Chapter 846: Chapter 839: Implementing Armament

Apart from the Armament Vanguard Team, Wang Xu planned for the newcomer, Eve, to possess some most basic shooting techniques. After all, as an armed reconnaissance squad, it would be impractical to always have someone completely untrained in firearms, as they might not even be capable of self-defense in a dangerous situation.

Of course, the training didn’t need to be too in-depth, just enough to give Eve a basic level of proficiency in shooting. After all, she was only there as a guide, not a main force. Moreover, given the current strength of the Advance Team, which was far superior to the past, frankly, they wouldn’t miss the extra firepower that Eve might provide.

On the shooting range, Eve was practicing pistol shooting under the guidance of Hu Daoke. Despite Hu Daoke’s usually casual demeanor, one must remember that he was an important pillar of firepower in the Advance Team, and his understanding of firearms was not far behind that of the others.

"Shooting... good, holstered, what next?" Hu Daoke asked, covering his ears.

"Uh, next..." Eve held the pistol, whose slide was locked back, with both hands and stared at the dark muzzle, at a loss.

"Don’t point the muzzle at yourself, not even when it’s unloaded!" Hu Daoke urgently shouted.

"Oh, right, sorry..." Eve said, her hands flustered, and the muzzle, as if possessed, pointed at Hu Daoke, causing him to jump back in alarm.

"Don’t point the muzzle at your own people either," Hu Daoke shouted excitedly.

"Then, what should I do?" Eve asked, still at a loss.

"Remove the magazine, then check the chamber twice to ensure it’s clear, and check if there are any remaining rounds in the magazine," Hu Daoke said, fearfully looking at the dark muzzle of her gun and raising his hands.

"Right, sorry, I forgot again..." Eve said nervously.

"How’s the training going?" Luo’er approached, patting Hu Daoke on the shoulder and asking.

"Boss," Hu Daoke turned around, with a pained expression, and said, "Maybe it’s better if she just uses a stick?"

"I can do it!" Eve said, a bit angry, forcefully pulling down the slide, but accidently pressing the empty magazine release, resulting in the ejection port biting down viciously on her unprotected finger.

"Ah ah..." Eve cried out in pain, while vigorously shaking the handgun that was gripping her finger and a look of agony appeared on her face.

Luo’er quickly stepped forward, grabbed the wildly flailing pistol, then calmly opened the slide and freed her delicate finger.

"I suspect she might hit her own head with a stick," Hu Daoke sighed.

Luo’er looked at Eve, who had tears in her corners of her eyes, holding her finger as if wronged and standing to the side. Her furrowed little face was filled with frustration. Seeing this, Luo’er sighed helplessly, then took the barrel of the gun and handed it back to her again.

"Carry on," Luo’er said, patting Hu Daoke on the shoulder.

"Thank you..." Eve said, taking the pistol and bowing her head in sincere gratitude.

"You had better hurry up, because you don’t have much more time to train. Probably by tomorrow, we will set out for the Snow Domain," Luo’er said, turning back.

"Tomorrow?" Eve’s eyes widened, and she said with a worried face, "If we leave tomorrow, winter in the Snow Domain hasn’t passed yet and the snow hasn’t melted."

"We can’t wait," Luo’er said, "On one hand, we urgently need the Ancient Scripture, and on the other hand, the longer we stay in our current location, the more dangerous it becomes. Don’t forget, that Earth organization that’s hostile to our group could take advantage of this time to infiltrate and take you out. Thus, the longer you stay here, the greater the danger."

"Greater danger..." Eve murmured, then looked up anxiously and asked, "Then, Jora, he..."

"Don’t worry, Jora is not their primary target; he should be fine. And in a little while, he will be transferred somewhere else. You really don’t have to worry about his safety," Luo’er reassured her.

"I understand..." Hearing Luo’er’s words, Eve nodded slightly and then walked over to Hu Daoke with her head down, sincerely saying, "Coach, let’s continue..."

