Chapter 629: Invitation

Jiang Liushi’s was quite interested in the M61 Vulcan. Meanwhile, he also found a box of bullets beside it. The box not only contained the M61 Vulcan’s 20mm bullets, but also the Barrett’s 12,7mm bullets.

“Tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles?” exclaimed Jiang Liushi the moment he saw the box.

The bullets he had obtained from Long Teng were steel-core ones, which were the standard type. Tungsten-core ones, however, were rare. After all, tungsten was not cheap in the least. The tungsten alloy’s density was twice more than that of steel, which meant that under the same caliber, the tungsten bullets’ weight would be double. Of course, its power would be entirely different from the former one.

What shocked Jiang Liushi most was a box next to the one he was looking at. After Ran Xiyu translated what was written on it, Jiang Liushi’s expression changed, and he touched his chin. One of the words printed on the box was – Uranium!

‘Uranium armor-piercing projectiles?’ Jiang Liushi fell into a daze.

Before doomsday, it was impossible for regular people to come in contact with such weapons and ammunition. They could only read about them in military magazines. After all, uranium was a critical component for the production of nuclear weapons. Its density far surpassed tungsten.

In China, tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles were quite common due to their large deposits of tungsten ore. Considering the radioactive pollution of depleted uranium bombs, China had limited the number of uranium armor-piercing projectiles.

In America, however, things were entirely different. The lack of tungsten and the rich deposits of uranium boosted them to the top producers of uranium bombs. Undoubtedly, the uranium projectiles were far superior to the tungsten ones, especially those in the box, which were about 20mm.

Jiang Liushi picked up one, and he found out that the length of his hand, from his fingertips to his wrist, was still smaller than the bullet. Jiang Liushi was really fascinated, and he could not help but wonder what would happen if he were to infuse his strengthened blue energy with the bullets.

Jiang Liushi approached the beautiful store shop assistant and asked, “I would like to buy these bullets, how much?” He had already inquired about this area’s currency. Other than evolution crystals, beer, cigars, marijuana, and so on, could be used as hard currency.

Although Jiang Liushi didn’t need evolution crystals, he had accumulated a lot of them. No matter where they passed, they searched for materials, and purchased or looted them according to the occasion, so his storage space was filled with all kind of commodities. Moreover, his laboratory could produce evolutionary crystals of the best quality.

After dealing with Shen Hai, Jiang Liushi’s team had obtained a lot of level-1 mutant nuclei. Other than the ones Jiang Liushi had consumed to undergo his evolution, the rest were thrown to the laboratory to produce evolutionary crystals.

What came as a surprise to Jiang Liushi was the shop assistant’s cold attitude. The M4/M16 Carbine and Barrett bullets in the front shelf are enough for you,” she said.

Although Jiang Liushi’s English was good, it was still difficult for him to communicate fluently. Fortunately, Ran Xiyu was there to help him.

Jiang Liushi frowned. “Why are you showcasing those weapons and ammo if you don’t plan on selling them?”

The beautiful shop assistant replied, “This gathering area is near to the sea. Sometimes the mutant beasts lurking in the sea launch sudden attacks. Our combatants need these weapons to kill those mutant beasts. Even we sell the heavy weapons to you, I’m pretty sure you don’t know how to handle them. The M16 and the other weapons in the front are enough for you to keep your life. Let me guess, you want to use the heavy weapons to shoot at zombies, right?”

“It’s none of your business! I don’t think you’re the person in charge here. What gives you the right to judge whether we can use them or not?” barked Jiang Zhuying after listening to Ran Xiyu interpretation. In her opinion, the beautiful shop assistant had her finger in their pie.

“Oh, My God, Ran Xiyu?”

At that moment, a pleasant voice sounded from the side. As a result, Jiang Zhuying, who wanted to say more, stopped and turned back in surprise, wondering who Ran Xiyu’s acquaintance may be.

A 20-years-old man, wearing a US military uniform, was looking at Ran Xiyu in surprise. “Ran Xiyu, how could you be here?” he asked.

“Are you…” Ran Xiyu also felt surprised.

“Ah, after I graduated, I joined the military. I didn’t expect that after serving for half a year, the world would come upside down. You should be in China, but why are you here? Regardless, it’s good to see you!” said the young man in excitement.

“It’s a long story. We traveled from China here.”

Upon hearing that, the young man was rendered speechless. Soon, he snapped out of his shock and asked more about Ran Xiyu’s situation. He clearly didn’t believe that she had traveled all the way from China. After all, only a few mighty figures could cross the sea after doomsday.

Ran Xiyu didn’t try to change the young man’s mind. Instead, she smiled and introduced the others, “This is the captain of my team, Captain Jiang, and the rest of my teammates.”

After introducing everyone, Ran Xiyu added, “This is a former classmate of mine from when I was studying back in America. His name is Abbott.”

“Nice to meet you all.” Abbott greeted them happily. At the same time, he kind of shocked as the Ran Xiyu he knew was a cold girl. But while introducing her teammates, her tone was nice and warm.

“When I came in, I seemed to hear that you had a dispute?” asked Abbott suddenly.

Truth be told, Abbott had entered because of the two parties’ quarrel. He didn’t expect to meet Ran Xiyu here of all places.

The beautiful shop assistant’s expression was somewhat ugly. It had not crossed her mind that Jiang Liushi and the others actually knew an officer.

“Sir, I-”

Jiang Zhuying interrupted her, saying, “She refused to sell us the things over there.”

“What do you want to buy?” asked Abbott curiously.

“Sir, he wants to buy the M61 and bullets,” replied the shop assistant while looking at Jiang Liushi.

Hearing that, Abbott fixed his eyes on Jiang Liushi. He could tell that Jiang Liushi was powerful but could not understand why the latter needed such a heavy weapon and so many bullets.

“Since the goods are on display, if there are customers that want to purchase them, then they should be sold,” said Abbott to the shop assistant.

“Thank you.” Jiang Liushi had a good impression of Abbott.

“You’re welcome. Since you’re Ran Xiyu’s teammates, you’re also my friends.” Abbott laughed and then he said to Ran Xiyu, “Xiyu, it’s a pleasant surprise to meet you here today. Tomorrow night, we will hold a large celebration party. May I invite you and your friends to join?”
