Chapter 124: Chapter 125: Rematch At The Indoor Tactics Training Center
“Open the personal information panel.”
Lying on the bed, Chang Ning silently opened the system in his mind.
“Name: Chang Ning”
“Age: 19 years old”
“Military Rank: Second Lieutenant (Platoon Leader)”
“Merit Points: 500”
“Stamina: 600/??? （ An ordinary adult male’s stamina is 100 ）”
“Knife Skills: 100/100 (Cannot be upgraded)”
“Shooting Mastery: 70/100”
“Combat: 10/100”
“Demolition: 60/100”
“Makeup Reconnaissance: 80/100”
“Note: This system’s level is linked to the host’s military rank. Please strive hard, host!”
It had been several months since he last checked the system information. This time when he opened his own information, Chang Ning almost didn’t recognize it.
First, the merit points had risen to five hundred. Since participating in Wolf Fang’s selection training camp, he had experienced two actual combats. Although during Hou Wenquan’s time, Chang Ning was purely there to gain experience, the system still counted it as one mission.
Besides merit points, there were the experience bars. Three new experience bars had appeared, and the progress was all pretty good.
Combat was just generated today, only ten points, yet he could already barely hold his own against the instructor, which showed that the experience bar was quite valuable.
“System, why haven’t the experience bars for my other firearms been refreshed?”
During this month in Wolf Fang, Chang Ning had to undergo all kinds of training every day, and the training volume was enormous.
Naturally, this included firearm training, not only rifles like assault rifles and sniper rifles, but also a large amount of handgun training.
Domestic ones and foreign ones, all of them.
The daily ammunition consumption was around 5000 rounds.
Under such massive practice, it was impossible for the system not to refresh experience bars for other firearms.
But now, there were no appearances in the system panel’s information, which filled Chang Ning’s heart with doubt.
“To make the host’s information panel look clean and clear, the system has categorized all firearm training under the Shooting Mastery experience bar.”
The system’s unique electronic synthesized voice rang in Chang Ning’s mind.
Hearing the system’s explanation, Chang Ning suddenly understood.
No wonder. With his shooting level, how could the progress be only a mere 60 points.
In this case, the system had taken an average of all his firearm shooting levels.
Shooting Mastery’s full progress value is 100 points. Chang Ning now occupied 70 points, which already showed that his shooting level was now very high.
Compared to himself during the Night Tiger Reconnaissance Company period, his strength now had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Now he could beat the hell out of his past self from the reconnaissance company.
After all, he now knew many skills, and his physical fitness and shooting level had improved far more than before.
Therefore, now he could easily defeat his past self.
At the same time, his heart was filled with relief.
Back then in the exercise, how lucky he was to eliminate Gao Zhong Dui and Ma Da and the others.
Now it seemed that Chang Ning won back then because Gao Zhong Dui and the others didn’t know him and were careless.
Otherwise, Chang Ning wouldn’t have lasted until the end before being eliminated by the assassin.
He would have been eliminated as soon as he encountered Gao Zhong Dui and the others.
After all, back then Chang Ning only had physical fitness and shooting that were presentable, but two fists are no match for four hands.
How powerful the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team was, he now deeply understood, and at the same time felt fortunate for his luck back then.
“500 merit points seem like a lot, but in the system mall, nothing can be bought.
Currently, he could only buy some special bullets, but now without actual combat, using special bullets for training is too luxurious.”
Looking at the various weapon equipment in the system mall, Chang Ning drooled, but the high prices made him hesitate.
“Sigh, the task is heavy and the road is long.”
Finally glancing at the high-tech weapons in the mall that made him drool with envy, Chang Ning closed the system panel.
“Strength improves every day; this feeling is really great.”
Powerful strength brought him an unparalleled sense of security. With this sense of security, Chang Ning soon fell into deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Chang Ning and the B Group members were called to assemble at the indoor tactical training center. Seven people stood in a row facing Hui Lang.
“After more than a month’s special training, now let’s see the training results.”
Hui Lang led the seven people into a house. This house was the same as the one they trained in last time, but the decorations and furniture placements inside were different.
From the indoor layout, the training scenario this time should be a backstage makeup room.
