Chapter 37: Ammunition Exhaustion
Among Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's sidearms, the only decent ones are survival rifles, and the other weapons are not none, but they are all in the survival bag, and they will be turned into ashes along with the landing ship.
After the second battle, Chu Jungui also listed the bullets of the survival rifle as a priority goal for construction, and the priority was alongside the life-sustaining materials.
It's just that now the material reserves of the two are close to being exhausted, and they can't build more fortifications.
Chu Jungui is responsible for cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses of strange beasts, and mending knives for foreign beasts that are not dead. Lin Xi repaired existing fortifications and traps. Simple barbed wire traps are surprisingly easy to use against alien beasts.
The two of them were busy, and there was peace on the mask monitor, and there were no more alarms.
However, in the distant forest, in the center of a huge leaf, lie two strange creatures like lizards. They are dark purple in color and almost blend in with the leaves, making them difficult to spot even if you look closely. They have three eyes on their heads, one large and two small, with a large central eye that appears to have multiple pupils inside.
At this moment, their eyes fell on Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's rifles, and then they looked next to the cockpit. There were a number of supplies piled up there, the most important of which was an ammunition box with neatly stacked magazines.
The two lizardmen closed their eyes and vanished as if they had never existed.
Chu Jungui dragged the corpses of seven or eight strange beasts back at this time. The planet is so dangerous that these corpses can't be discarded at will, otherwise they might attract some more powerful predators, or scavengers. Even if these beasts can be eaten, they must find a way to burn or bury them.
Chu Jungui walked step by step, and the cockpit was getting closer and closer to him, and it was already less than 500 meters.
At this moment, a red alert suddenly lit up in the mask's field of vision!
Lin Xi was at the base, and he reacted almost instantly, grabbing his rifle and raising his hand to strafe it. Two clouds of lilac flesh erupted on the ground, and two lizardbeasts that completely fused with the ground appeared. They are about the same size as ordinary puppies, and their defense is not outstanding, and they were blown up half of their bodies by Lin Xi with a few shots.
However, their vitality is extremely tenacious, and one of them has only a head left, but its large mouth is open and spits out a large cloud of lilac slime.
Lin Xi instinctively dodged, this mass of slime was by no means a good thing, she didn't want to be glued to the battle armor.
The slime is as fast as a water bomb, and it doesn't look like a creature can spit out. Its target is not Lin Xi, but ammunition boxes.
The slime clump landed on the ammo box with a snap, and immediately billowing white smoke came out, and the ammo box and the magazine inside were actually cutting down at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corrosive power of this slime is simply astonishing.
Lin Xi was taken aback, how could she not know the importance of these reserve ammunition, but that mass of slime could not be touched at all, how could this be good?
Just as she hesitated, gunshots rang out in the distance, and the remaining ammunition boxes were shattered by Chu Jungui's shot, and the magazines flew everywhere, some of the magazines were broken, spilling bullets everywhere.
Lin Xi instantly realized that the bullets of the survival rifle were all advanced chemical energy ammunition, and if they were not fired in the gun, they would not explode even if they were burned in the fire. Chu Jungui shot up the ammunition box, at least he could save some ammunition that was not touched by the slime.
Chu Jungui couldn't take care of the corpse of the alien beast, and rushed back.
Lin Xi had already picked up a lot of scattered magazines, and then looked at the shallow pits on the ground in a daze. These shallow pits were left by the lizardbeast slime, and the magazines and bullets that were stained were all corroded into gray-white powder, and there was no recovery value at all.
Chu Jungui picked up the corpse of the half-lizard beast and looked at it, then threw it on the ground and asked, "How many bullets do we have?"
"Including the guns, there are only 221 rounds left. Lin Xi's face was ugly, this bullet might not be able to stop the impact of the alien beast.
Chu Jungui picked up two empty large-capacity magazines and threw them to Lin Xi, saying, "Reload, all of them are loaded into large-capacity magazines, I'm afraid the third wave of impact is coming." ”
Lin Xi knew that time was pressing, so he took the magazine, picked up all the bullets scattered on the ground, and quickly loaded them.
Chu Jungui came over with a bundle of sharpened wooden sticks, stuffed a discarded hatch into the manufacturing machine, and chose to make alloy sheets. While he was waiting, he sharpened one end of the stick and rolled it up to form a simple metal spear.
Chu Jungui's movements were very fast, and the speed at which he sharpened the wooden sticks had exceeded the speed at which the manufacturing machine made alloy sheets. In the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen wooden short spears piled up at his feet.
At this time, Lin Xi had already loaded the magazine, and at the same time strengthened the existing barbed wire trap. Chu Jungui beckoned her over, handed her a few short spears, and then demonstrated a few basic movements. Lin Xi was extremely smart and learned these movements in an instant.
She had only practiced twice before a large red alert appeared on the monitor again, this time on a larger scale.
Chu Jungui jumped onto the roof of the cockpit and stretched out two hands to Lin Xi to instruct: "Two shots per head, weaken rather than kill." ”
No sooner had they prepared than a horde of beasts appeared on the horizon. This time, the herd was larger, with more than sixty heads. With such a number, even if the two of them have no bullet limit, they will have a very hard time coping, not to mention that the supply of bullets is close to being cut off now.
As soon as the beast herd appeared, Chu Jungui opened fire without hesitation, and the roar of the survival rifle did not stop in the slightest. Although firing at nearly the highest rate of fire, Chu Jungui's body showed a slight fluctuation in a very rhythmic manner, each fluctuating being stuck behind two bullets.
In this way, the bullets fired by Chu Jungui were fired in groups of two, and the back shot followed closely by the front, almost in a straight line and bombarded the heads of different alien beasts. The first bullet struck the beast with sharp teeth in all directions, while the second shot blasted through the path opened by the previous one, shattering the fragile structure of the mouth.
This kind of archery is not only impossible for ordinary humans to achieve, but even for complete war machines. The basis for Chu Jungui to be able to play this effect is actually based on the basic fighting function component with a version number of up to 23. The components that have been optimized by Dr. Zero are already about to allow Chu Jungui to achieve cell-level control.
Two bullets can't kill the beast, and it takes four shots to ensure that it is killed. However, Chu Jungui's two bullets could still severely damage the alien beasts, and the pain caused by the heavy injuries caused many alien beasts to roll in place non-stop, and some even went crazy and directly began to attack the same kind around them.
Next to Chu Jungui, Lin Xi's rate of fire was much slower. She didn't rush it, but patiently shot at once, making sure to weaken a beast enough before moving on to the next target. At this time, the number of bullets is limited, and she must ensure that Chu Jungui uses the ammunition.
When the herd rushed to the barbed wire, there were still more than twenty of them, and many of them endured the pain and continued to charge even if they were shot twice.
