“Yes, I know,” Lu Fan replied slowly.

Upon seeing the guns, Li Yu felt a surge of joy; he finally had the chance to obtain one.

Although it's a bit late to start upgrading now, it's not too late yet, and there should still be time.

"Give me two guns," Li Yu said, his eyes gleaming.

"Of course you can, but do you know how to use a gun?" Lu Fan asked with a puzzled look and a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"I know a little bit," Li Yu replied simply.

Lu Fan said with some regret, "Even if you are proficient in firearms, I'm afraid it won't be long before you can use it."

"What do you mean?" Li Yu frowned slightly, not quite understanding the meaning behind Lu Fan's words.

Seeing this, Lu Fan took the initiative to explain, "If you continue westward, you will not be allowed to carry guns when passing through the Central Plains defense line."

"What kind of bizarre rule is this?" Li Yu was utterly baffled.

"Does that mean that all those armed people in the safe zone who cross the defense line are left unarmed and waiting to die if they encounter any monsters?"

After all, for those in the safe zone, without guns, how much stronger are they than the refugees?

"Although the regulations are bizarre, that's how they are implemented."

Wang Tianzhao suddenly interrupted, adding with an unusually serious expression:

"Once you successfully cross that defense line, it means you've entered Zhongzhou, and your safety will be the responsibility of Zhongzhou."

"If you carry a gun without permission within the Central State area, you are violating the laws of the Central State and will be severely punished by the Central State Order Guard."

Wang Tianzhao paused briefly before recounting everything he knew.

"As far as I know, once someone is found to be carrying firearms without authorization, they will be imprisoned for at least three years."

"Is it that serious?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

“This is just carrying a firearm. If you use a gun to injure someone, you will be arrested by the Central State Guard and sentenced to death.” A faint smile appeared on Wang Tianzhao’s face.

Hearing this, Li Yu looked down at his bow and arrows and quickly asked:

"Can we bring that bow?"

"There aren't any special requirements for other weapons, but firearms are absolutely not allowed to be brought in," Wang Tianzhao said definitively.

"So, will everyone who enters the defensive line really strictly abide by the law?" Li Yu asked curiously.

“Zhongzhou is vast, and its strength far exceeds your imagination.” Wang Tianzhao didn’t explain further; he needed to see it for himself before he would believe it.

Wang Tianzhao's trip was also to see the outside world with his own eyes and to see if Zhongzhou was as he knew it.

Li Yu stepped forward and picked up a rifle.

[New weapon detected, switch to new weapon?]

Different weapon types cannot retain their levels and proficiency.

"No." Li Yu did not switch.

Therefore, switching from bows to firearms as the primary weapon is clearly not a worthwhile investment.

Not only will your LV16 level be instantly reset to zero, but you might also have your weapons confiscated when you pass through the defenses.

However, for Li Yu, the lethality of his bow and arrows far surpasses that of firearms, so even if he didn't switch to a gun, it wouldn't have a significant impact on his strength.

But Li Yu still carried two rifles and some bullets, just in case.

Looking around at the weapons, besides a row of identical rifles, there were only daggers and iron bars.

Upon seeing the dagger, Li Yu suddenly realized something and turned to Lu Fan, asking:

"Do you have a handgun? Just give me one."

Lu Fan gave Li Yu a serious look.

He could clearly sense that Li Yu posed almost no threat without his bow and arrow, but there was really no need for him to be so fully armed.

"Give it to him." Lu Fan slightly raised his chin, gesturing to the adjutant beside him.

The adjutant next to him took out the pistol from his waist and reluctantly handed it to Li Yu.

“Glock 18, be careful when using it,” the adjutant reminded him.

"Thank you." Li Yu took the pistol and immediately equipped it.

[Small Equipment Slots]

[Equipment Successfully]

Glock 18 Pistol LV1: Can fire in full-auto or single-shot mode; the rate of fire is so high that it runs out of ammo very quickly.

[Effective range 50 meters, initial velocity +10, kinetic energy +10]

"Just as I guessed, pistols can also be used in the small equipment slot." Li Yu discovered that the small equipment slot seemed to only limit the size.

He also has two small equipment slots.

Li Yu went straight to the shelf, picked up a dagger, and tried it out.

[Equipment Successfully]

[Military Dagger LV1: Special combat knife, exceptionally sharp, used for close combat and melee attacks]

Sharpness +10, Hardness +10, Attack Speed ​​+10

Li Yu pulled the dagger from its sheath, and it gleamed with a cold light, proving to be incredibly sharp.

Then Li Yu picked up another dagger.

[Equipment Successfully]

Military Dagger LV1: Sharpness +10, Hardness +10, Attack Speed ​​+10

They also succeeded by equipping themselves with two daggers.

Li Yu held a dagger in one hand and tried to swing it forcefully.

"Swish, swish!"

The two daggers in his hands flashed quickly, the movements of his hands perfectly coordinated.

Li Yu hadn't even upgraded his skills, yet he was already proficient at slashing and thrusting.

As an archer skilled in ranged attacks, he seemed born to wield dual swords.

Lu Fan and the others were all stunned when they saw Li Yu's skills. They never expected that Li Yu's dagger technique was so good.

Li Yu put away all the weapons and turned to Lu Fan, saying:

"Okay, I'm ready."

Looking at Li Yu's clothes, which were almost impossible to remove, Lu Fan pursed his lips and said:

"Okay, I also need to make some preparations. I'll come find you before I leave."

"Okay." Li Yu carried her bags and walked outside.

Watching Li Yu leave, Lu Fan turned to Wang Tianzhao again and asked:

"Have you thought it through? How about we go to Yan City for some fun?"

"Haha, you want to drag me into this? That's the Eternal Flame Alliance," Wang Tianzhao reminded him with a laugh.

Although Wang Tianzhao said this, he seemed very relaxed and had no fear of the Eternal Fire Alliance.

"So what?" Lu Fan replied casually, equally unconcerned.

"I'm afraid of trouble." Although Wang Tianzhao was not afraid, he obviously did not want to have a conflict with the Eternal Fire Alliance, and he did not want to get involved in this mess.

"Then please make yourself at home, please." Lu Fan gestured as if to see the guest out.

"Okay." Wang Tianzhao still had a smile on his face, seemingly unconcerned about Lu Fan's attitude, and turned to leave gracefully.

Lu Fan watched Wang Tianzhao leave, feeling a pang of regret.

If it were two super-powered individuals, plus Li Yu, he wouldn't just be going to Yan City to rescue people.
