Chapter 12: Lin Shu VS He Chenguang, Who Is The Better Sniper? (II)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
There were a total of 13 challengers, and a total of 10 people had been eliminated!!
Among them, seven veteran snipers were eliminated, leaving only one staff sergeant named Xu Li!
The original five veteran snipers, with the exception of Lin Shu and He Chenguang, were completely wiped out. This result was beyond everyone’s expectations. They did not expect these snipers to lose and be eliminated on the 700m shooting range. What was even more unexpected was that these two recruits were still advancing to the next round!
These were two new recruits!
Not only did they advance all the way, but they even made it to the finals. Xu Li was the only one left among the seasoned soldiers of the Sharpshooter Division.
“No, no, no. It wouldn’t turn into a fight between the two recruits, right?”
“F*ck, then we really embarrassed ourselves. The Sharpshooter 4th Division Sniper Competition, in the finals, two of us became two private soldiers fighting for first place… If the other divisions heard about this, they would mock us!”
“How did they manage to do it? These two recruits are crazy!”
“Old Xu, you can do it! Don’t be suppressed by two new recruits!”
“Squad Leader Xu, do your best! Hold on!”
The veterans could not help but cheer for Xu Li.
At this moment, Xu Li, the squad leader of Class Three of the First Platoon, Class, was holding his gun with trembling hands. His forehead was covered in sweat.
He was the squad leader of Class Three!
He was also known as the sharpshooter 4th Division’s number one!
Now, all their hopes were pinned on him. If he lost to the two recruits, he would have no face to stay in the 4th Division in the future.
“Eh? Aren’t you the best sniper in the Sharpshooter’s 4th Division? What? You were you beaten up by two recruits? No way!”
He couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. That absolutely could not happen!!
However, it was undeniable that Xu Li’s heart was in chaos at that moment. As a sniper, the most important thing for him was calmness. If his heart was in a mess, his marksmanship would naturally mess up.
Lin Shu glanced at him and shook his head secretly. He thought of an online meme before he transmigrated:
Now, the pressure was on Old Xu’s side.
‘He Chenguang is truly the descendant of a family of generals. Although he likes to pretend a little, his strength is not for show. I just don’t know… How long can he last?’ Lin Shu thought to himself.
In his memory of the original drama, He Chenguang, with the assistance of the instructor Gong Jian, managed to shoot 1,200 meters and became a sniper.
1,200 meters…
Lin Shu narrowed his eyes. He wondered if he could complete the task without any auxiliary shooting.
….
He Chenguang seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to meet Lin Shu’s gaze. His fighting spirit became even stronger!
To be honest, Lin Shu’s performance in the first four rounds was really strong, even for someone as proud and confident as him.
He was quick to shoot!!
One or two times could still be described as luck, but even up to the fourth round, his result remained the same. This was enough to explain everything. He Chenguang knew very well that Lin Shu’s sniping skills were comparable to his. In fact… He knew that he was a strong opponent!
‘Humph… What was the use of being fast? The most important thing is stability!’ He Chenguang thought to himself.
In the next match, the maximum effective range of the 88 sniper rifle had been reached. This did not mean that there would be no damage beyond this range. In fact, the bullets of the 88 sniper rifle were still lethal at 3,000 meters. However, that was obviously not the case. Theory and reality were two different things. No one could snipe a target from 3,000 meters away with an 88-sniper rifle!
The bullets started to drift at 600 meters, and no one knew where they went at 800 meters.
Even He Chenguang could not help but look solemn at this moment.
Gong Jian also spoke up. “Sniper 88’s effective range is 800 meters. It’s not embarrassing if you miss. 30 seconds, starting now!”
Obviously, he saw Xu Li’s nervousness and comforted him.
Immediately–
Lin Shu, He Chenguang, and Xu Li lay prone on the ground and aimed at the colorful flag pole 800 meters away through the optical scope.
