Rows and rows of bullets were fixed in the collection bucket. Trying to take one out, Su Mo saw the number on the bullet under the light.

SM-5.56-2058.

This is a mark automatically added by the machine tool when manufacturing bullets, and it is also a unique symbol of "automation capability".

Anyone who gets their hands on this bullet can tell by observing the markings that it was not manufactured from scratch, but rather from machine tools.

The bullets were neatly arranged, each one engraved with a steel pattern according to its numerical value.

Firing 40 bullets, he retrieved M-1 Automatic Rifle from the Storage Space, which had been manufactured but was still without bullets.

Having experience loading pistols, it was Su Mo's first time loading an Automatic Rifle, and he quickly completed the magazine loading.

Thump!

The magazine was pushed into the rifle, and the joint made a metallic clanging sound.

With a rifle slung over his shoulder and a surge of pride welling up inside, Su Mo strode to the garage door on the first floor. After a brief look around, he spotted the Wild Wolf lurking in the distance, eyeing the Big and Little Spark with predatory intent.

This type of Wild Wolf is clearly described in the Monster Compendium. It has enhanced cold resistance and sense of smell, making it a natural enemy of herbivores and giving it a natural fear of medium to large-sized enemies.

Looking at the location where the four Wild Wolf were hiding, Su Mo stretched his body, which was restricted by his cotton-padded coat, and picked up his Automatic Rifle.

For beginners, the most important thing about standing posture is to relax.

Everyone has their own most suitable shooting posture, and the shooting posture varies depending on the situation.

In actual combat, unlike in movies and TV dramas where everyone holds their gun in the same position, in reality, apart from strictly trained honor guards, all sorts of strange shooting postures will appear in actual combat.

For example, the current Su Mo adopts a high-preparation posture, directly tucking the butt of the gun into the armpit to secure it and ensure it won't wobble.

The next second, seeing the Wild Wolf reappear in the distance, Su Mo's terrifying reflexes and increasingly powerful physical abilities made him immediately pick up his gun and turn off the safety.

With the butt of the gun pressed against his shoulder and his cheek close to the sight line, Su Mo aimed at the still bewildered Wild Wolf and quickly pulled the trigger.

Beep beep beep! It was the first time using a rifle. Compared to the recoil of a pistol, the rifle was undoubtedly much more terrifying. A three-round burst not only made Su Mo's shoulder hurt, but also caused him to experience a brief ringing in his ears.

The booming sound was like a heavy blow to the head, and Su Mo, who hadn't yet adjusted to the sensation, almost fell to the ground.

"Goodness, the TV shows really are lying; the recoil of rifles is terrifying."

While observing the Wild Wolf lying on the ground at the end of the snowfield, Su Mo walked over, rubbing his slightly sore shoulder.

By directly using the shoulder to withstand the recoil without actively leaning back to absorb the force, extremely high precision is achieved.

The alpha wolf among the four Wild Wolf had already been pierced by three bullets; the 5.56 lead bullets unleashed their maximum power the moment they entered the Wild Wolf's body.

Visible blood gushed from the Wild Wolf's body, staining the snow with a bloody stench.

Through his Combat Suit, Su Mo surveyed his surroundings, then flipped the Wild Wolf over to carefully examine the spot where the bullet had entered.

Of the three bullets, only one hit the Wild Wolf squarely in the abdomen.

This bullet, however, created a large, funnel-shaped hole with a small inlet and a large outlet.

"Wow, that's terrifying damage! As long as the accuracy is maintained, one bullet can definitely take down the enemy!"

Looking at the wound, Su Mo clicked his tongue in amazement.

During the period of fastest bullet development, the military would deliberately enhance the bullet's deformability when developing bullets.

For example, use easily deformable lead as the bullet, and then add a thin copper armor in front of the lead bullet. This copper armor will ensure the bullet's flight trajectory. When it hits the human body, the copper armor and lead block deform instantly, like throwing a lump of mud on a wall. The surface area increases instantly, and all the bullet's kinetic energy is poured into the human body, increasing the killing effect.

This manufacturing method ensures that the instantaneous cavity created by the bullet upon impact is lethal even if it hits a non-critical area.

Having learned from his previous experience, this time, when clearing out the remaining three Wild Wolf, Su Mo used up all his remaining bullets and killed them all.

Of the three firing modes, single shot is the most stable and suitable for long-range shooting, burst fire provides strong instantaneous firepower and is suitable for close combat, while three-round burst is suitable for dealing with fast-moving enemies.

"Single-shot is too slow; for sniping or assassination, a crossbow is definitely the way to go. Automatic mode is the most satisfying, giving you a thrilling feeling, but the bullets are still quite expensive."

Smacking his lips, Su Mo put the Automatic Rifle back into his spatial storage. Looking at the few Wild Wolf lying on the ground, he had no intention of taking them back. He found a low-lying spot and threw them down, using their flesh and blood to fertilize the earth.

As time went on, the drop rate of treasure chests from killing these common Mutated Creature became pitifully low; four Wild Wolf didn't drop a single chest.

"Kobolds, now that winter is over, we can finally put an end to our feud!"

Back at the base gate, looking at Oreo was still unconscious in his little den, and the growing storm that was starting to blow as darkness fell, Su Mo slowly looked toward the Kobold Castle, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

With guns and ammunition, taking down the kobolds is only a matter of time.

With thousands of kobolds still inside the castle, and considering the loot boxes they could drop, Su Mo temporarily suppressed his idea of launching an attack during the disaster.

After waiting for about two more hours, feeling that the wind had reached level nine, Su Mo had no choice but to take the Oreo back to the garage and put them down.

Fortunately, the day wasn't wasted; at least when I touched its head, Oreo showed signs of waking up.

