Ark Undead

After all, she had finally achieved a comfortable life, and she didn't want to go back to her old ways.

When Ansuo arrived at the Guard Bureau, it was exactly 12 o'clock.

Just then, as An Suo arrived at the entrance of the Guard Bureau, two groups of people left the Guard Bureau.

An Suo was somewhat surprised; these people weren't wearing police uniforms. But judging from their well-trained appearance, they resembled a military unit. Could it be that the Guard Bureau was also secretly training other teams?

"An Suo? Have you arrived? If you have, come over here, over here."

An Suo turned her head back and immediately heard Chen calling her from the other side, beckoning her to come over.

An Suo, with an obedient demeanor, quickly hurried to Chen's side.

"I've been waiting for you. Once you arrive, I can quickly finish what I need to say and get ready to leave."

Chen glanced down at his wristwatch, then raised his hand and pulled An Suo into his office.

Unsure of what was going to happen, An Suo could only follow Chen into her office.

After An Suo came in, Chen closed the door, went to his desk, and took out a form from the drawer.

“Some bad things have happened in the slums recently. You’ve been living in the slums for a while, so you should have noticed it to some extent. The number of infected people has surged, and the Rat King’s side is making more and more noise.”

As Chen spoke, he handed the form to An Suo.

"Go to these places for me and see if there's anything hidden there. Or think back to the last two times you helped me, did you find any documents hidden there? If so, bring them back with you. I need them."

Clearly, this wasn't the first time Chen had asked An Suo to do something for her.

Of course, every act of help comes with a reward, which will reach An Suo in different ways, and all of these rewards are things that An Suo needs.

"Do they all have to run?"

An Suo was stunned when she saw what was on the form; she instinctively felt that it was probably impossible.

"I'm not saying all of them, but just try your best to run. If you really can't make it, then forget it."

Chen reached out and touched An Suo's head, treating her like her younger sister.

"However, I need you to be back at the Guard Bureau by 5 o'clock today. You can find as much as you want, as long as you can bring it back. Even if there's nothing there, you still have to come back and tell me."

"Is that so... Okay!"

An Suo nodded, she roughly knew what Chen might do.

Add to that those people who just went out and whom I have absolutely no recollection of, could it be that the Guard Bureau is planning to take action against the slums?

Not daring to think about what she was thinking, An Su shook her head and decided to just do the things Chen had given her.

"Okay, don't feel pressured. The main thing is that I really can't find anyone else who can help me with this. That's why I came to you."

Seeing An Suo's appearance, Chen knew that although the guy was young, he was much more mature than he looked.

She knew why Chen was looking for her, and she also knew that the reason she had gone to these locations for Chen so many times was to help Chen collect information on her informants.

In a sense, An Suo himself was Chen's informant.

"Understood, Inspector Chen!"

An Suo raised her head, smiled subtly, and pretended not to know what Chen was doing.

This is not only a tacit understanding between the two, but also a way for Chen to protect her.

"Then I'm going! Wait for my good news!"

An Suo stuffed the forms into his pocket, turned around, and pushed open the door to Chen's office.

Unbeknownst to An Suo, the form in her hand was not the only one.

The entire Lungmen Guard Bureau mobilized almost all of its informants to begin a thorough investigation of the entire slum.

Yes, the search warrant will be issued in an hour. But nobody cares about people who aren't part of the Guard entering and leaving the slums.

The Rat King was naturally well aware of this situation. He had known Wei Yanwu for many years and wouldn't stoop to meddling in such petty tricks. As long as the actions of the Guard Bureau didn't threaten the agreement between the two sides, he would turn a blind eye.

However, the Reunion Movement was not within the scope of his turning a blind eye.

Although the Rat King and Wei Yanwu often clashed, their core objective never changed.

Everything is for the peace and stability of Lungmen. Even now, the Rat King still restrains the infected people in the slums under his command, and Wei Yanwu is also providing them with as much convenience as possible.

It remains to be seen whether this incident will change public opinion.

The main force of Rhodes Island has almost left the ship, but some operators guarding Rhodes Island remain on the island.

At the same time, it is also to receive the humanitarian rescue force coming from Chernobog.

Vulcan has not yet joined the fight; she remains in her workshop, hammering away at the weapons before her.

It's not that she lacks combat ability, but rather that in the current situation, Vulcan needs to personally repair the equipment of some operators, such as Ace's shield and Blaze's chainsaw.

These items are quite detailed and are customized.

If something were to happen to Vulcan, there would be no one to handle the equipment repairs. Therefore, Vulcan joined Rhodes Island from the very beginning as a logistics operator.

Even her own small shop doesn't require her to pay any rent, which can be considered a convenience given to her by Kal'tsit.

Vulcan's forging skills were undoubtedly superb. But even so, Vulcan still stumped her when faced with a problem.

A couple of days ago, Vulcan received an order to forge a giant sword.

Logically speaking, if Vulcan saw something like this under normal circumstances, he wouldn't even want to bother with it.

It's just a big iron block. If something like that can be called a sword, I wonder what kind of guy could even swing it.

