Looking towards the direction of the shot, a steel beast of a vehicle sped along, with half of Ye Qian’s body sticking out the window, aiming and shooting with a sniper rifle.
Soon, the vehicle arrived in front of them.
Zhu Cheng greeted with a beaming smile.
Lin Fan smiled; ever since Lao Zhong and the others advanced to the fourth stage, on their way to the fifth, they could freely leave Huang City and begin clearing zombies in the wild.
Look at Ye Qian’s increasing prowess; her spirit bullet’s penetration power was stronger, able to pierce through many zombies with a single shot when they stacked together.
Lao Zhong got out of the car and quickly cleared the zombies, casually swinging the shield in his hand to smash the zombies into a pulp; the impact was truly ferocious.
"Brother Lin, hello."
"Brother Lin, hello."
They were also smiling; ever since Lin Fan brought them back to Sunshine Shelter, their spirits and morale underwent drastic changes. Reflecting on their past situation, it was really bad, and surviving was a problem. But now they had become the main force in clearing zombies.
"Did you encounter anything tricky?" Lin Fan asked.
"No, on the way here we encountered a tyrant swaying around with a bunch of small zombies. My sister Qian directly blew its neck off with a shot, instantly severing its head from its body. As for those small zombies, they were easily dealt with."
Zhu Cheng was animated, even pulling out the straight knife from his back, wiping away the bloodstains with disdain, "Weird, I just remember cleaning it."
He was quite excited; previously, he could only watch with his sly eyes as they hunted zombies, only able to stare helplessly. That feeling was really frustrating.
But ever since wearing the war armor, he didn’t dare boast much, but hunting ordinary small zombies was no problem.
One swipe, one obedient zombie.
"You took action too."
Lin Fan was quite surprised; Zhu Cheng was a bit hefty, and initially wearing war armor was a challenge, needing to squeeze his flesh. But later with the increase in his ability, it somehow changed his body, making his muscles much firmer, and he could wear the war armor better.
Zhu Cheng replied, "Of course, I don’t want to be just an observer of zombies; I want to let the zombies know my strength with the straight knife in my hand."
Lao Zhong added from the side, "He was quite thrilled, eager to fight the zombies, but he’s still a bit weak. He insisted on challenging a powerful zombie and, with insufficient combat experience and strength, he was pummeled into confusion by the powerful zombie."
Yesterday, they encountered a powerful zombie. Zhu Cheng insisted on challenging, wearing war armor, and naturally, safety wasn’t an issue. Lao Zhong watched from the side; who would have thought Zhu Cheng struck the powerful zombie’s shoulder with a knife, and it punched him in the chest, sending him flying.
If he had struck instead.
With his strength, this strike could split the powerful zombie in two.
Ultimately, it was a matter of inadequate strength.
Lin Fan patted his shoulder and encouraged him.
"It’s great that you have the courage to fight zombies. It’s a big step. Although you’re not a powerful awakener, each time your ability improves, so does your physical fitness, still much stronger than an ordinary person."
Zhu Cheng raised his head proudly, his nose almost seemed to tilt up in pride.
"Protected by everyone all the time, I also want to make some changes."
Lao Zhong, Dong Jia, and Ye Qian all tried not to laugh. Every time they fought the zombies, Zhu Cheng’s eyes would widen in envy, almost spilling over the screen.
Although Zhu Cheng could only fight ordinary zombies, this was a successful first step for him, filling his ever-unsatisfied heart.
If anything, it was happiness.
Lin Fan knew that Zhu Cheng’s ability to fight zombies was largely due to the war armor.
Currently, war armor was being produced orderly.
The first step was to equip all awakeners with enhanced war armor, and then armed soldiers.
Huang City, as the safety point of the shelter, had already started comprehensive development.
Not everyone is an awakener, nor can anyone be as strong as Lin Fan. For handling ordinary zombies or zombies with white crystals, firearms still play a role.
When Team Lei joined the shelter, they brought many weapons.
Bullets were a key point. Fortunately, the shelter had many talented people. Old Master Zhou led the establishment of a bullet and ammunition factory; despite bullets being small, they weren’t easy to produce.
The complexity was unimaginable, with over one hundred and twenty processes.
If not handled by insiders, ordinary people attempting to produce bullets was an impossible task; thus, in the post-apocalyptic environment, talent was truly important.
When there were enough bullets, they could be squandered at will. Even if encountering a zombie tide, they could first suppress it with firepower. And, of course, some heavy weapons needed to be found outside as ready-made items. Old Master Zhou, given his age, found it hard to keep up energy-wise. Even if his energy was sufficient, making heavy weapons required equipment that wasn’t so easy to find.
Lin Fan reminded them, as they thought about constantly clearing zombies outside, "You have to be careful for your own safety. Although wild zombies might not be as terrifying as imagined, if encountered, safety should still be the focus."
