Chapter 2 The Great Battle
1150 Words
The Bald Eagle Gang's gunmen opened fire when they were about a hundred meters away.
Instantly, gunfire erupted, and thick smoke from the gunpowder filled the air, engulfing the entire street!
"Damn it, the smoke is too thick!"
Cai Zheng immediately moved to a different spot. The smoke from the shop owner and the gunmen's pistols was obstructing his vision.
He moved to a higher, more open location to continue sniping.
"Boss, do you have a better spot here?
The smoke is too thick, it's affecting my vision!"
Cai Zheng yelled, the gunfire was unbearable!
"I'll take you to the attic on the second floor!"
The shop owner immediately led Cai Zheng to the second floor and up to the attic.
"It's much easier here!"
Cai Zheng climbed to the top of the attic. The view was incredibly clear; he could see several main streets and even the Bald Eagle Gang gunmen and their cowboys below! "Just wait until I take them all out one by one!"
Cai Zheng aimed at a bald-headed gunman and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A shot rang out, and the gunman fell to the ground!
"The sooner he dies, the better!"
Cai Zheng fired five more rounds, then took out another spool to load into the magazine.
"Clang!"
Cai Zheng shoved the bolt, forcing the bullet out, then aimed again.
"Whoosh!"
Cai Zheng heard two whooshing sounds and immediately dodged behind a wooden plank beside him.
"Clang!" Two bullets, not even penetrating the plank, only embedding themselves slightly.
Well, at this distance, and with crudely manufactured bullets, the lethality was far too low!
"Damn, scared the hell out of me!"
Cai Zheng dodged the attack and fired a shot backhand.
"Bang!"
The gun fired, casing ejected, chambered, fired!
Each gunshot rang out, and a Bald Eagle Gang gunman fell. At a distance of less than 100 meters, the 98k's power and accuracy were 100%!
It could even shoot through two people in one go!
"Damn it, the guy on the rooftop is a crack shot!"
"And our guns can't reach him!"
"Third Boss, have we run into some big shot?
That guy has killed over twenty of our men since we started shooting!"
Cai Zhengqi's incredibly accurate marksmanship, combined with the powerful 98k, halted the Bald Eagle Gang's advance!
"Damn it, this is a tough one!"
"Thud!"
Before the so-called Third Boss could finish speaking, his head was severed.
"i***t, you're dressed too conspicuously!"
Cai Zheng pulled back the bolt, ejecting the last spent cartridge. The Third Boss's attire had been too flashy, so Cai Zheng had sniped him.
"Also, wooden pillars can't stop a 98k!"
"Damn it, the third leader's dead!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"Go back and tell the boss!"
In the chaos, the Bald Eagle Gang retreated hastily. Amidst the chaos, the cowboys of the town gave chase, routing the Bald Eagle Gang.
Meanwhile, Cai Zheng stood on the rooftop, shooting one at a time, killing three or four Bald Eagle Gang gunmen!
"Hey, they've broken through!"
Seeing that the Bald Eagle Gang members had already escaped beyond the town gates, Cai Zheng finally put away his gun.
He checked the ammunition in his pocket; he'd used forty rounds, leaving only sixty.
However, he hadn't fired a single pistol shot yet; one hundred rounds should be enough.
Cai Zheng put away his gun, carefully collecting the spent cartridges, and went downstairs.
"Quick, that's our hero!"
"Yeah, I saw it too! His marksmanship is amazing, one shot, one kill!"
"Huh?"
As soon as Cai Zheng stepped downstairs, he was surrounded by a group of people.
His 'feat' of easily sniping over thirty members of the Bald Eagle Gang from the rooftop was witnessed by everyone in town, so he seemed to have been hailed as a hero.
Actually, most of the credit went to his 98k rifle.
The 98k's accuracy, power, range, etc., far surpassed any other firearm in this world.
And he also had a 4x scope!
That's why Cai Zheng was so skilled!
"Hero, please stay!"
"Yes, stay, stay and protect the town of Dilis!"
"Uh?"
Cai Zheng suddenly felt that happiness had come too suddenly; he had only just arrived and already become a hero.
And he hadn't said he was leaving! It could only be that the villagers here were too hot, or perhaps they desperately wanted a powerful protector!
"Alright!"
Cai Zheng feigned hesitation for a moment, then agreed.
Perfect, he wouldn't have to pay for his own meal.
After the battle, the townspeople began cleaning up and sweeping the streets.
As for Cai Zheng, he didn't have to do anything.
This guy, just like that, inexplicably became the town's sheriff, gained a huge gold five-pointed star, a black bulletproof vest, a really cool leather jacket, and a hat.
In short, it was like getting a new set of equipment after defeating a monster!
Then, he moved into the police station.
He had his own room and office.
The police station was large, but small, with only about twenty people—far from enough manpower.
And the equipment was outdated; there were only five rifles, one for each person.
But the weaponry was truly rudimentary.
"Hmm, I have the territory, but no people and no equipment!"
Cai Zheng now understood why those people had made him the sheriff.
There's nothing here, and the higher-level police station barely cares; many officers are still owed wages, hence the current state of the situation.
The biggest problem facing Cai Zheng now is the lack of funds and equipment!
Even a skilled cook can't cook without rice; what to do?
"Hey, system?"
Cai Zheng immediately summoned his weapons system.
"Ding, weapons system activated!
Ding, insufficient materials, unable to produce!"
"Does that mean I can produce weapons as long as I have the materials?"
Cai Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, the M1987 gun is relatively simple to produce; it mainly requires wood and iron ore.
The corresponding ammunition requires copper and gunpowder.
Gunpowder can also be produced using only raw materials, and it's smokeless gunpowder!"
"Damn, that's easy!"
Cai Zheng acted immediately, making preparations.
First, he found a spacious room to use as a warehouse to store the raw materials.
Then he prepared another room to store the weapons.
"Okay, now all we need are the raw materials!"
Cai Zheng left the police station, intending to go to the small town outside to see if he could find any raw materials.
Cai Zheng arrived in the town and quickly found ore, followed by raw materials for gunpowder, etc.
He was quite lucky; upon hearing that it was for building weapons to protect the town, and given his 'heroic' reputation, the shopkeeper practically gave it to him for free.
"Alright, we have the raw materials, let's start production!"
After transporting the materials to the warehouse, Cai Zheng opened the system to prepare for production.