Being addressed so humbly by an older sister, Hu Daoke was at a loss for a moment. After hesitating for a good while, he finally spoke with insufficient confidence, "Then let’s start. First, assume the correct shooting posture, then check the condition of the firearm, pull out the gun..."

Not far from where Hu Daoke and another person were, Baiyue was also in training, having switched back to a bolt-action rifle, she commenced her rigorous training. Unlike before, this time she no longer needed Hu Daoke as her assistant. Instead, she was accompanied by Fulajie’er.

Since the last time she ran off in a huff, Fulajie’er had been constantly staying by Nightingale’s side. It took Luo’er a lot of effort to ask her to return, to partner with Baiyue, to learn the related knowledge of a sniper team’s assistant, such as reporting target distance, target-related information, and testing wind speed, and so on.

The training that Baiyue was undergoing was calibration of the sniper scope, which was both her favorite and most frequent activity. As she often had to undertake long-range shooting tasks, Baiyue placed great importance on the precision of her weapon and calmed it regularly.

As riflemen and support, Luo’er and Hu Daoke were more accustomed to exchanging fire within a hundred meters, and they didn’t have high requirements for accuracy. Thus, their weapons were as rough as the owner, generally only talking about hit rates, not obsessing over the score like Baiyue did.

"All set?" Luo’er asked, walking up to Baiyue.

"Yes, the calibration is complete." Baiyue replied, climbing up from the sniper position with some nervousness at Luo’er’s approach.

"Luo’er!" Fulajie’er’s excited voice rang out, and she instantly appeared on Luo’er’s shoulder, affectionately nestling against his head.

"Luo’er, when do we leave?" Fulajie’er asked.

"Should be tomorrow," Luo’er said, unable to suppress a smile, "Why, do you miss your sister?"

"Of course not," Fulajie’er swiftly denied, but her tone soon softened, "My sister always likes to boss me around, forbidding me from doing this or that, and I even have to sleep at night, such a hassle. I feel like no matter where I go in the garrison, she’s secretly watching over me."

"Don’t make your sister out to be so terrible; she is just a mage after all." Luo’er said with a wry smile.

"If we are leaving tomorrow, won’t the ice and snow of the Snow Domain still not have melted?" Baiyue asked worriedly.

"We can’t worry about that; you know, the Intelligence Agency has always been eyeing Eve. I’m concerned that staying here longer might lead to trouble. Better to leave the garrison early and avoid their surveillance," Luo’er explained.

"That makes sense..." Baiyue nodded with a frown.

"Pack up your things early; we should leave as soon as possible tomorrow," Luo’er instructed.

"I understand." Baiyue responded and turned around to pick up her sniper rifle.

"And...make sure to wear more clothes, don’t freeze once we’re there..." Luo’er suddenly blurted out without preamble.

"Ah, oh... okay!" Baiyue replied, somewhat perplexed, then hurried off with her sniper rifle, leaving Luo’er behind.

"Luo’er, what were you just trying to say?" Fulajie’er asked, frowning as she flew in front of Luo’er.

"Nothing, what did you guess?" Luo’er said, shaking his head.

Fulajie’er pouted and frowned in thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "What is our route going to be like?"

"Uh," Luo’er thought for a moment, then answered truthfully, "We’ll travel upstream from the banks of the Yenroen River, reach Princess Melia’s camp, then let her escort us along the eastern tributary continuing northward, and finally reach and cross the North Lead Corridor."

"It’s Princess Melia again," Fulajie’er exclaimed, covering her mouth with surprise and staring at Luo’er with wide eyes, "Aren’t you worried that the evil woman will get jealous?"

"I have thought about it, but I think she probably won’t do anything rash, after all, she had made a promise to me," Luo’er said with a bitter smile.

The "evil woman" was Fulajie’er’s nickname for Tangmo, specifically aimed at Momo. When it came to her sister Moumou, she generally referred to her by her full name.
