Wang Tao pressed the intercom.
“You can come up now, and close the gate behind you.”
“Okay!”
After closing the gate, Han Rui hurried inside, her mind somewhat amazed. Although she hadn’t seen how Wang Tao had killed the zombies, through her perception, she could “see” that Wang Tao had killed the zombies instantly after bursting into the room, without giving them any chance to fight back! She really wished she had that kind of strength!
After Han Rui reached the upstairs, she saw Wang Tao scavenging through the room.
Hmm? Where are the bow and arrows?
Han Rui noticed the zombie’s body was empty-handed, and Wang Tao didn’t have the bow and arrows either… but there was a bow hanging on the wall, and Wang Tao had hung the zombie’s bow back up?
Han Rui found it a little strange but didn’t ask further.
The small villa was quite large, and it took Wang Tao and Han Rui a while to scavenge through it.
“There are three bows and one crossbow in total, 55 crossbow arrows, 150 bow and arrows, not much food, most have gone bad, only a few bags of rice are edible… and some electronic products that should be usable…”
After taking an inventory, Han Rui spoke to Wang Tao. Her eyes occasionally drifted towards the hand crossbow with a scope, more accurately a sniper crossbow.
“What? You want it?”
Wang Tao raised an eyebrow.
“Um…”
Han Rui nodded honestly.
She really wanted that crossbow; her shooting skills were actually not bad, but unfortunately, there were no opportunities for her to show them. However, with a crossbow, her combat ability would definitely get a big boost!
It was a compound crossbow with a matte black body but a red crossbow String, equipped with an optical scope and a quiver that could hold four spare arrows… Wang Tao wasn’t very familiar with crossbows and bows, but even he could tell that this crossbow was expensive.
And it wasn’t just about the expense, but such crossbows were rare, impossible to buy through regular channels in the country.
It’s legal to own bows. But owning a crossbow is illegal. The origins of this crossbow were definitely not legitimate.
For most people, the lethality of a crossbow far exceeds that of a bow After all archery requires practice, both skill, and strength. But a crossbow is different; ’ Its lethality depends on the crossbow, not the person. Even a child wielding it ’ could cause substantial harm!
So to some extent, the value of this crossbow was much higher than that of the three bows.
After admiring the crossbow for a while, Wang Tao handed it directly to Han Rui.
“I’m lending it to you.”
“Ah?”
Han Rui instinctively caught it but was somewhat incredulous.
She believed Wang Tao must be aware of the value of the crossbow, yet he just lent it to her? 1
“Don’t you know how to use it?”
Wang Tao frowned slightly.
“I do!”
Han Rui quickly hugged the compound crossbow close.
She was very proficient with the sniper crossbow; after all, the police department had crossbows, and she used them when carrying out certain tasks. The crossbow was also one of her assessment items and, without considering the firing rate, she was just as good with a crossbow as with a gun. “Good then,” Wang Tao said.
Wang Tao didn’t say more.
The crossbow was indeed a good piece of equipment, but he had just acquired something even better!
So lending the crossbow to Han Rui was quite appropriate.
After all, they would be scavenging for supplies together in the future, and having a teammate who could provide long-range support would make things much easier for Wang Tao.
After receiving the crossbow, Han Rui quickly operated it to get a feel for it.
Whoosh—
There was a target in the living room, and Han Rui tested it; she was hitting the target almost every time within a medium distance.
Wang Tao looked at the three bows, which were also modern compound bows and seemed quite good. But they definitely weren’t as expensive as the crossbow, and they were more challenging to master; not as convenient as a crossbow.
Wang Tao tried using them briefly; they were passable at close range, but anything further was a no-go. This was because he had learned archery-once dreaming of becoming a film and television protagonist, he had dabbled in things like archery and horse riding. Leaving aside his level of skill, at least he knew how to use them. During shooting, he could genuinely ride a horse and shoot arrows.
After scavenging through the small villa, Wang Tao was ready to retrieve the airdrop, and then take the opportunity to scavenge through the other villas.
The residential area was quite large, roughly divided into three parts: a villa district, an apartment block area, and an artificial lake.
Wang Tao felt this place could be developed into a Survivor Base, but it would require a lot of manpower to transform. And they would need to clear out the zombies in these apartment blocks, which was not an easy task.
There were more than a dozen buildings, each with two units, and each around ten to twenty stories tail… Wang Tao was unsure how many zombies were inside, but they couldn’t be cleared out in a short time, and it was very dangerous.
The location of the airdrop was in the square in front of several tall buildings.
“Do you think there are any survivors inside?”
Han Rui suddenly asked, looking at the tall buildings.
“Perhaps,”
Wang Tao glanced at the high-rise buildings. Even if there were survivors it was out of his hands to save them.
Because nobody knew how many zombies were inside these buildings and even with Wang Tao’s strength, he couldn’t guarantee his own safety. ’
Unless they could find their way out on their own, or inform Wang Tao of the specific situation inside, and then arrange tactics accordingly.
“Sigh…”
Han Rui shook her head, not dwelling on it further.
Of course, she hoped to rescue survivors, but she also knew that their primary mission was to ensure their own safety; only on the premise of their own safety could they rescue others…
The two took all the items they found in Villa No. 3 back to the car, and only then did they enter the residential area through the main gate..
