189: Drink champagne again
Shen Cangsheng's face was filled with unconcealed joy as he raised the anzio anti-materiel sniper rifle, attempting to aim.
Despite the boost from the m1 muscle injector and his stable grip on the rifle, there was still a slight tremor when handling such a heavy sniper rifle.
"Normally, this should be used with a bipod; no one holds it by hand," Liu Yan explained from the side, then pulled out three m1 muscle injectors from Zhao Chuang's chest rig.
"Or, you can trade it for intelligence," Chen Yu added at this moment.
"We've estimated that, given your intelligence, using three injectors shouldn't have a significant impact."
Liu Yan nodded in agreement.
"Yes, the test was calculated based on the physical enhancers your Brother Chen used."
"Combining it with his personal situation, our accuracy rate for the prediction is about 80%."
"If you're not comfortable, two injections are fine too."
"Otherwise, this sniper rifle can only be used from a prone position with a bipod."
Shen Cangsheng's mouth twitched uncontrollably, his gaze flickering between Chen Yu and Liu Yan.
Trading intelligence for strength... He looked at the red beret on Zhao Chuang's head, which seemed to barely fit his scalp.
Was that damn hat being propped up by his head???
"Absolutely not!"
"If I can't do it, it means my talent isn't enough, so I'll practice repeatedly."
"I will absolutely not trade my intelligence and my head!"
Shen Cangsheng's tone was resolute.
When Liu Yan first mentioned that he could only use the sniper rifle from a prone position, Shen Cangsheng was conflicted.
But after seeing Zhao Chuang, he was no longer conflicted.
He, Shen Cangsheng, the pride of the Third Academy, to cosplay as Diga?
Impossible!
Seeing Shen Cangsheng's stance, Liu Yan shrugged and put away the m1 muscle injector.
Using a sniper rifle from a prone position still had many limitations.
Shooting at aircraft from a distance was fine.
However, against ground targets, if there wasn't a suitable position, it could be quite awkward.
Shen Cangsheng stored the anzio anti-materiel sniper rifle in a turing brick.
Then, he attached the turing brick to his pants' elastic band as if it were a treasure.
Seeing that Shen Cangsheng's prisoner uniform didn't even have pockets, Liu Yan couldn't help but point to the side of the road and ask:
"Why don't you go over there and strip some clothes off a corpse to wear?"
Shen Cangsheng went to pick, and soon, he noticed the corpse of the Bald Japanese man with a beard.
"Who killed him?!"
Shen Cangsheng clenched his fists, looking at the corpse with rapid breathing.
Liu Yan and the others were stunned.
"You two know each other?" Chen Yu's tone was a little unnatural.
"Mm."
Shen Cangsheng's voice was a little cold.
"If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation."
As Shen Cangsheng spoke, he squatted down and began to search the Bald Japanese man with a beard's body.
Before long, he found a mandel brick with colorful ripples attached to it.
It was the one Liu Yan had given him three years ago when he left Location.
After finding this mandel brick, Shen Cangsheng breathed a slight sigh of relief.
After all, it was a gift from Liu Yan; if he had lost it, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself well.
Shen Cangsheng stood up, looking coldly at the corpse on the ground.
"Letting him die like this is too easy for him."
"I had originally planned that if I ever got out, I'd find him and torture him to death using the most brutal methods."
Hearing Shen Cangsheng say this, Chen Yu's hanging heart finally settled.
If this person had been on good terms with Shen Cangsheng, it would have been troublesome.
"Don't worry, he suffered a lot when he died."
Chen Yu stepped forward and placed a hand on Shen Cangsheng's shoulder.
Shen Cangsheng coldly glanced at the corpse, then walked to the side and picked out a set of clothes and pants that fit him and weren't too dirty.
"Liu Yan, Brother Chen, you two were right."
"For some people, being kind to them might ultimately lead to retaliation."
"I was wrong; some people are truly bad."
"He was someone I saved from a group of Soldiers."
"Later, when I opposed the Independent Regiment, and he knew I was a special agent of The Authorities..."
Shen Cangsheng shook his head in self-mockery.
He had initially believed that sincerity would be met with sincerity, and that after telling the other party the truth, they would also open up to him.
He never expected to be framed by the other party as a spy for another faction of the Independent Regiment.
