"No?" Gu Lingxiao looked very disappointed.
Yu Xin couldn't make a decision either, saying, "What if they ask the general for it later and he gives it to them?"
If I say yes, what if the general doesn't want to give it to me?
Helpless, he could only say, "I'm not sure about that. Please rest here for a while while I go ask."
After saying that, he smiled politely at the two of them and left.
Hua Zhiyuan was busy mobilizing the super-energy crystal when he saw Hua Yuxin, who had just been sent to receive the Gu brothers, return. He asked, "Daughter, what's wrong?"
"General, didn't you say that you should be addressed as General in the military camp?"
"It's just a few of us, we're family, so don't worry about it. Tell me what happened?"
“Oh, Gu Lingxiao wants one, a Barrett S-11,” Hua Yuxin said.
Hua Zhiyuan was taken aback. "You told them we have some here?"
"They didn't say anything, but they knew it themselves."
Hua Zhiyuan fell into a brief moment of thought. Even before the apocalypse broke out, the Barrett S-11 was only known to the upper echelons of the military and was not actually displayed. How did they know about it?
"Then give him one. Give him ten magazines of regular bullets, two magazines each of special rounds, armor-piercing rounds, and high-explosive rounds, and one magazine each of armor-piercing incendiary rounds and armor-piercing high-explosive rounds." The bullets are plentiful, and they don't have many special rounds here.
They gave almost one-tenth of the prize money.
He paused, then continued, "You can come back for more regular bullets when you run out."
Hua Yuxin answered and then left.
Instead of going to find Gu Lingxiao and the other person, she directly took the Barrett S-11.
The two were surprised to find that it was delivered directly to them—a long, black box.
It was about the same length as Gu Lingxiao's height. It was carried over by two soldiers and made a heavy thud when it was placed on the table.
Gu Lingxiao opened the box; it was already assembled. Gu Lingxiao picked it up with one hand, making the two soldiers doubt whether what they had just struggled to carry over was really the same sniper rifle.
Gu Lingxiao had handled guns before, including many other models of Barrett, but this was the first time he had ever held this big guy in his hands.
He had only heard about its general appearance and name before, which was only told to him by a friend he got along with quite well.
Lin Yu described the appearance of the weapon during his investigation, but Gu Lingxiao was not sure if it was true. So he simply asked for it directly, and it turned out to be true.
Hua Yuxin handed the bullets to Gu Lingxiao and told him that he could come back for more regular bullets when he ran out.
"Do you need someone to introduce us?" Hua Yuxin continued.
Gu Lingxiao nodded. Under normal circumstances, he would be happy to be taught by someone who knows him better than he does.
The soldier next to him immediately stepped forward and said, "This is the latest anti-tank sniper rifle developed by our weapons research and development department. It's the Barrett S-11. Its predecessor was the Barrett A-1, but its caliber is 35mm larger than the A-1, reaching 70mm. Equipped with the newly developed high-explosive shells, it's essentially a cannon, and even more powerful than ordinary cannons."
"It can penetrate steel plates with ordinary bullets, and easily penetrate tanks with armor-piercing rounds. Its range reaches 8,000 meters, with an effective range of 5,000 meters. It's also equipped with the latest auxiliary aiming system, allowing for pinpoint accuracy within its effective range."
With the introduction, Gu Lingxiao gained a sufficient understanding of this Barrett rifle.
I'll give it a try.
"sure"
He brought Gu Lingxiao to the shooting range, and following the instructions, aimed at the steel plate in front of him, standing and holding the Barrett without swaying at all.
Touching this cold, massive thing, Gu Lingxiao felt a rare surge of excitement.
Pulling the trigger, a deafening roar followed by an incredibly strong recoil, but Gu Lingxiao remained unmoved as his shoes, crushed by the impact, sank into the ground.
The steel plate was only one kilometer away, and the bullet pierced through it without the slightest deviation.
Gu Lingxiao estimated that this power would have ripped a huge hole in him, but it wouldn't be enough to kill him.
They tried a few more shots and had Gu Lingchuan try them too, but Gu Lingchuan didn't have the same physical strength. He was jolted back several steps by the recoil and his shoulder ached.
He gave a wry smile. "It's not really suitable for me."
But the two soldiers next to them were helpless. This thing had to be placed on the ground while lying down, and shock absorbers had to be added to the shoulders. You two were fighting standing up.
"Try using your superpower," Gu Lingxiao said.
As Gu Lingchuan nodded, the Barrett rose into the air. Weighing 144kg, the Barrett was nothing to Gu Lingchuan. Pulling the trigger, the barrel, like a cannon, spewed out fire, but the strong wind only made Gu Lingchuan's clothes flutter.
The Barrett floated motionless in mid-air, possessing a unique aesthetic appeal.
Although Gu Lingchuan had never used firearms before, he still managed to hit the bullseye with the help of his special ability and the aiming assistance system.
For the next two days, Gu Lingxiao tested the sniper rifle. Until an evolved creature appeared that could withstand the mushroom bomb with its bare body, firearms were still very intimidating.
It can also bring you an unparalleled sense of security.
After Hua Zhiyuan consumed a large amount of the crystals of evolved organisms, his father, Hua Yansong, quickly regained his senses. However, he did not continue to consume the super-power crystals, but instead wanted to conduct research based on his own experience.
The main thing is that although he looks strange, he feels the vitality of his youth, and he feels that he could study for three days and three nights without any problem.
"It's practically a monumental process for humanity to shed its weakness, extend its lifespan, and even achieve immortality!" The fervor in his eyes made Gu Lingchuan realize that his excitement wasn't simply because he had regained his vitality.
It was not so much the excitement of being fortunate enough to participate in opening a new chapter in human evolution.
In addition to its normal hands, it also has six tentacles on its back. Wearing glasses and a research suit, it gave Gu Lingxiao a familiar feeling.
"What a Doctor Octopus," Gu Lingxiao said after a moment of silence.
But speaking of which, I wonder if Lü Ming is still alive.
After thinking for a moment, Hua Yuxin inquired about Yang Hai and Fang Younan. This surprised her. She had heard of Yang Hai before, who was known for his unstable temperament and indifference to others. Why would she inquire about someone she didn't even know well?
"I'll inquire about it first and get back to you later."
Not long after, the news came, and the result was unexpected: both of them became evolved beings, and Fang Younan was even one of the rare light element beings among them.
It can emit white beams in the first stage.
"Tsk tsk tsk," Gu Lingxiao instantly became interested. He had reserved this superpower for himself. What reason should he find to kill her?
Gu Lingxiao was very troubled. He still couldn't bring himself to kill a member of his own clan for no reason. "Lu Ming, don't let me down."
Yang Hai's superpower is rather unremarkable; his beast transformation is merely that of a wolf, whose individual combat strength is not very strong.
Gu Lingxiao wasn't very interested in this. After learning that the military wouldn't attack the giant alien for the time being, Gu Lingxiao decided to go and take a look.
