Chapter 28 p1
The lively atmosphere instantly froze.
Everyone in the car looked at her, stunned and shocked, at a loss. Zhou Baoping said weakly, “…That, are the two people we’re supposed to rescue your relatives?”
Meng Jin froze, pursing her lips and not speaking.
Feng Yexing looked left and right and also felt that it was unlikely. They had seen the two target individuals. One of them was particularly famous and had been on television many times. He didn’t look like Meng Jin.
Especially since Meng Jin was actually thin and small. Although her height was okay, her complexion was not good.
Her looks were not like a student from a performance academy.
If you were to say she was starved like this, her clothes seemed to be new styles. She didn’t eat as happily as Ji Yang, and she didn’t like to talk. When she finally opened her mouth, it was to be sarcastic.
She didn’t even know what Xie Muzhi had brought her here for.
Just as she thought of the boss, Xie Muzhi appeared out of nowhere, frowning at the scene, and said in a low voice, “Meng Jin, come down!”
“Hiss…” someone gasped softly.
Xie Muzhi had always been relatively gentle. He had a natural sense of distance, but he was usually easy to get along with. Suddenly becoming serious and angry, he was so scary.
Meng Jin was also a little scared, and a little annoyed. She wiped her tears forcefully in frustration and buried her head.
The others looked at each other. Liang Yuan broke the silence. “It’s fine, continue eating. Don’t mind these things.”
“Oh.”
After all, there were many young people, and there was also Zhou Baoping, who couldn’t stay idle. So, before long, everyone became lively again. He could chat with anyone, and it seemed he could talk about any topic.
However, Ji Yang still did not participate.
She had heard what Meng Jin had said about her, but it was not worth paying attention to words that were just random speculation. There was no official mission now. If she were to maintain the high level of vigilance she wanted at all times, could she still hold on?
And since the other party had not really harmed her interests, Ji Yang just ignored it.
It was the apocalypse. One day less was one day less. Of course, she would treat eating, drinking, and sleeping as the most important things.
The few people who were chatting also admired her for this.
She was indeed a ruthless person. In this situation, she could still remain calm and not even move. Her mentality was strong.
And besides Ji Yang, there were actually several other people who had been silent all along, even more stable than Ji Yang. They must be even more formidable big shots. Many people were secretly sizing them up.
Then they found that there was a lot more meat in these few people’s dishes!
As expected of big shots. They even have the privilege of having a small stove. How enviable!
Gao Yan was secretly looking, especially at the person next to him. He seemed to have a poor appetite. His bowl was full of meat, and after eating for a long time, there was still half left!
Zheng Shancheng saw the young man next to him looking at him and was puzzled for a moment. Then he looked at the meat in his bowl that he hadn’t finished and understood. He used the other end of his chopsticks to pick up a few pieces of meat and passed them over. “Here, eat.”
Gao Yan: …
The handsome young man’s face immediately turned red. He wanted to explain, but he was at a loss for words. When he came to his senses, Zheng Shancheng was already eating silently again. He opened his mouth, but he was too embarrassed to disturb him again.
The others, seeing this, secretly snickered.
About five minutes later, Xie Muzhi and Meng Jin came back. Everyone silently observed and found that the two of them seemed to have returned to normal, with no strange expressions.
They had probably been appeased.
Ever since Feng Yexing had found out that Ji Yang was her savior, she had been much closer to her. Seeing this, she subconsciously turned her head and moved closer to Ji Yang, muttering, “I didn’t expect Boss Xie to be so gentle. He can actually comfort people?”
Ji Yang, who was lying down and sleeping: …
For so many years, it was the first time she had met a girl who would whisper to her. Should she respond or not? After thinking about it, she still replied, “I don’t think his attitude can comfort people.”
He was so fierce. Meng Jin was probably scared, so she didn’t dare to continue to make a fuss.
.
After eating, the car quickly started again. They had thought they could continue to sleep in the afternoon, but Xie Muzhi called everyone to open the things under their respective seats. Everyone did as they were told and saw that there were all kinds of weapons inside!
Pistols, bullets, grenades, smoke bombs…
The quantity was not large, but the variety was great.
The car was immediately filled with a chorus of “holy crap.” Due to the restrictions, most of the people here had never seen these things before, and for a moment, they almost jumped up. Zhou Baoping covered his butt and said in a panic, “Oh my god, I was actually sitting on this before? What have I done to deserve this!”
“It’s so scary. Fortunately, I’m not heavy. Otherwise, what if I had crushed a grenade?”
