Chapter 17

Roger didn’t argue with Lin Xinghai but instead took the pistol, removed the magazine, and took out the bullets inside.

It was only then that Lin Xinghai noticed that the bullets inside were actually larger than a thumb, and there were only three bullets in the entire magazine.

"These bullets are actually a type of micro-bomb, with considerable power. To avoid injuring yourself, try not to shoot at close-range targets when using them."

As Roger said this, he rotated the bullet head three times in a regular pattern. The bullet immediately started beeping, and the sound became increasingly urgent. The bullet head even began to emit a red glow.

"Besides being used as a bullet, it can also be used as a grenade when necessary, just like the demonstration I just showed you." Roger said calmly, and when the beeping sound became continuous, he threw the bullet out through the observation window.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed, and the 50-ton armored vehicle shook violently. Through the observation window, Lin Xinghai saw a 10-meter-wide, 3-meter-deep crater appear 100 meters away.

"Swallow!"

He couldn't help but swallow hard, reminding himself that it was 200 years later, and everything couldn't be measured by the standards of the past. It wasn’t strange that a hand cannon had turned into a pistol.

"If it’s a speed-type gene enhancer, what kind of weapon would be more suitable?" Lin Xinghai asked humbly after regaining his composure.

"Are you a speed-type?" This time, it was Roger's turn to be stunned.

When Fang Tianhe was testing Lin Xinghai, he was watching from the side and knew that Lin Xinghai's strength had burst to about 20 points at that time.

This result had already shocked him greatly. If Lin Xinghai was a strength-type, it meant his gene enhancement level was 20%, which he could勉强 understand.

But if he wasn’t a strength-type but a speed-type, what was his gene enhancement level?

"Yes, I am a speed-type," Lin Xinghai nodded in acknowledgment.

Roger took a deep breath, suppressing his shock. Since Lin Xinghai had already joined the Sky Splitter Mercenary Group, there was no need to press for more details.

After some thought, he said, "For a speed-type gene enhancer, to fully utilize their speed advantage, it’s better to use light weapons like daggers, short spears, or thin swords."

"In this case, you can choose this 'G-3 Shredder Rifle' to make up for the lack of firepower."

"If it’s a constitution-type, since they excel in defense and have strong survival capabilities, they can use any weapon."

"Of course, the above are just some conventional choices. You can try different options and make your final decision." Roger said.

Lin Xinghai thought for a moment and ultimately decided to follow the expert's advice, picking up the automatic rifle, or rather, the 'G-3 Shredder Rifle.'

"How powerful is this Shredder Rifle?" Lin Xinghai asked.

"Ordinary bullets can penetrate 10 centimeters of steel plate. As for special bullets, it’s hard to evaluate because they are graded," Roger explained.

Hearing this, Lin Xinghai fondled the Shredder Rifle in his hand, becoming even more attached to it.

Seeing Lin Xinghai's reaction, Roger smiled and continued, "Here is the user manual. You can read it first, but don’t remove the safety. You can do whatever you want with the gun. Once we reach Tian Shan City, I’ll guide you step by step. Now, pick a cold weapon for self-defense!"

Looking at several small weapons, Lin Xinghai finally picked up a dagger, "How about this one?"

"This is a vibration dagger, which should be the most powerful among these short weapons," Roger said, taking the dagger from Lin Xinghai and pressing a protruding metal part on the handle.

Instantly, the entire dagger emitted a low hum, the sound of high-frequency vibration.

"This is the vibration mode. Once activated, you can cut through rock as easily as cutting through tofu. However, the energy consumption is quite high. After a full charge, it can only last for a maximum of 3 minutes, so it’s best to use it only when necessary." Roger explained.

Lin Xinghai's eyes grew brighter as he listened, feeling fortunate to have joined a mercenary group.

Otherwise, working alone would be dangerous, and it would be hard to know when he could get a suitable piece of equipment.

Back at his seat, Lin Xinghai flipped through the Shredder Rifle’s manual, skipping the parts about disassembly and assembly, and directly reading about weapon techniques and tips.

...

The convoy was moving quickly, and the farther they traveled, the more dilapidated the road became. Even with the excellent off-road performance of the armored vehicles, the ride was extremely bumpy, making it difficult for Lin Xinghai to concentrate on reading the manual.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded inside the vehicle, and Lin Xinghai, along with everyone else, looked at the display screen.

The screen was large, with many sub-screens, each corresponding to a different type of detector.

At this moment, the sub-screen corresponding to the "zombie detector" was flashing red.

Red dots appeared at the edge of the screen, eventually totaling 13 before stopping.

At this moment, Fang Tianhe's voice came through the vehicle's communication system, "We’ve encountered a small group of zombies, 13 in total, including two mid-level zombies. The first squad will handle it."

"Understood!" Roger responded immediately.

Without waiting for Roger's orders, the first squad quickly sprang into action. Their armored vehicle accelerated and broke away from the convoy, heading straight for the group of zombies.

As for the others, some opened the shooting ports inside the vehicle, while others climbed to the roof through the sunroof to take up shooting positions.

Thirty seconds later, the convoy met the group of zombies.

Rat-tat-tat!

A series of gunshots rang out. Lin Xinghai saw that the mercenaries were using burst fire to conserve ammunition, and the rate of fire wasn’t very fast.

After the first round of volleys, five of the 13 zombies 100 meters away were hit, but none of them died.

This was because they were hit in places other than the head, and the most terrifying thing about zombies was their resilience. As long as they weren’t hit in the head, they could still attack even if their arms or legs were severed.

Moreover, Lin Xinghai noticed that the speed of these zombies was not slow at all, averaging 15 points in speed.

What did this speed mean? It was equivalent to 1.5 times the speed of the top sprinters before the穿越.

Hitting such a fast-moving target was not an easy task.

As the zombies approached in a frenzy, they created an无形 pressure. At least, Lin Xinghai felt sweat starting to seep from his palms.
