Chapter 411: Chapter 410: Live Target

People who had been soldiers knew what a moving target meant, which was simply a target that moved from side to side at a certain speed, and shooters fired based on their skills.

This was the most basic, and there were various more complex forms of moving targets with even more irregular movements, making shooting more difficult.

"Brother Lin, do you want to compare shooting skills?" Thunder Wolf asked.

"No, I’ll be your moving target, and you two shoot at a stick in my hand," Lin Tian said calmly.

Thunder Wolf thought he had heard wrong, and asked incredulously, "You... you’ll be our moving target?"

Then he looked at Ghost, who showed no sign of shock. He turned back to look at Lin Tian, who still had a calm expression and did not seem to be joking.

"You two guys..." Thunder Wolf was utterly speechless.

"Thunder Wolf, don’t you have confidence in your shooting skills, afraid you’ll hit me?" Lin Tian asked with a twinkle in his eye.

Thunder Wolf, feeling provoked, narrowed his eyes and said, "There’s nothing I’m afraid of, as long as you’re not afraid of dying."

"I object, I object," a voice rang out.

Lin Tian followed the sound and saw it was the little girl Xiao Manxuan, who was staring at him angrily, looking like she wanted to beat someone up.

"Tell me, Second Miss, what are you objecting to?" Lin Tian asked helplessly.

The little girl pouted her lips and huffed, "Humph, shooting at a moving target, do you know how dangerous that is? What if you get hit?"

She knew that Lin Tian could withstand bullets from a handgun, and regarded ordinary blades even less, but bullets from an assault rifle were many times more powerful, incomparable to a handgun.

Moreover, she was worried that if he were hit in vital areas like the eyes or temples, the consequences could be severe.

Though the Miss did not speak, she nodded in agreement with her sister, thinking that although this scoundrel was usually detestable, they couldn’t just watch him risk his life against bullets.

As for Ning Luoxi, she didn’t know that Lin Tian could withstand bullets, and frowned even more upon hearing Lin Tian’s suggestion.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lin Tian, you should listen to Xuanxuan. Even the best snipers can miss, and the chances of missing are even higher in motion shooting. You need to think this through."

Since coming from the bar to the base, this was the longest sentence Ning Luoxi had spoken, and it was spoken for Lin Tian’s sake.

Those familiar with her, like Ning Weiguo and Thunder Wolf, gaped at her as if seeing her for the first time. Then, they realized another fact: every woman present was against Lin Tian being the moving target.

Ning Weiguo looked at Lin Tian, then at the three opposing women, and smiled meaningfully. However, he remained silent, thinking to himself that these matters between men and women were better left for the younger people to figure out.

Stone and the others said nothing. This kind of test was indeed dangerous, but to them, it was trivial. They had experienced the storms of bullets on battlefields; this was nothing in comparison.

Moreover, in the world of mercenaries, there was a deadly game involving placing a single bullet in a revolver, which had six chambers. Without knowing the bullet’s position, two people shot at each other.

The lucky ones had their opponents fire an empty chamber, those unlucky had their opponents fire the only bullet loaded. Whether one lived or died was left to fate. The chance of being shot by the other party was one in six.

Since no one could dodge a bullet at such close range, the outcome depended on luck. A non-vital hit meant at most an injury, a hit to a vital part meant instant death.

Many mercenaries had played this dangerous game of Russian roulette before.

"Don’t worry, they won’t hit me," Lin Tian winked at the beauties, jokingly said, "and if they do hit me, they’ll have to go to prison."

Thunder Wolf and Ghost’s faces fell, come on, it’s just a game, how could they not trust our shooting skills? Could we even have a good time playing?

Xiao Manxuan, being a clever girl, knew that continuing the conversation would only make them the laughingstock. Everyone here was prideful; it was a game among men after all.

The little girl had no choice but to keep silent and choose to trust Lin Tian, thinking that Lin Tian had already created enough miracles, and today would be no different.

"Let me just say this," Ning Weiguo spoke up, "you will be shooting with assault rifles, each person can only use three bullets, hit or miss, but don’t waste bullets."

"Boss, if I can’t hit a wooden stick with three shots, I won’t have the face to take a fourth shot," Thunder Wolf solemnly said.

"Okay, let’s start." Lin Tian picked up a wooden stick at random from the construction site and waved it, saying, "I’ll stand in front of the wall, the stick will extend out of my reach, so you don’t have to worry about me cheating by holding onto the stick."

Lin Tian, holding the stick, walked to a nearby wall. The stick was extended horizontally to his right, with the wall behind him made of concrete bricks, which was definitely bulletproof and thus a safe temporary target range.

Ghost and Thunder Wolf received assault rifles from the soldiers, pulled the bolts to check them, also examined the scopes, and then ejected the bullets to hand them back to the soldiers, keeping only three.

The two were determined bachelors; I would keep only three bullets. If they missed with three, no fourth shot would be fired.

"Do you want to go first, or should I?" Thunder Wolf, holding the rifle, asked Ghost.

"Hey, why don’t you both go together?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

Ghost rarely revealed a smile and said, "We might as well do as Brother Tian says, otherwise you’re going to look pretty bad."

"You two guys..." Thunder Wolf was speechless again, he was more speechless today than in his past twenty-some years combined.

"Distance one hundred meters, moving target, the target is the stick, commence shooting!" Stone, acting as the temporary command giver, shouted a series of orders.

As soon as he finished, Ghost and Thunder Wolf quickly raised their guns, aiming at the stick in Lin Tian’s hands, everyone held their breath, watching this scene nervously.

However, though the shooting positions were set and the target was aimed, no shots were fired; both chose to wait for the right moment.

Yet, ten minutes passed. No one under the sun made a sound, quietly watching the two men aim, with the afternoon sun seemingly fiercer than at midday.

The special police’s foreheads were already sweating, but they made no noise. However, if one looked closely, under such a glaring sun, Ghost and Thunder Wolf didn’t sweat at all, and the hands holding the heavy rifles didn’t tremble. Both were controlling their breathing rhythm at a specific frequency.

"Lin Tian, hurry up and tell them to shoot, just aiming without shooting isn’t solving anything!" Xiao Manxuan shouted loudly, knowing the feeling of being aimed at was more uncomfortable than getting shot quickly, so she deliberately spoke up to help Lin Tian.

The adorable little girl was indeed considerate, Lin Tian found it amusing and turned to smile at her, making an OK gesture.

"You fool, being aimed at by two snipers and still getting distracted!" Xiao Manxuan’s eyes widened, she said anxiously, yet she didn’t realize that her speaking was also distracting Lin Tian.

"Puff, puff..." Suddenly, two shots rang out, and even the silencers couldn’t completely mask the sound of the bullets being fired. Everyone’s hearts jumped.
