After Gao Qi finished wiping his gun, he began to dismantle and reload the gun over and over again. Then, he fired the empty gun. After hearing a click, he dismantled the gun and reloaded it again.
The exploration of supernatural abilities was very important, but that was a matter for the future. Right now, the most important thing was for Gao Qi to familiarize himself with the weapons and tools he was going to use.
The scope of the rifle had not been installed yet because it needed to be adjusted. Before the adjustment of shooting, the scope was not as good as the mechanical sight. But now that the pistol could be used, Gao Qi filled the pistol magazine with bullets, hung the pistol on his waist, and covered the holster with his clothes.
Wang Zihao was a man of few words. Other than telling Gao Qi what to do, he did not say anything extra. But now, Wang Zihao suddenly said, "Show the pistol outside. Don't cover it with your clothes. It takes a long time to draw the gun."
This was the first sentence that Wang Zihao took the initiative to say to Gao Qi. Gao Qi was stunned for a moment, but he still untied the holster and tied the holster outside his clothes with a special belt.
It did not look good wearing the gun like this, but it did take a long time to draw the gun. However, the holster was made of thick leather. If he wanted to draw the gun, he needed to open the cover and pull the pistol out. Overall, the speed was faster, but there was a limit.
Wang Zihao stared at Gao Qi's holster for a long time, but he got up and left without saying a word.
Gao Qi was stunned. He felt that there was no way to communicate with Wang Zihao. He did not know how to face Wang Zihao.
Wang Zihao soon came back with a string of things in his hand. After putting it on the table, he whispered, "Use this."
It was a full set of quick-draw holsters, a brown nylon belt with a quick-draw holster on the nylon belt and three holsters for magazines.
Gao Qi was very surprised. He did not expect Wang Zihao to give him a holster.
"For me?"
Wang Zihao said calmly, "Let's try."
After pulling out the pistol and putting it into the quick draw holster, the entire gun handle was exposed. After inserting the magazine into the magazine pocket, half of it was also exposed. However, as soon as he started to use it, he realized that the holster was indeed very fast. In fact, it was much faster.
"Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. This was originally the guard captain's equipment. Now that he's dead, it's naturally yours."
After that, Wang Zihao looked at his watch and said, "It's seven o 'clock. Can we go check the weapons now?"
"Oh, okay, okay."
Wang Zihao was the kind of person who took things very seriously. It was useless to talk too much when dealing with such a person. It was good to do business according to the rules.
Walking out of the room, Gao Qi immediately wrapped his coat tighter around himself. The temperature was probably below zero because Gao Qi saw icicles hanging from the eaves.
"This damned weather …"
Gao Qi couldn't help but curse. Wang Zihao paused for a moment, then turned to him and said seriously, "Something bad is going to happen in this weather."
"What's going to happen?"
Wang Zihao sighed. He finally seemed a little annoyed. Then he said with a puzzled face, "If you have someone above you, why were you assigned here?"
Gao Qi spread his hands embarrassedly, then he smiled bitterly and said, "It's complicated to explain, but I'm the vice-captain. Who knew that the captain would suddenly disappear. Wang Chang, if you have something to say, you can tell me directly. If you need me to do anything, just tell me directly."
Wang Zihao took a deep breath, then he pointed to the wall and said, "It's summer now. It shouldn't be so cold in summer. Everyone knows that something is wrong. Maybe the third catastrophe is coming, and we're a fat piece of meat in the eyes of the nearby Desolate Dwellers. Do you understand?"
"I understand. You're saying that the Desolate Dwellers might attack us?"
Wang Zihao said helplessly, "Isn't it obvious enough? Now is the time for the corn to grow. When the winter comes, the Desolate Dwellers' crops will all freeze to death. There will be no more crops! "
Gao Qi understood. He wasn't stupid. He just didn't connect the cold wave with the crop failure. This was his lack of knowledge. But since Wang Zihao said that the Desolate Dwellers' crops would be no more, he naturally understood what would happen next.
The Desolate Dwellers wouldn't wait until they were hungry to rob them of food. The sense of crisis wasn't exclusive to city dwellers.
"Do we have a lot of food in our farm?"
"We don't have a lot of food, but we have a lot of bullets. And with bullets, we have food."
"I understand, I understand."
After sighing, Gao Qi said with difficulty, "Let's check the ammunition depot first."
The ammunition depot was a small but big room. It was filled with ammo boxes and a gun rack. The rack was filled with rifles.
After entering the ammunition depot, Wang Zihao said in a deep voice, "There are 45,000 5.8mm bullets, 30,000 7.62mm bullets, 26,000 12.7mm bullets, and so on."
Every time he reported the number, Wang Zihao would count the ammo boxes with his hand. After counting the bullets, he pointed to the gun rack and said, "There are 40 Type 95 rifles, 14 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles, 4 Type 95 machine guns, 3 Type 81 light machine guns, 2 Type 85 heavy machine guns in the machine gun base outside, 4 Type 56 semi-automatic rifles that were lost when the guards went hunting, and 5 Type 2 large caliber rifles. That's all."
It was normal to have more guns than people, because the number of people in each farm fluctuated. They could only wait for people with guns, not people with guns.
