QBZ and QBU
Chapter 70: QBZ and QBU
However, when Su Chen entered the room and searched carefully, he was deeply disappointed!
Because inside the room, the cabinets and boxes that once stored weapons were all completely empty!
Su Chen couldn't help but feel a bit let down.
He hadn't found any corpses in the building after searching for so long.
He figured that when the flash floods came and the river overflowed, the soldiers in the barracks must have sensed danger and retreated early.
When they retreated, they took all the weapons with them, one after another!
After all, weapon control in China was extremely strict!
But because of this, Su Chen was about to come back empty-handed!
However, unwilling to give up, he decided to thoroughly search the few remaining rooms one more time.
Unexpectedly, Su Chen's persistence actually brought him an unexpected gain.
The last room had a sign on the door that read "Weapon Repair Room."
Su Chen's heart stirred, and he quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
Unlike the previous storage room, this room looked quite messy.
On the tables and the floor lay scattered various gun and ammunition parts.
After searching for a while, Su Chen really did find two guns.
One was a rifle, the other a sniper rifle equipped with a scope.
Although it was his first time seeing them in real life, Su Chen immediately recognized the models.
The QBZ-95, and the QBU.
After all, he had played with these two guns countless times in the mobile and PC versions of PUBG!
It seemed the soldiers had retreated in a hurry.
Although they took all the weapons from the storage room, they still overlooked a few guns in the repair room.
But since these guns were kept in the repair room, they were probably malfunctioning.
Su Chen thought for a moment, then packed all the parts in the room into his bag.
Then, carrying the heavy bag, he returned to the water surface.
After taking off his diving suit, Su Chen breathed in the fresh air.
Once he calmed down, he put on his jacket again and placed all the items on the inflatable boat.
He had to admit that this big-brand inflatable boat was really top quality.
Despite the long and heavy rain, the boat had filled with water but had not capsized.
Once everything was ready, Su Chen climbed into the boat and headed back the way he came.
When he reached the shore and got out of the boat, he hadn't yet had time to pack up when Liu Linger ran out from the RV.
"Ah Chen... I was so worried about you!"
She threw herself into Su Chen's arms, her voice choked with emotion.
Su Chen had been gone for two or three hours.
Liu Linger, a fragile woman, left alone in the wild, in pouring rain and pitch darkness—how could she not be scared?
Seeing Su Chen return, she couldn't control her emotions.
"Alright, I'm back now," Su Chen smiled lightly, patting her head.
"You go back to the RV first, I'll pack these things up."
"No, I want to help you pack!"
Seeing Liu Linger's determination, Su Chen did not refuse.
Together, they folded up the inflatable boat and carried all the equipment back into the RV.
"Ah Chen, so… did you find any guns?"
Once calm, Liu Linger asked with concern.
"Of course."
Su Chen opened his bag and took out the QBZ and QBU.
"That's wonderful!"
Liu Linger couldn't help but smile, but then looked worried.
"These two guns have been soaked in water—can they still be used?"
"I don't know," Su Chen shook his head.
As a civilian, he rarely handled firearms and wasn't sure if these guns could still function properly.
Besides these two guns, he had also found quite a few bullets.
But these bullets had also been soaked in water.
Still, since he had come all this way, he couldn't just leave empty-handed.
That was why he took everything without hesitation.
After resting briefly, Su Chen ate some instant food.
Once his strength recovered, he started the Normadison and planned to return to Phoenix Mountain.
After all, Gao Qiqiang was still lurking, and if he stayed away too long, trouble might arise.
But since night had fallen, Su Chen didn't rush onto the road.
He stopped on the roadside after returning to the highway, intending to rest until early morning before setting off again.
...
"Ah Chen, wake up! Wake up!"
Su Chen, who was asleep, was suddenly lightly shaken by Liu Linger.
He opened his eyes and yawned.
"What is it? What's going on?"
"Look outside the vehicle!"
Liu Linger said nervously.
Did something happen?
Su Chen immediately became alert, stood up, and walked to the control panel.
Through the surveillance monitor, he saw many people gathered around the Normadison, pointing and gesturing.
"Where did these people come from?"
Su Chen turned to Liu Linger.
"I checked the monitors just now—they're refugees fleeing from afar."
Liu Linger explained.
Su Chen glanced again and realized.
These people carried large bags and packs; several vehicles were parked nearby. They really did look like refugees.
It made sense.
After all, with the heavy rain continuing for so long, low-lying areas had already become vast lakes.
Within a hundred-mile radius, Phoenix Mountain was the highest ground.
To survive, people naturally had to flee toward Phoenix Mountain.
Su Chen didn't bother with them and started the RV, honking the horn.
The loud engine roar and horn startled the people outside.
They quickly backed away to give the Normadison space.
Su Chen stepped on the gas and drove the RV away with a roar!
The rest of the trip was uneventful.
Along the way, Su Chen saw many survivors—some driving, some on foot—heading toward Phoenix Mountain.
So many survivors heading there at once...
The situation on the mountain was probably about to change again!
Thinking this, Su Chen pressed harder on the accelerator and sped toward Phoenix Mountain.
Meanwhile, on a nearby bus, a beautiful figure watching the Normadison speed away couldn't help but show a look of surprise on her pale face.
At the same time, inside another car on the road, a middle-aged man stared wide-eyed at Su Chen's Normadison, his gaze full of greed.
...
When Su Chen returned to the Yuerdon Hotel, it was already afternoon.
He told He Wang via the walkie-talkie that he was back and asked him to open the iron gate.
After parking, Su Chen carried the bag containing the guns and ammunition into the office.
Before Su Chen could speak, He Wang's face turned serious.
"Brother Su, the situation up on the mountain... seems a bit off."
