shooting range.

The shooting range of the Ninth Military Region is semi-open-air, with one half being a regular target range training area and the other half being a simulated training ground, mainly for snipers.

This simulated arena differs from the holographic simulation game pods used in Star Wars. It is created using more expensive environmental simulation equipment and can recreate preset maps one-to-one, realistically simulating actual war scenarios.

Many snipers need to find suitable sniping positions and timings in such simulated training. On large battlefields, commanders cannot always give snipers instructions, so many factors need to be judged by the snipers themselves.

At this moment, new recruit training is underway at the shooting range, mostly by sixth-year students from Storm Military Academy. Although the brothers An Yuan and An Liu are only fourth-year students, they have been approved to come to the military headquarters for an early internship due to their outstanding performance during their time at the academy.

As the commander, An Yuan's training focused on rapid-fire pistol shooting, while An Liu, the team's long-range sniper, trained alongside He Xiting in a simulated training ground.

Leng Ran recognized the two men at a glance, but they were only familiar with Meng Nan, not Mo Li, so she ignored them and went straight to find He Xiting.

She didn't disturb He Xiting, who was training in the simulation field, but instead watched from a distance.

Although He Xiting was a bit stubborn, he was, after all, a child who grew up in a military compound and received training in the army from a young age. He was very passionate about all kinds of firearms and his shooting skills were always very high.

Aside from timing and accuracy, He Xiting can also precisely control the energy consumption of each shot, a terrifying talent that even Leng Ran admires.

His long-range shooting skills are quite excellent, which is why he was selected as a prospective student for Storm Military Academy without taking the entrance exam.

Five minutes later, he killed the last monster, ending this round of simulated battlefield training.

He Xiting had just stepped off the battlefield when he noticed Leng Ran watching from the sidelines: "Ali, are you done training?"

He coldly handed over a bottle of water: "Hmm, come and take a look around."

Today's training instructor at the shooting range was an old acquaintance of Leng Ran's—Instructor Lin. He was currently reviewing the performance of the participants in the simulation training and did not notice Leng Ran's presence.

"Instructor Lin, how did I do just now?" An Liu asked, moving closer to Instructor Lin.

Instructor Lin rolled his eyes at him: "You're the most enthusiastic one, just you wait!"

After witnessing Leng Ran's individual special operations capabilities during the Longtian bombing incident, An Liu, who was originally very arrogant, realized his shortcomings and was eager to catch up with the level of the Lingyun Army members!

Previously, he only focused on training in mecha skills, neglecting the ability to fight as a single soldier without mecha. Now, he wants to develop in all aspects!

He Xiting and Leng Ran also walked over. Leng Ran took the initiative to greet Instructor Lin: "Long time no see, Instructor Lin."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Instructor Lin was reminded of a bad memory: "I almost forgot, you troublesome little brat are back too, and you've become the great hero who saved the nameless planet."

He shrugged coldly: "It was just a matter of necessity. I almost died on that nameless planet."

This is indeed true.

"How could that be? I had already foreseen something." Instructor Lin joked, "They say good people don't live long, but bad people live for a thousand years. You're not going to die, kid."

The second rule of survival in the apocalypse for the nameless is that those who are too kind cannot survive.

He smiled coldly, like a villain: "Then I thank you for your blessing."

After the debriefing, Instructor Lin looked at Leng Ran, who was listening attentively, and said, "Since you're here, why don't you join them and have a game?"

He Xiting also urged, "Come on, Ali!"

"Alright, let's play a round then." Leng Ran also wanted to see the true strength of soldiers. "A competitive match, perhaps?"

Instructor Lin laughed: "Hmm? Quite ambitious, huh? I originally wanted you to play in the simulation competition against the alien beasts, but I didn't expect you to specifically ask to compete against them."

Leng Ran laughed along: "It's more interesting to compete! Are there any senior students who can give us some pointers?"

She's been killing monsters since her past life, and she's already tired of it.

In the apocalypse, mutated beasts, also known as zombie beasts, are far fewer in number than zombies, but pose a far greater threat.

In interstellar terms, the zombies there were just ordinary patients in the late stages of Bloodskin Disease. Leng Ran had never seen a zombie with self-awareness or the ability to control alien beasts in the apocalypse.

As a super strong person stationed at "Hope Star," the largest human base in the post-apocalyptic world, Leng Ran has killed countless zombies and beasts, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that thousands of them have died under her blade.

"Alright, forget about your seniors... I'll personally play with you guys, two against one." Instructor Lin also got interested, "Perfect for me to put your arrogance to a test."

He Xiting: "Huh? One against two? That's not fair, Instructor Lin. You're so strong, Ali and I probably won't last long."

Instructor Lin: "Then what do you mean by fairness?"

He Xiting immediately replied, "Of course... ten people against one!"

Instructor Lin rolled his eyes at He Xiting: "Three against one. That's the bottom line. You two can choose one of these new recruits, who are also your seniors, to be your teammate."

Leng Ran: "I'm fine with either, Ting-ge, you choose."

She just wants to find a skilled opponent to fight and see their level; as for teammates, she doesn't have any particular ambitions for the time being.

He Xiting looked around and realized that he only knew one person, someone who had been forced to become a prominent figure at Storm Military Academy because of the Meng 0 incident.

"Then we choose—Senior Anliu!"

Anliu was quite happy when she was selected. Opportunities to compete with the instructors are rare, and this was a good chance to improve her skills.

"Junior, you have good taste!" An Liu asked with some curiosity, "With so many people... why did you choose me?"

Could it be that the other party has exceptional insight and recognized his extraordinary nature at a glance?

"I often see you on the StarNet!" He Xiting said honestly, "Senior, you're not only famous at the military academy, but also throughout the entire Storm Star!"

The things that could go viral across the entire planet... flashed through An Liu's mind: the humiliating press conference, and all sorts of fanfiction and posts promoting him as a couple with a muscular man.

An Liu suddenly realized something: "Stop! There's no need to say any more."

He Xiting: "Oh, okay."

An Liu closed her eyes, tears welling up inside: I should have become a global sensation for being invincible on the front lines, not for becoming famous in this way!!!

A new recruit chuckled and shouted at An Liu, "Don't be sad, brother. Black is red, it's still red!"

An Liu glared at him resentfully: "If I gave you this opportunity to become famous, would you dare to take it?"

A burst of laughter erupted, but Instructor Lin, who had just finished adjusting the equipment, quickly stopped them: "What are you all doing here? Everyone, run twenty laps around the shooting range now!"

The smiles on the recruits' faces gradually disappeared, and they resignedly went to run laps.

Instructor Lin then turned to the three of them and said, "Come on, you little brats, let me see what you're made of."
