Chapter 448 – Thor

Lucy was stunned by the sudden turn of events. Taking advantage of the fact that the Zombies hadn’t yet dispersed, she quickly returned to Century City.

At this time, Ling Mo was already eagerly sorting through the supplies.

Although it took some effort, none of the promised rewards were missing.

“It seems that those few humans were acting on their own initiative, right?” Black Na sneered and said.

Nana nodded and replied, “Yeah, otherwise, there wouldn’t have been a need to prepare these supplies from the start.”

“These humans… always think they can take advantage,” Li Yalin snorted in displeasure.

“Just like Zombies chase after prey, many humans chase after profit,” Nana said. “Isn’t that quite normal? And many believe their daydreams will come true until they suffer a loss.”

“Nana’s words, with her human emotions, always make so much sense…”

A few minutes later, Lucy burst through the Rooftop door, panting heavily and pale-faced.

Seeing her appear, Nana retreated into Black Na’s shadow, merging to become Xia Na.

However, Lucy couldn’t see this bizarre scene at all.

Even though he had seen it several times, Ling Mo couldn’t help but rub his forehead and cough lightly.

He always thought of strange things whenever he saw the merging…

Lucy panted heavily, hands on her knees, staring at Ling Mo: “What… what happened…”

“Obviously,” Ling Mo shrugged and said.

“This…” Lucy looked in the direction of the Helicopter explosion. The building was now on fire, like a giant chimney, continuously emitting thick black smoke.

“They actually did such a thing… They must have thought they could take you out, right? After all, among you, only one or two seem strong, and you don’t appear to have any ranged attack methods. And they were in a Helicopter…”

After catching her breath, Lucy stared at the burning building, her expression complex, and said, “You’re so powerful. It’s not just them who were surprised; even I was shocked. You never cease to amaze me…”

“Haha… That’s right,” Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit proud. After all, the threat had been eliminated…

“But…” Lucy’s tone suddenly shifted, and she turned to look at Ling Mo with a strange expression, “You blew up the Helicopter. How am I supposed to get back now?”

“Uh…” Ling Mo’s expression became awkward, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

Ten minutes later.

“They really gave you guys a Sniper Rifle…”

Lucy pulled out a Sniper Rifle from her backpack, quickly disassembled and examined it, then threw it back with a sneer: “This… is purely for show. It’s worthless and hasn’t been used in a long time. Who knows if it can still fire properly.”

“Like a prostate issue?” Xia Na asked.

“Uh… that’s not wrong, but… it’s very weird…”

Lucy turned her gaze to the Sniper Rifle at Ling Mo’s feet and suddenly brightened up, asking, “Is this the Sniper Rifle you just took? From that Sniper?”

Saying this, she picked up the rifle, examined it, and tested its feel.

“Although I didn’t handle guns during peacetime, my Superpower is rather useless, so after collaborating with the Air Force Corps, I’ve been practicing using firearms. Even though I eventually chose the Machine Gun, I did learn about Sniper Rifles. This rifle should belong to One-Eye, also known as Yan-Ge. He’s quite famous in the Air Force Corps, often causing trouble, and has had several conflicts with our Base. Simply put, he’s the type who bullies the weak and fears the strong. But this time, it seems he’s not just a bully but also quite ruthless…”

Holding the rifle, Lucy said, “The Air Force Corps probably sent him because he’s a troublemaker, and they might have hoped he could take action if he found you easy to deal with.”

“Too bad their plan backfired completely,” Ling Mo sneered.

“This rifle is a good one. It used to sell for nearly 300,000, and now it’s even rarer. Developed independently by our country, it has a long range and great power.”

She took out a pack of bullets from her backpack and examined them, saying, “Fortunately, the bullet caliber is the same; otherwise, such a good rifle would be wasted. There are 50 bullets here, enough to last a while.”

“A Sniper Rifle worth 300,000…” Ling Mo was taken aback for a moment, then immediately took the rifle and caressed it, “What a treasure!”

“Careful, your greedy nature is showing…” Xia Na, who had already merged, commented from the side.

Ling Mo carefully examined the rifle while listening to Lucy continue her introduction: “By the way, I heard this rifle is named Thor.”

“It’s not even a hammer…” Ling Mo rolled his eyes, “Who comes up with these names…”

“Do you have room to talk?” Li Yalin asked.

Ling Mo naturally ignored her comment and handed “Thor” to Ye Lian: “This rifle is for Ye Lian. Lulu, can you teach her? Including how to disassemble and assemble it…”

“Huh?”

Lucy looked troubled: “Even if she learns now, a Sniper Rifle isn’t something just anyone can use… I practiced for a long time, but even so…”

Training a good Sniper isn’t easy. Accurate shooting and precise judgment are crucial. In some battles, a Sniper can play a decisive role.

If One-Eye had been hiding over a thousand meters away for an ambush, the outcome might have been entirely different.

No matter how strong Ye Lian’s close combat skills are, it’s impossible for her to transform into a Sharpshooter the first time she handles a Sniper Rifle, right?

However, after teaching her, Lucy was astonished to discover that this seemingly dazed girl had an incredible memory!

With the Zombies’ photographic memory, Ye Lian learned how to use the Sniper Rifle and how to disassemble and assemble it in a very short time after just watching once.

“Amazing! If there were a competition, this speed would definitely be first place!”

Lucy exclaimed.

“I… I’ll give it a try…”

Ye Lian raised the rifle and aimed ahead.

“Even though you assembled it quickly, suddenly wanting to shoot… and with this recoil…”

“Bang!”

A dull thud rang out, and a distant billboard suddenly wobbled, then fell. The sound of the billboard crashing down masked the sharpness of the gunshot, and the Zombies that were about to rush in turned and ran toward the falling billboard.

“Holy crap… That must be at least a few hundred meters away… And it took down such a large rooftop billboard with one shot. The power and accuracy are terrifying…” Ling Mo exclaimed, eyes wide as he stared into the distance.

Lucy was stunned, and after a while, she mechanically turned her head to look at Ye Lian with a Monster-like gaze: “I must not have slept well last night…”

Ye Lian smiled slightly and tilted her head: “It’s my first time using it, still getting used to it…”

“Hearing that is really comforting…” Ling Mo pounded his chest.

“But why do you still look so shell-shocked?” Xia Na laughed.

“From now on, this rifle will be Ye Lian’s. Her talent is long-range shooting, and it would be a waste not to utilize it. Plus, Ye Lian has a natural advantage in Stealth…” Ling Mo patted Ye Lian’s shoulder with a smile.

“So, it’s all down to talent, huh?” Lucy was still in shock.

Besides the Sniper Rifle, there were plenty of other supplies. Though some were of mediocre quality, they were barely enough for Ling Mo’s needs, at least to address the immediate crisis.

“Supplies are getting harder to collect these days, especially food…” Ling Mo sighed and turned to Lucy, “Even though I took down the Helicopter… I still have things to do in X City. So…”

Lucy took a step forward, closer to Ling Mo, without saying a word.

Though she remained silent, her meaning was clear.

“What I’m going to do is very dangerous…”

“It’s a death wish you’re fulfilling…”

“Hey, give me some response…”
