A Fake Holy Mother in the Zombie Apocalypse

Bei Nuan regretted yelling at Shao Bai right after she did it. After all, she was asking him for a gun, and being so aggressive wasn't appropriate.

Unexpectedly, after being barked at by Bei Nuan, Shao Bai stared at her for two seconds, and then a suspicious blush crept up the half of his face visible beneath his tactical goggles.

He avoided Bei Nuan's gaze, handed her the rifle, and gave her a few loaded magazines. He asked in a low voice, "Are five enough?"

Bei Nuan thought to herself, He gave me the gun so readily, probably because the horde is almost here.

At the end of the road, a horde of zombies surged forward, heading their way. From afar, they could almost hear their guttural growls.

Shao Bai quickly demonstrated how to load the magazine and adjust the rear sight, then added, "We didn't bring much ammo this time, so try to conserve it."

Bei Nuan agreed, took the gun, and happily examined it.

This gun had no stock and was much shorter than the rifles Bei Nuan had used during military training. It felt much lighter and more compact in her hands.

Shao Bai still had one gun left.

Jiang Fei reached out. "Give it to me. I know how to use it."

He had seen Bei Nuan longingly eyeing the gun and hadn't tried to compete with her for it. Now that Bei Nuan had one, he took the remaining gun from Shao Bai and also asked for a few magazines.

Bei Nuan and the others were assigned positions behind a jeep, not far from Shao Bai and the others behind the large tree.

As Bei Nuan's group received their weapons, the people by the tree had already begun sporadic firing.

Bei Nuan thought to herself, Shao Bai's group are regular soldiers; their combat effectiveness must be very strong. If I don't hurry and grab a gun, there probably won't be any fun left for me.

Lu Xingchi, as usual, raised his crossbow but didn't rush. Just like his previous low-profile approach, he took his time, occasionally killing a zombie, matching the rhythm of Shao Bai's group's gunfire.

Jiang Fei had already expertly shouldered the rifle, assumed a shooting stance, and prepared to fire.

This man was not only proficient with knives but also familiar with firearms. Bei Nuan wondered what he had experienced before the events of this book.

Sometimes, Du Ruo and the others would ask Jiang Fei about his past, but he always vaguely brushed it off, neither lying to them nor revealing any details.

Bei Nuan imitated his posture and shouldered the rifle.

Then, she aimed at the zombie at the forefront of the horde at the end of the road and fired.

The shot seemed to hit; Bei Nuan saw the zombie falter for a moment before continuing to lunge forward with a howl.

It didn't hit the head.

Bei Nuan felt that the auto-aim function didn't seem to be working.

Could it be that this ability isn't activated as soon as you fire?

She pulled up the task interface and searched carefully. Finally, below the Saintess Point progress bar, where it had previously been empty, she found a newly appeared red dot.

Bei Nuan glanced at it, and as expected, it popped up the words "Auto-Aim."

How does this work?

Bei Nuan mentally clicked the small red dot. It immediately turned green, and the number "1" appeared in the middle, along with the word "Lock."

Then, a miracle happened.

Bei Nuan saw a glowing line extending from the muzzle of the rifle in her hand, reaching far into the distance.

Moreover, as long as Bei Nuan moved the rifle, the trajectory of this line would change accordingly.

It was very obvious; it was a ballistic trajectory.

"Auto-Aim" had calculated the trajectory of the bullet that would result from Bei Nuan firing in her current state.

It was incredibly useful.

Bei Nuan stealthily glanced at Jiang Fei and Du Ruo beside her.

They didn't react at all, clearly unable to see the glowing line that had appeared on Bei Nuan's gun.

Relieved, Bei Nuan followed the guidance of the line, trying to place its endpoint on the head of the farthest zombie within her sight, and pulled the trigger.

However, she still missed the head.

At the moment she pulled the trigger, the gun must have jerked. At this distance, even with the glowing line, it was still difficult to hit the target.

Bei Nuan stared at the task interface for a moment and suddenly understood how to use this function.

When aiming the trajectory line at a zombie's head again, Bei Nuan mentally clicked the word "Lock" after the small dot.

This time, the trajectory stuck to the zombie's head like glue. No matter how the zombie moved, the line wouldn't stray.

This is the correct way to use it.

Bei Nuan pulled the trigger, and the zombie fell with a single shot. A perfect hit.

Bei Nuan tried a few more shots, and none of them missed.

Xiao San was absolutely right. Bei Nuan could now hit any target she aimed at, instantly transformed into a sharpshooter.

Holding the gun, Bei Nuan continued to ponder. What did the "1" on the green dot mean?

With a "1," could there be a "2"?

Bei Nuan used her mind to click the small green dot again. As expected, the dot remained green, but the number changed from "1" to "2."

As the number on the dot changed, the glowing ballistic trajectory that had extended from the muzzle disappeared.

