A drop of gun oil is applied to the guide rail.
The cleaning rod was inserted into the gun barrel, bringing out a little gunpowder residue.
Reassemble, pull the bolt again, the movement is as smooth as silk.
Su Wei pulled a row of bullets from the ammunition box.
.30-06 Hornady shotgun shell, 150-grain heavy round.
Once this type of bullet penetrates flesh, it will open up like flower petals, causing terrible damage.
Each shot is expensive.
But what he's after is tens of thousands of dollars in cash.
A deal that can only make you money.
He used his thumb to press the bullets into the magazine one by one.
The resistance transmitted by the spring is proof of the accumulation of force.
One round loaded, three rounds in reserve.
For that buck, one shot was enough.
What remains is to leave room for possible unforeseen events.
Su Wei raised his gun, placed it on his shoulder, and pressed it to his cheek.
He squinted, peering out the window through the high-magnification scope; the crosshairs sliced through the pitch-black night.
Although we can't see anything right now.
But he could almost see the enormous stag, panting heavily, standing in the snow-covered U-Shaped Valley.
Those exaggerated antlers were both its pride and its destiny.
My finger rests lightly on the outside of the trigger guard.
Su Wei's breathing became long and even, his heartbeat slowed, and he entered a kind of hunting rhythm.
"Tomorrow."
He uttered two words softly.
"Click."
Close the insurance.
He's just waiting to see if fate will give him that chance.
Will the snowstorm stop?
Chapter 50 Searching for Deer in the Snow: A Chance to Get Rich
The sun shines brightly on the earth.
After three days of relentless heavy snow, sunshine finally arrived today.
The stark white light shone down, reflecting off the endless expanse of white snow.
It's extremely glaring, especially if you don't take proper precautions.
In this kind of weather, it's easy to get snow blindness.
"Hoo €€€€"
A puff of white mist was exhaled with each breath, then quickly disappeared into the frigid air.
Su Wei shoveled it heavily into the snowdrift.
He stood in the cleared ground in front of the wooden house, his hands gripping the shovel handles, panting heavily.
Sweat streamed down his back, and his thermal underwear was already soaked through.
Two hours.
From the moment dawn broke, he kept repeating the motions of shoveling and throwing snow.
That damn blizzard last night almost buried the whole cabin.
It snowed heavily all night long, almost the heaviest snowfall in recent days.
In the deepest parts, the snow even submerged half of the windows. If it's not cleared in time, and the snow melts and then freezes again when the temperature rises, the weight could crush the main beams of this old wooden house.
Especially the roof.
Su Wei looked up.
The wooden house, which originally had a pointed roof, is now round like a big mushroom.
He had just had to risk setting up a ladder and using a long pole to poke off the snow eaves that were about to fall off the edge of the roof.
That would be even more strenuous and risky.
Fortunately, the work is finished.
A narrow path, about one meter wide, leads from the entrance to the garage and then to the outside.
This is the only man-made trace on this vast expanse of white snow.
[You've done a great job clearing the snow from your home, averting the risk of your house collapsing.]
[ Life Module Experience +15]
[ Life Module lv2 (159/300)]
A blue, semi-transparent panel flashed past the edge of my field of vision.
Su Wei didn't pay any attention.
He took off his thick gloves, which were covered in ice, and vigorously brushed the snow off his body.
"Clang."
The shovel was leaning against the corner of the wall.
Su Wei pushed open the heavy oak door, and a wave of warm air mixed with the crackling sound of the fireplace rushed out.
The sudden temperature change from minus thirty degrees Celsius to plus twenty degrees Celsius made him feel a little dizzy.
The room was quiet.
The fire in the fireplace was still burning, occasionally crackling.
Cotton Candy was fast asleep on the wool carpet, her big tail covering her nose. When she heard the door open, she only twitched her ears, too lazy to turn over.
He ate too much last night, and with the house warm, the little guy became completely lazy.
Su Wei hung his coat on the rack by the door and walked quickly to the table by the window.
There's an old-fashioned radio there.
Turn the knob with your fingers.
"Sizzle"
There was no human voice.
Apart from the static from the electrical circuits, you couldn't hear anything else.
Su Wei frowned and patiently fine-tuned the frequency.
I switched from AM to FM and tried a few more of my usual Kodiak local channels.
There's no signal at all.
He took his phone out of his pocket.
The screen lights up.
The signal bar in the upper right corner is a glaring "×".
It seems that this unprecedented blizzard has brought too many problems.
Either the transmission tower collapsed under the weight of the snow, or the geomagnetic storm interference was too severe.
At this point, he completely disappeared.
"As expected."
Su Wei tossed the phone back onto the table with a soft thud.
He walked to the window and looked into the distance through the glass.
The dirt road leading to Kodiak Town has been completely hidden from view.
The bushes and signposts that used to line the roadside were all gone, and all that could be seen was a continuous expanse of white snow-covered hills.
With such heavy snow, not to mention his Dodge, even a military all-terrain vehicle couldn't drive it.
Unless there's a helicopter, he'll be completely trapped here.
There was no rescue.
No supplies were provided.
There was no one to talk to.
