Chapter 42: Important People

"Haven't you slept all night?" I asked, surprised.

"It's okay, I used to do research a lot, and I'm used to it." Tan Jingwen said.

"That's not going to work, you're an important member of the team right now, you have to take care of yourself and go rest." I said.

"Well, okay, no, I'm here to show you your bow." Tan Jingwen, who had just turned around, came back to speak.

followed Tan Jingwen to his room, Ding Wei and the others must have gone back to the room to rest, Tan Jingwen's room has completely become a utility room, and there is everything.

Tan Jingwen walked quickly to the table and picked up my bow, but now it is unrecognizable, the whole bow used to be made of metal, and now only the bow piece is still the original material, and some gears have been added to both ends of the bow and arrow, and the grip part has been replaced with other materials, I can't say, anyway, it is full of science and technology.

"I've adjusted the power of this bow for you, and now it can be folded, there is a device here, you can press it, and the size of the folded bow is less than one-third of the original." Tan Jingwen took the bow and explained to me.

I took the bow and tried it in my hand, it was half as lighter than before, it was easy to fold and unfold, it was much more comfortable to hold, the place to hold the arrow was more stable, and it was easier to open the bow than before.

I was still studying my bow, and Tan Jingwen picked up something even more magical, a crossbow he had used to study earlier.

"We have modified some mechanical devices for this crossbow to achieve automatic loading, and we have shortened the size of the crossbow arrows a little, combined with this pneumatic crossbow arrow barrel, this anger can now be fired in a single shot or in bursts, and the quiver can hold a hundred arrows at a time." Tan Jingwen said with a crossbow.

I put the bow and arrows down, took the crossbow and looked at it, the size of the crossbow body has not changed, but there are a lot of gear springs and other things on the crossbow, one side is wrapped in a shell, and the other side is not, presumably Tan Jingwen did not install it and kept it for me to see.

The front end of the crossbow body is equipped with a vertical grip similar to that on a firearm, and the crossbow head position is also equipped with a hollow machine sight similar to the Mercedes-Benz logo, the overall weight is slightly heavier than before, but it can be basically ignored, and then look at this quiver, it is installed above the crossbow body, and the size of the quiver is smaller than the child's milk powder can.

"This thing can be fired in bursts? Not loaded? I asked, surprised.

"There is high-pressure gas in this quiver, the internal structure is relatively complex, and it is not clear in a few words, plus the mechanical device of this crossbow body, it can be fired continuously, and it can be shot without loading." Tan Jingwen said.

"How's the power? Where do you get the high-pressure gas? I asked.

"In terms of theoretical power, the killing distance should be 300 meters, and if the high-pressure gas is high-pressure, we will use a pump combined with these equipment to make it." Tan Jingwen said and pointed to the messy pile of things on the table.

"Admire!" I said with a thumbs up.

"Can this thing be mass-produced?" I then asked.

"It can be, but unless I have equipment similar to CNC lathes and air compressors, all relying on manpower, the four of us just don't sleep, and we can't make a few handfuls, and some of the parts in it have high precision requirements, and we are dismantling a lot of things in your hands." Tan Jingwen said.

"Can I try it?" I asked, carrying my crossbow.

"Of course, the device for adjusting the firing mode is here." Tan Jingwen said and fiddled with a knob on the crossbow.

I raised the crossbow and shot an arrow directly at the wall, the arrow went directly into the wall, I changed to a burst mode, the power has not diminished at all, and the rate of fire is very fast, if I have a few hundred or thousands of this thing, if there are people under me, each person is equipped with one, then I am not invincible?

"The gas compression ratio is not enough, and the material of the arrow is not good, otherwise according to our data, this wall should be directly shot through." Tan Jingwen said endlessly.

"You must put away this crossbow and hide it, don't let these technologies leak out, keep you as a prototype, I will recruit people to get supplies as soon as possible and build our own city." I said.

"Don't worry, this crossbow is the brainchild of the four of us, and if you take it out, people can't make it if you imitate it." Tan Jingwen said.

"Anyway, in order to be sure, don't take it out for the time being, you have a good rest first, and I'll go to the store to have a look." I said to Tan Jingwen.

All the way I was thinking about the crossbow that Tan Jingwen studied, although the bow on my back is advanced enough, but compared to the crossbow, it is simply heaven and earth, if it weren't for Tan Jingwen saying that my bow can also develop different arrows for me, the crossbow can only fire one kind of arrow, and I am now excellent in eyesight and archery, I almost gave up the bow and chose the crossbow.

When he walked out of the door, he remembered about the mutated zombies, but now Tan Jingwen can't tell him anymore in this state, otherwise he won't sleep, and maybe he will let me take him to see the corpse of the zombie.

