Chapter 292: Jing Shu’s RV Is Fully Equipped
I Farm In The Apocalypse
Upon hearing Su Mary’s words, the butler’s previously fair face instantly turned green with embarrassment. He awkwardly said, “Miss, we have equipped you with 80 rounds of 84mm large-caliber ammunition. This is the amount Mr. Qian has stipulated.”
Meaning: no more than this.
Eighty rounds was actually quite a lot. In the current apocalypse, food production was nearly impossible, let alone manufacturing various gun bullets. They were probably relying on old stock.
No doubt, Qian Duoduo’s surprise was huge, compensating for the RV’s defense and counterattack capabilities.
The butler gestured, “This ammunition is large and has a wide damage radius. A few shots can solve most problems. Besides, the turret is more of a deterrent. Unless something irreversible happens… Also, nowadays, bullets are more expensive than the equipment.”
“Xiao Cai, that’s enough. I’m quite satisfied.” Jing Shu looked at the massive barrel, about 1.5 meters long, which looked very violent. Unlike other turrets, it had no recoil. Because of this, it could be fixed directly to the front of the RV.
Just as the butler said, the turret was mostly a deterrent. Anyone thinking of messing with the RV would have to think twice.
If something really happened, she could control the turret and have some fun. Having this turret greatly increased Jing Shu’s sense of security. If anything happened on the migration route, she could handle it better.
“Xiao Cai, you’re finally here. Today, you must tell us how Mr. Qian could be so generous as to give away his secret weapon,” an elderly man dressed like an astronaut, wrapped tightly, asked after listening for a while.
In fact, no one present wasn’t wrapped up tightly. The richer the person, the more they valued their life. But everyone was low-key, unlike Su Mary, who wore a dazzling “colorful black” outfit, shining brightly in the exhibition hall and attracting many eyes upon entry.
“Yes, tell us more.”
Voices buzzed around.
Though faces were hidden, Jing Shu didn’t recognize a single person. Everyone wore sealed raincoats and dared not take them off.
“Oh, Old Liu, Old Wang, you’re here. Actually, this turret isn’t a big deal. Even though it’s one of the weaker turrets, it’s still a turret.”
“It uses a conical shell, each weighing 6 pounds (2.54 kg). With standard propellant, muzzle velocity is 439 m/s. At a 10° angle, it can accurately hit targets 1180 meters away, with a max range of 1500 meters.”
Jing Shu nodded. So a shot would take 2-3 seconds to hit a distant target.
“As for its power… hehe, if a grenade clears everything within 15 meters, this shell can collapse all houses within 15 meters of impact. Anyone not in a bomb shelter within half a football field would die—not from the blast but from the shock. To put it bluntly, one shell could blow open half a mountain. It’s like TNT, though the principles differ, the effect is the same: massive destructive power.”
Hearing the butler’s explanation, Jing Shu understood that grenades used countless blades inside for damage, but compared to shells, their power was small. Grenades couldn’t blow up a house.
Thinking of this, Jing Shu felt the RV had all necessary functions, including defense and counterattack. Now it was complete. When the time came, her family living in such an RV would be very happy. She would no longer worry about harsh environments or invading creatures.
“Mr. Qian also considered sending cannons and grenades, but they weren’t as practical as these shells. Such powerful weapons will definitely be useful on the road,” the butler said proudly, as if he himself had received the gift from Mr. Qian.
“Xiao Cai, you haven’t told us yet—why did Mr. Qian suddenly become so generous?”
“That’s because Miss Jing Shu is the expert who disarmed four tons of bombs by hand recently. Without her, the last fortress in Xishan might have been destroyed. Mr. Qian considered other gifts but realized what Miss Jing Shu needs most is armed power.” The butler spoke frankly, making Jing Shu cough twice and quietly slip away.
“I see. This turret should be the most valuable item here today, right?”
The butler raised his pinky and smiled, “Old Wang, don’t joke. That helicopter is the most valuable gift here. Unfortunately, the owner hasn’t arrived yet, or we could all see it.”
“Yes, I heard it’s Mr. Qian’s reward for building the Xishan one-stop base. No matter how expensive the helicopter is, building such a large base in three months is worth it.”
“Xiao Cai, we’ve seen everything in the exhibition hall.” Su Mary blinked. For someone like her, curiosity was satisfied. Though the items were valuable, she wasn’t interested—they weren’t lacking anything. So it was no longer exciting.
The butler immediately caught on. This young lady had wanted to see the underground area for a while.
“Well then, while the event hasn’t started, shall we go see the employees’ living quarters underground?”
“Sure, let’s go. I’ve wanted to see it for a long time, but I thought Mr. Qian wanted to surprise you,” Su Mary said shyly, taking Jing Shu’s hand happily as they headed to the underground passage.
After the terrible bombing last time, Su Mary surprisingly had no trauma—she was quite strong.
“Miss Jing Shu, do you want these installed on your RV now or after the event?”
Jing Shu thought for a moment, “After the event is better. Just leave them here for now. They won’t run away anyway.”
“Ha ha, that’s right. To receive so many valuable gifts from Mr. Qian, you’re truly honored.”
“Hehe.” Jing Shu smiled and followed Su Mary and the butler to the underground passage—the employees’ living quarters.
Jing Shu was truly surprised. It completely overturned her expectations of the employees. She hadn’t expected Qian Duoduo to build such a nice place, much more luxurious than Banana Community, and far better than sleeping in a garage.
