Chapter 143: The fringe village

"Glug...glug..." Polishing the entire bowl of soup off, Li Qing gives a long, satisfied sigh, expression extremely contended ah.

"Huuahh...I feel like I've come back to live again."

Looking at his pleased face, Huo Zaiyuan swallows his mouthful of noodles and scoffs, "Pig ah, don't you carry some food on you at all times?"

Rubbing his full and bulging stomach, Li Qing scrunches his nose at Huo Zaiyuan. "That's different. After being locked up in the factory for a month, I had to memorise and learn and make machines every day. Even if an imperial feast is laid out before me, it would still be tasteless."

"For a cheerful and active person, Uncle Long's control of subordinates with an iron fist can drive one mad," Chewing on the ends of his chopsticks, Zuo Hanyang says as his hand darts out, stealing a piece of ham sausage from You Nuandong's bowl, earning him a sour glare.

"Exactly, exactly." Li Qing nods vigorously in complete agreement.

Although he managed to learn a lot about technology and engineering when studying under General Long, he had to endure all sorts of 'torture'. Just thinking about it makes him feel like curling in on himself. Oh, how he admires his own endurance, somehow managing to survive for this long.

With Li Qing 'released from confinement', Zuo Hanyang has a like-minded friend to clown around with, making the atmosphere more lively and humorous. After enjoying their afternoon feast, the few of them disperse for the time being in order to prepare all necessary equipment for this mission.

"After being released from the mechanic's factory, didn't Uncle Long gift you anything?" Long Zhanye asks while loading bullets soaked in spring water into the magazine of his pistol.

"Have ah." When Li Qing came into their residence for lunch, he was carrying along a rather large metal suitcase. Now, he places the item on the cleared dining table. Punching the code into the small electronic lock, he lifts the lid, allowing everyone to see the items within.

Various guns line one side of the case, with bullets and special explosives lining the other. A few peculiar-looking instruments are scattered amongst the weapons. One glance is enough to show everything in this suitcase are newly developed products.

"Master told me that everything here will be issued to the other safe zones in the near future. These guns are basically modified Desert Eagles. Keeping the penetration power of the original while reducing more than half of its standard recoil. The bullets they use are also more aerodynamic. Here, we've got armour-piercing rounds, bullets which will release a small grapple upon friction, explosive rounds..."

Everyone falls silent as soon as Li Qing begins talking, listening attentively as he explains the function of each item.

Products that come out of the mechanic's factory are definitely not ordinary.

This time, the members undertaking the mission are Long Zhanye, Huo Zaiyuan, Zuo Hanyang, You Nuandong, Li Qing and Qin Jun. Although there are only six of them, it is sufficient.

Since the maximum number of people a Hummer can carry is five, and it has no way to fit all the necessary equipment inside, they can only use the armoured car provided by the military.

When other mercenary squads venture out for missions, the priests in their team will certainly not waste talismans to set arrays on their transport. But Huo Zaiyuan is the sole exception. Take his Hummer as an example. Ever since he laid three sets of arrays over it, don't say getting close enough to touch the car. Any zombies that come within a half-meter radius of the vehicle will be tossed away. Trying to surround their transportation is not easy ah!
