Yu Yuan hadn't expected it.

Someone actually dared to steal from the Burning Fortress, not only succeeded, but also escaped to Green Forest City.

"No wonder in the previous intelligence, there was no mention of Flame Priests participating in transactions with the Thug Prison. The Flame Priest was probably chasing after those raiders and happened to encounter the transaction with the Thug Prison, so he came to make an appearance."

Yu Yuan deduced the course of events in his mind.

Although he was also very curious about what those people had stolen from the Burning Fortress.

But searching for a few people who could hide anywhere in the vast neighborhoods - Yu Yuan wasn't that desperate yet.

Yu Yuan neatly stored all the firearms and equipment in the warehouse, especially the Flame Priest Robe, which he specifically wrapped in a long piece of cloth.

Then he looked at the neatly arranged firearms. The FN FAL Assault Rifle was damaged, and although he had another one, the 7.62×51mm ammunition had been completely depleted during the battle with the Giant Mutant Rat. Yu Yuan needed to find a new weapon.

His gaze swept over the MP5 Submachine Gun, the Remington 870 Shotgun, and finally settled on the AK-12.

Unlike the fragile flesh of humans, to deal with the threat of the Giant Mutant Rat, bullet power and penetration were now Yu Yuan's top priorities.

Although the MP5 Submachine Gun used 9×19mm caliber bullets, which were larger than the AK-12's 5.45×39mm, there was a world of difference in the propellant charge.

The penetration power when the bullet fired was also significantly inferior.

Of course, the most important thing was...

Yu Yuan picked up a 5.45×39mm bullet, looking at the purple and green color on the bullet tip, his eyes narrowing.

【5.45×39mm 7N10 (PP Bullet)】

Introduction: Although this is a reloaded bullet, don't underestimate it.

Type: Bullet

Ricochet Rate: 38%

Penetration: Medium

Failure to Feed Probability: Low

Failure to Fire Probability: Low

"Just 7N10? Not even 7N10M!" Yu Yuan murmured to himself.

Although 7N10 was an enhanced penetration rifle bullet, its performance was still somewhat inferior to the second-generation bullet developed later, the 7N10M.

Not to mention the versions that came after.

Even so, as an enhanced penetration version of the standard steel-core bullet, the 7N10's penetration power was already the strongest among all the ammunition he currently possessed.

Even the penetration power of the previous FN FAL Assault Rifle bullets couldn't compare to the PP bullet. After all, comparing FMJ bullets with PP bullets in terms of penetration was somewhat unfair.

Since FMJ bullets couldn't penetrate the Giant Mutant Rat's fur, Yu Yuan could only try the 7N10 bullet.

However, he was somewhat concerned. While 7N10 had strong penetration against high-hardness armor like ballistic plates, its effectiveness against the Giant Mutant Rat's soft fur was hard to determine.

But he didn't have any other choices right now anyway.

After loading the 5.45×39mm 7N10 bullets into the magazine, Yu Yuan took the AK-12 to the civil defense shelter level and entered a passage. At the end of the passage, there was already a steel plate.

This was the shooting range where Yu Yuan had previously practiced with weapons.

Raising the gun and aiming, after briefly holding his breath.

Bang bang bang... Ding ding ding...

Gunshots echoed in the passage, accompanied by the sound of the steel plate being hit.

But the sounds quickly stopped. Yu Yuan grimaced and shook his head.

"No good, I need to find a way to get some noise-canceling headphones!"

He had noticed this problem before when shooting in the sewer.

In the confined environment of the passage, the gunshots were greatly amplified, loud enough to make his eardrums ache.

Approaching the steel plate and looking at the clearly dented bullet holes, Yu Yuan smiled.

Not bad!

Returning to the shelter, after preparing the AK-12, spare magazines, and spare ammunition.

The Level 2 【Workbench】 had also completed its upgrade.

On the doubled-sized desktop, a reloading press appeared, with an electronic scale placed beside it.

Yu Yuan's eyes lit up. He looked at the reloading press, operating the pressing lever with evident excitement.

"Is this for reloading bullets?"

Sure enough, the workbench's crafting list now included a bullet crafting directory. As long as he had materials like gunpowder, casings or brass, steel, etc., he could craft corresponding bullets. However, the production speed of one bullet per minute was really quite slow.

"Maybe after the workbench upgrades further, there will be improvements!"

But for now, he still had plenty of ammunition reserves, so there was no urgent need for crafting.

Additionally, the list now included a 【Hide Tanning】 option, which made Yu Yuan quite pleased.

With this, all the loot from yesterday's operation had been completely organized.

To be honest, it was really mentally exhausting. Organizing loot was indeed satisfying, but it was also truly tiring. Still, he could say he was tired but happy.

Checking the time, it was already close to 5 PM. In about two more hours, night would fall.

Yu Yuan walked to the Dilapidated Newspaper Rack to check today's refreshed newspaper. Seeing that no additional intelligence items had appeared, he felt a little disappointed.

However, the news in the newspaper made Yu Yuan's gaze sharpen.

At 2:13 AM today, in a residence at 78 Spuler Street, District 11, a scavenger was brutally murdered.

According to our reporter's investigation, this scavenger had previously killed 7 survivors, assaulted 8 people (3 women, 5 men), and tortured 3 people to death - a long list of crimes.

When the scavenger died, his wrist tendons and ankle tendons had been severed, along with his fifth limb. His hands were tied behind his back, and he was kneeling in a penitent posture. The murderer cut the scavenger's carotid artery, then inserted the weapon into the scavenger's heart area, with a strong sense of religious ritual.

On the floor in front of the scavenger, there was an arrow drawn in blood, with a line of text written at the end.

— Sinner, go to hell to repent!
