Chapter 52, 7 Rings



A dozen minutes later, Shen Zhijie dragged the monster's corpse to a distance and threw it together with the rat from last time.

After returning indoors, Jiang Yao felt like she had come back to life. The outside temperature had reached 55°C, and staying outside for even a minute longer was a matter of life and death for them.

When Jiang Yao changed her clothes and came to the living room, Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie had already changed and were sitting there, seemingly waiting for her.

After Jiang Yao sat down, Xiao Mu said, "Now that we know the monster's weakness, we won't choose melee combat next time."

"After all, close combat is not an advantage for us."

Shen Zhijie thought of Jiang Yao's marksmanship and couldn't help but smile, saying, "Jiang Yao, how about we have Xiao Mu teach you marksmanship starting tomorrow?"

"Although you look cool wielding a knife, for safety's sake, I think you should learn another life-saving skill."

"After all, we're here for you this time."

"If this were anyone else, I think you would probably be dead."

Jiang Yao realized that Shen Zhijie, that shameless man, was mocking her marksmanship.

Although it didn't hit her head, it was already quite good for her first shot; at least she didn't miss.

Seeing a faint blush on Jiang Yao's cheeks, Xiao Mu lifted his eyelids to look at Shen Zhijie. Shen Zhijie felt a chill and immediately fell silent.

Shen Zhijie understood that Xiao Mu was telling him to stop now and not go too far.

After all, Jiang Yao wasn't buying his act.

Shen Zhijie thought to himself, "She really is protective of her own!"

Xiao Mu glanced at his watch and, seeing that it was getting late, stood up and said, "Everyone, go back and get some rest!"

"After all, no one knows when this monster will come back in another wave."

He stopped beside Jiang Yao and said slowly, "I'll teach you how to use a gun tomorrow afternoon." After saying that, he turned and went upstairs to rest.

Seeing Xiao Mu leave, Shen Zhijie sneakily approached Jiang Yao and whispered in her ear in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Does this count as me saving you?"

"It's okay, if you say it doesn't count, then we'll start counting from next time." After saying that, he hummed a tune and went upstairs.

Jiang Yao watched Shen Zhijie's departing figure, clenched her fists at her sides, took a deep breath, and then stared sharply at his back, muttering softly, "Just you wait and see!"

The next morning, after getting up and washing up briefly, Jiang Yao went to the living room on the first floor to look for Xiao Mu.

Seeing that Jiang Yao was looking for Xiao Mu, Shen Zhijie pointed her in a direction and slowly said, "The person I arranged for you is the best marksman in our security team."

You'd better study hard!

Don't let me down.

Jiang Yao's eyes turned cold as she stared intently at Shen Zhijie, as if to say, "Say one more word and I'll tear you apart."

Seeing that the joke was going too far, Shen Zhijie chuckled twice and went back to his room.

When Jiang Yao found Xiao Mu, he was making adjustments to an indoor simulated shooting exercise.

Indoor simulated shooting uses replica guns, which does not produce exhaust fumes or noise, has minimal impact on the environment, and can better protect personal safety.

Looking at the scene in the simulated shooting room, and recalling the professional level of Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie when they fired the gun last night, one can't help but admire their professionalism.

As expected of security personnel specializing in engineering, they can make this indoor simulated shooting so professional; no one else can do that.

When Xiao Mu saw Jiang Yao walk in, he beckoned her to come to his side and explained the indoor simulated shooting training system to her.

He explained and demonstrated to her the usage of each gun, the shooting range, and the shooting posture and precautions for each gun.

Then, Jiang Yao was asked to stand in the shooting area with a pistol and practice shooting posture and aiming actions towards the bullseye on the screen.

After Jiang Yao adjusted her stance as he instructed, a deep, magnetic voice suddenly rang out almost next to her ear: "Like this, aim and fire."

Xiao Mu appeared behind her without her noticing and gently pulled her into his arms.

His left hand gently supported the back of Jiang Yao's left hand, while his right hand held her right hand tightly. He slowly adjusted her posture and then said softly, "Relax a little."

The man's warm breath sprayed onto her neck, and her skin began to feel faintly hot. Her earlobes were also gradually flushed with a light red.

Bang--

Jiang Yao snapped out of her daze and looked at the bullseye on the screen in front of her. It was actually a 10.

Xiao Mu stood behind her and slowly said, "Have you remembered everything I just taught you?"

All Jiang Yao could hear was Xiao Mu's whisper in her ear, but she didn't know what he said.

Thinking back to how Xiao Mu had stood behind her and taught her in a hugging posture, her movements became somewhat stiff when she tried to shoot again.

Seeing the blush on Jiang Yao's ears, Xiao Mu knew she was shy. A faint smile slowly appeared on his lips as he said, "You practice on your own first. I'll go check on how lunch is being prepared." With that, he turned and left.

Give Jiang Yao some independent space so she can practice on her own.

Seeing that Xiao Mu's lips were slightly upturned, indicating that she was in a good mood, Shen Zhijie joked, "It seems that I am very satisfied with the work I arranged for you."

"By the way, Jiang Yao is also just learning, so don't be as impatient as you were last time."

Thinking back to a mission in Haizhou, Xiao Mu was pursued by the Zhang family's daughter who wanted to learn shooting from him, but how he taught her scared her to tears.

Even now, I'm still afraid of Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu ignored Shen Zhijie's teasing and looked into the distance through the floor-to-ceiling window, coldly saying, "How did you know that monster's fatal weakness?"

Seeing Xiao Mu's serious expression, Shen Zhijie stopped joking and said, "It must be intuition!"

"Shooting at the head was an instinctive action for me."

"After all, last time we shot the monster all over its body, and it didn't seem to do anything."

"I guess the only part left to shoot was the head. As for shooting the sides of the head, that was just a coincidence."

"After all, you saw its condition at the time. After hitting one side of its head, half of the monster's limbs seemed to be out of control."

Xiao Mu looked at Shen Zhijie and the other man, their eyes meeting, and said, "Once Jiang Yao's shooting is fine, we'll move the remaining supplies."

"Move the remaining supplies away." Shen Zhijie said in disbelief, "You're not kidding."

"You know there are only three of us!"

Xiao Mu waved his hand and said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Shen Zhijie couldn't believe he wasn't heartbroken at the thought of his precious collection being taken away.

Since entering the indoor shooting simulator, Jiang Yao has spent all her time there except for eating, sleeping, and using the restroom.

When Xiao Mu and Shen Zhijie had nothing to do, they would come over and give Jiang Yao some pointers.

Jiang Yao looked at the bullseye on the screen in front of her; it was actually a 7-ring.

Xiao Mu gave high praise to Jiang Yao's 7-ring shot, as it is rare for someone to hit the 7-ring three times in a row in such a short period of time.
