Chapter 299: Trading with the Sanctuary!(3)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Tran station
The horde of mutants inside the electronics factory frightened the group of ten members from the fallout shelter.
“Captain Zhao, there are so many mutants. What should we do?! ” Liu Yuan said anxiously.
“Leave it to us!”
“My team will go in and clear the area first. Once it’s clean, you can enter…” “However, we might run out of ammunition this time. We ll need some from you…”
“No problem!”
Liu Yuan agreed and went back to her group to collect spare ammunition from everyone, handing them all to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu distributed the bullets and after a brief strategy commanded to his troops. All five reams headed towards the electronics factory.
He had already scouted the area beforehand. The factory only had one main entrance in this direction. The surrounding walls were high, about three to four meters, too high for these mutants to jump over in one leap.
So, he had one team climb up the walls as supporting fire from high ground, while the other three took turns guarding the entrance.
“Follow my command. Kill all mutants within our shooting range…”
Once Zhao Yu had given the order, he raised his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.
“Bang!”
The gunshot echoed loudly in the quiet night.
The mutants all surged towards them.
Only when these mutants approached within twenty meters did the four land infantry open fire.
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
With each firing, four mutants fell down coordinately. More and more mutants kept charging towards them.
Only when the mutants got to the range within 10 meters, the rest of the soldiers finally began shooting.
Even without sufficient light source in night, almost every bullet they fired killed a mutant.
This was Zhao Yu s directive, aiming for maximum accuracy within shooting range.
In just thirty seconds, a mound of mutant corpses piled up at the entrance of the electronics factory.
The mutants started to break through, getting as close as four to five meters.
“Fire at will within effective range, prioritize those within absolute close range to us!”
With that command, the sporadic gunshots became a continuous barrage.
The death toll of the mutants reached into the hundreds, surpa.s.sing the number Zhao Yu had killed in the past.
“All units, retreat five meters!”
After a while, with the mutant bodies piling up to the entrance, Zhao Yu felt they were getting overwhelmed and ordered everyone to retreat.
He asked everyone to report the remaining ammunition while retreating backward.
The rifle ammunition was depleting way too fast. About three to four bullets were required to take down a single mutant.
This was despite rhe fact that all his soldiers had Al chips integrated. If they had been human soldiers, they might have needed even more ammunition to achieve the same results.
“How many mutants are there inside?! We might run out of ammo soon.”
Zhao Yu was overwhelmed and took up a rifle himself, beginning to fire.
His marksmans.h.i.+p was exceptional.
During the five years time ar rhe moon base, besides playing basketball, he spent his time practicing shooting with various weapons.
However, he mainly trained with heavy weapons like rocket launchers, railguns, and laser guns, so he hadn’t used rifles much.
Still, his aim was better than the drafted soldiers.
“So strong…”
The team watched amazingly Zhao Yu and his soldiers, showcasing their prowess, killed hundreds of mutants.
“If it weren’t for them and we had rushed in there recklessly, we might have met our end” one remarked.
The thought gave everyone chills. They felt fortunate to have encountered
Zhao Yu and his team.
Soon, the rate of gunfire from the frontline slowed down.
“The mutants are decreasing!”
“Is it finally over?”
At the front line, Zhao Yu also breathed a sigh of relief, releasing down his rifle.
After another three minutes, gunfire nearly ceased, and no new mutants appeared from the factory.
Zhao Yu ordered one of his men to climb the wall for a status check.
“Report: No mutants in sight!”
“Good.”
Zhao Yu nodded and signaled the shelter’s group.
They all rushed over.
“The mutants are cleared out, but they’ve blocked the main entrance…”
“Me and my men just finished fighting and need some rest. Could you clear the entrance?”
None of them wanted to handle the bodies, but they dared not refuse, so they reluctantly agreed.
“Regroup!”
With Zhao Yu s shout, 20 soldiers returned to his side and formed ranks.
“Listen up!”
“Rest up and eat here!”
With that command, the 20 soldiers, undeterred by the mess, sat down and began to eat.
The group was surprised by their action.
“How can they even eat here?”
“These soldiers really are instruments of war…”
“Well, they’re trained to kill.”
About ten minutes later, a path was cleared. Zhao Yu’s team had eaten and their fatigue was once again erased.
Zhao Yu approached the shelter group and asked, “Do you all need to rest?”
“No need. Let’s find what we came for and get back quickly.”
They too had rested while watching Zhao Yu’s team in battle, and after just ten minutes of work, they still felt energetic..
