Among Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's side weapons, the only decent ones were survival rifles. It's not that they didn't have any other weapons, they were all in their survival bags and turned into ashes along with the landing ship.
After the second battle, Chu Jungui listed the bullets of the survival rifle as a priority target for construction, ranking alongside life-sustaining supplies.
It's just that now the two's material reserves are nearly exhausted and they can no longer build more fortifications.
Chu Jungui is responsible for cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the corpses of the alien beasts, and applying wounds to the alien beasts that are still alive. Lin Xi repaired the existing fortifications and traps. A simple barbed wire trap is surprisingly useful for dealing with strange animals.
The two of them were busy on their own, and the mask display was peaceful, with no more alarms appearing.
However, in the distant forest, in the center of a huge leaf, two strange lizard-like creatures were lying. They are deep purple in color and almost blend into the leaves. Even if you look closely, it is not easy to spot. They have three eyes on their heads, one large and two small. The large central eye seems to have multiple pupils.
At this moment, their eyes fell on the rifles of Chu Jungui and Lin Xi, and then looked to the side of the cockpit. There were some supplies stacked there, the most important of which was an ammunition box with neatly stacked magazines.
The two lizard beasts closed their eyes and disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
At this time, Chu Jungui dragged the corpses of seven or eight strange beasts back. This planet is so dangerous, these corpses cannot be discarded casually, otherwise they may attract more powerful predators or scavengers. Even if these strange beasts are edible, they still have to be burned or buried.
Chu Jungui walked step by step, and the distance between the cockpit and him was getting closer and closer, now less than 500 meters.
At this moment, a red alert suddenly lit up in the mask's field of vision!
Lin Xi was at the base. He reacted almost instantly, grabbed the rifle and raised his hand to shoot. Two masses of lavender flesh exploded on the ground, and two lizard beasts completely integrated with the ground appeared. They were about the same size as ordinary puppies, and their defenses were not very good. Half of their bodies were blown apart by Lin Xi's few shots.
However, their vitality is extremely tenacious. One of them only has its head left, but its big mouth opens and spits out a large ball of lavender mucus.
Lin Xi instinctively avoided it. This slime was definitely not a good thing. She didn't want to get stuck to the armor.
The mucus is as fast as water bombs, and it doesn't look like something a living thing can spit out. Its target was not Lin Xi, but the ammunition box.
The slime ball landed on the ammunition box with a splat, and white smoke billowed out immediately. The ammunition box and the magazine inside were being reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye. The corrosive power of this slime is really amazing.
Lin Xi was shocked. How could she not know the importance of these reserve ammunition, but the mucus could not be touched at all. What should she do?
Just when she hesitated, gunshots rang out in the distance, and the remaining ammunition boxes were shattered by Chu Jungui's shot. The magazines flew everywhere, and some magazines were broken, scattering bullets everywhere.
Lin Xi suddenly realized that the bullets in the survival rifle were all advanced chemical energy ammunition. If they were not fired in the gun, they would not explode even if they were burned in a fire. Chu Jungui broke up the ammunition box with one shot, at least able to save some ammunition that was not stained by the mucus.
Chu Jungui couldn't care less about the corpse of the strange beast and rushed back.
Lin Xi had already picked up a lot of scattered magazines, and then looked at the shallow pits on the ground in a daze. These shallow pits are all left by the lizard beast's mucus. The magazines and bullets that were stained were all corroded into gray-white powder, and they were not even worth recycling.
Chu Jungui picked up half of the lizard beast's body and looked at it, then threw it on the ground and asked, "How many bullets do we have?"
"Including the contents of the gun, there are only 221 rounds left in total." Lin Xi's face was ugly. These bullets might not be able to stop the impact of the alien beast.
Chu Jungui picked up two empty large-capacity magazines and threw them to Lin Xi, saying, "Refill them and put them all in the large-capacity magazines. I'm afraid the third wave of impact is coming."
Knowing that time was running out, Lin Xi took the magazine, picked up all the bullets scattered on the ground, and quickly loaded it.
Chu Jungui came over with a bundle of whittled wooden sticks, stuffed a discarded cabin board into the manufacturing machine, and chose to make individual alloy sheets. While waiting, he sharpened one end of the stick and rolled it up with the alloy sheet, turning it into a simple metal spear.
Chu Jungui moved very quickly, and the speed at which he whittled the wooden sticks exceeded the speed at which the manufacturing machine could produce alloy pieces. In the blink of an eye, there were more than ten wooden short spears piled at his feet.
At this time, Lin Xi had loaded the magazine and reinforced the existing barbed wire trap. Chu Jungui called her over, handed her several short spears, and then demonstrated a few basic movements. Lin Xi was extremely smart and learned these actions in an instant.
She had only practiced twice before a large red alert appeared on the monitor again. This time the herd was larger.
Chu Jungui jumped onto the roof of the cockpit and stretched out two fingers to indicate to Lin Xi: "Two shots at each end, weaken rather than kill."
As soon as they were ready, a large herd appeared on the horizon. This time the herd was larger, with more than sixty animals. With such a quantity, it would be very difficult for two people to cope without bullet restrictions, not to mention that the supply of bullets is now close to being cut off.
As soon as the beasts appeared, Chu Jungui opened fire without hesitation, and the roar of the survival rifle never stopped. Although he was shooting at almost the highest rate of fire, Chu Jungui's body showed very rhythmic fluctuations, and each fluctuation was stuck behind two bullets.
In this way, Chu Jungui fired two bullets in groups, with the rear bullets following the front bullets, hitting the heads of different beasts almost in a straight line. The former bullet sent the alien beast's mouth flying in all directions, while the latter bullet blasted in from the path created by the previous bullet, smashing the fragile structure inside the mouth to pieces.
Not only is this kind of shooting skill beyond the reach of ordinary humans, but it is also beyond the reach of complete war machines. The basis for Chu Jungui's ability to produce this effect is actually based on the basic combat function component with version number as high as 23. The components optimized by Dr. Zero are about to allow Chu Jungui to achieve cell-level control.
Two rounds of bullets are not enough to kill the alien beast, and it takes four rounds to guarantee the kill. However, Chu Jungui's two bullets could still severely damage the alien beasts. The pain caused by the severe injuries caused many alien beasts to roll on the spot, and some even went crazy and started attacking the same kind around them.
Next to Chu Jungui, Lin Xi's shooting speed was much slower. She was not in a hurry for success, but patiently fired shot after shot to ensure that a strange beast was weakened enough before moving on to the next target. At this time, the number of bullets is limited, and she must ensure that Chu Jungui uses the bullets.
When the herd of beasts rushed to the barbed wire fence, there were still more than twenty beasts. Even though many beasts were shot twice, they endured the pain and continued to charge.
