“Ye Jian, sorry about this, we’ll be in your care again.”
“I don’t know why, but I just trust in you.”
“Same here, somehow my body feels calmer beside Ye Jian.”
They started bantering in front of the instructor’s face, Ye Jian looked at them and saw the trust in their eyes, a subtle but comforting smile surfaced on her beautiful face, “Okay, we’ll be the last group so that everyone will be cheering you girls on.”
It was but a simple thing, there was no reason to refuse, because, this was also a part of high school life, this was the high school life that she hadn’t experienced in her past life, she was willing to lend a hand to these students whose smiles revealed their sincere characters.
Originally Ye Jian’s group was the second group to finish target shooting but had now became the last group, with the start of the commands, the first batch of ten students stood in front of the loaded Type 81 semi-automatic assault rifles, they lay prone on the ground with their right hand tightly gripping the butt of the gun. At the same time, their index fingers were placed near the trigger.
“The gunstock must press firmly against your shoulder to prevent the recoil from hurting yourselves. Eyes forward, look down the sights, then shoot.” Before they started shooting, the instructors were standing near the guns half-crouched beside the students while reminding them once again, and also correcting any incorrect movements by the students.
A boy wanted to pull the trigger the moment he got his hands on the gun; his movements made him seem like he was familiar with guns, just that he was too antsy, the firing command hadn’t been announced yet if he had fired a bullet out of his urge. He would be on the receiving end of criticism.
“We haven’t started yet, why are you in a rush to express yourself?” The instructor standing beside the gun reminded him blandly, his voice was like chiseled gems, giving off a relaxed vibe, “Besides, based on your current aim, you’ll miss your shot 100%.”
The boy laughed out of embarrassment, “I’m a sorry instructor, I couldn’t hold back.”
“Commence firing!” With that command, the whole shooting range was filled with bursts of gunshot ‘bang, bang, bang, bang”,… and then, Ye Jian noticed a very thick layer of yellow dust was floating above the ground.
The sounds of 7.62 mm bullets being fired were low but substantial, the impact behind it was rather intense, it definitely has the strength to hit a target 100 meters away, but none had indeed hit their targets.
It was even more impossible for soldiers to stand on the side of the ring targets to observe the results on the targets, who dared to stand there? Even blanks would cause injuries if it hit them!
Gunfire rang around their ears, some girls were already screaming before it had even started, only after the soldiers who were lying in the trench got up to look at the results on the targets, and after they had waved their command flag, only then did the second batch of students walk forwards into the shooting zone.
Ye Ying was in the second batch; she took in a deep and long breath, she balled her fists and gave herself some encouragement, you can do it, you will definitely do it, Ye Ying! It was just shooting at targets; the d*mned lass even dared to try this out with only the instructor’s 20-minute long explanation, she’s already been learning it for two days, it doesn’t make for her to lose against the d*mned lass in something like this!
It’s important to note that she had always been better than the d*mned lass since young!
The results weren’t told immediately. Instead, it will be after the last student has finished shooting, then the soldiers who were hiding inside the trenches would come out and bring the results of each target over.
Walking over to the shooting area, Ye Ying lowered her head to glance at the assault rifle in front of her…; Luo Ran’s words from yesterday echoed beside her ears, that dumb*ss said he’ll make the d*mned lass have a taste of bullets! But now, he’s not even here, how the hell is he going to do that!
No matter what she’s thinking about in her heart, it’ll remain that, a thought,… as to how to hold a gun, how to fire the bullet, how to dress it up as an accident, that’s too hard! Even if Luo Ran was still here, it remains impossible!
Sure enough, the ideas from a dumb*ss can’t be trusted; she must’ve been insane last night to believe in his dumb ideas!
