Xiao Lingfeng stopped when they were almost at the top of the mountain. "Here's a gun for you to practice shooting with. I've fitted it with a silencer."
“Okay,” Jian Ning took it and gestured with it, not knowing how to use it, since she had never touched this thing before.
"When shooting, you need to find the right aiming point, mainly the lower edge of small targets and the center of large targets."
Carefully observe the impact point and be sure to correct any deviations. External wind force and air movement will affect the bullet's impact point to varying degrees.
"Keep your hand steady on the gun, control your breathing, and do as I say."
Jian Ning listened attentively to Xiao Lingfeng's explanation. She grasped the concepts exceptionally quickly, hitting a sparrow in the tree with her very first shot. Her accuracy was impeccable.
"Good. Once you've mastered this gun, learning the rest will be much easier." Xiao Lingfeng felt a great sense of accomplishment. It was a pity he was no longer in the army; otherwise, he would have recommended such a promising shooting talent to the country.
The two spent almost a whole day on the mountain, and Xiao Lingfeng roasted wild rabbit for lunch.
The two of them ate together, and the taste was especially amazing. After all, Jian Ning's space had all kinds of seasonings. In addition to wild rabbit, there was also hot beef bone soup.
Fragrant, white steamed buns.
Before heading down the mountain, Jian Ning didn't rest either; she cut down a lot more trees and stored them in her spatial storage.
After arriving home, he gave Jian Anping a few of the rabbits and pheasants he had hunted, and then went into his spatial dimension to begin cultivating.
It hasn't come out for three days straight. It directly broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Right now, it can communicate with the Immortal Abode, making it tremble slightly, but it still can't enter. It's truly worrying.
If I can't produce the Foundation Establishment Pill, it's useless even if I cultivate to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. In this world, it's a joke to think I can refine medicine myself. I'll have to wait until the monkey month to grow those spiritual herbs!
But there's nothing I can do about being anxious. I can only take it slowly; who knows, maybe one day this immortal abode will suddenly become usable again. I guess I used up too much spiritual energy when I traveled through time, otherwise it wouldn't be like this.
After emerging from the space, I took out my walkie-talkie and called Jian Anping, but there was no response. It seemed that everyone had gone out to work.
The room was as cold as an ice cave; she hadn't lit a fire in the past three days. She glanced at the thermometer; it was almost noon. Outside, the sun was high in the sky, but inside it read -33 degrees Celsius.
Needless to say, it was even colder outside; you could hear the howling wind even through the window.
She went back into the space and changed into the thermostatic clothes. This was high-tech; she had specially ordered it from abroad when she was stocking up on supplies.
This dress alone cost her several million dollars. It has sensor patches inside that are extremely elastic and soft, allowing the skin to maintain the most comfortable temperature.
The description says that this outfit alone uses heat transfer technology, nanotechnology, and stretchable electronics. It was developed by many scientists with great effort, and there are fewer than 100 pieces in the world. It is a limited edition.
However, not many people bought it, since people hadn't yet experienced its benefits, so she got a great deal.
After putting on another coat, I didn't feel cold at all when I went outside.
Fully armed with a hat and gloves, I took the elevator downstairs.
There were hardly any people walking on the street, and white smoke was billowing out of the buildings across the street.
This means people are starting to light fires at home for warmth. I wonder if there are enough trees on the mountain to last the winter.
If all the trees are cut down, the next extreme cold snap will be unbearable.
Because she wasn't wearing ice skates, Jian Ning wasn't walking very fast. Just as she reached the residential area next to Da Zhuang's house, she heard a thud and heard someone fall from above, their clothes torn and hanging haphazardly on their body.
It landed on the ice not far in front of her, and many of the snowflakes that flew up flew over.
When they reached Jian Ning, they all floated down lightly, as if something was preventing them from getting closer.
Watching as bright red blood slowly seeped from the head of the person in front of me.
Jian Ning didn't stop walking; she simply changed direction and started walking in a different direction.
Falling from that height, there's absolutely no chance of survival. I just don't understand how such a young girl could be so foolish.
As long as you are hardworking and willing to endure hardship, you won't starve to death.
"Hey, how can you have no compassion at all? The person just fell right in front of you, how can you just leave without even asking?"
A group of people rushed out of the residential area. The man in the lead didn't even glance at the girl lying on the ground, but went straight towards Jian Ning.
"What? Her death has nothing to do with me, a mere passerby?"
Jian Ning stopped and looked back. These men were all burly and strong. Although they were wearing thick down jackets and hats, you could tell from their eyes that they were no pushovers.
She must have killed someone. It seems this girl had no other choice but to jump from the building when she was trying to escape. Looking at her eyes, which she still couldn't close, Jian Ning's anger began to spread.
"Miss, don't be nervous. We don't mean anything by it. We just want you to stay and be a witness. This person jumped off the building on their own, so it has nothing to do with us."
It's so cold outside, why don't you come inside with us to warm up? The police will be here soon to investigate. Could you please write a statement or something?
The slightly shorter man standing at the front rolled his eyes and came up with an excuse.
"Okay! I'll go over there and warm up!" Jian Ning didn't hesitate at all and started walking into the building.
"Fifth brother, go and handle this," the short man said.
Immediately, a man went out and walked towards the girl.
Jian Ning didn't turn around; she knew perfectly well what he meant by how he handled things. It was pathetic; he died without even a proper burial. He'd probably just be thrown into that ice hole and forgotten.
These days, we've been learning from Commander Gao's method of digging ice blocks from the floodwaters to retrieve supplies.
Anything not on a proper road surface was dug up, turning it into a tunnel. In some places, they even dug down to the ground floor, showing the power of the people.
Lost in thought, I followed a few men into the building and took the elevator all the way to the thirteenth floor.
Upon entering the house, I saw no warmth whatsoever. There was only a brazier burning. The food wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap.
The balcony window was still open, and the wind was howling in. It was clear that the woman had jumped out from there.
