Chapter 509: Chapter 502 The Necessity of Reconnaissance

Armed with a deadly weapon, the desire to kill arises spontaneously.

With the sniper cannon in hand, the Ram felt an urge to seek out an Armored Beast for a test.

This mentality of the Ram was perfectly normal, even exceedingly so.

Shenzhou had ample manpower and resources, and they were not lacking in technology or raw materials, but why didn’t Shenzhou make such sniper cannons? It was simply because there was no need. Since it required the assembly of many people and many guns to contend with an Armored Beast, it made more sense to mobilize the army and heavy artillery instead. There was no need to consider how a single soldier could deal with such a monster.

But for the Ram, he had to consider how to effectively deal with the Armored Beasts, as he had very few men under his command, he had to contemplate which weapon would be most suitable for an individual soldier.

If one soldier was not enough, then it was time to consider a two-man team, if two people were not enough, then reluctantly, a three-man team would have to do.

So now that the sniper cannon was available, the Ram had to find out if the weapon was effective against the Armored Beasts. If it was, the Solar System Company would certainly immediately train a batch of shooters, specifically for the occasion when they encountered alien attacks, so they wouldn’t be caught without a suitable weapon.

Ultimately, it was a question of strength, which then dictated tactics and strategy, leading the Ram to feel an urgent need for the sniper cannon.

Gao Yuan began to seriously consider the Ram’s suggestion, and then he thought that perhaps they really should give it a try.

However, at that moment, the Rabbit expressed her disdain, "You want to test the cannon? In person? Great, you just need to persuade Big Dog, the general, your wives, your parents, the staff office, persuade... and then you can go."

The Ram’s face immediately drooped.

The Rabbit looked at Gao Yuan and smiled, "I think the two of us make the perfect combination. Look, you’re in great physical shape, carrying the cannon back and forth should be no problem, and I’ll handle the firing. We could sneak out, take an Armored Beast down, and then run. On our way, we could even do some reconnaissance of the current situation in Malakal, don’t you think?"

Li Jinfang nodded and said, "The Rabbit rarely makes sense, but yeah, I think you two are quite fit for this. However, just the two of you is still too few. I better go as well, and we can do some proper reconnaissance to see what’s going on in Malakal now."

The Ram’s expression grew even more sour, and he said in a deep voice, "Since when is it your turn to decide?"

Li Jinfang looked at Gao Yuan and laughed, "If the three of us go, the staff office will definitely agree. Big Dog doesn’t care, the key is that Ailin’s dad will surely agree, but you going, ha..."

The Ram took a deep breath and said, "Such a hassle, such a hassle..."

Being a core member of the Solar System Company, and the big boss, thinking about personally joining the fight was just not practical.

The Ram sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let’s not look for trouble. But the two of you shouldn’t get your hopes up either. I’ll send a reconnaissance team with the sniper cannon for testing."

The Rabbit said anxiously, "This is my cannon, who do you think you’re lending it to?"

Ram simply glanced at Rabbit and said with disdain, "Keep dreaming!"

Just then, Gao Yuan spoke softly, "Let me say something, if it’s really recon, I’m out, but if you guys want to test fire, especially at the Armored Beasts, then I must go. Otherwise, if you send people, however, many you send, that many will die."

Ram frowned and asked, "Is it really that serious?"

Gao Yuan confidently replied, "It’s not an exaggeration, it’s a fact. If it’s fighting against humans, I’m definitely not your match, but if it’s against zombies and monsters, you’re not my equal, not even all of you combined."

Ram spread his hands and said, "You’ve already made the characteristics of the monsters and zombies very clear. I feel... it should be fine, right? Be careful, and it should be okay, right?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "Unless you’ve seen thousands of zombies charging together, never say it should be okay. A small number of zombies isn’t a problem, neither is a small number of monsters. You want to test fire and just take a shot and leave, but the most likely problem is that once you fire, you’ll attract all the nearby zombies and monsters. Then, it’ll be hard to retreat when you want to."

Rabbit said in confusion, "That’s not right. When we were capturing the launcher at the airport, there weren’t that many monsters."

"That’s because the entire city was firing, gunfire was everywhere. But now it’s different. Now Malakal is very quiet. As soon as you fire, all the zombies that hear the sound will head over there. Also, do you know where there are any Armored Beasts? What if you have to enter the city? Are you confident you can go in and then get out?"

After speaking, Gao Yuan pointed to his nose and said, "Only I am confident I can go in and come out. Also, I can only guarantee to go and have a test shot. Then the sniper rifle used for testing will likely have to be abandoned, so if you want to test sniper rifles, you’d better make a few more."

Ram nodded. He pondered for a long time before speaking solemnly, "In that case, it can’t be just a small-scale recon operation then. What do you think, if we have the opportunity to clean up the monsters and zombies of Malakal and then occupy it?"

Gao Yuan immediately said, "Completely clean up Malakal’s monsters? That would be a huge project, and casualties could be very high."

Ram spoke softly, "Hmm, what about using a nuclear bomb?"

Gao Yuan froze, exclaiming in surprise, "A nuclear bomb? To clean up zombies?"

Ram’s thinking was very quick. He spoke quietly, "We don’t know the situation in Malakal now, and that won’t do. For such a high-threat target, we can’t afford not to know what’s inside. No matter what, we can’t let the Sanitation Worker get this complete industrial and logistics base. Even if we can’t have it, we must destroy Malakal."

After that, Ram looked at Gao Yuan and said, "So the significance of another recon operation is huge, right? I need to discuss this with the staff first and then decide how to proceed based on the reconnaissance results. How about it, Xiao Gao, can you go for a recon?"

Gao Yuan didn’t hesitate and said, "Do you even have to ask? Of course, I can, but if I’m going for a recon, I’ll need to have weapons first. You know, cold weapons like swords and knives. Also, I suggest you start preparing a large quantity of cold weapons."

Ram sighed again and said, "Yeah, now that you mention it, a thorough recon is even more necessary. So, let’s start making your weapon now. Whatever requirements you have, just say them, we can start making it now. Jack here can basically make anything. Oh right, we do have a Bladesmith, and there are not a few experts in using knives here."

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I’m a Bladesmith myself, so as long as I have equipment, I can make my own anytime."

Ram, who was always decisive, waved his hand and said, "Toad, see what Gao Yuan needs and coordinate to get it for him. Rabbit, continue with your cannon testing, think with Jack about making something suitable for Gao Yuan to take and test. I’m off to the staff, just like that. If there’s anything, come find me at the staff."
