Chapter 10: Seeking Wealth in Danger (Part 2)

The military vehicle is a typical truck, with a closed cargo compartment at the back, and it is unclear what it is carrying. Out of curiosity, Wu Ming naturally intends to take a look, as it would be quite a windfall if it were loaded with arms.

Looking at the vitality collector on his wrist, a small piece of jade was surprisingly filled to capacity with vitality. This meant that in less than half an hour, Wu Ming had actually obtained three units of vitality, which could definitely be considered a significant gain. As for the remaining vitality in the carriage, Wu Ming could only give up on it for now.

This experience can be described as both thrilling and delightful. If one must use a phrase to characterize it, it would be "fortune favors the bold." It also made Wu Ming suddenly realize that although his previous plans were sound, they were indeed too "conservative" and petty.

Two insectoid corpses lay in front of him. Wu Ming got up from the ground and hurried to check on the condition of the three soldiers, only to let out a sigh.

He took off his coat and wrapped up two Type 95 rifles along with their magazines. Wu Ming quietly returned to the community. By this time, the bodies in the community had already been removed, and several police officers in uniform were sealing off the sewer entrance from which the creature had emerged using stones and cement. The area was surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

In less than a minute, the helicopter arrived on top of the truck at https://m.hetushucomcom, and soon seven or eight armed soldiers descended by rope to inspect the scene

Wu Ming took off his clothes and removed his hat, yet no one noticed that he was the fierce man who had previously single-handedly killed the insect. He smoothly ascended the stairs and knocked on the door. Li Xia, already pale with fear, immediately opened the door upon seeing Wu Ming return

Therefore, Wu Ming can responsibly say that he is a skilled marksman. However, in the new world, due to technological and equipment limitations, the firearms manufactured by humans are all of simple structure, with the SKS and AK series from the Cold War period being particularly popular. People often only need a firearm that can shoot bullets, while considerations such as material, advanced technology, and ergonomics have all been cast aside.

As for the two units of vitality, Wu Ming does not intend to stay here and slowly gather them; he plans to venture out to hunt some insect people, as only in this way can he awaken sooner.

The gun fired, the bullet compressed the air, and at a speed barely visible to the naked eye, it struck the vital point of the insectoid.

For a long time, Wu Ming had been thinking of keeping himself in a safe environment, unaware that this was merely a wishful thinking.

At that moment, he glanced at the vitality collector on his wrist, and indeed it was pulsating rapidly. In less than ten minutes, it had accumulated a full unit of vitality

At present, Wu Ming has absorbed the energy units from those three sources, and the amount of energy accumulated within his body has reached ten. This means that he needs an additional fourteen units to meet the energy requirement for awakening

One must realize that awakening a bit earlier allows for taking control a bit sooner. Moreover, I have currently acquired firearms, and relying on my marksmanship, as long as I do not encounter more than five insectoids or get approached by two insectoids, there is basically no significant danger.

In the distance, the sound of a helicopter could be heard, growing increasingly closer. Wu Ming, not wanting to attract trouble, immediately jumped down from the truck and disappeared into the darkness

Of course, Wu Ming also understands that the power of firearms is ultimately limited. In the future, in the new world, the only true dominant force will be cards, and nothing else.

As for the Type 95 in hand at this moment, Wu Ming has also used it for a period of time in the New World, so he is very familiar with it

In an alley a hundred meters away, Wu Ming thought to himself that he ran fast; if he delayed any longer, he might be discovered by these soldiers, and at that point, trouble would be unavoidable

With a puff, two clouds of blood mist erupted, while there was still green liquid in m.hetushu.com.com

In the next moment, the insectoid fell to the ground, and only then did two shell casings drop to the floor, producing a crisp clinking sound

I will take a break for a while; please prepare some food for me, as I am a bit hungry! After experiencing a series of battles and running all the way, Wu Ming was indeed somewhat exhausted. After he finished speaking, he directly entered his room, hiding the Type 95 and Type 92 firearms, along with the ammunition, under the bed. He then sat on the bed and began to absorb the energy from the jade stone that was already filled with vitality.

Fortunately, even with only five units of vitality, Wu Ming could gather the amount of vitality needed for awakening. However, a few minutes later, Wu Ming realized that he might not even be able to gather enough vitality, not even the five units.

Thousands of soldiers are now gathered on the defensive line of the old city, engaged in a desperate battle against the insectoids. Only those equipped with heavy firepower stand a chance of killing so many insectoids and extracting such a large number of parasitic beetles. At this moment, Wu Ming has stumbled upon a great opportunity; the energy in the carriage is abundant. Soon, Wu Ming has once again collected a unit of energy.

The compartment was filled with the corpses of parasitic beetles, densely piled together with at least a hundred of them. It was evident that this truck had come from the war zone in the old city. Inside the vehicle, Wu Ming also found a pass from a certain research institution. Perhaps hetushu.com officially intended to begin research on these parasitic beetles, which is why they were collected. However, Wu Ming was not concerned about any of this.

Undoubtedly, at this stage, the items in the car are at least more useful than weapons, at least for Wu Ming.

At this moment, the night is deepening. Due to the lack of electricity, the streets on both sides are already shrouded in darkness, with not a single person on the road, except for the headlights of a military vehicle casting a faint light.

Currently, Wu Ming is collecting the weapons from three deceased soldiers, which include two Type 95 rifles, over 200 rounds of ammunition, and one Type 92 pistol, with only 50 rounds of ammunition.

Wu Ming immediately wore a joyful expression; if these could be saved a bit, they would be sufficient. Who would have thought that this time going downstairs to rescue someone would unexpectedly yield additional rewards

The apocalypse is upon us, and there is no place that is safe; only by mastering powerful forces can one possess the ability to protect oneself

He only knows that the amount of vital energy contained in so many dead parasitic beetles must be astonishing. Even though most of the parasitic beetles have been dead for several days, with over 80 to 90 percent of their vital energy dissipated, the sheer quantity is still sufficient for him to collect enough vital energy for awakening.

At this moment, the energy collector resembled a magnet, drawing all the energy from the corpses of the parasitic beetles in the carriage. In reality, the total amount of energy that could be extracted from the hundreds of beetle corpses was at most a little over a dozen units. Furthermore, considering the energy that was continuously dissipating, the actual amount that could be effectively absorbed would likely not exceed five units of energy

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground and holding the Type 95 in his hand, Wu Ming felt a stir in his heart. He thought to himself that he had been worrying about how to obtain better weapons for self-defense; was this not the best opportunity?

All three soldiers died, and Wu Ming knew that if it weren't for him, they might not have had to die. However, in the critical situation just now, there was no time to provide assistance.

Wu Ming's marksmanship is exceptional; three years of survival in the New World is sufficient to transform someone who has never handled a firearm into a true expert in using guns

Wu Ming looked at the progress bar on the energy collector, his heart racing. This was an extremely rare opportunity. If he were to rely solely on himself, it would be impossible to collect such a large number of parasitic beetles at the same time. However, the military could.

In the previous life, during the days before awakening, Wu Ming struggled to survive relying on a gun he had exchanged for food from the black market. At that time, every day was a desperate fight for food and bullets. Even after successfully awakening eight months later and being able to harness the power of the cards, Wu Ming always carried a gun with him.

It was only when Wu Ming opened the car door that he was taken aback by what he saw, and in the next moment, he burst into hearty laughter
