I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

Uh...

As for the exact speed that could be reached, he wasn't sure since the Hell Gatling didn't come with a dashboard to provide detailed data. He just felt that the speed wasn't slow, even faster than the average car.

Theoretically, against an ordinary person, he wouldn't even need to shoot; he could just as well kill someone by ramming them with the Hell Gatling.

And after practicing for a while, he had almost gotten the hang of controlling the Hell Gatling with his mind, which should make it possible to carry a passenger.

The maximum distance for telekinetic control was a radius of one kilometer from him, which means a diameter of two kilometers.

That meant as long as the enemy was within a kilometer of him, he could drop the Gatling right above their head at any time, stuff the barrel in their mouth and fire. A pretty good effect, with many potential uses.

At least, the uses were much more numerous than the original defensive turret.

The defensive turret had pitifully few scenarios where it was useful, only in extremely rare circumstances would that effect be of any use, and for the most part, it was pointless.

...

"Get on?"

The Hungry Monkey hesitated briefly on the street, then after exchanging looks with Yuan Buping and the others, he somewhat reluctantly swung himself onto the hovering Hell Gatling.

The Hell Gatling wasn't large in size.

After both Chen Miao and Hungry Monkey had boarded, there wasn't much room left for Zhou Shen and Yuan Buping, but as the saying goes, "There's more than one way to skin a cat." With one in each hand, the Hungry Monkey grabbed the collars of the two men, nodded at Chen Miao to signal he was ready.

It looked like Zhou Shen and Yuan Buping were going to have to enjoy the flight hanging on.

The Hungry Monkey's Strength Value was fairly high, so holding a person in each hand wasn't much of a strain, and the clothing on Zhou Shen and the others was custom ordered by Chen Miao when he had created the Tomb Guardian force, so the quality was top-notch, certainly not likely to rip that easily.

It was safe, at least.

But the comfort level... wasn't quite as satisfying.

Quickly.

An excited Chen Miao began his first "Imperial Gatling" flight. As the Gatling carried four men up into the air, the passersby on the road finally showed expressions of astonishment, somewhat dumbfounded they stared at the Hell Gatling that was floating mid-air without any visible power source.

The scene was captured by many people and posted on forums and various social platforms, causing quite a stir for a while.

...

About half an hour later, Chen Miao, slightly bored, randomly chose a skyscraper's rooftop to land on. Overlooking the city below, it had been quite a while yet not a single officer from the Enforcement Bureau had come to intercept him.

Nor had he received any warnings.

Obviously, someone from above knew he had returned and had informed the others not to bother him.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else in his situation, they would definitely be intercepted and warned. This was considered illegal firearms use and unauthorized flight within the city, causing social disruption.

There were plenty of charges to throw at him, if someone wanted to do so.

"Pretty good."

He was quite pleased as he patted the Hell Gatling floating beside him. He was very satisfied with this effect, and if nothing went wrong, this weapon would become one of his frequently used ones in the future.

He was quite eager to experiment with the effects of his new weapon.

And just then—

An announcement sounded in the ears of all residents of Fengtian City.

"Ding, the random event 'Surging Crowd' will appear in the Sankui Wasteland of Fengtian City in half an hour."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Please prepare, all players."

"There's action!"

The moment he heard the announcement, Zhou Shen almost reflexively jumped up, ready to rush downstairs, and opened his smartwatch, but midway through his rush, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the director of the Events Bureau.

This random event had nothing to do with him anymore.

He had resigned.

"Times have changed."

With a somewhat nostalgic expression, Hungry Monkey patted Zhou Shen's shoulder, "Let's go. Even though you're no longer the director of the Events Bureau, you still have to take a trip outside. Miao is just right for testing his new weapon."

He understood Miao quite well.

Clearly, Miao had a new toy and was probably itching to use it. The appearance of a random event was a perfect opportunity for Miao to try it out. This was like being delivered a pillow when you're sleepy—could there be anything more perfect?

"By the way, what is this 'Surging Crowd' event?"

"That name sounds a bit odd."

"Uh..."

After searching his memories for a while and finding nothing, Zhou Shen opened his smartwatch and scrolled through the random event manual for some time before shaking his head, "There's no record of it. This random event is appearing for the first time. Once it's over, there will be a corresponding entry in the manual."

"Generally, these kinds of city-state level random events are mainly boss sieges,"

"Is there any danger?" Hungry Monkey propped his chin with one hand, pondering.

