"Newcomer Gift Pack? Damn~"
Looks like this damned system still has some sympathy for a liberal arts student like me, after all, it didn't have the heart to send me to strangle 749 mutated aunties barehanded!
"Claim, claim!"
Gu Chengyuan was a bit impatient.
Ding, Host Newcomer Gift Pack successfully claimed!
The host has received the following items:
Great Xia Elite Infantry Squad x1
Captain's Supply Crate x1
Please choose a deployment location!
As soon as the mechanical voice finished, a movable virtual block appeared before Gu Chengyuan, about half the size of a basketball court, like a preset shadow in a placement game.
"Elite Infantry Squad? Damn, System Master, I admit I was a bit loud with my complaints earlier!"
This would require me to strangle 1,499 zombies barehanded and survive to have, right? 1,499! Damn it, I'd have to strangle out zombie babies!
Gu Chengyuan controlled the preset shadow in his vision with his mind, moving it towards the highway, and like a claw machine, aligned it in third-person view, then softly called out:
"Deploy!"
As soon as he spoke, the air at the preset deployment point twisted slightly.
Like the calm surface of water being gently stirred, a steel beast painted in jungle digital camouflage appeared out of thin air.
Mengshi 3 Armored Assault Vehicle!
When Gu Chengyuan locked his gaze on this armored vehicle, its name and information automatically appeared in his vision.

Looking at the data floating before him, Gu Chengyuan felt enveloped by a sense of security!
This damn thing is practically a small fortress with a speed of 120km/h! With a weight of eight tons, what could possibly overturn it...
Forget it, better not jinx it.
Clack~
The unique sound of a mechanical lock echoed.
All five doors of the vehicle opened, and a team of fully armed soldiers in summer combat uniforms jumped out in various poses, jogging to stand by the side of the armored assault vehicle.
A soldier stood at the front of the line and shouted:
"Count off!"
1!
2!
3!
Hearing the robust and powerful count-off from the soldiers in front of him, Gu Chengyuan was startled and quickly waved his hand to stop them.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
If he let this squad continue counting off, they'd attract all the surrounding zombies, and soon they'd be counting into the hundreds.
Seeing the soldiers in front of him stop and look at him with some confusion, Gu Chengyuan cleared his throat and spoke:
"These are extraordinary times, soldiers must stay hidden, etiquette and manners are important, but so is the occasion!"
"Are you their Squad Leader? What's your name?"
Gu Chengyuan looked at the tall, slightly chubby soldier with a black-red face who had organized the count-off.
The soldier saluted with a rifle and replied in a normal volume:
"Reporting to the Commander, my name is Jia Sanniu, rank Staff Sergeant, Squad Leader of Elite Infantry Squad 1!"
"Good, Squad Leader Jia, introduce your squad's firepower configuration!"
"Yes, Commander!"
"Our squad consists of 12 members, three riflemen equipped with QBZ-191 Assault Rifles with QMK-171 White-Light Scopes (3x)."
"Three snipers, equipped respectively with 7.62mm Precision Sniper Rifles with 32x scopes, Type 10 12.7mm Anti-Materiel Sniper Rifles with aiming aids, and 191 Designated Marksman Rifles with QMK-171 White-Light Scopes!"
"One machine gunner, equipped with a 5.8mm QJB-201 Squad Machine Gun with a QMK-171 White-Light Scope."
"One grenadier equipped with a QLU-131 35mm Grenade Launcher with an electro-optical sight."
"Two submachine gunners, equipped with QCQ-171 Submachine Guns, and two close-quarters combat specialists, equipped with QCQ-171 Submachine Guns."
"Two shotgun specialists, equipped with 18.4mm caliber Type 09 Shotguns."
Listening to Jia Sanniu's report, Gu Chengyuan couldn't help but grin as he looked at the soldiers' diverse array of weapons, especially the few with particularly large barrels.
"12.7mm, 35mm, damn!"
With his military service experience, Gu Chengyuan wasn't naive; these dry caliber numbers represented absolute power!
Just that 12.7 caliber anti-materiel sniper could shatter a half-meter thick wall from 1500 meters away, what carbon-based lifeform could withstand that? Even a ghost would be obliterated by a single shot!
