There’s one right next to you.\" Joseph yelled as he started driving the helicopter forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking over to the side, Xiaoyun was a little surprised to see a brand new gun, one that looked very similar to some sort of sniper rifle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the massive box magazine indicated it was more of a light machine gun than anything with its bipods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Joseph, what kind of gun is this? Also, why is this helicopter so shaky?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the constant metal clanks started to make him more and more nervous, on top of the helicopter needing to be tilted downward to move ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just a small flaw... Boss, can you try to shoot the target down there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clanking sound disappeared as the helicopter came to a relative stability in the air, allowing Xiaoyun to grab the brand new gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just looking at it for a bit, he found the firing pins. With a push, he was now able to free-fire the gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a bit hard...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun murmured as the outside wind kept preventing him from opening his eyes fully, on top of the gun’s awkward design on the buttstock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine if you miss boss, I won’t laugh——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the gunshots interrupted Joseph’s voice, the target dummy was being ripped into pieces as bullets rained from above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire rate of the gun was much faster than what Xiaoyun had imagined as he held down the recoil through sheer strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After just what felt like a minute of firing, the clunk sound reminded him that the gun was now out of ammo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God damn, this gun is impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaoyun complimented as the barrel looked barely overheated compared to the typical MG-42 used in the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it has to be impressive. It took us days and nights working overtime to build it from looking at a single picture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the helicopter began slowly descending, it suddenly jerked forward before some weird warning noise began going off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bylat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiaoyun could ask what was wrong, he could see the helicopter’s rotor blade had stopped spinning completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit tight, boss——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The loud crash instantly yanked the two of them upward before the seatbelt instantly held them back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of their ears felt a loud shockwave as it kept on ringing. Unable to hear any noises as the whole world started spinning around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss! Joseph! Are you two okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two Russians quickly rushed forward to unclip Xiaoyun and Joseph from their seats, the two of them slowly recovered from the dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m fine... Is Joseph okay?\" Xiaoyun asked as he pressed his finger down onto his temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joseph, are you fine?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him slowly nodding his head, both of them let out a sigh of relief as they helped them back up from the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, shame that helicopter ride didn’t go as planned. But it’s all fine. Don’t let this failure deter you guys from progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three Russians nodded, but their faces still looked a little embarrassed by the disaster. A disaster that could have ended extremely badly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep improving it, and I’m sure one day I’ll be ordering tens. No, hundreds of helicopters from you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The potential order instantly changed the grim mood as they looked much more cheerful at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, are you really going to buy the helicopter?\" Ivan nervously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am. It’s a critical component that makes a modern army. Just imagine close-ground support with missiles and gunfire raining down from above.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them began to look a little excited before a loud clanking sound from the distant snapped them back into reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It still has a long way to go, though. So don’t get too excited now... Ahem, do you guys have any other things you want to show off to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Joseph, did you show Boris’s gun to Boss already?\" Ivan quickly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah. How else do you think that training dummy got blasted?\" Joseph instantly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, let me show it to you again. This is the pinnacle of all machine guns. It’s so good that it’s even still used to this day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Boris went back into the storage room, Xiaoyun’s mind suddenly got a little curious about something looking in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I almost forgot to ask, how’s your guys’ vehicle experiment? Are the armor cars and the tanks fully functional?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, the light tank and the armored car are fine... Joseph’s T-34 is still struggling with the battlefield test, though.\" Ivan responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Ivan looked over to Joseph, his face looked a little embarrassed once again before he spoke up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The engine just keeps overheating. Unless I ripped out those semi-truck’s engine or those tractor’s engine as a replacement, it just doesn’t work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s fine, to be honest. You guys are gunsmiths, not a car engineer. Just send the request to Houqin. She can give you whatever engines you need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joseph nodded, but his face still looked a little disappointed by the failure he couldn’t overcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here it is. The PKM! The most widely used modern machine gun. Straight out of the Cold War, yet still more useful than any other weapons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Boris came out with the same machine gun that Xiaoyun used earlier, he quickly realized why the gun felt so familiar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost the exact same as the gun that Pinli and Chengyi used in their games back in the dorms, except it was a sniper rifle rather than a machine gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a sniper rifle version of this? I think I had seen this somewhere.\" Xiaoyun curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You must be thinking of the SVD. That’s a completely different gun. But it does have the same buttstock at the end here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see... Ahem, can you show me how this gun is properly used?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, what do you think of this gun?\" Boris curiously asked as the two of them shot the gun several times in different usages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s definitely a lot better than MG-42. The barrel doesn’t overheat, and it’s much lighter to carry around.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the praises, all three of their faces looked excited. Even more so than the earlier potential helicopter orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The maintenance you showcased earlier looks much easier than the MG-42 as well. Definitely saves a lot of energy not needing to carry spare parts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The continued praises continue to push their hopes even higher, until the next message that almost extinguishes them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would say there is one critical flaw... It doesn’t shoot as fast. But that could also be a benefit to conserve more ammo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their heart jumped for a second as they thought it was all over, until the last second sentence reassured them once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Overall, this gun is superior in every way to Anna’s gun. I’ll tell Houqin to place orders to phase out the MG-42.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three of them jumped up in excitement as if they couldn’t believe their ears. A multi-million dollar contract for months to come was right before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is one last thing, though. How much does this cost?\" Xiaoyun raised his one last concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, sir, this thing is dirt cheap to make. We’ll give Houqin the cheapest price possible.\" Boris instantly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can guarantee it’s 2x lower price than the MG-42. This thing is the easiest thing to mass produce.\" Ivan quickly added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s good, that’s good... Ahem, I almost forgot the reason that I came here today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Xiaoyun cleared his throat, all three of them were a little intrigued by what he was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have a very big deal. One that could make you guys millions. No, billions. You guys could be the most wealthy company with this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it, sir?\" Joseph curiously asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys heard about the opening up of the stock market in the newspaper yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Joseph and Ivan shook their head, but Boris instantly realized what Xiaoyun was trying to imply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, are you suggesting that we should go public?\" Boris questioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys don’t want more money to expand even bigger? Hire more people to have an even bigger assembly line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all three of them looking a little hesitant, Xiaoyun quickly knew he needed something more to lure them in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, let me tell you guys a little secret... Don’t tell this to anyone, especially my wivies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he pulled the three of them closer, they quickly realized it was going to be some very important secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We s-swear on Jesus we won’t tell anyone about it.\" Boris instantly replied, with the other two saying the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good... Anna and Kate have already told me she’s planning to IPO with 40% of her company stock.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing all three of their eyes widen for a second, Xiaoyun knew they just needed a tiny little push to get over the line.\u003C\u002Fp>",1526,"2026-06-10T06:59:53.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","5e4cf29472634895110526e1487f99d01c336b0752c89ad46736a202ef0ae9d0","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-803","zombie-apocalypse-creation-chapter-653",829,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fzombie-apocalypse-creation-cover.jpg"]