The furniture placement was more complex than last time.
“How about it, confident?” Hui Lang asked with a smile.
“Report, we have no problem.”
Geng Jihui answered confidently. Their more than a month’s training wasn’t sporadic; the scars from paintball hits on their bodies were proof.
“Good, then we’ll wait and see.”
The A Group members looked at Chang Ning and the others with encouraging smiles.
Outside the house, Chang Ning stood on the left side of the door, one hand on the doorknob, the other holding a chambered 54 handgun, and said softly: “Ready.”
Xiao Zhuang was the main attacker this time, standing on Chang Ning’s right, right hand holding the handgun, left hand holding a mineral water bottle.
Behind him were Qiang Zi and Lao Pao as secondary attackers. Both had right hands holding handguns, left hands on the front team member’s left shoulder.
“Three, two, one, go!”
Chang Ning yanked open the door. Xiao Zhuang immediately threw the mineral water bottle in his left hand, which was substituting for the stun grenade, and then his sturdy body crashed through the door and quickly entered the makeup room.
Chang Ning followed closely behind. Lao Pao and Qiang Zi behind paused slightly, but their reaction was quick, and they immediately followed in.
Xiao Zhuang entered, raised his gun to occupy the right corner position, moved forward quickly while firing continuously. The first to be killed was the terrorist holding Earth Wolf.
The terrorist behind Xiao Zhuang was hit in the head and throat continuously. Chang Ning entered and occupied the left corner position, maintaining quick movement to clear obstacles. He was responsible for identifying and filling gaps for Xiao Zhuang.
Behind were Qiang Zi, Lao Pao, Geng Jihui, the medic in sequence, with Ostrich bringing up the rear.
They followed in and shot at the terrorists!
From the very rhythmic gunshots, it was clear that everyone had made huge progress in this month.
“Bang bang! Bang bang…”
Five seconds later, the gunshots stopped. Chang Ning fired a follow-up shot at the terrorist standing behind the door, then scanned the scene. After discovering no omissions, he loudly said: “Control.”
He immediately holstered his handgun, and the other six B Group members also holstered theirs.
Everyone had smiles on their faces. All the terrorists were killed by them, and the time control was just right. Everything was so perfect.
Ostrich’s upturned mouth corners were almost uncontrollable. He was having a hard time holding back his laughter now. If not for Hui Lang and the others being there, he would have burst out laughing.
But things didn’t go as wished. Hui Lang’s face was now so gloomy it could drip water.
“What? Do you think I’ll praise you? Praise your marksmanship, praise your standard movements, praise your perfect time control?”
Seeing Hui Lang’s expression off, everyone restrained their smiles. Even the confident Chang Ning was puzzled in his heart.
He didn’t understand why Hui Lang was unhappy. From start to finish, everything was executed according to Hui Lang’s standards.
“Want to know why you all did so well, yet I’m not happy?”
Hui Lang asked, looking at everyone.
At this point, Hui Lang suddenly started keeping them in suspense.
Chang Ning naturally felt very unhappy in his heart. He thought: Isn’t Hui Lang stating the obvious? They definitely wanted to know the reason.
“I know you’re all unhappy now, thinking I’m nitpicking. Now I’ll convince you all.”
After saying that, Hui Lang stood up and moved aside, revealing the terrorist’s body he had been blocking.
That terrorist was still holding a pretty young woman in his arms. For some reason, there was a bullet hole in the woman’s forehead.
Seeing this, everyone suddenly understood, especially Ostrich, whose face changed dramatically.
Because this direction was his responsibility, the bullet hole in the woman’s forehead must have been caused by him.
Ostrich wanted to defend himself.
“Hui Lang, listen to me explain…”
“What’s there to explain!”
Hui Lang roughly interrupted Ostrich and continued: “No matter how big heaven and earth are, the hostage is the biggest.
I don’t care what the reason is; I only saw the result.
That is, the hostage was killed by you stupid people. That’s the result!”
Objectively speaking, this couldn’t be blamed on Ostrich.
Due to the angle, plus most of the terrorist’s body was blocked by Hui Lang, Ostrich didn’t see the hostage when he fired.
So he aimed at the terrorist’s heart and fired without hesitation, and the hostage was right in front of the terrorist’s heart position.
