Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

"Bang!"

In the forest, a gunshot rang out, and Gao Dazhi excitedly ran over.

He returned shortly after, carrying several rabbits: "Not bad! Moving targets aren't great, but the accuracy on stationary targets is pretty high."

A hint of praise appeared on his face.

By this time, he was covered in a large amount of prey, completely unconcerned about how dirty he was.

Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "We still need to practice when we get back!"

Hunting rabbits isn't like target shooting, where you have to hit the bullseye; as long as you hit it, that's fine.

The hit rate is quite high.

He then complained, "There are still too few! We lost a serow earlier, what a pity, that thing was too alert and too fast."

We encountered a serow earlier; it was extremely wary.

He can scan, but he can't catch up!

Gao Dazhi rolled his eyes and laughed, "Alright, alright. Look at how many we've killed. If it were someone else, even an old hunter would be lucky to get a third of what you do in a day."

Zhao Qingsong also laughed.

After a morning of use, having used 15 bullets, the two had acquired quite a few good items.

Nine rabbits and four pheasants.

It's daytime now, and pheasants and rabbits are out foraging, so they're not so easy to catch.

This shows how badly this place was swept away.

If it were a hunter, catching two or three a day would be considered impressive.

He glanced at the forest and laughed, "How about we roast a rabbit and have lunch here?"

Gao Dazhi chuckled: "Sure! I even brought salt. Let's get one, skin it, and roast it. Put the stuff down and gather firewood."

Zhao Qingsong also laughed.

He put his things down, took out his machete, and prepared to find dry grass and twigs to start a fire.

……

"Huh!"

Zhao Qingsong was collecting hay when suddenly a large red dot appeared on the radar.

"It's so big! It's almost as big as a person!"

"So many still!"

Startled, he quickly called out to Gao Dazhi, "Brother Gao!"

"What's wrong?"

When Lao Gao heard the voice, he paused for a moment and asked in a low voice. He had gotten used to this situation by now.

"Let's go check it out!"

Zhao Qingsong took the gun off his back and walked forward a short distance.

strange!

Why isn't it moving!

Filled with doubt, they quietly approached, while Lao Gao packed his things, carried them on his back, and excitedly followed.

……

About ten minutes later, Zhao Qingsong, lying behind a large rock, finally saw the scene in the distance.

Fuck!

Wild boar!

No wonder the red dot is so big.

Two large and six small, a total of eight, were currently basking in the sun in a patch of grass!

Wild boars are nocturnal animals, mostly active at night, though they can be found during the day, though less frequently.

The larger one is estimated to weigh close to 100 kilograms, and the smaller one is around 60 or 70 kilograms. The male one, in particular, is estimated to weigh close to 200 kilograms.

It's December now, and the wild boars have stored up a lot of energy, just waiting for winter.

Not much oil has been used up yet.

"Oh my god!"

Gao Dazhi came behind the big rock, was surprised, and quickly covered his mouth.

"Quick, give me the gun, I'll do it!"

His eyes shone.

Zhao Qingsong hesitated for a moment; these were all his experience points.

But thinking about it, wild boars are hard to kill with one shot, so you can finish them off yourself.

Thinking of this, I handed him the gun.

"Brother Gao, here you go! This is a rare opportunity! It's all meat!"

Gao Dazhi stared intently ahead, took the gun and chuckled, "Watch closely, at least one will be left, and if we're lucky, we might even get a few more."

Gently release the safety, and the bullet is chambered.

However, he didn't move. He looked around and said, "This place won't do. The view isn't wide enough. If I run and disappear into the woods, I won't have a chance."

After saying that, he added, "Also, be careful and find a place to hide. If a wild boar goes berserk, people can really die."

"Yes, I know."

Upon hearing this, Gao Dazhi quietly lay down on the ground and crawled forward little by little.

Zhao Qingsong remained there without moving.

