Chapter 67 Going to the Grand Canyon

However, reality was very different from Cheng Bin's expectations. The night was very quiet. It was not the one in the novel that was speechless in order to avoid losing contact, but that nothing really happened.

After dawn, the first ray of sunlight shone into the bunker, Cheng Bin slowly opened his eyes. He didn't sleep well last night. On the one hand, he was worried about enemies that might appear at any time. On the other hand, Rebecca was very dishonest when he was sleeping, maybe because he felt cold. She kept hiking into Cheng Bin's arms in the second half of the night, which made Cheng Bin feel miserable and quickly overturned the idea that when he was teaching Rebecca to learn guns while sleeping, he thought it was also good to have a female apprentice.

The opposite of Cheng Bin, Rebecca slept quite well that night. Cheng Bin felt that the child was so heartless. He could sleep with a man he had only known for a few days, and he was completely lacking in whipping from reality.

He gently pushed Rebecca away, who wanted to sleep back, got up and covered the blanket carefully on Rebecca's body, jumped out of his chest, and heard Rebecca's confused voice from behind him.

"Are you going to the bathroom?" she asked.

"That's right." Cheng Bin said vaguely, turned around and picked up the rifle behind his chest, and walked towards the hillside.

The traps he set up yesterday were all there, and there were no signs of triggering, and there were no signs of human activity nearby. Instead, a wild beast left footprints next to a thunderbolt. I don’t know if he felt the danger, but it finally left.

Cheng Bin took back the thunder, squatted on the hillside and stared at the off-road vehicle for a while, feeling vaguely that he seemed to have made something wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

This feeling is very bad, as if you know that you are in danger but you have no idea where the danger will come from. You feel empty and have no support.

After breakfast, Cheng Bin simply didn't rush to go on the road and took Rebecca to practice the pistol for a while. The ssg could not be used before without the scope. The m16 was too difficult for Rebecca to master, so if you want to improve her actual combat level, you can only work on the pistol.

Rebecca learned very quickly. When he learned guns with Uncle Potato the day before yesterday, he didn't get anything. At least he remembered all the basic knowledge.

This made Cheng Bin feel a little strange. He had known that Uncle Tudou had good tactical qualities, but he was different from teaching others. Uncle Tudou had good expression skills and made clear all the requirements, at least Xiaoli really understood it.

After dozens of bullets, the nine-mm bullets Cheng Bin got when he rescued Isabel were almost exhausted. Rebecca's grades were good. After more than a dozen bullets, he would not be off the target after hitting a 10-meter chest target. As for the actual combat effect, it is hard to say. This is closely related to the psychological quality in the war. Even if Glock's recoil is relatively small, as long as the shooting movement is slightly changed, the bullets will not know where they will fly.

After getting into the car, Rebecca seemed to be a little impressed. Buchengbin felt that today's practice was enough. First, there were not many pistol bullets left, and second, Rebecca's wrist strength was limited, so it would be easy to get injured if she continued to practice.

Speaking of this, the wound on Cheng Bin’s knee has now scabbed, but he seems to be completely ignored when he is acting, so the wound that has already scabbed is always torn, and then blood seeps out of the wound, which has obvious visual effect.

"When will I be able to practice the same shooting technique as you?" Rebecca sat in the car and said to Cheng Bin excitedly.

She had no chance to see Cheng Bin draw a gun, but when she was practicing shooting skills, she saw Cheng Bin's demonstration movements. Cheng Bin's performance of shooting with his hands and shooting perfectly made Rebecca envious. In her words, it was like the bullets shot by Cheng Bin would find the target by himself, and he could hit the target no matter how he hit it.

Cheng Bin smiled and did not answer the question. It was not until Rebecca asked again that he said, "Do you know how many bullets were fired today?"

"Are you more than thirty rounds?" Rebecca had a good memory and began to calculate how many times he had changed the magazine. Because the magazine capacity was certain, the number of bullets shot can be easily calculated through this.

Cheng Bin didn't wait for her to get the result, and he said, "If you have talent in this area, about 5,000 shots will be enough."

Rebecca was startled and looked at Cheng Bin in surprise and asked, "Then how many bullets did you use?"

Cheng Bin laughed loudly and said, "I?" He curled his lips, "I have never calculated it. At that time, each of us carried a box of bullets and was not allowed to eat if we could not finish it."

He had a look of nostalgia on his face and said softly: "You would never imagine how painful it would be to have too many bullets to be fired."

The Grand Canyon is in the southeast of the wasteland. Geographically speaking, it no longer belongs to the wasteland. Outside the canyon is the Great Lakes area, which is the main grain-producing area of ​​the United Kingdom. A large part of the food in the two cities and three towns on the wasteland comes from here.

In the war in the prehistoric era, the wasteland was hit by a considerable number of nuclear strikes, filled with nuclear radiation of different intensity. However, the peaks on both sides of the Grand Canyon blocked most of the radioactive material, and in fact formed a passage to enter and exit the wasteland. If there was no such passage, to leave the wasteland, in addition to taking a high-altitude airship, you could only take a boat from the sea to the east. Not only was the distance long, the risk at sea was no smaller than passing through the radiation area.

Cheng Bin had known about the existence of the Grand Canyon for a long time, but he had never been there. This made them take some detours, and it was about afternoon that they found the road leading to the canyon along a mountain range.

This is a urgent road, at least the part exposed on the surface is not of high construction level. Rebecca accidentally saw it in the book. It is said that this road was built in the United Kingdom. At that time, its main purpose was to transport out the x-energy crystals produced on the wasteland.

However, shortly after the completion of this highway, the high-altitude airship technology matured and put into use, so the relatively low-efficiency highway was abandoned.

Of course, the so-called abandonment here only refers to the United Kingdom. At least the two cities and three towns on the wasteland have to rely on this road to transport supplies. Sod and Woodpecker Company will also transport some low-value-added items through this company and use airships to transport very unprofitable items.

After finding the highway, it was natural to reach the canyon. Cheng Bin soon discovered that although the highway was simple, there should be signs. He even saw the "50km/h" speed limit sign on a sign that had been weathered so much that the handwriting on it could not be seen.

"I didn't expect the United Kingdom to still use metric units." Cheng Bin said.

When he was with Isabel, Cheng Bin noticed that Isabel was used to using English units, so Cheng Bin felt that in addition to ordinary people who were not used to using standard units of measurement, the United Kingdom officials should be more accustomed to using English units.

Rebecca obviously hadn't noticed this issue before. She thought about it for a while before saying: "It should be used together with the imperial system."

"Will that not be confused?" Cheng Bin asked.

Rebecca shook her head blankly, obviously she didn't know the meaning of the question.

After getting on the road, the person driving the off-road vehicle became Rebecca. Although the little girl was a head shorter than Cheng Bin, she had long legs, which was used to step on the accelerator and brakes without even needing to adjust the height of the seat.

Before she could see the entrance to the canyon, a woman waving appeared on the road ahead. A car was parked under the road behind her, and it seemed that she was seeking help.
