While practicing shooting, Ye Zi was also wondering if she could secretly take a gun with her.
Bullets aren't a problem; the leaves can be stored away from the ammunition box each time they come into contact with it. The key issue is the gun.
After pondering for two days, Ye Zi decided to destroy all the guns before leaving, making sure each gun had different broken parts. Then she would store the good parts in her spatial storage and finally assemble a good gun.
That's what Ye Zi thought, and that's what she did. She doubled the number of shots she fired each day, and then used ten bullets with faulty primers to stage a scene where the firing pin was broken, successfully obtaining a bolt.
Other parts were also brought into the space under various pretexts.
Ye Zi suddenly increased the number of shots, and Reba looked at her with concern. The main reason was that the recoil when she fired the gun was unforgettable. Although Ye Zi was strong, the pressure that the recoil put on her shoulder was not to be underestimated.
With such a high volume of shots, if Ye Zi were to injure her shoulder, the impact on her survival would be secondary; what Reba is truly concerned about is preventing irreversible damage.
Having spent so much time together, their relationship has evolved from teammates to friends, so it's only natural for them to care about each other's health.
Ye Zi didn't feel any discomfort regarding the pressure the recoil caused to his body, because his physical strength was on a completely different level from that of ordinary people.
To put it bluntly, Ye Zi's current physical strength is comparable to that of ten ordinary people tied together.
The Thousand-Pound Pill increases not only strength, but also physical resilience.
Ye Zi had some doubts about this matter. Normally, in order to adapt to the immense force of ten thousand jin, the density of Ye Zi's flesh and bones should have increased significantly, and her weight should have increased accordingly, and by a large margin.
But Yezi's weight has remained around 260 pounds.
Ye Zi had also asked the system about this issue, but the system's answer was that the Thousand-Jun Pill only strengthens the bones and flesh, and does not increase density, so it will not increase weight.
This reassured Ye Zi a lot. He could accept becoming a muscular man with the strength of ten thousand jin, but he couldn't accept becoming a monster who would step into a pit with every step he took. Even if he could control his strength, he couldn't control the effects of his weight.
Fortunately, that didn't happen, otherwise the leaf would probably have been sliced up and studied by now.
The concept of innate superhuman strength has existed throughout history. There was the ancient overlord Xiang Yu, who was strong enough to lift a cauldron. A cauldron used for sacrifices weighed at least several hundred kilograms, or even over a thousand kilograms, and he could still lift it.
Li Yuanba, the Prince of Zhao of the Western Prefecture, lamented that the heavens had no handle and the earth had no ring.
The Eight Great Hammers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Four Fierce Warriors of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong—weren't they all born with superhuman strength?
Even the fierce generals of the Three Kingdoms period were all born with superhuman strength.
Without strength, one can only be a lowly soldier. Even with superb skills, one can only be a second-rate general at best. At most, one can make it into the ranks of the first-rate, but how many of them will be remembered in history?
Therefore, the case of someone being born with superhuman strength alone would not attract much attention.
But the phenomenon of stumbling into pitfalls with every step is clearly beyond the scope of human understanding, and it would be unreasonable not to study it.
Although Ye Zi herself didn't understand the issue of strength and density, it was enough that she wouldn't be taken away for research.
Since time travel has already happened, what's the point of figuring it out?
After successfully getting what she wanted, Ye Zi threw the four rifles into the fire and burned them.
The remaining iron parts were mixed with the original, discarded parts, packed into boxes, and taken to the vicinity of the shipwreck site, where they were all dumped into the sea.
The grenades were processed, and what remained were the bullets. Ye Zi kept several hundred that looked fine, while the unused bullets and the obviously unusable ones were also left near the shipwreck site.
The main goal is to destroy the evidence and make it impossible to trace the body.
The reason Ye Zi kept a gun was not because she had any intention of murder or robbery, but simply because she wanted to collect it and occasionally take it out to satisfy her urges.
Men, given the opportunity to hide a gun and the absolute certainty that it won't be discovered, can't resist the temptation.
In the past, when the storage space wasn't activated, Ye Zi wouldn't have even considered buying these things, even if they were right in front of her.
You can't take it with you, there's nowhere to hide it, so no matter how much you like it, it's useless.
After dealing with the gun and ammunition issue, Ye Zi had some more free time. She had things to do in the mornings and could only relax on the island or go swimming in the sea in the afternoons.
On the fifty-eighth day of their island survival adventure, the weather was great. When Yezi went fishing, Reba changed into her swimsuit and followed her onto the boat.
She was bored and wanted to go fishing, or even try swimming in the deep water.
Ye Zi readily agreed, since this was the only form of entertainment they had.
Upon arriving at the location, Yezi went underwater to retrieve the fish basket, baited Reba's hook, and the two began fishing.
They fished for a while but didn't catch a single fish. It wasn't that no fish were biting, but rather that the fish that were hooked were too small and were immediately used as bait by the two of them.
Fishing only ended when Reba couldn't stand the sun anymore and went swimming in the sea to cool off.
Once Reba was comfortable swimming, Yezi pulled her onto the boat and then dived down to shoot fish.
After holding their breath twice and obtaining the fishhook, Ye Zi boarded the boat and began to process the catch.
After cleaning up the catch, I rowed back to the island. I hadn't gone far when the system notified me:
"Host, a large fish is coming."
Ye Zi immediately looked in the direction indicated in her mind, but saw nothing. She then asked:
"How big are the fish? How many are there?"
Ye Zi's first thought was a shark, but he didn't see any fins on the surface of the sea, so he assumed it was some other species. If it were tuna, that would be the best; he wouldn't mind trying some sashimi.
Tuna without dipping sauce is still a top-quality ingredient; he's not picky about food.
"About four and a half meters long, very fast, there's only one."
As they were talking, the small boat was hit—a very violent impact.
Ye Zi was startled and quickly grabbed Reba.
Dilraba asked, looking completely bewildered:
"What's going on? Did we run into a shark again?"
Ye Zi stared in one direction, the opposite of the direction the system had indicated earlier, the spot where the fish in the water had bumped into the small boat and rushed past.
He said in a deep voice:
"I don't know what kind of fish it is, but it's definitely not small."
As Reba spoke, she looked in the direction Ye Zi was staring at, and saw a huge shark fin emerge from the water. She immediately exclaimed in surprise:
"Sharks again? How come I always encounter them every time I go out to sea?"
"Maybe it's because you smell nice, and they like this scent, so they come here by the smell."
"Hurry, it's coming!"
Without Ye Zi saying anything, Reba grabbed the gunwale with both hands the moment she saw the shark fin.
Another violent impact, and Ye Zi immediately began rowing.
This wasn't a thresher shark, the kind whose tail accounts for half its body length, so the damage it caused to the small boat was limited.
This time it was a large shark, to be precise, a great white shark, a great white shark about four and a half meters long, which was fully capable of capsizing the small boat, or even smashing it to pieces, so we had to run.
