Community Traversal: I Have a Daily Rescue Kit

45: Enchant Gatling Gun

Su Chen picked up the enchantment stone and squeezed it hard against the Gatling gun that was radiating a chilling light.

The stone shattered with a "crack," turning into a fine, shimmering stardust that drifted down onto the dark gun barrel. The stardust seemed to come alive, quickly seeping into the metal, causing flowing blue patterns to appear on the surface of the gun.

A semi-transparent panel then popped up:

[Enchanting successful!]

[You have obtained a Tier 1 Demon Hunter Weapon: Gatling Gun!]

[Damage +50!]

[Characteristics: Fire elemental damage, anti-magic effect. Increases final damage dealt to monsters by 50%!]

[Evaluation: Although rated as Grade One, its unique design concept and modern forging techniques give it a combined destructive power comparable to some Grade Two weapons!]

"Haha! It worked!" Su Chen grinned from ear to ear upon seeing the evaluation. "I never thought modern firearms could be successfully enchanted! This opens up a new perspective; from now on, I'll prioritize enchanting these kinds of high-powered weapons when I find good items!"

He excitedly looked at the brand-new Gatling gun.

The gun, which was originally matte black, now faintly glows with a deep blue light. When held in the hand, it feels a strange warmth, similar to the feeling when I came into contact with the magical items in the hunter's hut.

"It's a pity there are too few bullets, and no suitable place to test the gun..." Su Chen touched the cold ammunition belt, feeling a mix of itch and regret. "Otherwise, I really wanted to try out the effects of 'Anti-Magic' and 'Fire Damage'; it would be so much more exciting to fight with!"

"If only I could enchant it to have unlimited bullets..." he sighed.

In this world, replenishing ammunition for modern weapons is extremely difficult; aside from relying on rescue kits, there are virtually no other options.

However, he quickly thought of the cards.

"Yeah, if we could get building cards like 'Ammunition Factory' and 'Armory,' wouldn't that mean we'd have an endless supply?"

My thoughts shifted, and I returned to reality.

"Dream on. The most important thing right now is tomorrow... no, it's 24 hours from now." Su Chen's expression turned serious. "The monster siege is just around the corner. We must make good use of this last bit of safe time and make full preparations."

Recalling the various monsters he had encountered, Su Chen shook his head.

The most troublesome thing about these things is not their thick skin and tough flesh, but the "blood and flesh curse" that they generally carry.

Once a human is injured or infected, it is almost certainly a death sentence.

The strange changes that Wenfei and the other two underwent were probably caused by different types of curses.

He looked around at his home, which was already taking shape: the greenhouses were for growing staple foods, the chicken coops were for raising meat, and the wells were for drinking water.

The only thing missing to form a complete, self-sufficient micro-ecosystem is a stable energy source.

Once the power generation is secured and the household appliances are running, the initial internal circulation system can be considered established.

Even if the community's walls lose their protective function, he will have the confidence to hold on with his own "fortress."

"With a major battle imminent, we should stockpile more resources and make multiple preparations," Su Chen thought to himself.

……

Bang bang bang.

Su Chen was busy planting the last potato in the greenhouse when he heard a clear knock on the door. He had just brushed the dirt off his hands.

Who is it at this hour? He glanced at the time; it was one in the morning.

He washed his hands, walked silently to the back of the door, and peered through the peephole.

A woman stood outside the door, still possessing a certain charm, appearing to be in her early thirties. Her face was meticulously made up, her eyebrows finely drawn, and her lips painted with light lipstick, giving her a pure and delicate appearance. She wore a slightly thin white dress, biting her lower lip tightly, her eyes fixed on the door, filled with helplessness and pleading.

is her.

Su Chen remembered; it was the young woman who had come begging for food when he returned from his first exploration.

However, this time, she was clearly dressed up carefully.

Su Chen felt a sense of unease.

In the middle of the night, a beautiful woman dressed in a pitiful manner knocks on the door... This plot has a bit of an island nation feel to it.

"Waaaaah..."

Seeing that there was no response after knocking for so long, the woman outside the door began to sob softly, her shoulders trembling slightly, making her look even more pitiful.

Su Chen watched her cry, but instead of feeling any pity or guilt, he felt even more curious and wary of her actions.

He held his breath, remained motionless, and pretended that no one was in the room.