It would be a real loss if they were to screw up while testing new toys.

"No."

Zhou Shen shook his head, "Generally, there's no real difficulty with city-state level random events. It's just that there's often very little time, like this time, from notification to the onset of the event there's only 30 minutes, which really tests a city's response speed."

"But as for difficulty, that's about it."

"At most, it might cause some losses in manpower for the Events Bureau and the Enforcement Bureau, but for the city residents, there's definitely no impact. At least, during my time as director and vice-director at the Events Bureau, nothing has ever gone wrong."

"Indeed."

Hungry Monkey nodded solemnly, "During that time, Miao was almost killing like crazy, and aside from cleaning up the scene, it didn't seem like the Events Bureau had any other use. If something had gone wrong, it would have been the devil's own luck."

"..."

Zhou Shen's mouth opened slightly, but for a moment he didn't know how to respond.

"Let's go."

Chen Miao mounted his Hell Gatling, facing towards the direction of Sankui Wasteland with a slight smile and a sparkle of anticipation in his eyes, ready to show off his new toy. With the function of Sword Flight now added, his means of transportation had increased by one.

In short-distance shuttles,

the Hell Gatling was much more effective than the Hell Bus.

The Hell Bus wasn't exactly fast; its main advantage was concealment, extreme concealment. The kind you definitely wouldn't get ambushed while using, and as long as there was a road, it could reach its destination.

But now, with the Sword Flight functionality, that third effect of his Hell Gatling became useless.

'3: "Reverse Thruster": This Gatling can transform into a mech suit, firing bullets backwards to propel the user forward at high speeds, with a maximum speed of 300km/hr. However, during rapid movement, bullets will be fired in the opposite direction.'

When the bullets are exhausted, the power fades away.

And people in front of the opposing direction will be attacked.'

He used to like this effect a lot and hadn't even thought about refreshing it because it was his only means of flight, and it could reach speeds of 300km/hr.

Stay connected with empire

It was a great option for both traveling and combat.

But now, with Sword Flight, that effect seemed somewhat useless. He planned to refresh that effect later on, but he was a bit unsure, not knowing if his remaining 11 Effect Refresh Tickets would bring him a good effect.

This thing was really too random.

After using it a few times, even his confidence was worn out; it all depended on luck. If he was unlucky, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

...

Soon—

Chen Miao and his group had already arrived at Sankui Wasteland ahead of time. This was a familiar place where many events had taken place, and standing on this land again, a strong sense of familiarity hit them.

"Useless."

Zhou Shen glanced around and saw not a single person from the Enforcement Bureau or Events Bureau had arrived. He couldn't help but curse under his breath with a dark expression, "Eight minutes have passed and they haven't reached the target area yet. The efficiency of the Events Bureau is really getting worse."

"As a city's rapid response unit, to lack even this degree of responsiveness is simply disappointing."

"..."

Chen Miao glanced at Zhou Shen but didn't speak. If he remembered correctly, the first time there was a boss siege, he had almost finished off the boss before Zhou Shen arrived, puffing and panting with his men.

Back then, Zhou Shen was the vice-director of the Enforcement Bureau.

Eight minutes to gather people and hurry to a remote area was indeed a high demand.

But he actually understood what Zhou Shen meant.

Zhou Shen probably didn't even realize the issues with what he said; it was clear that Zhou preferred to lead within the Events Bureau, enjoying the feeling of calling the shots, rather than staying by his side.

It wasn't that Zhou Shen had changed, but that he had always been like this, right from the start when he actively sought out his acquaintance for one reason: to climb higher with the help of his strength.

For such a person, following him every day was a painful thing.

He withdrew his gaze from Zhou Shen, "Different people belong in different places," he thought to himself, already considering when to send Zhou Shen back to the Events Bureau, where he fit better than by his side.

As time went by,

the personnel from the Events Bureau and the Enforcement Bureau quickly arrived and spread out to prepare some armed positions. The newly appointed director of the Events Bureau jogged over to Chen Miao and Zhou Shen, saying respectfully in a low voice,

"Miao, good to see you. I'm the new director of the Events Bureau, at your service for any matter."

"Director Zhou, I'm still new to the job and might be a bit unskilled. Getting guidance from Director Zhou on my first operation would be more than I could ask for."

The new director of the Events Bureau was a young man, probably around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
