"An alternate timeline?"
"I've seen alternate timeline novels too."
Everyone was bewildered, struggling to accept it.
But their eyes were fixed on the vending machine, and they all remembered the terrifying incident that was known throughout Longcheng, and even now in several other bases: Fu Xinci had transmigrated.
And them, almost every evening, waited there, all for the sake of trading with that Fu girl.
They traded real money and precious metals, and in return, Fu girl gave them unpolluted food and daily necessities.
Ah, everyone was a rough person surviving in the apocalypse. Since they could accept Fu girl's transmigration, what was so difficult about an alternate timeline? In less than three minutes, everyone accepted it.
Next, everyone started helping to look for weapons.
The captain remembered, "Didn't Xinci say before that she wanted something with good performance, lightweight, and with low recoil?"
"I still have a brand new QBZ. I'll go back and get it now."
"Base Commander, don't forget, the more bullets the better."
"Don't worry, all of them will be yours."
"Thank you, Base Commander."
The captain, along with a few of his teammates, stood up straight and saluted the Base Commander.
Seeing their serious expressions, the Base Commander was a little unaccustomed to it for a moment.
Captain: I've never seen anything like it. When we were being informal, you were always telling us to be serious. Now that we're finally being serious, you're not used to it.
Do you want us to be serious or not serious!
Is it random?
In her space, Fu Xinci received the weapons and ammunition and felt a wave of dizziness.
Haha, there were even handguns, electric batons, and grenades…
Haha, if only she could meet those Japanese pirates, she would surely send them back without returning.
Alas, when would she be able to grow up? She wanted to go to their doorstep and eliminate those beasts.
With a touch of regret, after Fu Xinci had tidied up her things, a note was passed from the other side. It was from the captain, asking Yang Xinjie to inquire if she needed anything else, and they would help her find it.
Seeing the note, she suddenly remembered the large saber she was supposed to get for Uncle Qi.
She quickly drew the outline of the saber Uncle Qi used, and also marked the dimensions and approximate weight of the saber.
She also wrote down the precautions for strengthening it with Xu Jiacan's or Uncle Xu's metal ability, and then traded it to the other side.
Xu Jiacan looked at the simple drawing Fu Xinci made and chuckled, "We have ready-made polearms like this. My dad and Uncle Sun just made one the other day for fun. I'll go back and get it for Xinci now. Tell Xinci to wait for me for a while."
After Xu Jiacan finished speaking, he sprinted a hundred meters towards the outside of the trading hall.
Yang Xinjie also immediately sent a message to Xinci, asking her to wait a moment, as Xu Jiacan was going to get the saber for her.
In the dormitory area of the Longcheng official headquarters, in the courtyard where the Longteng team lived, Uncle Sun and Uncle Xu were not asleep. They were chatting and waiting for the children to return.
As they were talking animatedly, they heard the sound of the door opening outside.
"Dad, Uncle Sun."
"Jiacan is back. Huh, why are you the only one back? Where's the captain and the others?"
"Dad, the captain and the others are still at the trading hall. I'm back to get the polearm you forged the other day."
Seeing that his father and Uncle Sun were both there, Xu Jiacan got straight to the point with them.
"What do you want the saber for?"
Xu Jiacan simply explained to his father and Uncle Sun that Xinci was from an ancient era of cold weapons, and the current situation they were facing.
Uncle Sun listened, exchanged a look with Old Xu, and then said to Xu Jiacan with a grave expression, "Jiacan, this polearm was not forged perfectly. Your dad and I are not very satisfied with it. But Xinci needs it urgently, so take it to her for now. Tell Xinci that we will definitely forge a better long saber for her as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll tell Xinci." Xu Jiacan picked up the saber and was about to run, but was stopped by his own father. "Dad?"
"Jiacan, ask Xinci if we can also go over and kill those sons of bitches together, so they never have a chance to set foot on our Chinese land again."
"Yes, ask Xinci." Uncle Sun felt the same way, a certain knot in his heart could never be untied.
"I will ask Xinci." Xu Jiacan shared their thoughts. He had long been unable to suppress the surging emotions within him, wishing he could drill through the vending machine.
Tonight, many people were destined to be sleepless.
Fu Xinci was the first. Looking at the brand new QBZ in front of her, and the large amount of weapons and ammunition, the corners of her mouth kept turning upwards.
The only dissatisfaction was her small stature. If only she could grow taller, just a little taller.
And that polearm, her small frame couldn't lift it.
But it didn't stop her from being happy. She wondered what Uncle Qi's reaction would be if he saw this saber.
And, Uncle Sun and Uncle Xu were very humble, saying that they were not satisfied with this saber yet, and that she should use it for now, and they would quickly make a better long saber for her.
Thinking about everyone's beautiful misunderstanding, she had wanted to clarify. But her teammates didn't give her a chance at all. Alas! With her small stature, she could barely carry a saber, let alone dream of it.
No matter, it was getting late, and she should rest.
But what about this QBZ that she couldn't bear to part with? She didn't want to leave it for a moment.
The result of sleeping with the QBZ all night was that she woke up the next day with pain all over her body.
Fu Xinci slowly got up, gritted her teeth, and stretched her limbs, feeling like she had come back to life.
After eating breakfast as usual, everyone went about their own business.
Seeing everyone go out to do their own things, Fu Xinci quietly followed behind her grandfather.
"Ci'er, is there something?"
"Mm." Fu Xinci nodded, then leaned closer to her grandfather's ear and told him about the saber.
"Ci'er, did you really find a weapon that Uncle Qi can use?"
"Mm, Grandfather, do you want to see it?"
"I want to see it." The old man was in high spirits now, even more excited than when he had gotten that stainless steel stick.
After all, this was for nephew Qi to use on the battlefield, so it couldn't be taken lightly.
The grandfather and granddaughter, as if nothing had happened, returned to the east room where the old man lived. The old man was still sitting on the edge of the heated brick bed, looking out the window through the glass, then gestured to his granddaughter, indicating that she could take it out now.
The weight of the polearm was definitely a problem for Fu Xinci's current small frame.
Fortunately, it was moved from her space.
When a shining saber appeared on the bluestone floor in the center of the room, Grandpa Meng seemed to forget everything, excitedly slapped his thigh and shouted.
"Good, good stuff."
Qi He was practicing with Yu'er in the courtyard, and when he heard Grandpa Meng's voice, he grabbed his stick and ran towards the east room of the main house.
