Chapter 389 - Snatched Away Prey
As the group entered the mountain forest, a slight wind blew on their way there.
The air was cool and there was no sun, making for pleasant weather.
Lu Yimei walked over with the group and saw that the students from the other two military schools had begun the activity.
Gu Qingjiu saw that too.
She saw a student from a military school she didn’t recognize, standing at the edge of the mountain and looking towards them.
Since they were too far away, she couldn’t see the person.
She could only sense that the other party was staring at them, before speedily disappearing into the forest.
“Hmph, they’re collecting intelligence?” grunted Lu Yixin.
Another member of the shooting department suggested, “Seems like someone from the Haihe Military University.”
Although excellent eyesight was required of a member of the shooting department, they were all too far away.
They could only roughly see from where they stood.
“Yeah, it’s Haihe.”
Lu Yixin sounded certain. “National Defense University must still be resting. They’ve always put up an incredible performance and would always arrive last.”
Merely hearing this from Lu Yimei made Gu Qingjiu detect the conflict that perhaps existed between the military schools.
However, to be ranked fifth from the bottom, inevitably, that there was conflict…
It was normal for humans to show off.
But when they met at the forum, the three military schools got along pretty well.
But with a sharpshooter holding the fort, National Defense University clearly wouldn’t come to such an event. Though, Gu Qingjiu felt rather curious about them.
With Lu Yimei leading the way, they got near the mountain forest very quickly. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Lu Yimei divided them into teams.
“Yixin, you need to take Gu Qingjiu with you. She’s new here, do give her more guidance. Let’s not aim for the number of prey we hit. Hit the limbs of the prey whenever it’s possible and train up your accuracy.”
After they had entered, they entered in teams. Lu Yimei paired Gu Qingjiu up with Lu Yixin.
Although Gu Qingjiu was a talented shooter, she definitely wouldn’t be as good as the experienced members since it was her first time on a real battlefield.
As she got along pretty well with Lu Yixin, Lu Yimei assigned her younger sister to guide her.
Lu Yixin nodded, then chose a path and entered the mountain forest with Gu Qingjiu.
This mountain was situated in the suburbs and within an important military point, occupying quite a vast area.
This was even larger than the mountain where her troops were stationed before she came to military school.
As more than a hundred people were scattered throughout the mountain forest, they were quite spread out.
The mountain was green and luxuriant, and from time to time the chirping of birds could be heard. There was even the fragrance of flowers mixed with the smell of mud in the air.
It was rare to have such quality of air in the capital.
Gu Qingjiu and Lu Yixin ran halfway up the mountain, making cracking noises as they stepped upon the fallen tree branches on the ground.
Gu Qingjiu also noticed a figure flash by among the bushes from time to time.
Lu Yixin clued her in from the side, “That’s a wild rabbit. They run extremely fast and aren’t easy to hit. It’s easy to hit a pheasant, but they aren’t as numerous in quantity as wild rabbits. If we’re lucky, we might bump into a wild boar, but personally I’ve never seen one before. Someone from the National Defense University hit one though.”
While she was explaining, Gu Qingjiu suddenly saw a speedy figure pounce towards them.
The speed was so amazingly fast that all one could see was a blur. But that figure came to a halt after leaping towards a pile of hay.
As its figure was blocked by the hay, they couldn’t clearly see it.
But Gu Qingjiu could roughly figure out its exact location and was preparing to strike.
‘Bang!’
A gunshot suddenly fired from above, accurately hitting the rabbit in the hay!
