Chapter 41: Chapter 41 Inhibitor and Gun_l, Translator: 549690339, The supply drop box was large, but upon opening it, the interior space wasn’t as big as it looked because a lot of black shock-absorbing material had been used., Inside, there were three compartments of varying sizes, each with its own, packaging., He first opened the largest compartment-just as expected, apart from a few small radios, the rest were foods., There were self-heating meals, compressed biscuits, energy bars, chocolate, sugar, powdered drinks, canned goods, and other easy-to-carry edibles., Wang Tao tried a few and couldn’t tell if it was psychological, but he felt that the food here tasted better., He then opened the second compartment., “Is this all… emergency supplies?”, There were many small medical kits; he counted a total of twenty., But in addition to the medical kits, there was also a small box with a buckle, !!.., lock., “Hmm? What’s this?”, Upon opening the small box and looking at the neatly arrayed twenty bottles of blue potion inside, Wang Tao was puzzled., However, there was a manual embossed inside the box, which he hurriedly read., “Zombie Virus Inhibitor… it can suppress the initial infection and mutation to a certain extent? But it has side effects… Good grief!, After reading the explanation, Wang Tao was somewhat shocked., According to the documentation, this Zombie Virus Inhibitor was a product hastily developed by leading figures in the medical community after the virus outbreak., It couldn’t completely solve the zombie virus, but it could suppress the outbreak of the virus!, Theoretically, if a person infected with the zombie virus continued to take this inhibitor, they would never mutate., Of course, that was in theory. In practice, it was impossible. Not to mention that the supply of this inhibitor was limited, even if it could be provided in unlimited quantities, whether a person could withstand it was uncertain., Because the inhibitor had severe side effects-it affected one’s health, and extensive use could even lead to death!, Moreover, the use of the inhibitor was painful. To maximize the effectiveness, of the inhibitor, at least one of two conditions had to be met., One was strong willpower, and the other was robust physique., If someone with weak willpower and a poor constitution took the inhibitor, they might die of pain from the inhibitor itself before they even had a chance to mutate…, That’s why it was emphasized that one should be cautious before using the inhibitor!, If an ordinary person was infected with the zombie virus, the priority would be to amputate the infected area; if amputation was not possible or ineffective, only then should the inhibitor be used…, After learning about the inhibitor, Wang Tao thought it was something useful yet not useful., It was useful because it could save someone’s life at a critical moment., It was not useful because the conditions for its use were quite harsh, and its efficacy was not 100 percent guaranteed., Of course, for Wang Tao, it was definitely useful., Whether his own willpower was strong, was hard to say-it could sound self-flattering. However, there was no doubt about the quality of his physical strength., He could use this inhibitor!, Of course, he hoped he would never need to use it., “Wait a second—”, Suddenly, Wang Tao thought of something., After human beings fused with a Zombie Core, they acquired abilities but also accumulated impurities in their bodies. The more Crystal Cores that fused, the more impurities would accumulate, increasing the risk of turning into a zombie., Could this inhibitor be used for such “Ability Users ?, They could kill zombies to obtain Crystal Cores, ensuring their physical fitness was exceptional, and their willpower might also be very firm, so the effect of using the Inhibitor would definitely be excellent., As for the side effects of the Inhibitor that might affect their health… they were on the verge of turning into zombies, so what did health matter anymore?, Wang Tao felt that perhaps this was the right way to use the Inhibitor. However, that was a matter for the future; currently, it was still unknown if anyone could become an Ability User., After resealing the box containing the Inhibitor and locking it up, Wang Tao turned his attention to the last section inside the airdrop crate., Rubbing his hands together, he opened it with a face full of anticipation. “Hm? There are several small boxes inside? And there are buckles and shock-absorbing materials…”, He pressed the buckles and opened one of the boxes., Upon seeing what was inside, Wang Tao’s eyes instantly widened., “Holy **!”, What did he see?, Guns!, He saw guns!, The boxes were actually filled with guns!, There were a total of 10 model 400 military handguns from the gun family!, There were also 20 extra magazines, 10 silencers, and 10 boxes of 5.8mm handgun bullets, each box labeled with 100 bullets, totaling 1000 bullets!, Wang Tao guessed that the reason his airdrop had a parachute, unlike some of the others, was probably because it contained weapons and ammunition. If it was just food, clearly a parachute wouldn’t be necessary., Wang Tao took out a handgun to fiddle with; he had actually handled real guns before, from filming a movie to visiting a shooting range., The guns from filming were not worth mentioning; they were old and never actually fired, not even blanks—it was all special effects., The guns at the shooting range could be fired, but each bullet cost him 20 yuan. Wang Tao had only tried a few times; his family’s financial situation didn’t allow for more., He did have some understanding of guns, though., Now, getting his hands on these real guns, he couldn’t hide his excitement- after all, what man doesn’t like guns?, “With these guns, dealing with zombies shouldn’t be anything less than one shot, one kill!”, Although Wang Tao’s shooting skills might be average, zombies wouldn’t necessarily dodge on purpose. Within close range, a headshot should still be no problem., Zombies might withstand a few blows from him, but definitely not a bullet. However, there was a problem-the noise from firing a gun was too loud! So-called silencers only suppress the sound; they cannot completely silence it. If the consequence of killing a few zombies was to be attacked by a large crowd of them, then Wang Tao thought that using cold weapons wasn’t such a bad idea., Inside the box with the weapons was an envelope, which Wang Tao opened., Inside were three pieces of paper., The first piece of paper detailed the basic operation of handguns, complete with illustrations, and had a warning in red: Unless absolutely necessary, do not fire the gun! Gunshots will attract a large number of zombies! Silencers are not very effective! It is best to move in groups for mutual lookout and to have a quick evacuation route after firing. Otherwise, the danger of using a gun far outweighs its lethality., Wang Tao agreed with this advice. He liked the guns, but would not consider using them unless absolutely necessary., The second piece of paper outlined the Government’s understanding of the apocalyptic situation., It mentioned that the apocalypse came too suddenly, without any warning signs. The Government was also unprepared, despite having many civil defense projects. The initial spread of the zombie virus was unimaginable and unstoppable., The local Governments and the Government of Qian Country had lost touch with one another. The unit behind this airdrop was not from Red Stone Base as Wang Tao had thought, but rather from Wuyang Military Base., The situation at Wuyang Military Base was also grim; they were barely able to protect themselves after the disaster and could not carry out any rescue operations. They also encouraged citizens to take up arms and defend themselves., As for whether there would be another airdrop, the letter said… not to get one’s, hopes up..
