CHAPTER 591: CHAPTER 431: THIS IS OUR WAR!!

The roaring heavy truck is carrying a squad of three hundred men, speeding down the northern road!

The burly driver has his eyes fixed on the road ahead, his expression unchanged, yet he’s quite excited at the moment!

"Boss, you’re really freaking us out." You Siyuan commented from the passenger seat, looking at Fei Yue, whose hands were on the wheel but whose eyes seemed to be ablaze.

"It’ll get even scarier soon! Hahaha." Fei Yue kept his eyes ahead, but the grin at the corner of his mouth couldn’t be hidden.

Earlier this noon, everyone was fervently excited, swearing to let Lin Yue see how much stronger they’d gotten.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yue gave them the opportunity so quickly. Just hours had passed, they had barely gone through two rounds of shooting practice when Lin Yue handed them the chance to perform!

After returning, they had a big meal and a good sleep, woke up and went through two more rounds of target practice, followed by Fei Yue’s mobilization order!

Everyone hurried to sign up, each eager to show Fei Yue their enthusiasm!

Of course, they were all holding their breath, wanting Lin Yue to see that their combat strength was no joke!

"Boss, you’re exaggerating—scary, you mean when you shoot and miss the target every time, right?" You Siyuan teased.

"Hey, everyone has something they’re not good at. Look, I’m pretty accurate with a crossbow, aren’t I? This requires practice — it can’t be mastered overnight. Back then when Lin Yue gave us crossbows, we only managed to repel the Lizardmen attacking the Refugee Village because there were so many of them. And guess what happened the next day? When everyone went for target practice, they all shot way off target!"

"Oh, so this requires practice too, huh?" You Siyuan fiddled with the M19 Pistol in his hand, loading and disassembling it skillfully, as if it were a toy, "Did you see earlier, us three are sharpshooters, aren’t we?"

"Alright, I know what you used to do. You were playing with these in the courtyard before you came here, impressive, impressive." Fei Yue laughed, "Does Xing Lingfeng not see you as leaders? With such great combat abilities, does he alone decide everything? Can he beat you guys?"

You Siyuan pursed his lips, "Us three were in the same squad. At that time we all knew each other, and after coming over here, we realized we’re in the same group. We just gathered together since we didn’t have any relatives, got along just fine, but before long, we saw Xing Lingfeng recruiting people."

"Oh? Is that how it is?" It was the first time Fei Yue heard about it.

"We knew the old geezer was some international renowned survival expert, so we eagerly followed him... Say, boss, did you know that? The old geezer had gathered piles of gasoline and diesel, along with all sorts of oil products, and loads of nitrocellulose—a material everybody knows is for making bullets. When we saw the potential, we figured once armed, we’d be unstoppable, so we followed him. But later, as you know, things didn’t go well, and us brothers split from him."

Fei Yue was taken aback: "What did you just say? Nitrocellulose?"

"Yeah, primer, you wouldn’t not know, right? Without that stuff, we’d only be able to use saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal to make black gunpowder for bullets, but the power—"

Fei Yue suddenly laughed heartily, without saying a word.

You Siyuan did not quite understand: "Boss?"

"To tell you the truth, I was just thinking about future bullet issues myself, and had no clue how to make them... And you just mentioned nitrocellulose?"

"Yep, nitrocellulose, brass and bronze—making bullets itself isn’t that difficult, but without machinery, we’d rely on blueprints. After all, we can’t produce them ourselves. Though Lin Yue gave us seventy-something rounds, the magazine is enormous, seems heavily modified, but once they’re used up..."

"I have it." Fei Yue said mysteriously.

"You have what? Blueprints?"

"No, nitrocellulose!" Fei Yue took a deep breath, "That stuff is flammable and explosive. After I got it from a treasure chest, I stored it in my Storage Space, since it doesn’t take up much room... Back then I thought if it wasn’t useful, I’d either toss it out or give it to Lin Yue, didn’t realize it was for making bullets?"

"Damn, boss, are you kidding? You didn’t know nitrocellulose was used for this? Really?"

"Nah, I was just a long-haul driver before, who would’ve known that stuff could make bullets?" Fei Yue laughed and swore.

"Can I ask how much you have? Without guns, that stuff’s worthless. With guns, it’s more expensive than gold... no, now it’s probably more expensive than booze?"

"Wow, I have 270 kilograms here, can you believe it? How many bullets can it make?" Fei Yue swallowed, wanting to check his Storage Space for confirmation, but he was driving at high speed!

At a speed fast enough to send a random passing Mutant Sheep flying!

Bang!

Another crash, whatever mutated creature had just jumped onto the road was sent hurdling into the roadside grass by this heavy truck, seemingly obliterated.

On one side, You Siyuan’s face had gone pale.

Not because of the collision, but because Fei Yue actually had 270 kilograms of nitrocellulose!
