Chapter 984: Chapter 425 Veteran’s Club (Part 2)

The first batch of goods consisted of two bundles of carbines tied with ropes. Since the stock of 5.56 bullets far exceeded that of 7.62, this operation prioritized the movement of carbines. Xiao Nu and Xiao Zhuan each carried a bundle of guns following behind Double Forest. Their footsteps were slightly loud but posed no threat to Double Forest, and they successfully passed through the first floor’s safe passage.

The second batch of goods consisted of bullets, a box of handgun ammunition and a box of .50 caliber machine gun bullets.

The third batch of goods included 5.56 bullets and two sets of optical scopes.

The fourth batch of goods comprised two heavy sniper rifles and a box of handguns.

Bald said: "Phase B."

The assault team retreated to the safe passage on the first floor, Shana played music, triggering the zombies to stir, and then the helicopter started hovering and taking off. However, the loudspeaker at the rear door to the northwest malfunctioned and did not emit any music, causing the sound of the helicopter to attract a group of zombies into the Veteran’s Club through the rear door.

After hearing Shana’s report, the assault team had already set up a firing net in the staff passage, either crouching, lying, or standing, as they shot down the zombies one by one, piling them up like a small mountain at the rear door, effectively blocking the entrance for a time. Shana then restarted the music three times before it resumed, pulling the group of zombies away from the rear door.

"Turn off the music."

Shana checked the time: "It played for 11 minutes."

Bald on timing: "Understood, everyone, get ready, have something to eat, there are at least two more batches of goods."

Xiao Zhuan asked: "Are mines also needed?"

Bald: "Yes."

Lin Wu curiously asked: "Why would there be mines on the shooting range?"

Bald said: "For the recruits who want to gain VIP status, they must pass our assessment. Infantry mines are only used for assessment." In their view, soldiers of two years are still recruits, not qualified to enter the basement. To earn the qualification to enter the basement, they must pass the test. The testing occurs at a shooting range in the suburbs, which includes assessments of courage, wisdom, patience, will, and other aspects.

Many soldiers barely fire a few shots during their two-year military service and seldom come into contact with mines, causing them to develop a fear of mines psychologically. Overcoming fear is also part of the assessment. Additionally, there is an assessment of learning ability, allowing soldiers who have never handled rocket projectiles to operate them according to the manual, and they must hit the target.

The various assessments are diverse, held once a year, and also considered a traditional event at the Veteran’s Club. Because of this, there is a bit of everything in the armory: not only rifles from different countries from the World War II era but also rocket projectiles like "Iron Fist" and "Bazooka"; however, these are just display items, mostly without matching ammunition.

Xiao Nu handed Lin Wu a rifle: "Lee-Enfield rifle, the fastest bolt-action sniper rifle. Started mass production in the 19th century, transformed into a sniper rifle during WWII, it’s also a rare rear-bolt-action rifle. Equipped with double magazines, each can hold 10 rounds of 5.56 bullets. It was only replaced towards the end of the 20th century. Equipped with a triple scope, it has extremely high shooting accuracy within 300 meters."

"The fastest? How fast?" Lin Wu took over the rifle with a sense of the era and developed a liking for it.

"A skilled veteran can fire over 30 rounds per minute." Xiao Nu demonstrated, unlike other side-bolt rifles, this one is a rear-bolt rifle.

Xiao Juan said: "Lin Wu, Barrett is the king, killing targets within two kilometers, watching the bullet’s trajectory through the scope, holding your breath and waiting a few seconds to see the target fall. That’s the essence of sniping."

Lin Wu said: "Xiao Juan, this thing weighs 18 kg, plus full gear, that’s about 30 kg, right?"

Xiao Juan grinned: "Regardless, I still prefer Barrett. But to be fair, the Lee-Enfield has truly impressive performance, very suitable for providing fire support to the squad. But its scope has poor visibility, I’ll help you change it when we get back."

Silence was temporarily canceled, everyone could chat freely. One intention was to use normal voices to attract zombies, who would inevitably appear near the safe passages. There were too many outside zombies; the inside was relatively vacant, and some zombies were bound to gather indoors sooner or later.

In cooperative, orderly battle rhythm, the likelihood of being bitten by zombies was very low, but there was a greater likelihood of being wiped out as a group. Once any team member tangled with multiple zombies, it would cause others to hesitate, potentially leading to a chain collapse.

Bald estimated that there were at least fifteen thousand 5.56 bullets in the munitions safe, optimistically over twenty thousand. Speaking of which isn’t much—on average it took over twenty thousand bullets to kill a soldier during WWII. From WWII they shifted their conversation to zombie movies, with Bald criticizing them as very imprecise, treating the Fungus Team like paper targets. He gave an example, placing a tank in the city center, wondering how long it would take for ten million civilians using just teeth and fists to kill the people inside the tank?

Bald believed that as long as the firearms didn’t malfunction and the bullets were unlimited, with just ten people, they could defend against an endless zombie onslaught from atop the railroad bridge base.

Chit-chat, zombies killing, reorganizing, eating, the helicopter returned on time. Shana played music, the helicopter landed, the team switched into silent mode, starting a new round of transportation.

The second batch of goods focused on bullets, 5.56 bullets 20 per box, 10 boxes per strip, 3 strips per wooden crate for bullets produced in the last century. Bullets produced in the current century used green hard plastic boxes, ten strips per box. Without transport vehicles, the assault team could only carry several boxes up and down the stairs each time.

This put a great test on the safety of the two passages. The fatigued transporters wouldn’t pay much attention to safety, nor could
