Chapter 61: Firearms Mastery!

While Lin Jiao and the other two were feeling puzzled, Lu Feng had already crept toward the position of the small building, and then found a spot directly opposite it.

This location featured a concave terrain, which was just right for luring those zombies over and treating them with gas canisters.

With a single thought, Lu Feng exited the game, brought the previously prepared, tampered gas canisters into the game world, and opened all their valves completely.

Seeing this, Lin Jiao also took out her steel thorn and began striking the metal railing nearby.

Seeing this, Chen Tao and Chen Hao followed suit and copied her actions.

Before long, the sound of metal clanging echoed all around. The zombies gathered around the small building were attracted, grew agitated, and swarmed toward them in a mob.

Among them was the mutated zombie mixed within the crowd.

Seeing Lu Feng and the others, those zombies became even more frantic, hissing as they lunged forward.

"Let's go!" Lu Feng immediately shouted to Lin Jiao and the three of them.

The three did not hesitate and retreated into the building behind them.

At this moment, Lu Feng also pulled out a lighter, watched the surging zombies, lit the lighter, and threw it out.

The next instant, he too exited the game with a single thought.

Almost instantly, the gas in the air was ignited, forming a spreading cloud of fire. Those tampered gas canisters were also detonated in an instant, exploding with a thunderous roar.

The terrifying shockwave instantly swept toward the charging zombies, tearing their bodies apart.

When Lu Feng appeared back in his apartment, a series of prompts appeared in his mind:

[Congratulations on killing a zombie, gained 5 experience points!]
[Congratulations on killing a zombie, gained 5 experience points!]
…
[Congratulations on killing a zombie, gained 150 experience points!]
[Congratulations on leveling up!]
…
[Congratulations on killing a zombie, gained 5 experience points!]

The prompts in Lu Feng's mind stopped. The game screen showed limbs and bodies scattered everywhere—a scene of utter carnage. Most of the zombies, including the mutated one, had been completely wiped out in that single instant.

Moreover, the experience points provided by that mutated zombie had actually reached a staggering 150 points, though unfortunately, it had died without knowing what hit it.

Furthermore, this wave of zombies had provided more than enough experience to level him up, with plenty to spare.

Feeling the warm current surge through his body upon leveling up, along with that wondrous sensation, Lu Feng looked at his character attributes:

Character: Lu Feng
Gender: Male
Level: 8
Strength: 11 (Normal human: 5)
Agility: 11 (Normal human: 5)
Stamina: 11 (Normal human: 5)
Mental Power: 0
Combat Skill: Basic Hand-to-Hand Combat
Experience: 1234/12800

With this level up, his strength, agility, and stamina had each increased by 1 point, now completely exceeding twice the standard human baseline of 5.

With another thought, Lu Feng entered the game world again. Lin Jiao, Chen Tao, and Chen Hao also walked back out, approached the surviving zombies, and dispatched them one by one.

Lu Feng walked over to the corpse of the mutated zombie, drew his steel saber, split open its skull, and extracted a crystal core.

[This is a crystal core from a mutated zombie. It is of high value and can be used as currency or energy. Energy value: 15!]

Clearly, this crystal core was just a standard energy crystal core, but its energy value was higher than that of the mutated hunting hound, reaching 15 points.

Stashing the crystal core away, Lu Feng led Lin Jiao, Chen Hao, and Chen Tao toward the small building, heading straight for the top floor.

According to the game's plot, that Wang Cheng was hiding in the leftmost room on the top floor.

Upon reaching the location, they could see that the entire hallway was blocked off by several tables.

"Boss, someone specifically barricaded this hallway," Lin Jiao said as she, along with Chen Tao and Chen Hao, cleared away the tables and cautiously crept toward the final room.

Almost the moment the room door was pushed open, someone launched a sneak attack, striking at Lin Jiao.

Lin Jiao stepped back.

Almost simultaneously, Chen Tao and Chen Hao coordinated with her and rushed inside, followed immediately by the sound of a brawl.

A moment later, the fighting stopped.

When Lu Feng walked into the room, he saw that the three of them had knocked someone unconscious. Furthermore, a foul stench drifted through the air of the room.

"Boss, this guy is indeed wearing Salvation Army uniform, but he's been starving for a long time and doesn't have much strength left." Lin Jiao pointed at the unconscious man on the ground, then pointed at three corpses nearby: "There are three dead ones too."

