Chapter 394: Taking Part In the Competition For the First Time
“The topography of the mountain forest is complex, and it occupies a large area. You saw that today.
“If by the time it end and you don’t manage to find your way back, there will be guide lights on your outfit guiding you back. If you get eliminated halfway, the same thing goes. So there’s no need to worry.
“When you shoot, no matter which part of the person you hit, it will count. But not if the bullet grazed past that person.
“That’s it!”
After explaining, Lu Yixin patted Gu Qingjiu on her shoulders, indicating that she was done putting on the outfit.
These were old rules, and Lu Yimei usually wouldn’t talk about them specifically. But Gu Qingjiu was new.
Hence why she explained in such great detail.
After Gu Qingjiu and her teammates put on their ‘combat uniform,’ they appeared black from head to toe. In the dark of the night, if one didn’t focus attention on their surroundings, they might not notice these people squatting in a certain spot.
The glass shield in front of the helmet was lowered and it enveloped Gu Qingjiu’s entire face within, making one unable to see it clearly.
The thing is…
It was too hot…
After all, it was a thick set of clothes, and it felt terribly uncomfortable wearing it for a long time.
Thankfully, it wasn’t yet summer completely. There was still a mild breeze around them, making it more bearable.
Lu Yimei led the team to the foot of the mountain where the other two military schools’ players were gathered.
From a great distance, she saw the people from the other two schools.
Since all of them belonged to military schools, they were more or dressed similarly. This made it all the more difficult for them to differentiate.
But the combat uniforms they were wearing differed slightly in designs, though their functions were identical.
“Hello, Commander Lu!”
“Commander Chen, Commander Yang!”
The three commanders of the three military schools finally met.
The three of them saluted each other, and the rest of them also did a salute. The scene was quite astounding.
Gu Qingjiu also realized that the other two commanders were both males.
However, she had always thought that the legendary sharpshooter Yin Ruoyi was the commander of the National Defense University.
It turned out that he wasn’t.
Instead, it was a male with rather ordinary looks.
But Gu Qingjiu could feel that the students from National Defense University seemed to have an arrogant air about them.
She had no idea though if it was because they were the top military school or some other reason.
After the commanders exchanged pleasantries, the others started inspecting their equipment.
Lu Yibin handed Gu Qingjiu a gun. “This is the 139, the same model used during daytime hunting. You ought to be used to it by now. One magazine can hold eight bullets at one time. There are 32 more bullets in your pocket. Once you finish your bullets, you won’t be able to attack and can only defend. So, only fire after assessing the situation. Don’t easily fire a shot if you don’t have absolute confidence.”
Sometimes some members would get rash and fire five to six shots at one go, depleting all forty bullets within ten minutes.
Following that, all one could do was wait to be attacked.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Got it. Vice-Commander, I will try my best.”
She would try her best to defend, then find an opportunity to shoot.
After the rules were explained, all the members started preparing themselves.
Once the three commanders finished exchanging pleasantries, they started announcing for the members to enter the mountain.
They wore special ear mics for the commanders to relay instructions to them.
But most of the time, the commanders wouldn’t say anything.
Hence, the members could only count on themselves to figure out the situation.
This was also a method to create nervousness and induce a sense of thrill.
