Chapter 345 Ability Test "Ningning, come with me."
Ji Shuyun had arrived ahead of time and brought Xia Zhining to the outpost.
Looking through the high-powered binoculars at the outpost, Xia Zhining saw as far as the eye could see, a continuous range of mountains and forests covered with dense vegetation.
Ji Shuyun put down his binoculars, his tone grave: "We're very close to the border here. Beyond that line lies the real gray area."
"We are facing drug traffickers, private armed groups, and all sorts of desperados."
Xia Zhining felt a deep sense of respect when she thought about how such a vicious situation was the daily routine of border anti-drug police and patrol teams.
At this moment, Shao Yi, the commander in charge of border security and coordination, strode over.
He stopped, gave the brother and sister a standard salute, and then succinctly explained the plan: "The action plan is finalized. We will set off in three days to pick up the undercover agent."
"Your itinerary will be very tight over the next three days. You will need to familiarize yourself with the surrounding terrain and environment as soon as possible and master basic wilderness first aid skills."
"And learn the precautions for surviving and moving around in a lawless place like Sanbianpo."
The next three days were indeed packed with preparations.
One of the key training areas is weapons handling.
Shao Yi personally led them to the makeshift firing range at the outpost.
Inside the training ground, other soldiers were training intensely, with gunfire erupting intermittently.
When Xia Zhining, a new face and especially a young woman, appeared at the shooting range, she almost immediately attracted a lot of attention.
A seemingly frail young girl has appeared at a firing range in the border region. Who is she? What are the higher-ups thinking? Is she really not here to die?
You should know that everyone who appears at this firing range is carrying out a life-or-death mission.
Shao Yi got straight to the point: "The exact number of people involved in this operation has not yet been determined."
"It depends on the assessment results of your two abilities, especially Expert Xia's. Should we assign a team to work closely with you, or just send a shadow squad to provide support from the outside?"
Xia Zhining nodded. Her brother got full marks in all aspects, but she wasn't a professional fighter; it would be good enough if her combat ability didn't hold her back.
Shao Yi: "One issue is the lack of chemistry between you and your brother/sister and the unfamiliar teammates. More importantly,"
He glanced at Xia Zhining, his gaze pointed.
"The more people involved in the operation, the larger the target, and the higher the risk of exposure."
Xia Zhining couldn't help but feel nervous.
After becoming a special consultant for the police department, in addition to persisting in combat training, she also systematically studied firearms knowledge under the arrangement of the police, and was no stranger to the structure and usage of firearms.
But "knowing" and "mastering" are two different things. Shooting accuracy requires a lot of practice with bullets, and she clearly lacks enough live-fire practice time.
The next step was a live-fire test.
Xia Zhining gripped the gun, aimed, and pulled the trigger; her movements were standard but awkward.
Bullets flew out one after another, but the bullet holes on the target paper were sparse and scattered.
The onlookers exchanged glances. One of them shook his head and muttered in a low voice, all thinking that it was some leader's daughter who had been sent to experience the atmosphere of actual combat and get a taste of guns.
Just then, a sentry jogged over to report: "Report! The animal expert team has arrived in their special vehicle!"
Xia Zhining's eyes lit up, and she immediately looked towards the entrance.
The car door opened, and a smug black figure flapped its wings and flew out first—it was Boss Crow!
