The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

“Everyone in Dormitory 314, gather!”

As soon as these words were said, Zhao Rui and the others who were still observing the situation trotted over.

“Instructor!”

“Bai Xiaofei, both of you get up! !”

The two immediately got up.

He Yingbo placed his hands behind his back and berated them, “Your group hasn’t completed the mission. Go run three kilometers. If you can’t finish it, you’re not allowed to eat! !”

“Yes, instructor! !”

Zhao Rui and the others started running with Bai Xiaofei and the others.

“I’m sorry. It’s all our fault that you were punished together.”

Bai Xiaofei and Chi Heng had apologetic looks on their faces.

Regarding this, Zhao Rui chuckled and said, “It’s alright. People will make mistakes eventually. You guys don’t really know how to assemble a gun, right? I’ll teach you guys later.”

“Thank you so much, Class Monitor! !”

Bai Xiaofei and the others were very happy to hear Zhao Rui say that.

They were laughing and talking when suddenly, they felt something hit them. They looked over curiously and found that it was a water droplet.

“Is it raining?”

Just as Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the sky started to rain heavily. Everyone was soon drenched.

At this moment, He Yingbo’s voice sounded, “Don’t stop, all of you run! Even if it’s raining, you have to run! !”

Zhao Rui and the others gritted their teeth. Since that was the case, everyone decided to run freely. Even though the rain made them unable to open their eyes, in the end, they still endured and ran for the three kilometers.

After they finished running, they formed a team and came before instructor He.

Looking at their drenched appearance, He Yingbo nodded. “Alright, go back and take a shower. Change your clothes and go eat.”

The canteen.

Although there weren’t many dishes left, they could still eat.

However, they were only leftovers, and they were almost cold.

After they finished eating, they picked a place and sat together.

“How does it feel to run in the rain?”

Zhang Cheng looked at the crowd and asked.

Bai Xiaofei smiled and said, “It actually feels pretty good. It’s just that…” Speaking up to this point, Bai Xiaofei was a little sad. “We’ve implicated you guys.”

Zhao Rui swallowed a mouthful of rice and said with a smile, “You’re still talking about this? We’re not blaming you guys, right? Old Zhang, Old Qian?”

Zhang Cheng and Qian Jiang nodded. Qian Jiang smiled and said, “Don’t think like that. We’re all brothers.”

“Yes, we’re all brothers. We’re not petty women. We’re a group of men. No one is fussing over this matter.”

Zhao Rui nodded and said, “If that’s the case, we won’t be friends anymore.”

Bai Xiaofei and Chi Heng were almost moved to tears when they heard what everyone said.

“What are you guys crying for? Seriously, eat well.”

Zhao Rui said.

“Yes, class monitor! !”

Then, everyone chatted and laughed as they ate.

After they finished eating, they still had evening self-study.

Zhao Rui went to look for He Yingbo.

“Instructor He.”

Seeing that it was Zhao Rui who pushed open the office door and came in, He Yingbo blinked his eyes and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong, Zhao Rui?”

Zhao Rui said that he wanted to help Bai Xiaofei and the others reassemble guns. In response to this, He Yingbo nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll go and find a gun for you. However, the time is strict, so I can only borrow it for half an hour. Are you confident in teaching them?”

“100% !”

“Okay.”

Hearing Zhao Rui’s confident words, He Yingbo readily agreed.

Later on, He Yingbo really found a gun for Zhao Rui.

Touching the smooth surface of the gun, Zhao Rui said, “We can only borrow it for half an hour. You must listen carefully, understand?”

Bai Xiaofei and the others nodded solemnly. “Don’t worry. This time, we won’t be distracted.”

After that, Zhao Rui began to explain to Bai Xiaofei and the others. After he was done, he asked the two of them if they were clear.

They nodded.

“Mm, that’s good. I originally wanted to give you guys a try to assemble it, but it’s almost time. As long as you remember it, it’s fine.”

After handing the gun back, Instructor He asked Zhao Rui to stay behind to practice shooting.

“Practice shooting? Instructor He, what do you mean by that?”

Zhao Rui was a little puzzled by his words.

He Yingbo said, “What else could it be? Of course, I want you to go to target practice. Follow me.”

Hearing He Yingbo say that he was going to target practice, Zhao Rui took a while to process that. When he arrived at the shooting range, he saw that there were already a lot of people there. Although Zhao Rui didn’t know their names, he knew that they were the team leaders of each team.

Obviously, they were also called here by He Yingbo.

“Alright, everyone is here. Now, it’s time to start shooting. As the team leader and class monitor, you need to take the lead. This shooting practice is also to let you act like your role.”

Next, He Yingbo pressed a button. Instantly, the lights in the shooting range were all lit up.

In the distance, there were human-shaped target boards.

“We have indoor and outdoor practice in the shooting range. It’s too dark outside, so we’ll practice inside. It’s very simple. In short, when the time comes, use the guns in your hands to shoot at these targets. I’m using blanks, so it won’t cause any harm to people.”

“Reporting, Instructor He, we don’t know much. Can you give us a demonstration?”

At this moment, someone stepped forward and asked.

He Yingbo nodded. “Of course. Even if you didn’t tell me, I would have done the same. How can there be someone who can’t climb but can walk? Watch carefully.”

After He Yingbo finished speaking, he picked up a gun and aimed at the targets. As he aimed, he said, “My requirements aren’t very high. There’s no time limit, and I don’t pay attention to any postures or techniques.”

“There’s only one target, and it’s to hit within the five-ringed target. My teaching method is different from other instructors. I want your postures to be good, but the five-ringed target is my bottom line. Do you understand?”

After saying that, he fired a shot and hit the bullseye of the ten-ringed target accurately.

Seeing this scene, all the recruits present were stunned, including Zhao Rui.

He thought to himself, as expected of an instructor. Either he didn’t make a move, or he made an astonishing move. This bullet hit the tenth ring.

“Alright, I’ll give each of you five minutes of trial time. After five minutes, I’ll give you a test. I’ve prepared a lot of blanks. Don’t worry.”

After saying this, He Yingbo took out the blanks.

There were boxes and boxes of blanks. They were very happy to see this.

They were eager to try it. When they received the gun, they started to reload. Then, they started shooting.

Zhao Rui was like them, loading the blanks into the gun and started shooting..
