129 When Practicing With Weapons, Theory Isn’t Enough

She had downloaded a lot of things in the past, but in the past year, she had only watched a few. When she was at home, she would go through all the videos and books about firearms and study them carefully. She was no longer the newbie who knew nothing about firearms.

Nothing was impossible in this world. Du Yue had always believed that as long as she worked hard enough, she would eventually get what she wanted.

He Xing’s eyes were full of admiration. “You always make me look at you in a different light. Now that you know the gun in your hand well enough, I won’t say much more. Let’s start teaching you how to shoot!”

Du Yue had also read up a lot on shooting theories. Fortunately, she had He Xing, a weapon expert, by her side. With his careful guidance, Du Yue believed that it would not take long for her to gain a mastery of shooting skills.

While she was practicing shooting, Du Yue had completely forgotten about the time. She did not feel tired at all. She only felt very excited and thrilled. It was a completely different feeling from when she used the Tang sword. Du Yue only stopped reluctantly when she saw that He Xing had less than half of the bullets left.

“Why did you stop? Are you tired?” He Xing asked her with a smile.

Du Yue waved her hand. “That’s not it. I just feel like I’ve practiced enough.”

There should be more opportunities for her to practice in the future. Bullets were precious, and they could not be wasted. Although He Xing did not know what Du Yue was thinking, he quickly gave her a suggestion. “I heard from Captain Zuo that the officials of the base, including many residents, will come out to hunt now. Although the weather is getting colder and colder, the number of wild animals has increased. Moreover, whether it’s their size or combat power, they’re all stronger than before. The scientists at the base discovered that the mutated animals have not only undergone changes in size and combat power, but even the quality of their meat is different from before. The meat of wild animals now is very suitable for human consumption. There are no problems with the taste or effects on health.”

Du Yue listened quietly to He Xing’s words. She felt that the long string of things he had laid out was not the main point. What he really wanted to say was the last sentence.

“So you want to hunt the animals too?” Du Yue asked him.

He Xing nodded with a look of anticipation. “It’s such a waste to go back empty-handed after this trip. Besides, you can practice your shooting while hunting. It’s a win-win situation, isn’t it?”

Since He Xing had put it that way, Du Yue could not bring herself to reject him. She had no choice but to agree. The two of them returned to the car, and He Xing found a map. Du Yue looked at the map and saw that several locations were circled in red. It was obvious that he had come prepared.

He Xing pointed to one of the circled spots. “We’re here now. We’ll reach this forest in about 40 minutes if we drive north. I specifically asked Captain Zuo, and he said that the number of wild animals in this forest is the highest.”

Seeing that He Xing had already done his homework, Du Yue had no more hesitation. “Let’s go!”

He Xing started the car and drove toward the forest that he had marked.

Having lived in the extreme cold for two years, Du Yue was used to the white scenery around her, so she was able to identify the direction. However, she realized that He Xing’s sense of direction was very strong. The scenery around them was similar, and the road ahead was also covered in white snow. However, He Xing could still find the right direction very accurately. He never got lost.

With He Xing’s superb navigation skills, the car arrived at their destination after driving for about 45 minutes. Before the two of them got out of the car, they saw two cars parked about 70 to 80 meters ahead. They looked in that direction, and their expressions became more and more serious.

If there were only two cars, it would not be strange. However, the two vehicles were surrounded by a large herd of wild boars. Looking at the countless wild boars in front of them, even Du Yue felt that it was a little tricky. “The weather is so cold, but the wild boars are still so active,” Du Yue muttered softly. She was not expecting an answer from the other party.

“The research data has shown that their body functions have undergone some changes,” He Xing said. “The current temperature is not unbearable for them. The reproduction rate of wild boars is fast to begin with. They could give birth to one or two babies a year, with each boar giving birth to at least three or four babies. At most, they can even give birth to about 12 babies at once. Now, their reproductive ability has become even more powerful. From one to two babies a year, it has become three to four.”
