Chapter 5
After making a decision
""Who can take me to the ammunition depot? I want to check it out." Du Fei stood up and said.
The female soldiers who were eating looked towards Liu Ruobing and Xia Ying.
Liu Ruobing rubbed his temples, Xia Ying put out the cigarette butt, pouted and said nothing.
Oh, this student is really a headache.……
""Captain, this is our living area, and the ammunition depot is in the air-raid shelter next door."
Liu Ruobing stood up. She felt that Du Fei was bored, so she said,"It's dark outside. It's not safe to go out now. I'll take you to see it tomorrow.""
"I must find out the weapons and equipment of the field regiment now. Don't forget that I am the regiment commander." Du Fei stared at Liu Ruobing and said with a frown.
Seeing Du Fei's tough attitude, Liu Ruobing was speechless.
Although Du Fei was just an inexperienced student, he was the regiment commander appointed by the Federation after all.
Liu Ruobing had no choice but to say to Sun Xiaoqian who was in charge of the ammunition depot:"Since the regiment commander wants to check it out, you should go with him."
Then, he whispered in Sun Xiaoqian's ear:���Just show him, those ammunition are our lives."
"I understand."
Sun Xiaoqian nodded, then puffed out her chest and said,"Don't worry, deputy leader, I will protect your safety."
After that, she came to Du Fei and saluted,"Hello, leader, my name is Sun Xiaoqian, please follow me."
……
At the entrance of the air-raid shelter, a heavy old-fashioned password gate was tightly closed.
Sun Xiaoqian stepped forward, grasped the metal wheel, and began to spin it.
3, 5, 9, 7...
Due to the special situation, Du Fei could only memorize the password secretly.
As the password turned to the corresponding position, the gate opened with a click.
At this moment, it was pitch black outside, and the roars of animals could be heard in the distance.
Due to the rampage of ferocious beasts at night, the field regiment only set up surveillance devices outside the air-raid shelter, and did not station soldiers on duty.
""Captain, we need to move faster."
Sun Xiaoqian held the detector in her hand. Although it showed that the area was safe, she still reminded carefully.
After that, she quickly walked towards the ammunition depot next door.
Du Fei followed behind and passed by a pile of rocks. He inadvertently found that the rocks were a bit abnormal.
Many of them were covered with silver stars, flickering faintly in the dark night.
【Ding! Mithril ore detected, rare substance, mithril can be refined. 】
The system prompt sound suddenly rang in my mind.
Huh?
Are these stones mithril ore?
【Description of Mithril: Everyone in the world will fight for it. It is an indestructible magical metal.】
【Can be used to make mithril bullets or arrows, which are lethal to all living things.】
【Can be used to make defensive armor, as light as a feather and as strong as a dragon scale】
【Its beauty is like pure silver, its luster will not fade with time.】
【Click to expand more……】
"Good stuff, definitely a rare substance……"
Du Fei was ecstatic.
Seeing him stop, Sun Xiaoqian urged him impatiently:"Captain, can you hurry up?"
"……"
Du Fei calmed down and followed her to the ammunition depot.
As Sun Xiaoqian turned the metal wheel, Du Fei once again secretly wrote down the password.
The gate opened.
Click!
Sun Xiaoqian turned on the backup power switch, and several wall lamps lit up in the huge cave.
Du Fei walked in and began to check all the weapons and equipment, while Sun Xiaoqian stayed with him.
"This... is all?"
After a round, all he saw were old and bulky weapons, extremely backward.
Two broken mountain motorcycles were parked in the corner. Except for a few shoulder-fired grenade launchers and a few machine guns that were still usable, the rest was a pile of broken copper and iron...
The only valuable thing was the few remaining ammunition.
More than 500 20mm caliber cannon shells, more than 1,000 caliber 7.62mm machine gun shells, more than 1,500 ordinary bullets, 150 kilograms of gunpowder...
Du Fei felt exhausted, not just poor.
This amount of ammunition was too shabby. If he really went to the battlefield, it would not be enough to fight for five minutes.
However, Du Fei's mind was working quickly and he soon came up with a plan.
"Although there are only about 3,000 rounds of ammunition left, fortunately there are 150 kilograms of gunpowder, so we can make more bullets."
"The most important thing is that the stones outside can be refined into mithril"
"With Mithril, you can simply convert ordinary bullets into Mithril bullets"
"In this way, there is hope that the Blackwater River mission will be completed tomorrow.……"Du Fei thought to himself.
But.
From Sun Xiaoqian's expression and behavior, he could tell that she was guarding against thieves.
What did this mean?
It meant that in the eyes of the soldiers, he was just a young man and not good enough to convince them.
If he told them that he could make mithril bullets, they would probably think he was crazy.
Because the world has not yet mastered the technology to refine mithril.
Although the top federal legions have a very small amount of mithril, it is only naturally formed mithril particles.
Naturally formed mithril particles are pitifully rare, which shows how precious mithril is in this world.
"It's a pity that I don't have reputation yet, otherwise I could see what good things are in the technology library.……"
There was no other way, so he could only make a batch of mithril bullets by himself.
After a quick inspection,
Du Fei followed Sun Xiaoqian and left without making a sound.……
……
In the air-raid shelter, the female soldiers turned off the lights early and fell asleep.
Liu Ruobing and Xia Ying lived next door to Du Fei, and they finally finalized the battle plan.
"Yingbao, tomorrow's task, I think……"
Liu Ruobing pondered for a moment, looked at Xia Ying and said,"Considering your physical condition, I want you to stay at the camp."
""Fuck, what are you doing? Are you insulting me?"
Xia Ying rolled her eyes and blew a puff of smoke on Liu Ruobing's face:"My physical fitness is no worse than yours!"
"My mother is also better than you, if you don't believe me, untie it and compare it……���
As she said this, she pushed Liu Ruobing down and prepared to unbutton her clothes to compare the size.
"Ah... stop it, you little bitch……"
"Who is bigger?"
"You are big, you are big……"
"Are you convinced?"
"I'm convinced. I'm convinced.……"
"Hahaha……"
The two of them played around for a while, then sat on the ground with disheveled hair, a trace of sadness in each other's eyes.
"Yingbao, tomorrow will be a battle with no hope of survival, and you may not come back.……"Liu Ruobing said
"I know, if we die, we die together."
Xia Ying nodded, stood up and patted Liu Ruobing on the shoulder:"Go back to sleep first."
After that, she went out and returned to her room.
Liu Ruobing sighed lightly, closed the door and prepared to go to bed.
Before going to bed, she seemed a little worried, took out the communicator and asked:"Xiao Qian, what's the situation with that student?"
"Don't worry, Sister Ruobing, I will personally take him back to his room. He will probably be asleep by now." Sun Xiaoqian replied
"That's good. Go to bed early. I'll leave him to you tomorrow."
"yes!"
