(There will only be three updates today, this is the first one, it's a bit late, April 1st, sigh)

Bang!

A gunshot rang out across the abandoned farmland.

The effective range of a pistol is fifty meters. At the moment of firing, the bullet travels to a distance of fifty meters in an instant, making it impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Wow, this is so much fun!" Zhong Linyun exclaimed, holding the gun.

I stood beside her, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

"But my hand hurts so much!" Zhong Linyun put down the gun and pinched the space between her thumb and forefinger.

I don't know much about handguns. All I can do is let Zhong Linyun, this little girl, fire one. After all, I'm still practicing myself.

The recoil of a pistol is quite strong. Before I had ever handled a pistol, when I watched people shoot guns in TV dramas and movies, I always thought shooting was so easy. The protagonists always hit their targets, while the villains could still manage to hurt the protagonists even after emptying their magazines.

Now that I've actually handled a gun, I realize there's so much to learn about handguns, and it's impossible to master them overnight.

I took the pistol from Zhong Linyun's hand, aimed it at a beer bottle ten meters away, and fired a shot.

Bang! The gunshot rang out, but the beer bottle ten meters away remained motionless.

"Haha, so it turns out your aim isn't that great, Brother Xiaonan," Zhong Linyun said happily.

"Uh, my mistake." I gave an awkward laugh, aimed again, and pulled the trigger.

Bang! Crash!

The first sound was naturally a gunshot, and the second sound was the shattering of a beer bottle.

"Wow, Xiaonan, you're so amazing!" Zhong Linyun kept clapping her hands, and everyone looked over, making me a little embarrassed.

But for some reason, my back straightened up, and it felt really good to be praised.

Three days have passed since the explosion in the safe zone.

For the past three days, our group has been coming here every day to practice shooting. I always felt it was a waste, but Fei Lichao didn't care and gave me a direct answer that I couldn't refute.

"We're rich and foolish, why should we care about this little thing?"

They are indeed fools with too much money. Three days ago, they took out guns from the air-raid shelter that filled two vehicles, and there were countless bullets. In short, they can let us squander them to our hearts' content.

Fei Lichao's meaning was quite clear: he wanted us to practice more and master gun-handling skills, which would greatly increase our chances of survival outside.

"Brother Xiaonan, let me do it, let me do it." The little girl hurriedly snatched the pistol from my hand and fired several shots at the beer bottle in front of her, but she didn't hit it once.

"Why can't I hit anything with my shots?" the little girl said unhappily.

I smiled and was about to speak when Pu Weichao called out to me from not far away.

"Xiaonan, stop playing around, get in the car, let's go find something to eat."

"Okay, I know. Wait a minute." I said, then said to the little girl, "Silly girl, go find Fei Lichao and have him teach you how to fire a gun. I'm leaving now to go find something to eat."

"Goodbye, Brother Xiaonan, be careful."

"Okay." I smiled and got into the police car. Pu Weichao stepped on the gas and headed towards Jiajiang City.

The place where we practiced shooting was far from Jiajiang City, about ten kilometers away.

The reason for practicing shooting here is twofold: firstly, for safety, and secondly, to avoid attracting attention.

In addition, the consumption of daily necessities and food has been quite high these days. After all, we have now completely settled down and naturally want to improve our lives. As a result, the demand for daily necessities will increase significantly.

So every two days, we would arrange for two people to go out and find supplies.

Today it's my turn and Pu Weichao's turn.

In the car, Pu Weichao asked, "Xiaonan, I have a question for you."

"Um?"

Pu Weichao glanced at me and asked, "What are you planning to do next?"

"Next?" I was a little confused by his question and asked in return, "What do you mean, 'Next'?"

Pu Weichao said, "I think things are stable now, there are no conflicts within the team, we don't need to worry about weapons, and food and supplies are plentiful in Jiajiang City. So, have you thought about your own situation?"

"Your own business?" I stared at his profile and understood what he meant.

Pu Weichao nodded: "Yes, it's my own business. I plan to visit my parents in another month. After all, my home is in Jiajiang City. Although it's a bit far, I'm sure I can get there. I guess other people probably have the same idea, so I asked you."

I remained silent for a long time before saying, "I did intend to look for it, but..."

Pu Weichao interrupted me, saying, "There's no 'buts' about it. Just look for them if you want. Anyway, in another month, the situation here will definitely be completely stable, and maybe some new people will join us then."

A bitter smile appeared on my face. "Alright then, let's do it your way. A month from now, we'll set off to do our own things and find the people we need to find."

The journey of a dozen kilometers was not far, and we entered Jiajiang City in just over ten minutes.

We mostly traveled on remote paths, where there were very few monsters and vehicles.

The explosion in the safe zone three days ago lured most of the monsters to that side, so the edge of Jiajiang City is still relatively safe.

We drove along and stopped the car when we saw a supermarket.

"This is the one?" Pu Weichao asked.

"Sure, there look like there are a few zombies inside, but we should be fine," I said with a smile.

"Okay, grab the gun. You provide cover, I'll go in and take care of it."