Not to mention the 35mm grenade launcher, though he hadn't heard of this model and it wasn't produced by Great Zhou, a grenade launcher of the same caliber could create a 30-square-meter damage radius from 1500 meters!
One shot, one household registration book!
"Firepower configuration report complete! Awaiting your orders, Commander!"
After Jia Sanniu saluted, the entire Elite Infantry Squad stood at attention, weapons in hand, looking at Gu Chengyuan with bright eyes and upright posture.
"Very good, everyone's morale is high!"
A quick look at will leave you more fulfilled.
"Jia Sanniu!"
"Here!"
"Where's my equipment crate? Take me to it."
"Reporting to the Commander, your equipment crate is inside the vehicle!"
"Deputy Squad Leader Huang Jiaqi, you will now lead the squad in maintaining vigilance!"
A dark-faced, big-headed man stepped forward from the ranks upon receiving the order.
"Yes!"
"All units, maintain vigilance! Deploy immediately!"
With that, under Deputy Squad Leader Huang Jiaqi's lead, the remaining 11 members of Elite Infantry Squad 1 quickly formed into three combat teams, spreading out 100 meters in different directions from the armored assault vehicle to find advantageous positions for vigilance.
The remaining two soldiers stood at the front and back of the assault vehicle, holding Type 09 Shotguns for mobile vigilance.
Inside the vehicle, Gu Chengyuan watched this well-trained scene unfold and suddenly felt a surge of confidence, as if no zombie in the world could defeat him!
The interior space of the Mengshi 3 Assault Vehicle was quite large, especially with a distance of over two meters, creating ample space between seats.
Gu Chengyuan's equipment crate was stacked in the middle, two black boxes, one about the size of a 50-inch suitcase, made of wood, labeled as an armory crate, and the other slightly smaller, labeled as an equipment crate.
Gu Chengyuan first opened the equipment crate on top, quickly rifling through it to find summer training uniforms, winter training uniforms, spring and autumn regular uniforms, insignia clothing, and more.
He took out a set of summer combat uniforms and desert combat boots, attached the insignia clothing, and began changing.
The combat uniform fabric was very comfortable, cool and smooth against the skin, lightweight, and breathable. The tactical gloves exposed five long fingers and fit perfectly, not hindering movement at all.
Most importantly, the soft insignia with three gold stars on the collar, representing the Captain rank, shone brightly, adding even more flair to the already dashing military uniform!
At 182 cm tall, Gu Chengyuan's body proportions were already perfect, his well-toned muscles filling out the combat uniform, making him appear even more upright and resolute.
If the apocalypse hadn't erupted, just based on his appearance and demeanor, readers would have to avoid his sharpness!
He then opened the armory crate, revealing a Xingkong Body Armor with detachable bulletproof plates. Gu Chengyuan donned it, then began inserting bullet-filled magazines from the crate into the magazine pouches.
Four magazines, four grenades, a canteen, and a gas mask were all placed in their respective spots.
Gu Chengyuan continued by taking out a handgun, checking to ensure the safety was on, then securing it with a lanyard and placing it in the thigh holster, simultaneously sheathing the military bayonet in the adjacent knife pouch.
Finally, he took out a rifle he had never seen before, different from any rifle in Great Zhou or this world.
QBZ-191 Assault Rifle
At first glance, Gu Chengyuan had only one thought: it looked cool!
As a fan of aesthetics, Gu Chengyuan firmly believed that appearance is combat power!
Any weapon that didn't conform to aesthetic standards couldn't be strong!
This rifle was equipped with a 3x QMK-171 White-Light Scope, just like the others, but unlike the other soldiers, Gu Chengyuan's rifle also had a laser sight and a transparent red dot sight mounted on the side.
From this, it was clear that the system had equipped the host with all the attachments to ensure accurate shooting!
After a brief familiarization, confirming he could use it correctly, Gu Chengyuan slung the rifle over his neck and began contemplating his next move.
He was no longer the naive young man who could only strangle zombies barehanded; his next plans should be adjusted based on his new capabilities!