Just thinking about it, I came to the street, and I could see from afar that the front of the cigarette shop was overcrowded, not only the people who bought cigarettes, but also the refugees brought by Guo Xiang, because their clothes were too abrupt in a group of people.

Guo Xiang saw me coming and ran towards me quickly, and he was followed by more than 200 people, both men and women, most of whom were young people, but all of them looked a little malnourished.

Wu Jun, who was in the store, also saw me, and I beckoned him to come over.

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Wu Jun came to me and said.

"Take them to the warehouse, and I'll be there." I said to Wu Jun.

Wu Jun took Guo Xiang and them away, and I came to the store, the three wives were busy buying cigarettes, and I even suspected that these people were not simply here to buy cigarettes, but anyway, they couldn't see and touch, and good business was a good thing.

There were also Lu Yang, Long Jiu and three brothers in the store, and I beckoned Lu Yang and Long Jiu to come to the depths of the store.

"What's going on, did the spies send out?" I asked Landing Yang.

"Sent out, according to your orders, three cars, nine people, different directions, let them out before dawn." Lu Yang said.

"Let the brothers and my wife take a look at the store, and you two come with me." I said to Lu Yang and Long Jiu.

After greeting the people in the store, the three of us walked directly to the warehouse, Wu Jun had already asked more than 200 people to stand neatly, Guo Xiang also consciously stood in the line, and I came directly to stand in front of the refugees.

"Why do you want to follow me?" I asked the refugees.

You look at me, I look at you, and no one answers.

"Because we want to live like human beings." Guo Xiang took the initiative to say.

"In these last days, if you want to live like a person, you have to pay a great price." I said out loud.

Everyone fell silent again, and even Guo Xiang didn't know how to answer my words for a while.

"Bring down three generations of flour." I said to the three brothers standing behind me.

The three brothers quickly brought three bags of flour from the truck and placed them in front of me.

"Are you hungry?" I asked aloud to the crowd in front of me.

"Hungry." Everyone said in unison.

"The world has changed, in the past, work could be exchanged for money, and money could be used to buy rice, but do you know where our rice and noodles came from?" I asked in front of the crowd.

Everyone shook their heads and looked at me confusedly, and I continued: "These rice and noodles are obtained by me and my brothers desperately killing zombies. ”

"Follow me, but I don't raise idlers, don't tell me about laundry and cooking, which anyone can do, follow me, first, you must be able to kill zombies, what I need is to be able to protect myself, and be able to protect the people around me, not need us to protect." I said to the crowd.

"But we won't." Similar voices rang out from the crowd.

"Who is born with anything? No, I can teach, then I'll just talk about this, those who dare to go out with me to kill zombies, gather here tomorrow morning, those who don't want to go and don't dare to go, continue to starve, it has nothing to do with me, I'm not a philanthropist, but I can take you to live and disband. I said to the crowd.

After everyone dispersed, Wu Jun said, "Big brother, we don't have so many weapons to allocate to them?" ”

"What was the weapon you had in your hands when you followed me on the first day?" I said to Wu Jun.

Wu Jun looked at me speechlessly, and I continued: "Without chopsticks, we can't eat?" ”

"Big brother is right, if you really don't dare to kill zombies, it's useless for you to give him any weapons." Long Jiu said.

"Okay, don't think about it, I'll give the three of you a task." I said solemnly to the three brothers.

"Guaranteed to get the job done." The three of them replied in unison without thinking.

"It's probably the toughest task ever, are you sure you don't think about it?" I asked.

"We're not afraid." The three of them replied in unison again.

"Okay, take the flour and steam 400 steamed buns." I said with a smile.

"Big brother, can I go and kill four hundred zombies?" Long Jiu said with a slumped face.

"Okay, I'll give you a steel pipe." I said.

"Big brother, are you a strong man? Four hundred steamed buns? Do you want our lives? Wu Jun said.

"Yes, big brother, this is too exaggerated, for those refugees? Directly send them food. Lu Yang said.

"I let them see the food today, is to give them a thought, if I give them food today, then 80% of them will give up the idea of killing zombies, this is human inertia, no one can change, I let you prepare steamed buns, is for people who are willing to go tomorrow, give them a little motivation before departure, awaken the desire in their hearts." I said to the three of them.

"Okay, the eldest brother deserves to be the eldest brother, I am convinced." As he spoke, Long Jiu picked up a bag and walked out.

"Hey..."Wu Jun and Lu Yang sighed, and they had to pick up the flour and follow Long Jiu out of the warehouse.

Seeing their angry appearance, I wanted to laugh, and even the two brothers standing guard in the warehouse almost laughed out loud.

As soon as the three of them left, five trucks drove towards the warehouse, and in the front of the cab was Guo Shan, who saw me standing in the warehouse and waved at me vigorously.
