Chapter 233: Since I Can't Use Firearms, I Can Only Secretly Use Spells to Fish in Troubled Waters

"In our Guard Hall, don't we have something like police cars?"

After getting her equipment on properly, Yun Mu found the middle-aged Guard Team Captain walking at the front and asked.

"Police cars? Vehicles specifically for the Guard?"

The other party first muttered the term "police car" as if lost in thought, then turned his head to look at the few Steam Transport Vehicles following behind them.

"Aren't those them?"

"No." Two black lines dropped from the top of Yun Mu's head: "I mean the kind people sit in, you know,"

"Sedans specifically used by the Guard."

She placed her hands in front of her and began to explain: "Walking on foot isn't fast enough, right? If we used sedans, the Guard could rush to every crime scene in the city at any time."

". What you say makes a lot of sense." The Guard Team Captain pondered for a moment, then shifted his tone: "But it's too idealistic."

"Why?" Yun Mu was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that he thinks Steam Cars are too expensive?

That shouldn't be it.

Isn't that thing something that can be mass-produced as long as there is a factory? Given the national strength of the Frost Kingdom, it shouldn't count as anything luxurious.

"The streets, the streets."

Facing Yun Mu's puzzled gaze, the Guard Team Captain explained to her: "Unless the entire city is torn down and rebuilt, there is no way to let sedans move freely within the city."

"Haven't you noticed? Those taxis only drive on wide road sections; a lot of the time they are taking detours, and they won't take you to the slums where crime is frequent, or the outer ring of the city."

"Of course, the most important reason..."

The Guard Team Captain paused for a moment when he reached this point.

". Probably because they feel there is no need."

He shook his head helplessly, looking like he didn't want to continue chatting about this topic.

"Then can't we take a carriage instead?"

Yun Mu still couldn't quite understand why they had to walk there.

"Hoo."

Good question; he actually wanted to know too.

The middle-aged Guard Team Captain silently took a deep breath.

Because the assembly was too slow, the only few vehicles available had been taken away by the captains of other squads who brought their men; was this kind of thing something he could say out loud? This rookie really didn't leave him any face at all.

"Ahem, let's leave this matter for later."

He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "Let me briefly explain the requirements for this mission..."

Yun Mu wasn't really listening to the rest of what the other party said; after all, she had known what the Guard Hall's mission was long before she came.

Of course, not listening carefully didn't mean she didn't hear it.

After all, she still needed to know the specific details regarding the distribution.

"Besides the Guard Hall, are there any other forces participating in this operation?" After hearing the account of the mission, Yun Mu asked the middle-aged Guard Team Captain.

"Yes." There was nothing to hide, so the other party told her directly what he knew: "The Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment stationed outside the city will also participate in this operation."

The Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment? That sounds so familiar; isn't this the army Brenna mentioned earlier that her old man, the King, stationed outside the city under the guise of military exercises?

I didn't expect there would actually be a day it could be put to use... "Alright, let's stop the small talk here."

Arriving at the target block, the pedestrians and residents here had already been dispersed.

Under the lead of the middle-aged Guard Team Captain, Yun Mu and the other guards followed the sewer entrance one after another and crawled into the city's sewer system.

When the familiar scent flooded into her nasal cavity again, Yun Mu felt a sense of emotion for a moment, one could even say, nostalgia.

She didn't even know how many times this was that she had returned to this place where her dreams began, after thinking she would never come to the sewers again.

If her transmigration experience were truly a transmigration novel.

Then the person writing her must be a third-rate Writer, or perhaps a pervert who likes to have beautiful young girls crawl into sewers.

In any case, it definitely wouldn't be anyone decent.

"Hey, hold it steady."

"This thing is really heavy..."

The voices of other guards came from behind; Yun Mu turned her head to look and saw several guards moving supplies and provisions off the Steam Transport Vehicle.

Hmm... it was an obvious fact; after all, those Steam Transport Vehicles couldn't drive inside the sewers, so someone had to be responsible for moving those boxes that looked very heavy.

Of course, this kind of thing wouldn't be left to the female guards to do; in fact, several burly male guards had long since volunteered to do it just to show off their muscles.

