Chapter 102 Locust Swarm



Since there was only one handcart in the storage room, most of the items had to be moved by hand.

Under Han Mengyao's command, the group rolled up the collected bedding into luggage bags and secured them to their backs with ropes.

"I didn't expect Teacher Han to have this skill."

The assistant director quickly joined in the work after waking up. At this time, he was kneeling on a rolled-up quilt, trying to compress the volume of the quilt with his body weight.

Although Han Mengyao wasn't very strong, her hand speed was extremely fast. With Ji Qian's help, she quickly finished making two suitcases:

"I enjoy camping, and these are just basic skills, nothing to brag about."

[Help! Mengjie's words are so cool!]

I thought she said she liked camping just to create a persona, but it turns out it's true!

[Sister Meng is using a double-dragon style, so professional!]

[Hey, what is the "Double Dragon Style"?]

[This is a method used by the military to pack luggage; it's very practical.]

[Sweet face, mature heart—Meng Jie's contrast is off the charts!]

Since all they had in the storage room were daily necessities and filming props, the group quickly gathered what they needed and decided to leave for the weapons room.

As he was leaving, the assistant director looked at the storage room, which was in complete disarray, as if a typhoon had passed through, and suddenly felt extremely fortunate. Luckily, he had already stepped down from his post, otherwise he would have had to endure the prop master's wrath tomorrow.

The weapons room was right next to the storage room. Perhaps because of the special properties of the items stored there, the shadowy incident did not recur.

It was only at this moment that the assistant director noticed that Ji Qian had some kind of dark thing hanging around his waist, and for some reason, he instinctively felt a sense of resistance towards it.

Ji Qian, carrying a cardboard box she had taken from the storage room, began to quickly search the house as soon as she entered. Ying Xu followed behind her, responsible for picking up any stray items that accidentally fell through the net.

The two worked together seamlessly and emptied a shelf in no time.

"Qianqian, look at this!" Just as Ji Qian was immersed in the joy of sweeping away the trash, Han Mengyao's excited voice interrupted her.

Ji Qian looked up and saw that Han Mengyao had found a pistol somewhere. The silver gun body gleamed under the flashlight, like a gem in the dark night.

Right next to Han Mengyao, at least dozens of 'gems' were lying quietly on the shelf.

[I never realized Director Liu could be so skilled at torture!]

[Is the hot weapons segment I've been waiting for finally here?! (Rubbing hands excitedly.jpg)]

I never imagined I'd see such a grand spectacle on a Chinese variety show in my lifetime.

[Can someone please explain? Will Director Liu get invited for questioning?]

[Probably not, this is abroad after all]

No, this program was filmed in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and all the firearms were obtained through legal channels.

[Waaaaah, Director Liu, you've really made something of yourself! I'll never call you old again!]

Besides pistols, this arsenal also contains a series of Chinese weapons such as knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

Ji Qian picked up the Tang sword from the shelf, intending to swing it, when she heard a 'crack' sound. The Tang sword broke in the middle and fell straight to the ground.

Seeing this, Ji Qian subconsciously turned to look at the assistant director behind her. Noticing Ji Qian's scrutinizing gaze, the assistant director wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his brow and explained guiltily:

"These are all purchased from the local Chinatown, absolutely authentic, but their practicality may not be very good."

Therefore, in order to select the weapons that were lethal, Ji Qian had no choice but to try them one by one.

In the end, only agricultural tools such as rakes and shovels were selected.

"These were all purchased from local farmers, and the quality is excellent!"

The assistant director was quite proud of this, because if he hadn't suggested buying farm tools to make up the numbers, almost none of the cold weapons in the room would have been usable.

[The production team is so easily flattered; what kind of things did they prepare?!]

Are these weapons some kind of children's toys manufactured in Ukraine?

Don't talk nonsense, the quality of a certain brand is much better!

[You're quite proud that only farm tools work?]

[Assistant Director: What do you know? This is called being content with what you have!]

[Using farm tools to exorcise ghosts... I must say, it has a bit of that village ancestral worship ritual and shamanistic dance vibe.]

Although there weren't many available cold weapons, there were quite a few firearms.

Besides the pistol, Ji Qian also found five or six M16 rifles and more than a dozen hand grenades deep inside the shelf.

Upon seeing this, the assistant director quickly explained, "These grenades are prohibited from use inside the castle and cannot be activated except in emergencies!"

"Don't worry, we know what we're doing." Despite saying that, Ji Qian still put all the ammunition into the box with lightning speed.

To be honest, the production team prepared quite a lot of ammunition, enough to fill two whole boxes.

Ji Qian took the initiative to carry one of the boxes, while the other box was shared by the two strongest cameramen in the team.

Since each rifle weighs more than seven kilograms, Ji Qian simply carried three of them on his back.

In fact, if it weren't for the need to ensure freedom of movement, Ji Qian could have carried all six rifles by herself.

Ying Xu followed behind her, carrying the rakes and shovels he had collected in his arms, and three bags on his back.

He wasn't exactly a very strong person to begin with, and now his cheeks were flushed from the pressure, and he felt like he was about to run out of breath.

Han Mengyao walked at the front. As one of only two women in the group, she was given the privilege of being in charge of the handcart, but she didn't seem very happy about it.

"We should have brought our suitcases with us; that would have made things easier for everyone."
