Delicate Woman Gatling

A Gatling gun named Guanyin. Just looking at its attributes, Xu Jiang discovered a major secret.

Judging by their voices and personalities, the Desert Eagle, grenade, and cigarette were all male, referring to themselves as Little Deagle, Little Thunder, and Little Smoke.

While the mecha, stun baton, and Gatling gun were female, calling themselves Qianji, Sparkles, and Guanyin.

Why was that?

Why did the female names sound more sophisticated? And why did all the male names start with "Little"? It was truly strange.

Unable to figure it out, Xu Jiang set aside the naming issue and focused on the attributes.

[M134 Gatling Gun (Major General)]

[Quality]: Purple

[Dimensions]: 6 barrels, gun body length 800 mm, barrel length 559 mm, weight 15kg

[Rate of Fire]: 6000 rounds/min

[Skills]: Frugal Housekeeping lv1, Delicate Woman

[Frugal Housekeeping lv1: Guanyin is thrifty. When firing, it does not consume bullets but instead uses energy from its power core to fire 7.62 mm bullets.]

[Delicate Woman: Guanyin is gentle and a weak woman. Under normal circumstances, it will not attack.]

In summary, Guanyin had the words "something's not right" written directly on its barrel.

Firstly, its purple quality was the highest among all of Xu Jiang's equipment. Its Major General rank also guaranteed a promising future.

Furthermore, its ability to fire without consuming bullets made it incredibly powerful.

But was the [Delicate Woman] skill definitely not a mistake? A weak woman hiding behind the appearance of a Gatling gun?

"General, this humble woman is truly fragile. My usual hobbies are housework. Please, General, don't force me onto the battlefield."

The voice did sound somewhat delicate, and an image of a classical woman, with a veil partially obscuring her face, appeared on the gun's shield. She looked beautiful and pitiable.

Xu Jiang glanced at the Desert Eagle's short and seemingly weak barrel, then at the six-barreled, chilling Gatling gun.

And you claim to be a weak woman? Where exactly are you delicate!

How about we try it? It's quite fun on the battlefield.

Xu Jiang coaxed it in his mind, attempting to pull the trigger towards an empty space.

"No, General, I can't."

Guanyin, just do it for me.

"No, don't do that to me again~~"

Xu Jiang fiddled with the Gatling gun for a long time, until sweat beaded on his forehead, but he still couldn't succeed.

It doesn't attack under normal circumstances, but what constitutes abnormal circumstances? This was the biggest challenge in figuring out how to operate this heavy weapon.

There was no other choice but to carry the Gatling gun on his back and set it aside for now.

The Gatling gun was very large, but fortunately, Qianji's performance allowed the weight from the equipment slot to be distributed throughout the body, so it didn't affect his movement.

Turning around, everyone, as expected, cast strange glances at him.

"It's nothing, I was just striking a pose. Alright, let's get going."

The guide quietly watched the persistence of Xu Jiang and the other two, without forcing them. If others wanted to court death, could he stop them?

Lan Tie also found this question strange.

After walking a couple of steps, he couldn't help but ask, "Xu Jiang, are you really going to charge with me? It would be safer to stay here."

"Safe? This is a void, there's no such thing as safety." Xu Jiang glanced back; the others had already started setting up defenses.

"We've been in here for about a day, right?"

"More than that, 30 hours."

"But where's the rescue? It still hasn't arrived. It's better to rely on ourselves than to place our hopes on others."

As he spoke, Xu Jiang looked at the monsters on the bridge and continued, "My only enemies now are these monsters. But if I stay, my enemies could also be my companions."

You can never tell what people are thinking. He didn't even know their names, how could he trust them with his back?

What if, in the heat of battle, someone behind him suddenly transformed? Who could handle that?

"Let's charge. We should be able to handle the monsters on this bridge. If we really can't win, I still have self-preservation escape skills."

Saying that, Xu Jiang looked at Pace again, "By the way, what about you? Do you have the ability to protect yourself?"

"Of course," Pace replied, and his color faded.

He changed from his original sky blue to a grayish-blue, a very, very gray shade.

Xu Jiang: ...