‘Calm down, calm down. I will hit it…’
Xu Li, the squad leader and sniper of Class Three of the first platoon, secretly cheered himself up and began to prepare for the shooting.
‘Lin Shu, I must defeat you!’
He Chenguang glanced sideways at Lin Shu, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. After calculating the interference of wind speed, air humidity, and other factors on the sniper rifle, he made corresponding adjustments to the optical scope.
Then—
Bang!
Lin Shu had already started shooting.
Damn it! He beat him to it again… He Chenguang paused for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. He held his breath and pulled the trigger with his index finger.
Bang!
Xu Li saw that these two recruits had fired earlier than him and his mentality was about to collapse. ‘Can’t the two of you leave some face for a veteran?’
‘I can’t be affected by the two of them. No matter how fast they shoot, their success rate won’t be much higher than mine. They might not even be as good as me. I can’t panic…’
Xu Li comforted himself and pulled the trigger!
Bang!
A gunshot rang out. Xu Li’s intuition told him that he had missed the target. After about a second, he looked through the optical scope and saw that the colorful flag had not fallen.
‘It’s normal that they didn’t hit the target. The two of them definitely won’t be able to hit the target either. By then, we’ll enter overtime. I still have a chance…’
Thinking of this, Xu Li subconsciously moved the muzzle and looked at Lin Shu and He Chenguang’s targets through the scope.
‘F*ck! I’ve been beaten…’
Xu Li subconsciously cursed. His eyes widened like light bulbs, and then his face turned ashen. He… What did he see?
800 meters away, Lin Shu and He Chenguang’s colorful flags had all fallen!!
This was 800 meters!
Not 80 meters, not 8 meters…
And they were shooting a bamboo pole that was as thick as a finger. Just one shot and they hit? Without any mistakes?
More importantly, whether it was Lin Shu or He Chenguang, they were much faster than him!
Were they still human?
What monsters!
Xu Li felt that his worldview was about to shatter. He really couldn’t understand how these two rookies did it. From the beginning of the competition until now, they hadn’t made a single mistake. Each shot was accurate and fast.
‘It’s over. This is embarrassing…’ Xu Li muttered with a bitter smile.
….
At this moment, the Sharpshooter Division was also silent. Everyone looked at Lin Shu and He Chenguang as if they were looking at a monster.
400 meters!
500 meters!
600 meters!
700 meters!
All the way to the 800m mark!
These two recruits could be said to have swept the entire way, killing all the veterans with their unbelievable shots. Even the publicly recognized best sniper, Xu Li, was defeated. What else could they say?
Thinking back to how they had vowed that they would be defeated in one round, and how a new recruit dared to participate in the sniper competition, their faces could not help but heat up!
This was so embarrassing!
The entire division was swept away by two recruits.
This time, they had become the laughingstock of the Iron Fist Regiment, but they felt wronged! Were they really that weak? Of course not. Which of those who could enter the Sharpshooter 4th Division was not an expert in shooting? It was not that they were too weak, but that their opponents were too skilled, too monstrous, and too ridiculous!!!
“Haaa… Don’t even think about it. Who asked me to be inferior!”
“I’ve been in the army for five or six years. This is the first time I’ve seen such a ridiculous recruit.”
“What kind of recruit are they!”
“Let’s see if Lin Shu or He Chenguang is better…”
“Us seasoned soldiers are just like green leaves.”
… The seasoned soldiers discussed among themselves and became curious. He Chenguang or Lin Shu, who would come out as the champion of the sniper competition?!
Lin Shu and He Chenguang looked at each other, their eyes filled with fighting spirit.
In fact, it was not only He Chenguang who wanted to win against Lin Shu. Lin Shu was also curious about He Chenguang, the protagonist of the original drama. He was known as the genius sniper seedling that was seen once in a hundred years. How strong was he?
At this moment, Gong Jian walked over. He still had that signature aunty smile on his face as he looked at the two of them and asked,
“I didn’t expect this! In the end, it will be the two of you recruits left… How about it? Do you still want to continue competing?”
