Chapter 336: Chapter 334: Awesome and Commanding
The safe was noticeably thicker than the previous ones and was more difficult to weld.
“Since it’s unclear what’s inside the cabinet, we must be careful, in case it’s ammunition or something. A misstep in welding could end in disaster, so we need to find the right balance,” he said.
Having said that, Bi Fang turned off the welding torch and instead pulled out a steel bar, inserting it into the mostly welded gap and prying the safe open little by little.
With a dull thud.
The safe’s lock completely broke, and Bi Fang opened the door to take a quick glance and suddenly couldn’t look away.
Most of the cabinet was empty, but in the corner, there was a faint glimmer of gold!
Seeing Bi Fang frozen in place, the audience grew incredibly anxious. Fortunately, at that moment, the drone changed its angle and captured part of the scene inside the safe.
The online friends held their breath!
In that glowing corner lay a pile of shiny, yellow bullets!
Jackpot!
At that moment, the audience was almost more excited than Bi Fang himself. Those were bullets, real deadly weapons!
“With no firearms, what’s all the excitement for?”
Bi Fang suddenly threw a wet blanket on the audience, instantly cooling their excitement. He sighed.
“Seeing these bullets, I know there must have been guns here before, but someone else must have taken them. It’s a shame. Now with no firearms left, only these bullets remain, and it looks like they’ve mostly been taken, or else it wouldn’t look like this.”
The bullets inside the safe were piled up in the corner and weren’t that many. With a little imagination, the viewers began to picture the scene.
There was an emergency, and the people inside the defensive location could only manage to take away the firearms and open the safe to grab most of the ammunition, hastily leaving behind some in the corner.
As for why it was locked again, perhaps they thought they might return one day?
But looking at the dust on the table…
The audience instantly felt dejected. Had they thought they found something good only to realize it’s useless?
[Damn, I thought we had found some epic loot.]
[Is it of any use holding onto it now?]
[No problem, you can bring it back to give to us, I won’t mind (facetious).]
[Ugly thoughts, pretty dreams. Do you think bullets can be traded like bulletproof vests?]
[You could empty out the gunpowder and give out the casings, that would still be nice.]
[Too bad, now that the city has no electricity, otherwise you could machine a gun barrel.]
Bi Fang grabbed a handful of bullets and observed them in his palm, finding two different calibers, one short and round, the other long and slender: “7.62mm and 9mm standard rounds. The 7.62mm is for rifles, long and slender; the 9mm is for pistols, shorter and rounder. For a factory’s defense force to have rifle bullets is quite preposterous.”
[Wow, is that long one 7.62mm?]
[Why do I feel like the 7.62 has more power than the 9?]
[+1, isn’t it like that in games too? 9mm bullets have the least power.]
[Hahaha, I feel the same, 9mm isn’t up to much.]
A bunch of online friends shared their opinions, but Bi Fang just shook his head, flipping the bullets in his palm and finally stuffing them into his backpack.
“Don’t confuse gaming with reality. Although 9mm bullets are small, they have a large caliber. In close range, they create a larger damage area, and generally, due to their lack of penetrating power, they tend to stay and tumble inside the body, causing the most harm,”
“7.62mm and 5.56mm, although they have more ammo and greater range and penetration, the wounds they inflict are not as harmful to people due to the caliber limitation, so they do not cause as much damage as 9mm.”
“As for why pistol bullets in games are less powerful, even though I have never played, I think this is due to the balance within the game. If a 9mm sub-machine gun had low recoil, a very high rate of fire, and the highest damage in close combat, then other guns wouldn’t get a chance to be used.”
In reality, 9mm bullets are short, meaning they have a shorter range, but their close-range damage is very high, which is suitable for street fighting.
7.62mm and 5.56mm bullets have an extremely long range and a larger effective attack radius, making them more suited for large-scale warfare.
After hearing Bi Fang, the professional’s explanation, the audience suddenly saw the light. That’s how it was.
“But after all, it’s still ammunition storing gunpowder, we should collect it anyway, it might come in handy.”
Once he finished speaking, Bi Fang had already put all the bullets in the cabinet into his backpack, not leaving a single one behind.
The audience couldn’t tell if Master Fang’s luck was good or bad. It was frustrating to finally find bullets, but have no firearms to use them with.
But Bi Fang was happy. With Wilderness Survivalist, contentment breeds happiness, and a positive attitude is very important. It was already great to have found so many pieces of protective gear.
After all, here he was to survive, focusing on defense and preservation of life, not to descend upon the battlefield and slay across Yemen.
So, after Bi Fang had gathered the bullets, he returned to the two other metal cabinets.
Tactical flashlight, dagger, boot knife, all taken. Also, grab two anti-riot helmets; they can double as pots.
Then he took off his jacket and undergarment, and found a bulletproof vest of the right size and put it on. It was heavy, but in that moment, as soon as he donned the vest, Bi Fang’s sense of safety surged.
Facing armed criminals, his safety massively increased after armoring up.
A normal person hit by a bullet, even if not in a critical area, is basically incapacitated due to pain and blood loss; it’s not like movies and TV shows where you can tough it out and pursue enemies for three kilometers. Hence, the bulletproof vest is a necessity.
Next were the tactical boots.
Bi Fang took off his hiking boots and found a pair of brand-new tactical boots of the right size to switch into.
“This survival trip I was wearing hiking boots, but since there are tactical boots available, I think it’s better to switch to tactical boots. Tactical boots have many advantages. They are waterproof and breathable, can partly replace leg bindings by supporting the calf muscles to prevent congestion, protect the ankles from sprains, and can even have a boot knife inserted into them, enhancing safety. The soles are also equipped with puncture-resistant plates, thick and durable. The downside is they are heavier than regular boots because the soles are thicker,”
After changing into tactical boots and inserting a boot knife, donning the bulletproof vest, and reshouldering his backpack, Bi Fang looked completely renewed, an imposing figure.
Almost all the viewers were impressed.
So cool!
Bi Fang was already handsome and imposing, his slightly damp hair neatly combed back, leaving only two strands hanging down from his temples. Tall and commanding, his every step seemed to carry the wind with it.
After putting on the combat suit, this feeling was even more evident – like a tiger in armor, sharp and fierce.
The pair of black tactical boots on his feet looked even more domineering and powerful; the boot knives added an edge of lethality. This was, after all, one of the functions of tactical boots: to boost morale and intimidate by their robust appearance.
[Damn, that gear is way too cool]
[Wow, where can I find those boots? I want a pair too!]
[Dream on, dude. These things need to match the person wearing them. Old Fang has a good physique, full of vitality, and looks that surpass 99% of people. No one else could pull off that look.]
Bi Fang, fully geared up, took a deep breath, reopened the door to the room, and strode away.
The challenge continues.
The journey through Ruins City is far from over!