As for the Mecha Unit and the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment, they would enter from other entrances and then rendezvous with their side.

Actually, the true role of the Guard Hall was just to act as assistants to those big shots.

Just look at the equipment assigned to Yun Mu and you'll know.

An 8mm bolt-action rifle; you have to manually pull the bolt for every shot, with a maximum magazine capacity of ten rounds... Steam Mecha already have high-speed machine guns capable of continuous fire, and yet you give me this kind of thing? The humanoid monsters infected by the Scarlet in her dreams are just like the zombies in Resident Evil; compared to a bolt-action rifle that has high power and long range but slow fire rate and poor magazine capacity.

Yun Mu felt that giving her a semi-automatic rifle with a magazine capacity of over thirty would be more appropriate.

Uh, although for her, it didn't matter what kind of firearm she was given.

After all, she couldn't hit anything with any of them... Sure enough, when she arrived at the area her squad was responsible for, she saw that several Steam Mecha were already stationed at the assembly point.

The style of these Steam Mecha was exactly the same as the one she had picked up in the sewer back then, and the one she saw in her dream last night.

If nothing went wrong, these should all be Steam Mecha belonging to the Guard Hall.

Having been a "Captain" once, Yun Mu considered herself quite knowledgeable about the style and internal structure of the Guard Hall's mecha.

If she, who now possessed the Mecha Piloting skill, were to climb into the cockpit of a mecha, she could make it jump around on the spot.

It was a pity she couldn't do that, otherwise it would appear too abnormal.

What's more, the pilots of those mecha were still sitting inside; the fact that there was no place for her was somewhat regrettable; clearing out zombies by piloting a mecha was something she had only experienced in certain games in her past life.

As for last night?

At that time, she still thought she was the captain of the Mecha Unit; she didn't feel the slightest bit of excitement while operating the mecha, so it simply didn't count! It's decided: once she resolves the matter in the sewer, she will go and repair the Steam Mecha she found. It's perfect, she can also experiment to see how effective her newly acquired Mechanical Repair skill is.

Of course, all of that will have to wait until this matter is resolved.

"Guard Duo Li, your mission is to watch this hole. If there is anything unusual, notify me immediately using this Communication Device."

The middle-aged Guard Team Captain brought Yun Mu to the deep pit where the Mecha Unit had originally lost a mecha, and handed an item similar to a walkie-talkie from Earth to Yun Mu.

"Is it just me alone?" Yun Mu frowned subconsciously, feeling that the Guard Hall was being a bit imprudent.

There was certainly no problem with her guarding this place, but what if the person guarding here was just an ordinary Guard? Would the other party die the moment an abnormality appeared, without even being able to send a notification? Last night in her dream, it was because of this deep pit that she was caught in a pincer attack by the enemy; if possible, she still hoped the Guard Hall could take it more seriously.

"Don't worry, I believe in your strength." Noticing her expression, the middle-aged Guard Team Captain patted her on the shoulder.

"From the very first moment I saw you, I knew you were different from that bunch of good-for-nothings behind me," he said with a sincere tone.

How could you tell something like that? Yun Mu's mouth twitched slightly. Under the concealment of the Legendary Necklace, theoretically, no one should be able to see her special nature. Could it be that this Guard Team Captain had intuition far exceeding that of an ordinary person? Or was he just saying it randomly to fool her?

But this tone didn't sound like a lie either.

"And actually, it's not just you alone." The other party seemed to be recalling something. After confirming he hadn't remembered incorrectly, he said: "The Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment will take over here soon; you just need to watch it until then."

"Every three minutes, I will use the Communication Device to confirm the situation with you. If an abnormality occurs, the nearest guards will arrive within a minute and a half at most."

"Then when will the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment arrive?" Yun Mu interrupted the other party to ask.

"I'm not clear on that... Haha." The middle-aged Guard Team Captain gave a dry laugh, avoiding Yun Mu's gaze with a guilty conscience.

"The key is that those people didn't tell me when they would arrive either," he explained.

"Actually, there were no personnel arranged here originally. It's just that I came here to inspect just now and found that the people from the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment hadn't arrived yet, so I wanted you to watch it for a while."

"Fine." Yun Mu barely accepted the other party's explanation.

