Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s was quite interested in the M61 Vulcan . Meanwhile, he also found a box of bullets beside it . The box not only contained the M61 Vulcan's 20mm bullets, but also the Barrett's 12,7mm bullets .
"Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles?" exclaimed Jiang Lius.h.i.+ the moment he saw the box .
The bullets he had obtained from Long Teng were steel-core ones, which were the standard type . Tungsten-core ones, however, were rare . After all, tungsten was not cheap in the least . The tungsten alloy's density was twice more than that of steel, which meant that under the same caliber, the tungsten bullets' weight would be double . Of course, its power would be entirely different from the former one .
What shocked Jiang Lius.h.i.+ most was a box next to the one he was looking at . After Ran Xiyu translated what was written on it, Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s expression changed, and he touched his chin . One of the words printed on the box was – Uranium!
'Uranium armor-piercing projectiles?' Jiang Lius.h.i.+ fell into a daze .
Before doomsday, it was impossible for regular people to come in contact with such weapons and ammunition . They could only read about them in military magazines . After all, uranium was a critical component for the production of nuclear weapons . Its density far surpa.s.sed tungsten .
In China, tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles were quite common due to their large deposits of tungsten ore . Considering the radioactive pollution of depleted uranium bombs, China had limited the number of uranium armor-piercing projectiles .
In America, however, things were entirely different . The lack of tungsten and the rich deposits of uranium boosted them to the top producers of uranium bombs . Undoubtedly, the uranium projectiles were far superior to the tungsten ones, especially those in the box, which were about 20mm .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ picked up one, and he found out that the length of his hand, from his fingertips to his wrist, was still smaller than the bullet . Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was really fascinated, and he could not help but wonder what would happen if he were to infuse his strengthened blue energy with the bullets .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ approached the beautiful store shop a.s.sistant and asked, "I would like to buy these bullets, how much?" He had already inquired about this area's currency . Other than evolution crystals, beer, cigars, marijuana, and so on, could be used as hard currency .
Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+ didn't need evolution crystals, he had acc.u.mulated a lot of them . No matter where they pa.s.sed, they searched for materials, and purchased or looted them according to the occasion, so his storage s.p.a.ce was filled with all kind of commodities . Moreover, his laboratory could produce evolutionary crystals of the best quality .
After dealing with Shen Hai, Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s team had obtained a lot of level-1 mutant nuclei . Other than the ones Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had consumed to undergo his evolution, the rest were thrown to the laboratory to produce evolutionary crystals .
What came as a surprise to Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was the shop a.s.sistant's cold att.i.tude . The M4/M16 Carbine and Barrett bullets in the front shelf are enough for you," she said .
Although Jiang Lius.h.i.+'s English was good, it was still difficult for him to communicate fluently . Fortunately, Ran Xiyu was there to help him .
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ frowned . "Why are you showcasing those weapons and ammo if you don't plan on selling them?"
The beautiful shop a.s.sistant replied, "This gathering area is near to the sea . Sometimes the mutant beasts lurking in the sea launch sudden attacks . Our combatants need these weapons to kill those mutant beasts . Even we sell the heavy weapons to you, I'm pretty sure you don't know how to handle them . The M16 and the other weapons in the front are enough for you to keep your life . Let me guess, you want to use the heavy weapons to shoot at zombies, right?"
"It's none of your business! I don't think you're the person in charge here . What gives you the right to judge whether we can use them or not?" barked Jiang Zhuying after listening to Ran Xiyu interpretation . In her opinion, the beautiful shop a.s.sistant had her finger in their pie .
"Oh, My G.o.d, Ran Xiyu?"
At that moment, a pleasant voice sounded from the side . As a result, Jiang Zhuying, who wanted to say more, stopped and turned back in surprise, wondering who Ran Xiyu's acquaintance may be .
A 20-years-old man, wearing a US military uniform, was looking at Ran Xiyu in surprise . "Ran Xiyu, how could you be here?" he asked .
"Are you . . . " Ran Xiyu also felt surprised .
"Ah, after I graduated, I joined the military . I didn't expect that after serving for half a year, the world would come upside down . You should be in China, but why are you here? Regardless, it's good to see you!" said the young man in excitement .
"It's a long story . We traveled from China here . "
Upon hearing that, the young man was rendered speechless . Soon, he snapped out of his shock and asked more about Ran Xiyu's situation . He clearly didn't believe that she had traveled all the way from China . After all, only a few mighty figures could cross the sea after doomsday .
Ran Xiyu didn't try to change the young man's mind . Instead, she smiled and introduced the others, "This is the captain of my team, Captain Jiang, and the rest of my teammates . "
After introducing everyone, Ran Xiyu added, "This is a former cla.s.smate of mine from when I was studying back in America . His name is Abbott . "
"Nice to meet you all . " Abbott greeted them happily . At the same time, he kind of shocked as the Ran Xiyu he knew was a cold girl . But while introducing her teammates, her tone was nice and warm .
"When I came in, I seemed to hear that you had a dispute?" asked Abbott suddenly .
Truth be told, Abbott had entered because of the two parties' quarrel . He didn't expect to meet Ran Xiyu here of all places .
The beautiful shop a.s.sistant's expression was somewhat ugly . It had not crossed her mind that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and the others actually knew an officer .
"Sir, I-"
Jiang Zhuying interrupted her, saying, "She refused to sell us the things over there . "
"What do you want to buy?" asked Abbott curiously .
"Sir, he wants to buy the M61 and bullets," replied the shop a.s.sistant while looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ .
Hearing that, Abbott fixed his eyes on Jiang Lius.h.i.+ . He could tell that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was powerful but could not understand why the latter needed such a heavy weapon and so many bullets .
"Since the goods are on display, if there are customers that want to purchase them, then they should be sold," said Abbott to the shop a.s.sistant .
"Thank you . " Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had a good impression of Abbott .
"You're welcome . Since you're Ran Xiyu's teammates, you're also my friends . " Abbott laughed and then he said to Ran Xiyu, "Xiyu, it's a pleasant surprise to meet you here today . Tomorrow night, we will hold a large celebration party . May I invite you and your friends to join?"
