Gu Yicheng’s series of actions in shooting were indeed too fast. Ruan Ning only reacted when the zombie fell to the ground, realizing that it was all over.
This gun had been modified, so it wouldn’t strain her wrists too much, considering she was a girl with not much strength. It even had a silencer installed, making the sound quieter than she had imagined.
—From her amateur perspective, this was definitely a good gun.
She couldn’t believe that Gu Yicheng would be willing to give her such a good thing.
Ruan Ning thought to herself in a daze.
“Has Ning Ning learned now?” Gu Yicheng whispered lightly in the ear of the person in his arms, a pleasant mood evident in the slight curve of his lips.
Ruan Ning was uncomfortable with such close contact with a stranger, especially now that Gu Yicheng was blowing air into her ear again.
Her breath, which had just managed to steady a little, became chaotic again.
“I’ve learned, I’ve learned!” Ruan Ning hastily replied.
She was afraid that if she said she hadn’t learned, this person would teach her again, hand in hand, which felt too strange, so she could only nod quickly.
Gu Yicheng stood behind Ruan Ning, raised an eyebrow, glanced at her, and didn’t say much more. He let go of her hand, completely leaving the use of the gun to her.
With the person’s breath behind her receding, Ruan Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Did you see that zombie? That’s your target now,” Gu Yicheng stood aside, quickly disposing of the other two zombies that had followed, deliberately letting only one zombie in.
Ruan Ning concentrated and looked at the zombie Gu Yicheng pointed out.
The face of this zombie seemed to have been smashed by a heavy object before. Half of its face had no flesh, leaving only an empty skull, while the other half was also torn apart, making it impossible to see its original appearance.
Because the zombie was still some distance away from where she was standing, Ruan Ning could barely maintain her focus and aim at the target.
However, there was a significant difference between the zombie and the motionless targets in the training room. It took her time to aim, but the zombie wouldn’t just stand there and let her shoot.
So…
As expected, she missed the shot.
She had intended to hit its head, but during the zombie’s movement, she ended up hitting it near its right eye, close to the ear. For an undead creature that felt no pain, the damage at that location was practically ineffective.
Ruan Ning: “…” It seemed she had overestimated herself.
Ruan Ning had previously thought that if luck were on her side, she would have a hit rate of three or four shots out of ten. However, reality told her that even with extraordinary luck, she couldn’t achieve such a level.
Why did everything go so smoothly when Gu Yicheng helped her to kill zombies just now? Almost every shot hit the mark precisely, as if he could hit wherever he aimed.
However, Ruan Ning didn’t have time to dwell on her frustration. The lone zombie seemed to have targeted her, ignoring Gu Yicheng nearby, and kept coming closer to her. Now it was getting closer and closer.
In the face of danger, Ruan Ning subconsciously looked in Gu Yicheng’s direction. However, Gu Yicheng just stood there, watching her without any intention of helping, and even had a hint of amusement in his eyes.
…Could a brother just stand by and watch so calmly?!
And why was he smiling so happily about it? QAQ
In fact, after they arrived at the factory, and Gu Yicheng went through a series of teaching her to kill zombies and practicing with her, Ruan Ning now understood that Gu Yicheng didn’t bring her here to let her have an easy time, but literally to kill zombies. At most, he might have wanted to scare her a bit.
Although she understood, seeing the zombie approaching and Gu Yicheng looking so indifferent, Ruan Ning couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy. Really, just a little bit!
She looked away, no longer looking at Gu Yicheng, and turned to face the zombie that wanted to bite her.
It seemed that she had to deal with this zombie on her own. Ruan Ning backed away while shooting at the zombie. This time, she didn’t care much about accuracy and just relied on the positions Gu Yicheng and Li Bao had told her to shoot.
She didn’t know how many shots she fired exactly, but the zombie was finally killed before she ran out of bullets.
As Ruan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, she felt a little disappointed.
She had to admit that she was too weak now.
Gu Yicheng could kill a zombie with one shot, while she had to waste so many bullets to deal with one. Not to mention her psychological resilience was lacking; she would panic as soon as a zombie approached.
Honestly, if she were left alone in this factory, even with enough bullets, she might not survive.
After dealing with the zombie, Ruan Ning surveyed the surrounding situation and found that during the time she was focused on killing the zombie, Lin Yang and Jiang Jingchao had practically taken care of all the other zombies outside the factory.
And they, one or two of them, hadn’t even used any special abilities, just like her, relying only on firearms to kill zombies. Otherwise, maybe they would have solved these zombies even earlier.
Thinking about this, Ruan Ning felt even more keenly her own weakness. She looked at Gu Yicheng, who was walking towards her, with eyes full of disappointment and spoke softly, almost like a mosquito, “Brother, I’m sorry, I embarrassed you…”
Gu Yicheng stared at the girl in front of him, who seemed so lost and disheartened as if she had done something wrong. He gently patted her shoulder, trying to reassure her, “You did well.”
Wait a minute! Did she hear him correctly just now?
Was Gu Yicheng… praising her??
Before Ruan Ning could be moved by this, she heard the clear voice above continue, “Keep it up.”
Ruan Ning was momentarily stunned, “Huh?”
“I believe you can do it, Ning Ning.”
After saying this, Gu Yicheng took the gun from her hand, lowered his head to replace the magazine, and then handed the gun back to her.
Could this be real?
He wanted her to continue?!
When Ruan Ning was constantly shooting just now, she didn’t feel it, but now that she relaxed, her hands began to feel numb and sore.
But Ruan Ning, as a rookie, didn’t have the strength to refuse. After all, if the other three experts left, she couldn’t just stand there alone.
The group entered the factory together.
There were obviously more zombies inside the factory. Those zombies that hadn’t been attracted by the living presence before were now stumbling towards the intruders, emitting a hoarse roar.
Just like before, Gu Yicheng deliberately let a lone zombie go to Ruan Ning for her to handle. He would give her a new magazine after she ran out of bullets and start a new round.
The benefits of practice soon became apparent. Ruan Ning’s accuracy in shooting zombies improved, and dealing with a zombie was no longer as difficult as the first time.
Suddenly, Ruan Ning felt a palpitation, and her body quickly retreated several steps before her brain could catch up.
The rancid smell of decay approached, and a mutated zombie emerged from some corner, its long black nails aimed directly at the spot where she had just been standing.
…In other words, if Ruan Ning had reacted a little slower just now, she would have definitely been caught by this zombie already.
But she had managed to evade it, and the mutated zombie leaped past her.
Because Ruan Ning had already expended a considerable amount of energy from shooting multiple times before, her movements were too swift this time. Unable to steady herself properly, she stumbled and fell to the ground.
“Hiss—”
As Ruan Ning fell, she braced herself with her arms against the ground. Now, as she tried to move slightly, she couldn’t help but inhale sharply.
Her skin was very delicate, and even a slight pinch could make it turn red. Now, with the ground covered in small stones, rubbing against it like this would definitely cause her arms to be scraped and bleeding.
Although Gu Yicheng appeared to have been merely observing, in reality, all the other zombies that had approached Ruan Ning were taken care of by him. If it weren’t for the fact that this was a mutant speed zombie, it wouldn’t have been able to slip past him unnoticed. The smile vanished from Gu Yicheng’s face, his expression turning cold. Several lightning bolts chased after the mutant zombie that still sought to approach the girl, instantly reducing it to charred remains.
