Chu Jiaojiao held the assault rifle in her hand and looked at Chu Xingyue with some confusion.
"Sis, what did you add to this gun? Why is it so heavy?"
"It increases your range, stability, and magazine capacity."
"Captain, what's my turn?"
Chu Xingyue patiently answered all the questions from the team. They all knew that someone had ignored warnings and disassembled a gun on their own, which caused the gun to explode and blow off both of their hands, leaving them with only their upper arms.
They didn't want to blow off their gun handles just because they were curious.
Gu Yanci led everyone to drive to the woods not far from the castle.
“I’ve arranged some small animals in the woods, you can all give it a try.”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard Gu Yanci's words; they had been using electronic palladium for the past few days.
"Bang"
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the bird that had turned into a bloody mist not far away.
"Holy crap, it was smashed to pieces?"
Another bird flew out
"Bang"
If it had only happened in the blink of an eye, then everyone would now be able to see the corpses but not the birds.
Chu Xingyue's gun was the heaviest and most lethal of all the guns.
A rabbit, driven out of the woods by something, ran out from not far away. Chu Xingyue raised her gun, aimed directly, and a muffled thud was heard.
"puff"
Everyone gripped their weapons tightly and swallowed hard.
What are they seeing now? Why is the big tree closest to the rabbit completely unharmed?
The big tree behind the rabbit was splattered with blood. If they hadn't actually seen a rabbit, who would have known what it was from that pool of blood?
Chu Jiaojiao stared blankly at the pool of blood.
"Sis, is my gun a bit too powerful?"
"How could we deal with someone so unpredictable if we weren't powerful?" So, this gun was meant to be used against that person?
"Do not fire unless absolutely necessary."
The gun in Chu Jiaojiao's hand is a modification based on Gu Yanci's gun.
Gu Yanci looked at the gun in his hand. Was this gun really that lethal?
It turns out that what An'an gave them before was too conservative. Now that they have this gun, aren't they invincible?
Everyone else surrounded Chu Jiaojiao, practically polishing her gun with their hands.
Nobody can lift it. Goodness, is this specially made? It's so heavy! It's difficult for even one person to lift it, let alone aim it accurately.
As expected, powerful weapons aren't for everyone. However, they were quite satisfied with the heavy weapon in Chu Jiaojiao's hand. If this one were out in the open, it would be in high demand. Thinking of this, they all gripped their precious weapon tightly.
"An'an, we can't mass-produce this, can we?"
Gu Yanci asked the question that was on his mind.
"Not for now. This is for dealing with those cyborgs. I don't know the extent of their modifications yet. What we have can only render them unable to resist for now. I added something to the bullets, just in case."
Chu Xingyue didn't say anything more; she just hoped it was all just her guess.
There weren't many bullets, and the team members were getting used to the weight in their hands.
There were a few details to keep in mind, which Chu Xingyue explained to them before heading to the small conference room with Gu Yan. She had something else to confirm.
A phone rang in the family compound of the Northwest Military Region.
"Hello."
"Sister-in-law, it's me, An'an. How have things been between you and my brother lately?"
"Okay, okay, we're all fine. As for you, I don't dare to call you. Your older brother said you're busy and specifically told me not to bother you. I miss you so much."
The grievance in Fang Qiong's voice warmed Chu Xingyue's heart.
"What are you saying? An'an did something big, and now she's complaining about me again."
"How is this a complaint against you? It was you who did it."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's all my fault."
Gu Yanting's voice came through the phone, repeatedly apologizing.
"Sister-in-law, I need your help with something."
"Then I'll give the phone to your older brother."
"An'an, what's wrong?"
"Brother, I would like to ask you to arrange for someone to go to the research institute above and bring my mother to the family compound. I have encountered some problems here and I need my mother to tell me."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right now. You can chat with your sister-in-law for a bit first."
Gu Yanci went to his study to make a phone call.
“An’an, when you come back this time, tell me that your aunt and I went to visit you. I recently learned how to make spicy skewers, which are all the rage online. The taste is simply intoxicating. It’s just that your older brother can’t eat such spicy food, so no one will eat with us. It’s always me and Xiao Si who eat together, and we bring Jiao Jiao along. That girl likes to eat this too.”
"Yeah, I'll call you guys when I get back. There's nothing good to eat here. Now that you've mentioned it, I'm even thinking of going back."
Chu Xingyue's tone carried a hint of coquetry. Who could resist a junior they already liked acting coquettishly towards them? Now she was also their sister-in-law. Everyone adapted to Chu Xingyue's change in status very quickly, even more so than before.
Fang Qiong and Gu Si, in particular, were overjoyed when they found out that Chu Xingyue was with their little brother. Sometimes they would even glare at their brother, feeling that he had ruined the perfect An'an in their hearts.
Sometimes Gu Yanci would fall into self-doubt: Am I really that bad?
This often left Chu Xingyue both amused and exasperated. Was Gu Yanci, who was all-powerful outside, really so powerless in front of his family?
When Chu Xingyue and Gu Yanci got engaged, Fang Qiong and Gu Si often complained about how arrogant Gu Yanci was when he was a child. They even told Chu Xingyue about how he wet the bed when he was a few years old and how he was chased by little girls and had to hide at home because he was too scared to go out. During that time, Chu Xingyue was often amused to the point of falling over. The two women in the family were simply amazing.
Chu Xingyue knew that while they were ostensibly criticizing Gu Yanci, they were actually trying to help her understand Gu Yanci better. They wanted her to know about Gu Yanci's childhood, which also indirectly showed that Gu Yanci had always been a virtuous and upright child.
Gu Yanci expressed his sincere gratitude to his sister-in-law and sister, saying that there was really no need to bring up his bedwetting and hiding at home.
Gu Yanci sat next to Chu Xingyue, holding Chu Xingyue's hand and watching Chu Xingyue chat happily with her sister-in-law. People say that the most difficult relationships are with sisters-in-law, aunts and sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law and brothers' wives.
I didn't see any of that in their house. All I saw was the hostility these women showed towards the men in their family. Sometimes, seeing the way they looked at me, I felt like I was the one who was superfluous.
The three men in the family occasionally get together and discuss things, but if the three of them lived together, they probably wouldn't even remember that they have a man in their lives.