After moving Oreo's little house to the first floor and placing it by the door, Su Mo pried open the dog's mouth and fed it some crushed biscuit and Psionic Water before closing the stone door and returning to the second basement level.

"It looks like Oreo's evolution will take another day to complete. Luckily, I'm not busy lately, otherwise I wouldn't be able to take care of it when I go out!"

After a cold day, both Big and Little Spark were listless. They drank some Psionic Water, lay down on the sofa, and stopped moving!

Seeing the two little ones, Su Mo wasn't in a hurry. He went straight to the Energy Room and turned on the power.

The increased power was accompanied by a noticeably louder roar.

The three-layer machine tool was still working continuously. After importing the design drawings of the Explosive Pack and RPG, it was unable to make the RPG because it did not have the raw materials. However, the simplest Explosive Pack could be mass-produced.

High-quality Explosive Pack not only guarantee power but also enhance stability, making them far more meticulously crafted than handmade ones.

Su Mo only stopped his busy schedule when all the Picric Acid he had made during the day was assembled and 30 neatly arranged Explosive Pack were produced.

Back in the living room, lying on the soft sofa, feeling his body starting to feel cold after taking off his Combat Suit, Su Mo's gaze shifted to the air conditioner unit and the induction cooker he had acquired!

In the Trading Realm, they acquired two induction cookers, both of which were intact.

"Oh dear, these people are so impatient, is that all?"

By evening, when the storm hit, the temperature in the top-ranked shelter in the disaster relief livestream had reached 7 degrees Celsius.

The remaining live stream rooms maintained a temperature between 3 and 5 degrees Celsius, with the worst-performing live stream room having a pitiful temperature of only 1 degree Celsius.

If it weren't for the one-hour refresh time at the same temperature, these people would probably be removed from the list before they even had a chance to get used to it.

Standing up, Su Mo first used the abundant timber currently available in the base to build a TV cabinet in the living room according to the furniture style given in the previous design drawings, and also made a complete set of dining table and chairs, which he placed in the middle.

After several days of manufacturing, and with the elimination of polishing and sanding, coupled with consideration for design issues, the production speed was incredibly fast. In just half an hour, the empty living room was filled with fresh materials.

After thoroughly cleaning the induction cooker and confirming there were no problems, Su Mo poured out half a bucket of Psionic Water and set it aside.

The tomatoes in the Culture Medium are not ripe yet, but the Chinese cabbage is almost done.

With a heavy heart, Su Mo picked three large cabbages and three cloves of garlic, put them into the food basket slung over his arm, and then walked towards the freezer again.

The Beef and Mutton that were previously obtained from the treasure chests are now frozen in the freezer and are extremely fresh when taken out.

Place the meat into the ingredient box as well, and Su Mo then picked out another pound of mango and another pound of apples and put them in.

Picking up the remaining noodles and three bottles of Wanglaoji, Su Mo strode over, placed the food basket in front of the three-tiered dining table, and went to the air conditioner.

In such terrible weather, Su Mo was worried about turning on the air conditioner for the first time, but considering the nature of the outdoor unit, he still decisively turned on the switch.

With the mode switched to heating, the temperature set to 24 degrees Celsius, and the power selected to 2400W, the air conditioner began to tremble slowly and emit a piercing whirring sound.

The slender air conditioning duct connected to the outdoor unit and began to work. Suddenly, a burst of fiery red light emanated from the duct and connected to the main unit.

[Log]: Your equipment has gained new attributes (temporary buffs). Please check it promptly.

This red light was extremely peculiar; it continued to emit light even though there were no LED lights on the surface of the machine.

I tried stroking the console, and a virtual attribute box popped up.

[All-Weather Combat Outdoor Unit (in operation)]

[Description]: Tian'er Air Conditioner have "combative" outdoor units. The harsher the environment, the more the outdoor unit's fighting spirit is stimulated, producing special effects. Please experience the specific effects for yourself when using the product.

[Function]: Storm (Temporary): The combat aircraft felt a life-threatening storm, which inspired a bit of fighting spirit and gave it the effect of remaining steadfast.

Low temperature (temporary): The combat aircraft sensed the call from the main unit and achieved a rapid heating effect.

[Special Ability]: Unyielding: It will never be damaged by storms without external interference. Rapid Heating: When the set temperature is no higher than 24 degrees Celsius, it will temporarily unleash 300% of its power, and the power consumption will increase by 300% accordingly. "Good heavens, is this an air conditioner? This is probably a combat tool!"

Based on the current energy consumption of 2400W for air conditioners, once the heating is turned on, the power consumption will instantly reach 7200W.

Such terrifying power consumption is simply too extravagant and wasteful to use for air conditioning.

After trying to adjust the power consumption to 1000, Su Mo turned on the heating function again, and the power consumption instantly soared to 3000, while a blast of hot air blew out. -7-3-12!

Within just two or three minutes, the overall temperature in the shelter rose to 2 degrees Celsius and continued to rise.

This feeling is especially pronounced when you are on the third basement level; the brief burst of warm air gives you a feeling of being back in summer.

Trying to open the Disaster Resistance Live Stream Page, a notification appeared: [Record]: "Congratulations player Su Mo, your shelter's disaster relief attributes are currently ranked first in the world. Do you want to make the leaderboard data public and simultaneously start a live stream of your shelter's disaster relief efforts?"

[Record]: "Please note that starting a live stream will not show the interior of the shelter. Instead, it will create a circular live stream above the shelter, allowing other players to observe the ground structures!"

[Record]: "If you accumulate more than 12 hours on the leaderboard or reach 500 million views, and successfully survive the disaster, you will receive a random Survival Airdrop *1."

[Log]: "Open??"
