End of the World

"Platoon leader, don't you have a sniper rifle? Lend it to me!" Shi Yi Bo found Zhu Zhenguo, who had just finished his shift.

"You are well-informed!" Zhu Zhenguo looked at Shi Yibo, who came to him right after he got the money.

"Didn't you say that yourself?" Shi Yibo was stunned.

"Where's your CSLR?"

"It's for Jiven!"

"You're a clever little boy, you're quite capable!" Zhu Zhenguo looked at Shi Yi Bo and smiled.

This made Shi Yibo a little confused. What kind of clever guy is this? He didn't do anything!

"Follow me!" Zhu Zhenguo took a sip of water and took Shi Yibo to the ammunition storage point. He carried out one of the metal boxes, patted the box and looked at Shi Yibo.

Shi Yibo was a little puzzled when he saw the metal box. Why was the Type 88 sniper packaged so well? Even a brand new one wouldn't come with something like this!

"Platoon leader, this 88 sniper rifle is packed too well, isn't it?"

"What 88 sniper? Look carefully first!" Zhu Zhenguo glared. What kind of look is that? A sniper!

"No?" Shi Yibo went over to touch the box, and then saw some eye-catching words on the box: Type 10 12.7 anti-material sniper rifle.

"Platoon leader, this?" This time it was Shi Yibo's turn to widen his eyes.

"This is for you!" Zhu Zhenguo was very satisfied with Shi Yibo's reaction: "The superiors have allocated two Type 10 sniper rifles to me, and since you have experience using them, I will give you one!"

Zhu Zhenguo waved his hand and said that not all snipers are equipped with such good guns.

"Thank you, Platoon Leader!" Shi Yi Bo almost jumped up with excitement, knowing that it was Zhu Zhenguo who took care of him. Originally, he just came to borrow a Type 88 sniper rifle, but Zhu Zhenguo domineeringly gave him a large sniper rifle.

Shi Yi Bo couldn't wait to open the box and quickly assembled all the accessories onto the gun. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Don't be happy too soon. I won't say much about the gun. Hurry and familiarize yourself with it. Also, the number of 12.7 sniper bullets is limited. Try to save them. Use 12.7 machine gun bullets to fight the zombies on the wall!" Zhu Zhenguo reminded.

"Will this affect the life of the gun barrel?" Shi Yi Bo hesitated.

"There's nothing we can do about it. I've got a few guns for you. Take it easy!"

"Yes!"

Shi Yibao happily left with his gun, as happy as a child. Zhu Zhenguo shook his head repeatedly, wondering when he would become mature and steady.

Shi Yi-bo returned to his position humming a little tune. When Ji Wen saw the sniper rifle he was carrying, he almost fell down.

"This is the 88 sniper you mentioned!"

"Old Zhu gave me a new pair. How do you like it? Looks handsome, right?"

"It looks really good!" Ji Wen came over and touched it, feeling envious. After all, Shi Yi Bo was an old subordinate of Zhu Zhenguo, so he would definitely be given priority.

"Why don't you try it?" Shi Yi Bo was quite generous.

"Next time! I haven't shot a sniper in a long time, so I need to get familiar with it first!" Ji Wen declined politely, knowing his own weight.

"Then this CSLR belongs to me!"

"Okay!" Shi Yi-Bo was a little reluctant. The CSLR was left by his partner, but he couldn't handle both guns alone, so he generously left it to his new partner.

"Don't worry, I will cherish it as much as I cherish my life!" Ji Wen knew Shi Yi Bo's feelings for the gun and made the promise immediately.

If you want to be an excellent sniper, you must first take good care of your gun. As long as you take good care of it, it will be able to fight alongside you at any time and will not fail at the critical moment.

Shi Yibo held up the Type 10 sniper rifle and loaded the full magazine.

"Are these machine gun bullets?" Given said, glancing at the bullet box.

"There's no other way. There aren't many sniper bullets, so we can only use machine gun bullets instead!" Shi Yi Bo also felt distressed. Using incompatible bullets would accelerate the wear of the barrel.

Shi Yibo slowly adjusted the eyepiece. This process might have to be repeated several times before he could adjust the aiming method that suits him.

"boom!"

With a loud gunshot, Shi Yibo's body shook violently, and a flash of fire appeared from the muzzle of the gun. A bullet accurately hit a zombie a thousand meters away. The bullet directly penetrated the zombie's body and broke it in half. The bullet did not stop and penetrated two more zombies, leaving a blood hole as big as a fist on the last zombie.

Given, who was standing next to him, was shocked. The power was worthy of the name of a sniper rifle. It could penetrate three zombies at a distance of one thousand meters, and it was using ordinary machine gun bullets. How much more powerful would it be if it was a special armor-piercing bullet?

"Very good, very accurate!" Ji Wen exclaimed.

"Is it accurate?" Shi Yi Bo frowned. He was clearly aiming at the head, but he hit the body instead. Either the sight was not adjusted properly or the machine gun bullet affected the accuracy.

Shi Dewen ejected the bullet and replaced it with a special sniper bullet and shot again. This time it was much more accurate and blew up the head of a zombie a thousand meters away. It was indeed the effect of the machine gun bullet.

After several times of practice, Shi Yibo mastered the technique and his shooting became more and more proficient. After practicing with the gun, it was time to do real work, to kill the mutant zombies. If the CSLR did not hit the mutant zombies' vital parts, they might not die, but they would basically explode if hit by the Type 10 anti-material sniper rifle, and they would be killed in one shot as long as they were hit in the upper body.

