Crosson Base. Wu Jin ran beneath the scorching sun.

On the lawn, the stage manager was still explaining the details for the variety show next week to a group of trainees.

The sponsor is Snow Leopard Online Entertainment. Before tonight, everyone should go see Instructor Ying for a live broadcast room number and upload a profile picture for the variety show as a guest performer. If you dont know how to fix up your photo, go find the camera team. Remember to wash your hair before taking the photo

Within the crowd, Thin Fire was surprised when he saw Wu Jin still running around wildly, Didnt the program doctor tell Little Witch to rest quietly? How come hes running around? And Wen Lins following him.

Ming Yao pondered, Is it some secret that White Moonlight hasnt shared with us? Exercising to nourish the body!

Shooting range.

The staff was laughing as they scanned Wu Jins ident.i.ty chip and registered the two of them, Who are you asking about? Contestant Wei and Contestant Zoe? Oh, theyre in there, dueling with guns! You young people are sure full of vigor! Sure enough, when the female contestants come, our Crosson Show is full of energy

Wu Jin was out of breath, panting as he made a sound of acknowledgement, scurrying towards the viewing area. In his field of vision, the light was dim and vague; the underground shooting room with a depth of 100 meters was blocked out by the protective gla.s.s.

There was n.o.body in the stands, but there was the flash of a figure in the shooting range

Without waiting for Wen Lin to react, Wu Jin stuck himself up against the toughened protective gla.s.s and started to pounce around, trying to catch his captains attention and protect the big boss, Captain captain captain captain

Inside the shooting range, Zoes expression was cold.

The White Moonlight captain gestured coolly for Wen Lin to peel Wu Jin away.

This patch of Little Witch on the gla.s.s was too worrying!! It had only been a few months, and hed already been tricked away by Contestant Wei

However, Zoe thought, looking coldly at Wei s.h.i.+.

Matters between men should be resolved in a manly way.

At this time, the targets hadnt yet appeared. There was a long table behind both Zoe and Wei s.h.i.+, and hundreds of dark gun parts were scattered on the surface.

The countdown began at 40 seconds.

The timer board flashed red, and a small line of text appeared at the bottom: Mauser, Kar98K.

The two men whod originally been standing still suddenly turned around, picking through the metal parts with hands that moved as fast as lightning.

Wu Jins eyes grew round. The love for antique firearms in the 31st century was similar to the love for cold steel weapons in the 21st century. Originally, hed thought that a gun duel was similar to fencingbut unexpectedly, it began with a.s.sembling guns.

Inside the shooting range, the two mens movements were as smooth as water. Within 12 seconds, Zoes gun chamber had just taken shape while the big boss had begun to a.s.semble the hammer. At 20 seconds, Zoe held the heat guard with one hand while the big boss held the b.u.t.t of his gun. At 26 seconds, the big boss installed the eyepiece and calibrated the gun while Zoe was still adjusting the magazine

40 seconds.

The bunkers and targets appeared at the same time!

Gun duel. 1v1 solo fight. The condition for winning is to take down 100 targets or to shoot the other party in the head. Wen Lin explained.

On the court, Zoe and Wei s.h.i.+ shot at the same time!

In survival shows, the most artistic position was undoubtedly that of the sniper. They had to be calm and rational. Snipers could have the best of the teams resources, and they even had the right to wait for hours behind the safety of a bunkerthey had to be careful with their shots, and one shot might determine if they won or lost.

The targets glowed slightly. They were about the size of a coin, with blurred edges against the dark background. They floated in the air and looked like a cl.u.s.ter of stars at first glance. Zoe slid back into the bunker, opened up the scope, and locked precisely on a targets trajectory. His wrist was still as he held the b.u.t.t of the gun firmly, the muzzle moving a few millimeters

Waiting to snipe. Wu Jin said.

Zoe performed the most standard micro-operations for a sniper, calculating the targets trajectory and waiting for the target position to coincide with his center of gravity.One shot one kill.

There was a

Bang

. The hammer of the K98k sounded out clearly, the sound of two guns ringing out one after the other! It was Wei s.h.i.+ whod first gotten a point, and Zoe had hit his own target to catch up after.

Wu Jin ran along the protective gla.s.s and saw the big boss in the dim lightingk2013;k2013;

Instant snipe? Wen Lins mouth dropped open in amazement.

Wei s.h.i.+ practically hadnt aimed at all, yet hed hit the dynamic target accurately with a single shot. It was almost impossible from a common sense perspective, but there was no fault to be found in the details. From raising his gun to firing, hed only had 0.3 seconds to look through the 4x sniper scope.

