Chapter 60 You're done!
After a morning of aiming training, Xu Ge's shooting proficiency increased by 3 points and is now 97/99.
At this rate, I can reach LV2 in the afternoon.
At noon, the kitchen truck still delivered meals. Due to time constraints, the quality of the meals was slightly worse than in the camp.
There happened to be quite a few strong army vehicles selling things outside the barbed wire, and many recruits went there to buy food during their lunch break.
Xu Ge found an empty tent, sat on the ground with his eyes closed, ready to take a nap. He didn't know where the little Si dog was taken by the chief instructor.
Footsteps were heard, and then a can of soda was thrown into his arms.
When he opened his eyes, Li Dongshui came over with a bag of snacks and drinks. He sat down next to him and complained, "I don't know why Lao Wang didn't come today. The food sold by others is terrible!"
Xu Ge said lazily, "If it tastes bad, why did you buy so much?"
"I'm tired of eating from the same pot."
Li Dongshui opened a bag of pig's trotters, took two bites, and said vaguely,
"That's because you can eat so much. Many people in our class went to buy instant noodles. Qi Ruibiao bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff by himself. His bag is almost full!"
"This guy, he messes around when the squad leader is not around, and he even dares to put things in his backpack. If the platoon leader on duty sees him, he might have to be disciplined again."
Xu Ge sat up straight, opened the soda, took a sip and asked, "Why did he buy so many things?"
"Who knows? Maybe he wants to save it for dinner."
Li Dongshui didn't care and changed the subject. "What are you thinking about here alone? Are you depressed because the chief instructor said this morning that you are not suitable to be a sniper?"
"If I can't do it, then I can't do it. Being a sniper isn't an easy job."
Xu Ge looked indifferent.
"I heard from the squad leader that it's freezing cold here in the northwest, and snipers often need to occupy commanding heights, where the ground is even colder. They have to lie still for over ten hours, and some even develop health problems from lying there!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at you, you're so sour!" Li Dongshui said with disdain, "It's like you don't even want to be one."
"I hadn't thought about it before, but the Chief of Staff said yesterday that there would be a medal for excellent shooting results. I wanted that, but my shooting skills are terrible."
Li Dongshui continued to gnaw on the pig's trotter. "What's so special about a medal from a recruit company? A military medal is more impressive!"
Xu Ge was somewhat helpless: "I just wanted to tell my family the good news. My dad was just nagging about how someone's kid won an award or something."
"Then just practice hard. If you can't hit 100, then hit 90. There's more than just one medal, right? Aren't there batches?"
Li Dongshui laughed when he said this.
"At worst, I can give you my medal. You can tell your dad it's yours."
Xu Ge closed his eyes and lay back: "Bah! I don't care!"
. . .
. . .
At 1:30, the afternoon training started on time.
Before dinner, everyone's guns were neatly placed in their shooting positions. When it was Xu Ge's turn to get his gun, he found a few pieces of mud on the muzzle.
"You poked the muzzle of the gun into the ground?" Kai Youmu looked at Xu Ge's gun barrel and his face became stern.
"No, I checked it before eating. Someone must have replaced my gun!" Xu Ge blurted out.
"Stop making excuses!" With Du Hu gone, Kai Youmu naturally had to take on the responsibilities of squad leader. "After the training is over, clean your gun yourself!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge didn't talk back and agreed obediently, but in his heart he cursed the person who changed the gun a hundred times.
Why do you have to change to mine when you can change to anyone else's?
But since Kaiyoumu has already spoken, Xu Ge doesn't want to dwell on this matter anymore.
Probably out of consideration for Luo Shan, Lei Shen came to the first row in the afternoon and stayed for a while to help the new recruits answer their questions, especially paying special attention to Xu Ge and Li Dongshui, and Kai Youmu also received some pointers.
As Xu Ge expected, his shooting skills were successfully upgraded to LV2 before the end of the training.
Shooting: LV2 (3/199).
Around five o'clock, the training ended and each squad and platoon organized to hand over their guns.
The people in Group 1 were at the end of the line because they had to wait for Xu Ge to clean his gun.
Everyone else was sitting outside the tent, resting and chatting, while Xu Ge was alone inside, laying a cloth under the tent and wiping his gun while cursing.
Situations like this where mud has gotten in are difficult to deal with and require repeated rubbing several times before oil can be applied.
"Woo-woof!"
While I was wiping the gun, little Siquan came in and went straight to the gun cloth.
"Go away! Go play somewhere else and don't waste my time!" Xu Ge scolded. He didn't want to delay everyone from going back to eat because of himself.
"Xu Ge, the chief instructor wants you to go over!" Li Dongshui stuck his head in and shouted.
Xu Ge was a little embarrassed: "Now? I'm cleaning my gun."
"Go quickly and wipe it when you come back, in case something important happens?" Qi Ruibiao reminded.
"Oh well."
Xu Ge stood up and went straight to the Thunder God's tent.
"Report!"
"Come in."
"Chief Instructor, are you looking for me?" Xu Ge asked.
Thor sat on a chair, holding a note in his hand: "Someone reported you for maliciously damaging weapons. What's going on?"
Xu Ge was stunned at first, then replied: "Reporting to the chief instructor, I don't know who replaced my gun, I am cleaning the mud in the barrel."
Thor was also stunned for a moment: "Just mud got into the barrel? No other damage?"
"No!"
"Okay, I get it. Next time you train, be sure to take good care of your gun!"
"yes!"
Xu Ge looked at Lei Shen, "Chief Instructor, who reported me?"
"I don't know. I just came back and saw a note on the table." Thor waved his hand, "It seems you have a bad reputation. Go back and clean your gun."
"yes!"
Xu Ge ran back to the tent, carefully oiled the barrel of the gun and prepared to assemble it.
The next second, he was stunned.
. . .
. . .
"What's wrong?"
A few minutes later, Kaiyoumu entered the tent and glanced at the parts on the gun cloth. "Have you finished cleaning? If you have, put them back together quickly."
"Deputy squad leader, the air guide is missing." Xu Ge said in a low voice.
Kaiyoumu thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"
"The air guide is gone, look!"
Xu Ge pointed to the air intake hole under the barrel, and the gas ring inside had disappeared.
Kaiyoumu immediately looked around: "Did it fall somewhere? Look for it quickly! Why the hell are you taking that thing apart for no reason?"
"I didn't tear it down, I don't know how it disappeared!"
"Bullshit! You can't fall down by yourself without removing the air guide!"
The two searched in the tent for a long time, and finally Kaiyoumu confirmed that the gas guide of the gun was really lost.
"Deputy squad leader, what should we do? Should I just pack up the gun like this?" Xu Ge asked.
Kaiyoumu stared at Xu Ge blankly: "You are finished, and I am finished too!"
Xu Ge: ???
"Wait here!" After saying this, Kaiyoumu turned around and walked out of the tent.
A moment later, Luo Shan came in and started asking Xu Ge, "Where did you lose the Qi? How did you lose it? When did you lose it?"
Xu Ge lowered his head and said, "Platoon Leader, if I knew where I threw it, wouldn't that be considered throwing it away..."
"You..."
Luo Shan was on the verge of going berserk. "Search! Everyone, come and look! Don't go back if you can't find them!"
All the people in the team were called into the tent and searched every corner carefully.
At this moment, Qi Ruibiao seemed to remember something: "I think I saw the white tiger carrying something out of the gate."
