Chapter 402: Chapter 328 Trial Shooting_2

The airdrop box contained a total of one hundred rounds of ammunition, which were originally allocated at ten rounds per gun.

Elder Jefferson had said that he was giving sixty rounds to the military, but in actuality, he had handed down six boxes of ammunition, and the three rounds given to Robinson William were taken from one of those boxes.

After all, since he took them out in front of everyone, the military personnel were well aware of the ’shortage’, but since they had already received the lion’s share of both guns and bullets, they didn’t make a fuss over the missing three rounds.

Dong Tianyu put down the sniper rifle in his hand and casually picked up a round of ammunition. Without opening the package, he prepared to use his Divine Sense to investigate the bullet’s structure.

What Dong Tianyu didn’t expect was that his invariably successful Divine Sense was thwarted once again; he never imagined that the metal bullet casing was made of an alloy that could shield against the Divine Sense.

At this moment, Dong Tianyu began to feel that his omnipotent Divine Sense was, in fact, not so extraordinary.

Being blocked by the alloy, Dong Tianyu understood that regardless of the cost of this metal, it was undeniable that the Imperial Court had already achieved mass production.

Dong Tianyu wasn’t surprised by this, as from the moment he obtained the Cave mansion, he knew he was somewhat clever, but there were countless people stronger than him.

Dong Tianyu believed that if he ever encountered someone of supreme intelligence, even if that person plotted against him and sold him out, Dong Tianyu would probably help count the money foolishly during the deal.

It was precisely because Dong Tianyu was self-aware that he did not choose the path of all beings but instead chose the path of self-exaltation.

Since he could not investigate the bullet’s structure with Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu was not frustrated and casually stored all the bullets nearby into his Storage space.

As for the rifle in his hand, Dong Tianyu already had a plan in mind, but since he was supposed to go practice shooting with Robinson William in the afternoon, he temporarily suppressed the thought.

As Dong Tianyu had other matters in the afternoon, he simply joined the Canary for lunch on the Wave Rider, and then left the Cave to comfortably take a nap in his room.

Having eaten early, Dong Tianyu woke up around two o’clock when he rose.

After freshening up, Dong Tianyu headed straight to Madeline’s home.

When Dong Tianyu arrived and knocked on the door of Madeline’s home, Robinson William was already waiting for him in the living room with two other team members.

Seeing the situation inside the house, Dong Tianyu said somewhat sheepishly, "I apologize for being late."

Hearing Dong Tianyu’s apology, Robinson William waved his hand dismissively, "We’ve just arrived ourselves and didn’t wait long."

Curious about the box Dong Tianyu brought with him, Madeline asked, "Why did you bring that out with you? Have you finally decided to let go of that backpack that was like a bag of holding?"

While Madeline was inquiring, Robinson William also noticed the gun case on Dong Tianyu’s back; he had some understanding of Dong Tianyu’s intentions.

"Alright, this isn’t the time for idle chit-chat. We need a proper target to test the gun, and the sooner we leave, the more time we have to find one,"

Since Robinson William had spoken, there was no reason for the others to object, and the group of five left Madeline’s home together. They then returned to the Patrol Office and chose a large pickup truck.

While many models could fit five people, the camp’s exterior was not safe, and if they chose other cars, they could only try to dodge if danger arose.

With a pickup, people could stand in the truck bed, and the person testing the ammunition could shoot directly from there.

If the test failed, the driver could swiftly drive away, enabling them to make a strategic retreat.

The pickup passed through the newly repaired and expanded inner city wall and entered the outer city. The transition did not evoke particular feelings among its occupants.

After all, everyone was a modern person who, despite having experienced several natural disasters, had not yet had their values twisted. They maintained a surface-level mutual respect and equality for all beings.

Following the flow of traffic, the group left the camp with ease.

They had barely left the city when the pickup truck veered off Main Avenue and plunged directly into the forest.

After all, the larger the creatures became, the more lethargic those robust prehistoric beasts tended to be; they would spend most of their time resting in comfortable spots, apart from when they were hunting for food.

Hence, it was only during their feeding periods that people could spot their massive silhouettes from a great distance.

For the most part, when they were at rest, the enormous trees would completely obscure their bodies, only revealing their presence when one came near.

This time, their target was primarily large prehistoric creatures since the manual had made it clear that this device could hunt giant prehistoric beasts.

So, for safety during testing, they voluntarily scaled down a level and chose large prehistoric creatures.

Unfortunately, the area around the camp was not within the territory frequented by large prehistoric beasts, so if they wished to test the weapon, they had to either head north or south.

To the east of the camp lay Pengcheng, while to the west was the former county town of Saxon County. In these two directions, small prehistoric creatures were most commonly seen, and occasionally a medium-sized one would appear, only to be swiftly taken down by private hunting squads.

After all, for the survivors, prehistoric beasts were blessings bestowed by heaven.

Among prehistoric beasts, only a small fraction were inedible after death; the flesh and blood of the vast majority could be consumed.

The pickup headed south, and as it made its way through the forest, it quickly attracted the attention of prehistoric beasts.

At first, only small prehistoric creatures appeared around them, and there was no need to resort to any heavy weaponry, they didn’t even bother using guns.

Aside from Madeline, who was responsible for driving, the others launched a counter-charge against the small prehistoric creatures attacking them.

In a very short span of time, they had annihilated the group of small prehistoric creatures that had planned to ambush them.

Dong Tianyu and his team deliberately piled the bodies carelessly around, and even cut them up.

Dong Tianyu always managed to drain the blood from these bodies while they were still warm because that was the only way to attract prehistoric creatures from farther away.

Along with Dong Tianyu’s sigh, the monster corpses lay discarded everywhere on the ground,

The blood-drenched earth caused Madeline considerable regret; to her, regardless of whether they could attract large prehistoric beasts or not, these corpses left on the ground bleeding out would most likely go to waste.

In this environment of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the first guest had already arrived. Dong Tianyu looked at Robinson William beside him.

Robinson William eyed the prehistoric creature that was foraging and estimated its size; the creature was robust, but at most, it could be categorized as a medium-sized prehistoric beast.

"Shall we take a shot at a medium-sized creature first?"

Upon hearing Madeline’s suggestion, Robinson William ignored it completely and instead turned to look at Dong Tianyu beside him.

Seeing Robinson William’s expression, Dong Tianyu knew what he was thinking.

Robinson William’s current mindset was to take a shot first to warm up, and then to find a huge prehistoric beast to test the weapon—there was no harm in enjoying the thrill of the first shot.

Understanding this about Robinson William, Dong Tianyu candidly laughed and said, "Why not use it for a test shot?"

Hearing Dong Tianyu offer a way out, Robinson William no longer hesitated, took up the gun, loaded the bullet, aimed, and then fired.

Having served in actual combat before the disaster, his movements were smooth and practiced, and the bullet hit the creature’s brain directly.