But in fact, someone was indeed able to swing it. And that person was sitting on the sofa next to her shop at the time.

However, that's not the point. The point is that the guest wants Vulcan to break the greatsword down into two sets of materials, one set to make a straight sword, and the other set to make a greatsword.

The customer didn't say much about his request for the greatsword, only uttering two words.

"It works well."

This kind of requirement is what gives Vulcan the biggest headache. After all, between having requirements and doing whatever you want, doing whatever you want is definitely more difficult.

The guest also gave Vulcan the right to choose this option.

However, since the guest had put it that way, Vulcan accepted, given the guy's considerable reputation. Moreover, Vulcan was very interested in the materials of the greatsword before him.

According to the guest, when he received the giant sword, it weighed about the same as it does now, but was much larger.

Vulcan sensed something was amiss, because a sword made of steel that could normally be used for striking must have been forged to an extremely strong and tough degree.

In other words, the density of this material has already been compressed to almost zero by the blacksmith. If it were to be compressed further, it would have to comply with the law of conservation of matter. Given the same weight, the volume cannot be artificially reduced to an absurd degree.

But in fact, when Vulcan actually started cutting the material, she realized that she seemed to have overlooked something crucial.

The god of fire placed this thing on the flames for a whole day, but the sword showed no signs of warming up or softening. In fact, when it was taken off the flames, the steel was still ice-cold to the touch.

When Vulcan intended to use a saw to cut it down directly, she had to dull the saw head three times before she could barely make a mark on the greatsword.

This material is definitely not the kind of greatsword forged by an ordinary blacksmith. Or rather, how much pressure did this greatsword withstand in battle to reach such a sturdy state?

When the Vulcan seemed unable to do anything about his greatsword, the undead standing to the side came to the Vulcan's forge.

He reached out and sent a ball of flame inside.

Before the God of Fire could stop the Undead, he saw the flames in the furnace gradually change from their original crimson color to a clear golden yellow.

The cratered surface of the greatsword gradually softened after a short while, heated up, and reddish marks seeped out.

"Consider this my payment to you. From now on, you can raise the temperature of this furnace even higher."

The Undead didn't say anything; he wasn't worried that the Fire God would use the First Flame for some strange things.

After all, even Vulcan couldn't do anything about it.

After standing there stunned for a while, Vulcan finally realized that he could start dividing the material into pieces.

So she hurriedly took the greatsword out of the forge. Based on the blueprints provided by the Undead, Vulcan roughly estimated the weight and size of the two weapons, and then used tools to split the greatsword into two pieces.

One piece is one-quarter the original size, and the other is three-quarters the original size.

Vulcan did not rush to forge the straight sword, but planned to forge the greatsword for the undead first.

The Undead don't have high requirements for greatswords. But since he said it was useful, Vulcan would have to find a way to use his best skills.

First, the blade must be sharpened. Vulcan knows that the Undead were once active as war knights in Kazimierz. Therefore, he must be very familiar with the use of swords and shields, and not only know how to use greatswords, but also such greatswords.

After sharpness, the next thing to consider is the weapon's sturdiness.

The steel provided by the Undead is so tough that even Vulcan himself couldn't measure it, so there's absolutely no need to worry about it being damaged during normal use.

Regarding the design of the greatsword, after Vulcan inquired with the Undead, the Undead remained silent for a long time before drawing a sketch and handing it to Vulcan.

After Vulcan read it, he unexpectedly spoke to the Undead.

"I didn't expect the weapon you wanted to be so simple?"

“There was a knight who also used this kind of greatsword. If the user is extraordinary, then the greatsword will also be extraordinary.”

Vulcan nodded, then lowered his head, picked up the hammer, and began forging.

A longsword made entirely of steel requires exceptional skill from its forger to wield comfortably.

Fortunately, Vulcan's skills have become excellent through long-term practice.

After a full day of forging, the greatsword finally took on a rough shape.

Subsequently, after obtaining permission from the Undead, Vulcan officially began forging the blade in the image of this greatsword.

Unlike ordinary greatswords, this greatsword has an extremely long hilt, as if it were not just a single-wield greatsword, but also suitable for many of the moves that one would expect from a dual-wield greatsword.

The end of the hilt is sharpened to a point. Even in close combat, if the user is skilled enough, close-quarters fighting can become an advantage.

The guard curves forward, and about five centimeters in front of the guard, two arcs bulge outwards on either side. This design minimizes the risk of hand injury during weapon clashes.

As for the blade, it is the simplest combination of being narrow at the front and wide at the back. The closer you get to the blade, the narrower it becomes, until it slightly closes at the blade tip.

Just a few hours after Kal'tsit and the others left Rhodes Island, Vulcan took the sword off the grinder and carefully wiped it with sword oil.

As the sword oil gently brushed across the blade, the smooth surface, along with flame-like patterns forged along with the steel, appeared before the two.

"This is a fine sword. It is the best weapon I have ever forged."

Vulcan has been working for two days and two nights without rest. For her, the best way to forge a weapon is to respect it and forge it in one go.

"The materials are good, that's right. Congratulations, Mr. Undying."
