Chapter 67: To the Grand Canyon

However, there was a big deviation between reality and Cheng Bin's expectations, this night was very quiet, not the kind of night of silence in the novel to avoid losing contact, but nothing really happened.

After the first rays of sunlight shone into the bunker after dawn, Cheng Bin slowly opened his eyes, he didn't sleep well last night, on the one hand, he was worried about the enemy that might appear at any time, and on the other hand, it was also because Rebecca was very dishonest when she slept, probably because she felt cold, and she had been drilling into Cheng Bin's arms in the second half of the night, which made Cheng Bin feel miserable, and soon overturned the idea that it was not bad to have a female apprentice when he taught Rebecca to learn guns between sleeps.

is the opposite of Cheng Bin, Rebecca slept quite well this night, Cheng Bin felt that this child was really big-hearted, and he could be so relieved to sleep with a man he had only known for a few days, completely lacking the whipping from reality.

He gently pushed away Rebecca, who still wanted to get some sleep, got up and carefully covered Rebecca's body with the blanket, and jumped out of his chest, and Rebecca's confused voice came from behind him.

"Are you going to the bathroom?" She asked.

"Sort of." Cheng Bin said vaguely, leaned back and picked up the rifle behind his chest, and walked towards the hillside.

The traps he had set yesterday were all there, and there was no sign of triggering, and there was no sign of human activity nearby, but a beast left footprints next to a thunderbolt, and I don't know if it sensed danger, but it finally left.

Cheng Bin withdrew the thunder, squatted on the hillside and stared at the off-road vehicle for a while, faintly feeling that he seemed to have made a mistake, but he couldn't think of what was wrong.

It's a terrible feeling, as if you know you're in danger, but you don't know where it's going to come from.

After breakfast, Cheng Bin was not in a hurry to go on the road, and took Rebecca to practice pistol for a while. That SSG couldn't be used before the scope, and the M16 was too difficult for Rebecca to master, so now if she wants to improve her actual combat skills, she can only work on the pistol.

Rebecca is a quick learner, and the day before yesterday when she learned guns from Uncle Potato, she didn't gain anything, at least she memorized the basics.

This made Cheng Bin feel a little strange, he knew that Uncle Potato's tactical literacy was good, but he would be different from teaching others, Uncle Potato's expression skills were also good, and all kinds of requirements were very clear, at least Xiaoli really understood.

After dozens of bullets, the nine-millimeter bullets that Cheng Bin got when he saved Isabel were almost gone, Rebecca's results were good, after more than a dozen bullets, the ten-meter chest target would not miss the target, as for the actual combat effect, it is difficult to say, this is closely related to the psychological quality of the battle, even if Glock's recoil is relatively small, as long as the shooting action is slightly deformed, the bullet does not know where to fly.

After sitting in the car, Rebecca seemed a little unsatisfied, but Cheng Bin felt that today's practice was enough, first, their pistol ammunition was not much, and second, Rebecca's wrist strength was limited, and it was easy to get injured if she practiced again.

Speaking of this, the wound on Cheng Bin's knee has now scabbed, but he doesn't seem to pay attention to the wound at all when he acts, so the wound that has been scabbed is always torn apart, and then blood oozes out of the wound, and the visual effect is obvious.

"When will I be able to practice the same marksmanship as you?" Rebecca sat in the car and said to Cheng Bin excitedly.

She hasn't had a chance to see Cheng Bin draw a gun, but when she was practicing marksmanship, she watched Cheng Bin's demonstration of action, and Rebecca was quite envious of Cheng Bin's performance of raising his hand to shoot no false shots, in her words, it was as if the bullet shot by Cheng Bin would find the target by itself, and it could hit the target no matter how it hit.

Cheng Bin smiled and didn't answer the question until Rebecca asked again, and then said, "Do you know how many bullets were fired today?" ”

"More than thirty rounds, right?" Rebecca has a good memory, and began to calculate how many times she changed the magazine, because the magazine capacity is a certain amount, so it is convenient to calculate the number of bullets fired through this.

Cheng Bin didn't wait for her to get the result, he said: "If you have the talent in this area, about 5,000 rounds are enough." ”

Rebecca was startled, looked at Cheng Bin in surprise and asked, "Then how many bullets did you use?" ”

Cheng Bin laughed, and he said, "Me? He pouted, "Never." At that time, each of us carried a box of bullets, and we were not allowed to eat until we finished the fight. ”

He had a look of nostalgia on his face, and said softly: "You can never imagine how much pain it is to have so many bullets that you can't finish firing." ”

The Grand Canyon is in the southeast of the wilderness, geographically speaking, it is no longer part of the wilderness, out of the canyon is the Great Lakes region, which is the main grain producing area of the United Kingdom, and a large part of the grain in the two cities and three towns in the wilderness comes from here.

During that war in prehistoric times, the wasteland was hit by a considerable number of nuclear strikes, and was filled with radiation of varying intensity, but the peaks on either side of the Grand Canyon blocked most of the radioactive material, effectively forming a passage in and out of the wasteland. Without this passage, the only way to leave the wasteland is to take a boat from the sea to the east, which is not only a long way, but also no less risky than crossing the radiation zone.

Cheng Bin had known about the existence of the Grand Canyon for a long time, but he had never been there. This led them to take some detours, and it was about the afternoon that they found a road along a mountain range to the gorge.

This is a high-speed road, at least the part of the surface that is not high-level, Rebecca has stumbled across it in the book, and it is said that this road was built by the United Kingdom, and its main purpose at that time was to transport the X energy crystals produced in the wasteland.

But soon after the construction of this highway, the high-altitude airship technology matured and was put into use, so the relatively inefficient highway was abandoned.

Of course, the so-called renunciation here only refers to the United Kingdom, at least the two cities and three towns in the wasteland still rely on this road to transport supplies, and SOD and Woodpecker will also use this company to transport some low-value-added, very uneconomical items by airship.

Once you've found the road, it's only natural to get to the canyon. Soon Cheng Bin found that although the highway was simple, there were all the signs that should be there, and he even saw the "50km/h" speed limit sign on a sign that had been weathered so fast that he couldn't see the handwriting on it.

"I didn't expect the United Kingdom to still use metric units." Cheng Bin said.

When he was with Isabel, Cheng Bin noticed that Isabel was used to using imperial units, so Cheng Bin felt that in addition to ordinary people who were not used to using standard units of measurement, the United Kingdom officials should be more accustomed to using the imperial system.

Rebecca had apparently not paid attention to this before, but she thought for a moment before she said, "I guess the imperial and metric systems are used together." ”

"Wouldn't that be messy?" Cheng Bin asked.

Rebecca shook her head blankly, apparently unclear on the meaning of the question.

After getting on the road, the person driving the off-road vehicle becomes Rebecca, although the little girl is a head shorter than Cheng Bin, she has a pair of long legs, which can be used to step on the accelerator and brake without any problem, and there is no need to even adjust the height of the seat.

Before she could see the entrance to the canyon, a waving woman appeared on the road ahead, and a car was parked under the road behind her, looking like she was asking for help.
