Chapter 138 Bai Shuyuan's Arms Reserves
The next day, Xiao Lü and Bai Shuyuan prepared to go to the target area to conduct reconnaissance.
The two flew silently over the city, their flight monotonous.
Aside from the sound of the wind, the only thing that could break the monotony was some kind of sound coming from the side.
"Ding—Ding—"
Inside Bai Shuyuan's large black cloak, there seemed to be many metal parts clashing together.
"Your cloak seems to be stuffed with quite a bit of stuff."
In the end, unable to suppress her curiosity, Xiao Lü asked.
"really."
Bai Shuyuan nodded.
"After all, I'm relatively weak in terms of magic. So I'm used to making extra preparations when I go out."
----weak?
This assessment is far too different from Xia Zhaozhao's previous description of her.
"————This is completely different from what Xia Zhaozhao said," Xiao Lü said.
After all, Xia Zhaozhao had practically lauded her as a Jedi Knight during her previous actions with Bai Shuyuan.
"Whether in terms of strength, speed, or simply close-quarters combat ability, I am far inferior to her."
Bai Shuyuan's answer was quite frank.
"Of course, there's no comparison—"
Just as Xiao Lü was about to reply, she realized that she actually knew nothing about the true upper limit of Xia Zhaozhao's strength.
"In my observations so far, her fighting style has indeed always been relatively effortless."
"Moreover, her ability seems to be the type that can directly affect herself, which is very rare."
"Hmm? Aren't magical girls' bodies all enhanced to some extent?"
"No, she's special."
Bai Shuyuan explained.
"Based on her ability description, her body parts should also fall into the category of weapons."
"In other words—"
"And based on the level of ability she has demonstrated, if she were to define her legs as weapons and then enhance them with magic—"
"It should be able to reach the level of kicking a person against a wall so they can't be scraped off."
"...
""
"Also, if you're curious about what I carry with me—"
Bai Shuyuan reached into the cloak and fumbled around for a moment.
He then pulled out a palm-sized, remote-like device. On the top of the remote was a button protected by a flip cover.
"I stole the detonation button for the nuclear missile launcher from the White House basement."
"----ah?"
"joke."
Bai Shuyuan said calmly, "In fact, it's just a wireless detonator."
"Sacrificing a walkie-talkie for every bomb used is too extravagant in the apocalypse."
—Although, Xiao Lü felt that each of her 14.5mm bullets was worth countless walkie-talkies.
Before she finished speaking, Bai Shuyuan, like a magician, pulled out even more things from her cloak.
"I made some sticky bombs and simple Claymore mines."
She showed Xiao Lü several blocks that looked like soap and a few curved metal boxes.
"I'm here today to test the practical effectiveness of these things."
Then came even more miscellaneous items.
"Stun grenades, smoke grenades, thermal imagers, Geiger counters."
"This is a rangefinder, used for accurate distance measurement."
"An endoscope camera is used to observe the interior through a crack in the door."
"Lock picking tools, military multi-functional dagger, high-strength cutting wire."
"Also," she patted her chest.
"Since I didn't need the bulletproof plates, I stuffed the pockets that were originally used to hold the plates with compressed biscuits and chocolate."
",
Just when she thought the personal equipment exhibition was about to end, Bai Shuyuan pulled out three pistols from her waist: one, two, and three.
Two of them were the kind of revolvers that Xiao Lü was very familiar with, while the other one was ridiculously large, more like a cannon than a gun.
"Thompson Competitor, single-shot pistol," Bai Shuyuan introduced.
"It can quickly change barrels and sights, and is compatible with .22 caliber rifle cartridges, shotgun cartridges, and even electro-optical rounds."
Little Green recognized this thing. Its unique design and exaggerated power made it a frequent weapon in action movies.
"Furthermore, magical girls don't need to worry about recoil," Bai Shuyuan added calmly.
"This is the power of magic."
"—But this isn't magic at all."
Xiao Lü felt her吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize) energy was about to overflow, and she missed Xia Zhaozhao a little.
"Wait, you brought all this stuff—just to scout?"
"It's just a habit."
"I'm still very curious, where did you get all these things?"
"I was picked up from a garbage dump. In fact, I've been on many battlefields."
—What does "many battlefields" mean? Does it refer to the Iraq War or the Battle of Fei River?
"—May I ask, when did you begin your activities as a magical girl? During King Wu's conquest of Zhou?"
"This is it."
Bai Shuyuan didn't answer, but simply pointed to a residential area in front of her, the topic change was extremely abrupt.
—An irrelevant answer.
This seems to be one of her habits.
"It is indeed a residential community."
Xiao Lü looked in the direction she was pointing and stopped asking the questions that she seemed unwilling to answer.
After all, getting to the bottom of things isn't my job; unclogging toilets is.
This location does indeed match what that guy said—the chosen site for a refuge in the basement of the residential complex.
The water level seemed slightly better than near the bank, but the road was still submerged in murky, dark red liquid, obscuring its original appearance.
The two flew into the already rusted gate of the residential area. Bai Shuyuan began to look around, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the manhole covers on the water's surface.
"Find nearby storm drain covers and remove sewage drain covers."
Xiao Lü nodded; she could tell the difference herself. In the community's drainage system, rainwater and sewage are usually separated.
That guy hiding underground, whether he's a monster or not, is at least the type that can communicate normally, so he shouldn't be soaking himself in a septic tank.
Therefore, his hiding place was most likely connected to a relatively clean rainwater pipe—right?
"Although the rainfall is not heavy, it has been raining continuously. Under these circumstances, the fact that the water level here has been maintained indicates that water is still being drained away."
"The underground water system within a residential community is typically a tree-like structure."
Bai Shuyuan's voice came calmly.
"Therefore, it is necessary to observe the vortex at the manhole cover."
Little Green immediately understood what she meant.
Within a region, the place with the most turbulent water flow and the largest whirlpools is likely the main pipeline where all the drainage branch pipes of that community eventually converge into the main pipeline.
"By controlling that place, we can block all his escape routes underground."
