“Thunderstorm? What a mad name.” Yang Lie raised his eyebrow and looked at the gloomy Zeus, “Why do you have such an expression? Have you lost?”
“Nothing to lose.” Zeus pressed his thumbs firmly up and down against his temple, “I just remembered a scene I didn’t want to remember. Fortunately, he didn’t join the army, otherwise, the recruit contest would be too hectic.”
“Really?” Yang Lie’s eyes stared at Enzo Rota’s back for a few more seconds, “Unfortunately, such an opponent did not even join the army.”
Zeus’s mouth twitched twice, he muttered, “You better not feel sorry about that. For me at least, I can’t feel sorry at all. I only feel that lady luck is on my side.”
“Thunderstorm?” Lin Liqiang’s ear twitched twice and used his elbow to prod against Enzo Rota’s arm, “Old Enz, I’ve been very curious, how did you get such a powerful nickname?”
Enzo Rota’s eyebrows twisted and moved weirdly a few times, then he raised his finger and pointed at the huge projection screen in the sky. At the same time, the audience burst into a bout of praises.
The recruits who walked into the armory did not immediately select the weapons that were placed on the table. Everyone picked one up from a pile of parts in front.
These dozens of recruits were like the aunts who go to the market. Each carried a special box in their hands, putting in the parts they liked into the box.
Qin Fen stood quietly outside the crowd. His arm was fractured lightly still so he had to be careful to maintain it. If he rushed into the crowd and a recruit wanted to do him badly, it would be easy to rig the situation within the collisions and new injuries will be added to the broken arm. It will become more troublesome.
The crowd suddenly dispersed one by one and opened a passage. Lin Ling took two baskets and walked over to Qin Fen and put down one basket. He quietly sat on the ground and began to assemble weapons with parts from another basket.
Qin Fen laughed at a few recruits. Lin Ling’s strength was not only with firearms, but she was also a strong champion contender in terms of fists and kicks. It was impossible for these snipers to stop her if they wanted to.
“What kind of speed is that?!”
A scream came from the outside of the armory, Qin Fen nodded again and again. Lin Ling’s hands fluttered like a butterfly and the pile of parts in her hands was built into sophisticated anti-sniper equipment in a blink of an eye.
Military enthusiasts stared at the huge screen for a long time and couldn’t make any comments. Building guns! This was real technical work, especially when it came to the precision instrument of anti-sniping equipment. There was a need to be even more careful so the accuracy of shooting would not be affected.
Ka… ka…
Lin Ling took the big gun and swiftly made a final adjustment. Empty shells flew out from the side one by one. Her cool and heroic attitude made many audiences feel choked.
Qin Fen looked down at the parts in the basket. These were the parts that had been used in the mission. Lin Ling must have read relevant records of the military area. Her memory was strong. Every part used was here, nothing was missing. Not even a particle of unused parts was seen in the basket.
“There are still two parts missing.”
Qin Fen looked up at the finished weapons around him. If he wanted to get his arm injury healed as soon as possible, it was best to reduce the recoil the body would receive to the minimum. There was a risk in squeezing with the crowd to look for parts, he might as well just abstain from using it.
Qin Fen carried the basket and came to the most familiar Barrett. His left hand grabbed the 12.9 gram Barrett.
“Oh? East Asia recruit Qin Fen wants to use a standard Barrett?”
“I am afraid so? It is difficult for him to make a gun with one hand.”
“To win with a standard weapon… God!”
“Ah?”The audience was shocked. On the screen showed Qin Fen, who was holding the 12.9 gram Barrett with his left hand. The wrist only shook slightly, but it managed to turn a strong anti-sniper into a pile of parts on the ground. Several parts with better elasticity bounced a few times around on the ground.
Two recruits that had finished selecting parts and turned around to build their guns were shocked by the sight. You can destroy a gun like that? How did he do that?
“Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, did you see how the gun fell apart?”
“It seems that recruit Qin Fen just shook his wrist…”
The third commentator shook his head hard, his surprised face revealing a layer of joy, “Haha! It seems that today’s recruit Qin Fen has not given up fighting! Even with just one hand, he can also do amazing things. But then again, if other recruits can’t even win against a wounded soldier, their faces can really be thrown into the Arctic Ocean.”
“No, not the Arctic Ocean, I believe they can be thrown to Pluto [1].”
The recruits in the armory listened to the three commentators’ comments with a dull face. If the act of murder wasn’t against the law, the three commentators would have long been sniped until they become ground meat.
Injured soldiers? Had anyone seen such an injured soldier? By just shaking your wrist, the precise and solid Barrett fell apart?
Injured soldiers! Who has ever seen a person building a gun single-handedly, and still faster than anyone?
