ellen, who was patrolling outside the town, she fell into a stupor when she heard Louie's request: "Long sword, long knife, dart, what do you want these things for?" The long whip is understandable, this thing is more useful, and many gunmen will carry a long whip.
But there are really not many people who can use long swords and long knives, at most they have a short knife and dagger.
"If a fight breaks out, there may be close-quarters combat, and these weapons will most likely be needed. ”
"Even if I could get these things, would you use them?" Ellen couldn't understand Louie's request, now that they were all shooting with long guns and short guns, did anyone still study the use of those weapons?
"Of course it will, otherwise I wouldn't have asked if you could get it. ”
"It's hard, these things you want are too unpopular in this place. Ellen shook his head, in the middle of nowhere in Paradise Town, it is impossible to get a good cold weapon, and the blacksmiths in the town also have that kind of craft—can they still use that skill in such a remote place?
At this moment, Louis looked into the distance and suddenly laughed: "It seems that there is no need to go to the blacksmith in the town, the one who brought us equipment is here." ”
Ellen, who was leading the horse around Paradise Town, was stunned, suddenly realized what Louis meant by this, and looked in the direction Louie was looking.
It was so far away that she could only see a long black shadow on the horizon, and she didn't know what was happening.
However, judging from the smoke and dust, it should be a lot of people or animals.
"Can you see what it is, is it a robber or something?"
"It's human! and it's heavily armed...... Soldiers of various countries. Louis looked a little strange, because he saw in the distance the procession the weapons and armor of all the countries of the world, both East and West—like a world ancient weapons fair.
