In a strict sense, the scope of Arms is not very broad; it usually refers only to the various modern weapons and special equipment familiar to people in the military. However, in a broader sense, the types of Arms are astonishingly numerous, including all sorts of equipment used by special forces, agents, and spies.
This was something Ye Huan realized when he couldn't contain his curiosity and opened the ninth page of the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia while heading to Liangzhou City.
On that page, there was clearly an extremely obscure type of Arms, one that often appeared in people's eyes, with a name closely related to Arms itself...
Military Lighter!
Indeed, what was printed in Ye Huan's 2012 Arms Encyclopedia was an ordinary lighter—so ordinary that it couldn't be more so. What frustrated Ye Huan the most was that this lighter was labeled not in Chinese but in English: 'zippo'...
Alright, Ye Huan admitted that American Zippos were indeed quite famous, but he still preferred domestic products.
In front of Ye Huan, Weiyang and Zhang Ren had been staring at the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia for quite some time without understanding what it was. They looked at Ye Huan with questions in their eyes, wanting to hear his explanation.
In the distance, the little princess also noticed the confusion in Weiyang's eyes and stood before Ye Huan with Ivy.
Seeing these people from this world before him, Ye Huan knew that whatever he said would probably be incomprehensible to Weiyang and the others. So he simply placed one hand on the 2012 Arms Encyclopedia and summoned a black flip-top lighter into his hand.
With a casual flick of his wrist, the lighter's lid made a crisp sound that startled everyone who often heard gunfire when Ye Huan used firearms. They instinctively took a step back, which amused Ye Huan to no end. He then shook his arm to indicate that nothing had happened and ignited the lighter.
Whoosh...
Since it was his first time lighting it, a flame nearly ten centimeters high burst forth from the lighter, startling him as well. He quickly turned around and crouched down next to a pile of dry wood to ignite it, producing a warm flame accompanied by wisps of blue smoke.
At this moment, the little princess and Zhang Ren finally reacted. They approached Ye Huan and crouched beside the flame, curiously looking at what he held in his hand...
With the fire now lit, the grass hut became noticeably warmer. However, Weiyang still stood there foolishly, staring blankly at the flames.
"Hey, Fatty, what are you looking at? Hurry up and come over to warm yourself!" After putting away the lighter into his Summoning Book, Ye Huan sat down on the ground. When he noticed Weiyang still standing there, he placed his hands near the fire to warm them and called out to Weiyang.
With a shout from Ye Huan, Weiyang seemed to snap back to reality. Without a second thought, he took a couple of steps and reached Ye Huan's side, grabbing his hands that were still warming by the flames. He exclaimed loudly, "Ye Huan, no, my dear elder brother, from today on you are my big brother! Teach me how you can create fire without any fire element!"
"Uh, well..." Ye Huan forcefully pulled his hands away from Weiyang's grip. He really wanted to tell him that there was something called science in the world that could explain how to create something like Arms. However, he doubted that Weiyang would understand, so he could only change the subject, glancing around in search of a topic to divert the conversation.
Just as Ye Huan was scanning the area, a long line of flames caught his attention not far away. He couldn't help but murmur to himself and turned to Al, who had just moved closer to the fire pit. He asked, "Al, do many people start fires when it rains here?"
"Are you kidding? We can barely fill our stomachs; who has time to start a fire?" Al replied without even looking up.
"Then..."
Staring at those flames, Ye Huan suddenly had a bad feeling. He hurriedly found a broken bowl and scooped some rainwater from the ground to pour onto the fire pit.
"Hey, Ye Huan, what are you doing?" The little princess, comfortably warming herself by the fire, noticed Ye Huan's actions and couldn't help but ask quietly, clearly on alert.
Making a shushing gesture, Ye Huan pointed towards the flames he had just seen. At this moment, everyone noticed that those flames were clearly made up of torches. One by one, they involuntarily looked at Ye Huan. Even Weiyang, who had just been clamoring to learn how to start a fire in the rain, fell silent and waited for Ye Huan to make a decision.
"Over there! Quickly!"
Suddenly, shouts from several people came from afar as they spotted Ye Huan and his group. The torches began moving in their direction.
It turned out that the trouble had originated from the fire pit. Due to the damp weather, smoke from the burning fire was already quite noticeable. When Ye Huan poured water on it, the moment the flames were extinguished, thick blue smoke billowed up and revealed their location.
'This is bad; we've been discovered.'
In an instant, Ye Huan realized why they had been found out and quickly instructed everyone: "Hurry! Zhang Ren, carry Al on your back; Zhao Ziyu, take Ivy with you. We need to leave here fast."
As he spoke, Ye Huan summoned several smoke bombs and tossed them around.
"Wait a minute! Why should I run? Aren't you merchants from Huaxia Nation who ended up here? Can someone tell me what's going on?"
As the smoke and chaos surrounded him, Al was still trying to comprehend what was happening after being lifted by Zhang Ren. After all, according to what Ye Huan had told him earlier, they were merely merchants. But the situation before him clearly indicated that someone was searching for Ye Huan and his companions.
Thus, Al struggled a bit in Zhang Ren's grasp.
With no time to explain everything to Al, Ye Huan instructed Weiyang and the others to head towards the City Gate while he continuously summoned various weapons from his 2012 Arms Compendium. He conjured an M4A1 assault rifle, a pair of Anti-Glare Glasses, and several types of Grenades.
Just to be safe, Ye Huan even summoned the stylish Desert Eagle from the first page of his 2012 Arms Compendium and tucked it into his jacket.
The night was exceptionally cold, with heavy rain pouring down on the ground, creating immense psychological pressure. Ye Huan felt a sense of foreboding; it would be difficult for them to make it through the night safely. To buy time for everyone to escape, fighting was their only option!
In the blink of an eye, torches drew closer to Ye Huan. Sweat filled his palms as he noticed that one of the torches was now about ten meters away. He could clearly see the figures approaching; they were clad in the armor of Liangzhou city guards!
With a swift motion, he threw a Flashbang without giving them a chance to react and immediately pulled the trigger on his M4A1 assault rifle!
The sharp sound of gunfire echoed as several torches extinguished instantly. Since Liangzhou was currently under the control of the Southern Xiongnu Empire, it was likely that the guards were also from that empire. Ye Huan wasn't worried about mistakenly hitting allies; he unleashed a torrent of bullets.
While firing, Ye Huan continued to retreat, hoping to get closer to Weiyang and the others. Unfortunately, they had already sprinted far beyond the slums' boundaries. Upon hearing the commotion behind him, more armored soldiers from Liangzhou City surrounded every exit of the slum. It was clear that if Ye Huan chose any direction to break through, more soldiers would converge on his location…
