Chapter 21

Roar! Roar! Roar!

Rattle! Rattle! Rattle!

As the convoy advanced another 100 meters, it finally encountered the oncoming zombies, and the sounds of gunfire and artillery suddenly erupted.

Since he was at the rear of the convoy, Lin Xinghai couldn't see what was happening at the front, but he could see blue beams of light shooting out.

Wherever these blue beams passed, whether it was zombies, buildings, or rocks, they would instantly be penetrated.

The power of the electromagnetic railguns was truly terrifying. When using this weapon to attack zombies, there was no need to aim for their heads.

As long as the bullets hit the zombies' bodies, the powerful kinetic energy would tear them apart, and even if their heads were intact, they wouldn't survive.

This greatly reduced the requirement for shooting accuracy.

Moreover, the electromagnetic railguns not only had great power but also had a firing rate that was not much different from heavy machine guns.

With the support of crossfire, the zombies coming from the front would die as soon as they appeared.

At this moment, apart from the two multi-functional off-road vehicles leading the charge, the members of the second and third teams also unleashed terrifying firepower.

In addition to using the Ripper rifles for attacks, they also used hand cannons, and each bullet fired would produce a loud explosion.

This kind of area attack often took out two or three zombies at once.

Under this intense firepower, the zombies trying to attack from the sides had no chance, and it was even difficult for them to get within 30 meters of the convoy.

As for their first squad, which was responsible for the rear guard, the task was the easiest, and there was no problem in the short term.

Thus, the convoy quickly advanced toward the city center.

"Old Luo, at our current speed, how long will it take to reach the destination?" Lin Xinghai, feeling down because he couldn't collect blood qi, reverted to his old way of addressing Luo Jie.

Luo Jie didn't even want to comment on the way he was addressed, "According to the planned route, it will take about half an hour to reach the city center."

After saying that, he patted the Ripper rifle in his hand, "So you should understand how urgent the situation is. Next, I'll demonstrate in detail, and then you can start practicing. Any questions?"

"No problem!" Lin Xinghai immediately put aside his frustration over not being able to collect blood qi and became serious.

After all, good shooting skills were essential for survival in the apocalypse.

"Great, let's start with the simplest part—reloading bullets."

"Press this button on the gun, and the magazine will pop out. The bullet box is under the seat, this small black box is it."

"The bullet box has an automatic loading function. Insert the magazine into this slot and press the button to automatically load it."

"A full magazine holds 50 bullets. During the shooting process, you need to keep track of how many bullets are left in the gun. When the bullets are down to one-third, you should find an opportunity to reload."

"Alright, next I'll teach you the shooting stance. The way I'm holding the gun is the standard stance. This is the sight, and you have the option of mechanical or optical aiming."

"Although the latter is easier to use, I suggest you choose the former, as it will help you develop a better feel. Many times, you won't have the time to aim, and you'll need to shoot blindly, which is when your feel is crucial."

Luo Jie was explaining the details and points to note, and Lin Xinghai was listening attentively. However, this process only lasted for a short three minutes.

"Alright, I've covered everything. Any questions?" Luo Jie asked.

"This three-minute cramming is the biggest problem," Lin Xinghai thought to himself. He had never heard of such unreliable teaching.

However, before he could say anything, the system spoke up first.

"Ding! Mastered basic shooting skills!"

"This! Is the system so powerful? It even has an autonomous learning function." Lin Xinghai was excited and said he had no problems.

Luo Jie's expression was somewhat surprised. Young people these days learn so quickly?

But he didn't say anything, nodded, and then picked up the Ripper rifle, chose a shooting window, and started attacking the zombies behind the convoy.

As for Lin Xinghai, he quickly brought up the system panel.

Host: Lin Xinghai

Constitution: 24 points

Strength: 20 points

Speed: 29 points

Blood Qi: 63 points

Gene Optimization: 29%+

Basic Shooting Skills: Proficiency 1%+

Sure enough, the system panel now included Basic Shooting Skills, but the 1%+ proficiency made his excitement diminish significantly.

He tapped the "+" sign, and a prompt box immediately appeared.

"Ding! Do you want to consume 1 point of blood qi to improve?"

"Damn! It's the same old routine." Lin Xinghai almost couldn't hold back from cursing. He thought the system had a change of heart this time!

However, no matter how unfair it was, this was still a shortcut to improving his strength, so he eventually tapped it.

Instantly, Lin Xinghai felt a stream of information appear in his mind, which was exactly what Luo Jie had told him in those three minutes.

When Luo Jie was explaining, he had been half-listening, but now the information that appeared in his mind was like a sudden enlightenment, and he instantly understood the meaning of every word.

He opened the system panel again and looked at it, his expression slightly surprised.

Basic Shooting Skills: Proficiency 10%+

"This improvement is quite significant!" Lin Xinghai was pleasantly surprised.

To test the 10% proficiency, he went to a nearby shooting window, raised his gun, and aimed.

This series of actions was something Luo Jie had demonstrated while explaining.

Now, he could easily mimic them, each movement being so standard, natural, and smooth.

Lin Xinghai aimed at a zombie 50 meters away.

He gently pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out, but the zombie continued to charge toward the convoy.

"Uh! Missed." Lin Xinghai's mood instantly soured.

The bullet hit the wall 2 meters to the right of the zombie.

A 2-meter miss... That seemed... quite large.

However, Lin Xinghai didn't notice that Luo Jie, who was next to him, had watched the entire process and had a slightly odd expression on his face.

After slightly adjusting his mindset, Lin Xinghai re-aimed and fired again.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

This time, he fired three shots in succession, but none of them hit. The closest shot was still a meter away from the zombie, and the farthest was three meters away.

"This..." Lin Xinghai was a bit embarrassed. He knew each bullet wasn't cheap, and with his current shooting skills, he might not hit the zombie even after firing a full magazine.

He wanted to find a closer target, but he found that the closer targets were being fought over by other members, leaving no chance for him.

"This is forcing me to cheat!"
