Surviving the Long Night: Starting from the Gas Station and Infinite Upgrades

Chapter 69 Machine Gun, 5 Men and 1 Good Knife

The entry for the second upgrade of the revolver is: Double Trigger.

This entry not only modifies the gun's structure to allow continuous firing, but also includes an accuracy enhancement effect, which will still be partially effective when using other firearms.

With this effect, the machine gun's spread was greatly restricted. Lu Sheng felt the vibrations of the gunshots and felt as if he were holding thunder in his hand, blasting the ferocious beasts to pieces.

With this fierce firepower, the distance between the truck and the herd was increased. After it passed through the camp gate, two sentries, one with a gun on guard and the other quickly closed the gate.

By the time the herd reached the camp gate, the iron gate was already closed. Their bodies made small impacts against the gate, creating a thud, but they were far from breaking it.

At this moment, Lu Sheng opened fire on the ferocious beasts. Watching his companions die in droves amidst the hail of bullets, the beasts abandoned their assault on the iron gate and quickly fled back into the darkness.

"call."

Lu Sheng exhaled a breath of stale air. Although he hadn't upgraded, the high rate of fire and ample ammunition supply made him feel excited during the battle.

The cost was also significant; in just a short while, the surrounding shell casings had already piled up all over the ground, and Lin Ran was cleaning them up one by one.

Seeing Lu Sheng bend down to help, Lin Ran stopped him:

"We need you more down here; leave this to me."

"OK."

Lu Sheng climbed down the watchtower and saw that the cargo bed of the speeding truck had been opened, and people were climbing down one after another.

He noticed that these people were not in good condition and couldn't help but feel sorry for them.

Shoving people directly into the truck bed, coupled with a long and bumpy ride, would be unpleasant for anyone.

After these people had calmed down for a while, the driver, who was in the best condition, looked around and Lu Sheng took the initiative to go to him.

"Sent by the family?"

"Ah... Oh, we are here on orders from the Lu family to assist Lu Sheng in building the No. 49 Transportation Station."

The driver was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He nodded on his wristband, which projected an electronic document as proof of identity for himself and the people behind him.

Lu Sheng reviewed the documents and confirmed that the family had sent fifteen people to provide support this time, eight men and seven women, all from small families that were dependent on the Lu family.

"Alright, that's your dorm over there."

After confirming the documents, he made a copy and then pointed to the dormitory building for container number one:

"Rest first. We can talk tomorrow. The conditions are limited for now, so please make do. The mattresses and bedding will be delivered in a couple of days, and the electricity will be connected."

Upon hearing this, one of the gathered young men and women asked:

"Lu Sheng, there's no mattress, no bedding, are you expecting me to sleep on the floor?"

Another person spoke up:

"Our family has dedicated generations of our lives to the Lu family, Mr. Lu, you can't mistreat us!"

The rest of the people chimed in:

"Yeah yeah."

Lu Sheng drew his revolver and fired a shot into the air, and everyone fell silent for a moment.

"You know how remote this place is. Just five days ago, a wall was built around it. How good can you expect the conditions to be?"

You don't have to sleep on the floor; there are beds. It's just that the environment is a bit harsher than your previous life.

If you really can't stand it, just apply to be transferred back yourself; I won't stop you from doing so.

The young men and women looked at each other, and finally, a girl cautiously raised her hand:

"Then... could you get us some food? We've been traveling and haven't eaten for two days."

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled, as if to confirm her words.

Looking at these people, Lu Sheng sighed and contacted Jiang Shutong through his bracelet:

"Shutong, take fifteen compressed biscuits and fifteen bottles of water and deliver them to dormitory building number one."

After giving his instructions, he gestured for them to proceed. The fifteen young men and women, supporting each other, walked toward Dormitory Building No. 1. Lu Sheng even heard a few of them whispering "thank you."

Later, Lu Sheng, Lin Ran, and Jiang Shutong returned to the folding house.

Lin Ran had been busy all day, so Lu Sheng told her to take a shower first and called Cheng Qiushui over.

"This is the family's business plan document, containing information on these fifteen people. Let's take a look together."

Lu Sheng shared the family documents with Cheng Qiushui and also looked through them himself.

After quickly reviewing the information, he realized that these fifteen people were in a similar situation to Lei Zhaowu, but without Lei Zhaowu's luck.

They are all their own second or third children, unable to inherit their parents' positions in the Lu family business, and lack the ability to make a name for themselves.

Moreover, because their family has been dependent on the Lu family for generations, they are not even allowed to leave the Lu family's sphere of influence and find a stable job in other forces.

Before coming here, I was either doing odd jobs or living off my parents.

As Lu Yuexin said, the Lu family started by relying on these small families that depended on them. Initially, the relationship between the two was that if you risked your life for me, I would ensure that you would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life.

However, as the small family grew, the Lu family no longer had enough positions to accommodate them. In order to prevent these children from becoming an enemy force, they had to be forbidden from seeking employment elsewhere.

"Boss, these guys are pretty good, much better quality than Liang Shan's team."

Cheng Qiushui then carefully read through the materials and shared her opinion.

"That's natural. No matter how harsh their living conditions are, they can't compare to those of the refugees. Moreover, they learn from their parents from a young age, so everyone has a skill, and they haven't neglected basic education."

Lu Sheng agreed with Cheng Qiushui's opinion and then asked a question:

"But what are we going to do with them?"

"Well, boss, I might need some time."

Cheng Qiushui didn't overestimate herself this time either:

"I need some time to get to know them, then categorize and organize them to determine what roles they can play in the camp."

"How long will it take?"

"No more than two days."

Lu Sheng nodded in agreement, then raised his bracelet:

"Alright, I'll leave this matter to you. There's one more thing I'd like to hear your thoughts on, regarding the next person to be awakened."

The wristband projects a virtual screen displaying the profiles of three people.

In Lu Sheng's view, these three people were all somewhat subtle, but five days had passed since Cheng Qiushui arrived, and in two more days, these people would naturally wake up.

Dealing with one more now means dealing with one less later, preventing chaos and confusion.

Looking at the three people on the screen, Cheng Qiushui pondered for a moment, then pointed to one of them:

"If I had to choose, I'd lean towards her. Qin Feng, the captain of the wilderness recovery team, is quite capable, but he doesn't belong to the camp and is unlikely to stay here indefinitely."

This person isn't quite right in the head, but if handled properly, she could be a very good weapon.

"The camp will get bigger and bigger in the future. Boss, you may not need it, but you can't be without a good knife."