Shi Yibo always shoots the overlapping zombies, so that he can take down two or three zombies with one bullet.

Not far away, Zhu Zhenguo saw Shi Yibo's results and left with satisfaction, thinking that the gun was not given in vain.

There are many sniper combinations like Shi Yi-Bo and Ji Wen. A small number of them are equipped with Type 10 sniper rifles like Shi Yi-Bo, CSLRs account for the majority, and the rest are equipped with Type 88 sniper rifles.

Unlike the calm sniper, the other soldiers were on edge, especially the machine gunner. The fingers holding the trigger were numb and had no feeling. The loader next to him was in a panic, and a box of machine gun bullets would soon be emptied. There were quite a number of ordinary people in the machine gun bunker, and they were all there to load bullets for the soldiers.

“Woo~woo~”

The familiar air raid alarm sounded, and everyone became nervous. The soldiers outside all crowded into the bunkers. There was no doubt that the corpse moths were coming again.

"Crench!"

Just like last time, the flamethrower tanks moved upon hearing the sound, drove onto the city wall, and took on the important task of final air defense. All flames were sprayed outward. Last time, due to the confusion, the flames sprayed into the wall accidentally injured their own people.

"Boom-boom-boom!"

The anti-aircraft guns in the distance opened fire, specifically targeting the areas where the insects were most concentrated, and suddenly large numbers of insects fell.

After the previous attacks, there were only a few anti-aircraft missiles left. This thing was a luxury in the first place, and the shelter had few stocks left.

At the artillery position, a group of engineers were studying a 130mm cannon. As the air defense pressure increased, the shelter needed more powerful anti-aircraft artillery.

Large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were most widely used in World War II. Later, with the emergence of jet fighters, bulky large-caliber anti-aircraft guns gradually withdrew from the stage of history, and high-rate-of-fire small-caliber anti-aircraft guns became more popular.

Engineers considered modifying some of the 130 cannons, mainly modifying the shells and adding delayed fuses to the shells. Due to the elevation angle of the artillery's firing range, it can only fire at long range.

The 130 cannon shell has a problem with its own weight. It is greatly affected by gravity and cannot be aimed directly when shooting. It is necessary to calculate the ballistic curvature of the shell.

"boom!"

A 130mm shell flew straight towards the corpse moths in the sky. With an explosion, the corpse moths within the killing radius were torn to pieces, and even those outside the radius were affected by the shock wave.

The test firing results were not ideal, the altitude was too low and it was easy for teammates to die.

"Bang!" On the city wall, Ji Wen used CSLR to shoot at the corpse moths in the sky, while Shi Yi Bo could only shoot with a pistol. The Type 10 sniper rifle was too wasteful.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Shi Yi Bo quickly finished a magazine. Fifteen bullets killed three corpse moths. The damage of the pistol was too low, and it was difficult to hit the vital points of a flying corpse moth.

Shi Yibo put down his pistol and still found it more fun to fight the mutant zombies!

All the troops on the city wall retreated into the bunkers. The corpse moths became angry and attacked the bunkers frantically. The corpse moths were good at attacking but lacked the ability to carry out a strong attack.

The corpse moths that attacked this time seemed to be flying all over the sky, but there were only about 50,000 of them. They did not have enough staying power, and they were basically wiped out in just half an hour.

The wall was covered with insects. Some soldiers pinched their noses and did the disgusting work, putting on gloves and throwing the corpses covered with slime outside.

Without the "air raid", the zombies on the ground were once again greeted by a fierce storm of bullets.

On the east city wall, the new troops were training with the zombies under the wall. There were only a few tens of thousands of zombies here, so there was no pressure.

However, ten kilometers to the east, there were faint signs of zombies gathering, with hundreds of thousands of zombies slowly wandering towards the shelter. At this speed, they would reach the outskirts of the shelter in a few days.

Hundreds of thousands of zombies are just the vanguard. The tens of millions of zombies in Dongzhou city seem to be bored of staying in the city and want to see the outside world, so they slowly disperse outward. The survivors near the city are miserable, as they will find zombies everywhere.

It will take a lot of time for millions of zombies to wander out of the city, and it depends on whether the shelter’s top management can grasp it.

The bombers sent from Shu have arrived in Dongzhou City. At the request of the Wupingshan Shelter, they only bombed the suburban areas.

There were millions of zombies in the suburbs, scattered everywhere. The bombs dropped by bombers killed about 100,000 of them, less than a fraction of the total number.

The bombing results were acceptable, but the bombardment of 100,000 zombies would take some time.

At the rocket artillery position, the artillery is ready to fire. Even if rockets are scarce, they have to be used. The rockets are equipped with clustered warheads that are specifically designed to attack armored groups and are particularly suitable for attacking clustered targets.

The rocket launcher attacked the middle of the zombie horde and killed a large number of zombies. The 155 artillery had been bombarding the zombies in the front row. It was time for the shift change on the city wall, and the shift troops only had ten minutes to reach their positions.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Commanders at all levels kept urging their troops, wishing they could all fly over.

The sky gradually darkens and all the searchlights are turned on. The battle at night will be more dangerous, especially for the annoying corpse moths, which do not sleep at night and often visit.
