Chapter 185 187 Someone is blocking the road

After looking at these three strange weapons, Rong Xianxian looked at the weapons rack from top to bottom again. Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she found a few pistols in the corner of the weapons rack.

These were the weapons seized from Rong Xianxian when Ren Tian and his gang attempted to rob her, including four pistols, an assault rifle, and more than twenty boxes of bullets. At that time, Rong Xianxian and his gang set traps and killed monsters in a teamwork way, which not only helped to hone themselves, but also improved the relationships between team members.

Moreover, Rong Xianxian had a preconceived notion that ordinary hot weapons such as pistols and rifles had very limited lethality against monsters, so she had long since put these captured weapons aside and forgotten them in a corner.

I have discovered during the past few days of being chased that the lethality of ordinary thermal weapons against monsters may be very limited, but for humans with fragile bodies, the intimidation caused by long-range guns cannot be underestimated.

Rong Xianxian thought for a moment and took out these guns. She also took out three assault rifles from the sachet space and piled them together. These were the ones Rong Xianxian exchanged for monster corpses in the Binyang Safe Zone.

Four pistols and four assault rifles. Wang Lin, Jiang Jie, Xia Kai, and Wang Qirui each have a pistol and an assault rifle, which can be used to supplement the internal spiritual energy when it is insufficient.

In her previous life, when Rong Xianxian was working in logistics for a relatively powerful civilian team, she once heard their fighters discuss that when facing monsters, the power of firearms could not compare to sharp cold weapons. One reason was that it took time to reload the ammunition, and the other was that monsters were generally huge in size, with thick skin and flesh, and covered with armor and scales. Ordinary bullets did not have strong armor-piercing ability, so naturally their lethality to monsters was not great.

In fact, these limitations in the use of firearms do exist, but through previous discussions with Cui Lie about marksmanship, Rong Xianxian discovered that she might have fallen into a misunderstanding. The fighters in the civilian team had not received any training in marksmanship, and they just shot at monsters indiscriminately. Bullets are consumable, and when they are empty they have to be replaced. As a result, firearms are naturally unpopular.

But Cui Lie and Wang Lin are different. They are retired soldiers who have received professional training. Cui Lie said that his shooting skills can hit whatever he points within the range. Given his personality, this statement is definitely not bragging. I'm afraid Cui Lie is really the legendary sharpshooter.

The way Cui Lie held the bazooka reminded Rong Xianxian of his school days, when he would spin a pen in his hands when he was bored. It looked skillful and friendly.

Many of the soldiers in the mercenary convoy were not cultivators. They relied on hot weapons to clear the way from Chongzhou to Binyang, and still made the monsters flee at the sight of them.

However, firearms and ammunition were strictly controlled before the apocalypse, and they are not easy to get after the apocalypse. As time goes on, the production of hot weapons will be restricted, and the quotas in the army will probably be gradually reduced. It will be even more difficult to get firearms and ammunition on the market. It is still most important to improve one's own strength.

Therefore, it is better to use cold weapons to hunt monsters in the future, and use guns to scare the same kind. Of course, the powerful bombs that Rong Xianxian got are a different matter.

Rong Xianxian placed the pistol and assault rifle next to her and continued to count the supplies, this time mainly cleaning out the things in the sachet space.

Public supplies piled up in a mess occupied a corner of the space, the arms and weapons exchanged from Yu Feng occupied nearly half of the space in the sachet, and the pile of bottles exchanged from an old man in the Binyang Security Zone were piled next to the arms. Rong Xianxian took out the long-mouthed, flat-mouthed, big-bellied bottle that she had liked before from the sachet space, wiped the dirt off the bottle with a wet towel, and placed it on a pure white chest of drawers next to the arms.

The bottom layer of the chest of drawers was filled with transparent, crystal clear, and very beautiful jade pieces, which were selected from the jade shop when I went to the mall to search for supplies. Only a small part of these jade pieces were exquisitely carved finished jade pieces, and most of them were fine jade stones that had not yet been processed. That jade shop provided customization services, and those fine jade stones were of good quality and had not been carved or polished, making them more suitable for engraving talismans.

The sound-transmitting jade talisman is carved from the jade here. The stability and spiritual energy carrying capacity of the talisman are incomparable to those of paper and wooden talismans.

Although one year into the apocalypse, talisman makers were still only legendary figures and the price of jade was not high, one day, the price of jade, a non-renewable resource suitable for talisman making, would surely soar. Now that she owned the misty space and could collect more supplies, she should perhaps stockpile a large amount of jade.

The second layer of the chest of drawers was filled with countless jade and porcelain bottles of various sizes. All the bottles were labeled, and inside them were various medicines prepared by Rong Xianxian in different dosage forms and with different effects, including pills for internal use such as Zhuguo Pills, Blood-Boosting and Qi-Replenishing Pills, and Detoxification Pills; powders for internal use such as Turmeric Powder, Qingxin Powder, and Huiyang Jiuni Powder; external plasters such as Golden Plaster, Qianjin Ruyi Plaster, and Zhuanggu Plaster; there were also three bottles of fruit wine made from Zhuguo juice, which was crystal clear, sweet and mellow, and exuded a faint intoxicating aroma that was refreshing and intoxicating.

The third layer of the chest of drawers was filled with many books and high-quality talisman papers of different colors. The "Tianbao Talisman Art" given to her by Liu Qingchen, the "Primary Talisman Making Book" she got at first, the "True Spirit Scripture" practiced by Rong Xianxian, and other "Spirit Induction Art", "Burning Art", "Golden Thunder Art", "Light Body Art", "Wind Control Art", "Purifying Heart Art" and so on. The advanced skill books and exercises books could not be copied, and several were in the hands of Cui Lie and others for them to study and practice.

The fourth layer of the chest of drawers displays the talismans that Rong Xianxian successfully made. The largest number of them are the Vajra Talisman. Next to the talismans are some black porcelain bottles, which are filled with various poisons. Some of the poisons are collected directly from plants or animals, and some are prepared by Rong Xianxian herself.

The fifth layer of the chest of drawers, which is also the top layer, contains the least things, only a few items. The first item is a leather bag filled with gasoline, which functions similarly to a jade bottle. About one tenth of the gasoline inside has been used up.

There are three mirrors of unknown function, one large and two small. The backs of the mirrors are engraved with complicated space runes.

A finger-high silver bottle containing the monster's inner elixir.

With a "bang", something seemed to hit the vehicle in front, and the vehicle slowed down. "Ah Lin, what's going on?" Rong Xianxian was interrupted, and she regained her mind and asked through the sound transmission jade talisman.

"Sister Rong, there are people blocking the road ahead. I'll go down and take a look." Wang Lin's voice was filled with suppressed anger.
