A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

Upon seeing the pistol on the table by the pool, the Anastasia sisters stood up and approached, their eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Master, do you have a bigger gun?" Anna picked up an HK-P7 with practiced ease, cocked it, tested its feel, and aimed with exceptional precision.

Cindy, soaking in the pool and unable to reach the table, could only joke, "Of course, Master has plenty of guns. Look at the one Nalin has, isn't it big enough?"

Li Qi's eyes lit up. Ignoring Cindy's public driving, he asked Anna, "You know how to use a gun?"

Anna glanced back at her sister, then looked at Li Qi and said proudly, "When we were very young, we hunted in the mountains with our father. My favorite weapons were rifles and pistols..."

Even dogs wouldn't play with it.

Anna didn't say it, but Richard could tell.

That's why they say the Russians are tough!

Yeah, compared to an AK47, this is just a toy.

But even "toys" can kill.

Li Qi beckoned, took the pistol from Anna's hand, and tried to change her perspective: "Pistols are easy to conceal and carry. Their power is naturally not as great as rifles, but they also have their uses and their necessity..."

"A gun is a tool, just like a dagger, a fist, or even a shard of glass. Its usefulness doesn't depend on its absolute lethality, but on whether it's suitable for the current environment and needs. Do you understand?"

Anna nodded thoughtfully.

Whether someone is being perfunctory or serious is actually quite easy to tell; even someone who has never been a teacher can easily tell.

Especially for someone as carefree as Anna, it was obvious that the little girl had taken it to heart, her eyes shining brightly.

"Yes, as long as it can kill, we don't care about the length of the barrel or the range, right, Master?"

Anna looked like she was humbly asking for advice, with a sweet smile on her face. Who wouldn't love her?

The desire to teach is a latent instinct in everyone. With such touching students, especially a couple, who wouldn't be excited?

Nalin coughed...

Li Qi, somewhat embarrassed, continued talking about guns: "Exactly! Within a one-foot radius, a rifle is actually less effective than a pistol, and in certain specific situations, a pistol might not be as good as a knife, and in very rare cases, a fist or fingers might be better!"

Tina was clearly interested as well, and she moved closer to her sister, looking at her with admiration as Li Qi taught her how to kill.

Li Qi's lectures on Level 2 Mixed Martial Arts and Level 3 Firearms were all profound lessons learned from countless battles, lessons that are priceless.

Sophia was clearly uninterested, Nalin was focused on her own thing, and Cindy and Sophie had already gone swimming.

Only the two sisters showed an unparalleled level of interest.

Li Qi's eyes widened. These two little girls are worth nurturing!

Getting carried away with the conversation, Li Qi went straight to the garage, grabbed the HK416 and M40 sniper rifles, loaded them with a bag of ammunition, and went into the underground cave to begin his on-site demonstration.

In contrast, both sisters were very interested in the two spears, holding them in their hands and loving them dearly.

Obviously, once the basic operating techniques are taught, there's no need to teach shooting.

In the enclosed space, the sound of bullets firing was deafening. Li Qi covered his ears with both hands and looked at the two sisters who seemed completely unaffected, feeling extremely surprised and delighted.

I've struck gold!

These two sisters are beautiful, but because they spent their adolescence in a cave, they never received any systematic education. Sophia and Li Qi are both worried about what their future holds.

We can't just treat them as two pretty twin vases, can we?

Unexpectedly, God closed the doors and windows, but then suddenly tore down a wall!

Looking at the concentrated bullet impact points on the white wall in the distance, Li Qi exclaimed "Holy crap!" in his mind. He knew he could definitely do better with his three-star weapons, but he wouldn't be far ahead.

What does this tell us?

These two little girls are real gun pros, they've been handling guns since they can remember! Otherwise, how could they be so composed? Completely unfazed by the deafening gunshots, and their marksmanship is just as outrageous!

Li Qi was just curious why neither of the two little girls had any skills displayed.

After a live-fire exercise, Li Qi explained and demonstrated as he went. The two girls learned and practiced simultaneously. One was willing to teach, and the other was willing to learn. With their excellent rapport, they grew closer, more familiar, and more understanding of each other...

Then, in the living room of the crypt, they got to know each other better.

"Master, time to eat—" The call abruptly ended, and Cindy, who had come to deliver the message, immediately covered her mouth upon seeing the scene before her.

She hesitated between joining or leaving.

……

……

At Julie Grace's house, Lola, holding a bag of potato chips, hesitated for a long time before finally telling the truth after confirming once again that Julie wouldn't use what she was about to say as evidence in court.

"...That's it."

Julie's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Who exactly is this person? If he's so capable, how did he end up as a homeless person?" She was a criminal investigator, so naturally she didn't understand.

Lola, however, was unfazed: "I've seen this all the time. Before becoming homeless, I was full of hope for the country's system and for myself to get back to my old life by obeying the law. But after experiencing certain things, I let go of my moral constraints and my respect for the law, and started to become completely shameless. That's how it is."

Julie nodded. She was happy to humbly learn from others' experiences and knowledge when it came to things she wasn't familiar with.

"If you have the chance, please introduce me. I'd like to get to know him," Julie stated matter-of-factly.

Lola glanced at the woman's stunningly beautiful and sexy face and immediately felt threatened: "What are you going to do?"

"Nothing much, just getting to know each other, making friends! Don't worry, I won't cause him any trouble." Julie said, though she didn't mean it, and then asked, "What's his real name?"

Laura lied outright: "His name is William Thomson."

Julie, a woman of many experience, failed to realize that this seemingly sincere young woman had effortlessly deceived her, and immediately took her as truth: "Okay, keep this a secret. If we get involved, it will be very troublesome."

Her words were vague, but she was obviously referring to last night's shooting.

Such a master is bound to attract curious glances, and if we were to investigate further, it would be quite troublesome.

"Speaking of which, Nick's death is very suspicious. I took over the case, but I haven't been able to find a clue..." Julie hesitated, watching Lola's expression change, trying to find some clues.

Lola didn't tell the truth about this; her story was exactly the same as the one she told Maeve McCallister.

Last night's killing was considered self-defense, but for Nick, it was murder no matter what.

Shooting an unarmed person, even if that person is guilty of a heinous crime, is clearly a violation of the law and a crime.

Because of this incident, her relationship with Li Qi progressed rapidly. In a sense, the two formed an alliance because of this incident.

That's probably why the two of them were able to sleep together so quickly.

Thinking of Li Qi, Lola felt a sweet warmth in her heart, followed by a sudden, horrified shock.

Since when have my bottom line become so flexible?