The others: …
Very good, this idiot! If grenades were so easy to crush, they wouldn’t have been placed here!
Xie Muzhi also couldn’t help but laugh. “One gun per person. For the rest, take what you can use and carry with you. Otherwise, don’t take it.”
Everyone was still excited, but their hands didn’t stop. They quickly picked up the guns and then picked and chose from the other things to find what was suitable for them. Then, Xie Muzhi explained to them how to use the guns and grenades. These were relatively simple. This group of people had more or less touched similar things, so they quickly mastered them.
Ji Yang also took some like them. She took one gun, more bullets, and more grenades and explosive packs. She could hide them, but it was not easy for others to hide them.
In the end, there was still more than half of the ammunition left.
Especially the grenades and explosive packs, not many people took them.
And the few who were more silent, as well as Meng Jin, took one of each and looked at them over and over.
The afternoon was spent in class.
Ji Yang had heard all of these things, but when the class was taught again, she still tried her best to keep her eyes open and listen.
It was just that she was not as active as the other few novices. They kept asking questions. Not to mention, the questions they asked were quite interesting and could always make her laugh, so that she successfully stayed awake for the whole afternoon.
In the middle of it, she also used her consciousness to check on Xixi in her space.
Xixi was very adapted to the environment in the space. It would patrol from time to time, check the condition of the poultry, and then eat, drink, and lie down to sleep.
During the boring lecture, she would go to her space to cut grass. The fresh grass was divided equally among the cattle, sheep, and rabbits, and she continued to look forward to these guys giving her a surprise.
It was just that Meng Jin, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, seemed to have been observing her all along and immediately noticed her distraction. She glanced at her, and the dissatisfaction and disgust in her eyes were almost overflowing.
The afternoon passed in Xie Muzhi’s lecture. Feng Yexing and the others were dizzy from listening, but they were also very excited. Who would have thought that they would be able to touch guns in their lifetime?!
After the theoretical knowledge was taught, they were also allowed to fire a few empty shots to get a feel for it. They were also taught how to quickly change the magazine, load, and how to aim. It wasn’t until 5:30 in the afternoon that the car stopped.
Dinner time!
The master chefs were very fast at cooking. It was estimated that they had started to process the ingredients in the car. As soon as the car stopped, they could immediately stir-fry. So, just as Ji Yang and the others had gotten some fresh air, they heard the call for dinner.
Lunch was meat, and dinner also had meat. Braised potatoes with cured meat, and tomatoes and eggs were all dishes that went well with rice.
Ji Yang didn’t care at all that Meng Jin had complained that she was too active when it came to eating. She was still at the front of the line. This time, Meng Jin was not behind her, but when she had gotten her food, she saw that she was also in the line.
The two of them looked at each other. Meng Jin snorted coldly again and turned her face away.
Good, she’s shut up. Ji Yang was very satisfied and went up to the car to eat with light steps.
There was only half an hour for dinner because they were going to the wild for target practice next.
It was not known whether it had been planned long ago or if it was just a coincidence. The place where the car was parked was a forest in the distance. The heavy snow had submerged the forest, and the freezing rain had also crushed many trees, so that this forest, even though it was covered with a layer of ‘crystal sugar coating’, still looked a bit battered.
Although it was very late, because of the ice and snow, the whole world was actually still very bright. Xie Muzhi led them into the depths of the forest. “Let’s see if we can find some game. If not, we’ll just shoot at the trees.”
“We definitely can!”
“I doubt it. In this weather, how many wild animals would have frozen to death? Those that didn’t freeze to death would have starved to death.”
“Who knows? Maybe we’ll be lucky.”
But it turned out to be true. A gray shadow flashed by, directly setting off the whole scene. Xie Muzhi immediately told everyone to shut up and led them to follow quietly. When they reached the depths of the forest, they encountered several wild rabbits!
Ji Yang could clearly feel the breathing of the people around her become heavy.
Xie Muzhi said in a low voice, “Each person has three chances. We’ll go in the order of the roll call. Put on the silencers.”
“Yes!” the others also replied in a low voice.
The first one to go was Liang Yuan. Perhaps because he was a little older, he aimed at two rabbits in succession. After three shots, the rabbits didn’t even have a scratch. He immediately retreated with a red face.
The next one went up.
Ji Yang was a little worried. Looking at the way this group of people were so cautious before they fired, if these rabbits couldn’t find anything to eat here, would they run away?
She was still thinking of shooting two for an extra meal.
