Armor-piercing bullets don't believe in carbon-based monsters

Chapter 55 Becoming Bigger and Stronger
Chen Jian led the other six members of the team to unpack all the packaging boxes, took out the contents and placed them neatly on the ground, then moved the boxes to the passage. After everything was put together, they returned to the first floor of the fortification to check them one by one.

Unlike the second and third layers, the materials piled up on the first layer of the fortifications are basically "consumer-type" materials.

At first glance, there are all kinds of weapons, ammunition, common tools, medicines, etc.

Chen Jian looked at them one by one, his face showing a mixture of joy and sorrow.

The good thing is that there are a lot of things, which can basically deal with most situations.

What’s worrying is that after 300 years, many things here may no longer be usable.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Jian gave the order:

"Shen Yue, sort out the medicines first and see what they are and whether they can still be used."

"clear."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue immediately started to count the medicines on the ground, and reported as he counted:

"120 pieces of thermostatically sealed adrenaline."

"But the incubator has completely failed and its seal has been damaged. It can almost be concluded that it is useless."

"A large amount of naloxone hydrochloride, a large amount of methylprednisolone and other emergency drugs used to deal with multiple organ failure, you know without even looking that they can't be used."

"Anti-radiation drugs include nialstradiol, acetylcysteine, and indoleamine - they are all hormones and amines, and they cannot be used."

“But there is still a small amount of sulfur-containing metal complexing agent, which I feel can be used, but it seems that we can’t use it.”

"After all, we have not found any excessive radiation doses so far."

"The rest are mostly common medicines, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, vitamins, and trace element supplements. There are not many that can be used, but I think antibiotic powder may still be useful."

"But it's best not to take any chances - they left us an alternative plan."

"Here is a complete set of paper instructions for the synthesis of vancomycin, complete with fermentation tanks, chromatography purification equipment, and drying equipment. The only problem is the lack of raw materials. However, the instructions also describe how to isolate Streptomyces orientalis from soil."

“It’s quite difficult to operate, but it’s not impossible to synthesize it.”

"But if conditions are limited, it's easier to get some oranges and make penicillin first."

"There are no other items left, mainly disinfectants used to treat external injuries and various surgical and bandaging instruments, which can still be used."

"That's enough."

Chen Jian nodded and continued:

"The most likely problem we will encounter now is trauma. If we can deal with the trauma, the rest can be solved slowly."

"Yes, I don't think it's a big problem."

Shen Yue put down the bandage in his hand and said thoughtfully:

"But the configuration of these drugs is still quite targeted. They are probably still highly skeptical about radiation, but relatively less concerned about viruses."

"Lei Jie, have you finished reading the stuff on the computer? What does Hua Xi say in the information he uploaded?"

Hearing his words, Lei Jie, who was studying the various data stored in the terminal, shook his head and said disappointedly:

“The reports uploaded by Huaxi are basically quite routine, with very detailed information, but I can’t see any problems.”

"Even if we want to read this thing, it's not something we can understand at our level. It's too difficult to catch those clues."

"And most importantly, there is a point mentioned here. Although the patients were facing the problem of multiple organ failure, they did not observe obvious signs of damage on the patients' skin, no signs of muscle lysis, and no radiation damage in the bones."

"It's very strange, isn't this radiation?"

"It is also possible that he died too quickly and there was no time to analyze it."

Chen Jian took over and then said:

"Never mind that for now, let's just look at the weapons."

"What's there?"

As soon as these words were spoken, He Shuo, who was in charge of organizing the weapons, immediately became alert.

"That's a lot!"

"Four PBP4 mortars. They are the same model as the ones we found before, but they have their own electro-optical aiming system and are still usable."

"48 shells, 8 boxes."

"A sniper grenade. The model number is QLU-193. It's lighter than the QLU-131 and has a foldable stock, but the caliber is a circle larger than the QLU-131."

"We were given 120 rounds of ammunition, 5 boxes."

"The phobia of insufficient firepower is really in the advanced stage. It has been 20 years, and it is still not cured?"

"It would be strange if it could be cured."

Chen Jian waved his hand and squatted down to take a look. Zeng Yi, who was standing beside him, suddenly asked:
"Is this the gun you used to kill the mother in Chuansha City?"

Chen Jian nodded and replied:
"It's the same kind, but not the same."

"I see. A very powerful firearm, more powerful than some of the Mechanicus' artillery."

"gun?"

Chen Jian burst out laughing.

"You have the nerve to call something like that a 'cannon'. If we find something like a 155 howitzer, you will know what a true god of war is."

"155 pomegranate."

Zeng Yi nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more, but just remembered the name in his heart.

After mentioning the 155 pomegranate, Chen Jian seemed to suddenly remember something and continued to ask:
"What about the heavy weapons? They won't all be these individual weapons, right?"

"There are heavy weapons."

He Shuo stood up, pointed at the box behind him and said:
"These two boxes contain disassembled QJZ-301 machine guns, 12.7*108 caliber, with 4000 rounds of ammunition."

"This box contains QJG-22 machine guns, made of titanium alloy! 14.5 caliber, with 8000 rounds of ammunition."

".The larger the caliber, the more ammunition you have. What kind of thinking is that?"

