The reason why he wasn’t optimistic was very simple. Azure Bird had already displayed extraordinary strength during the previous training. It wasn’t because she happened to have such good results that he wanted to challenge her but because she really had such strength.

“After today, the sharpshooter will change.” The male soldier took out the magazine from his rifle and counted the bullets inside again. He confirmed that he had used up all the bullets he had.

There was still the compet.i.tion with the fixed targets and the human body targets. He needed to calm down.

As he busied himself, the male soldier said, “Her results just now weren’t from just luck. If she was just lucky, then it means we’re even weaker.

“She does have the ability… to surpa.s.s me.”

His voice was a little low. The clicking sound of the magazine being reloaded made No. 2’s heart drop for some reason.

After interacting with each other for a few months, they more or less understood each other. At this moment, he could tell that his comrade was not in a good mood, but he couldn’t tell why. It was a complicated mood, and he didn’t know how to enlighten him.

“Before I came, my regimental commander told me not to think as if I’m still in the old military unit when I’m in the new place. In the old military unit, I’m an officer with some authority. But in a new place, it’s still uncertain what my position will be. It’s best to be honest and think of myself as a new recruit.

“I forgot what my regimental commander said. I didn’t treat myself as a new recruit. I treated myself as a hero who the captain was making things difficult for. Now that I think about it, what kind of hero am I? So what if I have military merits? The veterans of the Xueyu unit… Look at the injuries on their bodies. Many of them were caused by shrapnel. Compared to them, our military merits are nothing.

“In the past, I was muddle-headed and walked into a dead end. I wanted to compete with them and let them know that since we were chosen from the gra.s.sroots, we weren’t cowards. We’re all brave warriors who can go into battle to kill enemies with guns. The more I thought about it, the more unconvinced

I became. Now that I think about it, I thought too highly of myself.”

Recruit No. 2, who was driving, sniffed. Seeing that they were about to meet the car in front, he hurriedly said, “Let’s talk later. It’s hard to talk now.”

Azure Bird’s arrival was like a sharp bayonet that suddenly cut through their pride. It made them realize that the strength they were so proud of might really be… nothing in the other party’s eyes.

They couldn’t even defeat a military school student. How could they defeat a veteran? What right did they have to say those words?

“Brother, there’s nothing to talk about. We just need to recognize the truth

now. Really, I’m already reflecting on myself and recognizing the truth.”

No. 1 smiled. The invisible pressure brought about by the appearance of the female soldier, Azure Bird, was enough for them to recognize the truth.

“The captain didn’t show his face much. The moment he appeared, he brought Azure Bird back. I even guessed that the reason why he hasn’t shown his face all this while was because he couldn’t be bothered to deal with us one by one. He didn’t want the veterans to waste time on us either. He brought over a

military school student who’s younger than us to let us have a taste of her strength. What else can we say? Nothing.”

The car in front was getting closer and closer. The male soldier didn’t say anything else. He hugged his rifle and stared ahead firmly..