"He was very cunning; he feared that if I died, The Authorities might discover it through a resuscitation ventilator, so he never killed me."
"He knew I was a special agent and would likely be revived by The Authorities."
Everyone nodded; this logic was simple, akin to assaulting a police officer.
"Furthermore, he even considered the military radio."
After speaking, Shen Cangsheng spat twice to the side, his saliva containing remnants of cloth.
"If only we had known you'd encounter such a situation, we would have had Liu Yan shoot you dead with a smoothbore gun."
"And then revived you with a resuscitation ventilator."
Chen Yu couldn't help but interject from the side.
After all, the Location of revival depended on the resuscitation ventilator.
And the smoothbore gun could instantly kill, regardless of distance or space.
Combining these two could have freed Shen Cangsheng from his predicament.
Unfortunately, they didn't know these things at the time.
"It doesn't matter; consider it a lesson for my naivety."
"If I hadn't gone through these two years as a prisoner, perhaps my naivety would have led to even greater consequences in the future."
Shen Cangsheng sighed softly.
At this moment, a female voice sounded behind him.
"Xiao Shen??"
Zhang Ning looked at Shen Cangsheng in disbelief.
The latter turned around, startled, then showed a slight smile.
"Long time no see, Sister Zhang."
Everyone informed Zhang Ning of everything that had just happened and Shen Cangsheng's experiences.
After listening, she looked at Shen Cangsheng with some heartache, saying nothing more, only embracing him.
Although the two always bickered and argued constantly, the age difference was there, and in Zhang Ning's heart, Shen Cangsheng was like her younger brother.
After letting go of Shen Cangsheng, Zhang Ning wiped a tear from the corner of her eye and said to Shen Cangsheng, somewhat exasperatedly:
"Don't run off on your own again; you're not capable and yet you act tough."
Shen Cangsheng didn't retort this time, nor did he argue with Zhang Ning; he simply nodded slowly.
"Mm."
At the same time, the translucent glass sphere in Liu Yan's quantum storage once again took on a different hue.
"No more arguing, now you're getting mushy. How's the important business going?" Chen Yu waved his hand, interrupting the two.
Zhang Ning glared at Chen Yu.
"You know it's important business? Then why did you run off midway?"
"These Independent Regiment members from Xia Country are all very cooperative; only a few, for personal reasons, don't plan to join The Authorities."
Mid-sentence, Zhang Ning looked at Liu Yan.
"The main reason is that they found out your name is Liu Yan."
"They don't recognize your face, but many have heard your name."
"If only we had known your name was so effective, we should have just used your name when we were recruiting the Independent Regiment before."
"So many people died for nothing," Zhang Ning shook her head helplessly.
"I've already reported the headcount and equipment information to Officer Long."
"They will send people in a blue eagle helicopter to pick them up then."
"We're done here; we can prepare to head back."
After Zhang Ning finished speaking, Fuji let out a long sigh of relief.
"Wait for me."
Liu Yan said, then took out four bottles of champagne from his quantum storage and held them in his hand.
Seeing this, Fuji and Zhao Chuang's eyes widened, and Cai Ning, who was nearby, gasped.
"What are you going to do?" Cai Ning quickly stepped forward and held Liu Yan's hand.
Liu Yan looked down at the champagne in his hand.
"I want to see if I can still see past memories after drinking it."
"After all, using ECMO might have more severe consequences, so I can only use champagne."
"Later, I'll take off all my equipment and quantum storage, and then Zhao Chuang will restrain me."
"Without equipment, and with my physical fitness, my subconscious won't be able to cause much trouble, no matter what."
Hearing this, Cai Ning and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you were going to celebrate with a bottle of champagne," Fuji quipped from the side.
Liu Yan shook his head, then found an empty room with no one in it and walked inside.
Zhao Chuang honestly followed behind Liu Yan.
Entering the room, Liu Yan placed his helmet, armor, firearms, mandel bricks, including his quantum storage, all in a corner.
To prevent any noise from attracting Soldiers, Liu Yan had specifically greeted the Soldiers before entering the room.
"Brother Yan, I'm ready."
Zhao Chuang now had his hands open, ready to restrain Liu Yan at any moment.
"As soon as I drink it, you immediately hold me down."
"Okay."
Gulp----
Gulp---
After instructing Zhao Chuang, Liu Yan opened the champagne, tilted his head back, and brought it to his mouth.