In addition, there were many types of guns because of their different uses. Take the Type 2 rifle on the gun rack for example. This type of gun was especially large, weighing up to 12 kilograms. It fired 12.7mm bullets and had a magazine with a capacity of 5 rounds. There was no scope on the gun, and there wasn't even a guide for a scope. This was because this gun wasn't a sniper rifle, nor was it a specialized anti-material rifle. It was self-designed by Morning Dawn City during the Alien Beast War. It was aimed at large targets within 300 meters. It was basically at the same level of technology as the anti-tank guns of World War II.
Although this type of gun had been eliminated by the city, in the farms outside the city, the workers had to bring one or two with them when they went out to work in case a large alien beast suddenly appeared.
Other than guns, there were also grenades.
There were quite a lot of grenades in the ammo storage. There were still five boxes, with each box containing 30 grenades. That meant there were 150 grenades in total. However, there were originally ten boxes of grenades. The guards had nothing to do, so they took the grenades to the nearby river to fry fish and used up half of them.
However, these hand grenades were all old-fashioned wooden hand grenades. It was unknown how many of the 150 hand grenades could still explode normally.
Wang Zihao checked the amount of ammo one by one with Gao Qi. Of course, he only needed to count the boxes. It wasn't impossible to count the bullets one by one.
Guns, ammunition, and grenades were common, so Gao Qi definitely recognized them. However, when he saw a box full of green curved flat boxes, he didn't seem to recognize them at all. He casually picked up one of the boxes and saw the words "Face the Enemy" written on the box.
"What's this?"
"Directional grenades. There are still a hundred of them. I think, based on the current situation, it's best that we deploy these directional grenades outside."
Directional grenades were weapons that Gao Qi wasn't familiar with. He asked curiously, "How do we use this?"
Wang Zihao showed a helpless expression again. Then he waved his hand and said, "It's simple. This is facing the enemy, and this is facing the enemy. Just hide it on the ground and pull the pin when you see someone."
"Oh, is this a landmine?"
"This isn't a landmine. This is a directional grenade!"
"Okay, shall we go bury the landmines now?"
Wang Zihao said impatiently, "You're the deputy captain of the guards. If the higher-ups don't send a new captain, then you'll be the captain. It's your responsibility to use these weapons, so I'm just suggesting. You decide what to do."
"Chief Wang, I'm just a fresh graduate. Actually, I was sent here … Forget it, I'll just say it. Now that you're letting me decide on such an important matter, you're being irresponsible to our lives. Since you know the situation here, just tell me what to do. Let's not act like we're in charge, okay?"
Gao Qi was a little angry. He was a student, and he did not understand the outside world. He knew this and admitted it. If Wang Zihao continued to act like he was doing his job by the book, he would make things difficult. So this time, his tone was very harsh and he was not courteous.
Wang Zihao was very surprised. He said in surprise, "You're a university student? You're assigned to the Pioneer Group after you graduate? Are you kidding me? Are university students so worthless? "
"Uh, a liberal arts student."
"A liberal arts student shouldn't be like that. The city spent so many years training liberal arts students. It's impossible for them to be assigned to a farm outside the city to die right after they graduate, right?"
Speaking of this, Wang Zihao suddenly said with a look of sudden realization, "Oh, I understand!"
Gao Qi still didn't understand. He said with a confused face, "What do you understand?"
"You must have offended someone, right?"
"No, I'm just a student. I haven't offended anyone."
Wang Zihao smiled, and then he said with a look of understanding, "Okay, I understand. I understand what's going on. Let's go to Bu Lei first."
Gao Qi was still confused as he asked, "What do you understand?"
Wang Zihao sighed and lamented, "I used to be the manager of the twelfth farm in the outer city. Why was I sent here? It's because I brought my workers here and demanded a raise in their pay. We worked so hard and were so tired, but in the end, we only received the same amount of food as you students. How can this be?"
Gao Qi said blankly, "Then you caused trouble, but I didn't. I just studied and went to class every day. I didn't do anything else."
Wang Zihao shrugged and said, "Then you followed the wrong person?"
"Followed the wrong person? No … Wait, damn! "
Gao Qi clapped his hands and said with a look of realization, "I understand, no wonder!"
Now Gao Qi understood some things, such as why Professor Su was suddenly relieved of his position, why the conversation between him and Professor Su was so incongruous, why Professor Su wanted to give him the last lesson, and why Professor Su looked a little guilty when he looked at him. It turned out that he was implicated by Professor Su.
Gao Qi finally understood why all the liberal arts students were assigned to a farm outside the city.
This time, it was Wang Zihao who asked curiously, "What did you understand?"
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "Nothing, let's go bury the mines."
Wang Zihao reached out and picked up two directional mines. Gao Qi also picked up two. Then, when the two of them walked out of the door of the ammunition depot, Wang Zihao suddenly said, "Don't worry about it, as long as you understand. This is the key to the ammunition depot. From now on, you will be in charge of it. You can lock it."
Gao Qi nodded bitterly. Then, when he took the key to the ammunition depot, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Someone, someone is coming."
Wang Zihao's expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at the highest sentry tower and shouted, "How many people?"
"There should be dozens of people!"
After being stunned for a moment, Wang Zihao suddenly shouted, "The Desolate People are coming, the Desolate People are coming!"
After shouting twice at the top of his lungs, Wang Zihao turned to Gao Qi and said anxiously, "We must not let the Desolate People in, or we will be finished! Quick, get to the machine gun position! "
