416: Avery's amazing performance
Fine, then why are you still crying!
I can stop crying! Let's go right now, I'll be the driver.
Without another word, Lao Liu snatched the car keys and rushed to the driver's seat.
He was terrified that everyone would leave him behind again. After getting into the car, he fastened his seatbelt tightly, determined not to get out even if the King of Heaven himself came.
Pan Han winked at the two women, then got into the car.
Commander, where are we going?
Lao Liu gripped the steering wheel tightly, as if it were his lifeline.
To the nearby hill. We're going target shooting.
Alrighty! handsome and beauties, let's set off!
Vroom! The car sped off, kicking up dust several meters high, and headed straight for the back mountain.
Brother Liu, slow down. Ai Li just arrived at our base. You're going to scare her.
Seeing Lao Liu driving so recklessly, Cheng Xiao couldn't help but tap him on the shoulder from the back.
Sister, it's okay! I actually quite like it.
Ellie quickly reassured her.
For one, she had just arrived in the apocalypse and was interested in everything. Secondly, Lao Liu was the type of person you just couldn't hate. And thirdly, she was now an Intermediate Evolver, so the bumps in the car were nothing to her.
Hehe! Seventh Sister, did you hear that? Ai Li said it's fine.
As Lao Liu said this, he pressed down hard on the accelerator, pushing the speed to 250.
At this point, even Ellie couldn't stay calm anymore.
Is the driving speed in this world always this fast?
Pan Han turned his head to look at Ellie: "When it comes to driving, I only admire the apocalypse! Everyone here is a speed demon."
"Little sister, in our place, a speed of 250 isn't really anything." Cheng Xiao explained that it was because of the car.
Ellie nodded blankly, thinking that there were many things worth studying here, so she would have plenty to keep her busy even when Pan Han wasn't around.
Ten minutes later, the four of them arrived in front of a small hill.
Calling it a small hill was relative to the apocalypse; in Pan Han's world, it would be at least a thousand-meter-high mountain.
There were no zombies here, but there were quite a few mutated beasts.
"Come on, let's fire a few shots to test it out." Pan Han took out the weapons, placed them on the ground, and let the two women begin.
Cheng Xiao nodded, hauled out the 30mm cannon, and held it directly with both hands.
"Holy crap! Seventh Sister, are you sure you want to shoot it like that?" Seeing the situation, Lao Liu hurried forward to stop her.
"What's wrong, Brother Liu?"
"This thing is 2.5 meters long and weighs nearly two hundred kilograms! Not to mention the recoil. Are you crazy?" Lao Liu said, looking anxious.
"Didn't I just pick it up?" After saying that, Cheng Xiao shook the weapon in her hand to show it was no problem.
"That won't work either. People usually mount these on patrol boats for fixed use. If you get injured from the recoil, what are we going to do?"
Pan Han sat in the car smoking, not participating, just feeling that Lao Liu was acting a bit strange today.
He hadn't noticed him being this concerned about Cheng Xiao before.
What's wrong with him today?
"Don't worry, Brother Liu, I know what I'm doing!" With that, Cheng Xiao stepped forward a few paces, loaded the shell, and aimed at a large tree 500 meters away.
Seeing he couldn't stop her, Lao Liu could only quietly follow behind, stretching out his hands, ready to catch her.
Ellie adjusted her pupils slightly, and the distant tree seemed to appear right before her eyes.
She looked at Pan Han in surprise and pointed to her eyes.
Pan Han also used two fingers to tap his own eyes, indicating that he was the same.
"It's so amazing! So humans can evolve to such an astonishing degree!" Ellie looked at the 12.7mm sniper rifle in her hand and suddenly wanted to switch to the 20mm anti-materiel sniper cannon.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Cheng Xiao fired.
The massive recoil kicked up dust all around, making it almost impossible to see anything.
But Cheng Xiao only stepped back half a step before steadying herself, not even touching Lao Liu's outstretched hands.
Looking at the distant tree, its trunk had been hit, with 85% of it blown away, leaving only a tiny connection, and it had already started to slowly tilt.
"Seventh Sister, impressive!" Seeing that Cheng Xiao was perfectly fine, Lao Liu immediately jumped up with joy.
Although he was tall and strong, he knew he couldn't do it with such ease.
Lao Liu's eyes were full of envy, which everyone could see.
Next, it was Ellie's turn.
In the end, she still chose to start with the 12.7mm sniper rifle.
However, holding this thing in her hand felt no different from holding a 9mm pistol.
It used to be dead heavy, but now she could play with it easily.
Ellie loaded the magazine, switched to semi-automatic mode, took a light breath, held her breath, and focused on the same tree.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Five rapid shots!
Ellie's upper body trembled slightly, but her lower body remained motionless.
Looking at the tree again, the small connection point that was left was also precisely shattered, and it broke completely into two, falling down.
"Little sister, great marksmanship!" Cheng Xiao hadn't expected Ellie's shooting to be so good.
"Holy cow! Ai Li, were you a hitman before? How is your marksmanship so good!" Lao Liu also said in surprise.
Ellie smiled at the two of them; she hadn't expected her body to be this strong. She had the recoil of the sniper rifle completely under control!
It was no different from firing a handgun.
Pan Han leaned out halfway, applauded for Ellie, and then signaled for her to try switching to the 20mm sniper cannon.
Ellie nodded and picked up the big guy directly.
"This one has a bit more weight, but it's still very easy."
Ellie weighed it in her hand and sighed. With a three-round magazine, this thing weighed over 35 kilograms. In the past, it would have been impossible to carry; she would have had to honestly place it on the ground to fire.
"Ellie, let's add some difficulty. Try shooting while running!" Pan Han said to her from the car.
"Okay!" Ellie took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and aimed at the remaining half-trunk of the tree again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After firing the first shot, Ellie quickly ran thirty meters, then fired the second shot, and ran another thirty meters before firing the third.
This method of shooting tested stamina, muscle strength, and accuracy.
All three bullets still hit the exact same spot.
The half-tree was split down the middle, emitting black smoke.
"Oh my goodness! Ai Li is actually this amazing! She can be that accurate even while running?"
Lao Liu's mouth was wide open; he almost fell to his knees.
He could hold the 20mm sniper cannon and fire it, but he definitely couldn't run that fast, and even if he could run, it would be impossible to aim.
It was just ridiculously absurd!
Pan Han and Cheng Xiao smiled, looking at Ellie's heroic and spirited appearance, their eyes full of affection.
Who knew that Lao Liu would quietly sneak up to Pan Han's side: "Commander, I also want to evolve to the Intermediate level."
Seeing his expression, Pan Han couldn't help but laugh: "I told you not to come, but you didn't listen. Feeling stimulated now, aren't you?"
"Yeah! Intermediate and Beginner are completely different species!"
At this moment, Cheng Xiao grabbed Ellie and headed straight for the hill; they were preparing to use melee weapons to kill the mutated beasts.
Pan Han was entangled by Lao Liu and didn't have time to give any instructions.
"Lao Liu, don't be anxious. The next batch will be your turn. The main thing is that this stuff depends on the Twelve Palaces. It's not like you can get as much as you want." Pan Han handed Lao Liu a cigarette, not wanting to dampen his enthusiasm.
"Commander, when is the next time! When we unify the three prefectures?"
"I don't know either. Maybe not until we unify the whole country!"
"Commander, that time, I want to lead the team! You have to let me earn some military merit."
"Fine, that's easy to arrange. Next time I'll let you lead the team and fight for a dawn for our base!"
