Although Anning told everyone that Wang Xiuying had a question she wanted to ask her, the military wives still continued to give her instructions, not entirely reassured:

"Then you still need to be careful. She's always had her eye on the house you live in. Now that she's tried to steal it, she's gotten herself involved with her own man. She might come up with some extreme ideas."

"Yeah, look at her eyes, they're really creepy!"

An Ning smiled and agreed to everything, but on her way back, she still had no intention of talking to Wang Xiuying. When she passed by her, she simply walked past.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Wang Xiuying almost couldn't help but call out to her, but for some reason, she ultimately didn't speak.

Since that's the case, An Ning will ignore her and see how long she can endure it.

Finally, Anning heard footsteps quicken behind her, rushing towards her, while a voice calling out from ahead.

"Sister-in-law, you're back!"

Yan Fei appeared outside her residence once again.

The footsteps behind them stopped and went in another direction.

"What are you doing?"

Tell An Ning directly that Yan Fei came because of the blueprints she had given to him before.

As expected, Yan Fei invited An Ning to Li Bowen's house, and An Ning agreed after thinking about it.

When I arrived at Li Bowen's house, he was still sitting in the same spot as before, looking at some document whose contents I couldn't identify.

"Comrade Anning, please sit down."

Upon seeing An Ning enter, Li Bowen stood up to greet her, and Yan Fei went to serve tea and water.

"Comrade Anning has given me a wonderful surprise this time!"

He was still agonizing over how to give her credit for the stun gun she had made, but before long, she had produced a multi-functional bayonet.

The troops are currently equipped with the Type 63 bayonet, which uses a triangular scraper design, but its overall function is still limited to bayonet fighting.

However, the form of warfare in this era has gradually shifted towards long-range strikes and mechanized warfare.

The widespread use of long-range weapons such as tanks, artillery, and missiles has increased the contact distance between combatants on the battlefield, significantly reducing the opportunities for close-quarters combat. As a result, the importance of the bayonet as a traditional close-range fighting weapon has decreased significantly, and the military's emphasis on bayonets has inevitably declined.

However, this island landing operation exposed many problems in this regard.

Admittedly, bayonets are mostly useless, but in certain specific situations, they still deserve attention.

"Commander is joking. This bayonet is just a derivative idea of ​​the entrenching tool we had before..."

An Ning was very familiar with bayonets. If you were to ask what the best weapon in the apocalypse was, it would definitely not be a gun that could fire bullets, but rather a long spear from ancient times.

Zombies can move, and if you can't hit their heads, a gun is often less of a threat than a kitchen knife.

Moreover, guns have recoil, and even if an ordinary person gets their hands on a gun, it will be difficult to deal with zombies without professional training.

But long weapons are different, especially spears, which can attack zombies from a greater distance without the need for large movements like slashing. Because the tip is sharp, it is an excellent way to deal with zombies by stabbing them in and then pulling them out.

Later on, the survivors became more familiar with firearms, but bullets were still a scarce resource, so unless it was an emergency, everyone would choose to use melee weapons.

This is where the role of the bayonet, which had been overlooked for many years, came into play.

During the ten years of the apocalypse, An Ning had used at least ten or twenty different types of bayonets. She knew exactly which ones were good and which ones were not, which ones were effective and which ones were not.

Aside from not knowing how the materials were forged, he was very familiar with the performance and structure of bayonets made of various materials.

The two then had an in-depth exchange on the applications of the multi-functional bayonet in various aspects. An Ning, of course, did not dare to show how familiar he was with this area, but instead used many examples from daily life, which were still convincing enough.

Li Bowen wrote down much of what An Ning said, as supplementary explanations for dealing with other colleagues later.

After he had asked all the questions he wanted to ask, he began to chat with Anning about everyday things.

Li Bowen asked, "Is it tiring to take care of a child here all by yourself?"

Anning replied, "I'm not tired. My daughter is a very easy child to take care of; she's very sensible."

Li Bowen: "Being sensible is sometimes not a good thing. Some sensible children like to hide it and not say anything when they are bullied."

An Ning smiled and said, "That's right, but I'm also consciously paying attention to that. Fortunately, the neighbor's child has been protecting our little girl, so we haven't encountered any problems yet."

Li Bowen said earnestly, "That's good. There are no outsiders here now. I'm just letting you know, but don't mention it to anyone else after you leave. Song Wenyuan has other tasks to do, and he probably won't be back for a while. If you need anything, feel free to come to me, or you can tell Yan Fei."

He was cursing in his mind as he spoke.

This Song Wenyuan not only lied to his wife, but also made his boss help him lie.

He wanted to see how he would handle things once Comrade Anning found out!

As for her husband, who had taken great care of her in every way, Anning was naturally not foolish enough to tell him that she was planning to divorce him, so she dealt with each of his concerns one by one.

But at the same time, she couldn't help but think of the other party's troublesome niece.

I really don't know how such a respectable soldier could let his niece use his name as a shield in the army and do such petty and despicable things.

Of course, Anning believed that the commander was unaware of this, but she was not prepared to be the villain.

Rather than letting her tell the other person about this and lowering her own standing in their eyes, it's better to let the other person know directly what kind of person his good niece really is.

"Captain."

As An Ning was about to take her leave, Yan Fei whispered a reminder.

Li Bowen slapped his forehead and called out to her, "Look at my memory! Comrade Anning, wait a minute."

Li Bowen took out two small cloth bags from under the coffee table.

"have a look."

Anning opened the small cloth bag, and inside was a folded military green shovel.

"This is a sample made according to the blueprints you drew before. The material used is the same as the Type 65, but it feels a bit lacking and doesn't meet the effect we expected during our discussions, so only a small batch has been made for now. The research institute is still looking for new and suitable materials. If they can find better materials, this thing can be mass-produced very soon."

Compared to the Type 65 entrenching tool, the newly designed shovel is smaller and easier to carry, and it has many functions that can be used in the field.

Even though the performance was a little lacking, Li Bowen was still very satisfied.

"Although the materials are a bit inferior, they are definitely sufficient for family use. Take these two back as souvenirs, but I remember telling you before that you can't take them outside the military base without permission."

"Can I use it if I'm going beachcombing?"

Anning brought out this shovel specifically for beachcombing; if it can't be used for that, then it's completely useless.

But if you want to go beachcombing, you definitely have to go outside the military base.

Li Bowen was silent for a moment, then said, "If you're going to go beachcombing, keep a low profile and try not to make a big fuss."

"Don't worry, I know that much."