Lu Feng instinctively looked at the three corpses. They were also wearing Salvation Army uniforms, but this scene did not exist in the game's plot—clearly, this was a discrepancy between the real world and the game.

Judging by the condition of the corpses, the three of them should have been injured and turned into zombies before being put out of their misery by their comrades.

Chen Tao picked up three firearms from beside the corpses: "Boss, there are also two laser rifles and an old-fashioned rifle here. The laser rifles are out of energy, but the old-fashioned rifle still has a few rounds left."

At this moment, however, Lu Feng looked in surprise at a token lying between the three corpses.

The token was enveloped in a faint glow, which Chen Tao and Chen Hao seemed completely unable to see.

Realizing what it was, he knew it was a skill token.

Lu Feng immediately stepped forward, picked up the skill token, and viewed its information via the game's inspection function:

[This is a special old-fashioned firearm mastery skill token. Upon use, you will acquire the old-fashioned firearm mastery skill. Do you wish to use it?]

Seeing this skill token, Lu Feng's eyes lit up.

Men always held a special fondness for firearms, and he immediately chose to use it.

The next instant, just like before, relevant information began flooding into his mind. This knowledge detailed the disassembly, structure, bullet trajectories, and recoil of various vintage firearms... and much more.

Once he had processed all this information, Lu Feng felt as though he were a seasoned veteran who had been handling firearms for over a decade. Looking at the old-fashioned rifle in Chen Tao's hand, a flood of intuitive data surfaced in his mind.

Lu Feng immediately took the old-fashioned rifle from Chen Tao, walked out into the hallway, raised the gun, and aimed it straight at a wandering zombie not far away.

Bang!

The gunshot rang out.

A bullet instantly streaked through the air, and the head of the distant zombie violently burst apart, scoring a direct headshot.

This pinpoint accuracy left Lin Jiao and the three others who followed him out staring in astonishment.

Lu Feng was equally surprised himself; after all, this was his very first time firing a gun.

The old-fashioned firearm mastery had instantly transformed him into a sharpshooter.

He hadn't expected such an unexpected harvest from coming out this time.

Following that, he looked at Chen Tao and Chen Hao, who were holding the laser rifles like prized possessions, and said, "Give those two guns to me!"

The brothers nodded and immediately handed the two laser rifles over to him.

Lu Feng took the laser rifles, pulled out a crystal core, expended 4 points of energy value to fully recharge both weapons, and then tossed the two guns back to the brothers.

Catching the weapons and seeing the fully restored energy bars on them, the two brothers simultaneously broke into delighted smiles. "Thank you, Boss."

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Lin Jiao's laser rifle earlier, they had been envious for a long time.

"Take this Salvation Army guy back first." Lu Feng glanced back at the knocked-out man.

The other party should undoubtedly be Wang Cheng.

Afterward, he stored the old-fashioned rifle into his inventory space and headed downstairs.

Chen Tao and Chen Hao immediately hoisted the unconscious man between them and followed.

Along the way, the man woke up once, but refused to behave and attempted to resist. He was immediately handled by the Chen brothers and knocked unconscious all over again.

This time, they even found a rope and tied the man's hands and feet securely.

Upon returning to the bank, Lu Feng instructed Chen Hao and Chen Tao, "When he wakes up, interrogate him thoroughly. At the very least, find out who he is."

The brothers nodded.

As for Lu Feng, he headed up to the second floor and found Cheng Yaoyao busy inside the archives room.

Cheng Sisi clearly couldn't help much, so she could only stand nearby holding a document to fan Cheng Yaoyao, making herself look somewhat useful.

"Sir!"

Seeing Lu Feng, the sisters immediately stood up respectfully.

Compared to when they first met, the sisters seemed much less constrained and nervous.

Lu Feng asked, "How is the technical repair of the electromagnetic rice cooker coming along?"

Cheng Yaoyao immediately replied, "Some parts have already been repaired, but it will still take some time to fully restore it."

"Alright, keep up the good work." Understanding the situation, Lu Feng vanished with a single thought under the astonished gazes of the two sisters, returning to his apartment.

Stepping out of his apartment and getting into his Panamera, Lu Feng received a call from his cousin, Yang Ming.

He immediately pressed answer, and Yang Ming's voice came through: "Xiaofeng, Chen Bo and I are back. We're at the teahouse. We've found an intermediary who can offload that entire ton of gold in one go."
