Chapter 237: Firearms Knowledge
During afternoon practice, Gu Qingjiu could distinctly feel that Instructor Mu was looking at her in a strange manner.
It was as if he was looking at a source of gossip or something along those lines.
But she had no idea what she had, which was worth gossiping.
Furthermore, the afternoon training was already so strenuous and almost to the point of collapse.
Ten-kilograms weight-carrying around the mountain training.
It was a training where they carried a ten-kilogram weight as they ran laps around the mountain.
They did not have to run fast, but doing it for an hour was extremely strenuous.
Gu Qingjiu couldn’t stand these kinds of training the most.
Even if it had been a few months, she barely got used to it.
Compared to these, Gu Qingjiu still preferred indoor practices.
Which included combat practice, calculation practice, etc. These were included in the advanced training camp, too.
That afternoon, they had an outdoor practice. They scheduled a firearm knowledge lesson for the next day, while they scheduled the target shooting practice thrice a week.
As compared to the new recruits’ training camp, the advanced training camp had more lessons that Gu Qingjiu never came in contact with before.
It gave off a feeling that this type of training was for all-rounded elite soldiers.
After an afternoon practice, Gu Qingjiu returned to her dormitory after eating and was severely exhausted.
Because of the long training, she was sweating a lot.
She laid on her bed after she had reached her dormitory. But then, the sticky feeling of her perspiration was incredibly uncomfortable.
And so, she dragged her fatigued body to the showers.
It was only when night time came that she realized that her roommate Qi Xiaoran was not back yet.
This roommate of hers felt mysterious to her.
Gu Qingjiu finally identified those people who came looking for trouble as recruits from the First Unit, but they were not around lately.
She didn’t think too much into it, falling asleep after she had packed.
Qi Xiaoran finally came back in the middle of the night.
Gu Qingjiu only remembered waking up to open the door for her while half awake.
When she woke up the next morning, she found out that Qi Xiaoran was awake as well.
The two of them paused. Gu Qingjiu greeted first, “Good morning.”
Qi Xiaoran stiffened. Her eyes looked down before she turned away to freshen up at the balcony, not replying to Gu Qingjiu’s greeting.
Gu Qingjiu shrugged, not minding much before she started washing up.
Afterward, she rushed down to gather downstairs.
That morning, their lesson would be about firearms.
The instructor in-charge of the lecture wasn’t Instructor Mu, but another person.
It felt like she was a student again. It was like the feeling of sitting in a classroom lecture.
The only difference was, there were guns laid down in front of each person.
Gu Qingjiu and Tang Yuyu were in the same group because Ying Huan arranged for Tang Yuyu to guide her.
Gu Qingjiu felt that this arrangement would suffice.
As the instructor continued with his lecture, Tang Yuyu showed Gu Qingjiu how to assemble and disassemble different guns.
The technique was something already taught beforehand, so the instructor only discussed the different reasons and knowledge of firearms instead.
“When you hold the stock of the gun, you must first…”
Tang Yuyu explained as she showed Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu followed her hand actions while Tang Yuyu did it.
Learning was mimicking.
She watched Tang Yuyu disassemble it and followed how she did it.
Within a few brief minutes, she already had a grasp of the key points to it.
Tang Yuyu dismantled the guns and assembled them again. She then placed the guns down and pointed to them with her chin. “Qingjiu, did you get it? If so, try it once yourself. If not, I can show it to you again.”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head. “It’s okay, I will try it myself. Help me see if I’m doing anything wrong.”
