Having figured this out, Lin Xinghai no longer dwelled on it.
Although he couldn’t increase his Gun Technique proficiency at the mont, the upgrade from Basic to Interdiate Level was in itself a massive improvent.
He had now gotten the hang of how to use his Perception Power to assist his shooting.
It was a peculiar thod—not releasing his Perception Power all at once, but sending it out layer by layer, like radar waves.
Even with his currently vague Perception Power, he could achieve precise targeting after stacking multiple layers.
This ant that as long as a target was within the range covered by his Perception Power, the accuracy of his Gun Technique would see a qualitative leap.
To put it into perspective, he could now easily hit the tal spheres from Level 5 of the shooting range, even if they were half their original size.
Of course, he still couldn’t clear the level. The limiting factor wasn’t his Gun Technique, but his body’s reaction speed.
As they continued on their way, Lin Xinghai practiced releasing his Perception Power according to the thods of the Interdiate Shooting Skill.
By mastering this release thod, Lin Xinghai’s Perception Power could finally be considered truly useful.
Besides shooting, it was also excellent for scouting, especially in complex urban terrain.
After all, Perception Power could penetrate obstacles, so the more complex the terrain, the greater its utility.
Of course, using this special thod to release his Perception Power was not without its drawbacks—the consumption was particularly high.
Normally, Lin Xinghai could sustain his Perception Power at full strength for an hour without issue. But using this special thod, he could only last for about 10 minutes at most.
However, this wasn’t a major problem. He just needed to use it at critical monts.
While Lin Xinghai was contemplating his Perception Power, the Zombie Detector in the vehicle blared an alarm once more.
Hearing the alarm, everyone in the vehicle instantly tensed up, especially when they saw that the group of Zombies was located far from the main road again.
Huang Nuo kept stealing glances at Lin Xinghai from the corner of his eye. Fortunately, this ti Lin Xinghai seed to have lost interest in the Zombies and didn’t order everyone to head over.
When the vehicle drove away and the Zombie Detector stopped blaring, the others in the car all breathed a quiet sigh of relief.
Although Lin Xinghai didn’t deliberately look at them, he observed everything crystal clear with his Perception Power. He found it amusing, but also couldn’t help but feel a little exasperated.
’My public image seems to have gone a bit off the rails!’
The all-terrain vehicle continued onward. Over the next stretch, they encountered several more groups of Zombies, but unfortunately, none were conveniently on their route, so Lin Xinghai didn’t ask to go hunt them.
By now, Ling Xiu and the others were convinced that Lin Xinghai’s earlier request had just been a whim, and they finally, truly relaxed.
Finally, after driving for another 20-odd minutes, they encountered a group of Zombies near the main road.
This ti, without Lin Xinghai even having to say anything, Ling Xiu and the others began gearing up for a fight.
Lin Xinghai glanced at the Zombie Detector and said, "A total of 15 Zombies. I’ll cover you, so you can all just let loose and attack."
"Alright!"
"Thank you!"
"Haha, now we get to know what it feels like to have an expert watching our backs. It really puts your mind at ease!"
The group chattered excitedly.
But this was how they truly felt. Previously, encountering 15 Zombies, while not enough to make them panic, would have been anything but easy.
At the very least, they would never have dared to charge forward so brazenly. Instead, they would have maintained a distance of two to three hundred ters from the Zombies.
Then, Ling Xiu would use his Superpower to snipe from a distance, and only when the number of Zombies dropped to a safe level would they dare to approach.
But now, they drove openly to within a hundred ters of the zombie pack.
Of course, once they were within 100 ters, they stopped driving forward, because the pack had started charging toward them.
Ling Xiu threw open the car door, grabbed his sniper rifle, and leaped onto the roof of the vehicle.
Zhang iling and Yao Cheng also got out, each carrying a Tearing Rifle, and looked for a good firing position.
As for Huang Nuo, being the driver, he obviously couldn’t just get out. He could only roll down the window, stick his Tearing Rifle out, and aim from an awkward position.
Seeing this, Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but reflect on how much better Armored Vehicles were. They had firing ports on all sides, which was incredibly convenient.
BANG!
While he was lost in thought, Ling Xiu had already fired the first shot, accurately hitting a Zombie in the head.
The powerful kinetic energy from the sniper rifle directly caused the Zombie’s head to explode.
Ling Xiu’s shot got things off to a great start, and Huang Nuo and the others imdiately followed up with their own gunfire.
However, their Gun Technique was much worse. At a distance of 100 ters, let alone hitting a Zombie’s head, they couldn’t even guarantee a 100% hit rate on its body.
Lin Xinghai watched Huang Nuo next to him fire three consecutive shots. One hit a Zombie’s chest, another hit its arm, and the last one missed completely.
This made Lin Xinghai cringe. ’Every bullet costs Points!’
He could finally understand why High Level rcenary Corps disliked training new recruits.
"Don’t rush your shots. Aim before you fire. Also, since your Gun Technique isn’t great, wait until the Zombies are within 30 ters. It’s not too late to shoot then," Lin Xinghai couldn’t help but advise.
Hearing Lin Xinghai’s words, the others felt a little embarrassed.
It wasn’t that they didn’t understand the logic; it was just a force of habit. In their previous battles with Zombies, they had always tried to keep as much distance as possible.
Now, reminded by Lin Xinghai, they all ca to their senses. With a powerhouse like him watching their backs, they really did need to change their old habits.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Following Lin Xinghai’s instructions, Huang Nuo and the others waited until the Zombies were within 30 ters before opening fire.
As it turned out, Lin Xinghai, with his Interdiate Shooting Skill, had astute judgnt. At this range, their shooting accuracy skyrocketed.
With the three of them firing continuously, they managed to take down five Zombies in one go before the pack reached them.
As for Ling Xiu on the roof, he single-handedly took care of four Zombies.
Although only six Zombies remained, they were now within 10 ters, which was an extrely dangerous distance.
Fortunately, Lin Xinghai finally made his move. He stuck his Tearing Rifle out the window and, without even looking, pulled the trigger repeatedly.
At the sa ti, he ordered, "Cease fire. Leave one alive for ."
’Leave one alive?’ The others were stunned, not comprehending for a mont.
By the ti they snapped out of it, they saw that five Zombies had fallen. Lin Xinghai had already opened his door, gotten out of the car, and was now facing the last living Zombie with a Vibrating Dagger in hand.
They really didn’t understand. Wasn’t it much easier to just shoot the Zombie? Why did he have to engage in close-quarters combat?
Of course, they only dared to grumble about this in their hearts; they would never say it out loud.
And Lin Xinghai had no intention of telling them that he needed this Zombie to test another function of his system.
