Chapter 452: Chapter 451: The Group Captain’s Wife Begins to Show Her Mettle Chapter 452: Chapter 451: The Group Captain’s Wife Begins to Show Her Mettle If lucky, not encountering bandits on the main road, one could make contact with friendly forces and enter the city smoothly.

If unlucky, a gunfight was inevitable.

Tang Zelin hesitated a bit because of Su Shu’s presence.

Su Shu noticed and took the initiative, “Let’s take the main road. The sooner we get into the city, the safer we’ll be. The longer we stay outside, the more dangerous it becomes.”

First squad leader Zhang Dongke and second squad leader Wang Meng both looked at group captain Tang Zelin.

To take the main road or the back road wasn’t their concern. Wherever the group captain decided to go, they would follow.

They knew the group captain’s concern. With sister-in-law Su Shu in the team, taking the main road and engaging in a firefight was extremely dangerous.

Seeing that Tang Zelin was still hesitating, Su Shu lowered her head to think for a moment, then raised it to ask, “Are you worried that if we accidentally get into a firefight, I won’t be able to cope?”

Tang Zelin frowned, “I’m worried.”

He didn’t respond to her evasively; he spoke from his heart.

If a man were killed or captured by the enemy, at worst he would die, but if a woman fell into enemy hands on the battlefield, the consequences were unimaginable.

Rather than worrying about her inability to cope, he was more concerned about not being able to protect her completely in a crisis.

He had clashed with forces outside the city before. They were all terribly brutal.

Su Shu looked at Tang Zelin’s waist and said flatly, “Can I borrow your handgun?”

Tang Zelin slightly furrowed his brow, not understanding her intention. He started to say something but ultimately didn’t, instead handing over the handgun from his waist.

“Be careful.”

Su Shu took the gun, weighed it in her hand, and became accustomed to its feel.

Amid the puzzled looks from everyone, she suddenly turned and fired a shot at a tree branch in the distance.

The shot hit the spot that could break off the branch in one strike.

Su Shu turned back, “How’s that for shooting?”

Behind her, Tang Zelin squinted his eyes, feeling genuinely surprised.

Wang Meng and the others behind him immediately nodded vigorously, “Yes! Sister-in-law, your shooting is absolutely up to par!”

In terms of the range, position, and precision of that shot, the marksmanship was good.

Su Shu smiled faintly, and seeing Tang Zelin not speaking, she turned around and fired three more shots, each breaking a branch and each shooting thinner branches.

After the final shot, Tang Zelin finally spoke out.

“When did you learn to use a gun?”

For such a result to come from a few shots, to say the first was a fluke, then how could the following shots be explained?

Su Shu’s marksmanship was beyond Tang Zelin’s expectations.

Earlier, when she asked for the gun, he thought she wanted to demonstrate that she could use it for self-defense.

But he had not expected her shooting to be so proficient.

At that distance, with a handgun, especially the expression on her face while shooting, it was as if she had repeated this action hundreds of times.

Tang Zelin suddenly realized that his young wife was like a treasure chest, hiding many secrets.

Su Shu said, “I’ve practiced before to defend myself.”

In front of Tang Zelin’s subordinates, she dared not say her marksmanship was initially taught by Shen Han, but indeed, in her previous life, in the safe zone, Tang Zelin had taught her personally, hands-on, with the same purpose as Shen Han — so that in his absence, she could protect herself.

The difference was that when Shen Han taught her, he simply threw her in a shooting club to learn from a coach.

After Tang Zelin’s tutelage, never relying on others, her movements and shooting stance subtly bore Tang Zelin’s style.