There was only one explanation.

This! Wen Lin lost his composure for once, What kind of monster is this? Raising his hand and aiming at a 90% level of accuracy with his naked eye, then scanning the scope for just half a second to refine his aim? He calibrated the gun in less than 10 seconds. How did he do it? Even Wei Yan

Wu Jin was in a trance. Not to mention instant snipe, even if he stood there for over 10 seconds, he still wouldnt be able to hit a thing. Wu Jins own dynamic target accuracy was only at an average of 7 rings. Whats more the dynamic targets in the room now were only the size of a coin, which was to say that any shots outside the 10 rings was equal to 0 rings.

The scores jumped. Wei s.h.i.+ 24 points, Zoe 17.

The red sign changed: Browning M2, heavy machine gun.

The two of them dropped the big sniper gun at the same time and a.s.sembled the second gun. Wei s.h.i.+ was still a little faster in this round, but Zoe was only 2 seconds behind. Then, he picked up the gun to aim it at the targetthe muzzle s.h.i.+fted to the left, sweeping towards Wei s.h.i.+!

There were two conditions for victory: A headshot, or the first to reach 100 shots on the targets.

Wei s.h.i.+s advantage was too big with his ability to instant snipe. It had only been the first round, yet Zoe was already 7 shots behind. Zoe frowned and didnt hesitate to make the only other possible choiceeliminate him from the match.

The sound of heavy machine gun fire rang out. The gun that had been in use for hundreds of years wasnt inferior at all when it came to firing and suppression. In order to be first, Zoe jumped out from behind the bunker

He raised the gun, opened the scope, and sniped.

To be able to lift up such a heavy machine gun within a second, Zoes muscle burst ability was already placed amongst that of the best snipers. Using the heavy machine gun to snipe, preview, and suppress; all of a snipers dazzling skills were displayed exquisitely at this moment.

Wen Lin paused for a long time, then laughed quietly, Hes made significant progress.

The two machine guns sounded at the same time!

The bunkers collapsed like toppling mountains, and dust flew up into the air. The deafening sound of machine gun fire shook the sky and caused the ground to tremble as empty bullet sh.e.l.ls flew out like silver chips.

Until the digital judge beeped.

Zoe grunted as the protective helmet popped open.

The White Moonlight sniper suddenly fell behind the bunker, struggling for a long time to get up.

Wei s.h.i.+ used the machine gun to shoot Zoe in the head.

Gun duel won.

Outside the shooting range, Wu Jin rushed to the door, knocking on it, but was unable to open it up. He continued to splay out against the gla.s.s, begging, jumping back and forth, and knocking on the door, practically turning into a virtual shadow.

Inside the shooting range.

Zoe sat up indifferently. With these gun skills, there was no need to mention the trainees, even Blood Pigeon, the sniper of the White Moonlight team, or the R-Code captain, Shao Yu, during his peak period, were on the same level as he was.

On the other side, Wei s.h.i.+ crossed his arms over his chest, his aura deadly from the earlier gun fight. This person had probably partic.i.p.ated in more than just compet.i.tionsZoe had a snipers instinct, and it told him that this man was more dangerous than anyone else hed ever met.

Zoe: Why are you taking part in the compet.i.tion.

Wei s.h.i.+ looked down from above. The aura around him was heavy, and the air cold, but he didnt show any hostility, Debut position.

Zoe quipped, Do you even need a debut?

Wei s.h.i.+ was expressionless, Forming a team.

Zoe paused. A normal person, an individual trainee, wanted to form a battle team. Anyone who had watched survival shows before would think that Wei s.h.i.+ was crazy.

However, he really did have the strength to do so.

Zoe was silent for a long time before enunciating carefully, How did Little Witch provoke you?

Wei s.h.i.+ spoke calmly, Im preparing to register with him.

Zoe quivered. Register for what? Register a marriage license?!

Theyd only known each other for a few months. When did they start dating?! Little Witch was only 9 years old, no wait, 19. Did he have any property certificates on the blue planet? Had they informed their parents? Had they told Caesar and Secretary Qu?!

Zoes chest was suddenly filled with anger, with the thoughts that originally filled his brain such as sc.u.m man, wild man playing around with Little Witch, toying with the innocent Little Witch, and so on, all seemingly to have been in vain. Wei s.h.i.+s expression was too serious. Zoe could be considered to have some experience in relations.h.i.+ps, and he had more brains than Caesar. He could believe that Wei s.h.i.+ was being frank.