The woman sobbed and pleaded softly through the crack in the door, "Sir, please open the door and help us... We're really out of food. My daughter is so hungry she can't even stand up... I know you brought back a lot of food today. Please, have mercy and share some with us... I'll do anything you ask for help..."

The young woman's voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of crying, which particularly evoked a protective instinct in people.

As he listened to the continuous pleas and cries, Su Chen's eyes gradually turned cold.

This wasn't the first time this woman had come to his door precisely at the exact moment he returned from his exploration.

Judging from the tone of her words, it seems she was well aware that she had brought back supplies?

It seems she is not as simple as she appears; at least she is very observant.

Su Chen remained calm and composed, his mind as solid as a rock, and he wasn't driven by lust at all.

This is because his Witcher bloodline has enhanced his control over his emotions.

The woman cried outside the door for a long time, then knocked intermittently for another ten minutes. Seeing that no one answered, she finally left dejectedly, looking back every few steps.

Su Chen didn't relax until he heard the footsteps completely disappear in the stairwell.

After a quick wash, he fell into a deep sleep to recharge.

……

……

When Su Chen woke up the next day, he decided not to go out and explore.

On the last safe day, he needed to conserve his energy so that he could be in top condition for tomorrow's monster siege.

He planned to walk around the neighborhood, observe the terrain, and see which positions were more suitable for defense.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Lin Yu always carrying binoculars and observing around.

"So she started preparing for the battlefield so early. No wonder she's a 'survivor,' she's very experienced," Su Chen thought to himself.

He hadn't gone far downstairs when a noisy argument caught his attention. The sound was coming from the central landscaped area, where the original ornamental pond had been converted into a fishpond.

Su Chen approached and saw that the fishpond was complete and filled with water. To his surprise, dozens of palm-sized tilapia were swimming happily in the clear water!

"Tilapia?" Su Chen wondered. "The original pond only had ornamental fish like koi and goldfish. Where did these edible fish come from?"

He approached the crowd of onlookers discreetly.

Zhang Jianguo, a member of the temporary management team, was standing on a small makeshift platform, holding a megaphone and with a red banner hanging beside him.

Speaking loudly through the loudspeaker, Zhang Jianguo announced, "Dear neighbors! Hello everyone! I am Zhang Jianguo from the temporary management team! Now, I officially announce that the first phase of the 'Self-Rescue Fishpond' project in our Xingfu Community has been successfully completed! Let's give them a round of applause!"

The onlookers burst into enthusiastic applause, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Digging a fishpond alone is not something to be so happy about. Su Chen stood quietly at the end of the crowd, his gaze fixed on the swimming tilapia—it seemed that they had indeed solved one of the most troublesome food source problems.

Sure enough, Zhang Jianguo then announced: "With everyone here as witnesses, this batch of precious tilapia fry has officially been released into the water! From today onwards, the fishpond will be managed and collectively raised by our temporary team!"

He paused, his expression suddenly turning serious, and his tone becoming stern: "However! Let me make this clear from the start! The fish here belong to the collective property of all the residents of our community! Anyone found fishing without permission... well, don't blame our temporary management team for acting according to the rules, and we won't be lenient!"

"Team Leader Zhang is right! Anyone who dares to steal fish will be in big trouble if I catch them!" roared a burly man who had previously participated in digging the pond.

"That's right! Unified management and collective breeding! This is our hope for survival! Anyone who dares to have any crooked ideas, I, Li Wang, will be the first to make them pay!" This was the fisherman who was enthusiastic about cleaning up the fishpond.

Seeing the residents' impassioned and united anger, Zhang Jianguo nodded in satisfaction: "Good! Then, I'll leave the task of supervising the fishpond and maintaining order to you kind neighbors! Let's supervise each other and jointly protect this hope!"

"no problem!"

"That makeshift team is really capable; they actually managed to get some fish fry!"

"Now there's hope! That's great!"

Amid cheers, Su Chen quietly slipped away from the crowd.

He pondered, "There are quite a few tilapia; it doesn't seem like someone's stockpile. The source is very suspicious... The key is probably that property management computer that connects to the 'Community System.' The temporary team probably has access to some channels or functions through the system that others don't know about."

As he was pondering, a figure blocked his way and greeted him.

Su Chen looked up and saw that the person who had come was Lin Yu.

"Hmm? Su Chen,"

Lin Yu stared at his face, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone clearly showing surprise, "Your eyes... how did they turn gold?"