Chen Jian made a joke, and He Shuo replied with a smile:

"If we fire the machine gun horizontally, 8000 rounds won't be enough to kill the bullfrog - even though it seems easy for us to kill it, it's actually very unsafe."

"Now with these two suppressive firepower, even if the bullets can't kill it, we can pin it down on the spot."

"It's impossible not to be able to wear this."

Chen Jian shook his head and said:
"Based on the physical strength of a level 14.5 monster, a single round from a mm machine gun can almost turn it into powder." "But it's true that there are not enough bullets. I guess it's only enough to kill five or six of them."

"That's a bit extravagant. There's also a barrel here, you can use it to hit it."

"DZJ19, the same model you used before, 24 rounds."

He Shuo bared his teeth and continued:
"There are so many of these things. To be honest, the space they take up is enough to put an infantry fighting vehicle, and if you make some room, you can put down a Type 99A."

"I don't know why the weapons are configured like this."

Before Chen Jian could answer, Xie Liu behind him suddenly spoke:

"Perhaps our ancestors in the old days didn't know there were monsters?"

“Or maybe they think that if they leave those things behind, people who come after them may not necessarily use them?”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Jian was stunned.

"Indeed, this should be considered, but do you know 99A?"

"You said that when we entered Hanshui City, and I remembered it."

"So that's not a holy elephant, but an infantry fighting vehicle?"

Xie Liu asked tentatively.

"No, the 99A is a tank, and the infantry fighting vehicle is something else."

Chen Jian answered casually, and Xie Liu looked suddenly enlightened.

She felt that she had entered a completely different world since she stepped into this underground space.

The glory of the old era was embodied in weapons, equipment, and medicines that she could not name, making her wonder how powerful that era was.

Perhaps if there hadn't been that sudden catastrophe, even if monsters appeared, they would be ants under the feet of humans who are comparable to gods?
-
No, the chosen ones have said that they do not believe in God.

They only believe in themselves.

Is it because they only believe in themselves that they can create such a world?
Xie Liu felt that she was getting closer to the Chosen Ones, but she couldn't tell why.
At this time, Chen Jian did not notice her subtle change. He had already followed He Shuo to the largest pile of weapons.

"There are two automatic howitzers here, QLZ-24, 35mm caliber. Look at the bracket below, they should be installed on the cat car. There are 480 rounds of ammunition."

"This is an 82mm PBW024 recoilless rifle. It has 24 rounds of ammunition, 8 rounds each for armor-piercing, assault, and explosive. Overall, it's OK."

"The rest are all rifles, all 7.62 in 191 version, and four 4 machine guns, also in 201. I can't count the bullets, but I estimate there are more than 7.62 rounds. At a glance, there are at least boxes."

"In the short term, at least we won't be short of bullets for small arms."

"But there's not a lot of heavy firepower."

"Considering safety, if we use the level 3 monsters we killed before as an analogy, we can probably kill about 20 of them?"

"If we encounter a level 2 monster, we might only be able to kill a few of them, right?"

“That’s not how it works.”

After hearing He Shuo's inference, Zeng Yi interrupted and said:

"If you think these weapons can kill twenty level three monsters, then if they are level two monsters, they may only be able to kill one or two, or even none at all."

"That exaggerated?"

"Yes."

Zeng Yi nodded and continued:

"Although level three monsters are already very strong, their number is not small, there are at least thousands of them."

"But most of the time, they get along peacefully with humans who don't invade their territory."

"When you reach level 2 or above, the number of monsters decreases dramatically."

"Based on our current records, we estimate that the number of Level 40 monsters in the entire south will not exceed ."

"As for the first-level monster, the Mechanicus has seen it twice, and the Holy Blood Temple has recorded it four times. Two of them were the same monster, so we have only seen five."

"so."

Chen Jian frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"But the density doesn't seem right. Judging from the territory of Hanshui, the third-level monster, the entire country can't hold so many, not to mention the barren areas. There won't be enough food, right?"

"Enough."

Zeng Yi explained again:
"Not all monsters are huge. Some level 2 monsters are only slightly larger than the praying mantises you've seen, only four or five meters tall."

"But its combat effectiveness is very strong."

"have you seen?"

Chen Jian asked sharply.

"I've seen it."

Zeng Yi took a deep breath and replied:

"In Luling. Two years ago, a monster massacred thousands of people overnight and then went back into the mountains."

“Until now, it has not reappeared.”

"We went there to conduct reconnaissance, but we still don't know why it killed people and why it left after killing them."

"The only clue is the name the locals gave it, mandrill."

Chen Jian looked at Xie Liu and Li Shi, and they both nodded to confirm Zeng Yi's statement.

It seems that this monster classification is not as accurate as I thought. It is purely based on whether humans can handle it or not.

Fortunately, the current environment is relatively stable and there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

Thinking of this, Chen Jian said:
"That's basically all we have. In terms of weapons, we are truly wealthy now."

"But before that, there are two more questions."

"Food and shelter."

"There is only a small amount of food in the emergency reserves of the fortifications, which will not last long."

"Next, we have to find a way to get enough food and build a living place."

"If we want to become bigger and stronger, we need both border area construction and Nanniwan."
