Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While Lorne was studying the Desert Eagle, time slowly passed. Soon, three hours had passed.
With a soft sound, the glass cover on the work table opened automatically, and a pitch-black M4A1 appeared in front of Lorne.
The body of the gun was equipped with a thick barrel and a front grip. The M4A1’s handguard was short, so it should be easy for him to shoot.
There was an infrared scope on the body of the gun, adding a hint of technology to its ordinary appearance.
Lorne walked forward and picked up the M4A1. The entire gun felt very light, and the weight did not match its appearance at all.
Lorne began to slowly familiarize himself with the gun according to the blueprint.
After three hours, Lorne became familiar with the use of this M4A1.. He decided to test the power of this M4A1 and Desert Eagle.
There was a testing room in the R&D Center for Lorne to test the power of the weapons. He carried the Desert Eagle and the M4A1 inside.
As long as the work table made a weapon, the testing room would have a corresponding target for testing the weapon. After Lorne entered the testing room, three to four different targets appeared inside
The nearer targets were used to test the Desert Eagle, while the farther targets were used to test the M4A1.
Lorne first picked up the Desert Eagle, opened the safety catch, and loaded the bullet. Then, he raised his hand and aimed at the nearer target.
Bang!
Following the pull of the trigger, the bullet was fired. The bullet missed its target and instead hit the target beside it.
However, what shocked Lorne first was not his accuracy, but the Desert Eagle’s recoil.
Even with his body, which had been enhanced by the system, Lorne felt his hand go numb after firing a shot.
He could not believe it. If he had used this Desert Eagle before his body was enhanced, his entire palm would probably have broken.
However, the powerful recoil also brought about great power. There was a huge hole in the middle of the target.
He was sure that as long as he practiced and mastered it properly, this gun would be a great weapon for his exploration.
He picked up the Desert Eagle again and shot at the target in front of him.
After emptying the Desert Eagle’s magazine, a bullet successfully hit the target. Although it only hit the edge of the target, it also shattered one-fourth of the target.
Rubbing his slightly numb arm, Lorne sat on the ground and rested.
The Desert Eagle’s power was undoubtedly in line with his requirements. Lorne planned to create hundreds of Desert Eagle bullets after testing the M4A1, and slowly train his accuracy in the next few days.
After resting for an hour, Lorne slowly stood up and felt that he had regained some strength.
Lorne picked up the M4A1 and prepared to test the gun’s power.
Lorne held the M4A1 and posed in what he thought was the most cool pose. He aimed at the target far away and pulled the trigger.
He did not know if it was because he had been practicing with the gun for a few hours, but this time, he actually hit the target.
Overall, M4A1 felt easier to use than the Desert Eagle. This gun was very comfortable to use.
This time, he successfully hit the outer ring.
Seeing that his shooting condition was not bad, Lorne raised the gun again and prepared to finish the remaining bullets to get more experience.
After more than ten minutes, Lorne finished all the bullets. The result was not bad. All the bullets were on the target, and one bullet hit the inner ring.
Satisfied, Lorne put down the rifle. The performance of the two guns met his requirements. He could abandon the crossbow when exploring in the future.
After leaving the R&D Center, Lorne planned to have a nice lunch.
Just as he walked out of the R&D Center, Whitey saw him and flew towards him.
Lorne caught Whitey firmly.
“Haha, are you hungry too?” Lorne saw that the meat in the bowl on the sofa had been eaten.
“Let’s have something nice for lunch,” Lorne said to Whitey.
Because he had created two guns today, Lorne was in a good mood. He decided to celebrate by killing a chicken.
He placed Whitey back on the sofa and walked to the greenhouse. He picked up a plump chicken and slipped it out, preparing to cook it for lunch.
Although these chickens needed to be kept for raising, eating one should not be a problem. Lorne silently found an excuse for his actions.
Carrying the chicken, Lorne checked the growth of the vegetables he planted.
The growth of the vegetables was quite good. After looking around, he closed the door and walked out of the greenhouse feeling satisfied.
After coming out, Lorne fetched water to boil to pull out the feathers of the chicken. He then killed the chicken. His actions were very clean. Clearly, he had done this kind of work many times in the past.
His childhood experience allowed him to live well alone.
After half an hour of hard work, Lorne finished preparing the chicken and cooked a delicious lunch.
Lorne even took out the stored rice and cooked a portion, preparing to reminisce about the days before the apocalypse.
This was because it was difficult to plant rice in the days after the disaster. Even if they were cultivated, they could only be provided to a small number of people. Therefore, it was a blessing to be able to eat rice in the apocalypse.
The two quickly finished all the food on the table. Lorne rubbed his stomach in satisfaction.
After ten minutes of rest, Lorne cleared the table and threw the trash outside in his protective suit.
[In ten days, the host’s world will enter the Ice Age. There might be a tsunami then. Please be prepared.]
When Lorne returned, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
“It’s going to enter the Ice Age so soon? Looks like I’ll have to stay in technology city for a while,” Lorne thought to himself.
“I wonder how many people will die in the Ice Age. Why are there so many disasters in this world?”
“Fortunately, I have the system.” Thinking of this, Lorne became confident.
