Chapter 161: Xidaying Village
"The gun we have in our hands has two firing modes: semi-automatic and fully automatic. However, it's best not to open fully automatic; the recoil is very large. The effective range can reach four hundred meters, but that far is purely a waste of bullets. I'll first tell you about the most basic safety points..."
After everyone finished eating, except for those on sentry duty, everyone gathered in the convenience store. Zhang Su and Zhao Dezhu, who knew a little about firearms, were explaining the general usage method of the Type 95 automatic rifle to everyone, mainly firearm safety knowledge.
None of them had ever come into contact with this knowledge from childhood to adulthood, but firearms would accompany them for a long time in the future, which was very important. Everyone listened exceptionally seriously.
"I am now demonstrating high-ready and low-ready positions. Watch carefully and practice more. No matter which ready position, it is to be able to enter combat faster. Push, grip, pull, and at the same time push the safety open, shoot..."
"Ah!"
Suddenly, Wu Lue exclaimed, giving everyone present a fright.
"Lue-zi, what are you yelling about?"
Zhang Su was teaching based on the limited experience accumulated from playing CS and was suddenly interrupted rudely, very angry.
"Brother Su, I remembered something!"
Wu Lue pointed to the RV excitedly: "I remember I downloaded a series of videos about rifle usage!"
"Bo-zai, what happened between you and Pei Lan?"
Zhang Su quickly dragged the progress bar to watch. The whole video was teaching, without any flashy content. In the present day, it was absolutely a treasure!
"We just talked about the alert posture. Come, let's follow along and learn. After practicing, we'll look at the theoretical knowledge again!"
"Ah?" Zhang Su lowered the rifle in his hand and asked suspiciously: "You kid have that kind of hobby? Doesn't look like you!"
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Yubo.
The only quadruped rolled its eyes at the crowd, shaking its tail from time to time, bored to death.
Zhang Su had no temper with this former employee of his.
"Nothing?" Zhang Su took a refreshing pee and said: "When you were practicing shooting earlier, you two were a hundred thousand miles apart. This is nothing? Tell me, what happened."
Wu Lue ran to the vehicle in one breath to get the computer, operated it with a clatter, and soon found the video "Teach Real Men How to Shoot" from the corner of the hard drive.
"Damn, you're really something, then hurry up!"
Adjusting the video to the playback position, a small lamp, and over ten people were practicing the use of rifles in the dilapidated, leaky room, clicking and clicking, the scene was quite bizarre.
Clicking on it, it was indeed an overseas firearm usage teaching video, from rifle carrying, adjustment, holding, posture to shooting, etc., even basic troubleshooting was included. The whole video lasted over an hour, quite detailed, all dry goods, without a word of nonsense!
"Alright, this is truly good stuff! Lue-zi has made a contribution. This video is simply the textbook of textbooks, badass!"
Under the corner of the wall, Zhang Su, who was peeing with Lu Yubo, asked softly. He had heard some things these days and hadn't intended to ask, but seeing the matter showing signs of fermentation, he had to intervene.
Zhang Su knew this matter very well because he heard some ambiguous talk between Pei Lan and Chen Hanzhou. He thought Lu Yubo's personality wouldn't care about a woman, but tonight Lu Yubo's gaze at Pei Lan was a bit wrong, carrying resentment. This was a problem.
"Hehe, it was indeed an accident. The title of the video link was 'Teach Real Men How to Shoot'. I must be a real man, so I downloaded it, and as a result..."
Real firearms had an inexplicable attraction to everyone, perhaps because they could give people unprecedented security. Regardless of gender, the enthusiasm for learning was very high, even Mo Qianlan was following the training!
Lu Yubo was secretly startled and said: "Nothing, Brother Su, why are you asking about this?"
"How do you know?"
Time flew by. At 9:30 in the evening, the study ended and they prepared to rest. Considering everyone's low proficiency with firearms, Zhang Su unified all firearms back into the transfer box. If there was any emergency, the sentry posts would notify them in advance, and taking them out to use wouldn't delay anything.
"She told me herself..."
The result didn't need to be said; it was the so-called rifle usage teaching.
Lighting a cigarette, Lu Yubo exhaled a puff of smoke and said depressedly: "Pei Lan likes Little Chen, damn it."
Lu Yubo took a fierce puff of the cigarette, and the fiery red cigarette head made a sizzling sound.
Zhang Su made a strange expression, patted Lu Yubo on the shoulder, and said: "You weren't really that fond of Pei Lan, you just happened to run into it. Think about it carefully, were you just craving her body?"
"This... Brother Su, what you said, it's also right..."
Lu Yubo stammered for a long time and found that he couldn't refute this.
"Later, when we settle down, there will definitely be survivors coming to our door one after another. What's the rush? When the time comes, I'll find you a star!"
Zhang Su didn't want disharmony within the team because of these broken things.
"A star?" Speaking of stars, Lu Yubo instantly became energetic, his eyes glowing: "Brother Su, you said it yourself, I like someone like Dilireba!"
Zhang Su had a row of black lines on his forehead. This kid's brain was really simple, but that was also fine...
"Exotic style, right? No problem. In our area, maybe we can run into A-Mao, A-Bang. Let me tell you, when there are many women, it's annoying. By then, you won't be able to stand it!"
