The Girl is Quite Clever, Modifying a Nail Gun!

First Floor!

"Dinglingling... Dinglingling..."

"Today is a good day..."

"The vast expanse of the world is my love..."

The cell phones of several zombies near the north gate started ringing under Jarvis's control, causing all the surrounding zombies to crazily rush over there.

Shelves and shopping carts in their way were knocked into disarray, creating loud noises, making the already chaotic first floor even more disorderly.

The zombies emitting the ringtone were quickly surrounded by dozens of other zombies and pushed towards the north gate.

...

"Sir, according to calculations, it will take about three minutes for the zombies on the first floor to reach the north gate switch!" Jarvis, constantly monitoring the zombies' positions on the first floor via cell phone location, reported the success of herding them towards the north gate.

"Good, recalculate the time it will take for those downstairs to reach the second floor." Seeing everything progressing as planned without any surprises, Ray nodded and instructed.

"According to calculations, the survivors approaching this way, at their current speed, will take about seventeen minutes to reach the second floor."

Jarvis paused for less than a second before quickly recalculating and reporting based on the current known situation.

"Very good!"

The timing was almost exactly as he had guessed, everything was going according to plan without any incidents.

Ray breathed a sigh of relief and went to the window on the second floor to look out at the dark streets outside the supermarket.

Perhaps due to the arrival of night, the zombies on the streets became more active. The streets, which had only a few zombies earlier, were now swarming with them!

It was unclear where they had gone during the day, but now they had all returned!

Seeing this, Ray slightly frowned, "These wouldn't be like the zombies in 'Resident Evil,' becoming more excited at night, would they?"

"However, these didn't significantly affect his plan, nor did he dwell on them much, and he directly gave orders to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, as soon as the north gate is breached by the zombies, immediately start the armored vehicle to make noise, and the louder, the better! Keep it up until most of the zombies on the first floor are lured away, then drive the vehicle away and hide it!"

"Understood, sir!"

This was the latter part of the first step of the plan, and also the most crucial aspect. If this part wasn't executed well, then the rest of the plan would fall apart.

However, since Jarvis was in charge of this task, he was quite confident that there wouldn't be any major issues.

He then briefly mentioned a few precautions to Jarvis, such as not letting the zombies surround the armored vehicle and avoiding getting the vehicle stuck in a dead end.

After giving all the instructions and ensuring nothing was overlooked, all that was left was to wait for the zombies to trigger the north gate switch.

And just at that moment, a loud sound of the rolling gate being lifted suddenly came from downstairs!

"It worked!"

Ray immediately ordered: "Jarvis! Start the armored vehicle! Make noise!"

"Understood, sir!"

Jarvis responded.

The next second, the armored vehicle hidden not far from the supermarket suddenly started up. Under Jarvis's control, it burst out of a small alley.

Boom—

And the moment it burst out, without hesitation, it hit a flipped car on the roadside. With its strong body and power, it directly knocked it away, creating a loud noise.

Beep, beep, beep—

Also, because of this loud noise, the car alarms of several private cars parked on the roadside were triggered, further amplifying the noise.

"Jarvis, turn off the phone ringer!" Ray watched the scene, directing calmly.

"Understood, sir."

"Hehe..."

When the ringtone of the mobile phone was turned off, the zombies inside the supermarket were immediately attracted by the noise made by the armored vehicle outside, pouring out through the north gate.

"It's about time!"

Seeing that no more zombies were rushing out from the supermarket, Ray diverted his gaze and returned to Liu Yuqing's side.

By then, Liu Yuqing had nearly finished eating. Seeing him approach, she quickly took a few sips of water and stood up: "I'm ready."

Ray raised an eyebrow, not yet speaking, and the other party had already guessed what he wanted to say.

This girl was quite astute!

He nodded, "Hmm, follow me, and be mindful to avoid the cameras."

Saying this, he avoided the cameras based on the real-time reminders about their locations from Jarvis through the Bluetooth earpiece, heading towards the hardware and miscellaneous goods area.

Liu Yuqing, seeing this, hurriedly followed.

In a few minutes, the two arrived at the hardware and miscellaneous goods area.

Entering a shop within the hardware and miscellaneous goods area, Ray had Liu Yuqing watch the door, then his gaze fell on the shelves filled with various tools, slightly frowning as he inquired in his mind to the system.

"System, what materials and how many points are needed to modify a nail gun?"

"Ding! There are two modification schemes for the nail gun, each requiring different materials and points."

The system's cold voice responded.

"Two schemes? What are they?"

Ray was slightly surprised. There were multiple schemes to modify a nail gun?

"Ding, they are the direct-action nail gun scheme, and the indirect-action nail gun scheme," the system answered.

"Direct-action and indirect-action? What's the difference between the two?"

"Ding, the direct-action nail gun uses gunpowder as its power source, with an effective range of 30 meters, capable of piercing 8mm thick steel plate within 3 meters, and can load twenty nails. It requires fifteen types of materials and 80 points!"

"The indirect-action nail gun, powered by compressed air, has an effective range of 10 meters, capable of piercing 8mm thick steel plate within 1 meter, and can load twenty nails. It requires six types of materials and 10 points!"

The system's cold voice conveyed, providing the details.

"Can the indirect-action nail gun be modified into a direct-action nail gun?" After hearing the pros and cons of both schemes, he pondered for a few seconds, forming an idea, and then asked again.

"Yes!"

Having received the answer he wanted, Ray made up his mind without hesitation, "What materials are needed for the indirect-action nail gun scheme?"

There wasn't much time left for him, and according to the system's description, opting for the direct-action nail gun scheme would definitely not leave enough time to gather the materials.

Since the indirect-action nail gun could be upgraded to a direct-action model, there was naturally no need for further hesitation.

Moreover, comparatively speaking, the indirect-action nail gun was more suited to his current situation.

"Ding! To modify the indirect-action nail gun, you need a standard nail gun, one steel ruler, twenty nails, a roll of tape, two pounds of cast iron, thirty centimeters of plastic tubing, and one canister of jet fuel."

As the system's voice rang out, Ray immediately started searching for the mentioned materials in the hardware store.

Fortunately, except for the canister of jet fuel, all these materials were common in daily life and not hard to find.

In less than three minutes, Ray had found all the necessary materials, except for the jet fuel canister, which took a bit more time, but everything else was relatively easy.

Of course, finding the jet fuel canister would not have been so easy without Jarvis, since he had hardly ever seen one before.

"Ding! All materials are ready. Would you like to start the modification now?"

Once all the materials were gathered, the system's voice immediately rang out again.

"Yes! Start the modification now!"

Ray didn't hesitate and directly responded.

"Ding! The modification of the indirect-action nail gun is beginning!"

As the system's voice concluded, the nail gun laid out in front of him started to be modified at a speed visible to the naked eye. And as the nail gun was being modified, the materials Ray had gathered were gradually being used up.