Zoes voice was muted, Youre f*cking youre serious?!

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded. His eyes were outlined distinctly in shadow, his pupils pitch black and cold, his tone brooking no argument, Im serious.

Outside the shooting range, Wu Jin continued to knock at the door, and Wen Lin looked on in enjoyment, all the way until a quarrel broke out in the shooting range. Zoe seemed to be speaking very quickly, and his expression was fierce. The bulletproof gla.s.s separated them from the two peoples conversation, and Wu Jin ran to the air vent in a panic to stop the fight

Zoe: You chased after him, and Little Witch tried to take the blame?

Wei s.h.i.+: Yes.

Zoe: That time for the Lovers Card instance, you were the one who sniped me away to squeeze into the instance and form a CP with Little Witch?!

Wei s.h.i.+: Mm.

Zoe: The Cretaceous period instance, Little Witch rode on the Pterosaur on his own to go find you?!

Wei s.h.i.+: Yes.

Zoe finally calmed down and then became indignant. Little Witch was a little fool whod sent himself into the firefalling in love behind his parents back. Wouldnt his next step be to elope and run off?!

However, all of the historical crimes that had acc.u.mulated all came to nothing. Wei s.h.i.+ was actually serious.

As the captain for White Moonlight, he should act as Wu Jins family and protect him, driving away emotional swindlers for him, but he shouldnt hinder Wu Jin from loving freely.

Zoe fell silent for a long time, then finally said, Youre the one who taught him to shoot.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded.

Every sniper had subtle operating habits and their own style, no different to fingerprints or handwriting, that had its own personal flavor. Wu Jin hadnt yet formed his own preferences with a gun, and his prejudgement and shooting should have been taught by Zoe and Blood Pigeon. However, starting from the second elimination match, Zoe had felt that Wu Jins style was unlike anyone elses.

Until just now, when Wei s.h.i.+ had started shooting right in front of his face.

Zoe was very clear about Wu Jins talent. For Wu Jin to be able to form a style in 5 months, Wei s.h.i.+ must have calibrated Wu Jins shooting posture at least a thousand times.

In order to leave his own mark on Wu Jins tactical habits.

There was a long silence in the shooting room.

Zoe spoke in a cold and hard tone, Well stop here today. Open the door and let Little Witch in.

Wei s.h.i.+ nodded, then turned and stretched his hand out to Zoe.

Zoe froze and was on the fence for a long time. Finally, he decided to show respect. The White Moonlight whod just been shot in the head got up with Wei s.h.i.+s a.s.sistance.

On the other side of the door, Wen Lin sighed emotionally, Its done. Let your captain mull over it for a few days. Right now, he just cant get over it.

Wu Jin: Eh

The protective lock on the shooting range was unlocked.

Wu Jin quickly bounced up, his expression firm as he tried to confess sincerely, I was the one who didnt report it

Zoe patted Wu Jin on the shoulder, Enough. Go in and practice your shooting. Well review the game in the evening.

Wu Jin paused, let out a long sigh of relief, and then nodded happily.

After Zoe left.

Wei s.h.i.+ raised his eyebrows, I said it before.

Ill deal with it.

Outside the Crosson shooting range. Zoe stepped out of the shower without a word. Half a beat later, he started indignantly, Its impossible for them to get a certificate now! Little Witchs visa Zoe was relieved, With his visa, its quite a bit of trouble to register for marriage.

Wen Lin: Werent you shot in the head with one hit? Youre still not giving in?

Zoe was disgruntled, Its not that Im weak, its that the opponent who is too strong. According to my observations, this man is very capable. Zoe a.n.a.lyzed it calmly, Who does he think he is, the King of Crosson? I cant let him pa.s.s the test so easily

Wen Lin: Then what? Give him a few examination questions? Are you marrying off a princess?

Zoe:

A few seconds later.

Zoe mused, This makes sense. Say, how many questions did the prince have to fill in when he proposed marriage?

Wen Lin was surprised, Are you taking it seriously? Have you been with Caesar for too long and gradually become affected?!

Zoe: I didnt, Im not, Im just asking.

Crosson shooting range.

While the big boss was was.h.i.+ng up, Wu Jin thought about the instant sniping for a while, and when the man came back out, he suddenly thought of something, You went to the R-Code base

Just then, both their terminals lit up at the same time.

A notice from the Crosson Show.

A meeting at the studio half an hour later.

The results of the voting from the previous compet.i.tion were out, and they would also distribute the script for the variety show.

Juurensha: Zoe begrudgingly giving in while still scheming hahaha.