Making a pancake, sprinkling sesame seeds, it was so fragrant that Lu Yubo was buying cola with beauties in his dreams.
The cold North Second Ring Road, a night passed, let alone people, not even a car was seen. Only occasionally a beam of light flashed on some road in the distance, like a lantern in the hands of a lost traveler, trying to illuminate the road ahead.
The next morning, thin mist rose and lingered in the mountains, and the sunlight shone dimly on everyone's faces.
The equipment in the gas station was completely damaged. Even if there was a generator, the equipment couldn't be started, but this couldn't stump everyone. They managed to pump the oil out of the oil tank. Although a lot was wasted, it didn't matter.
All three vehicles were filled with fuel, and a few more barrels were filled. The vehicles were full, the people were well-fed, and the three vehicles set off again.
Except for the drivers and the Corgi Haoyun, everyone held an automatic rifle in their arms, but if you looked closely, you could see that no magazines were loaded. The purpose was to train various movements.
There were quite a few zombies wandering in the countryside on both sides of the road, but because the vehicles were far away and there was no heavy revving of the engine, there was basically no reaction.
Soon, the vehicles turned from the east-west North Second Ring Road to the north-south Beishan Line.
From afar, Zhang Su saw the bridge spanning the Haihe River. Saying it was big, it wasn't really big, over a hundred meters long. The point wasn't that, but the dense roadblocks on the bridge!
This discovery made him frown slowly, and he picked up the walkie-talkie: "Prepare to stop, prepare to stop!"
"This is..."
In the passenger seat, Zheng Xinyu held her gun and looked at the front blankly.
"My god, this, this is too powerful..."
Rows of Czech hedgehogs blocked the middle of the bridge, with zombie corpses stuck on them. A rough count showed at least a hundred or eighty, looking very gruesome.
"What kind of evil formation is this?" Zhao Dezhu asked.
"Could it be that zombie corpses can block zombies from advancing?"
Zhang Su tapped his fingers on the steering wheel, and suddenly his eyebrows raised. Two figures flashed out from somewhere on the other side of the bridge, holding steel forks and shovels.
At the same time, his ears twitched, and he heard the sound of beating basins in the distant village. It should be notifying every household that there was a situation!
In a short while, figures were moving in the village on the other side of the river, and it immediately became active.
"The ones asking for toll fees have arrived."
The people in the car didn't feel surprised. After all, they had encountered similar things at Phoenix International before.
At this moment, everyone's mood was quite relaxed. What was in their arms? Automatic rifles!
"What should we do?"
Zheng Xinyu asked.
"Talk first."
With that, Zhang Su picked up his gun and got out of the car.
One after another, all twenty people got out of the car.
"Brother Su, the villagers here have some skills!"
Lu Yubo walked to Zhang Su's side and said softly.
Zhang Su nodded. People who could survive definitely had some skills; this was nothing.
He looked back at the others. Everyone was using a defensive holding posture, as if they were as nervous as facing thousands of zombies.
"Hey, you guys, be a bit friendlier. We are just passing through, not here to rob things. What are you doing..."
They could break through, but Zhang Su didn't have the idea of breaking through. A village that could set up roadblocks already had the prototype of a safe base. Coupled with the surrounding farmland, it would likely develop slowly in the future. Not to mention industry, at least there was no problem with agriculture. If there was no conflict, they could be allies for trading food.
Hearing Zhang Su's words, everyone felt like they had been enlightened. Almost everyone had gotten one thing wrong.
They only felt that they had to be on guard when they saw people, and that conflict might break out, but in fact, everyone might not be willing to fight easily.
Everyone hung their guns back on their shoulders one after another.
It's just that the previous scene had already been seen by the two people on the other side of the bridge.
Zhang Su led the group to the middle of the bridge, waved at the opposite side, and said: "Two uncles, we came out of the city and plan to continue north. Make it convenient for us."
"You have too many people. I can't make the decision. Wait for our village chief to come over before talking!"
The middle-aged man holding the steel fork responded loudly, his eyes full of deep vigilance.
It didn't make Zhang Su's group wait too long. A man in his fifties led more than ten villagers holding various farm tools to the bridge.
"I am the village chief of Xidaying, Ma Changshou. You plan to go north?"
Ma Changshou, wearing a Lenin hat and leaning on a sharpened iron hoe, stared cautiously at Zhang Su's group on the other side of the Czech hedgehogs. He had already learned from the villagers that the group opposite suspectedly had firearms.
"That's right, we plan to go north. We have no intention of disturbing you."
Zhang Su very politely opened a pack of cigarettes to show it, and then threw it to the opposite side.
Someone beside Ma Changshou picked up the cigarette pack and showed it to him. He took one out and lit it, saying: "Young man, the zombies nearby were all killed by us one by one. Many fellow villagers paid with their lives for this. If you want to pass through here, pay some supplies, and we will move the Czech hedgehogs immediately."
Zhang Su had long known the other party's intention, and didn't beat around the bush, raised his hand and said: "Village Chief Ma, name your price."
He could see that these people weren't doing this for the first time, and they were very familiar with it. They must have been well-informed about the information outside and were prepared for a long-term battle.
Ma Changshou's wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes. He scanned the three vehicles behind Zhang Su and pointed to the Faulkner Mefu: "The vehicles are your means of transport, I don't want them. Give us all the supplies in that vehicle, and you can pass."
