When you're in the Wolf Pack, your ability to obey orders becomes stronger.

Chapter 60 You're Finished! (Please read on!)

After a morning of aiming practice, Xu Ge's shooting proficiency increased by 3 points, now at 97/99.

At this rate, I should be able to reach LV2 by the afternoon.

Lunch was still delivered by the kitchen vehicle, but due to time constraints, the quality of the food was somewhat worse than what was served in the camp.

There happened to be a lot of military vehicles selling things outside the barbed wire fence, and many new recruits would go there to buy food during their lunch break.

Xu Ge found an empty tent, sat down on the ground, closed his eyes, and prepared to take a nap. He didn't know where Xiao Siquan had been taken by the head instructor.

Footsteps sounded, and then a can of soda was thrown into his arms.

Li Dongshui opened her eyes and walked over with a bag of snacks and drinks. She sat down next to him and complained, "I don't know why Lao Wang didn't come today. The food that everyone else is selling is awful!"

Xu Ge said lazily, "If it tastes so bad, why did you buy so much?"

"I'm tired of eating communal meals."

Li Dongshui opened a bag of pig's trotters, took a couple of bites, and mumbled something.

"It's only because you can eat it all. A lot of people in our class went to buy instant noodles. Qi Ruibiao bought several hundred yuan worth of stuff, and his bag was almost overflowing!"

"This guy messes around as soon as the squad leader isn't around, and he even dares to stuff things into his satchel. If the duty platoon leader sees him, there might be another reprimand."

Xu Ge sat up straight, opened a can of soda, took a sip, and asked, "Why did he buy so much stuff?"

"Who knows? Maybe they wanted to save it for dinner."

Li Dongshui didn't mind and changed the subject, "What are you thinking about all by yourself? Are you upset because the head instructor said you weren't suitable to be a sniper this morning?"

"If I can't be one, I can't be one. Being a sniper isn't an easy job."

Xu Ge looked completely unconcerned.

"I heard from the squad leader that it's freezing cold in the Northwest, and snipers often need to occupy high ground. It's even colder on the ground, and they can lie prone for more than ten hours without moving. Some people have even developed health problems from lying like that!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look at your sour face!" Li Dongshui said with a look of disgust. "You're acting like you don't want to be one."

"I hadn't really thought about it, but yesterday the chief of staff said that those who performed well in the shooting competition would receive a medal, and I wanted one, but my marksmanship is terrible."

Li Dongshui continued gnawing on a pig's trotter: "What's so special about a medal from a recruit company? A military medal is what's really impressive!"

Xu Ge said somewhat helplessly, "I just wanted to share some good news with my family. My dad was talking about how so-and-so's child got an award or something."

"Then you should practice hard. If you can't get 100 rings, try 90. There's more than one medal. Didn't they say there's a batch?"

Li Dongshui chuckled as he said this.
"At worst, I can give you my medal. Just tell your dad it's yours."

Xu Ge closed his eyes and leaned back: "Pah! I don't care!"

. . .

. . .

At 1:30, the afternoon training started on time.

Before the meal, everyone's guns were neatly arranged at their firing positions. However, when it was Xu Ge's turn to receive his gun, he discovered that there were several clumps of mud on the muzzle.

"You stuck the gun barrel into the ground?" Kaiyoumu looked at Xu Ge's gun barrel, his expression turning stern.

"No, I checked it before I ate. Someone must have switched my gun!" Xu Ge blurted out.

"Stop making excuses for me!" With Du Hu absent, Kaiyoumu naturally had to take on the responsibilities of squad leader. "Clean your gun yourself after training!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge didn't argue and obediently agreed, but in his heart he cursed the person who switched the gun a hundred times.

Why the hell did you have to switch to mine?!
But since Kaiyoumu had already spoken, Xu Ge didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer.

Presumably out of respect for Luo Shan, Thor made a special trip to this row in the afternoon to stay a little longer and help the new recruits answer their questions, especially paying special attention to Xu Ge and Li Dongshui. Kai Youmu also received a few pointers.

As Xu Ge expected, his shooting skills were successfully upgraded to LV2 before the training ended.

Shooting: LV2 (3/199).

Around 5 o'clock, the training ended, and each squad and platoon organized the handover of their weapons.

The students from Class One were at the very back of the line because they had to wait for Xu Ge to clean his gun.

While everyone else sat outside the tent resting and chatting, Xu Ge sat inside, rubbing a cloth on his back and cursing as he cleaned his gun.

It's difficult to deal with mud like this; you have to wipe it off repeatedly several times before you can apply oil.

"Woof!"

While he was cleaning the gun, Xiao Siquan came in and immediately tried to get onto the gun cover. "Go away! Go play somewhere else, don't waste my time!" Xu Ge scolded, not wanting to delay everyone's return to dinner because of him.

"Xu Ge, the head instructor wants to see you!" Li Dongshui called out as he poked his head in.

Xu Ge hesitated, "Now? I'm cleaning my gun."

"You should go quickly, you can clean it when you get back, in case something important happens," Qi Ruibiao reminded him.

"OK then."

Xu Ge stood up and headed straight for Thor's tent.

"report!"

"Come in."

"Chief Instructor, you wanted to see me?" Xu Ge asked.

Thor sat in a chair, holding a note in his hand: "Someone reported you for maliciously damaging weapons. What's going on?"

Xu Ge was taken aback at first, then replied, "Reporting to the chief instructor, I don't know who switched my gun, I'm cleaning the mud out of the barrel."

Thor was also taken aback: "Just mud in the barrel? No other damage?"

"no!"

"Okay, I got it. Take better care of the gun during next training session!"

"Yes!"

Xu Ge looked at Thor, "Chief Instructor, who reported me?"

"I don't know, I just got back and saw a note on the table." Thor waved his hand. "Looks like you're not very popular, kid. Hurry up and go clean your gun."

"Yes!"

Xu Ge ran back to the tent, carefully oiled the gun barrel, and then prepared to assemble it.

The next second, he was stunned.

. . .

. . .

"what happened?"

A few minutes later, Kaiyu entered the tent, glanced at the parts on the gun cloth, and said, "Are you done wiping? If you are, hurry up and put them back together."

"Squad leader, the air supply is gone," Xu Ge whispered.

Kaiyoumu thought he had misheard: "What did you say?"

"The air delivery system is gone! Look!"

Xu Ge pointed to the air intake below the barrel, where the gas block had disappeared.

Kaiyoumu immediately looked around: "Did it fall somewhere? Hurry up and find it! Why the hell did you take that thing apart for no reason?"

"I didn't open it, I don't know how it disappeared!"

"Bullshit! You wouldn't have fallen down by yourself if you hadn't disassembled the gas duct!"

The two searched the tent for a long time before Kaiyuki finally confirmed that the gas valve of the gun was indeed missing.

"Squad leader, what should we do? Should I just load the gun like this?" Xu Ge asked.

Kaiyou stared blankly at Xu Ge: "You're finished, and so am I!"

Xu Ge: ? ? ?
"Wait here!" After saying this, Kaiyuki turned and left the tent.

A moment later, Luo Shan came in and immediately questioned Xu Ge, "Where did you lose your Qi? How did you lose it? When did you lose it?"

Xu Ge lowered his head: "Platoon leader, if I knew where I threw it away, wouldn't that be considered throwing it away..."

"You son of a bitch..."

Luo Shan was on the verge of exploding. "Find! Everyone come and search! No one is going back until they find it!"

Everyone in the class was called into the tent and searched every corner carefully.

At this moment, Qi Ruibiao seemed to remember something: "I think I saw the white tiger carrying something to the gate earlier."