Military enthusiasts squeezed their faces hard to find out whether they were dreaming or not. Someone with a bandaged arm and unable to move it still had the speed to build guns at least five times faster than the people using two hands!
What if his hands weren’t injured? The recruits broke into a cold shiver simultaneously. Fortunately, this person was injured. Fortunately, this time it was a game of sniping and of not building guns.
War and forming guns were two different matters.
“Hu…”
Qin Fen blew on the equipped gun barrels, took the new gun and walked out of the armory.
“We…won’t lose to an injured soldier, right?”
In the armory, a recruit looked at the others with doubt.
After a short silence of a few seconds, the recruit’s eyes suddenly filled with flaming intent.
“No! We can’t defeat Qin Fen in his perfect condition and still can’t win against the injured Qin Fen?”
“Win, I must defeat Qin Fen!”
As screams of battle intent rushed out from the armory, Qin Fen felt a chill up his spine. The recruits screamed again and again. “Obsession, such a scary thing.”
“I will win.”
Lin Ling checked her anti-sniper equipment. The cold and no emotional sound was once again introduced into Qin Fen’s ear.
Qin Fen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, this woman’s obsession would even be more terrible. Her emotionless voice sounded more aggressive.
On the screen, the recruits in the battle intent state had a significantly increased speed in gun-building. Qin Fen was speechless with how the other recruits had their blood boil and their minds daydreaming. The way the guns were built… if it was a live shooting, the first shot would be blown up.
“The sniper competition is about to start! It’s so exciting!”
“Yeah, if Qin Fen can still win single-handedly today, then… haha…”
“I don’t know, how are the preparations on the commanders’ side? Let’s switch the screen and interview them.”
The huge projection screen flashed. There were a few soldiers with the major’s uniform, captain’s uniform, colonel’s uniform and even a few with major general’s uniform. They were all chatting with each other about the sniper equipment. The calm look could not conceal the aura of an iron-willed soldier in their bones.
“Commanders, how are you today. We are the commentators for this contest. Can we interview you? How is your mood? Are you nervous?”
“Nervous?”
The commander wearing the army uniform was first stunned, and then everyone laughed together.
“Nervous, nervous, we are all too nervous.” The colonel, who was obviously of European origin, was reluctant to smile. “I am really scared.”
“How are you scared?”
“How?” The colonel of African descent rolled his eyes, “I am afraid that the time of battle is too short. I worry once I warm up, these recruit soft eggs will be crying for their mother and won’t want to play with us anymore after getting tortured by me.”
“I am also afraid. I am afraid that I will dodge the sniping of these cream recruits. They would yell at me for punching them, shouting that it’s against the rules.” It was a major from East Asia waving a stretch rod, pretending that he was hitting the recruits’ head.
“Ohhh, everyone is very confident. Do you know, there was a recruit in the limelight called Qin Fen…” The voice of the commentator was full of provocation, “Be careful or you will be thrown into the gutter.”
“Thrown into the gutter? Haha…” The young general of American descent laughed, “In the history of the recruit competition, every session has a famous recruit. Still, no one could escape the fate of being smashed in the sniper contest. Rest assured, we will leave him for last, and then point all our guns to his head. Let him know the feeling of being shot at the head at the same time by multiple guns.”
“Oh? Is that so?” The commentator said, “Director, give us a close-up of Qin Fen, the most powerful one. What do you think of the conversations of the seniors?”
“…” Qin Fen scratched his head, “Nervous, nervous, I am too nervous. I’m scared. I’m terrified.”
Hahahaha…
There was a burst of laughter in the audience stands, no one would have thought that Qin Fen would actually mimick the voices and tones of the commanders in his response. If you close your eyes, you can hardly tell which was the voice of Qin Fen and which were the voices of the officers.
The faces of the team of commanders on the broadcast screen turned sour! They wanted to ridicule the recruits but didn’t expect to have a recruit to mock them in front of thousands of people.
“Commanders.” The commentator feared that the situation would become chaotic, “I am not the person who picks the fights! I didn’t know how will you react to this recruit. But now I do know! If I was in your position, I wouldn’t stand it either.”
There was another burst of laughter in the audience. The commentator was really bad, to openly provoke in the presence of both sides.
The commander squad was silent for a few seconds. The colonel of European descent slowly looked up and stared at Qin Fen through the screen, “Young East Asia recruit, soon, you will be really scared.”
Qin Fen slightly bowed his head, “Maybe, but the person who will hit me will not be you. I think, you who are wearing the military uniform of the colonel, should be the highest score of this team? I believe that when the battle starts, a lot of my companions will be very interested in you.”
The colonel’s polite smile was stiff and the eyes showed a hint of shock briefly. This kid seemed to be the real deal since Qin Fen was able to see his real identity just by looking at him through the screen.
