Chen Dalong, leading his subordinates, directly went to the City Guard Department and submitted an application.
“The documents are checked and have no errors. They’ve been registered for you,” a soldier sitting at the registration desk glanced up at the five people before him, his brows furrowing slightly when he saw the tattoos on their bodies, showing a clear distaste.
But still following the process, he continued, “You must understand that each gun has its unique rifling and serial number, some things can’t be hidden.”
“So you need to take responsibility for every shot you fire. My suggestion is that you should buy a recorder; submitting the video is the most convenient for subsequent audits.”
“If there’s no video to bring back, mutated being carcasses can also suffice. But without either, your battle report will be difficult to write.”
“If you can’t explain the whereabouts of the bullets, you’ll not only have your firearms permit confiscated, but you’ll also face punishment,” the soldier said with a significant increase in his tone at the last sentence, implying a warning.
“Understood, understood, we are all aware of that, don’t worry, we are law-abiding good citizens. We’re also contributing to the country this time,” Chen Dalong replied with continuous laughter.
“Alright, this is your proof. With this, you can go to the logistics department and collect 5 hunting rifles and 150 bullets,” the registration officer said, not saying much more, handing over the documents directly.
Chen Dalong left the registration office with his four men and headed towards the logistics department.
“Boss, this is really annoying! Having to write a report for firing a shot, it feels like he’s giving us a hard time,” Li Huosheng said in a lowered voice at this moment.
“It’s not giving us a hard time, it’s just an attitude problem. These are their internal rules,” Chen Dalong shook his head unconcerned.
At that moment, Zhang Chenggang, walking on the other side, also lowered his voice and said, “Hey! You have to write a report if you use their bullets, but if you don’t use theirs, you won’t. I know a place in the underground market where you can buy bullets of various calibers.”
Chen Dalong glanced at him and said, “Don’t you all think about all these messy things. We’re carrying out a normal mission this time, not going around shooting illicitly. Just do it in an aboveboard manner.”
“Later, I’ll buy each of you a miniature camera to wear on your person. Make sure to keep it turned on throughout.”
The process of collecting the firearms went smoothly; each person received a hunting rifle and was issued 150 bullets, including 50 armor-piercing rounds.
Obviously, the armor-piercing rounds were prepared for dealing with large mutated animals.
These hunting rifles were actually converted from rifles, but instead of being fully automatic, they were semi-automatic.
For novices, semi-automatic might be more user-friendly. After all, with 150 bullets distributed among five people, that’s 30 per person, just enough to fill a magazine.
If they were fully automatic rifles, in a tense situation, one might keep pulling the trigger, emptying the magazine in a burst, and then be stupefied.
It’s worth mentioning that when they received the rifles, they all had the opportunity for one training session, where each person could practice with 5 bullets at the shooting range.
Of course, this was more about them getting used to the recoil rather than actual training, so they wouldn’t be caught off guard when they fired.
As for whether Chen Dalong and his people could shoot, of course, they could.
Thanks to global animal mutations, certain industries had rapidly developed.
Take shooting ranges, for instance – they popped up like bamboo after rain in cities all across the country.
Chen Dalong had also organized his subordinates to train a few times.
After several trips, they certainly knew how to shoot; whether they were accurate was another question.
Hitting a target within 3 meters wasn’t a problem.
As for anything further, it would depend on one’s grip and luck at the time.
But according to Chen Dalong, even if one’s marksmanship was poor, putting the gun barrel against an opponent’s head before shooting was better than charging with a cold weapon.
After receiving the firearms, Chen Dalong told the others to go back to the company to get equipment, while he took four of his trusted men to an electronics city.
There, he selected a high-definition recording device worth 5000 yuan that could be carried around, and bought five of them.
“Boss, why did you get such expensive stuff? Just buying a regular one for five or six hundred would have been enough to get by,” Li Huosheng couldn’t help but say.
“Hey, you just don’t get it! With a high-definition camera, we can capture the ferocity of those mutated beings crystal clear. With these videos in hand, we can totally exaggerate the difficulty a bit, then jack up the price,” Chen Dalong said with a smile.
“Even if they can’t pay, getting us a few more gun licenses would be good too,” Chen Dalong said, laughing.
“Boss is mighty!” The rest of the people were impressed and quickly started slinging flattery.
Half an hour later, Chen Dalong returned to the company and looked at the 20 best operatives standing in front of him.
By this time, they were truly fully armed, mostly wielding customized and sharpened swords and spears.
It was only now possible; half a year ago, no one would have dared to carry these things openly.
Besides the weapons, each person was wearing a bulletproof vest, camouflage pants on the lower half, a military helmet, as well as arm guards, knee pads, and army boots—armed to the teeth.
In contrast to the cold weapons, these protective gears could be directly purchased online.
“I won’t bother with a big speech, the money has been sent out in advance. After this mission, I’ll treat you guys to good food and drink,” Chen Dalong declared.
“The target is Sunset Valley, let’s move out!” Chen Dalong called out loudly.
…
At this moment, Ye Feng was very relaxed. After harvesting a wave of Spiritual Energy, he began scrolling through his phone again.
This leisure time lasted until 9 PM when a sparrow on lookout duty outside sent a warning through their contract, pulling Ye Feng away from the joy of his show.
Ye Feng had always been wary of the research institute, so he made a point of stationing an operative on the highway leading to and from Sunset Valley for long-term surveillance.
Anytime they spotted a vehicle or person, they were to notify him.
Of course, almost every alert Ye Feng got before now had been about transportation convoys, but even so, he never let his guard down.
That’s why, when he received the sparrow’s alert, he immediately exercised his possession ability and shifted his consciousness there.

This time, when he saw the approaching bus slowly driving down the highway, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This was not a transport convoy, and somehow, the bus looked hauntingly familiar.
Indeed, just a few days ago, they had taken a similar vehicle aiming to collect samples from Small Phoenix Mountain.
“I hope I’m wrong, otherwise it’s bad luck for you,” Ye Feng muttered to himself.
If these were people from the research institute, whether coming to him or heading to Small Phoenix Mountain, he had to find a way to stop them.
After all, the secret of the Old Chinese Scholar Tree turning into a spirit couldn’t be exposed.
While Ye Feng watched, the approaching vehicle stopped slowly before Sunset Valley, and then twenty fully armed men got out.
Especially when Ye Feng saw the firearms in their hands, his gaze became even sharper.
“Huh, seems they’ve come prepared! What a coincidence, so have I.”

I was supposed to ask for it yesterday, but I forgot. Crying~
