Chapter 942: Chapter 935: Improved Weapons

"I can help you all," Eve said, unconvinced.

"That’s enough. We know exactly what level you’re at, just stay put in the basement and don’t wander around," Luo’er quickly dismissed her offer without hesitation.

"Luo’er, here you go," Tangmo pulled a Magic Crystal Revolver out of his backpack and placed it in Luo’er’s hands.

Magic-based weapons had always been overlooked by the Advance Team because they were still in the experimental phase. Consequently, the team instinctively doubted these weapons and preferred to use weapons from Earth, whose effectiveness had been thoroughly proven.

"Thanks!" Luo’er took the handgun and nodded with a smile.

"No, it’s nothing," Tangmo squinted happily and then continued, "So, you must stay behind me, don’t try to be tough, I’ll protect you."

"Why do you seem so excited?" Luo’er frowned slightly, feeling that Tangmo had some ulterior motive.

"Ah, not excited," Tangmo paused, then pursed his lips and stared at him, "Actually, a bit maybe, mainly because it’s the first time I can protect you. It’s always been you protecting us, now it’s my turn."

"Is that so..." Luo’er paused, visibly surprised. Clearly, he had been neglecting his teammates’ needs, assuming that taking matters into his own hands was a way to protect them, unaware of their desire in this regard.

"You bear everything on your own, and every time I see your back, I feel pain for you. Luo’er, I really like you a lot. Can you not shoulder all the responsibility and burden by yourself? It worries me about your health," Tangmo looked up earnestly as he spoke.

"I, I get it..." Luo’er turned red-faced, perhaps out of embarrassment, and then awkwardly averted his gaze.

"If you can’t look me in the eye, it means you still feel guilty inside, and still want to bear everything alone," Tangmo frowned and spoke discontentedly.

"No, that’s not it," Luo’er waved his hands and stammered.

"Stay behind me and don’t run around. I’ll protect you," Tangmo said, still not quite over it.

"I know..." Luo’er said, looking down.

"Are you two done being mushy? If you’re done, get out there!" Eve said from the side, clearly annoyed.

"What’s the rush," Tangmo murmured under his breath and glared at her discontentedly, then turned and headed for the door, with Luo’er following closely behind him.

Meanwhile, Hu Daoke had moved to a new ambush position and was curled up in a corner, changing his magazine.

It has to be said that the ammunition consumed in intense combat was tremendous, especially for a support shooter like Hu Daoke, who felt it profoundly.

He was firing in short bursts, yet he had used up at least five magazines within the first fifteen minutes of combat, which was the most conservative consumption under conditions of light fire support.

The bullets fired by a machine gunner were not so much for hitting people as they were for suppressing the enemy’s advance, allowing teammates to take out those targets.

So aside from the few people he killed at the beginning, Hu Daoke’s kill count during the subsequent battle was very limited, even less than the sniping Baiyue, who was picking off targets from afar.

But even so, the Advance Team couldn’t do without his role, for it was just too important. Without a machine gunner, the Advance Team might well have had to fill the gap in firepower with human lives, which would truly be putting the cart before the horse.

After reloading his magazine, Hu Daoke buried his machine gun in the snow and stuffed snow into the gun’s crevices, trying to lower the barrel temperature as much as possible.

His light machine gun was designed with the most advanced concepts, and had undergone devilish testing before being delivered to the troops, ensuring its reliability.

This model of gun had achieved a delicate balance between reliability and precision, and although the Advance Team had reported numerous issues during combat, fundamentally they were not problems with the gun itself.

As mentioned before, this buttless rifle was originally designed to fire caseless bullets, a cross-era firearm. However, headquarters, considering the abundance of AK series M43 bullets in the Otherworld, forcibly required the gun to be able to fire cased M43 bullets and also be compatible with the AK series rifles’ banana-shaped magazines.

This brought huge trouble to the developers. Since the gun was initially meant to fire caseless bullets and had no ejection port, the developers were forced to add a cartridge slot similar to the F2000 rifle upon headquarters’ request.

Also, because the gun had to accept AK rifle magazines, the original feeding design was altered to the AK rifle’s front lock and rear hang style.

Such rampant operations had turned the scientists’ high-hope new buttless rifle into an oddity, just like Britain’s so-called wonder rifle L85.

Headquarters had thought they could create an excellent rifle and standardized it as the Type 47 Buttless Rifle. However, the outcome was contrary to their wishes. When the rifle was delivered to the Advance Team, the feedback was not positive, receiving almost as much negative feedback as positive. Not only were Luo’er and his team dissatisfied, but Murong Squad also had complaints about this gun.

Due to the haphazard modifications, the original fragile balance of the gun was disrupted, making it quite unreliable, especially to accommodate AK magazines, so the new rifle’s magazine was designed in this curved form, making loading extremely troublesome, which was the main complaint among the Advance Team members.

Although the gun had good accuracy and an exceptionally low recoil, it had many faults. After receiving negative feedback from the Advance Team, headquarters could only shamefacedly take it back to the developers to restore the previous design, rapidly coming out with the 47-1 rifle.

This rifle made many corrections to the previous foolish designs, no longer compatible with AK magazines and using its own unique magazine. However, the design for both cased and caseless bullets was not adjusted in this model; the gun could still fire the AK’s M43 cased bullets, as well as caseless bullets.

Currently, the primary rifles equipped by the Advance Team are the improved 47-1 rifle and the modular rifle family. Comparatively, previous problems had been greatly improved, but there were still regrets.

Once the Otherworld Gate located in Lipei was open, headquarters would be able to directly transfer supplies to the Otherworld through this gate. At that time, headquarters’ armed personnel active in the Otherworld would no longer need to worry about supply issues, so the subsequent improved models of the Type 47 rifle might completely abandon the design for firing cased bullets and uniformly fire caseless bullets.

After burying the gun in the snow, Hu Daoke started the arduous task of loading bullets. Since he had no assistant, he had to do this miserable job himself, which caused him considerable headache: the thrill lasts for ten seconds, loading for ten minutes.

Meanwhile, guided by Fulajie’er, Feng was using the super-mobility gear to move quickly through the jungle, attempting to circle around and ambush those people.

It was odd to say, but although Feng was a native of the Otherworld, he managed to use the super-mobility gear skillfully after simple training, even more professionally than most people.

However, considering that Feng had very high mobility even without the super-mobility gear, unharmed after a ten-meter drop, no one found it strange.

To Feng, without the super-mobility gear, she could still maintain high mobility, the gear simply allowed her not to use the magic power in her body for mobility.

After reaching the position set by Fulajie’er, Feng hid behind a tree trunk, curling up, rubbing her hands together, shivering from the cold, her cheeks turning red from the freeze.

"Are you cold? I can summon some fire for you," Fulajie’er asked with concern, noticing her condition.

"No, it will attract attention," Feng decisively shook her head.

"But you..." Fulajie’er hesitated.

Feng took a deep breath, didn’t respond, but began to close her eyes and hold her breath, using the magic power within her body to circulate rapidly, generating warmth from inside out. Before long, she stopped shivering and instead began to sweat slightly from her forehead.
