I Can Meet with Dead Scientists

Chapter 456 - 225 Zhang: Settling Accounts Across Time and Space! (8.2K)_2

You need to know.

They are living in tents made of fabric...

Moreover, according to the camp’s arrangement, the tents and carriages are stationed in two separate areas, nearly a hundred meters apart!

Danger, danger!

Thinking of this.

Xu Yun pondered for a moment, then rummaged through his bag, pulling out the sword forged at Ke Da.

He then took out a Heart Protection Mirror — an item he had purchased from Taobao after learning that the dungeon’s timeline was the 15th century.

Actually, he originally bought a Gothic neck guard costing over 400 yuan, which could protect you from the chest up to the chin.

But before entering the dungeon, considering that firearms had already been invented at this point in time, and the armor being heavy and cumbersome, it probably wouldn’t be of much use.

So he detached the Heart Protection Mirror and brought it alone.

If he’d known he’d encounter such cold weapon conflicts, he might have brought the entire neck guard.

Subsequently, Xu Yun fixed the Heart Protection Mirror to his chest, tightened his coat, and dashed out of the carriage with his long sword.

"Help—"

Just as Xu Yun poked his head out, he saw a soldier with a Gothic military sword lunging at a merchant while screaming.

The Gothic military sword’s full name is actually the British Gothic-hilted infantry sword.

However, because this weapon has a curve and is single-edged, it was translated as a "saber" in the Chinese context.

Xu Yun’s mindset wasn’t indifferent enough to ignore a life in danger, so he hurriedly made a sidestep and rushed towards the person:

"Stop, Geng Sanwan is here!"

In the Northern Song dungeon, Xu Yun trained for over a year in the "Lai Fu Sword Technique," alongside someone like Wang Bing, a top-tier martial arts expert from the Northern Song as a sparring partner.

Although before leaving the dungeon, Wang Bing could still easily defeat him with one hand.

But Wang Bing also admitted that with Xu Yun’s skills, it wouldn’t be difficult to make a name for himself in the martial arts world.

After all, the "Lai Fu Sword Technique" is essentially a quick-learning method, and even in a place with poor material conditions like Qinfeng Road, it could cultivate numerous female heroes, let alone a well-resourced transmigrator like Xu Yun.

Perhaps due to the dim lighting.

Xu Yun’s sudden appearance slightly surprised the soldier, leaving him stunned for two seconds.

But soon after.

He charged even more violently at Xu Yun, delivering a heavy chop with his saber.

Xu Yun positioned one leg forward and the other back, slightly bent his steps, lowered his center of gravity, and assumed a defensive stance.

Then, spotting an opportunity, he casually swung his sword to the right with both hands.

The first move of the "Lai Fu Sword Technique," Qióng Lóu Pāo Xiù Qiú!

Clang—

Sparks flew, and the Gothic military sword broke instantly.

The soldier’s aggressive motion stalled as a result.

Before the opponent could react.

Xu Yun darted forward, delivering a fierce strike to his stomach with the sword hilt.

Then, as the opponent was clutching his belly in agony.

He used a technique learned from Wang Bing to dislocate the opponent’s arms and sever a tendon in his hand.

With the opponent incapacitated.

Xu Yun picked up the steel sword again and rushed towards the tent area.

After all, he came from the 21st century, and had some aversion to killing.

Moreover, the opponent wasn’t killing his compatriots, so he decided to leave judgment to the Scots.

After all, his tendon has been severed, and he won’t be able to use his right hand, only manage to lift lightweight objects.

Thus, even if he’s ransomed back by England, he won’t have any chance to perpetrate evil deeds on Huaxia Land.

Just like that.

Xu Yun relied on his weapon and the "Lai Fu Sword Technique" to evade and quickly reached the vicinity of the tent encampment.

Clang—

Xu Yun once again parried an attack, wiped away the mix of blood and sweat from his forehead, and called out loudly to his surroundings:

"Mr. Thomson, Will, are you still there?"

In the next second.

At least six places around him echoed with "I’m here."

Xu Yun: "..."

As it turns out.

In a life-and-death crisis, Cao Cao might pose as a passerby, and when reinforcements arrive, even bystanders might pose as Cao Cao.

He then sighed, stood up, and continued his search.

Also, worried about becoming a target for arrows and bolts, Xu Yun refrained from using his flashlight, relying only on the surrounding firelight to identify things.

Hence, his search efficiency was undoubtedly lower.

On the other hand.

This environment increased the likelihood of Thomson and William surviving — after all, a soccer-field-sized area at night could very well hide people.

Xu Yun continued searching as he walked.

A few minutes later.

The number of British soldiers he had defeated reached eight.

At the same time.

The sound of attacks came from a Scottish outpost not far away — clearly, the enemy had split into two groups this time.

This was not good news, as it meant reinforcements were unlikely to arrive soon.

While Xu Yun was frowning, analyzing the situation.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an area dozens of meters away.

At that moment.

There was a flashlight in that area, flickering on and off at a peculiar frequency.

That frequency seemed to be...

Morse code?

Since Morse code first appeared in 1837, it wouldn’t be too surprising for someone to know it by now.

Previously, on the road, Xu Yun had discussed Morse code with Thomson to prove his "value," so if Thomson remembered that...

Subsequently, Xu Yun hid to the side to observe for a while, discovering that the Morse code was being sent in three-segment waves.

The message was [－,····,－－－,－－].