Soon, another one went down, and still didn’t hit. This was a very normal thing. Unless you were exceptionally talented, it was really difficult for this group of people who had just touched a gun to succeed in hunting at such a long distance in a short period of time.
Xie Muzhi let them try, but it was just to let them get a feel for it and know what it felt like to fire a gun.
So that they wouldn’t be in a mess and accidentally hurt themselves.
“Next,” Xie Muzhi said.
Just as Feng Yexing was about to go forward, Meng Jin suddenly spoke, “Let Ji Yang go. Didn’t she say she was good at killing people? Killing rabbits should be even easier, right?”
Her eyes were fixed on Ji Yang, as if she wanted to see what she was all about.
The crowd paused. Feng Yexing hesitated whether to go over.
The others’ eyes lit up, and they were really a little expectant. The main reason was that the first few weaklings had all failed. The rabbits were already running scattered. If they ran a few more steps, they would have no hope at all.
They could still practice shooting with trees, but if the rabbits were gone, they couldn’t have an extra meal!
However, they all knew that Meng Jin had ill intentions, so no one dared to speak.
But Xie Muzhi directly asked, “You’re up?”
Ji Yang nodded, took the gun, and went forward, loading and preparing to aim.
Feng Yexing immediately retreated.
But just as Ji Yang went over, the two closest rabbits started to hop in other directions. Feng Yexing’s heart immediately rose. The next second, there was a slight “thump” sound. Before she could react, there were two more sounds.
And in front, three rabbits fell one after another.
After shooting, Ji Yang neatly put away her gun. The whole process took only one or two minutes.
The noise was not loud, and the speed was fast, so that the few rabbits next to them seemed not to have noticed and were still looking for food on their own.
The ice and snow had submerged the land. Although there was little to eat, the crowns of the big trees had also been lowered. Everything was frozen, and the green leaves were also frozen, so they could still eat a little something.
“Wow!” a chorus of small exclamations.
“That’s too fast!”
“Wow, these rabbits are ours! Big shot is awesome!”
Feng Yexing’s back straightened. She recognized Ji Yang as her savior and naturally defended her. So, she immediately turned to look at Meng Jin. “Are you satisfied now?”
She had thought that Meng Jin would run away in shame, since she was the one who had started this. She didn’t expect that after a brief moment of surprise, she looked at Ji Yang with a complicated expression and muttered, “It’s okay.”
Feng Yexing’s eyes widened. She didn’t seem to expect Meng Jin to be so thick-skinned and to be able to say such a thing. “It’s okay? How good are you?! Why don’t you try?”
Only then did Meng Jin’s face turn red, and she was a little annoyed.
Xie Muzhi suddenly spoke, “Feng Yexing, it’s your turn.”
Feng Yexing shut up and looked at Xie Muzhi with a resentful expression. So it was to defend Meng Jin. She pouted. In fact, the one who came to build up her resume was Meng Jin, right?
Ji Yang didn’t pay attention to these things. A verbal dispute was okay occasionally, but too much of it was annoying. She was looking at the pistol. She had bought a lot of them abroad herself, but she hadn’t used a domestic one yet.
And this gun felt really good.
The foreign guns she had bought were definitely not the best. The ones that could be sold in large quantities on the market were mostly models that had been replaced. But the one in her hand now was probably a new model, even better than the ones she had come into contact with at the base in her previous life!
I wonder if I have to return this thing after the mission is over?
While she was pondering here, on the other side, Feng Yexing had also gotten two rabbits. One of them was not hit in a vital spot. The rabbit’s struggle before it died had disturbed the other rabbits, and the little rabbits immediately scattered and fled.
Just as the group was anxious and disappointed, and were practicing with trees as targets, a few more rabbits came.
The remaining people were even more excited, and they pondered over and over.
In the end, they had gotten a total of twelve rabbits.
Among them, Meng Jin and Zheng Shancheng had basically gotten one each. Their aim was surprisingly okay. They were the ones with the best aim in this group, besides Feng Yexing. Ji Yang had watched them for a while from behind and always felt that these few people seemed to have been trained before. Their shooting posture was quite skilled, much higher than the real novices like Yan Cheng.
As if sensing Ji Yang’s gaze, Meng Jin suddenly looked over. Their eyes met. The excitement of a successful hunt on Meng Jin’s face disappeared by half. She pouted lightly and turned her face away.
Even if Ji Yang was strong, she didn’t like Ji Yang. It was clearly a very dangerous mission, and someone was going to die for it, but she had no sense of urgency at all, as if she didn’t care at all.