Are all races this bizarre with their talents?

His color darkened, making him less conspicuous and less likely to attract monster aggro.

If you have time for these unorthodox tricks, why not learn more about combat?

Xu Jiang nodded to Lan Tie, signaling that he could charge.

Lan Tie no longer hesitated. He swung his large iron pillar and roared at the enemies on the bridge, "The time for a decisive battle has come. Kill me!"

His heroic stance instantly enraged the monsters on the bridge.

The fastest of them, a rabid dog, lunged forward. However, before its fangs could even bare, it was sent flying by Lan Tie's totem.

Following close behind were the 'Lost Souls,' who had completely lost their human form and used their tentacles as limbs.

They were likely humans in their past lives, still wearing some tattered cloth. Although slow, there were over 40 of them. Their combined assault posed a significant threat to Lan Tie.

Amidst the monster horde, there was one particularly unusual monster.

From its silhouette, one could barely make out a humanoid shape, but its body was entirely composed of blackness, like a shadow, blending seamlessly with the surrounding night. Only a terrifyingly large red mouth remained visible.

The mouth split into a grin, and the body suddenly contorted, transforming into a thin line as it accelerated forward. It condensed two shadow daggers in its hands and rapidly stabbed towards Lan Tie.

Splat~

Lan Tie, whose combat style was broad and powerful, found it difficult to defend against such a swift assassination in the chaotic melee. The dagger pierced his armor, leaving a rather deep wound.

Seeing his armor stained with blood, Lan Tie smiled.

Finally, he encountered a formidable monster. At its speed, he certainly wouldn't be able to keep up. If he were careless and got his throat slit...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three explosions erupted on the shadow monster, staggering it.

Before it could regain its footing, a tremendous force slammed into it, and a human foot pinned it to the ground.

"Roar!!" The shadow struggled furiously.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

It was made of shadow! Its body could change forms at will, so how could it be locked down by a single foot, pinned to the ground and unable to move?

The one who acted was naturally Xu Jiang. It wasn't just the shadow that was surprised; Xu Jiang himself was too.

The thing was too dark, and its body kept twisting and shaking.

Xu Jiang had fired three shots just now, all relying on [Telekinetic Bullet] for correction. None of them hit the head, and he couldn't kill it.

What should I do?

Little Deagle sighed mournfully, "I'm too useless. I couldn't even lock onto its head."

As his superior, Qianji quickly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged. Since it's hard to aim, let's shoot at close range. We'll press the gun directly against its head and fire. That way, we'll hit it."

What a simple and effective plan. Thus, Qianji had an epiphany.

[Congratulations, Admiral Qianji has learned the skill Trample Shot. This skill is a special action and cannot be upgraded.]

[Trample Shot: Pin a disoriented enemy underfoot and shoot at close range for 5 seconds.]

The simpler the skill, the more domineering it was.

If it can be trampled, it will be trampled. No matter what it is, as long as it loses its balance, you can perform [Trample Shot].

Xu Jiang rushed forward and stomped on the shadow. His recently strengthened knee seemed to transform into the Great Ming Mantra on the Five Finger Mountain, shimmering with light and suppressing the shadow firmly.

The dark muzzle could now be aimed.

Bang!

One shot, hitting the head without any suspense. The power of the Explosive Shot instantly turned the shadow into scattered dust.

Meeting Lan Tie's resentful gaze, Xu Jiang explained, "This thing is too weak. Old Tie, you should find a stronger opponent to die against."

After resolving the trouble, Xu Jiang retreated again, letting the monsters swarm Lan Tie while he finished them off.

The power of the Explosive Shot now acted as area-of-effect damage. A single magazine could kill a large group, and the results were indeed remarkable.

It seemed the monsters on this bridge were nothing special. They passed through easily, without much pressure.

But just then, something unexpected happened.

It didn't happen to him, but to the temporary squad behind him.

"What are you doing!" a furious roar came.

Turning towards the encampment, Xu Jiang saw the guide clutching his chest and falling in pain in the firelight.

And the woman who had once begged them to stay was now standing in front of the guide, a blood-stained dagger in her hand, a terrifying grin on her face.
