Runemaster in the Last Days

To be honest, there has always been gaps between the bases just like there were gaps between cities and continents before.

It was impossible for all places to be exactly the same.

City I Base was one of the relatively poor area. There were not many capable people here and the leader was barely scraping by for the people to live. Even though they did try to plant food and so on, the current situation was not very good.

Because of their low combat power, most of the people in City I Base could only focus on their survival.

For many matters, they could not think too much.

One of them was the problem of clothing.

"The temperature has gotten colder lately… do you think it'll be a good thing if they started to pay more attention?" Amelia asked when they walked on the street.

After becoming a magic warrior, it was not like they were not sensitive to the temperature changes. But that it would not affect their body too much and at most, they knew that the temperature was different from before.

But for the details, it would depend on how sensitive they were.

"I have talked with the leader, but they couldn't really spare manpower for this," Arnold replied.

"Hmm, does Ruben has any way?"

Ruben was the one who had the most connection and for some reasons, he also has a lot of resources in his hand. Amelia felt that if they really wanted to get more clothing for the people, they could try to ask him.

"Him?" Arnold was surprised by Amelia's question and tilted his head. "I don't know, but he could try to negotiate."

"Huh uh."

The two of them continued to walk out of the base. After a while, the two of them stopped and Arnold turned his head to the side. "Someone is here."

Bang!

A counterattack shield was formed right in front of them and blocked the bullet that was about to reach them.

However, Arnold's expression changed. "Sniper."

Firearms were not completely abandoned and only modified. In fact, many people still used guns, bombs, and so on when fighting against the magic beasts.

But what they were facing right now is a sniper.

Gun's distribution was restricted in Continent Z and strictly speaking, it should not be possible for ordinary people to get a sniper rifle in their current territory.

"Who is it?" Amelia looked up at the tall buildings in the direction where the bullet came from, but it was too far away to see clearly.

While the magic beasts' tide had destroyed many places, but it didn't mean that it completely destroyed City I. There were still some tall buildings remained and whoever built them before should be proud.

Because their construction materials was not only proven against earthquake but also against the rampaging magic beasts and won.

"Tsk." Arnold took out a telescope from his space storage scroll and looked in that direction.

Samuel had given them enough space storage scrolls so that they could do their missions easily. As for the price, it was simply taken from the contribution points they had earned so far.

No matter what, they would feel uncomfortable if they received things for free.

Unless they were close family members, no one would like to be taken advantaged of by others.

"…Yer," Arnold muttered in a low voice when he saw the familiar face.

Bang!

Another bullet came towards them and Arnold pulled Amelia out of the way.

"Who is it?" Amelia frowned, finding the name unfamiliar.

"One of the few people who wants my life back then," Arnold replied and took out a sniper rifle from his space storage scroll.

Amelia looked at the weapon that Arnold took out and was silent. She knew his previous profession, so she was not too surprised. But using this kind of weapon…

"A mercenary?"

"Yes."

Arnold raised the weapon in his hand but it was heading in a completely different direction. The next moment, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

In the distance, a person fell down.

"That's…?"

"His men," Arnold replied. "They will surround this place soon, so let's go."

"Ok."

While Amelia has a lot of questions in her mind, such as why they were using firearms, but she chose not to ask it. Because Amelia knew very well that this was not the place for her to ask.

Swish! Bang! Bang! Bang!

As Arnold expected, the two of them were ambushed right when they were about to leave the street.

Seeing these people staying on the second floor of the ruined buildings or on top of a vehicles, Amelia's expression turned for the worse. The counterattack shield was turned on, but it was not of much use when dealing with bullets.

Because she couldn't shoot them directly.

"Use the weapon given by her," Arnold said as he took out the gun that Riya gave to him and started shooting too.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

What followed was explosion due to the fire and lightning elements.

The runes carved on the weapon allowed the elements to be used freely.

Amelia frowned, but she still listened to Arnold and started to shoot these people in front of her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Gunshots rang out.

Both sides were fighting with firearms instead of magic and it created a kind of different situation.

But it didn't last long as these people couldn't match both Amelia and Arnold in terms of shooting skills. Many of them died on the spot when they were attacked and most of them were solved by Arnold.

Only a few were killed by Amelia.

Arnold could see the hesitation and uneasiness in Amelia's eyes, so he didn't force her.

*roar*

"The magic beasts are coming." Arnold frowned when he saw this.

"Leave it to me." Amelia immediately switched her stance and took out her sword and quickly killed these magic beasts. Compared to dealing with humans, she prefer to deal with these magic beasts.

"You…" Arnold looked helpless and then he saw someone throwing a grenade. "Watch out!"

BANG!