At the same time, the zombie that Bei Nuan's gun was pointed at suddenly began emitting a dazzling light from the top of its head, as if it had suddenly achieved enlightenment.

Bei Nuan: "…"

Bei Nuan pulled the trigger and fired a test shot. The enlightened zombie fell with a thud.

Bei Nuan shifted her aim slightly, and the zombie next to it also became enlightened.

As the muzzle swept across, the heads of a whole group of zombies lit up one after another.

Bei Nuan deliberately raised the muzzle, aiming above the zombie's head and pulled the trigger. The glowing zombie still fell.

Bei Nuan then lowered the muzzle, aimed at the zombie's stomach, and fired. The glowing zombie was still headshot.

Bei Nuan understood now. This function was true auto-lock.

It could automatically lock onto heads near the direction of the muzzle, mark them with a glow, and then, regardless of where the muzzle was aimed, correct the trajectory itself to ensure every shot was a headshot.

Since zombies could only be killed by headshots, this function was perfect for dealing with them.

The previous mode "1" was a point-and-shoot function. As long as you aimed the trajectory line at the desired location and locked on, the bullet would fly towards the locked location.

Mode "2," on the other hand, was truly a must-have for home and travel zombie slaying. It was incredibly effortless; you could practically close your eyes and not worry, as the gun would aim for their heads on its own.

Bei Nuan thought for a moment and turned the gun towards Jiang Fei next to her.

Jiang Fei's head also lit up.

Jiang Fei turned his head and smiled at her, then continued to seriously shoot zombies, as if it wasn't a gun pointed at him.

Bei Nuan then pointed the gun at Du Ruo, and Du Ruo's head also lit up.

The shining light was quite dazzling and pretty.

Du Ruo protested, feeling wronged, "Why are you pointing a gun at me?"

"Oh," Bei Nuan said, "I wanted to look back at you, but I forgot I was holding a gun."

Du Ruo was speechless. "Not bad. You haven't forgotten that your finger is on the trigger and didn't accidentally shoot me."

Bei Nuan smiled apologetically at him, turned the gun around, and went back to shooting zombies.

She thought to herself, This auto-aim function treats people and zombies equally, without any bias.

Bei Nuan tried pressing the small dot with the number on it, and the number jumped back to "1." She pressed it a few more times, and the number kept switching between "1" and "2." It seemed there were only these two modes.

Bei Nuan's mind wandered, but her hands continued to eliminate zombies one by one.

This cheat is simply amazing.

Lu Xingchi was the first to notice the anomaly and turned to look at Bei Nuan thoughtfully.

It was easy to guess. He must have wanted to help Bei Nuan control the bullets, but then he discovered that the bullets were flying incredibly accurately, requiring no intervention from him.

"How did you suddenly become a sharpshooter?" he asked.

Bei Nuan replied confidently, "I've used guns so many times now, do you know what a breakthrough is? It's like suddenly the void shatters, the earth settles, and you grasp the profound meaning of the entire world – that's my current state."

Lu Xingchi smiled, not surprised at all, as if he had seen her do even more incredible things. He didn't question her further.

Lu Xingchi simply said, "If you suddenly lose your grasp of the world's profound meaning, just call me to help you."

Bei Nuan thought to herself, I won't need it. This new skill doesn't have a timer; it's permanent.

Using the head-glowing mode was too easy and not very interesting. Bei Nuan switched to the trajectory display mode, sometimes locking on, sometimes not, carefully aiming with reference to the trajectory, killing zombies one after another.

Soon, she had used up all the extra magazines Shao Bai had given her and casually grabbed Jiang Fei's magazines to continue.

Not long after, Bei Nuan suddenly realized that it had become quiet behind her.

Having just taken down the last zombie charging towards her, Bei Nuan turned around.

She found that the zombies that had attacked from behind had already been dealt with, and everyone was looking at her.

Just now, everyone had been dealing with the zombies that had suddenly appeared behind them, and no one had time to care about the main road.

As a result, Bei Nuan, alone, with a single gun, facing the surging tide of zombies, had held the entire road.

Without any help from anyone.

And everyone had seen it. Every shot hit, every shot a headshot, not a single precious bullet wasted.

Even more incredible was the speed, incredibly fast, shot after shot, without any pause, smooth and flowing.

Even Shao Bai, with all his experience, in the Federal Army, even in the elite troops that often ventured deep into infected zones, had never seen anyone with such terrifying combat power.

Especially not from a small girl who looked so soft and weak.

Looking at the zombies scattered across the road, no one could speak.

Bei Nuan smiled at them, lowered her gun, and raised her hand to rub her eyes.

Du Ruo asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"Oh," Bei Nuan replied sincerely, "The design of this gun is a bit flawed. The smoke it emits irritates my eyes. I feel like I'm about to cry."
