Chapter 170 162: Improve Killing Accuracy
Night, remains pitch black.
Rain, hasn't stopped.
People, struggling to survive.
In this apocalypse, some are on the brink of life and death.
Some resist the zombies day and night.
Some have lost their humanity.
Yet some, amidst this apocalypse, still have hot water, warm meals, rest, and even leisure games.
Outside the base.
Zombies still gather outside the wall, over time, Li Yu and his team have killed many zombies, the ground outside the wall is full of them.
To prevent stacking of zombie corpses, Li Yu also lures zombies to other parts of the wall to avoid concentration near the gate.
Li Yu and his team seem to have gotten used to this lifestyle, facing the most brutal scenes daily at the frontlines, yet they still can quietly retreat back to the safety of their own rooms to rest.
It's like two worlds, two extremes, pulling people apart.
Day 29 of the torrential rain.
At 12 midnight, Li Yu, Dapao, Li Hang, Li Zhengping, Song Qi and others are resisting zombies on the wall. With the torrential rain, spotlights are turned on, allowing them to roughly see ahead, but it's still not enough.
So, Li Yu and the others took out the lasers previously gotten from the armory, and after pairing them with Night Vision Goggles, even in the pitch-black rainy night, they could clearly see the zombies.
Everyone has grown somewhat numb to killing zombies during this period.
Just as Li Yu stepped onto the wall today, he noticed the skin of the zombies ahead becoming exceptionally smooth under the torrential rain, and recently everyone found that spears tend to slip off easily when killing zombies.
On the side of the wall, Li Yu, Dapao, and Li Hang, side by side, one holding a spear with a rope, forcefully thrusting, another holding a spear without a rope, stabbing at the zombies below the wall.
In Li Yu's hands, the spear is like a javelin. Li Yu flicked the spear in his hand, during this period, every time after getting down from the wall, he would have to grind the spear with a whetstone, sharpening it.
The tip needs to be sharpened after every descent down the wall, otherwise, it would become a bit blunt.
Paired with the laser, Li Yu aimed at a zombie roughly 8 meters away from the wall, leveraging the height difference, he forcefully swung, utilizing his waist to drive his shoulders, transferring the force to his wrist.
The spear shot out like an arrow, striking directly into the zombie's eye.
Pfft! The zombie's eyeball, like water, was directly pierced, and some grey-white matter splattered out.
Penetrating through! In the zombie's head, some red and white matter was directly ejected, like a watermelon smashed open by a fist.
After penetration, he pulled the rope, giving a tug, and the spear gently touched in the air, hitting the wall of the wall.
Clang!
The metal striking the cement wall let out a piercing sound.
Zombies under the wall, seeing the spear, all tried to reach out to grab it, but got no chance as Li Yu pulled it up.
The entire action is fluid, and this set of movements had been performed many times. In Li Yu's hands, they hardly ever went wrong.
Actually, this spear is custom-made, the back end has been polished to be very smooth, so just now when he was pulling it, it went very smoothly, and it hardly ever got stuck in the body of a Zombie.
In fact, during this period, everyone at times would make some mistakes: for example, sometimes when throwing the spear out, when pulling the spear back, it would occasionally be caught by a Zombie right below the wall, just grabbing onto the rope.
In this case, everyone basically carried a knife with them, allowing them to cut the rope at any moment to avoid the Zombie pulling on it.
With everyone continuously slaughtering Zombies, they have now become quite skilled.
Everyone took turns maintaining three members per group, with one person using a spear tied with a rope, throwing it far to stab Zombies in the distance.
Two people on the wall used extended spears to stab Zombies within 3 meters of the wall.
Li Yu swung twice more, both times stabbing Zombies with great precision.
His entire movement looked fast, accurate, and fierce.
"Big brother, how do you manage to be so accurate?" Li Hang, standing next to him, asked admiringly as he wielded his spear stabbing Zombies below the wall.
Li Yu didn't stop his hands, he flung the rope of the spear backwards, making a clang sound.
Then he quickly pulled the spear up.
He then said, "Actually it's somewhat similar to throwing a javelin, but the difference is, we don't have a run-up; it's more about accuracy.
But the most important step is holding. The way to hold the spear is to place it diagonally on your palm, with the thumb and middle finger grasping the first wrap at the end of the spear handle.
The index finger naturally curves and grips the spear, while the ring and little fingers hold the handle.
You can also place the thumb and index finger on the first wrap at the spear handle's end, with the remaining fingers gripping the handle in sequence. This helps you better control the spear.
Furthermore, the position you hold should be one third from the front of the spear.
When making the launching motion, bend your left leg quickly and elasticly extending it, while pushing your chest forward as much as possible.
This drives the forearm to perform a dynamic 'whipping' action, allowing the body's power through the arm and fingers to act on the longitudinal axis of the spear."
Li Yu explained a lot, and Li Hang, standing beside him, seemed to understand yet not fully grasping it. Actually, in the recent process of killing Zombies, his accuracy had already improved a lot, but he had not thought about so many details during shooting.
Li Yu unfastened the rope tied around his waist and let Li Hang tie it on, then let him try according to what he just described.
Li Hang slowly tested it, with Li Yu beside him correcting his movements, and soon, Li Hang mastered the essentials.
The accuracy of killing Zombies was getting higher and higher, sometimes even managing to skewer them like stringing calabashes.
In these days, amid the pitch-dark rainy nights, they continuously shot Zombies. These Zombies seemed endless, the relentless onslaught numbing everyone.
These Zombies were like flies, swarming wherever there was meat; the longer the meat was left, the more flies it attracted.
During this period, the batteries of the loudspeakers outside the base had also run out. This was the first time that the base had drained the power of those long-lasting loudspeakers.
Drones were occasionally used under torrential rain, but most of the time they were not, as the heavy rain could easily bring them down.
Li Yu stayed until almost 10 o'clock that day, waiting for his uncle to arrive to change shifts before he went down to rest.
Before leaving the wall, Li Yu, using the light from the searchlight, glanced at the wall outside, now badly stained with blood. The constant death of Zombies, compounded by the washing of rainwater and the repeated spraying of Zombie blood, had left its marks.
