"You brat. I said I would give it to you, so I will. I just suddenly thought that your personal items have all been submitted for centralized storage. When the time comes, I'll put your items in there, and you can take them all at once," Arrow said.
"Can I carry a gun casually?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Stop pretending. Even if you're not allowed to carry a gun, you'd still sneakily hide one away. Is it interesting to ask this question?" Arrow replied, putting the Peach Wood Box back. Before he could set it down properly, he suddenly turned around and said, "You say that as a monster, you should keep this kind of gun; it's basically useless, just keep it in the box as a collectible."
"As the Gun God of your generation, it's even more useless for you; you are better off without a gun," Zhang Yang said. "Alright, enough about useless things. You mentioned having dinner together tonight; let's get some drinks."
That evening, Zhang Yang followed Arrow to his dormitory. Arrow opened a bottle of premium Bamboo Leaf Wine and said, "Just this bottle of wine; drink slowly."
"The food is average, but this wine is decent." After pouring the wine, Arrow raised his glass, the light yellow liquid swirled lightly, releasing its aroma. Arrow first brought it to his nose and took a deep sniff.
"Five-spice peanuts, smoked fish, cured sausage, dried tofu—who says the food is average? It's all perfect for pairing with wine," Zhang Yang also tasted a bit and remarked, "Li Jian, your cooking is more authentic than what Instructor Kuro does."
"That's not what Instructor Kuro does; it's all for your own good. Back in the day when we were in the Red Fox Assault Team..." Arrow began to recount stories from his time with Kuro Sijin in the Red Fox Assault Team. Now that the Red Fox Assault Team had long since disbanded, its reputation still lingered on; even members of some international espionage organizations would show admiration when mentioning the Red Fox Assault Team.
This former Sharpshooter had now passed the age of understanding life’s complexities; the glory of those days had faded away like the wind. How many could truly understand the sentiments that lingered in his heart? The peanut shells scattered, the juice from the dried tofu flowed out; the light yellow wine and bloodshot eyes spoke of a kind of restlessness within comfort.
Zhang Yang's pale face flushed suddenly as he shouted, "Big Brother! Please allow me to bow to you!" Saying this, he clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
Arrow was taken aback but quickly understood. He downed a glass of wine in one go and laughed heartily, "Young man, stay on the right path and walk the broad road; don't look back!"
The wine did not intoxicate them; they were intoxicated by their own feelings.
With only one bottle of wine left, both ended up sleeping in Arrow's dormitory. Fortunately, although it was a single room, there were two sets of bunk beds.
When Zhang Yang woke up the next day, Arrow was already gone. However, there was a note left on the table: "I went out for something; you can go back to your dorm." "Okay, I'll go back and rest for a day before asking Kuro Sijin about the next steps," Zhang Yang muttered to himself while holding the note.
In fact, Arrow had gone out to find Kuro Sijin.
"Old Black, I've completed my mission; firearms training is over," Arrow said.
"Heh heh, no one is perfect. This kid has good skills but may not be suited for shooting," Kuro Sijin replied.
"What did you say? Not suitable for shooting?"
"Yeah, otherwise how could you say the mission is completed so quickly? It must not be suitable, so there's no need to continue teaching."
"Stop talking nonsense. It's because he has learned all the technical essentials. I have nothing left to teach him. We can't just count stars and talk about feelings, can we?"
"What? Say that again?!"
"Let me put it this way: when he stands and shoots with a light machine gun, every shot is above 9 rings, and there are quite a few 10 rings; the first time he used the Type 85 sniper rifle at an 800-meter moving paper target, he aimed for the forehead but ended up shooting through the eye; holding a .50 caliber Desert Eagle in each hand, he almost hit every thrown clod of dirt."
"Damn, how did you teach him?"
"I taught him with my mouth, and he practiced with his hands. He takes a long time to think and asks very relevant questions. Aside from disassembling and assembling, I only demonstrated one shot, which was the Type 85 sniper rifle aimed at the forehead of the paper target, just to show him the importance of state of mind and feeling."
"He really has no foundation in firearms at all?"
"When he fired the first shot with the Type 54, I knew he had indeed never shot a real gun before. However, it seems he has some foundation in using a crossbow; he talks about it quite eloquently," Arrow said.
"Maregebi..." Kuro Sijin couldn't help but laugh after hearing Arrow's introduction.
"Damn it, how can you still laugh? I should be the one cursing," Arrow said.
"This kid's skills in the jungle are said to be top-notch; is this really top-notch? This is a monster. Back when I was in the Red Fox Assault Team, although my main task was sniping, I could rank in the top five for hand-to-hand combat, right? But in this kid's hands, it's like he's made of clay; he can mold me however he wants." After being grabbed by Zhang Yang by the neck, Arrow certainly felt embarrassed.
"You were there to teach firearms; why would you play hand-to-hand combat with him? Besides, aside from me, your hand-to-hand combat skills barely rank fifth," Kuro Sijin laughed.
"You're damn right. Alright, let's not mention it anymore. I actually like this kid; I gave him my limited edition Desert Eagle as a parting gift when he left," Arrow said as he waved his hand to leave.
"Damn!" Kuro Sijin's eyes widened. "You gave him that? You're really generous; why didn't you give me one? What kind of soup did this kid feed you... Well, it's just right for him to come back and continue training; now we're entering the group field combat phase."
"I tell you, old Black, with this kid's skills, do you still want him to train with a slingshot?" After spending several days with Zhang Yang, Arrow had learned to use "slingshot" as a catchphrase.
"This stage is very important. This kid has some real skills, but I want him to participate in the training mainly because I think he should learn how to cooperate with the team and even pick up some strategies and tactics for command," Kuro Sijin said. "Now there are 60 people left, divided into 12 groups, with 5 people in each group."
"Well, actually you would be more suited to be an instructor than a commando," Arrow said as he walked out, which made Kuro Sijin clench his fist in frustration.
When Zhang Yang returned to the dormitory after washing up, Chong Lin came to knock on the door.
"I heard the firearms training is over? What do you think of Instructor Arrow?" Chong Lin asked. "The training is done, it was pretty good, Gun God," Zhang Yang replied.
"You two are so impressive that you managed to get along without any issues. I'm amazed. Anyway, Black Team said you're going back to training; this time it's field combat, and your groups have already been assigned," Chong Lin said as he handed a form to Zhang Yang. "The training starts this afternoon after lunch, so you should contact your teammates in the morning."
Zhang Yang looked at the form and saw that he was grouped with Shi Qing, Qin Wen, Qi Shen, and Liang Ming—all of whom were from Shanhai Province. To his delight, both female members had not been eliminated yet. However, having two women in one group for field combat training might make things quite challenging.
Moreover, this time the field combat training would adopt a points system. The top six teams would not have to eliminate any members, while the bottom six would face elimination in order from 1 to 6. This meant that the last-ranked group would face total elimination.
Zhang Yang went to find his teammates and discovered that Qi Shen and Liang Ming had gathered in Shi Qing and Qin Wen's room. The four were engaged in a heated discussion when Zhang Yang entered.
"Zhang, you're here! Our Shan Hai Squad can't afford to lose face this time!" Liang Ming exclaimed.
