Chapter 293: Terrifying Talent
The next day, on the large shooting range, new recruits from different specializations went into the range in several batches for practice.
However, the one person who should be around had yet to make her appearance.
Xiong Xuejian gazed at his surroundings and didn’t see Gu Qingjiu who was ordered to practice in the shooting range.
He frowned slightly, wondering if that lass was too tired and couldn’t take it anymore.
These days, because of Commanding Officer Qin’s order, Gu Qingjiu had been practicing until midnight every day.
As the instructor of the shooting range, Xiong Xuejian naturally could see the state Gu Qingjiu was in when she practiced.
It was as though that lass didn’t know what fatigue was. After she practiced for a long time she would rest for a while, and after resting for a while, she would begin again.
But she was indeed talented. Xiong Xuejian had been constantly watching her these few days, and never once saw her completely missing the target.
Even if she didn’t manage to hit the bullseye, Gu Qingjiu would probably take a shorter time to achieve that than the other students.
She seemed to have a special talent in this area.
“Instructor Xiong, if Gu Qingjiu doesn’t come today, should we let other students practice with the target number 3?”
An instructional coach for the shooting class walked over and asked Xiong Xuejian for his opinion.
Target number 3 was reserved for Gu Qingjiu’s sole use these few days. Hence, the other students naturally didn’t get to practice at it.
“Yes, show me the results for target number 3 first.”
Xiong Xuejian suddenly had inconceivable speculation.
What if she didn’t come because she already hit the bullseye?
But that was impossible. If she hit the bullseye, she should continue to strengthen her training.
She couldn’t possibly have given up on practicing just because she hit the bullseye once?
The instructional coach did as he was told.
Within several minutes, the instructional coach came walking over.
There was clearly shock on his face. “Instructor Xiong, look…”
When Xiong Xuejian saw his countenance, his heart trembled all of a sudden. He then took the electronic report for the specific target from him.
The most recent 100 shooting results were indicated on it.
It could clearly be seen that before the last 50 tries, the third, fifth, and seventh rings were hit. However, at the 67th try, suddenly the tenth ring was hit.
The scary thing was, for the subsequent ten odd tries, either the ninth or the tenth ring was hit.
And as for the most recent 15 tries, all shots landed on the tenth ring.
Xiong Xuejian looked extremely shocked. In an astounding voice, he asked, “Are you sure there isn’t a problem with the testing equipment?”
The instructional coach shook his head. “I had the same doubt as you, so I sent someone to check on it. There’s nothing wrong with the equipment. And the bullet traces on the target more or less corresponded to the results… The latest traces on target number 3 all fell on the tenth ring.
What did this mean?
Such a bizarre outcome had never been witnessed in the school.
A direct jump from the seventh ring to the tenth ring.
Furthermore, towards the end, it consistently hit the best result.
It was considered excellent to consistently hit the eighth ring for a hundred-meters target.
Xiong Xuejian had to pay special attention to outstanding students.
But now all of those last shots landed on the tenth ring…
Xiong Xuejian closed the test equipment with a solemn expression on his face. “I need to see the Chief Commanding Officer.”
The instructional coach also nodded. “Do you need me to get the surveillance records? If someone had helped her…”
“I feel that she isn’t that stupid. When the time comes, she will be tested by the Commanding Officer Qin and not someone else.”
Anyone with a normal IQ wouldn’t do something as stupid as getting someone to help her.
But if it was real, Gu Qingjiu’s talent in target shooting wasn’t just scary.
It would be terrifying.