"Then go get busy, I'll watch from here," she said.

"Alrighty." For some reason, the middle-aged Guard Team Captain suddenly felt that the person in front of him was somewhat terrifying, as if they were his superior, so he subconsciously squeezed out a smiling face and said.

However, after he finished speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, thinking to himself why he was being so polite to a newcomer in the Guard Team.

But since the words were already out, he couldn't take them back, so he could only pretend that nothing had happened and walk toward the area he was responsible for.

However, he had only walked halfway when he was called out by Yun Mu from behind.

"Wait a moment, I have something I want to ask."

"What is it? Go ahead and ask." Hearing her words, the Guard Team Captain turned around helplessly.

"Uh... never mind, it seems there's nothing," Yun Mu said suddenly with a guilty conscience.

She had originally wanted to ask the other party if he knew how the Mecha Unit's clearing of the sewers was progressing, and specifically which district the details were for, so she could judge how far away it was from the time in her dream last night.

But thinking about it carefully, this wasn't something a Guard Team Captain would know, and besides, she herself couldn't explain why she would know about the Mecha Unit clearing the sewers.

"... Forget it, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving." With his mouth twitching in annoyance, the Guard Team Captain had wanted to say something, but felt it wasn't necessary, so he eventually left without further ado.

And after the Guard Team Captain left, Yun Mu just stayed by the side of this deep pit, staring at it for two hours. "So much for the people from the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment?"

Arriving at the time for the two sides to contact each other again, Yun Mu questioned the Guard Team Captain on the other side of the Communication Device in a very dissatisfied tone.

"I don't know either..." the Guard Team Captain said, looking very ashamed.

Is this Fifth Mechanized Infantry Regiment reliable? Their people from the Guard Hall had been waiting for over two hours in front of the entrance to the deep level of the sewer, enduring the stench, so why hadn't their people arrived yet? "Wait, there's movement..."

"The enemy is here!"

"Prepare for Shooting!"

On the other side of the Communication Device, intense gunfire suddenly erupted. Besides that, there were also the wails and screams of Monsters.

"Did monsters appear on your side?" Yun Mu hurriedly glanced at the pit beside her.

No abnormalities, very good.

"Just some ordinary Monsters." On the other side of the Communication Device, the sounds of battle gradually faded, and it soon returned to calm.

And after the battle ended, that Guard Team Captain explained to Yun Mu.

Just as the two were about to end the communication, Yun Mu suddenly discovered an abnormal phenomenon on her side.

She saw a large number of Monsters emerging from the dark passageway, constantly wandering at the bottom of the pit, seemingly looking for a way up.

Yun Mu was silent for a moment, but decided not to notify that Guard Team Captain, instead hanging up the communication with him.

The reason she chose not to tell the other party about the abnormality here was actually very simple: it was unnecessary.

Sending ordinary guards would not provide enough firepower, and if she let the Mecha Unit people come over, Yun Mu was afraid that something would go wrong on their side.

Then the answer before her was very clear.

Couldn't she just guard this place herself?

As long as she summoned Lucy, Dabai, Chester, the newly recruited Goblin Brave, and that Skeleton Witch, she felt she could still hold this place.

Even if she really couldn't hold it, she could hold out until the people from the Mecha Unit arrived.

Therefore, there was indeed no need to notify the other party about the abnormal situation here.

Especially now, with only a group of ordinary Monsters that couldn't get up at all.

These guys were nothing but her targets. Yun Mu raised the Tokov Type 3 in her hand and aimed at a giant rat below.

"Bang!"

The body of a Slime burst open suddenly, and the intense impact of the bullet instantly scattered its slime-like body.

"Tsk."

Although she successfully killed a Monster, hitting the wrong target still made Yun Mu feel somewhat unhappy.

She raised her hand and unleashed a Mental Shock, and that giant rat died on the spot.

Afterward, Yun Mu did not continue to cast spells, but turned the muzzle and aimed at the next Monster... She intended to take this opportunity to practice her marksmanship.

This thing should also be able to be linked to Civilization, right? As long as she could trigger Accelerated Eureka, she believed she would definitely be able to master the skill of firearm aiming very quickly.