However, there really was no way to defend this. After all, their job was to safely rescue the hostage, not kill the hostage.
Therefore, Ostrich could only swallow this mute loss.
“Everyone, 300 push-ups, begin!”
Because he got everyone doing push-ups with him, Ostrich felt bad inside and looked at everyone apologetically, while everyone responded with comforting smiles.
Anyone would make mistakes; they weren’t the kind of people who couldn’t distinguish right from wrong.
After finishing the push-ups, the seven went back outside the room, planning to try again.
But today felt off. Clearly everyone coordinated well, and marksmanship was up to par, but once inside the room, various problems always arose.
Especially with constant mistakes, everyone started getting restless, even Chang Ning, the cheater, was no exception.
The more emotionally unstable they were, the more mistakes they made.
Watching B Group keep messing up, Hui Lang knew where their problem was.
After all, B Group’s average age was young, with little experience, so getting restless facing constant problems was normal.
“Stop for a bit. Your mindset is wrong now. Calm down, try again in ten minutes.”
After everyone finished the push-ups again, Hui Lang let them relax and gave practical advice.
“Yes!” ×7
Ten minutes later, Chang Ning looked at his comrades: “Brothers, this is just training. Mistakes are fine; we have plenty of time to correct them slowly. As long as we don’t make mistakes in actual combat.”
“Chang Ning is right. Worst case, do another 300 push-ups. No big deal.”
Geng Jihui said.
With the two’s comfort, the others felt much better.
This time Chang Ning still opened the door, positions unchanged.
Three seconds later, Chang Ning opened the door, Xiao Zhuang threw the mineral water bottle and quickly entered.
Everyone’s coordination could be called tacit understanding, if not seamless.
The first offender Ostrich completed his task very well this time, without any mistakes in the middle.
Hui Lang looked at the seven slightly panting people, smiled, and clapped for them. Then the other A Group members followed suit.
They had all seen Chang Ning and B Group’s progress.
“Congratulations, you did it!”
“Yes!”
Ostrich pumped his fist vigorously.
Chang Ning was also very happy. He fist-bumped Geng Jihui on his left and Xiao Zhuang on his right.
“But there were a few mistakes in your action just now that I need to point out.”
Hearing Hui Lang’s words, everyone put away their smiles and looked at him seriously.
“First, you must remember follow-up shots.
No matter which part of the terrorist you hit, even heart or head, give me a follow-up shot.
No luck-based thinking on the battlefield, because that will cost you your life!”
At this point, Hui Lang focused on Chang Ning. He was talking about Chang Ning, because the terrorists Chang Ning was responsible for were all head or heart shots, with only one bullet hole each.
Chang Ning knew Hui Lang was talking about him, but he didn’t feel offended. Ma Da was doing it for his own good.
Good marksmanship doesn’t mean everything. Surviving actual combat relies on rich experience, and now Hui Lang was passing that experience to him.
There are always some people who can’t be judged normally, like those with hearts on the right side. In such cases, follow-up shots are very necessary.
Seeing Chang Ning seriously taking his advice, Hui Lang’s smile became even brighter. Unlike Gao Zhong Dui, he didn’t keep a stern face all day.
“Next, when entering the room, you need to quickly assign a kill order to the terrorists in a short time.
Those in blind spots and mixed with hostages must be prioritized, because they threaten your and the hostage’s lives.
This kind of short-term rapid memory requires special training to master. We’ll train you on this later; don’t worry.”
Hui Lang’s requirements were harsh, even perverted. But thinking about involving hostages and everyone’s lives, Chang Ning felt these requirements weren’t much.
Looking at the dazed rookies, Hui Lang smiled: “Alright, stop spacing out.
From the moment you entered the door of Warehouse 026, the burden on you has been constantly increasing.
‘Lone Wolf Special Assault Team’ represents honor and also pressure.
Rookies, welcome to the Lone Wolf Special Assault Team.
Here you will learn violent aesthetics. This is a science and also an art!”
At this point, Hui Lang’s expression was proud, and the other A Group members felt the same. Everyone had a strong sense of belonging to the “Lone Wolf Special Assault Team.”
