Chapter 159: Planning
This time, he only has plans to take the Phantom Druid, and he will also call Alex’s group.
It was not his confidence, but first he wants to assess the current situation, and then he will start a big war.
He also decided to give the gun to Divya and Anjali, and if he found more, he would give it to Sophia. And where he got another gun, so he was temporarily taken from Alex.
But since all Druids were here, he wasn’t worried about them.
He put away his own weapon and then summoned his members to come forward together.
Under their astonished gazes, Vikram unreservedly handed the one firearm to Divya, another to Anjali.
The desert eagle’s cool design and larger size compared to other handguns made them look like small cannons in their hands.
Those unfamiliar with this weapon might even think it was delicate.
In reality, most people couldn’t even hold it steady with one hand, let alone fire it.
Fortunately, their current physiques were enough to compensate for this, so he felt confident in letting them use it.
At the same time, in the mall, he exchanged 40.50 caliber bullets at a one-to-one ratio and handed them to them.
Finally, he slowly spoke, "You must keep these weapons safe; don’t let them go off by accident. This is no joke; they are very powerful."
Divya was shocked but remained silent.
Anjali wanted to ask, but remembering the previous warning, she ultimately chose to give up.
What was on her mind turned into, "Are we going to fight someone?"
He nodded, choosing to tell them directly, "This gun is for your self-defense."
"When the disaster ends, I’m going to settle accounts with the Savage Wolf Shelter." His tone was flat, as if he wasn’t afraid at all.
"You, alone, going to settle accounts with dozens of people at the Savage Wolf Shelter? That won’t do; it’s too dangerous." Divya immediately spoke up to stop him.
Although they all detested the Savage Wolf Shelter, they also knew it wasn’t something they could deal with right now.
"No, I am going to take Phantom Druid with me."
"Only one Druid, why not others?" Divya asked.
"First I will assess the situation, and then I will start the war, so for currently, Phantom Druid was good," Vikram told them.
Hearing this both Divya and Anjali nodded.
Afterward, Vikram led the three of them outdoors.
"What’s going on, Vikram? The disaster is far from over. Why are we coming out for no reason?" Anjali shivered as she walked along the hidden corridor outside the Shelter.
Beside her were Divya and Vikram, who also felt the cold.
"What else? Of course, I’m taking you to practice shooting! Did you really think you’d know how to use a weapon just by holding it?"
After coming out in Territory 2, Vikram casually took out a small piece of metal from his bag and placed them at the back of the space.
At the same time, he lit a bonfire next to them. The firelight, while dispelling some of the cold, also illuminated the interior space.
"Conditions are limited, so we’ll have to make do," he said, pointing to the metal pieces he had just arranged, signaling for them to use them as targets for shooting.
He also handed them a large pile of bullets.
These bullets, of course, were not normal bullets, but blank rounds specifically for training.
He gave them a look, signaling for them to begin.
"Bang! Bang!" Soon, two loud gunshots echoed in the enclosed space.
Accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, the four of them felt their heads ringing.
This was Vikram’s oversight; due to their lack of shooting experience, the sound of the firearms had an impact on them.
Especially Anjali, who immediately dropped her gun on the ground, covering her ears, looking distressed.
Even Vikram, who hadn’t fired, felt his heart pound. At such close range, it was no wonder Anjali had even dropped her gun.
"Are you alright?" He asked softly.
She squatted on the ground and shook her head.
Vikram gently moved her hands away from her ears and carefully checked. Seeing no blood in her ears, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, her eardrums weren’t ruptured." He patted Anjali, and seeing her complexion gradually regain some color, he knew there was no serious harm.
Then, he turned to look at Divya. Her tolerance was clearly stronger than Anjali’s, but her face was also pale. "And you? How do you feel?"
Divya took a deep breath and forced a smile, "I’m fine, just a little ringing in my ears. It’ll be gone in a bit."
Fortunately, neither of them was seriously injured. After he traded for four pairs of protective earmuffs from the market, shooting practice began again.
The bullets fired by the two earlier had, as expected, all missed the target.
The absence of bullet marks on the metal also proved this point.
One must know that they were only about ten meters away from the metal blocks at this moment.
If they couldn’t hit the target at such a close distance, then getting the gun was pointless.
Vikram himself wasn’t in a hurry, he had plenty of time to reach them.
He then demonstrated by firing it.
"Bang!" After putting on the protective earmuffs, the powerful impact sound was greatly reduced.
The three of them were not affected again.
At the same time, the result was also very satisfying to Vikram.
A not-so-obvious bullet mark was left on the iron block.
And it was a bullseye. Even at close range, this position was enough to deal with enemies.
Seeing that he had no problems after using the Skill Book, he immediately looked at the two of them.
Seeing their surprised gazes, he felt proud, even his chest struck out a little. But still he stay a little humble.
"You don’t have to look at me like that. I’ve had a handgun before, so it’s normal for me to shoot accurately."
"As long as you practice a little, it’s very easy to hit a target about ten meters away." He gave them an encouraging look.
Vikram stepped closer and adjusted their shooting stances.
With his previous practice, he can easily shoot, and also went into good postures. Simply adjusting their postures casually made them look much better.
As for a target about ten meters away, any normal person could naturally master it after firing a couple more shots; it really wasn’t difficult.
Originally, a handgun with high recoil like a desert eagle wasn’t very suitable for beginners like them.
But their physique was there; even holding it with one hand, the recoil couldn’t affect them at all.
So, at close range, the recoil issue was irrelevant.
Indeed, after adjusting their postures, their shooting quickly made significant progress.
The most outstanding was Divya; on just her second shot, she hit the ten-meter target.
"What?!"
"Little Divya, you really have some talent." Vikram clapped.
Facing his praise, Divya coolly made a gesture of blowing smoke from the gun barrel.
In the empty and not-so-bright space, coupled with this action, half of her face was covered by shadow, appearing very dashing and charming.
Just as he was still admiring the sight, Anjali next to him had already fired several bullets in a row.
It was as if bullets were free, not even aiming, just shooting wildly.
"No, is that right?"
"Who taught you to do it like that?" He lightly slapped the back of the idiot’s head, speechless.
"Hehe, am I cool?" Facing the question, Anjali also struck the pose of blowing on the gun barrel and even winked at him.
"Cool, my foot! Shoot properly, don’t waste bullets, or you’ll never get to hold this gun again." He gave her another flick on the head, scolding her.
Facing Anjali’s way of shooting, he seriously considered whether he should get the gun for her.
Wasting bullets was one thing, but if this little fool got addicted and tore down the house, that would be a real disaster.
Unexpectedly, she was just playing around earlier. Seeing Vikram look down on her, she immediately held the gun with one hand and pulled the trigger.
"Ping!" The crisp sound of the bullet hitting metal came from the front.
In Vikram’s astonished gaze, Anjali even twirled the desert eagle on her index finger a few times.
"You’ve all practiced?"
Then he thought it was impossible; their reactions when they shot earlier didn’t seem like people who frequently handled guns.
"No, isn’t hitting this little toy a piece of cake?"
"The games I used to play were much harder than this thing."
"Damn it, she really showed off." Seeing Anjali’s nonchalant demeanor, Vikram was furious.
"So, I’m the only clown, right?" he thought.
"Alright, alright, there are only so many bullets on the ground. You two go practice shooting. I’m going back to the room first."
His good mood had been ruined, and he had no desire to stay here.
It seemed they didn’t need any other help, so he might as well let them do whatever they wanted... While he hold Sophia and went inside to freshen up.