Going there would likely cause more trouble, and besides, his location is very close by, and the road is easier to walk.

It will be easier to finish off the enemy later.

Time passed little by little.

A few minutes later, Gao Dazhi found a good spot and began to prepare.

Zhao Qingsong waited like that.

I don't know when they'll fire.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the silence of the forest.

"Ugh~~"

The wild boars screamed in agony, followed by a commotion.

"Thump, thump, thump!!"

The wild boars scattered in all directions.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Three shots were fired in quick succession, and then the gunfire ceased.

There was nothing they could do; the wild boars were too fast. They scattered in a flash and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Zhao Qingsong saw Gao Dazhi climb down, he quickly ran towards the wild boar.

Old Gao is really awesome; even after two heads fell, they were still the biggest two heads.

4 bullets.

I found the right stance for the first shot and took down the biggest one with one shot. It took me three more shots to take down the female.

In the very center of the ground, a huge boar was convulsing.

Zhao Qingsong quickly took out a machete and bled the victim.

A short while later, a notification sound came.

Next came the second one that had run far away; this one had been shot three times and the commotion was still quite significant.

Knife up and down.

Blood splattered everywhere.

After the screams subsided, it took a long time before the system notification sound was heard.

[Ding! 10 mutated beasts defeated. Mission complete. Reward: 1 resource chest]

……

[Ding, a side quest has been issued: Kill 20 Mutant Beasts. Reward: 1 Supply Chest. Note: The next quest level will not be unlocked until this quest is completed.]

Current kill count: 0/20

The task is completed, and new tasks are automatically generated, unsurprisingly increasing in number.

Zhao Qingsong frowned as he looked at the task.

The demands on tasks are increasing.

However, this was expected.

Open the treasure chest!

With the system notification, his supplies were updated again.

The mission to kill 5 enemies has also been completed, so we'll count it together.

[5 water purification tablets, 5 compressed biscuits, 5 iron blocks, 5 peony cigarettes]

[Crossbow*1, Crossbow Bolts*10, Basic First Aid Kit*1, Weapon Usage and Maintenance Manual*1]

There's not much to see about the crossbow. I had already secretly taken it out to look at it before. It's not bad. The metal frame is durable.

Crossbow bolts can also be produced using a workbench.

Water purification tablets: can purify 10L of wastewater.

If this really were the end of the world, it would actually be quite useful. I'll keep it for now, just in case I need it someday!

Now that we have the iron blocks, we can craft some iron items from the space ourselves.

but……

It's not being used very often yet.

There wasn't much food this time.

First aid kit: contains gauze, bandages, alcohol/iodine, antibiotics, tourniquet, painkillers (ibuprofen, morphine tablets - extremely rare and dangerous), antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, vitamin supplements (multivitamins, vitamin C)...

There's quite a lot of stuff; it might actually come in handy if we encounter any danger.

If the antibiotics were obtained previously, it would be a good idea to give them to the father.

Finally, we turned our attention to the last item, the "Weapon Use and Maintenance Manual".

Upon seeing the introduction, Zhao Qingsong beamed with joy.

It's another skill book, and a very practical one at that.

Seeing that Gao Dazhi hadn't come over, I clicked "Learn" directly.

In an instant, a number of inexplicable memories flooded my mind.

Seeing Gao Dazhi return, he focused his gaze on the other party's gun.

I have more information in my mind.

The Type 56 semi-automatic rifle weighs 3.85 kg unloaded and is 1025 mm long. It uses 7.62×39 mm ammunition and has advantages such as light weight, good shooting accuracy, and reliable mechanism operation. It adopts a 10-round fixed magazine and a gas-operated automatic principle.

They also learned about the use and maintenance of various weapons.

"Great, very practical. But we can't reveal it all at once; it needs to be a gradual process. Just act like a genius."

Zhao Qingsong was pondering this in his heart.

Seeing Gao Dazhi approaching, she snapped out of her reverie.
